Looking at her worried face, Shi Zhan felt extremely remorseful. He shouldn't have made such an excessive joke, causing her so much worry.
"Youyou, I didn't know you cared about me so much!"
Shi Zhan's voice was full of deep emotion.
"Of course! You are incredibly important to me!"
Wu Youyou's eyes were incredibly serious, like a blazing flame, instantly melting Shi Zhan's heart.
Shi Zhan gazed at her with deep affection, as if she were the only person in his world.
"You're okay, don't worry. Good luck with the rest of the military training!"
Wu Youyou smiled, knowing that as long as they could see each other and be safe and sound, that was the greatest happiness for them.
They smiled at each other, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, warming each other's hearts.
At this moment, Tang Chuxuan stood at the window on the first floor of the boys' dormitory, like a statue.
His gaze was sharp, fixed on the two of them, the coldness in his eyes seeming to freeze into ice.
He gripped the rag doll tightly in his hand, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, as if he was deep in thought.
He didn't lie back down on his bed until he saw Wu Youyou return to the dormitory building.
When he went to sleep, he carefully placed the plush doll beside his pillow, and the unique scent of Wu Youyou, like the delicate fragrance of orchids, wafted into his nostrils.
His expression was one of contentment, like a child who had received his favorite toy. He closed his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He soon fell into a deep sleep. Tonight, he was as if he had been reborn, and he did not take sleeping pills as usual.
The next morning, Tang Chuxuan opened his eyes and was surprised to find that his brain was no longer as foggy as usual, but was exceptionally clear, his head felt incredibly relaxed, and his vision had become clear and bright.
He turned to look at the plush toy beside his pillow, a smile involuntarily spreading across his lips as he murmured softly,
"Could you be the cure for my ailment in this life?"
He quickly tidied himself up and set off as nimbly as a cheetah, soon waiting for all his classmates to arrive on the playground.
During this time, he clearly saw Shi Zhan enter the group.
Their gazes were like two sharp swords, crossing in the air, as if one could hear a clanging sound.
A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if a thunderstorm was about to break.
They both knew perfectly well that the struggle for Wu Youyou had already begun.
Wu Youyou and the others ran quickly to the group, as if they were afraid of being late.
Fortunately, they arrived just in time. Her gaze involuntarily turned to the left front, and there stood Shi Zhan.
She felt both worried and excited; worried that Shi Zhan would get injured again during training, and excited to be able to train with him.
Liu Xiaolan naturally saw Song Shaojie standing in the group, one in front of Shi Zhan and the other behind him. She couldn't help but smile slightly.
Today, Tang Chuxuan's training session was unique, taking place in the wild.
He broke up the sixth squad into ten smaller groups, each with only thirty members.
Wu Youyou's group is the eighth group, and they will face a fierce competition in a mountain climbing rally.
Everyone's ankles were strapped with sandbags weighing five kilograms each, as if they had been enchanted.
The terrain of the racecourse resembles a winding dragon, coiling around the nearby mountains, with rugged and difficult roads, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
The competition rules are unique: only the first place winner is the one who loses, and the other nine groups are all losers.
The losers need to kneel on one knee, concede to the first group, and shout:
"You're the best, we admit defeat!"
Upon hearing this rule, everyone's fighting spirit to be number one was ignited, just as the saying goes, "A bad soldier is a bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army."
However, there is an additional note to the competition rules:
The team captain must reach the destination within the specified time, otherwise the entire team will lose.
At this moment, Shi Zhan's face remained expressionless, while Song Shaojie's face revealed obvious disgust.
He cursed under his breath.
"Is this guy surnamed Tang doing this on purpose? There were no outdoor activities on today's training roster, what does he mean by this?"
Shi Zhan heard his whisper but remained silent, only a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes as he looked at Tang Chuxuan.
Is that all you've got?
Shi Zhan couldn't help but let out a series of cold snorts.
Wu Youyou didn't notice anything unusual. She only had a vague understanding of the training rules and knew that military training was very difficult.
As for whether the difficulty of this challenge exceeded the regulations, she had no way of knowing.
She only knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, she should forge ahead bravely.
Currently, each squad has not yet selected a captain.
At this moment, Tang Chuxuan's voice rang out, thunderous and clear, reaching everyone's ears.
"Now, each group must select a group leader, and the group leader who wins first place this time will directly enter the top ten special training group and win a valuable spot."
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with excitement.
Everyone coveted the position of team leader.
To ensure fairness, Tang Chuxuan had each group draw lots to determine who would become the group leader.
The lottery for Wu Youyou's group, Group 8, was personally presided over by Tang Chuxuan.
He had the students draw lots one by one, but he left Wu Youyou until the very end.
Wu Youyou's face was extremely ugly. She knew very well that Tang Chuxuan was deliberately making things difficult for her and did not want her to be the candidate for team leader.
When Tang Chuxuan finally stood in front of Wu Youyou, his serious expression seemed to carry a hint of barely concealed smile.
"Wu Youyou, the last lot is yours!"
Wu Youyou reached out her hand with some disappointment and picked up the last lot.
Everyone present gave the order to open the note at the same time. When Wu Youyou saw the word "team leader" on the note, her eyes widened, and she was overwhelmed with excitement.
She became the leader of Group 8!
"Now, those who have been assigned to be group leaders, please step forward."
Tang Chuxuan's loud voice reached Wu Youyou's ears, and her excitement was palpable.
As she stepped forward, Shi Zhan's gaze suddenly narrowed, then he looked at Tang Chuxuan, only to see his fox-like eyes looking at Wu Youyou with a smile.
Shi Zhan instantly realized that all of this was Tang Chuxuan's conspiracy.
Wei Ziyao, the leader of the fifth group, also stepped forward.
When she noticed that Wu Youyou had also stepped forward, she stared at Wu Youyou with eyes as sharp as knives, as if she were looking at a defeated opponent.
The whistle blew.
"Very good. You will each serve as the group leader. I hope you can all demonstrate your true abilities."
Tang Chuxuan's deep and resonant voice echoed in the air.
He looked around at everyone again and said solemnly,
"Listen up, everyone. The more people in each group arrive, the greater the chance of winning. But if the team leader isn't among them, even if your group has the most people, you'll still lose."
Everyone understood that this was a major test of teamwork skills.
Everyone quickly got ready, feeling the weight of the sandbags on their calves.
