Chapter 731 was destined to be eliminated long ago.
After Su Jin saw Guo Yaxin and Liu Fei off, she saw Hu Lizheng standing outside Zhou Zhenxing's ward.
"The captain is here."
Hu Li's words replaced the relaxed look on Su Jin's face with seriousness.
"So fast?"
Hu Li nodded. "It'll have to be said sooner or later."
Su Jin fell silent and did not leave. Instead, she stood beside Hu Li and waited to see what would happen inside.
Not long after, Zheng Changqing came out four or five minutes later.
"Su Jin is here too."
His voice carried a hint of seriousness.
This seriousness wasn't directed at Su Jin and Hu Li, but rather at the fact that they hadn't yet detached themselves from the topic they'd just discussed.
Su Jin immediately asked, "Captain, how is he?"
Zheng Changqing sighed, "She must have suffered some setbacks. Go in and comfort her."
After all, the action team did not achieve fairness and impartiality in this outcome.
Su Jin hesitated for two seconds before entering the ward.
Zhou Zhenxing lay there quietly, his face still mostly wrapped in gauze, his gaze somewhat vacant as he stared at the roof above.
Su Jin could understand how frustrated and disappointed he must be feeling.
Based on his abilities and his performance during the selection process over the past two months, he should be kept on.
"Zhou Zhenxing, are you alright?"
Upon hearing her voice, Zhou Zhenxing slowly turned his neck to look at her.
Just one look from him made Su Jin feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
"I was eliminated."
His voice was still weak, and the simple five words conveyed his utter helplessness.
Su Jin was also a little uncomfortable. "This isn't your problem."
Zhou Zhenxing gave a wry smile. "I know. Actually, I wasn't qualified to participate in the selection in the first place."
It's already incredibly lucky that he can stay in the military.
Su Jin frowned, unable to bear his self-abandonment any longer.
“What happened before has nothing to do with me, but this time you were one of the best performers in the selection process for the action team. The reason you weren’t kept in the action team might be because there are other considerations above.”
A few days ago, Zheng Changqing had already told her that Zhou Zhenxing couldn't stay not because he wasn't strong enough, but because of an order given by Shi Kang.
Actually, Su Jin didn't quite understand why Shi Kang made such a decision either.
If Zhou Zhenxing was not allowed to leave the 1st Company, he should have been stopped when he first came to participate.
"Whatever the reason, I don't regret participating in the selection," Zhou Zhenxing said, raising his voice. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to have such a peaceful conversation."
That's enough.
Su Jin understood what he meant, and her cheeks tightened even more.
“Zhou Zhenxing, I’m very grateful to you for saving me, but we…”
"I know that we are just comrades-in-arms."
Zhou Zhenxing interrupted her, preferring to explain himself rather than listen to her clarification.
Su Jin doesn't want any emotional entanglement with him, and that will never change.
So no matter what Zhou Zhenxing's feelings for her are now, it's impossible.
"Don't worry, I won't give up on myself like before. I'll live a good life when I go back to the First Company. But you, you must take good care of yourself from now on."
The duties and missions undertaken by the action team are incomparable to those of ordinary companies, and she will face countless dangers and life-or-death tests in the future.
Su Jin was surprised by his words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems her worries were unnecessary.
"I will."
