Chapter 14 Guardian of the Sun
After being scolded, they all lost the excitement and thrill they had when they first beat the instructor.
I have completed the assessment. The results are not too bad, but it is not a fair victory.
Su Haoran lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Juncheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Even Zhao Erqi rubbed his hair irritably and finally stopped joking.
Everyone was dejected, and the originally energetic team became quiet.
I'm not dissatisfied. What Liao Jiao said is right.
Yes, it's just a frustration.
We are not strong enough!
Because they were their instructors, they could use some clever tricks, but they could never bring themselves to kill them.
On the battlefield, no one cares about you. Every time, the enemy will kill you.
This time, I guess Teacher Liao is disappointed.
It is the time when young people in the prime of summer admire the strong the most.
As the chief instructor Liao Xu, who is recognized as the "top 1" in the military academy, her approval is of vital importance to them.
Just like a caterpillar emerging from its cocoon, a phoenix emerging from nirvana, and a dry tree becoming a butterfly, they are reborn and come to prove the glory of life to the world when spring comes.
The passionate young men fought to become true warriors and engraved their life oaths.
In fact, the boys’ performance is already not at the average level, and this is only their first assessment.
But they came from the Imperial Capital Military Academy, so they were destined to be no better, but even stronger! Even stronger! Even stronger!
The country will be their support, but they don’t want to hide only behind the country.
The goal of these young people is to become the next guardian and the next generation ace of the country!
…
It was still the same hill where the assessment finish line was, and everyone dispersed to reflect on their training.
Only Su Haoran looked down at the mountain, still silent, just like before.
It seems puzzled and bewildered, as if something that I have always believed in my heart is quietly breaking apart and shattering into pieces.
"What are you thinking about?" came a cold and familiar voice.
Su Haoran was startled and turned around abruptly.
"Teacher Liao, my test results..."
"You're not as good as Yang Juncheng, are you not convinced?"
Su Haoran lowered his head dejectedly, and Liao Xu was answered by silence.
"Tell me, what is the task of this assessment?"
Su Haoran pondered for a moment, frowned, and looked up at Liao Xu.
"Everyone completes a 25-kilometer armed obstacle course."
"So, do you understand why you lost to Yang Juncheng in this assessment?"
Su Haoran silently said in his heart——"Everyone."
He nodded thoughtfully.
He was just a seventeen-year-old boy.
Outsiders only know that Su Haoran has an extraordinary background, is gifted, and is a loner with absolute strength.
Little did he know that walking alone was not something the young man did intentionally, but a habit that had been silently formed over the past seventeen years.
He always knew that he had a twin sister. When his sister was still alive, they had the best understanding of each other and were playmates who were most in tune with each other. That was the happiest and most carefree time.
Later, my sister disappeared and everyone became anxious and crazy, busy looking for her.
That year, he was three years old.
At the age of being the most ignorant and helpless, he could only anxiously ask, "Where is my sister?"
No one could answer him.
Later, a so-called "cousin" appeared in the family. In fact, she was one year older than him, but he always wanted her to be called sister.
He never shouted because he always knew he had a younger sister and he wanted to wait for her to come home.
From then on, the Su family seemed to have recovered from the chaos, and everyone returned to their respective duties as if nothing had happened.
But children are very sensitive. Little Su Haoran can feel that everything can no longer go back to the way it was before, because they are supposedly doing their jobs, but they are like robots, without emotions and patience.
In the past, when he and his sister made mistakes, their parents would educate them gently, teaching them by words and deeds; their parents also told them to ask adults for help when they needed it.
Later, the family seemed very tired. If he made another mistake, he would only be met with a stern rebuke: "Can you please give us some peace of mind?"
Whenever he needed help, he tried to seek it, but that so-called "cousin" always made faces and said something embarrassing.
His family members were still very tired and told him, "You should handle your own problems and grow up."
He was sad, heartbroken, confused, and missed her, but the person who could understand her was no longer there.
From then on, he was like a 50-hertz whale. No matter how loudly he screamed, no one of his kind could hear him.
After hitting the wall so many times, you get used to it, used to being alone and doing everything by yourself.
He has always thought so and done so.
But today, he lost because of doing this!
"Why do you have to be a lone hero?"
Su Haoran was still immersed in his memories when the voice forcibly pulled him out.
Before he could answer, the other party seemed not to expect him to give an answer and continued:
"Some people have no choice. To fulfill their mission and responsibilities, they bravely walk their lives alone, without complaint or regret. They are the few lights in the darkness, the guardians of the shadows."
Liao Xu looked into the distance and saw layers of mountains surrounded by fog, which seemed to be impenetrable and steep.
"But you are different. You are not like that. You have choices in your life. You are the rays of light scattered by the blazing sun. You did not come from darkness, and there is no need to force yourself to run into darkness and be alone."
"Su Haoran, you are the guardian of the sun. You should use your advantages to gather other lights and dispel the darkness. The comrades you look down upon may be the shield of your life."
At that moment, the boy's confusion disappeared and the broken pieces were swept away.
The silent heart seemed to be injected with fresh strength and beat vigorously.
This time, instead of walking alone, he wanted to explore a new relationship - comrades-in-arms.
Liao Xu stopped looking at him and turned away.
Su Haoran looked into the distance, that was the place Liao Xu had just seen.
The difference is that the fog is gone and the light suddenly appears!
The sun is coming out!
