The instructor had clearly said she would be running fifty kilometers on the mountain road with a twenty-kilogram load.
But this vice-captain only gave her about ten kilograms of weight, and now, after running only twenty kilometers, he was saying it was enough.
Since he was deliberately cutting her some slack, she wouldn't be ungrateful.
However, she needed to keep the evidence.
Xia Chujian said, "Instructor, could you give me a receipt to prove that I ran fifty kilometers on the mountain road with a twenty-kilogram load?"
The vice-captain looked up at her and said with a smile, "Of course. I'll record it in your special training file. You can check it after you get back."
Xia Chujian nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you, Instructor."
Looking at the time on her Smart Bracelet, it was only 6:20 in the morning.
The sun was rising from the east, the morning light like flowing gold, instantly dyeing the mountains and plains in layers of color. The deep and shallow gold jumped before her eyes, like a richly colored oil painting.
Looking at this scenery, Xia Chujian finally exhaled the breath that had been stuck in her chest.
"Let's go back. You can still make it to the morning flight training." The vice-captain had a good impression of Xia Chujian.
Although she was a female trainee, she was decisive and straightforward. When punished, she accepted it without crying or making excuses.
Xia Chujian said, "Instructor, give me the weighted backpack. I'll carry it."
"Can you still carry it?"
"Of course, don't underestimate me, Xia Chujian. I'm amazing!" Xia Chujian said, her eyebrows dancing, as she took the backpack from the vice-captain's back and put it on her own.
Actually, she couldn't carry it, but if she let the instructor carry the backpack back and it was seen by Ji Nabi's cronies, who knew what kind of sarcastic remarks they would make.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist beating them up, and then she would be sent back directly.
If that happened, it would not only embarrass her direct superior, Meng Guanghui, but also make Huo Yushen look down on her even more.
She was someone who wanted to catch up with Marshal Huo's promotion record, how could she fail so early? Xia Chujian stubbornly carried the ten-kilogram weighted backpack back to the equipment room.
After returning the equipment, she checked her first punishment record on her Smart Bracelet.
Trainee: Xia Chujian.
Fifty-kilometer mountain weighted run (twenty kilograms): Excellent.
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
Wasn't this a punishment?
How did it become an excellent grade?!
Xia Chujian wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the vice-captain inquiringly, asking in a low voice, "Instructor, did you... make a mistake?"
The vice-captain knew she had seen the record and said with a smile, "No mistake. Actually, Chief Instructor Pei is a pretty good person. You were helping others, and he knows that. But arguing with people in front of the instructors is not right. It's just a reminder for you."
Xia Chujian was very touched and said, "Instructor, what's your surname?"
The vice-captain said, "You're too polite, my surname is Chen. Go back and rest, fighter jet training starts at 7:30. What model are you flying?"
Xia Chujian remembered the fighter jet model written on her doorplate and said in a low voice, "... Ghost-Class."
Vice-Captain Chen raised his eyebrows, "Ghost-Class? Starry Sky Fighter? You're flying a Ghost-Class? You're only eighteen, right?"
Xia Chujian nodded uneasily.
Actually, she didn't know how to fly at all! Meng Guanghui was really screwing her over!
Fortunately, Vice-Captain Chen said, "You must have learned from the veterans in the Interstellar Fleet before, right? This time, we'll start from scratch, with the most outstanding meritorious pilots in the entire Interstellar Military on-site teaching. I'll go back and talk to Instructor Pei, and assign you a meritorious pilot who is best at teaching."
Xia Chujian quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Vice-Captain Chen! Thank you so much!"
Vice-Captain Chen was stunned and said, "You should give a military salute, not bow."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Crap, I almost blew it.
She quickly gave Vice-Captain Chen a very standard military salute, which Meng Guanghui had specifically corrected for her.
Vice-Captain Chen was relieved to see her salute so perfectly, and said, "No matter what you were like in the fleet before, this Flight Training Base is meant to give you a complete makeover, get rid of those bad habits, and make you an excellent officer. Can you do it?"
"Reporting Instructor, yes!" Xia Chujian straightened up and saluted again, striving to meet the standards of an excellent officer.
Back in the dormitory building, Xia Chujian realized she still had time, so she quickly went to the bathroom for another shower.
After running twenty kilometers on the mountain road, she felt not only sour but also pickled in mud.
The sound of rushing water lasted for fifteen minutes before she finished washing and came out of the bathroom.
She dried her hair with a large towel, changed into a new uniform, and just sat down to finish the White Phoenix Egg she hadn't eaten in the morning when the door lock clicked, and her roommates returned.
Seeing Xia Chujian already showered, changed, and sitting at her desk eating a White Phoenix Egg, the three of them could hardly believe their eyes.
Mao Yonggui was the first to react, quickly saying, "Chujian?! You're back?! You finished the fifty kilometers?!"
Xia Chujian nodded triumphantly, "Of course. It was only fifty kilometers, a piece of cake!"
"No way? You were gone for only an hour and a half, and you could run fifty kilometers with twenty kilograms of weight?! Are you a Gene Evolver?!" Chu Qingjuan didn't believe it at all, looking at her suspiciously.
Xia Chujian laughed heartily, "Of course not. Anyway, I finished the run, no matter how I did it. What's wrong? Do you want to stuff me back out there to keep running?"
"Did Vice-Captain Chen sign off on it?" Mao Yonggui asked worriedly.
"He signed, I really finished the run." Xia Chujian took a sip of water, "I'm so exhausted. By the way, where's Ji Nabi? Did she run?"
"What's she running for? She said she wasn't feeling well and is lying in the dormitory..." Chu Qingjuan curled her lip, looking disdainful.
Xia Chujian also curled her lip and said, "She's so lucky."
Mao Yonggui went into the bathroom and saw Xia Chujian's discarded military uniform, the sweat almost crusted on it, and finally believed she had really run dozens of kilometers with weight.
She guessed it was probably less than fifty kilometers, but at least twenty kilometers, which was still impressive.
She herself couldn't run twenty kilometers with weight in an hour.
Mao Yonggui made Xia Chujian some lightly salted water, saying, "Drink some, you sweated so much, be careful of going into shock."
Sang Yadi handed Xia Chujian a piece of candy, saying, "Th-th-this... I-I-I... made it."
It was a piece of Brown Sugar that was not very regularly shaped, and it was clear that it was handmade.
Xia Chujian took it appreciatively, put it in her mouth, and narrowed her eyes, "Sweet!"
It was really sweet, but with a hint of lingering sweetness, and after eating it, she felt like all her senses were open and she felt very comfortable.
Chu Qingjuan also took a sip of water and said, "Chujian, in the future, don't meddle in the affairs of other dormitories. That Lin Xiaoxiao is no pushover either."
Xia Chujian recalled the girl's thin and timid appearance, lowered her eyes, and said, "It doesn't matter, this opportunity is very important to her, I just made her run. By the way, what were you guys doing for the past hour?"
The three roommates looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and said, "We were also running! Weighted running!"
Xia Chujian: "...Hahahaha!"
Her laughter was as crisp as silver bells, with a kind of magnetic and infectious quality that made people want to laugh along.
The three roommates also laughed.
The laughter from their dormitory spread into the corridor, and the trainees who were panting as they returned looked at their dormitory, curious about what was so happy.
Then they heard someone say, "Where's Lin Xiaoxiao? The Instructor wants you to change dormitories."
Xia Chujian and her roommates stopped laughing.
She walked over and opened the dormitory door to watch the fun.
She saw Lin Xiaoxiao carrying her bedding and luggage, walking out of that dormitory with her head down, and entering the dormitory next to Xia Chujian's.
And that quirky, short girl came out of the dormitory next door and went to Lin Xiaoxiao's previous dormitory.
Two other female trainees helped the quirky girl move her bedding and luggage into the new dormitory.
A female trainee from the dormitory across the hall said, "This is much better, Noble Lady living with Noble Lady, commoner living with commoner, everyone is comfortable... Why insist on squeezing into circles you can't reach? Isn't that just suffering?"
Xia Chujian thought, the dormitories are assigned by the base, if Lin Xiaoxiao had the ability to control the allocation of dormitories, she wouldn't have been bullied so badly.
So she said, "Aren't the dormitories assigned by the base? Can you choose your own dormitory?"
The female trainee across the hall was embarrassed by her words and was about to retort when Mao Yonggui came out, grabbed the other's hand, and said in surprise, "Liu Li, your skin is so good! How do you take care of it? Quickly, pass on your experience! I've used so many skin care products, but they don't work!"
Liu Li's attention was immediately diverted by Mao Yonggui. She smiled and touched her face, "I don't do any maintenance, it's natural, can't help you with that..."
"Ah? Natural?! That's even more amazing! I'm so jealous of you!" Mao Yonggui grabbed Liu Li's hand and actually went to the opposite dormitory.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She turned around and went back to her dormitory.
Xia Chujian looked directly at Chu Qingjuan: "Sister Chu, what's going on with Sister Mao?"
Chu Qingjuan smiled, pursing her lips, and said, "Yonggui is just that kind of person. She's quick-witted and eloquent. Some people say she likes to flatter, I don't know how to flatter, but I don't mind that she does!"
Xia Chujian nodded and said seriously, "Sister Mao is very good at this, I have to learn from her."
Chu Qingjuan said, "You're really generous."
She bumped Xia Chujian's shoulder and said, "...Are you really not blaming Lin Xiaoxiao? She didn't say a word for you when you were punished."
Xia Chujian shrugged: "She has no obligation to speak for me, just like I have no obligation to help her. But I helped, that's my own business, I can't morally kidnap her."
That's really what Xia Chujian thought, so when she was punished, she actually only resented that Ji Nabi.
Outside the door, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had originally come with an electronic lunch box, heard Xia Chujian's words, her nose tingled, and she ran back again.
Xia Chujian and her roommates didn't see her.
Xia Chujian was still complaining about Ji Nabi in her heart, thinking that this person had some kind of problem, and had to expand the retaliation, and even made her, an outsider, run fifty kilometers of mountain road with a load! Although it was only ten kilograms, and she only ran twenty kilometers, but the record said twenty kilograms was twenty kilograms, and fifty kilometers was fifty kilometers! What was even more annoying was that she was running until her lungs were about to catch fire, but the other party was lying in the dormitory pretending to be sick...
Xia Chujian sneered in her heart, silently opened her Smart Bracelet, and secretly wrote Ji Nabi's name in her "bad people book" in her notebook.
Her heart is not big at all!
This is the second update. There will be a new update at five past midnight. Reminder for everyone's Recommendation Ticket!
