Chapter 76: A Man’s Heart Is a Thick Needle in the Bottom of The Ocean
“Comrade Gu Yan, can you carry on with the cross country?” Captain Lu asked seriously.
Gu Yan nodded. “Report, officer, I’m fine!”
Lu Ye looked at his little wife with approval and then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “When you run, you need to take note of your breathing rhythm. You can’t go too fast at the star. Maintain your stamina. Little angel, you’re too skinny. You need to train your body. Your stamina needs to keep up with me in the future.”
The first half of the sentence sounded fine, but the latter half... didn’t seem too right.
Gu Yan was speechless. She pretended to not comprehend his words and proceeded to speed up a little, running to the front line along the process.
Lu Ye grinned and ran at the back.
Last night, when he returned to the temporary dorms, he was annoyed by Bai Changle, so much that he kicked him out. Lu Ye didn’t get to fall asleep.
As soon as he lay on the bed and closed his eyes, he couldn’t help but imagine the little angel.
Their first time holding each other’s hands, he was the one who initiated it, of course.
As for their first embrace, however, she was the one who took the initiative. Although it didn’t last long, Lu Ye could reminisce about it for a long while. He couldn’t help himself, making it harder to fall asleep.
Hence, immediately in the morning, Captain Lu got up annoyed. That all disappeared, however, when he flirted with his wife and saw her beautiful figure.
A man’s heart was also a needle at the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps it was the needle that calmed the ocean.
The large group of female soldiers was quite pitiful. All of them were panting heavily, and some even started to drag behind.
The one running at the front was still Guo Rou whose stamina was very good. Not far behind her was Gu Yan.
Gu Yan could actually catch up with Guo Rou, but this wasn’t a race. It was cross country, which mainly depended on endurance. In order to take care of Shen Jiayi next to her, Gu Yan controlled her pace.
How could Shen Jiayi not know this? She felt very guilty, thinking she was holding her friend up. She wanted to speed up, but she wasn’t able to control herself and ended up twisting her foot instead.
“Aghh!” She lost balance.
Luckily, Gu Yan was close to her and quickly caught her.
Gu Yan asked, “Jiayi, what happened?”
The immense pain made Shen Jiayi’s forehead sweat. She bit her lips and held her ankle. “I twisted my ankle. I can’t run. Gu Yan, you keep running. When an instructor or assistant instructor sees me, they’ll take me back.”
“No!” Gu Yan rejected without hesitation.
This was in the middle of nowhere. There might even be wild animals in the forest.
Gu Yan didn’t feel safe leaving Shen Jiayi here.
Shen Jiayi felt worse upon seeing that Gu Yan didn’t leave. She said, “Keep running, don’t hold yourself up because of me. If you get there late, you can’t have breakfast or lunch...”
Jiayi often put her friends’ well-being first. She was a kind-hearted person. She shouldn’t have gone through that much pain in her previous life.
Gu Yan helped her sit down on the stone on the side of the road. “You’re my good friend. You’re more important than breakfast and lunch, okay? Don’t worry, I’ve learned some massage techniques before. I can help you treat it. Perhaps it’ll be fine soon.”
Gu Yan had thought about it. Anyway, the jade pendant had eaten so much already. It was time to do work!
