Luckily, no one found out.
This time, the Logistics Department got the highest overall score and won first after tallying all the matches in the entire compet.i.tion.
Li Haili was so happy that she allowed the female soldiers to rest for two days.
Two days of rest were very hard to come by. All the soldiers cheered on the captain.
When Commander Tang Ruidong complimented Li Haili, she remained humble and said, “We need to thank Lu Ye for this. He trained them well.”
Lu Ye smiled and said nothing, but his eyes drifted towards that beautiful figure.
This sudden decision to become their instructor turned out to be a wise one.
At the end of the compet.i.tion, some people were happy, but some were distraught. Nevertheless, the entire Logistics Department was overjoyed.
They left the training camp on a truck.
Gu Yan looked back and saw a figure by the door.
The figure was tall and full of vigor. He had his hands in his pocket as his ethereal appearance stood out. Other people couldn’t peel off their eyes from him.
Bai Changle walked closer and patted Lu Ye’s shoulder before saying, “What are you looking at? The truck has disappeared. Are you planning to become a statue?”
“If I am, that would be good.”
“What do you mean?” Bai Changle couldn’t understand it.
Lu Ye didn’t have the time to explain to him. He needed to submit a report later and then prepare for the date with his wife tomorrow.
Just thinking about his date with her tomorrow got every drop of blood inside of him boiling.
When Gu Yan went back to the platoon, she found some spare time to review. At this juncture, there was one less person in the dormitory.
Lin Xiaoyu’s bed was empty.
During this moment, everyone learned Lin Xiaoyu left the camp due to some health reason. Everyone made their speculations regarding this matter.
Quite some people looked at Gu Yan while talking about it.
As for Guo Rou, she was much calmer. She didn’t ask Gu Yan anything since she already knew the answers without needing to question the other party.
As for Zhang Cuihua, she looked around and couldn’t resist asking Shen Jiayi.
“Shen Jiayi, did Lin Xiaoyu really quit?”
“I don’t know. How about asking Platoon Leader Han?” Shen Jiayi didn’t want to talk to her either.
Zhang Cuihua sneered, “Yo, you just got second for singing. But so what? Now, you dare to flaunt your att.i.tude.”
Gu Yan threw a pillow over, which almost hit Zhang Cuihua’s face.
Zhang Cuihua jumped up in surprise and glared at Gu Yan.
“Gu Yan, what are you doing?”
“My hands slipped.” Gu Yan didn’t even raise her head.
Zhang Cuihua was furious, but inside this dormitory, aside from Guo Rou, the least she dared to provoke was Gu Yan.
She didn’t talk back anymore and merely walked out.
Shen Jiayi knew Gu Yan was helping her.
“Gu Yan, I …”
“I know, a person’s personality can’t change overnight. But Jiayi, kind people always get bullied while mild-tempered horses get rode on. Next year, you’ll be going to the Arts Department. You have surpa.s.sed many of the soldiers in there and joined the singing and dancing band directly. Many people would be jealous. If you can’t handle those things, you probably won’t enjoy your daily life.”
Shen Jiayi looked down and bit her lips.
Shen Jiayi’s voice was low. “You’re right. I know this, but sometimes, I don’t know how to retaliate. When I move to the Arts Department, Shen Nana won’t let me go definitely, let alone the others.”
“Jiayi, come out, I’ll tell you something.”
“Oh, okay.”
The two exited the dormitory and proceeded under the shade of a tree.
All of the leaves had fallen out. There was no snow yet, so the tree looked barren.
Gu Yan relayed, “Back then, it was Shen Nana who convinced Lin Xiaoyu to throw the boiling water at me.”
“What?!” Shen Jiayi was extremely shocked.
