Chapter 4, There is a story behind it

He still dares to bring up internal affairs? Mu was so angry that she instinctively blurted out something in English. He Hongxun heard it, did not stop in his tracks, and said while walking, "No wonder you graduated from the Foreign Languages Department; your English is already on par with that of Americans." Before he finished speaking, a helpless smile had already appeared at the corners of his lips.

He Hongxun's expression remained serious as he slightly furrowed his brows and strode to the bedside, signaling Yuan Shuai with his eyes to disarrange the bedding

The class leader of Muke, Kang Bo, replied: "Instructor, one night is not enough!" Seeing He Hongxun looking at him in silence, he was unsure of what he had said wrong, until Muke quietly said two words to him: "Report." Only then did he realize, and he raised his voice to respond: "Report, Instructor, one night is not enough!"

My soldiers do not possess exceptional physical abilities by nature; they have been developed through training

Listening to the passionate accounts of the soldiers and gazing at the glory on the honor wall along with the vibrant red military flag, the faculty and students of C University seemed to be transported back to an era filled with the chaos of war and the haze of gunpowder, experiencing the baptism of war both physically and mentally. From their expressions, it is evident that these students, who live in a time of peace, have a rapidly growing admiration for the military personnel.

Su Tianyin turned to He Hongxun and said, "Instructor, could you perform for us?"

Stunned by his rapid calculations, Kang Bo momentarily failed to respond

The warrior was naturally unaware of this brief interlude, but upon seeing the camp commander, he immediately straightened his back, snapped to attention, and saluted: "Commander He."

He Yicheng called, and Mu Ke went outside to answer. On her way back, she unexpectedly ran into He Hongxun outside the training ground. Unable to hold back, she expressed her dissatisfaction when he turned to see her: "Are you trying to train us to be special forces?" The assessment items were clearly the training subjects for field troops, which was simply unbelievable.

Mu Ke did not forget how he scolded her with a dark face, saying: "You might as well change your name to Mu Youli. I am the instructor!" This made her stand in the center of the training ground for three hours. She had originally forgotten the grudge of standing at attention, but now it came back to her. Therefore, it is said that one should not offend anyone, especially women

Furrowing his thick brows, he said in a deep voice: "For the next month, you will be soldiers. I have just one word for new recruits: practice!" After a pause, glancing at the unkempt bedding, he continued: "You have one night to sort this out. Tomorrow morning, I will check again, and if it still looks the same, you will all stand at attention collectively."

After a brief interlude, the instructor and the students moved to the cafeteria. As they sang "Unity is Strength" in a rhythm that varied between fast and slow, high and low, He Hongxun felt as if he were listening to the buzzing of mosquitoes; he even believed that these students were beyond redemption

Perhaps related to his profession, his voice quality stands out as unique, possessing a deep and resonant charm that is both masculine and solemn

"Those who say success is difficult are all liars." He Hongxun unexpectedly said during the silence, his gaze landing on Kang Bo's youthful face: "The reason for not succeeding is that you imagine it to be too difficult."

They exchanged glances, a collision akin to sparks igniting. However, he was a person of great restraint. He merely held her delicate hand symbolically for a moment before letting go. To outsiders, their interaction appeared to be merely a polite gesture. The movement was so swift that the sharp-tongued Miko had no opportunity to speak, yet the rebelliousness and sharpness deep within her character were stirred by his enigmatic smile, prompting her to consider a contest of wills with him

Seeing her students being "struck down," Muko finally spoke up: "Report to the instructor." Receiving a glance from He Hongxun, she asked, "Are we not going to sleep?"

In the previous moment, Kang Bo, who was still filled with resistance, was suddenly awakened by He Hongxun's words, and a light of "admiration" rose in his eyes. He realized that as professional soldiers, they held true credentials, which were certainly not mere boasts.

It was the first time in her life that she was so close to a soldier, and Su Tianyin couldn't help but exclaim, "How can one possibly sleep like this"

He Hongxun lowered his head to glance at the watch on his wrist, which read 5:03. He asked, "Now, there are thirteen hours and fifty-seven minutes until my inspection tomorrow. If we count five minutes for each repetition, you can perform one hundred sixty-seven repetitions." Staring at the tall and thin Kang Bo, he articulated each word carefully: "If a movement with a difficulty coefficient of zero is repeated one hundred sixty-seven times without any improvement, what does that indicate?"

Su Tianyin's eyes sparkled as she took the lead in applauding, not forgetting to praise, "Instructor, you are amazing"

Are you suggesting that we lack practice

What is the standard for being able to endure?" Mu Ke retorted, his expression a mix of stubbornness and a hint of provocation, "Our physical fitness cannot be compared to that of your soldiers! Your inhumane training methods simply cannot be put to use.

After becoming familiar with the basic situation of the training base, the students from each class were taken back to the camp area by the instructors and counselors to visit the soldiers' barracks. The corridors they walked through were exceptionally clean, and casually opening one of the doors revealed a level of tidiness that astonished the teachers and students present

Do you have any objections? Keep them to yourself. Then came a line that was all too familiar: "I am the battalion commander. If you keep talking back to me, I'll send you to feed the pigs." He certainly did not want to go to the farm, so he obediently fell silent

It was unclear whether it was the impressive demeanor of the officers that had left an impact, or if He Zhangxun's performance was so understated that no one noticed the unusual connection between the two. Meanwhile, the counselor Su Tianyin, who had previously tugged at Mu Ke's clothes, spent the entire afternoon in a daze, incessantly expressing her admiration for He Hongxun, secretly hoping that the instructor for her class would be him. She was even dissatisfied with Mu Ke for ignoring He Hongxun, saying, "Don't you think that Comrade Colonel is quite alluring to women?"

Yuan Shuai felt a bit awkward, but the students were excited. The teacher spoke the words they dared not say, and thus, they all turned to look.

The company commander is indeed the company commander; his movements are clean and efficient, orderly and methodical. The scattered blankets are quickly folded into neat squares, pleasing to the eye. Mu couldn't help but recall a line from "Soldier Assault": "Square on all sides, octagonal on the sides, flies fly up and split, mosquitoes fly up and slide"

His unexpected arrival had its reasons, as according to the previous instructions, it should not have been Commander He himself coming over. After all, such trivial matters could be handled independently by the soldiers under his command. Therefore, regarding the sudden change, General Yuan, who had been disqualified from the competition due to his reckless actions during the confrontation, was quite dissatisfied. He boldly protested at that time: "Commander, why are you taking my job?"

After dinner, the instructor escorted the trainees back to their respective barracks and invited the counselor to a separate office to inform them of the wake-up times, assembly times, and various training activities during the military training period. Mu Ke listened and clearly felt that the intensity of this year's military training was much higher than four years ago, with even a comprehensive assessment similar to wilderness survival scheduled for the last three days

"I said not to let you sleep?" He Hongxun retorted, then added: "The effect of this action directly influences the duration of your sleep, so whether you sleep or not is in your hands."

The main tasks after the lunch break are to understand the deeply rooted military units, familiarize oneself with the training base environment, and organize internal affairs. These aspects are all essential components of military training, which Mu Ke practiced when he was a freshman

Boldly, Su Tianyin was the first to speak: "Instructor"

With a furrowed brow, Mu Ke was thoroughly frustrated. He thought to himself: Temptation? You will soon experience his formidable combat power.

Could you be a bit more humanized

The warrior answered loudly, "Yes," and then turned to face the trainees: "Hello, classmates..."

For the average person, making a bed cannot be considered a job at all; however, for soldiers, it is an extremely important lesson. Each soldier's technique is highly skilled, and the resulting "tofu blocks" are all uniform in size and shape, with no discrepancies whatsoever

He Hongxun stood up straight and said, "Remember, before speaking to the instructor during military training, first say 'Report.'" After finishing, he gave Yuan Shuai a glance and stepped aside.

"Did you not say that training should be dehumanized?" Seeing that she still wanted to argue, He Hongxun straightened his expression and said, "Instead of wasting time debating with me here, you might as well hurry back and make the bed." He took a step but then paused, staring at her face, and reminded her, "Don't say that your housekeeping was personally 'guided' by me. I find it embarrassing!" His tone was harsh, but his expression carried a subtle softness that was not easily noticeable. He reminded her again, "Don't say that your housekeeping was personally 'guided' by me. I find it embarrassing!" His tone was harsh, but his expression carried a subtle softness that was not easily noticeable.

After the class of Deng Muke finished singing, as they were preparing to march into the cafeteria at the command, He Hongxun, with a serious expression, said: "Fifty people cannot outshout me, the squad leader. Sing it again!" Thus, they sang until the fifth round, before he finally allowed Yuan Shuai to give the command to turn.

Yuan Shuai noticed that the students seemed to lack focus, adjusted his expression, and said: "Organizing personal belongings is the most fundamental course during military training. The instructors will conduct daily inspections, and those who do not meet the standards will stand at attention!" He then turned and asked: "Is there anyone who would like to give it a try?"

Following the group, they entered a building and arrived at the entrance of a large room on the third floor. Both the young instructors and the students sensed a solemn and dignified atmosphere. They were led in an orderly manner, and soldiers from the training base were already waiting inside. Upon seeing He Hongxun, the burly soldier visibly paused for a moment.

Mu Ke lowered his voice to tease her: "Sleeping while standing." When his gaze fell on He Hongxun, who was standing at the door, she seemingly nonchalantly turned her face away.

Watching him stride away, Mu Ke swore that if she did not fold the quilt into neat squares, she would burn it directly

Indeed, lacking experience

Yuan Shuai called in the four soldiers waiting at the entrance and divided the trainees into groups: "Group study will begin now, and there will be an inspection in one hour"

He raised his hand to give a standard military salute, his gaze was imposing and highly intimidating, and he said succinctly: "Begin"

He Hongxun asked: "Who is speaking?"

Having encountered many instances of sophistry, he is undoubtedly exceptional. Mu Ke rolled her eyes and fell silent; she had experienced his tactics before. If he had not provoked her, she would not have wanted to "stoop to his level." Just like when they shook hands earlier, she actually wanted to reply, "Rest assured, that is not a gaze of infatuation." But she bit her lip and swallowed it back for herself.

Ultimately, I still enjoy sparring with him. He Hongxun looked at her thoughtfully and said, "No need to worry, with the intensity of my training, you all can definitely handle it"

The neatly arranged bunk beds, with pristine white sheets that appear to have been ironed, and the military blankets folded into neat squares, sharp-edged and angular

The students began with high enthusiasm, but when, after repeating the process over a dozen times, there was still no sign of forming a solid block, signs of impatience began to emerge. An hour of intensive study naturally cannot yield twice the result with half the effort. When He Hongxun came over to check, he looked somewhat grim at the sight of the bulging quilts.

This requirement is too high... a voice floated over.

Yuan Shuai looked at her and said, "Please speak."
