Chapter 8

Su Qingche refused decisively. "No."

Song Xingchen was taken aback by his straightforwardness, not having had time to wonder how he knew she was coming to "submit an application." Su Qingche then said, "Aren't you considering me as 'enemy intelligence' now? So, are you planning to chat with your enemy behind enemy lines tonight?"

Song Xingchen listened to Su Qingche's imposing lecture and inexplicably felt diminished. In fact, upon reflection, Su Qingche had indeed shown her some mercy.

Song Xingchen has a passion for firearms that others cannot comprehend. Since childhood, she has enjoyed playing with the models and toys of guns that her father, Song, bought for her. Her level of fascination has even caused her mother to exclaim, "Where can you find a daughter who loves playing with guns so much, just like a boy."

Su Qingche walked halfway, then remembered something, casually tossed aside Chief of Staff Lu, and gathered the instructors to relay the matters at hand

He glanced at the incoming class and shouted in a deep voice: "Any class with poor discipline will have points deducted. Each class instructor should keep a close watch on their own class's team, with the guidance of the assistant instructor."

Su Qingche frowned upon hearing this, "Are you saying that you have to share a bathroom with a male classmate or live in the same dormitory?"

A group of soldiers is currently shooting at the shooting range, and it is unclear whether they are undergoing an assessment or something else; the atmosphere appears to be exceptionally tense

Song Xingchen understood that soldiers must adhere to rules and cannot break regulations, but right now he felt uncomfortable all over and needed to take a bath to feel refreshed. However, it was not feasible here with Su Qingche, and there was no hope of finding a solution elsewhere

She frowned and slightly pursed her lips, asking: "Why not!"

Song Xingchen felt as if her head was about to explode, and she glared fiercely, saying: "Mr. Su, I will wait to see you remain a bachelor for the rest of your life." After saying this, she could not be bothered to engage with her any further and turned around, slamming the door behind her

However, she is very self-aware and would never think that Su Qingche changed her strategy regarding hot water for her own sake

Song Xingchen's expression immediately darkened, "Who said I am familiar with Su Qingche!"

After taking a hot shower, Song Xingchen felt completely relaxed. The dissatisfaction from leaving the captain's office dissipated along with her beautiful mood

Chief of Staff Lu's eyes flashed with brilliance, "So, can you handle it, Commander?"

Her bright and striking face became even more radiant with anger, and standing at the front of the line, surveying the students below, she exuded an unexpectedly wonderful sense of harmony

With just two words, Song Xingchen dismissed all the explanations that were on the tip of his tongue

The instructor in charge of the shooting range is not the original instructor for each class; this instructor is robust and imposing, exuding an air of aggression.

Chief of Staff Lu awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Commander, you are too straightforward. I just want to be friends with them"

The instructor behind shouted loudly, "Hey, you there, come here and take Instructor Song to the commander's office."

The orderly seemed to hesitate for a moment before smiling and saying, "Chief of Staff Lu said he feels unwell all over, especially as if he has been stabbed in the heart and is recovering from the injury."

The shooting range here has been cleared, and the students have been taken up by the team leader

The comrade referred to as "that person" is Su Qingche's aide, a young and beautiful girl whose eyes lit up upon seeing her. "So this is Instructor Song, I've long admired your name! I was just about to head to the regiment commander, shall we go together?"

Su Qingche did not rush to speak, flipping through the documents for a while. Seeing that she still did not mention what the matter was, she gently tapped her fingers on the table. "If you don't submit the application soon, the lights will go out."

After Su Qingche left, all the instructors approached with serious expressions. "Attention, at ease, the next thing I am going to say will probably excite you..."

It is indeed very exciting

Su Qingche, upon hearing the loud sound of the door slamming, pursed her lips, contemplated for a moment, and ultimately decided to make a phone call

There is no hot water in the bedroom, and I have been taking cold showers for some time. But now that I have my period, I cannot make do with that anymore

It was probably the first time they had ever seen Song Xingchen in such a formidable and fierce manner, and the students immediately fell silent

Su Qingche cast him a glance, directly handed him the telescope in her hand, and strolled towards the formation.

The expression on the duty officer's face suddenly became strange. He tugged at the corner of his lips and secretly glanced at Commander Su. Seeing that he did not seem to care, he handed over the document in his hand. "Report, this is what Chief of Staff Lu asked me to bring over."

Is this still considered ineffective? Just one sentence made these little rascals behave.

Song Xingchen felt unwell in the afternoon. After completing his morning run, he experienced stomach pain. Initially, he thought it was due to excessive exercise, but by the afternoon, the pain in his abdomen transformed from a sharp sensation to a series of fine, cramping pains.

Su Qingche flipped through a few pages and casually asked, "Where is he? Why didn't he come in person?"

Thus, whether Song Xingchen left or stayed was no longer of consequence; however, in the end, he still silently followed due to the coercion of the duty officer

Su Qingche put on the gloves and glanced over at Song Xingchen, her eyes flickering slightly. After a moment, she said: "Do you know what it means to consider the awareness of friend and foe? Do you think you can just have someone delivered to you because you want to eat them?" After saying this, she lowered her voice and added: "I have noticed that your military quality has been declining sharply lately."

Su Qingche chuckled lightly upon hearing this, and with the telescope in her hand, she playfully tapped it against his chest, saying with utmost seriousness: "Save your breath, you can't handle her."

Thus, when Song Xingchen saw Su Qingche again the next day, she still maintained an air of arrogance, completely ignoring the leader.

Su Qingche then shifted her gaze, noticing Song Xingchen walking in with a somewhat awkward expression, and instinctively raised an eyebrow. "Is there something you need?"

She glanced at the instructor beside her, whose expression was somewhat strange, and then shrugged her shoulders, yielding her position. "You take over, I can't do it."

Are you not taking any special measures when the female comrades are unwell? We are here for military training, but we are not here to be subjected to abuse

Comrade Instructor secretly praised Song Xingchen for grasping the key points well while pointing at Su Qingche's office and said: "Instructor, you don't need to feel embarrassed; I understand what your young ladies find difficult to express."

Song Xingchen raised a hand to rub his temple. Noticing Su Qingche had already furrowed her brows and looked over, he stepped to the front of the line and called out in a clear and bright voice: "Do you want to lose points? Everyone, be quiet."

Su Qingche is going to the shooting range, taking the emotional Chief of Staff Lu along with her

Her menstrual cycle has always been punctual, but after being in this dense forest without a mobile phone as a means of communication, she lost track of time.

Class Song Xingchen was not initially under her management, and coupled with her appearance, which resembled that of a mere ornament lacking any imposing presence, the cohesion has always been rather poor

Before she arrived, her hair was down, long curls cascading behind her like black silk.

Su Qingche stood at the back with a military telescope in hand, his posture upright. Unlike the Su Qingche seen on ordinary days, he now exuded a unique iron-blooded aura characteristic of soldiers, with a heavy military presence.

Song Xingchen's first feeling upon arriving at the shooting range was one of exhilaration.

Song Xingchen was dressed in a loose-fitting training uniform, with the buttons fastened meticulously. She was tall and had a good proportion, which gave this otherwise unremarkable training uniform a unique charm

Su Qingche turned her head to glance at him, squinting her eyes, "Are you interested in her?"

From a distance, after the soldiers had completed their routine training following two rounds, Su Qingche finally turned around to look. In those pitch-black eyes, ripples stirred, and her expression was so somber that it seemed as if water could drip from it

Chief of Staff Lu has increasingly developed a fondness for this instructor. He nudged Su Qingche's arm and quietly asked, "Commander, do you think the organization could turn a blind eye and provide me with personal information if I could be helped to get rid of my marital difficulties?"

She tugged at the corner of her clothing, glanced at the excessively simple arrangement of the entire office, and finally set her eyes on the sofa nearby. After taking a few steps, she sat down. "You all continue your conversation; I will sit for a while."

Song Xingchen curled her lips, thinking that she still needed something from him, so she couldn't be bothered with the professional jargon coming out of his mouth, and spoke directly. "Can I borrow your bathroom to take a hot shower?"

Song Xingchen felt that coming to find this instructor was truly a huge mistake, and without bothering to say anything, turned around to head back to the dormitory

Su Qingche knew what was going on, and raised a hand to rub his brow, saying: "Since he is unwell, he should skip dinner and go hungry"

The orderly seemed unfazed, responding with a brief acknowledgment before stepping out. Before leaving, he cast a glance towards Song Xingchen, and only then did he close the door behind him.

Chief of Staff Lu felt a tremor in his calf, and an inexplicable sense of pressure rushed towards him. He paused for a moment and then, with great difficulty, said: "Yes, the regiment commander is right. One must consider the awareness of both the enemy and ourselves; even in romance, tactics are essential... This assault is not easier than any battle."

specialization

The shy instructor was put in a difficult position as soon as he heard her request, "We don't have hot water available, but there is some over at the family compound. Since you are quite familiar with Commander Su, why not have a word with him?" After saying this, he cast her a rather suggestive glance.

After enduring a long wait until dismissal, she clutched her stomach and hurried back to her dormitory

It is evident that this time the shooting did not go as well as he had anticipated, and Commander Su was enraged

Su Qingche was studying the battle map when he heard a knock on the door, and only then did he raise his head and say, "Come in"

The orderly looked around, opened the door, and peered back, saying, "Come in."

Su Qingche's eyes darkened, yet she remained unmoved. "Song Xingchen, on what basis do you think you can act specially on your own?"

Su Qingche stood up, her expression serious. "If I set this precedent for you, it would mean breaking the rules. How can I establish my image in the future?"

Song Xingchen was exasperated; just talking to Su Qingche could make her so angry that her liver hurt. "Captain, although you are not a woman, could you please try to empathize occasionally? Are you not aware of the special physiological period that women experience?"

During the inspection, her sanitary napkin was not taken away, so she quickly finished handling her matters and hurried back to training
