Chapter 7, please cooperate

She stopped only to realize something was amiss, while the other counselors behind her stood still, laughing uncontrollably. Turning to look at He Hongxun, she found him watching her with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor fully anger. It turned out that he had not yet shouted the command to "go"; she had heard the word "run" and dashed out, her speed a bit too fast.

Muko sighed with a frown, thinking that what one fears often comes to pass. Judging by the intensity of training from the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, known as the King of the Battlefield, any subject he randomly selected could easily bring them all to their knees. For instance, his specialty, the mandatory military training exercise of standing at attention under the sun, would be exceedingly, exceptionally, and particularly unbearable for them

He Hongxun stopped his actions, squatted down, and looked up at her with a feigned seriousness, saying: "Comrade, this is not the time to express personal feelings; please cooperate."

Kang Bo was surprised: "Teacher, you started learning English at such a young age?"

Mu Ke chuckled lightly: "Teacher Su, you need to recognize the situation clearly"

He Congxun's figure appeared particularly tall under the scorching sun, maintaining a standard posture while standing with the trainees for about forty minutes. Upon noticing a certain comrade beginning to exhibit small gestures, such as scratching her face, he slightly pursed his lips, and his gaze, silently intense, focused on her sunburned cheeks.

Before Muko could finish speaking, Su Tianyin had already struggled to stand up, exclaiming, "I can't hold it any longer, a person has three urgent needs"

Seeing Su Tianyin slumped over in a lackluster manner, Mu Ke teased, "Do you still think he is charming?" As soon as she heard the command to rest, she immediately perked up, especially showing potential to be a little powerhouse.

Everyone was driven crazy by the training and discussed playing a game. The underlying purpose was to try to bridge the gap with the instructors, attempting to turn the enemy into allies, in hopes of easing the training over the next month

At the precise moment when the time was up, He Hoxun from the library issued the command to rest after standing for exactly one hour. Su Tianyin, who was feeling dizzy and disoriented, nearly collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Mu Ke reacted quickly and supported her elbow, helping her to the steps to rest.

That...牧可 was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond

To increase the difficulty, and in conjunction with the existing resources at the training base, the game is stipulated as follows: Two team members stand side by side, binding their adjacent left and right legs together. They then use their separated right and left hands to hold a basketball while moving a distance of 100 meters. If the ball drops during the process, they must pick it up with one hand and continue. The first to reach the finish line wins, and the losing team must perform a show

Forget it, forget it. He is very clever, and it would be quite embarrassing for him to be exposed. Moreover, he spared himself this morning, so we should not challenge his limited "kindness." After thinking it over, Mu decided against the unconstructive idea of pretending to faint, gritting his teeth and standing firm like a pine tree.

Their spirits are truly high. The drowsy Su Tianyin also woke up, humming as she lay on the bed, clutching her pillow and lamenting: "No matter how handsome the colonel is, he cannot alleviate the pain I am feeling at this moment"

After listening to the rules, Yuan Shuai called over several instructors and students, dividing the ten individuals into five groups. It is unclear whether it was intentional, but Mu Ke unexpectedly ended up in the same group as He Hongxun, whom she regarded as a class enemy. Standing next to him, who is over 1.8 meters tall, she appeared quite petite.

There is no extra time for them to complain, the instructor's voice came from the corridor: "Move quickly, we are about to start the drill..."

Mu Ke stood among the counselors, and upon hearing the deep command of "Dismissed," she quickly stood at attention. She watched as the ten instructors adjusted their postures and headed towards their respective formations, while He Hongxun walked over in her direction, his steps steady and his posture upright

"Concentrate." He Hongxun timely spoke, commanding: "Form ranks hetushucomcom."

Thank you. Mu Ke expressed his gratitude, shaking the bottle of mineral water towards Yuan Shuai, who was looking this way.

Mu Ke was exhausted and simply had no energy to waste on playing, refusing to participate no matter what. Carefree Su Tianyin didn't care whether she was willing or not, directly included her, and then took other teachers to consult the officer, with the target naturally being the highly regarded Colonel.

Mu Ke shot him a glare: "You still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks; it’s not like I did it on purpose." She wasn't foolish enough to openly confront the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army.

Su Tianyin, seeing her out of breath, said: "Why are you running so fast? Are you charging ahead?" This made the teachers nearby laugh.

"It seems you don't think highly of the instructor, why is that?" Thinking of Muko's performance, Su Tianyin felt puzzled

As soon as Su Tianyin left, Kang Bo ran over and handed the bottle of mineral water in his hand to Mu Ke: "Teacher Mu, Instructor Yuan asked me to give this to you"

I understand. Yuan Shuai chuckled and said, "However, it is written in the regulations that we are comrades in an equal relationship."

He Shunxun, with a serious expression, looked down at his watch after confirming that no one was late, began to organize the team to take them for a morning run. Before the command to run was fully issued, Mu Ke, standing at the front of the line, dashed out.

Training is exceedingly monotonous, with the subjects being nothing more than standing at ease, standing at attention, maintaining military posture, marching in step, and executing the right step, offering no variety for innovation. For someone as lively as Muko, this military training can truly drive her to madness. After a few days, she has transformed from a lively little rabbit into a wilted eggplant, completely drained.

He Hongxun knew that Yuan Shuai was doing it on purpose. Given the height difference between him and Mu Ke, he clearly lost the advantage in this game, and it was even quite strenuous. He initially wanted to suggest a reassignment, but upon noticing Mu Ke's disgusted expression and the * picture * book, he remained silent, merely casting a dark glance at Yuan Shuai, as if to say: "I won't let this go!" This frightened someone so much that they quickly turned around, pretending not to see.

"Teacher Mu, I believe it is you who should recognize the situation clearly." Su Tianyin exerted considerable effort to move a bit closer to Mu Ke: "Currently, the popularity of Comrade Zhongxiao is quite high; it would be wise for you to align with me on the same front."

Yuan Shuai's mischievous spirit emerged as he grinned and said, "Company Commander, you must not retaliate."

Starting from the age of four to recognize letters and passing level eight at twenty-one, I have studied for a total of seventeen years, which is not particularly admirable

The faint smile on her face remained warm, and Muko said softly, "My mother is an English teacher"

Attention— With a command that was not loud but full of conviction, a sharp sound echoed across the vast training ground, and the movements of ten officers instantly synchronized, exuding an imposing presence. Before them stood He Hongxun, dressed in camouflage, delivering a speech.

Muko's resistance began to surface; she restlessly fidgeted in place, deliberately obstructing He Hongxun's attempts to bend down and tie her legs.

Seeing her bewildered expression, He Hongxun could hardly suppress his laughter, and when he spoke, his tone seemed somewhat helpless: "What are you thinking? Haven't you woken up yet?"

Upon encountering his warning gaze, Mu Ke furrowed her brow, suppressing the urge to touch her face, which was tickled by her hair. She quickly withdrew her hand, standing obediently and with a serious demeanor. However, this was merely a facade; she was already contemplating in her mind whether to feign fainting if he did not issue a break command in another five or ten minutes. If she were to do so, what position would allow her to fall without injury while appearing convincingly faint.

"Not bad, you're becoming more successful." He Hongxun nodded and said casually, "Just a little smile and you’re dancing with joy. Let’s see how I can find the time to deal with you." He didn't insist, which could be considered as agreeing to participate.

Yuan Shuai dismissed it lightly and reminded, "Don't provoke him, or you'll be in for a tough time standing at attention this afternoon"

Muko did not rush to answer; she tilted her head to gaze at the azure sky, as if in contemplation or perhaps reminiscing. After a long pause, she finally said: "I have no prejudice against the instructor, it's just..."

When the loud wake-up call rang out, followed by the commands of one, two, three, four, and the resounding military songs, Muko, who had been sound asleep, reflexively sprang up from her bed, exclaiming "Ouch" before collapsing back down. After a few days of marching, her body felt as if it had fallen apart, with her arms and legs sore and painful, completely unresponsive. She lay in bed, unwilling to move, wishing she could just remain still for an entire day.

Kang Bo scratched his head and squatted down beside her: "Teacher, are there any tips for learning English? How did you pass Level 8?"

He He Hongxun was speaking with Yuan Shuai when his peripheral vision caught sight of someone approaching. After understanding Su Tianyin's intention, he instinctively frowned and turned to Yuan Shuai, saying, "You should liven up the atmosphere; it's so dull here." He could clearly sense the pressure among the students and was also discussing with Yuan Shuai how to uplift everyone's spirits.

Mu Ke smiled but did not speak. After resting for about ten minutes, she saw Su Tianyin shouting from a distance: "Mu Ke, come here quickly." Thinking it was time to gather, she hurriedly stood up and ran towards the training ground.

Su Tianyin, who was pampered by her parents since childhood and had never experienced hardship, was thoroughly subdued. She sighed and said, "There is indeed some allure, but... sigh, I still stand firm in my position"

When he encountered Yuan Shuai in the cafeteria, he teased her: "You really are something, challenging the camp commander's patience, aren't you"

A deep voice followed closely, and the shepherd who ran out of the ranks heard He Hongxun give the command "Halt!"

Mu Ke saw He Hongxun coming and was even less inclined to participate, but his arm was firmly held by Su Tianyin, making it impossible for him to leave.

Despite feeling sore all over, Gu and *Tu* managed to get up, quickly tidied themselves up, and folded the quilt. By the time they rushed to the training ground, the instructor was already standing in front of the counselor's squad.

"So you have rebelled, have you?" He Hongxun shot a displeased glance at Yuan Shuai.

The design of the barracks accommodates eight individuals per room, which consists of four bunk beds. However, since the number of trainees does not perfectly align with multiples of eight, the last two individuals, Muko and Su Tianyin, enjoyed a privileged treatment akin to that of captives, as this room housed only the two of them

Despite having "rich" experience in standing military posture, Muko's physical condition was still unable to withstand the sudden intensity of the training. She slowly straightened her legs and said, "This is nothing but blind worship. Aside from their different professions, once they remove their insignia, hats, and uniforms, they are just men, living beings."

Muko replied "yes," lowered his head, and ran back to the line

Kang Bo suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, no wonder you chose to stay at the school..."

Yuan Shuai knew that He Hongxun was concerned about his image and influence, and did not want to mingle too closely with the trainees. Upon hearing Su Tianyin mention that the counselor would also participate, he naturally recalled the scene from that night when the camp leader led Mu Ke in running laps. With a shift in his thoughts, he encouraged, "Let's join in, Camp Leader. We won't be able to play fair with them, and besides, we won't be able to showcase the advantages of our army either." At the same time, he took the liberty of agreeing to Su Tianyin's statement that Instructor He would also participate.

... ...

Beautiful brown skin, deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and full lips combine to form a handsome face with distinct contours and strong lines. Coupled with a stern expression, he exudes a commanding military presence.

The new students undergoing training originally had sixteen classes, which were reorganized into ten squads during the mobilization meeting. Additionally, sixteen instructors, including Mu Ke, were both fortunate and unfortunate to be directly trained by He Hongxun. Of course, no one knew that the decision to train the instructors separately was a temporary adjustment.

Do you still know that I am the company commander
