Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home-Chapter 20 - 001 New recruit’s first day

20: 001 New recruit’s first day
Z Department, New Recruits Company.
The early morning sunlight burst forth at daybreak, causing the national flag to shine brightly.
In front of the solemn seven-story building, the expanse was vast and flat, and the soldiers on duty stood erect, their silhouettes as proud as the evergreen pines.
Accompanied by a pair of loud reveille bugle calls, all the dozing soldiers were startled awake.
Under the national flag, two men dressed in neat camouflage looked up at the women’s dormitory on the sixth floor, their eyes filled with confusion.
“Wu Yi, the regimental commander just called.
He said he received a confidential message from the superiors that a new girl sneaked in last night and we are to give her a good ‘education.’ Tell me, which family’s pampered princess is this?
Isn’t this like passing us a hot potato?” Hu Ba was the deputy commander of the New Recruits Company.
He wasn’t sure how tough he should be regarding the ‘education’ the superior officer mentioned.
The man called Wu Yi, with handsome features and a blade of foxtail grass in his mouth, sneered coldly, “Who cares which immortal she is, we need to discipline her until she’s completely obedient.
This is the military, not a daycare; if she’s not up to standard, it’s better to send her packing early.”
…
Upstairs, Gu Xiaoxi was awakened by the reveille.
She sat up with a start, still somewhat confused.
Was she still dreaming, or had she traveled through time in her sleep?
Where was Quan Shaoqing?
“You’re new here, right?
Get dressed quickly.
It’s time for assembly!” Gu Mengchen looked at the bewildered Gu Xiaoxi and kindly reminded her.
Gu Xiaoxi had a feeling something was amiss and was about to ask Gu Mengchen where she was, but the latter disappeared like a rabbit along with the other girls in the dormitory.
Camouflage uniforms!
Military whistle!
Wasn’t this the military?
She had woken up to find herself here…
Gu Xiaoxi reached out to touch her head, a bit perplexed, when suddenly she sprang from the bed like an indignant kitten.
“Where’s my hair?”
Her once gorgeous long black hair had been cut into a neat short style, which made her delicate little face look even younger and more vivacious.
But!
“Damn!” She was going to be an actress; she needed long hair!
Long hair…
“Quan Shaoqing!” her angry voice made the high-rise building tremble.
No wonder he had been so nice to her.
The weasel pays New Year’s respects to the chicken—no good intentions!
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the troops already assembled outside and narrowed her eyes, sneering coldly.
Did Quan Shaoqing think that by sending her to the army, she would be out of options?
Hmph!
She did not want to be a soldier.
In front of the national flag, Wu Yi looked over the assembled recruits.
His gaze fell on the women in the third row, “Who’s the new arrival, step forward and report!”
…
Dead silence!
“Where’s the new recruit?” Wu Yi shouted again.
Gu Mengchen stepped forward, “Reporting to the platoon leader, the new recruit hasn’t gotten up yet!”
A twitch crossed Hu Ba’s lips, just as he expected—a spoiled rich girl sent here, isn’t this just inviting trouble?
Wu Yi’s face turned to iron, and his wolf-like fierce eyes shifted to the sixth-floor dormitory.
“Squad leaders, take your teams for a ten-kilometer run!”
Afterward, as he watched the new recruits start their training, he turned and headed toward the sixth floor. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Gu Xiaoxi had just finished dressing up, having no choice but to don a set of military uniform she found by the bedside.
It fit her just right.
Because her ears were always sensitive, she became alert the moment someone reached the sixth floor.
After buttoning up the last button of the uniform, Gu Xiaoxi looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror and a sly, fox-like smile played across her eyes.
Wu Yi kicked open the door to the dormitory, expecting the new recruit inside to jump in fright, but instead, a bucket of cold water poured down from above the door, drenching him to the bone.
He saw the completely empty dormitory—no sign of any new recruits.
Not a soul from the dormitory to the bathroom.
The bathroom!
Wu Yi’s gaze immediately fell on the bathroom window, which was without any anti-theft bars, making it big enough for someone to squeeze through.
He quickly approached and knelt by the window to look down.
He saw a nimble female soldier clinging to the ledge of a window on the floor above, leaping down with kangaroo-like agility, her movements fluid and precise.
And then she landed steadily on the grass behind the dormitory building.
Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the man with his wet hair, her lips curling into a faint smile.
She pointed at his hair and mimicked a face-wiping gesture.
Her demeanor couldn’t have been more haughty or more infuriating.
“Sorry, I sleepwalked my way here last night.
I’ll be going now.
Bye!” Gu Xiaoxi waved at Wu Yi, then turned and quickly ran towards the hill behind her.
“Good!
Very good!
Indeed, a spoilt brat!” Wu Yi, his face livid with anger, his phoenix eyes emanating a cold brilliance.
He refused to believe that he couldn’t handle a little girl.
Gu Xiaoxi dashed into the woods, cursing Quan Shaoqing a hundred times in her heart.
Damn it, she had to escape this godforsaken place.
…
The Command Center of Division Z.
The man stood in front of the window in a military uniform, his demeanor dignified.
Before him lay the vast array of soldiers in rigorous training.
Lin Mi looked at Quan Shaoqing’s cold silhouette and quietly reminded him, “Superior officer, according to the tracker’s position, Miss Gu has left the new recruit company.”
Quan Shaoqing, with his hands in his pockets, casually lifted his attractive eyelids, turned around with a slightly wicked smile, devilish yet sinister.
“That’s good, that fits her character,” he said.
Lin Mi was confused, “But how are we to keep her here?
Do you mean…”
“How is the combat effectiveness of our new Special Forces unit?” Quan Shaoqing turned to sit on a luxurious and comfortable sofa, reaching for the teacup on the table, and spoke nonchalantly.
“Flame Special Forces have been training for three months, half of them already eliminated.
The remaining fifty members are the strongest elite sent from various units, and their performance indexes are very good,” Lin Mi reported.
“Where is Gu Xiaoxi now?”
“At high ground 1884, she’s running quite fast, covering over thirty kilometers in one hour,” Lin Mi said with some admiration.
Quan Shaoqing’s long, jade-like fingers tapped on the mahogany desk sporadically, his lips curling into a roguish smile, “Assign a mission to the Flame Army, high ground 1884, capture Gu Xiaoxi and safely send her back to the new recruit company.
If anyone gets injured or disabled by her, they’re directly eliminated!”
“This!” Lin Mi was startled, somewhat worried for Gu Xiaoxi.
“The Flame Special Forces are a bunch of fearless men.
Miss Gu…”
Gu Xiaoxi, delicate and weak, was a girl after all, and he feared she wouldn’t be able to withstand them.
But Quan Shaoqing just lightly sipped his tea, his bewitching features making his entire appearance seem both sinister and enchanting.
“Go!
She won’t be harmed.”
Seeing Quan Shaoqing’s confident tone, Lin Mi obediently turned to arrange the orders.
“Yes!”
