63: 033 The Transformation of the Little Pervert
Gu Xiaoxi turned her head and, using her peripheral vision, caught sight of Yan Xiao beside her, which gave her a headache!
Why had she become such a thorn in someone else’s side?
This Shao Changfeng was such a big trouble; she needed to clarify things soon.
Otherwise, the companionship of comrades would only intensify!
On the training ground, the midday sun scorched the earth and baked a group of recruits, sweat pouring off everyone, soaking through their clothes.
“Report!
Zhang Can has fainted!”
“Report!
Sun Linxin has fainted!”
…
One by one, people collapsed and were taken to the infirmary.
Those who remained were the elites who could endure hardship.
Three hours later, everyone was utterly exhausted.
Yan Xiao, beside Gu Xiaoxi, had even paler lips and uneven breathing, but she still bit her lip and persevered.
By five o’clock in the afternoon, those who had fainted gradually returned to the ranks.
Yuan Shang gave everyone a sly smile, “Now it begins, the final five-kilometer weight-carrying run.
You can eat only after you finish.
Also, let me tell you, there’s no dinner after 6:30.
This is the most important moment to train your endurance, as long as you haven’t fainted, grit your teeth and rush to the finish line.
On the battlefield, the country does not need useless people.
And the army, even more so, does not need soldiers who don’t qualify to enter the battlefield…”
Gu Xiaoxi looked at Yuan Shang, stood up straight, and puffed out her chest.
Although this type of training was a piece of cake for her, the depletion of Physical Strength was truly extraordinary.
She had been sweating continuously since noon without a single drop of water to drink.
At this point, everyone was already so tired they could barely stand, and the final weighted run felt like it demanded their life.
Gu Xiaoxi felt her hair soaked with sweat, the harsh sun turning her fair skin red.
Her face looked like a ripe, red apple.
Following Yuan Shang’s command, everyone began to run around the 400-meter track.
12.5 laps were mercilessly tough for the average female soldier but for the sake of dinner, everyone gave it their all.
As Gu Xiaoxi ran, she looked up at the gradually setting sun, took a deep breath, turned to Yan Xiao beside her, and said seriously, “Do you need help?”
This was the first time she spoke to someone she didn’t like.
More accurately, this was the first time she felt she should get along well with people around her, not needing to face her comrades with such an aggressive stance.
Because, no matter what, these people beside her were not the real enemy!
She would never forget Number Seventeen, so she would also try to communicate with her comrades.
Watching the battle that night made her understand that if one cannot merge into a group, one cannot be a good soldier.
Moreover, she knew that a single person’s strength was like a chopstick, which could easily break.
But if a bunch of chopsticks were tied together, it was different…
“Quit your crocodile tears!” Despite carrying her pack and running slowly, Yan Xiao’s face was especially pale, but her look at Gu Xiaoxi was as hateful as ever, and unmistakably so!
“Yan Xiao, you’re the mouse, and our Xiao Xi is not a cat.
She’s a tiger!
We’re all in the same squad, and Xiao Xi just wants to help you.
What’s with the way you’re speaking!” Mei Su immediately became angry, her eyes wide as she caught up with Yan Xiao and began to defend Gu Xiaoxi.
“I know you all stick together, but this is the training ground.
Do you still want to bully me here?” Yan Xiao kept running, flicking off sweat.
Even if it killed her, she didn’t need Gu Xiaoxi’s help.
She had joined the army because of Shao Changfeng and found it even harder to accept how close Gu Xiaoxi and Shao Changfeng were.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled lightly and was not offended, “Fine!
It’s best that you don’t need anyone’s help, work hard to prove yourself!” As she spoke, she just happened to see Zhang Xia fall heavily nearby.
She immediately ran over and helped Zhang Xia up, “Can you still run?”
Zhang Xia looked at Gu Xiaoxi with surprise, quickly withdrew her hand from Gu Xiaoxi’s grasp, and said with a bit of shock, “Thank you.
I can do it!”
She had always been timid and her physical strength was average; ever since the first meeting when Gu Xiaoxi had shown Yan Xiao her place.
Since then, she had quietly tried to lessen her own presence.
Because later on, she realized that the gap between her and Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t small; it was as vast as the difference between the heavens and the earth.
Therefore, she felt an indescribable sense of inferiority in front of Gu Xiaoxi.
“Then let’s go!” Gu Xiaoxi resumed her usual demeanor, jogging slowly towards the finish line with the same stride as everyone else.
Mei Su and Qin Chu both followed beside Gu Xiaoxi, expressing their incomprehension of her behavior!
“Xiao Xi, why do I feel like you’ve suddenly changed!” Qin Chu glanced at Gu Xiaoxi from head to toe, adjusting his breath while searching for what exactly had changed about Gu Xiaoxi.
Compared to the Gu Xiaoxi of the past, at this moment, she seemed more grounded, radiant, and vibrant.
Despite still looking the same on the outside, when she spoke to the two fellow soldiers with whom she had the worst relationship, and even received a cold response…
She didn’t get angry!
Even though it seemed like a loss of face on the surface, they could feel from Gu Xiaoxi’s very core, a sense of self-respect and unique charm that actually commanded more respect.
“I’m still me!
What has changed?” Gu Xiaoxi followed the team in a light jog.
Qin Chu sighed quietly, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the track in the distance, clearly without an answer.
“Qin Chu, don’t talk nonsense.
Xiao Xi hasn’t changed at all!
She’s still the same oddball.
I’m just curious, knowing that you and Yan Xiao had issues, why did you still talk to her?” Mei Su was actually the one who couldn’t let it go.
She believed that people should respect each other.
Gu Xiaoxi had obviously been caring for a fellow soldier, only to be reprimanded by Yan Xiao.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled lightly, her rosy cheeks looking even prettier than before, “You’ll understand later.
It’s not a big deal!
Right now, we must encourage each other and run together to the finish line.
I don’t want to miss dinner because it’s past six-thirty.”
With that, Gu Xiaoxi turned to assist Zhou Yue, who had fallen behind to almost the very end and had nearly come to a stop.
Mei Su and Qin Chu exchanged glances, both wearing puzzled expressions, “What pill did this guy take?
She fell last time but didn’t hit her head, right?
Why is she suddenly playing the good Samaritan?
She should be using her real skill to finish the 12.5 laps easily and then sit at the finish line, eating dinner and watching us run!
That’s the real Gu Xiaoxi, right?”
Qin Chu agreed with Mei Su’s opinion, “That’s why I said she had changed!
I suspect her head got smashed by a car door to bother with that Yan Xiao voluntarily!”
In their minds, Gu Xiaoxi was the type who would reciprocate good with good, and bad with…
well, let’s just say she considered you as dirt.
Her sudden gesture of goodwill to whom she considered “dirt” in her eyes was indeed baffling!
