Part Three Chapter 56: Pursuit Thirteen

sages. She didn't believe that he wouldn't contact her today, so after finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, she absentmindedly went back to her room and stared at her phone.Outside, Lu Kuo accompanied...Chen Ling looked doubtful. At this moment, she saw two colleagues from another group finally climb to the fifth floor, but their feet trembled and they screamed as they fell down.

Well, the chances of failure are pretty high.

She wobbled her way to the nearby slide and slid down. Meanwhile, Song Jingye was still rappelling straight down using a safety rope, his movements were quick and efficient, cool and handsome, landing before she did.

He hasn't been here many times these days, but every time he comes, he becomes the center of attention. Just now, his smooth and graceful landing drew gasps of amazement, even Chen Ling was a little dumbfounded.

Instructor Zhang shouted, "Everyone focus your attention! Whoever daydreams again will run ten laps around the field."

Everyone quickly withdrew their gaze, and Chen Linghui also silently rose to his feet and stood beside him.

They train physical fitness every morning and projects in the afternoon. Because each student's physical condition is different, their proficiency levels also vary. Some have reached the top, while others are still fighting on the third or fourth floor. This project is estimated to continue training for several more days.

After evening training, I went to the cafeteria for dinner. Several colleagues were so tired they could barely stand straight, especially where the safety ropes had been tied around them, their bodies bruised and battered. It was heartbreaking to see. In the cafeteria, I even avoided Song Jingye at all costs, afraid that if I said the wrong thing, I'd be punished.

Only Xu Haocheng wasn't afraid of Song Jingye. Every mealtime, he would carry his plate and sit with Song Jingye. Chen Ling followed Xu Haocheng privately, never leaving his side. Wherever Xu Haocheng sat, she would sit there too.

Now, there's also Tao Kaiyan. She's been working with Xu Haichen these past few days, after all, they are from the same school. The three of them are closer than with other colleagues.

Song Jingye sat across from them, a touch softer than he was on the training ground, silent...

Listened as they chatted.

Tao Kaiyan's physical stamina is weak. After training all day, her legs are still trembling now. She said, "This morning, we weighed ourselves, and the four girls in our dormitory have all lost several kilograms. Ning Hui lost the most."

Tao Kaiyan was a little envious, that person's vest line had come out.

Chen Ling replied, "I usually eat a lot, but I've eaten less these past two days and my training volume has been high."

After finishing, he saw that Tao Kaiyan had a bruise on her arm that was visible outside, and said: "Wait until we get back to the dormitory, I'll put medicine on it for you. The medicine Xu Haichen gave me yesterday works really well."

"Okay, thank you."

Xú Hǎochén asked: "Is your shoulder injury better now"

Chen Ning rubbed her right shoulder and turned it: "It's almost alright, just a little sore."

Song Jingye, who had been sitting opposite her without speaking, looked up and asked, "Are you hurt"

"Just a minor scratch, nothing serious," she said nonchalantly.

Song Jingye's voice was slightly harsh: "Why didn't you report the injury immediately You came here for training, and we have the obligation to ensure your safety. If it becomes a serious injury, who is responsible"

this

Chen Ning thought to herself secretly, it was just an accidental bump, a little bruise, there was no need to report it specially.

But seeing Song Jingye seemed to think it was a serious injury, she didn't feel comfortable contradicting him. She simply said, "Understood, Instructor Song."

"If you're injured, go to the infirmary, don't use any random medicine, it could worsen your injury. Eat this quickly, then I'll take you to the infirmary."

He looked serious and intent. Chen Ling felt embarrassed to contradict him in public, so she could only nod silently.

Xu Haichen, standing beside him, opened his mouth as if to speak, but then closed it again. His medicine wasn't some random concoction; it was ...

To come to training camp, the mother who works in the hospital specially prepared it for him.

After dinner, it was almost dark.

Song Jingye asked Instructor Zhang to ask everyone if they needed any medicine. He was going to take Chen Ling back to get his injuries checked and would bring medicine for everyone else as well.

"Zhang Jiao was very honest. After asking each student one by one, they all said there was nothing they needed to bring, except: “Is Chen Ling’s injury very serious”

Absolutely not discernible.

Song Jingye ignored him and walked straight out with Chen Ling.

When they were out of sight, Chen Ling mustered her courage and said to him, "Uncle, I only bumped my head a little bit."

"Shut up and get in the car." By now, they were standing beside his Jeep, parked outside the training facility.

Chen Ling didn't dare disobey and got into the car obediently, but, did they need to drive to the medical room

The result was not going to the infirmary, but driving straight into town.

Chen Ning said helplessly, "I just have a minor injury. There's no need to go to the hospital in town."

She was afraid he would misunderstand that she was seriously injured and making such a fuss, even if she were truly hurt, she wouldn't want to be treated differently.

Song Jingye: "I know."

Does he know

Then why take her to the hospital in town

Recalling that he'd been coming and going from the base on the west side of the training ground these past few days, could it be that there was a special mission for her to carry out

She immediately sat up straight and asked seriously, "Is there anything I can do"

She was overthinking it. They were from different units, and if they really needed her to do something, she would have to report it to her superiors.

One code belongs to one code, for life matters, she would go through fire and water for him, but at work, she must follow the procedures.

"What do you think I need you to do" Song Jingye found her like this, and couldn't help but laugh. How silly.

Where did all your work smarts go

Chen Ning didn't speak, racking her brains trying to figure out what he could possibly ask of her These leaders always spoke in riddles and their actions were no different. You had to guess.

Song Jingye was driving, heading from the suburbs back into the city. It was similar to his drive back after the last banquet, but his mood was different.

Last time I was bothered, this time I'm in a good mood and I don't mind seeing her anymore.

After driving for almost an hour, Song Jingye parked the car in a parking lot outside a restaurant. Chen Ling looked up and saw it was the same restaurant as their class monitor's!

At this time, the restaurant was at its busiest. As soon as the two entered, they drew attention. Song Jingye was dressed entirely in black today: a black t-shirt, black military pants, and black leather boots. Chen Ling, on the other hand, wore army green: an army green t-shirt, camouflage pants, and also black leather boots.

At a glance, one can tell they came from the military. Their build and temperament are quite different. The man is tall and strong, while the woman has a slender and compact figure.

The monitor saw them from afar, "Team Song, Xiao Ning is back, this way."

The monitor beckoned them into a small private room at the innermost part, which was where the monitor kept for receiving distinguished guests: "The dishes are all ready and will be served soon. Please make yourselves comfortable. I have to get back to work."

He was too familiar, the class monitor didn't hesitate either. After speaking, he turned and left.

Chen Ling was lost in thought, they had just finished eating at the training base.

"Aren't you thin enough I brought you here to improve your diet." he said casually.

"I was just kidding."

The waiter soon came over with a trolley laden with dishes, featuring various meats, rice, and soup.

Chen Ning wasn't hungry, but she was tempted by the food. After all, the food in the army was just edible and not delicious.

Good

A few bowls of soup, small and dainty, were placed before her. She wanted to try each one, but knowing she couldn't finish them all, she only took two for herself, pushing the remaining three untouched towards Song Jingye.s she had expected, within her grasp and she should be able to do well.The day after the exam, it's the weekend, and both parents are at home resting.Dad is making breakfast, and Mom is tidying up in...
