Su Yang saw Chen Guotao's expression and knew that he now knew about his illness.

With a sigh, Su Yang stood up and walked towards Chen Guotao.

"Platoon leader..."

Su Yang called out as he walked up to Chen Guotao.

"ah.."

Chen Guotao exclaimed "Ah!" and hurriedly folded the examination report and stuffed it into his pocket.

"How about it?"

Su Yang asked.

Chen Guotao forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just a minor ailment."

"Platoon leader, you're not good at lying..."

Su Yangdao.

Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Chen Guotao's expression froze.

He was silent for a few seconds, then took the examination report out of his pocket and said, "Ankylosing spondylitis."

He finished speaking and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the wry smile on Chen Guotao's face, Su Yang comforted him, "It's alright, Platoon Leader. If this disease is detected early, it can be alleviated."

"But...but I can't be a special forces soldier anymore."

Chen Guotao smiled wryly.

After saying those words, Chen Guotao's eyes were already a little red.

Chen Guotao, who had endured thousands of days of intense training without shedding a tear, was now in tears.

Becoming a special forces soldier was his goal, and he made countless efforts to achieve it.

But in the end, this disease completely cut off that path.

At that moment, he felt that he had lost his direction and had no future goals.

Seeing Chen Guotao crying, Su Yang could only reach out and pat Chen Guotao's shoulder to comfort him.

for a long time..

Chen Guotao's mood improved somewhat. He wiped away his tears and smiled, "It's alright now. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Su Yang owes a lot to you. If it weren't for you, and the disease had been discovered late, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up for the rest of his life."

"Haha, then the platoon leader will treat me to dinner later, a good meal."

Su Yang smiled.

After hearing this, Chen Guotao laughed and said, "Okay, let's go now. Order whatever you want to eat."

The two then left the hospital together.

.......

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Yang and Chen Guotao returned to their unit.

Back at the company, the two first went to the company commander's office to ask Miao Lian to cancel his leave.

When they returned from leave, Miao Lian asked the two how their investigation was going. Chen Guotao originally wanted to keep it a secret, but Su Yang, who was next to him, spoke up first.

Miao Lian's expression changed when she heard Su Yang say that Chen Guotao suffered from ankylosing spondylitis.

He stood up from his chair, his face grim.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but then saw that Su Yang was still beside him, so he told Su Yang to leave first.

After hearing this, Su Yang saluted and left the company commander's office.

After leaving the office, Su Yang closed the door, intending to return to his classroom.

However, as soon as I closed the door and turned around, I saw Zhuang Yan walking towards me with a few sheets of paper in his hand.

Zhuang Yan also saw Su Yang at this moment.

He paused slightly, looking at Su Yang with a complex expression in his eyes.

The two met on the train, were in the same platoon during basic training, and stayed together after leaving the company. However, their relationship was actually quite complicated.

Zhuang Yan was a notorious troublemaker in the entire regiment, while Su Yang was a well-known good soldier.

The two comparisons led Zhuang Yan to regard Su Yang as his rival.

As his rival, Zhuang Yan naturally wouldn't chat and laugh with Su Yang.

He stood there for a few seconds, then pretended not to see Su Yang and continued walking towards the office.

Su Yang didn't greet Zhuang Yan either.

The two passed each other.

After passing by Su Yang, Zhuang Yan walked to the office door.

He reached out to knock on the door, but just then he heard voices coming from inside the office.

"Don't worry about the company; go to the hospital for treatment first..."

"I understand, Company Commander, but... the annual Red-Blue Exercise is about to begin, so how about I go to the hospital after the exercise?"

"What are you saying! Can this matter be delayed any longer!"

"Listen to me! Go to the hospital tomorrow!"

...

Hearing the conversation inside, Zhuang Yan's expression changed.

During his time in the company, Chen Guotao had been very kind to him. Now that he heard that Chen Guotao was going to the hospital, how could he not be worried?

Just as I reached out to open the door, I heard voices coming from inside again.

"Company Commander, actually... I'm still a little worried about Zhuang Yan. He's a good soldier, but he needs more training..."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. I'll take care of Zhuang Yan. I'm sure I can train him into a good soldier and make him a real soldier."

"Understood, Company Commander."

Zhuang Yan stood there, stunned, listening to their conversation.

Am I a good soldier?

To become a real soldier?

.........

the next day..

Chen Guotao went to the hospital for treatment.

With no platoon leader in sight, Miao Lian temporarily appointed Zheng Sanpao as acting platoon leader.

The daily training continued as before.

They're training like crazy every day, preparing for the upcoming red-blue team exercise.

Early April...

Su Yang, who was training on the parade ground that day, was called to the company commander's office.

When Su Yang arrived at the office, he saw that in addition to Miao Lian, there was a major, two policemen, and a woman inside.

The woman was the same one Su Yang and Chen Guotao had encountered jumping into the river during their outing.

Upon seeing Su Yang enter, the woman immediately pointed at him excitedly and exclaimed, "Yes...it's him...it's him!"

After saying that, the woman walked quickly to Su Yang, then her knees buckled and she was about to kneel down.

"Hey..."

Everyone's expression changed, and they hurriedly tried to stop the woman.

However, Su Yang took the initiative and reached out to support the woman, saying, "Don't do this. Anyone would have jumped into the river to save someone in that situation."

The woman cried, "Thank you... If it weren't for you and that comrade, my daughter and I would really be dead. I was just confused at the time..."

Su Yang hurriedly comforted him.

While comforting her, Su Yang gave Miao Lian a meaningful look.

Miao Lian stood there happily.

His own soldiers went out and rescued the people; this was a great thing, and it brought him honor.

At this moment, the major next to him quickly walked over, reached out and helped Su Yang pull the woman up, then smiled and said, "People say that the army and the people are one family. It is only our duty as the People's Liberation Army to protect the lives and safety of the people."

"Ah...yes...that's how it is..."

Su Yang nodded hurriedly.
