I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

"No, aren't those Captain Qin and Captain Liu?"

Wu Hanfeng sat on the hospital bed and looked to the side following the gazes of the others. The smile on his face immediately turned strange.

On the right side, Qin Gang and Liu Zhen each had a bed, lying perfectly straight.

Qin Gang's eyes were tightly closed, his brows furrowed, and even though he was dizzy, his face still carried an air of unapproachable authority.

Liu Zhen wasn't so dignified.

Half of his blanket had fallen to the ground, one foot was sticking out, his mouth was slightly open, and he was sniffling from time to time. It was unclear what he was dreaming about.

Two bottles of glucose were hanging above each of their beds.

The clear liquid dripped down the IV tube, drop by drop.

The scene looked peaceful no matter how you looked at it.

Wu Hanfeng paused for two seconds, then turned to look at Zhao Yihang and the others: "Why are those two here too?"

Zhao Yihang leaned against the headboard, his expression quite interesting.

"Brother Feng, you might not believe it if I told you."

"They probably got carried away by your pursuit."

"Although we didn't see it, that's what the nurse meant."

Wu Hanfeng: "..."

The ward was silent for a second.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of Wu Hanfeng's mouth began to curl upwards uncontrollably.

"Chase me?"

"Did you get knocked out?"

Qian Kun nodded seriously: "The medic said that as soon as you fell, the other two fell right after you. Captain Qin fell first, and Captain Liu tried to help him up, but he also fainted. In the end, the two of them were piled on top of each other, almost like bunk beds."

Ma Teng added, "Later, it was the disciplinary inspector and Captain Han who carried him back. I heard it was quite a scene along the way, and many people saw it."

"cough!"

A weak, dry cough suddenly came from the corner.

Everyone turned to look.

Hao Qiang was lying on the innermost bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

There was no anger, no sadness, and no relief at surviving a disaster in his eyes.

There is only one kind of peace that comes from seeing through the illusions of the world.

Wu Hanfeng greeted him cheerfully, "Xiaoqiang, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

Hao Qiang remained silent.

He simply turned his eyes slowly and glanced at Wu Hanfeng with an extremely complex look.

It took him a good five or six seconds to finally manage to squeeze out a sentence.

"It feels great."

Wu Hanfeng nodded slightly: "That's good. Judging from your appearance, you should be alright."

"Is everything alright?"

Hao Qiang said expressionlessly, "I feel like I'm already dead, and now it's my soul talking to you."

Zhao Yihang and the others immediately burst into laughter.

"Brother Qiang, why haven't you recovered yet?" Qian Kun laughed. "You were the first person in our elite class to achieve a breakthrough, the number one contributor!"

"A meritorious official?"

Hao Qiang's lips twitched slightly.

"You guys got dizzy on your own, but I was forced to exercise by you guys and I literally got dizzy from all the running!"

"You have broken through the limits of your physical body."

"I broke through their psychological defenses!"

"From the eighth kilometer onwards, I told you I wasn't going to run anymore. Did you listen?"

"Zhao Yihang held my left arm, Qian Kun held my right arm, Ma Teng pushed from behind, and Sun Dawei almost tore my belt off!"

"For the last five kilometers, my toes touched the ground less than 500 times; the soles of my shoes were practically burning from the friction on the track!"

"Is this what you call running?"

"This is called an emergency human-shaped supply transfer!"

Zhao Yihang corrected him with a serious expression: "Brother Qiang, you can't say that. Your legs have been moving the whole time, so strictly speaking, you were still involved in running."

"I was trying to brake!"

Hao Qiang almost jumped out of bed.

Unfortunately, I was too weak to lift my head more than halfway before it fell heavily back onto the pillow.

"I'm kicking my legs back to make you stop!"

"But you guys thought I still had energy, and you were all getting more and more excited!"

"Ma Teng was still shouting from behind, saying, 'I'm starting to sprint!'"

"Who sprints with their heels pointing forward?!"

Ma Teng touched his nose: "The situation was quite chaotic at the time, and I didn't see clearly."

"You shouted without even seeing clearly!"

Hao Qiang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes even reddened.

"I didn't cry when I ran 5 kilometers in under 17 minutes, I didn't cry when I strained my leg, and I didn't cry when you, Wu Hanfeng, chased me halfway through the camp and tried to extort money from me while I was ordering takeout!"

"You guys almost made me cry today!"

After listening, Wu Hanfeng felt no remorse whatsoever; instead, he nodded with a look of satisfaction.

"good."

"This shows that the team spirit of our elite class has been initially formed."

"One person wanted to give up, but five people firmly disagreed."

"If one person falls behind, all five of us will drag them back."

"What is this?"

"This is camaraderie forged in battle!"

Hao Qiang stared at him blankly.

Wu Hanfeng.

"Um?"

"I'm not feeling well right now, can you just stick your face out to me?"

"What are you doing?"

I want to bite you.

"Look at you, so energetic even after just waking up," Wu Hanfeng said with a smile. "This further proves that the limit breakthrough was effective. You never dared to talk to me like this before!"

Hao Qiang was taken aback.

It seems that's true.

In the past, whenever he saw Wu Hanfeng, his first reaction was to keep his distance.

If you can keep five meters apart, never three meters apart; if you can separate by a wall, never stand in the same corridor.

Especially after that incident with the takeout, he felt that Wu Hanfeng might faint at any moment whenever he saw him.

But now?

The two of them were taken to the medical team's ward together.

The worst has happened.

What else is so scary?

Thinking of this, Hao Qiang's despair deepened.

He used to be afraid of Wu Hanfeng because he was afraid that Wu Hanfeng would chase after him, then suddenly faint and try to extort money from him.

Only now does he realize that his perspective was too narrow before.

Wu Hanfeng had no intention of extorting him.

Wu Hanfeng was planning to make him faint too!

"Xiaoqiang, why aren't you saying anything?" Wu Hanfeng asked with concern.

"It's nothing."

Hao Qiang looked up at the ceiling again, his voice carrying a calmness that came from a complete detachment from life.

"I suddenly realized something."

"What is it?"

"Ever since I ordered takeout last time, I've been thinking about how to avoid you."

"I avoid you when I take a bus, I avoid you when I stay at a hotel, I avoid you when I eat, and I even avoid you during training."

"The first thing I do every morning when I open my eyes is to check how far away you are from me."

"After hiding for so long, I still ended up sharing a hospital room with you."

Hao Qiang slowly exhaled.

"I accept my fate."

"I won't hide anymore."

Wu Hanfeng's eyes lit up: "That's right! We're all comrades from the same regiment, why are we hiding? From now on, we'll go to any training together!"

Hao Qiang closed his eyes.

"I said I wouldn't hide because I realized hiding was pointless."

"It's not because I want to go with you."

"They're all the same."

"no the same!"

"The results are about the same."

"Much worse!"

"Look at you, you even have so much energy when you speak now," Wu Hanfeng exclaimed. "Indeed, pushing your limits appropriately can be very helpful for one's energy and spirit."

Hao Qiang fell silent.

He was afraid that if he continued talking, the glucose he had just replenished would be completely destroyed by anger.
