I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

While gnawing on a rib, Wu Hanfeng replied, "I was just doing normal training."

"Normal training?!"

Liu Yang and Zhou Haibo asked the same question in unison.

Zhou Haibo was so angry with Wu Hanfeng that he said, "You usually run five kilometers in 24 and a half minutes. This data has always been stable, more stable than your height."

"He suddenly went crazy today, accelerating from the third lap, overtaking everyone, and then ran until he passed out."

"You call this normal training?"

"If you weren't a patient, do you believe I'd take off my shoe right now and slap you across the face?"

Wu Hanfeng took a sip of soup, wiped his greasy mouth with a tissue, and looked at Zhou Haibo.

He said with an innocent look, "I was just trying to see if I could run faster."

Zhou Haibo was furious. "Try it if you want, but take it easy! Do you want to see your great-grandmother, or go on a pilgrimage to the West?"

Liu Yang was also annoyed and chimed in, "Yeah, veteran, take it easy."

"Besides, we're all used to how you are. We might scold you, but we don't really dislike you."

"The way you acted this morning really scared us."

At this moment, Wu Hanfeng feigned grievance and said, "Don't you all say every day that I'm not ambitious enough?"

"Now that I'm motivated and training hard, you guys are unhappy again. You're so hard to please."

Zhou Haibo and Liu Yang were already used to Wu Hanfeng's distortion of the truth, but they were still furious.

Zhou Haibo was taken aback. "I...I...I asked you to work hard, not to risk your life."

Wu Hanfeng: "If I hadn't been running for my life, would you have seen my efforts? Your dog eyes have never seen other people's efforts."

Zhou Haibo: "Come on, do you think I don't know what your flat feet look like? You've already reached your limit by running 24 and a half minutes."

"Don't mess around like that again."

Wu Hanfeng does indeed have flat feet, and he has nothing to say about that.

Suddenly, he remembered something and said smugly, "Oh right, I had a dream while I was unconscious."

Liu Yang: "What dream?"

Wu Hanfeng: "I dreamt that I was my great-grandmother."

Zhou Haibo: "Anything else?"

Wu Hanfeng: "I also heard someone shouting behind me, but the voice was far away and I couldn't hear it very clearly."

"It seems so. Old Wu, get up right now. If anything happens to you, I'll never forgive you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Haibo and Liu Yang exchanged a tense glance.

Could Wu Hanfeng have overheard what the two of them said in the hospital room?

"It seemed to be quiet for a while, then the sound started again."

"It's like saying: 'Once you wake up, I'll never scold you again. You can train if you want, or just lie in bed on the training field if you don't.'"

"There was another voice saying they would buy me cigarettes and steal the company commander's tea leaves."

Feeling guilty, Zhou Haibo quickly interrupted Wu Hanfeng, "Hallucination!"

"The doctor said this is a sensation caused by oxygen deficiency, specifically hyperventilation leading to brain hypoxia, which in turn causes hallucinations!"

Liu Yang, feeling guilty, said, "Yes! It's an illusion!"

"I didn't say anything!"

Wu Hanfeng stared at the two men with a half-smile, making them feel uneasy.

"Oh? You didn't say anything, so that means Squad Leader Zhou said it?"

Zhou Haibo: "I didn't say anything!"

Wu Hanfeng: Oh, then it seems I misheard. But I remember someone was crying and sobbing, like a widow wailing at a funeral.

Liu Yang: "I didn't cry! I just got hoarse from shouting slogans during training."

Zhou Haibo also became anxious, "Old Wu, you can't talk nonsense!"

"How could I, Zhou Haibo, a dignified second-term sergeant and a backbone officer who has led new recruits many times, possibly say something as absurd as 'training whenever you want'?"

"This is a serious violation of discipline!"

Wu Hanfeng retorted, "Then what did you say?"

Zhou Haibo: "I...I meant...that you wake up quickly so as not to delay training!"

Liu Yang: "Yes, we were talking about how to arrange your training going forward!"

"Oh?" Wu Hanfeng scratched his head, feigning confusion, and continued, "How come I remember you guys saying that?"

Liu Yang: "That's just your imagination. You've seen your grandma, what can't you imagine?"

Wu Hanfeng was about to continue teasing them when the ward door was suddenly opened.

Lin Xiao brought in two large black plastic bags.

He placed the plastic bag at the foot of the bed and then opened it.

While taking things out of the room, he said, "Brother Feng, you're awake?"

"I came over right after my shift ended. I was so worried when you were brought here."

"How are you feeling right now? Are you dizzy? How's your breathing?"

"You seem to have trouble breathing, I'll give you oxygen."

Wu Hanfeng smiled and said dismissively, "It's nothing, I'm completely healed now."

"I just went for a run, it wasn't as terrible as you guys are making it out to be."

Lin Xiao: "Brother Feng, you call that running a little? We all know your five-kilometer time!"

"You must have been pushing yourself to the limit to make yourself dizzy."

As he spoke, he had already taken the contents out of the first plastic bag.

A box of cantaloupe cut into small pieces, a whole peeled pomelo, a box of washed strawberries, two trays of yogurt, and two bottles of sports drinks.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and a can of Tieguanyin tea from another plastic bag.

This combination looks very familiar.

Wu Hanfeng asked, "Xiao Lin, did you also buy these cigarettes and tea?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "This is Li Pengfei from the disciplinary team this morning. He and He Dong came to the sanitation team to buy medicine. I gave them a discount and took good care of them. They insisted on giving it to me."

"I didn't originally want this, I don't like these things, but thinking of Brother Feng, you might like it."

"So, I'll accept it and give it to you."

"I'm just passing on your kindness, here to help the disciplinary team come see you."

Wu Hanfeng knew Lin Xiao well and guessed where the cigarettes and alcohol came from.

I guess those two scouts from the disciplinary team were gloating when they saw me faint, and Lin Xiao took care of them.

He smiled and said, "Lin Xiao, you're so thoughtful."

"You said you'd come, so why bring so much stuff?"

"Look, this patient food and fruit were given to me by Wang Erniu."

"You two really have a conscience."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Haibo and Liu Yang, then his gaze shifted downwards to their empty hands.

He said, "We've all served in the military for several years, so how come there's such a big difference between people?"

These words immediately made Zhou Haibo and Liu Yang feel ashamed.

I'm really sorry to have come empty-handed.

What the two of them did this time was truly disgraceful.

The soldier in the next bed turned his face away, no longer looking at Wu Hanfeng and the others.

It's too heartbreaking.

Why is there such a big difference in treatment between soldiers? They're all in the same army.

We're all experiencing life for the first time, so how come some people are so popular?

Jealousy, helplessness, I guess I'll just have to keep drinking plain porridge.
