The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Shen Yan wasted almost no time.

In my free time, I do running, push-ups, pull-ups, and core training.

He constantly flipped through his medical books during class.

Medical courses cannot be neglected, and physical training must not be stopped!

At first, Zhao Peng would complain a bit, but later he became completely numb to it.

Because he discovered that Shen Yan's efforts were not in the ordinary sense.

It's like we owed millions to learning and training in our past lives!

I get up at six in the morning to go for a run.

During class this morning, I didn't even touch my phone; I was completely focused on turning the pages of my book!

Before lunch, I can go to the playground for extra practice, and in the evening I can go back to the dormitory to continue reading.

Other people's college life consists of attending classes, eating, playing games, dating, and sleeping.

Shen Yan's university life consisted of attending classes, training, reading, and more training!

Zhao Peng was exhausted from watching, and also felt uncomfortable being caught up in the drama.

We're all top-tier 985 university undergraduates, so why are you so competitive?

"Shen Yan, tell me the truth."

"Are you planning to train yourself to be a squad leader before enlisting?"

Shen Yan is doing push-ups.

The movements were precise and the rhythm was quite stable.

Hearing Zhao Peng's words, he didn't interrupt his rhythm at all, and simply replied with a faint sentence.

"Becoming class monitor? That's a long way off!"

Zhao Peng: "..."

Is it still early?

Is this what you call "still early"?

He looked at the increasingly defined muscles on Shen Yan's back and arms, and he felt terrible.

When school started, Shen Yan wasn't exactly thin, but he had the typical build of a medical student.

But after a month of training, Shen Yan has completely changed!

With broader shoulders and a straighter back, one's overall energy and spirit are completely different!

Wearing a regular short-sleeved shirt, her arm lines are exposed, making her look less like a medical student and more like someone who sneaked in from a sports academy.

of course.

This is not the most outrageous.

The most outrageous thing is that Shen Yan didn't fall behind in his studies at all while practicing.

anatomy.

Histology and embryology.

Physiology.

Fundamentals of Diagnostics.

……

Shen Yan has basically reviewed all the knowledge he learned during his undergraduate studies!

Zhao Peng sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Shen Yan had really learned everything.

As it turned out, Shen Yan was actually able to explain every single point of knowledge to him!

That's infuriating!

You can say he's good at sports, but he's better at studying than you!

You say he's a medical student? He runs the 5,000 meters faster than any sports student!

I'm almost at the level of a second-level athlete these past few days!

Zhao Peng finally came to a conclusion.

This person isn't going to join the army; this person is purely there to create anxiety for ordinary people like them!

……

Finally, the day for the conscription physical examination arrived.

A conscription physical examination center in a district of Shanghai.

Early in the morning, students from several universities who had signed up for military service were all brought here.

Some were from Fudan University, some from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, some from normal universities...

At first glance, it was filled with young men.

Among this group of people, some looked excited, some looked nervous, and some looked sleepy, clearly having not slept well the night before.

"I heard they're very strict about vision checks."

"My right eye seems a bit risky; I might not pass!"

"My blood pressure spikes when I'm stressed, what should I do?"

"If I fail the medical exam, does that mean I don't need to go?"

"What do you mean, kid? Do you want to go or not?"

"My family sent me here, I didn't know."

……

Shen Yan stood calmly in the crowd.

Physical examinations can be nerve-wracking for most people.

It was something he knew all too well.

In his previous life, he had reviewed countless medical reports for patients.

It's a bit novel that it's his turn to get a medical check-up now.

Not long after, the staff began calling out numbers.

"First group, go in!"

"Hold your things safe, don't wander around, and put your phones away!"

A group of students walked in following the procedure.

First, measure your height and weight.

Have your vision checked again.

Then blood, urine, and electrocardiogram were performed.

……

The process was quick, and Shen Yan proceeded smoothly.

There is no problem.

Vision is acceptable, blood pressure is normal, electrocardiogram is normal, and height and weight are also within the normal range.

The doctor in charge of registration glanced at him and nodded.

"You're in good shape. Do you train regularly?"

Shen Yan said, "I've been practicing a lot lately."

The doctor smiled.

"Keep it up! With this physical condition, you'll adapt to the military much faster!"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Thank you, doctor."

The physical examination will continue.

Soon, it was time for the surgical examination.

A group of registered students took off their clothes as required.

At first, everyone was a little embarrassed.

After all, it was a bit awkward to have a room full of naked men lining up.

But as soon as Shen Yan took off his clothes, the eyes of several people around him immediately swept over.

"Wow, that's incredibly talented!"

Shen Yan looked down at himself, then glanced around and chuckled.

"There's nothing I can do about it, I'm just naturally talented."

……

The surgeon examined her very carefully.

Spine, limbs, soles of feet, joint movement, skin, previous injuries...

All the items to be checked were reviewed.

"No problem, next one."

Shen Yan got dressed and continued with the next part of the project.

The entire physical examination process was completed.

All passed!

There are no obstacles.

When Shen Yan received the preliminary qualified result, he felt completely at ease.

First hurdle passed!

As long as there are no problems with the subsequent political review, enlistment is basically guaranteed!

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Dude."

"You're from Fu Jen Catholic University's School of Medicine, right?"

Shen Yan turned his head.

A tall, muscular boy stood to the side.

He had dark skin, a sturdy build, a square face, and a smiling expression in his eyes.

He looks a bit simple-minded, but his eyes are very bright.

Shen Yan glanced at him.

"You're also from Fudan University?"

The boy smiled and waved his hand.

"I'm from the sports academy; I saw you at the military recruitment registration office before."

"I remember you filling out the form quite decisively back then."

Shen Yanchong nodded and then extended his hand.

"My name is Shen Yan, and I'm a medical student."

The other person grinned.

"Wei Shanjia, Shan as in 'kindness,' Jia as in 'A, B, C, D'!"

After Wei Shanjia finished announcing his name, he looked Shen Yan up and down and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"I originally thought that since you were in medical school, your physical fitness would be average."

"I didn't expect that. Your physique is more like that of a sports student than many people in our sports academy."

Shen Yan smiled.

"I've been practicing a lot lately."

Wei Shanjia looked incredulous.

"Have you been practicing a lot lately to get this good?"

"You might fool laymen with that, but to fool someone from a sports academy like me is an insult to my profession!"

Shen Yan did not explain.

I can't exactly tell him that I have a system, can I?

Wei Shanjia did not press the matter further.

He was very outgoing and immediately came over to ask:

"Where did you fill in your application for military service? I see a lot of people want to stay closer to home."

"Either the conditions are better, or it should be closer to home."

"And you?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment.

"I applied for a remote area because I want to see the most difficult places."

Wei Shanjia was stunned.

"What?"

Shen Yan spoke calmly.

"Since we're going to train, let's go to the place that's best for training!"

Wei Shanjia looked at Shen Yan and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then slowly raise your thumb.

"Awesome, bro!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone actively want to abuse themselves."

"Everyone else takes it easy whenever possible, but you, a top student from Fu Jen Catholic University, head straight for the toughest place right from the start!"

Shen Yan smiled.

"Going to the military is about training yourself; otherwise, you wouldn't be going, right?"

Wei Shanjia sighed.

"How come what you said is exactly the same as what my old man said?"

"That's what he said too. I wanted to go to the Beijing area, but he insisted I apply for a remote area!"

"They say boys can't just run laps on the track; they need to go to really tough places and get some real tough experience!"

"I originally wanted to focus on training in sports, but then he said, 'Sports can be trained in the military too!'"

"What else could I say? If I dared to argue back, he'd chase me down half the courtyard with his cane!"

Shen Yan laughed upon hearing this.

"Your old man is quite interesting!"

Wei Shanjia looked helpless.

"It's interesting, but it's tough on me. I'm being forced to grow up."

As he spoke, Wei Shanjia looked at Shen Yan again.

"But you chose it yourself."

"I truly admire that!"

"If we both apply to work in hardship areas, we might end up in the same place. If there's a chance, we can look out for each other!"

Shen Yan extended his hand.

"OK."

Wei Shanjia immediately grasped it.

"Then it's a deal!"

They shook hands briefly.

This is a preliminary understanding.

Shen Yan had a good impression of Wei Shanjia.

He has excellent physical fitness, a straightforward personality, and is talkative but not annoying.

If we are assigned to the same place in the future, we would be a good comrade-in-arms!

After the physical examination, the next step is the political background check.

The background check and interviews were conducted very quickly.

There are no problems with Shen Yan's side.

The father, Shen Jianguo, and the mother, Chen Sufeng, were both ordinary people who abided by the law.

Family relationships are clear, personal resume is clean, and there is no record of illegal or criminal activity.

When staff came to inquire about the situation, Shen Jianguo was even more proactive than Shen Yan.

"My son wanted to go on his own!"

"Our whole family supports us! Once we're in the army, we'll train exactly as we're supposed to!"

"Don't spoil him just because he's a college student. Young people need to endure more hardship!"

Chen Su-fen, who was listening nearby, glared at him!

"Say less!"

"What do you mean by 'train however you want'? That's your son, not a punching bag!"

Shen Jianguo coughed.

"What I mean is, the military has its own rules, and you should train if you need to."

Chen Sufen sighed.

He said to the staff:

"If the child wants to go, we won't stop him; we just hope he'll be safe and sound."

The staff member smiled.

"rest assured."

"The military will take good care of every soldier."

The background check was passed quickly, and the notification came soon after.

Shen Yan officially became a prospective recruit.

Next, it's time to wait for enlistment.

During this period, Zhao Peng's emotions were very complicated.

On the one hand, he felt that if Shen Yan really left, he would lose his meal buddy.

On the other hand, he inexplicably admired him.

Clinical medicine.

Freshman year.

It's only been a little over a month since the start of the school year.

They signed up as soon as they said they'd sign up, and they actually went to the army as soon as they said they'd go!

That level of execution is truly frightening!

Zhao Peng watched Shen Yan pack his things and couldn't help but sigh.

"Shen Yan".

"Now that you're gone, who will I eat with?"

Shen Yan didn't even look up.

"Li Hao and Zhou Yang are also good."

Zhao Peng looked disgusted.

"Their meals are so boring, they have no soul!"

Shen Yan smiled.

"Then when I get back, the boss will personally treat you to dinner!"

Zhao Peng pursed his lips.

"Forget it, you'll be gone for at least two years."

"Two years from now, I don't even know if I'll still be in clinical practice."

Shen Yan glanced at him and teased him with a smile.

"Then you should sign up for the army next year, and I'll protect you then!"

……

The day of enlistment finally arrived.

Shanghai Railway Station is very crowded.

Armed Forces Department staff and teachers in charge of various schools.

The college students who are about to enlist, as well as their parents and family members who are seeing them off.

The platform was bustling, yet also heavy with emotion.

Shen Yan stood in the crowd, carrying a simple suitcase.

He didn't have many things: his ID, documents, some changes of clothes, and some simple daily necessities.

The military will provide what they are entitled to, so there's no need to bring too much.

Shen Jianguo and Chen Sufen traveled all the way from their hometown to Shanghai.

As soon as Chen Su-fen met him, she began to inspect his bag.

"Did you bring your ID card? What about the admission notice and other materials?"

"Do you have enough socks?"

"Where did you put the charger?"

"There's still some medicine; I've given you some commonly used medications."

"Once you're in the army, if you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell me."

"Don't try to tough it out."

……

Shen Yan felt a warmth in his heart as he listened to his mother's nagging.

last life.

He's been so busy that he hasn't had time to go home and visit his family often.

When his parents call, he always hangs up after saying just a few words.

As it turned out, he really didn't have time later.

When he died suddenly, he hadn't been home for six months.

In this life, listening to his mother's nagging actually made him feel at ease.

Shen Jianguo stood to the side, outwardly calm and with his back straight, but Shen Yan still saw the redness in his father's eyes.

Men are just stubborn and not good at expressing themselves; they just pretend to be strong.

Shen Jianguo went up and patted Shen Yan on the shoulder.

"Go and do a good job."

Don't be afraid of hardship or fatigue.

"The military is where people are forged."

"Since you've chosen to go, you'd better stick with it to the end! Don't let people say that the Shen family's kids can't handle hardship!"

Shen Yan nodded earnestly.

"Dad, don't worry."

"I will work hard and strive to be promoted to officer in two years and become a leader in ten years!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianguo was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"No wonder he's my son, Shen Jianguo's son; he speaks with such confidence!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sufen's eyes reddened.

"You two are always talking about this kind of thing."

"Son, I don't ask you to do anything great, I just hope you come back safe and sound."

Looking at his parents, who looked much younger, Shen Yan felt a slight pang of sadness in his heart.

In his past life, he made them, the white-haired, bury the black-haired.

This time, it won't happen again!

He said softly:

"Mom, I will take good care of myself."

"This time, I'll definitely get in good physical shape, stay healthy, and stay safe!"

Chen Su-fen didn't understand how important "this time" was.

But she could see that her son was serious, so she could only nod.

"it is good."

"Mom believes you!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from afar.

"Shen Yan!"

Shen Yan turned his head to look.

Wei Shanjia, wearing a big red flower and carrying a bag, was waving at him.

Several family members were standing next to this guy.

One of them, an old man with gray hair, wearing a military uniform, stood ramrod straight, leaning on a cane.

Wei Shanjia ran over, grinning.

"We really ran into each other! Looks like we're destined to meet!"

Shen Yan smiled.

"Are you leaving today too?"

Wei Shanjia nodded.

"right!"

"Looks like we might actually be in the same batch, maybe we really will be assigned together."

After saying that, he turned to look at his grandfather and lowered his voice:

"See that?"

"My old man."

"If I dare say I'm not going today, he'll really give me a real beating with his cane right here and now!"

Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Before he could speak, the assembly whistle blew.

"New recruits, assemble!"

"Get ready to board!"

The atmosphere on the platform changed instantly.

All the new recruits about to enlist began to shoulder their luggage and assemble at the designated location.

Chen Sufen's eyes reddened even more, and she reached out to straighten Shen Yan's collar.

Even though her collar was perfectly neat, she couldn't resist tidying it up a bit more.

"After you get there, remember to call often."

Don't be picky about food.

Don't push yourself too hard during training.

"Get along well with your comrades."

"Listen to the class monitor."

……

Shen Yan nodded.

"I see."

Shen Jianguo took a deep breath.

He patted Shen Yan on the shoulder.

"Go."

Don't look back.

"Serve in the army well!"

Shen Yan nodded.

He shouldered his luggage and turned to walk towards the group.

After walking a few steps, he still looked back.

The father stood ramrod straight, while the mother's eyes were red-rimmed.

The two figures were not conspicuous in the crowd on the platform, but they made Shen Yan's heart tremble violently.

The train slowly started moving, and the figures outside the window receded little by little.

Shen Yan turned his head and looked ahead.

"Troops, I'm here!"
