Chapter Fifteen: Lingering Fragrance

  The army looked at the soldiers going to the toilet, and the longing in her heart grew stronger. She didn't care about anything and ran towards the family area. Being late and getting fined was much better than suffocating to death.

  "Hey, where are you running?" Yang Nan appeared beside her without knowing when.

  "I'm going to the residential area to use the toilet, excuse me." The army company commander didn't even turn his head, continuing with his actions.

  "Otherwise I'll help you stand guard, and you go to the men's restroom. The people there should have left by now." Yang Nan suggested kindly.

  The army stopped in its tracks, staring at him in surprise. She and he seemed to have only met once before, but now the soldiers' hearts were so good, why was that black-faced ghost so black-hearted? Looking at the newly assembled recruits, thinking of the long distance ahead, she could only nod her head.

  Comrade Yang Nan is still relatively meticulous, without reminding him to check the toilet automatically, and then let Lu Jun go in. He himself stood guard outside with a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had picked up a great bargain.

  The army solved it and threw infinite gratitude at Yang Nan, continuing back to the training ground.

  The day ended with the army's continuous training, and when Lu Jun returned to her residence, she didn't even have the energy to climb the stairs, and could only grab the handrail step by step. The difficulty was almost as high as the rock climbing in the afternoon. The instructor of the new recruits was simply inhuman, and it seemed that he wanted to exhaust this flower of the motherland. He didn't even consider that Lu Jun was a woman, a real woman, and yet he demanded that her training intensity be the same as that of the male soldiers. During rock climbing, those soldiers had already passed by several times, while Lu Jun was still hanging there, unable to move up or down. It was really embarrassing and exhausting! The life in this troop was really unbearable.

  The navy didn't see the army when he was having dinner, thinking that she might have eaten and gone back already. Knowing that he was delayed by other things when he got off work today, not seeing her for a day still made him quite worried about her.

  In the stairway between the fifth and fourth floors, the naval officer met her. He looked at the woman who was messing with some airplane thing and wanted to get angry, but then he looked again at the woman who was still a beautiful flower when they parted in the morning, now almost on the verge of collapse, so he suppressed his anger and kindly came over to support her.

  The army felt a little lighter and turned back to see the navy, "Captain, thank you, but please don't hold my arm, just support my shoulder."

  "Don't get any ideas, I'm already being very kind to you by helping you like this. You'd better swallow those unhealthy thoughts of yours." The navy thought the army was still trying to take advantage of him, so his vigilance was now very high and he wouldn't give her another chance. He was a good man who guarded himself like jade, resolute and unmoved, so his hand gripped her arm even tighter.

  "Ouch!" The army cried out in pain, looking at the navy with tears in his eyes.

  The navy didn't think that his own strength would be so exaggerated that people would cry out, even with tears streaming down, "I'm telling you, don't try to gain sympathy."

  "Captain, hurry up and let go, it really hurts." The army scrunched up his face, the pain mixed with a tired expression was fully exposed without any cover.

  The navy became tense, carefully letting go of his hand, bending over and hugging her waist to continue walking upstairs. They currently live on the sixth floor, and this building has a total of seven floors, so there is no elevator, relying solely on manual climbing. The army trained too much today, and it was already a limit to climb to the fourth floor. Now he had no strength at all, and his body was numb on the navy's body.

  The navy was stunned by a fragrance of a girl, after a day's training, he had a sweaty body, but the army on his body didn't smell like a man could suffocate people, instead, it still had a lingering fragrance. This fragrance made the navy very uncomfortable, wanting to move her away, but also greedy for that scent, so he fell into a daze. Fortunately, the journey wasn't far, when they arrived at the door, the navy heavily knocked on his own head, then calmly opened the door and supported the army in, only with some small ripples in his heart.

  The army sat on the sofa in the living room and didn't want to get up completely, saying weakly: "Battalion commander, thank you."

  The navy had already calmed down at this time, looking at her coldly, "No need to thank you, what's wrong with your arm?"

  The army did not respond, but slowly rolled up his sleeves, and on the white and delicate arm like sheep fat jade, there were bruises of various colors, which was quite frightening! The most serious injury was that a large piece of skin had been scraped off at the elbow, with blood oozing out.

  The navy looked at the miserable state of her arm, feeling heartbroken. A strange emotion filled her heart. "Army, are you still in pain?" She asked a silly question.

  The army was fighting with his eyelids, "I don't feel the pain anymore, I just want to sleep, don't disturb me." After finishing speaking, he seemed to have really fallen asleep.

  The navy looked at the person who was just talking there, suddenly fell to one side, don't know if she fell asleep or fainted, so carefully went over, gently shook her awake, "Army, how are you?"

  The army thought he could finally rest, but didn't think that there was always a fly buzzing around his ears. With his eyes closed and unconscious, he slapped around him and muttered: "Dead flies are not allowed to bully me again, I'm miserable enough."

  The navy patted him a few times on the back, without any pain, but instead his heart felt itchy. Hearing those words, he was not comfortable in his heart. Looking at that slightly injured face, the navy considered what to do next?

  "Knock knock knock", the sound of knocking on the door broke the Navy's meditation, he got up to open the door and saw a face that didn't make him very happy.

  Digression

  It was like this when I was in university for military training too.

  Crawling up those heartbreaking stairs — the seventh floor

  It's really going to cost someone their life!
