Chapter 17 of Volume 1

  Li Nan's physical condition was good, so after lying down for a day, he didn't have any major issues. He lived alone in the adjacent hospital room and was annoyed by those two "roommates" who kept asking him questions (mainly about this exercise).

  Whenever he had nothing to do, he would run to their room to play "Dragon Gate Array". As for Yu Rong, she didn't need to be said, she applied to the dean for separate care in their hospital room, of course mainly to take care of Yuan Shuai.

  Yu Rong was feeding Yuan Shuai porridge (although Yuan Shuai could already eat on his own, Yu Rong insisted on feeding him). The other three people were making sarcastic remarks about the two of them. Yu Rong ignored them, but Yuan Shuai looked embarrassed and couldn't bear it. Just as they didn't know what to do with their hands, Jin Feng and Yang Zhongliang walked in.

  "Jinfeng, class monitor, how did you guys come?" Yuan Shuai was like grasping a lifesaving straw and immediately stood up to "welcome" them.

  "How's it going?" Jin Feng and Yang Zhongliang almost simultaneously asked them.

  "It's okay, it's okay." Everyone came over.

  "Eh, Jinfeng, how did you come?" Because Jinfeng had already launched "Flash Sword", it was unexpected for them to see him again.

  "Hmm? With this tone, it seems like I shouldn't have come." Jin Feng pretended to make a move as if he was going to leave.

  "No"

  "No, no."

  No one continued speaking because they were afraid that if Jin Feng was eliminated, what they said would be very embarrassing.

  "I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you, the captain said that out of the entire 'Lightning Sword' team, only I managed to escape from both the wolf pack and the snake group. It's a rare feat, so let me stay in 'Lightning Sword'. Besides, Estonia has me and Sergeant's share too."

  The entire ward was silent for a moment, and about 5 seconds later the whole ward exploded like a pot. / Yuan Shuai couldn't bear his own pain and jumped up from the hospital bed, which made Yu Rou's heart ache and almost cry out.

  "So we can fight together again?"

  "What? Not welcome?"

  "Wait a minute!" Li Nan said loudly from his bed.

  "Afterwards, we six can fight side by side again."

  "Yes, those foreigners who were beaten are now searching for their teeth all over the ground." Jin Feng added.

  "For us to fight side by side once again, I propose a toast," said Zhang Qipeng.

  "Hey, hey, hey, you can't drink alcohol when you're all injured!" Yu Rou stopped them again.

  As soon as she finished speaking, six pairs of eyes stared at her.

  "That's all. The fastest search network... can only... drink a little bit." Yu Rou felt a bit hairy being stared at by them.

  "But there is no wine." Yuan Shuai said.

  "I'm going to buy it," said Jin Feng, and then he turned around and left.

  Looking at these mischievous yet very real warriors, they are just like the boys next door. Especially Yuan Shuai, when he was feeding him porridge, he still had a bit of shyness, it's hard to imagine that this 23-year-old boy is actually calm and composed on the battlefield, commanding with precision, reacting quickly, and strategizing like a special forces soldier.

  She didn't know why, but when she was in school, there were so many excellent boys chasing after her, yet none of them had ever moved her heart. But now, this Yuan Shuai, who wasn't particularly handsome, yet had an air of elegance and refinement about him, with his broad shoulders and sturdy build, despite not being very tall, stirred up a storm in her heart, making her feel like she was floating on air.

  Jinfeng quickly returned, carrying 4 or 5 bottles of wine and some braised beef, having run several kilometers without changing color in the face or panting.

  "Jin Feng's special talent is most evident when he buys drinks quickly." Li Nan joked.

  Everyone came over to get wine, 2 pots of 65 degrees, one catty (about 0.5 kg) per person, 4 bottles in total. Yu Rong was anxious again...

  "This is strong liquor, you can't drink it, your injury hasn't healed yet."

  Jin Feng put down the wine in his hand, walked around Yang Zhongliang and approached her. He clenched his right fist and punched himself on the chest a few times, saying: "You didn't let him drink because you're afraid of his injury, aren't you?"

  "Yes," Yu Mei replied.

  "When I was injured, you didn't let me drink either, did you?" Jin Feng asked again.

  Yes

  "But we still drank it that day, didn't we?"

  "Grace"

  "Is my body recovering this quickly?"

  She nodded helplessly with a hint of sadness.

  "This is right, we drink and it's good for our recovery, so why not let them drink? Unless you don't want them to recover quickly." Jin Feng continued his twisted logic.

  "No." Yu Rong's face turned bright red with anxiety this time.

  Everyone laughed happily, and Yuan Shuai gently patted her shoulder and said:

  "It's okay, we're used to it." Just as Yuan Shuai's hand patted her shoulder, she felt a surge of electricity coursing through his entire body. This feeling was indescribable and inexplicable. But it made her feel warm and happy.

  "Okay," she said softly, biting her lip: "You should be careful not to drink too much."

  Yuan Shuai smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

  "Hey, we're also hurt, why are you only concerned about him?" Wang Yuanjian and Zhang Qipeng took the opportunity to stir up trouble.

  Li Nan immediately went over, imitating Yu Ruo's mannerisms, and supported Wang Yuanjian with a fake tone, saying: "You should drink less, okay?"

  Wang Yuanjian deliberately shuddered all over his body and exclaimed, "Oh no, oh no, I've got goosebumps all over the place!"

  Only Yang Zhongliang stood by, quietly watching them smile. He often wondered what they would be doing if the world had no wars, no conflicts, and not so many strong powers. He thought he was funny for thinking such a boring question.

  Where there are people, there is conflict. Where there is conflict, there will be war. This has been the case since ancient times and it's not something they can change. All they can do is oppose war, avoid war, but to avoid war, one must prepare for war. This seems to be an eternal truth.

  Their bodies began to recover slowly, but Yu Rong's mood became more complicated by the day. She wanted them to recover as soon as possible, but she didn't want to leave Yuan Shuai. These few days of getting along with Yuan Shuai made her feel like she couldn't leave him anymore. And Yuan Shuai also recovered quickly thanks to her careful care, he didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore because he wanted to continue doing some systematic training. He was very clear about the shortcomings that existed on himself and his comrades, just as Captain Jiang Qingbo said. They knew nothing about the World Special Forces Competition.

  Ten days later, they felt that their bodies had basically recovered. On the day of leaving the hospital, Yu Ruo didn't come. She was afraid that seeing Yuan Shuai leave would make her lose control and distract Yuan Shuai.

  Yuan Shuai also wanted to see Yu Rou, but he knew it wasn't the time for romantic feelings, there were more important things waiting for him to do, so he just silently recited Yu Rou's name in his heart.
