Chapter 29: The Soft-Hearted Zhuo Yi

  Ke Sun still ignored Zhuo Yi's words, but instead shouted at Jiang Yu Rong: "What are you still dazing about? Hurry up and gather! Do you want to do push-ups again?"

  "Assembly!" Suppressing the grievances in her heart, Jiang Yurou responded to Sun Fan's words and gave the assembly order. At this moment, she was already tearful, but she held back and didn't dare to let them flow out. Zhuo Yi saw that Sun Fan still didn't pay attention to herself, and having guessed that Sun Fan wouldn't eliminate Jiang Yurou, she weakly put down her hands and turned around, unable to hold back tears streaming down her face.

  The team quickly assembled, Jiang Yurou took a deep breath and turned around to salute Sun Fengjing, saying: "Report to the instructor comrade, the Flying Shark student squadron has assembled, with 24 people on duty and 23 people actually present. Please instruct!"

  "Attention, thirty minutes!" With that, Sun Bo turned around and strode quickly towards the island.

  As he walked to the entrance of the warship, Sun Buran turned his head and saw that Zhuo Yi had not caught up with him. He couldn't help but rush towards Zhuo Yi and shouted: "Officer Zhuo, do you want to stand at attention with them?"

  Hearing Sun Feng's roar, Zhuo Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Sun Feng, with a pair of fists clenched and crackling.

  But she didn't say anything and just followed Sun Fan's words to the warship, following Sun Fan to the rest room of 157 warships.

  Sun Fan was furious with Zhuo Yi, which was also the first time Sun Qifan had seen. Sun Qifan never thought that after his uncle got angry, he would be so intimidating that even Zhuo Yi didn't dare to look him in the eye.

  This couldn't help but make Sun Qifan take a cold breath, thinking to himself that the gentle and kind Sun Fan from his four years in college might have been an illusion. As he thought about it, Sun Qifan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had been able to be so reckless under Sun Fan's leadership for four years, and at the same time, he also felt that listening to Old Zhao's words and staying behind might not have been a good thing after all.

  Is your heart wavering again? Sun Qifan couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, and then he ridiculed himself for thinking of leaving. The reason was not that he still yearned for the Immortal Bay too much, but rather that he had developed a kind of fear towards Sun Fan in his heart.

  Zhuo Yi, on the other hand, as soon as Sun Fan entered the rest room of the 157 fleet, before he could even stop, he was pushed forward and pressed against the wall by someone who lifted his hand and asked fiercely: "Speak! Are you thinking of going against me?!"

  Sun Fan didn't want to talk to Zhuo Yi in this way, and he even felt that Zhuo Yi had lost her mind at this moment. He counterattacked with his elbow striking Zhuo Yi's temple.

  Luckily, Zhuo Yi was quick and agile, raising her left arm to block Sun Fan's attack.

  However, with this movement, the force that was originally pressing down on Sun Fan suddenly decreased. Sun Fan lifted his foot and kicked against the wall, and he, along with Zhuo Yi, tumbled backward, stumbling and staggering until they finally stopped when Zhuo Yi heavily crashed into the desk in the rest room.

  The back of her waist was suddenly and violently bumped, and Zhuo Yi's hand, which had been grasping Sun Fan's, also instantly loosened.

  But she didn't want to let Sun Fu off so easily, and couldn't care less about the pain in her lower back. In the moment that Sun Fu dodged, she again walked past him with hatred.

  "That's enough!" Turning around, Sun Fan saw Zhuo Yi stubbornly walking towards him again and immediately shouted.

  Scolded by Sun Fan like this, Zhuo Yi stopped instantly and stared at Sun Fan foolishly.

  Looking at Zhuo Yi's painful expression, Sun Fan took a deep breath and calmed down his excited emotions before saying: "I hope you can calm down a bit. I don't know what happened after you found Jiang Yu Rong that made your attitude change so drastically, but as an instructor, I hope you understand the weight of every word you say!"

  "I know what I'm doing!" As she said that, Zhuo Yi's tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes.

  This was the first time Sun Fan had seen Zhuo Yi cry in over a decade of knowing her, and his heart skipped a beat.

  Zhuo Yi's tears made Sun Fan realize that perhaps the depth of the matter was not what he had expected. He fell silent for a moment, then slowly walked to Zhuo Yi's front, lifted his hand and gently wiped away the tear stains on Zhuo Yi's face, softly asking: "What exactly happened that made you have to let Jiang Yu Rong leave? Didn't you decide she was your apprentice?"

  Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Yi replied to Sun Fan with a sob: "This afternoon, according to the plan, we conducted psychological activity detection on Jiang Yurou. Everything went smoothly at first, but when it came to the third question, her emotions fluctuated abnormally, and the value of her psychological activity even reached the critical point."

  "What does it mean?" Sun Fan didn't expect such a thing to happen in the afternoon, if so, Jiang Yurou's continued stay might be an impossible task.

  "In fact, the third question was a simple collision problem, and even under such intense psychological pressure, Jiang Yurou still managed to answer it smoothly. This... this makes me admire her perseverance, and also makes me feel that it's necessary to know what happened to her in the past, something related to the collision."

  "So... that's why you suddenly rushed back to the base and retrieved her data." Sun Fan finally understood what had happened in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Alright, he asked again: "Then... earlier when you suddenly wanted her to leave here, it shouldn't just be about this matter, because you said she answered questions even under intense pressure."

  Zhuo Yi nodded firmly and said, "Right! I originally hoped she would stay, but do you know? When I saw her curled up in the corner sleeping alone, with tears stains on her face so obvious, I got scared, I'm afraid that if she stays... something really will happen!"

  He's scared, this is the first time Sun Fan heard Zhuo Yi say he's scared, how serious is this matter.

  Sun Fan couldn't help but take a deep breath, ponder for a moment, before saying: "I believe in Jiang Yurou, what about you?" After finishing speaking, Sun Fan raised his hand and grasped Zhuo Yi's shoulders, his eyes quietly looking at Zhuo Yi, waiting for her response.

  Looking at Sun Fan's resolute face, thinking of Jiang Yu Rong's painful expression in the afternoon, thinking of Jiang Yu Rong curled up pitifully, Zhuo Yi didn't know how to respond to Sun Fan.

  After a long time, she finally let out a sigh, turned her head to one side and said in a tone that seemed to have lost all conviction: "I believe you."

  Even though he was disappointed with Zhuo Yi's answer, Sun Fan still smiled contentedly. He wanted to pull Zhuo Yi into his arms and give her a warm hug, but in the end, he just patted her shoulder as if encouraging a brother, then turned and left the rest room.

  Perhaps having spoken out the burden in her heart, Zhuo Yi also let out a sigh of relief, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, pulling at the hem of her military uniform, blinking her eyes, and returning to the usual iron-blooded and ruthless Zhuo Yi, she turned around and followed Sun Fan to the deck.

  Back on the deck, Sun Fan and Zhuo Yi didn't mention Jiang Yu Rong's matter again. Zhuo Yi looked at Jiang Yu Rong who was standing in front of the team with a stern military posture, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, knowing that she had wronged Jiang Yu Rong once more.

  As expected, when Sun Fu walked up to the front of the formation, he coldly said: "Jiang Yu Rou, get into position for push-ups!"

  "Yes!" This was the result that Jiang Yurou had guessed, she didn't have any complaints or hesitation, and she bowed her head to accept it. In her heart, her thoughts were simple, as long as she could stay, no matter how severe the punishment was, it was negligible.

  "50 push-ups, start!"

  "Yes!" responded to Sun's words, Jiang Yurou began to do so neatly.

  As Jiang Yuru was doing push-ups, Sun Fan also said to others: "Don't think that just because you have power, you can do whatever you want. As a cadre, one should set an example for oneself and always demand the strictest standards from oneself at all times!"

  Lu Tao listened to Sun Fan's words, although he knew that Sun Fan was saying this for Jiang Yu Rong's benefit, but he also bent down and started doing push-ups with Jiang Yu Rong.

  Sun Bao didn't respond to him, but continued saying: "No matter when, discipline is always the criterion for our behavior. If we don't engrave discipline into our minds, then when war breaks out, your recklessness will become the greatest enemy!"

  Listening to Sun Feng's lecture, Sun Qifan also bowed his head. Following Sun Qifan, Qiu Lin and Bao Shiping also joined the ranks of those being punished. The others also gradually bowed their heads, even Lü Kun, who was the last one, muttered a few words in discontent but still joined the group.

  "I want you all to remember everything that happened today, remember! Discipline is your only true weapon!"

  As soon as Sun's words fell, a Black Shark fighter jet took off from the Liaoning aircraft carrier in the distance under the night sky, like the strongest period at the end of Sun's speech, perfectly matching.

  Zhao Hu also walked to the tail of the aircraft carrier at this moment, he heard Sun Fan's words just now, saw 23 students, although only one person made a mistake, but it was a punishment for sharing the same hardships and sweetness, couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and smiled. After smiling for a while, he walked up to Sun Fan and said: "What you asked me to do, I've already done it, don't make a big deal out of this!"

  As soon as the application for the Liaoning ship was approved, Sun Bao couldn't help but laugh excitedly and hurriedly grasped Zhao Hu's hands with both of his own, saying: "Old Zhao, you're too awesome!"

  Zhao Hu also smiled and said with a hint of mockery: "You're sending me off with just one sentence?"

  "How about... when I have a day off, I'll treat you to a drink?"

  "I don't need your help," Zhao Hu said, turning his head to look at Zhuo Yi, pointing at Sun Fan and warningly saying: "If you make my first female flyer cry again, I'll make sure you won't be wearing that uniform anymore!"

  Listening to Zhao Hu's words, Zhuo Yi burst out laughing, but immediately coughed twice and became serious.

  Sun Fan saw Zhao Hu waiting for him here and couldn't help but smile, responding: "No problem!"

  Sun Feng nodded in agreement, and Zhao Hu also burst out laughing. He turned his head to look at the 23 students who were doing push-ups and shouted: "New Fei, are you all ready for the flight?"

  As soon as they heard that they were going to go on stage, the students who were doing push-ups immediately looked up at Zhao Hu.

  "Whoever finishes a hundred push-ups first will be the first to board the Liaoning!" Zhao Hu said, his hands and feet gesturing excitedly towards the Liaoning, looking more excited than the students themselves.

  "Shang Liaoning aircraft carrier?!" Qiu Lin was so excited that she forgot the first half of what Zhao Hu said, and immediately stood up, jumping and waving her hand at Zhao Hu, shouting: "I! I want to be the first one to go!"
