567: Little sister, why are your lips red?
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xiao Niannian nodded with a smile.
“Welcome back, Xiao Yan.”
“I heard Brother Yuan also brought a team over. That's great,” Shen Yan said, his face beaming with joy.
Last time he went there, Brother Yuan treated him very well. This time, he brought a lot of supplies and needed to properly thank Brother Yuan.
“Brother Lu, starting tomorrow, you must be as strict with me as you are with an Elite Team Member. I believe I can do it...”
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Lu Jing nodded.
“Alright, I will be strict with you.”
Even stricter!
Shen Yan suddenly felt the air in the room drop a few degrees, sensing that something was wrong.
Why is it so chilly?
How could there be a cold wind on such a hot day?
Military Doctor Shen looked at Lu Jing. He felt the atmosphere was strange, but Old Lu and Niannian looked completely calm.
“Little Sister.”
Gu Yuan's voice rang out, and he walked into the room.
“Big Brother.”
“Brother Yuan.”
Shen Yan happily stood up and gave Gu Yuan a hug.
Gu Yuan smiled and patted Shen Yan on the shoulder.
“Brother Yan, I was just telling Brother Lu to be strict with me...”
Hearing this, Gu Yuan nodded.
“Strict requirements are necessary.”
Gu Yuan saw that his little sister's lips were a bit red and asked with concern.
“Little Sister, why are your lips red?”
Hearing her Big Brother's concerned words, Xiao Niannian's expression remained unchanged as she said, “I have internal heat.”
Military Doctor Shen's gaze swept over Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's faces, and he suddenly understood.
Shen Yan looked on blankly, wondering why his brother was laughing.
Gu Yuan did not realize the truth and said with concern.
“Drink more water.”
Xiao Niannian glanced at Big Brother. How would Big Brother ever woo Big Sister-in-law with such a dense comment? Just thinking about Lu Jing telling her to drink more water in the future made her want to kick him.
Gu Yuan saw his little sister glaring at him, leaving him completely confused.
What's wrong with Little Sister?
Should he go look for some medicine to clear internal heat?
Should he ask Military Doctor Shen for some later?
Gu Yuan made up his mind and smiled at his little sister.
Xiao Niannian sat beside Lu Jing, pinching the flesh on his lower back.
Lu Jing laughed, and only after letting Niannian pinch him did he put his hand behind him and grasp Niannian's hand.
Xiao Niannian squeezed Lu Jing's hand hard, but no matter how much force she used, Lu Jing's expression remained incredibly calm.
Xiao Niannian pulled her hand back and moved a little further away from Lu Jing.
Gu Yuan sensed that his little sister was angry, and he glared at Lu Jing.
“It's getting late. You should go back and rest.”
Xiao Niannian spoke up to usher them out.
“Alright.” Lu Jing stood up.
Watching them leave, Xiao Niannian closed the door.
She went back to the mirror and looked at herself; her lips were still slightly red.
After Xiao Niannian woke up in the morning and arrived at the Training Ground, she saw Shen Yan running.
“Sister Xiao.”
Seeing Lu Jing nearby, Shen Yan immediately changed his address.
“Instructor Xiao.”
“How many kilometers are you running?”
Xiao Niannian started running alongside him.
“Report! Ten kilometers.”
“Playing so hard first thing in the morning?”
However, seeing Shen Yan's energetic appearance, he certainly could run more.
After Xiao Niannian ran five kilometers, she saw Shen Yan walking slowly.
“Instructor Xiao, I finished my ten kilometers. Shall we go to the Mess Hall together?”
“Alright.”
When they reached the bottom of the Cliff, Shen Yan was delighted upon seeing it.
“Rock climbing! I know how to do this. I even taught my classmates.”
Hearing Shen Yan mention his classmates, Xiao Niannian missed them a little.
“How did they do on their tests this time?”
“Meng Ning was first, Gao Yao and Lin Shi were fifth and sixth...”
When Shen Yan said this, his tone still held a hint of dissatisfaction.
“I was just a few points short, otherwise I would have been first.”
“Oh right, I also taught them rock climbing, and some of the skills from here...”
“In a few months, I will be selecting Womens Team members, and I'll be taking a trip to the City Name Military Academy.”
“Really? That's wonderful.”
Shen Yan looked happily at Xiao Niannian.
“Then we can be comrades-in-arms with them again.”
“Don't celebrate too soon. They need to meet the requirements to enter the selection pool, and if they don't pass the three months of training, they will be assigned to other units.”
Hearing Sister Xiao's words, Shen Yan felt that while this might be difficult for others, people like Meng Ning were much stronger than ordinary Soldiers, and they were extremely hardworking. After he learned rock climbing here and went back to teach Meng Ning and the others, they couldn't climb at all initially. But after one or two hours, they learned it. Afterward, they practiced rock climbing every day at school, practicing on every suitable spot there.
Many other classmates also followed along to learn.
Having not seen her for several months, Shen Yan indeed had a lot to say to Xiao Niannian, but after only a few sentences, he was called away.
After practicing Rock Climbing for a few days, Xiao Niannian started teaching the Team Members from the Tibetan Area how to make various Smoke Grenades and Tear Gas Grenades.
And the Minefield on the back mountain was also put to use.
“Instructor Xiao, I didn't expect that just these few items could create a Tear Gas Grenade with such great power...”
“Cough, cough, cough.”
“This thing is too effective.”
“I didn't expect to learn so many techniques on this trip to Yangcheng.”
After finishing the Smoke Grenades and Tear Gas Grenades, they began learning Mine Clearance and Bomb Disposal.
The Special Forces Members from the Tibetan Area had all learned this before, but some of their techniques were mediocre.
Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing reformulated the curriculum, having Squad Leader Li and Fang Qiang teach it again. As for Booby Traps and chain mines, those would be taught by Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing.
Xiao Niannian now only wanted to teach more comrades-in-arms so that, on the Battlefield a few years from now, learning these things could save their lives.
Her individual power couldn't change major events, but she hoped to save more people through her efforts.
Some of these Team Members had previously participated with Xiao Niannian in searching for missing Border Defense Comrades-in-arms. Knowing how capable Xiao Niannian and the comrades-in-arms in Yangcheng were, everyone was very impressed and studied extremely seriously.
Although the other Team Members had not participated in the mission, upon hearing the accounts of their other comrades and arriving here, they also realized that the overall strength of the Special Forces Members in Yangcheng was indeed superior to theirs, which ignited their competitive spirit.
Now, the members of the two teams began intense competitions, both sides aiming to win—one side determined to beat the other, and the other determined not to be surpassed.
Shen Yan had previously learned quite a bit. Now, seeing those Team Members being taught by Squad Leader Li, Fang Qiang, and the other Instructors, he was extremely happy.
You all are taught by Instructors, but I am personally taught by Sister Xiao and Brother Lu. I'm different from you.
Xiao Niannian arranged several classes every day during these past few days, making her schedule incredibly busy.
“Sister Xiao, why did I get tanned, but you barely changed?”
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xiao Niannian smiled.
