As soon as Zhao Rui and the others returned to the dormitory, they shut the door and started talking happily. Class monitor Zhao Rui indicated that they should not speak too loudly to avoid affecting the other dormitories.
It would not be good if the dorm supervisor or some senior instructor passed by and heard them.
"We will definitely celebrate today. What do you think, class monitor?"
"Yeah, it's time to relax." Bai Xiaofei patted the shoulders of the other three people and suggested.
"I can handle it if you want to play cards, but it's too obvious. It would be terrible if we are accidentally discovered."
Zhang Cheng looked at Bai Xiaofei from the corner of his eyes and said, "That's right. We have just received the reward. We can't do this, right, class monitor?"
Zhao Rui smiled at them and said, "Although we have received the reward, we can't brag about it. We should continue to do our job well."
After some discussion, the four of them lost their interest.
After all, most forms of entertainment seemed to have a high price to pay.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. The sun was scorching outside, and the instructors arranged for the freshmen to attend a political class.
After lunch, it was night time again.
Zhao Rui lay on his bed early and planned to fall asleep. He entered the King of Soldiers' training space to train for a while. The goal of this training was to improve his cross-country running and memory.
The other three were still talking about their dormitory winning the award today.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Zhao Rui vaguely heard the sounds outside when the training had just ended.
Could it be the same sobbing sound from last time?
"Did I hear wrong?" Zhao Rui widened his round eyes and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, as if he was afraid of missing out on something.
"Sob, sob, sob..."
Zhao Rui was very sure that he did not hear wrong.
"It's him!" Zhao Rui suddenly sat up from the bed and did not disturb the others' sweet dreams.
He knew that this was definitely Qian Jiang from Dormitory 426 again.
At this moment, Zhao Rui did not have the slightest bit of anger or resentment towards Qian Jiang for failing to live up to expectations.
He was only worried that Qian Jiang would fall into depression and struggle internally again.
Therefore, Zhao Rui immediately put on some clothes and left the dormitory. After taking a few steps outside, he saw Qian Jiang outside the dormitory building.
At this moment, this guy was actually walking towards the administrative building.
"What is he doing?"
"The administrative building is where the instructors and some culture teachers usually work. Now there should be no one there." Zhao Rui looked at the watch on his wrist.
Zhao Rui originally wanted to rush up and ask Qian Jiang what was going on. But he suddenly slowed down, it was better to wait!
If he went up and asked him directly, Qian Jiang might not be willing to tell him.
So he quietly followed him to see what he wanted to do, and then he would find a way to help him.
It was already past the lights out time, and the surroundings were silent. Only the dim street lamps stood by the roadside, and occasionally there were the sounds of crickets in the grass.
Zhao Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I really went through a lot of trouble to help this guy."
However, thinking about Qian Jiang's experience, Zhao Rui still felt that he should help him.
In the night, the shadows of the two people moved in the moonlight. One in front and one behind, they had unknowingly reached the administrative building.
Today, the door of the administrative building was half closed, but most of the rooms above were already pitch-black!
Only one room was lit up.
"That office is..." Zhao Rui had a very familiar feeling.
Zhao Rui realized that it was chief instructor Kronin's office!
Could it be?
Zhao Rui didn't dare to think too much and quickly followed Qian Jiang all the way upstairs.
At this time, the door of Instructor He Yingbo's office was open, and the light shone from the room, as if he was waiting for someone.
Then, Qian Jiang gave a report and walked in.
"Should I eavesdrop?" Zhao Rui was about to walk up, but he hesitated.
If he didn't eavesdrop, he might lose a lot of important information, and it would be difficult to help Qian Jiang. If he followed Qian Jiang, it wouldn't be the work of a gentleman, much less a soldier.
"Reporting!" After hesitating for a while, Zhao Rui finally made up his mind and walked to the door of the office and shouted.
He believed in Instructor He Yingbo's character and concern for the students. If Zhao Rui could help Qian Jiang, he would definitely not hide anything from Zhao Rui.
When he saw Zhao Rui, the instructor was instantly stunned. Qian Jiang was so scared that he staggered and almost tripped.
They didn't expect that a third person would appear in this place tonight.
"Zhao Rui, what are you doing here?" Qian Jiang's face was still wet with tears.
The instructor looked at Zhao Rui quietly.
"Reporting to the instructor, I heard Qian Jiang crying. I was worried that he might be in danger, so I followed him all the way here."
"When I saw that it was your office, I was relieved. But I was still afraid that Qian Jiang might hurt himself, so I came in."
Instructor He Yingbo smiled and put his hands on his hips. "Good, what a good student Zhao Rui!"
"Not only is he physically fit and good at housekeeping, he also cares about his classmates so much."
"It seems that your dormitory is worthy of my banner!"
He Yingbo was deeply aware that no matter how strong a soldier's individual combat ability was, it wouldn't be as strong as teamwork!
War was a battle between groups, not a battle between individuals.
Therefore, only a strong sense of teamwork and cohesion was the soul of a team!
The students of Odin Academy must be so!
The instructor turned to Qian Jiang and said, "Alright, Qian Jiang, you can say it now. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm sorry. I'm too busy today, so when you tell me, I can only ask you to come here at this hour. I hope it's not too late to talk to you about it."
"Can you tell me about it in front of Zhao Rui?"
Qian Jiang nodded and said, "Yes. I told Zhao Rui about it last time. It was also Zhao Rui who gave me comfort and encouragement. That's why I have persisted until now. So it's not a secret to him."
Qian Jiang then told the instructor what he had told Zhao Rui when Zhao Rui had found him crying.
However, this time, he had made up his mind to quit school.
Zhao Rui quickly said, "Qian Jiang, it's not worth it. Have you forgotten your dream since you were young?"
Qian Jiang lowered his head and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve. He did not respond.
It seemed that he had made up his mind and would not listen to anyone.
He came to find Instructor He Yingbo today to apply for de-enrollment.
After He Yingbo heard it, he could not help but sigh and said, "This is a problem that many recruits may face."
"Especially for some freshmen who are not physically fit enough, they may drag down their team every day. But..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he paused as if he had thought of something.
After pondering for a few seconds, he said to Qian Jiang, "Go next door and wait for me. The door isn't locked."
"Yes! Instructor!"
After Qian Jiang left, Instructor He Yingbo turned to Zhao Rui and said, "You knew about Qian Jiang's past, right?"
Zhao Rui nodded.
"I'll give you a task. This task may be more difficult than all the tasks you have faced in the past month or so."
"Because this time, you're not facing your own physical strength, nor are you facing the kind of task where you could practice, like organizing your internal affairs."
"You're facing a person."
Zhao Rui was suddenly shocked and said, "You mean..."
He calmly said, "This time, I'll leave the matter of Qian Jiang to you. You must convince him to give up the idea of quitting school!"
