When Li Xiang saw the soldiers returning from picking up trash, he no longer paid attention to Xiao Yunjie and introduced himself. He walked back to the front of the team with a straight face.
Li Xiang glanced coldly at the soldiers who were eating trash and shouted, "Today, you're eating trash, but I hope you all remember this moment. Remember that every mouthful of food is not easy to come by. Previously, you might not have cared about it at home or in society. It might have been a waste, but in the army, it's absolutely not allowed. Savor every mouthful!"
"Understood?"
"Yes."
The soldiers roared in unison. All of them had serious expressions, and there was no defiance in their eyes.
It could not be helped. In front of such an abnormal instructor, no one dared to act rashly. Even if they were not convinced, they had to hold it in.
Li Xiang exhaled and changed his words. "Can someone tell me why you're here as soldiers?"
Xiao Yunjie was the first to speak. He replied in a very official tone, "To dedicate my youth to the prosperity of my country."
Li Xiang frowned and scolded, "Speak human language."
Swoosh!
Faced with the company commander's question, Xiao Yunjie's expression changed drastically. He was really frightened and did not know what to say for a moment. He subconsciously looked at Yan Poyue.
Yan Poyue had a calm expression on his face. He immediately said, "To become stronger."
Li Xiang turned to look at Yan Poyue and muttered in his heart, "At least it's normal."
Glancing at Yan Poyue, Li Xiang did not say anything. He turned to Chen Ran and asked, "Why did you join the army?"
"Why?"
The moment Chen Ran repeated this question in his mind, he suddenly thought of his grandfather, whom he had never met before, and the letter he had left for him. In the next second, he blurted out.
"How could you be a man if you don't fight for your country? If you visit through all fifty states and see the statues of ten thousand heroes, you will find ten thousand warriors, not scholars!"
"You're already reciting poems?" Li Xiang's mouth twitched. He wanted to curse, but he couldn't. He looked at Chen Ran in surprise.
"I've been in the army for more than ten years and have seen all kinds of recruits. This is the first time I've met a recruit who knows how to express himself with a poem. As expected, there are all kinds of birds in the big forest.
"Ink is good, but it won't be of much use in the army. The key is still strength."
Li Xiang was not optimistic about the physical fitness of the fair-skinned Chen Ran. He said coldly, "Not bad. You're cultured. However, I want to hear the details."
Chen Ran shouted, "Reporting, in order to inherit my family business, I have to prove myself and show my strength to my aunt."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ran realized that he had even read out the words that he had been chanting to prove his aunt's strength when he was young.
"I need to act like a human."
Sure enough, in the next second, Chen Ran saw the company commander looking at him with a strange expression.
"What the hell?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Li Xiang's eyes as he looked at Chen Ran speechlessly.
He had always been a very serious person. Otherwise, he would not have gotten the title of "demon" and "psycho". However, when he suddenly heard this recruit say that he wanted to prove his strength to women by becoming a soldier, he wanted to scold him.
In fact, no matter what kind of answer he gave in the army, there were no surprises, including Yan Poyue saying that he wanted to become stronger. This was a rather standard and proud answer, but Chen Ran's answer…
"What do you mean by acting like a human in order to inherit the family business? Aren't you human now? You even said that you wanted to prove your strength to your aunt. What the hell is this?"
Li Xiang was not the only one who was shocked. Beside him, Chen Mintao and the instructor, Zhang Tianyang, who came in the same car as Chen Ran, had strange expressions on their faces.
"What reason is that?"
Regarding Chen Ran's answer, they only noticed the last sentence, "Prove your strength to my aunt." Was your aunt your woman?
A man actually dared to publicly say that he wants to be strong for a woman. What was he saying?
"That's a strong reason."
"There's someone who came to serve in the army to prove something to his Aunt?"
"Brave. This kid is really brave. I admire him!"
"…"
Chen Ran's words were like a bomb exploding. In less than 10 seconds, the atmosphere at the scene became abnormally heated.
The recruits looked at Chen Ran as if they were looking at a monster. There was a complicated look in their eyes.
Some people could not help but hold their stomachs and laugh secretly.
Such a reason was too awesome!
Unfortunately, with the company commander, the instructor, and the squad leader around, all of them held back their laughter.
All the recruits, including Yan Poyue, who had always been cold, were speechless when they heard this. Their mouths could not help but twitch.
"Is this guy stupid?"
At the same time, on the balcony of a building in the distance, Ai Qianxue, who was wearing a military uniform, was deep in thought. She was looking at this side, and she could vaguely hear the voices from the field.
Ai Qianxue paid attention to this place because she wanted to see if Chen Ran would cause any trouble on his first day.
As a rich young master, Chen Ran had lived a carefree and luxurious life since he was young. If he suddenly joined the army, he would definitely suffer a lot. Whether he could pass the army's test or not, today was the beginning. It was also a very important day.
Chen Ran's mother, Lu Qin, was also her sworn sister. She knew her son's character, so she repeatedly reminded her to help look after Chen Ran.
In her sworn sister's words, Chen Ran definitely would not be able to endure the hardships of the army. It would be difficult for him to even join the army. Not to mention that he had persisted for two years, his performance on the day of the registration might even deceive your eyes. When he was young, when his grandfather brought him to run training, he would find a place on the field to sleep until he was sweating profusely. Then, he even lied to his grandfather and said that he had run tens of thousands of meters…
"Is Chen Ran really fooling people? But when he registered at the Armament Department that day, he displayed really good skills when he fought with that young man. I clearly saw it with my own eyes, so I shouldn't be wrong. Also, his aura seems to have changed…"
Ai Qianxue's sworn sister Lu Qin's words flashed through her mind, as well as what had happened that day. Suddenly, a few question marks appeared in her mind.
Ai Qianxue did not believe her sworn sister's words. After all, Chen Ran had been a little lazy since he was young. Moreover, with her understanding of her sworn sister, she knew that he would not lie at all.
The reason why she and her sworn sister got along so well was because of their personalities. The two of them trusted each other when they worked together. She was an electronic information engineer, and her sworn sister had invested in her. Therefore, the two of them worked very happily together. Unknowingly, they became old friends. It was also because of this that she got to know Chen Ran.
Previously, Chen Ran liked to chase after her and call her sister and aunt. He even liked to joke with her and even said that he wanted to marry her when he grew up.
When she heard this, she would always throw him a lukewarm sentence. "You're not strong enough to protect me."
