After enlisting, if you haven't served the prescribed number of years before retiring, unless you are injured on duty or have some other special reasons, the higher-ups generally don't easily approve departures. Even more so, Han Xiao, who hasn't even graduated from the new recruits' training; if he purposely made his scores fail, that would be utterly useless. He'd just be transferred to some of the harshest, most exhausting units, without any choice at all.
"Being a deserter could really ruin your life, not only is it recorded in your file, but even worse, it may affect your family." This is no scare tactic.
"I won't allow you to be a deserter." Hearing the others' words, Han Xiao's mother stood up, looking at Han Xiao with a gaze full of resolute determination; she absolutely wouldn't permit Han Xiao to destroy the rest of his life over this. If Old Han found out, he'd be furious, and it would also kill a part of him inside.
"Mom!" Han Xiao's eyes were filled with helplessness.
