The female soldiers who were listening secretly looked at each other. Their shoulders trembled, and they could see the fear in each other’s eyes. No way! Could it be that Ye Jian would really use half a year to surpass veterans like them?

"Retreat, retreat. I’m afraid I’ll faint if I continue listening." Li Xiushui touched Tang Liyin, who was standing there in a daze. The two of them quickly picked up their toiletries and left the bathroom as if they were being chased by a ferocious beast.

Fang Xin slowly closed the tap. She pursed her lips and looked at Guo Cui beside her. She raised her chin slightly, asking if she wanted to go out with them.

Guo Cui nodded. She wrung out the towel and left with Fang Xin. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Li Xiushui and Tang Liyin standing outside. When they came out, they raised their hands and pointed in front. The four of them tacitly carried their toiletries to the corner in front to talk.

The bathroom was designed with three rows of taps. Ye Jian was in the left row while Guo Cui and the rest were on the right. Their backs were facing each other. Li Xiushui and Tang Liyin were at the front. Now that the four of them had left, only Ye Jian and Lu Hui were left.

Lu Hui’s face froze. She pulled the corners of her mouth forcefully and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "It can’t be. It’s only been... half a year. But... you’ve even surpassed me in professional skills?"

She realized that when she talked to Ye Jian these few days, she was always stuttering!

Ye Jian smiled mysteriously. "I don’t know. Maybe I’ve surpassed you guys, or maybe I’m still at the bottom. After all, you’re all the top soldiers in your old military units. No matter how hard I work, I was only given half a year."

"That’s all I can think of. I’ll definitely keep an eye on you during the professional skills training in the afternoon! Lieutenant Ye, I won’t give in to you just because you’re a lieutenant."

Lu Hui, who was not discouraged or afraid of blows, was still very confident in herself.

The deputy squad leader, who had finished washing up, met the squad leader. There were still a few minutes, so the two of them stood in a corner of the corridor and talked. The deputy squad leader told the squad leader about Ye Jian’s training last night. The squad leader smiled and sighed. "Yesterday, I suspected that Ye Jian would secretly go for training every night. I was right. She had never missed a night training session. I admire her for persevering.

"She’s been pretending for half a year. After returning from the exercise, she stopped pretending. Deputy, what do you think it means?"

The deputy squad leader didn’t even think about it and said in a low voice, "This means that Lieutenant Ye’s technical training has reached a level where there’s no need to pretend anymore. Yesterday, when Captain Lei mentioned Lieutenant Ye, his words were filled with admiration. You can tell from Captain Lei’s attitude that it’s very likely that Lieutenant Ye used only half a year to reach the standard of our airborne soldiers."

The squad leader nodded. "That’s right. There’ll be technical training today. We’ll see if it’s as we guessed."

The deputy squad leader suddenly laughed. The squad leader smiled and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing at the troublesome Lu Hui. I’m afraid she’ll receive another blow today."

The squad leader couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of the bet. "That’s right. It might be a bigger blow than yesterday. Our two military units have the same basic training, so Lu Hui can still accept it if Lieutenant Ye is better than us in that regard. But if Lieutenant Ye surpasses us in technical training, I’m really worried that Lu Hui will be so shocked that she’ll want to kill herself."

"Lu Hui’s mental fortitude is quite strong. She’s able to admit her mistake voluntarily. I hope she can maintain a good mentality during today’s training."

The whistle blew. The squad leader and deputy squad leader didn’t discuss further. They brought their teams out. The deputy squad leader saw Guo Cui and the other three running out of the corner of the fire escape corridor. The four of them quickly returned to the dormitory without noticing the deputy squad leader.
