Mentioning Duan Chen, Lin Xinglan couldn’t help but care.
Regardless of whether it concerned her or not, she followed Lu Ziqing’s gaze and looked over.
Standing behind Lu Ziqing, Duan Chen had a stiff, expressionless face and just glared fiercely in response to Lu Ziqing’s teasing.
Lu Ziqing smiled, merely reminding Duan Chen, without actually making him fulfill the bet in front of so many people.
"You two must be tired, go to the back and get some water, grab something to eat. Everyone who has completed the task is back there."
Lin Xinglan responded, glanced sideways at Duan Chen, and cautiously approached him, whispering,
"Company Commander Duan... I, I’ve completed the task."
Duan Chen replied coolly.
Lin Xinglan swallowed, her large, spirited eyes flickering evasively before finally she raised her head and fixed her eyes on Duan Chen,
"Before, I joined Xilin because of my dad’s influence, without any dreams or goals, but now, it’s different."
Duan Chen’s eyebrows twitched.
"My goal is to be a little stronger than I was yesterday, every day, not to drag everyone behind, not to waste this spot at Xilin Military Academy. Company Commander Duan, believe in me!"
"Go have some water, your lips are dry and white."
Just that one sentence was enough to thrill Lin Xinglan!
The person who should have been exhausted suddenly perked up like injected with adrenaline, joyfully hopping and skipping toward the back, completely forgetting the foot injury.
Song Lili in the back watched, feeling that Lin Xinglan was... adorable.
Just didn’t know how long her innocence and cuteness would last.
Song Lili walked up to Lu Ziqing and asked softly, "The twenty-first position... is there still a chance?"
Lu Ziqing looked at Song Lili, smiled,
This smile truly unsettled Song Lili deep inside.
Lu Ziqing just smiled, and Song Lili didn’t feel it appropriate to ask more, so she went to the back.
In a tent that had been set up temporarily, twenty classmates had already completed the task before her. Regardless of the final result, these twenty probably felt at ease, right...
Including Shen Lingxi.
"Qing Luo! Bian Yiyi! Which number did you guys finish at?"
"Wow, who was faster than you guys?"
As Lin Xinglan saw Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi, she instantly became very chummy and started chatting, not minding at all that Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi had left her behind to go support Song Lili.
"Su Ru was first, then Hansbo and Yang Xu, followed by Feng Hua."
Lin Xinglan responded and picked up a bottle of mineral water on the side, handing it to Tang Xiaohua who came in later.
Tang Xiaohua took the bottle of mineral water and went to sit next to Shen Lingxi.
Lin Xinglan couldn’t understand this move and was about to go over when Song Lili gestured with her hand, so Lin Xinglan reluctantly sat next to Qing Luo.
Shen Lingxi too was physically and mentally exhausted, but the fatigue from the selection no longer troubled her; she felt nothing but nagging unease.
Especially after Tang Xiaohua voluntarily sat next to her.
"Let what happened on Luqing Mountain end there; you’re smart enough to understand that, right?"
Listening to Song Lili’s words, Shen Lingxi felt puzzled.
At that time, was Tang Xiaohua really unconscious, or was it fake...
"Heh... so you are afraid of people digging deeper."
