“You’re a team. One person is not enough to represent the team’s honor. You feel that you’re caring about your classmates but have you considered the consequences?”
This reprimanding was done very casually. It was like a casual conversation that occurred in a cafeteria of the military.
But to Ye Ying, she couldn’t accept it. Any reprimanding she got because of Ye Jian was a humiliation to her.
Her eyes turned red. She replied instantly, “I’m sorry. I was too anxious. I didn’t think of the implications.”
“Don’t make the same mistake again. Go back to your position.” The officer didn’t think that this young lady was bad. After all, she admitted her mistake voluntarily and had a good attitude. He knew about the student with the heart disease in Class One.
Ye Ying went back to her position and wiped her tears. She bit her lips and slowly raised her head. She wouldn’t admit defeat. She wouldn’t admit defeat to that wicked girl! She must bear with it.
Ye Jian wasn’t surprised by her actions. A smart person would be able to find a way out of every mistake. Ye Ying was always good with this.
Now, Ye Ying wasn’t a worthy opponent. What would happen in the future? She was really anticipating it.
The officer asked Ye Jian to stand behind him. He blew the whistle and shouted coldly, “Everyone, listen to my command. Eyes right!”
Four instructors stared at the students intently. Luo Ran was still pinned on the ground by the other officer. The students looked around them and started to calm down. They arranged themselves and looked to the right. Their lines weren’t straight but their postures were right.
“I understand that the rank is important to you. We want to have a good rank too. But, if you broke apart because of rank, you’re harming yourself.”
“Those students that feel that the last student will drag you down, are you willing to come up and let the instructors inspect you?”
“The female student who said that there was something wrong with this student’s ‘at ease’ position can come up too. I’m sure that you are well-versed in all the exercises.”
In the military, your ability speaks for you. If you were strong enough, you could be arrogant. If not, you must lay low! No one cared who you were before you entered the military. Once you went in, you must obey orders!
If you were incapable but still chose to disobey your instructors, you would be punished severely.
He couldn’t punish the students severely so he would show the students who would drag them down.
Six male students and four female students stood up. Ye Ying was frightened. Her body was extremely tense.
She didn’t practice every day but she participated in the morning exercises. That wicked girl only practiced for half an hour. She didn’t believe that she was worse than Ye Jian.
She straightened her back due to her new confidence. She even consoled the lady beside her. “What are you afraid of? Even I’m not afraid. You’ve practiced for four days but she only practiced for less than a day.”
