Moreover, last year they were brought over by a big-deal Big Team leader from the city district, but this ti Chief Fang personally made the call, and there was even an August First dal recipient accompanying him. Could it be the sa?
This soldier will probably need a lot of attention from now on.
However, Fang Huai walked over to Chen Shuang, put an arm around him, and, pointing at the parallel bars in the corner of the courtyard, said with a chuckle:
"Instructor Xue, Team Leader Zhou! Please help entertain his parents for a bit. Chen Shuang is planning to take exams this year and might be transferring to Kunming Academy to hit the books. I’m going to take him over there to see if he ets the physical ability standards first!"
"Sure, sure!"
The two officers, upon hearing this, inwardly clicked their tongues in admiration.
A military academy, after all, has the best study environnt in the province!
Their request really stands out!
Captain Zhao from Firefighting laughed and said, "Captain Fang, don’t take off at noon! I’ve already called our Sun Da, and he’ll be coming over for lunch too!"
As the three chatted, they went their separate ways from Fang Huai and Chen Shuang.
After walking a distance, Instructor Xue from the People’s Ard Police looked back at Fang Huai’s retreating figure and said with confusion:
"Hey, Captain Zhao! Your Captain Fang is in his second year too, right? Sa year as Chen Shuang! And he’s going to test Chen Shuang’s physical ability? Is he really that good?
Captain Zhao burst into laughter imdiately: "Old Xue, doesn’t your Squadron always challenge us on the Five Kiloters? Why don’t you get so of your top soldiers to take him on? If they can beat him, I’ll lose you a pack of cigarettes! How about that?"
Team Leader Zhou stopped in his tracks and crossed his arms.
"Oh, he’s that tough?
"Haha..."
Captain Zhao laughed again, bolstered by having a tough newcor in Firefighting, and said loudly:
"This guy, his second year is not like the others! You see, we’ve been learning from him even before he received the August First dal! You think it’s just about being a decorated hero? Last September, at the national Firefighting Grand Martial Arts Competition, he was champion! You know our Ironman Quadrathlon, you’ve tried it when you trained with us, right? It’s brutal, isn’t it?"
The two nodded upon hearing this.
Proudly, Captain Zhao continued: "The mont he took part, national record! I rember when your Squadron first challenged us to this event, wasn’t there no one breaking 5 minutes? Anyone completing it was considered a sharpshooter! You know his ti? 4 minutes and 10 seconds!"
"Damn... f*ck ."
The three looked back again at the figure in the distance.
That silhouette grew ever more mysterious.
By now, standing beneath the bars, Fang Huai was taunting Chen Shuang like a critic:
"What, only ten?
"You little trash, you didn’t even hit the passing mark, dammit!"
Chen Shuang’s face darkened.
"We don’t just train physical ability! We also train in shooting, grenade throwing, tactics, and capturing combatants! I haven’t even settled the score with you for screwing around with your aunt, and here you are, just a f*cking firefighter who only knows how to run! Bet you won’t believe I can beat you up?"
Fang Huai turned his head and chuckled. "I’ll give you a three-move head start. If you can’t beat , at ho you’ll call ’bro,’ but outside, you’ll call ’bro.’ How about that?"
The mont Chen Shuang heard this, he got fired up again:
"F*ck you, who’s part of your family? Goddammit, I’m going to smash your skull!"
With that, he stepped back and launched a kick.
...
seconds later, Chen Shuang was pinned down hard on the ground by Fang Huai, slapping it in agony.
"Let go, let go!"
Fang Huai then broke into a grin, stood up, dusted off his coat, and said:
"With those pathetic skills, the captain of your Kunming Academy Free-Combat Team went up against in the ring and I knocked him out cold. Train for a few more decades before trying to play with ! Now, call ’bro,’ you hear that?"
Chen Shuang stood up, looking at the dust on his body, his face filled with resentnt.
"You motherf... I’ll go find Yang Shaoqing, no, I’ll find my mom! She can definitely control her!"
With that said, he started towards the Squadron Building at a quick pace.
Fang Huai’s expression changed.
He hurried forward, grabbed Chen Shuang with both hands, and dragged him back while chuckling:
"’Bro,’ you are my bro! My mistake, I apologize, is that not enough?"
Chen Shuang cursed as he went, "Call ’Dad’!"
"You son of a..." Fang Huai glared. "In a bit, I’ll call Yang Shaoqing over, and you see if she agrees to call ’bro’ too. If she gets angry and tells to hit you, I’m enforcing the rules on behalf of authority! Not even your parents will intervene, you believe ?"
Chen Shuang was stuck.
His bravado had thoroughly vanished.
The main issue causing his brain to loop was one question.
If Yang Shaoqing called him ’Dad,’ then what would he be to his own father?
...
"Beep—beep!"
"Ti to eat!"
Barely half an hour into their conversation by the single bars, the crisp sound of a whistle ca from the building.
"Let’s go, ti to assemble."
Chen Shuang patted his backside, stood up, and looked at his brother, whose entire person and family had changed trendously, still shaking off the awe after a full half hour.
In that half hour, Fang Huai shared with him the things he had done over the year. One year of life was more exciting than his entire twenty years prior.
Probably in a few more years, the distance between them would grow larger and larger, so much so that they wouldn’t intersect, and their relationship would gradually drift apart.
But for now, because of Yang Shaoqing, they were tightly bound together.
Chen Shuang was actually quite pleased with this brother-in-law; he was worthy of Yang Shaoqing.
But looking at the gathering crowd in the distance, he couldn’t help but say annoyedly:
"You get to take vacations in your first year! Over here, even third-year soldiers have to queue up for vacation! A 10% presence rate, rolling on the whole year long!"
Fang Huai laughed and said:
"Don’t worry, I’ve already made the arrangents. After lunch, I’ll take a leave to hang out with your parents for a few hours.
Once you transfer to Kunming, it will be convenient. You can use a cell phone, and it’s easier to request leave. As for the rest, there’s not much I can do. The matter of applying to the Military Academy is on you to give it your best effort.
Your family doesn’t have that much money, and even though Yang Shaoqing doesn’t need money under my watch, when you really enter society, it definitely won’t be enough for your spending. But if you make it as an officer, you can buy a fancy car and a big house locally; you won’t have to worry about food or clothes, that should suffice."
