My Little Poplar - Chap 121

“Wu Shuyi.”

“Yes!”

“Jiang Tao!”

“Here!”

“Wei Yima.”

“Present!”

When Feng Dongyuan called this name, he couldn’t help but look twice at the recruit called Wei Yima, the boy was really good looking, he couldn’t describe it, he just thought it was particularly good looking.

Wei Yima also looked at him, his eyes were a bit cold.

Feng Dongyuan took the roll call and starts to take them through their training. A year ago, he had to switch places with the new recruits in front of him. At that time, he had just joined the army, he was so naive, he didn’t think that now, a year later, he would have the chance to be an acting instructor, if the sergeant and Fengcheng and Xinyu hadn’t gone to the try-out for the Snowleopard brigade, this special opportunity would not have been his turn. He looked at the new recruits and felt their nervous and expectant eyes and was filled with a sense of duty and purpose.

While training for the obstacle course, one of the recruits came up to him and said, “Instructor, where is our instructor Chen?”

“Oh, he’s gone for an important try-out, so I’m filling in temporarily.”

“I heard it was a try-out for the Snowleopard brigade, is that true?”

Feng Dongyuan smiled and said, “How do you know?”

“I heard people gossip about it.”

Feng Dongyuan said in a serious voice: “Don’t gossip about these things, your job is to train well.”

The soldier said with a cheeky smile: “Got it. Hey, I heard that the try-out of the Snowleopard brigade is particularly perverse…”

Feng Dongyuan felt helpless, he could tell that although he was trying hard to appear dignified, his personality was such that they soon realised that he was not strict at all, the recruits were not afraid of him. He was frustrated but soon realised that he didn’t need the recruits to be afraid of him, he was the instructor, it was his job to lead each soldier well but to scare them.

At the end of the training day, Feng Dongyuan washed his clothes and went to bed.

It’s funny to listen to the screams of the new recruits in the dormitory, it’s funny to think that he himself was exhausted by this amount of training, Xinyu is even more exaggerated, he cries and howls and refuses to train, those days seem like yesterday, looking back on them now, it just makes you smile.

He wanted to go to the toilet before going to bed, when he passed by the door, he passed by the bed of the recruit Wei Yima, he saw Wei Yima balling up his underwear and socks and throwing them into the trash.

Feng Dongyuan thought to himself, one day’s wear and they’re broken? And his feet are going to be worn out too. He walked over and said, “Wei Yima.”

Wei Yima looked up at him and said indifferently: “Yes.”

“Have you worn out your feet?”

“No.”

Feng Dongyuan sighed with relief, smiled and said: “That’s good, tell me if it’s cut, I have iodine.”

Wei Yima nodded blankly.

Feng Dongyuan didn’t think anything of it but when two days later he overheard Wei Yima throwing his underwear and socks in the trash again, he thought it was strange and said: “Wei Yima, have you wore off your underwear and socks again?”
