Chapter 21: A well-folded quilt cannot save your life
Being stared at by Xu Yan with sidelong eyes and hearing his strange tone, Jiang Danian suddenly became nervous. He followed Xu Yan's gaze and saw that Xu Yan was staring at a corner of his quilt. Thinking there was something wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward to tidy it up and said timidly, "This corner is a little uneven..."
Xu Yan shook his head, waved his hand towards Jiang Danian, and said, "Take him back!"
Jiang Danian felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly took the quilt back, carefully placed it on the bed, and neatly arranged it. Then he stood aside with his hands folded.
Seeing Xu Yan asking Jiang Danian to bring the quilt and then put it back, the group of people were confused and even more confused. They had no idea what he was up to. Just when Sun Xin was about to ask, Xu Yan spoke again. This time he pointed at Yuan Guoqing and said, "You, bring the quilt down!"
Because of the example of Jiang Danian, Yuan Guoqing did not say much. He took the quilt down as he was told, placed it on the central stool, and tidied it up carefully. Then he stood aside and waited for Xu Yan to speak.
"The quilt is folded well!" Xu Yan said again, with the same words, the same look, and the same tone.
"Is there any problem?" Yuan Guoqing asked blankly.
" Take it back!"
Xu Yan frowned and shouted. He called two people in a row, but he didn't hear the answer he wanted. Xu Yan was also a little speechless. He looked at Luo Yifei again, "You, carry the quilt to the stool!"
"Why?" Luo Yifei rolled his eyes and was not so obedient.
"Just hug me when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Xu Yan scolded. Seeing Luo Yifei doing as he was told, he glanced at the quilt and repeated once again, "The quilt is folded nicely!"
Luo Yifei looked at his quilt and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. He twitched the corners of his lips and said, "It's okay!"
Hearing this, Xu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. He called three people in a row, waiting for this kind of answer. Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, he had to make do with it. After all, although this answer was not too confident, it was much better than Jiang Daniu's shyness and Yuan Guoqing's suspicion.
But Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, kicked the stool over, and the quilt on it rolled to the ground. He kicked the stool and scolded him, "It's okay, you are so proud of yourself. Let me tell you, all this is bullshit. When you are on the battlefield and encounter danger, a well-folded quilt will not save your life!"
The angry roar echoed in the ears, and the entire dormitory was dead silent. No one expected Xu Yan to be like this. Everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was so angry.
After a moment of silence, Luo Yifei was the first to react. He looked at his quilt that was kicked to the ground, then looked at Xu Yan and asked, "Why did you kick my quilt? Are you crazy?"
Xu Yan turned a deaf ear to his words and turned to look at Sun Xin. Facing his gloomy face, he smiled and said, "Report to the squad leader, the special forces' housekeeping failure handling method drill is complete!"
The drill is complete!
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, then they realized that this guy was not crazy, but was giving a demonstration. Everyone's eyes met, looking at Xu Yan, looking at Luo Yifei, and then looking at Sun Xin, everyone had a very strange expression on their face. This guy is a toad fucking a frog, he doesn't look fancy but he plays with it!
"You can't kick my quilt even during the drill!" Luo Yifei shouted.
"Since this is a rehearsal, there must be props. Your blanket is a prop. What's wrong with me kicking it? I'm a professional actor, and it's common for me to be slapped. I just kicked your blanket, but you're still nagging here. What if I kicked you?" Xu Yan curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What's the big deal? Really, you don't even have the spirit of devoting yourself to art!"
Luo Yifei was dumbfounded. Sun Xin's forehead was throbbing with veins. He suppressed his surging anger and said coldly: "The drill was good!"
"It's no big deal. Let me tell you, I have studied the self-cultivation of actors. This level of demonstration is a piece of cake for me..."
Seeing that Xu Yan did not fold the quilt and was not only unrepentant but also shamelessly showing off here, Sun Xin was immediately furious, "This is not a drama academy, let alone a special forces unit. This is the Wild Wolf Regiment, the second platoon and third squad of the recruit company. Your theory doesn't work here."
Why!
Facing Sun Xin's anger, Xu Yan shook his head and sighed, saying with regret: "This is the difference between ordinary troops and special forces. Ordinary troops focus most of their energy on trivial matters such as housekeeping, while special forces have only one goal, which is to concentrate all their time and constantly train to become stronger and stronger..."
"Do you know a lot about special forces?"
"It's so-so. I know everything I need to know."
Xu Yan said casually, and he was being modest, but there was no trace of modesty in his expression and posture. That tired posture made Sun Xin angry again. He was about to have a good argument with him, but suddenly he noticed that Xu Yan's lips were slightly raised. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses. Now they were discussing housekeeping issues, punishing Xu Yan for not folding the quilt, not discussing with him the difference between ordinary companies and special forces.
With this thought, Sun Xin quickly calmed down, thinking back to the previous conversation, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. From the moment he agreed to Xu Yan's demonstration, he had fallen into Xu Yan's trap, being led by the nose without knowing it, and in the end, he was almost led into a ditch.
"This kid is really not simple. Not only is he excellent in military aspects, but he is also good at psychological application. He can't be regarded as a new recruit at all, but the most cunning opponent." Sun Xin felt awe in his heart and his evaluation of Xu Yan improved a few points.
But since he had seen through Xu Yan's thoughts, he certainly would not continue to be fooled. He changed his mind and deliberately said, "You said that on the battlefield, a well-folded quilt cannot save your life, then what can save your life?"
"Strength!" Xu Yan said proudly, thinking that he had convinced Sun Xin!
"Where does strength come from?" Sun Xin asked again.
"Let's go for training..." This time Xu Yan only said half of it and stopped, obviously sensing something was wrong.
But it was too late to react now. Sun Xin took over his words and said, "That's right. Bao Jianfeng has become strong through hard training. In order to give you a better chance of survival in the future, I decided to increase the intensity of your training." At this point, Sun Xin smiled and said word by word, "Cancel the rest time!"
Ha ha!
Seeing that Xu Yan had made a mess of things and was punished more severely by the squad leader, a group of comrades burst into laughter.
"You shot yourself in the foot, you deserve it!" Luo Yifei laughed, and he was the most proud smileer among the crowd.
Sun Xin glanced at him and saw that his blanket was askew. Seeing that everyone was laughing happily, his face darkened and he said, "It's funny, isn't it? Everyone, the break is cancelled and you have to run five laps around the playground as punishment!"
The cheerful laughter suddenly stopped, and everyone walked towards the door with bitter faces.
"Haha..." This time it was Xu Yan's turn to laugh. Although he was also punished, he was not alone. At least he had everyone with him.
"Don't be so complacent. Five laps are just a punishment. You still have to do your housework. If there is a next time, I will punish you." Sun Xin glared at Xu Yan and supervised everyone to go to the playground.
So, during the recruits' break, everyone in Class 3 came to the playground and began to run laps unwillingly. They all stared at Xu Yan with bad eyes. Luo Yifei even shouted, "Xu Yan, you black sheep, just wait for me!"
