Chapter 24: Harming Others and Not Benefiting Yourself
"Didn't you eat? You only have this little strength, and you're still a soldier. You're not even as good as a woman!"
"Ah, you are murdering me, why are you using so much force? Can you pinch me? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but training doesn't work, and pinching my shoulders doesn't work either. I really don't know what you can accomplish..."
In the dormitory, Xu Yan's unique loud voice could be heard from time to time. He was picking on Luo Yifei, who was pinching his shoulders from behind, and he brought up everything that Luo Yifei had done to him yesterday.
Luo Yifei's face was long, veins throbbing on his forehead, he hated Xu Yan so much that his teeth were itching. Look at this guy's smug face. It would have been fine if he just asked him to pinch his shoulders and pat his back, but he kept complaining about it. If he wasn't afraid of being punished to run ten laps tomorrow, he would have quit long ago. Why would he have to put up with his bullshit?
Luo Yifei was trying his best to endure it, while his roommates watched with interest. Yuan Guoqing even said with a smile, "Yifei, what's going on? Didn't you say you had already subdued Xu Yan? Why are you giving him a back massage now?"
Luo Yifei cursed in his heart, but refused to admit defeat. He said stubbornly: "We are all comrades-in-arms and revolutionary comrades. We should give and take. Yesterday Xu Yan helped me massage my shoulders and back, so of course I have to return the favor today."
cut!
A group of people curled their lips in disbelief, and some even raised their middle fingers, sneering at Luo Yifei's words. Bullshit , look at his disgusting look as if he had eaten shit, if you say he did it voluntarily, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
As expected, as if responding to everyone's thoughts, after instructing Luo Yifei to massage his shoulders, back and legs, Xu Yan was unwilling to stop, and pointed at his dirty clothes and said, "Go wash my dirty clothes too!"
Luo Yifei couldn't take it anymore, and glared at Xu Yan and said, "Xu Yan, don't go too far. Yesterday I asked you to massage my shoulders and back, and now I'm giving it all back to you. Don't push your luck."
"I just like to push my luck. Are you dissatisfied?" Xu Yan glanced at Luo Yifei, ignoring his angry look, and said, "Don't act like you're wronged. Just say whether you want to do it or not."
“No!”
Xu Yan narrowed his eyes and confirmed again, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Okay, then you just wait to run ten laps as punishment tomorrow!" Xu Yan said lightly, got up from the stool, walked to his bed, pressed his hands on the edge of the bed, jumped up, and ignored Luo Yifei.
Luo Yifei was stunned for a moment, his expression changed twice, he was a little worried in his heart, but he refused to show weakness, "Running is fine, it's just ten laps, who's afraid of who!"
"Are you two serious?" Yuan Guoqing looked at Xu Yan, then at Luo Yifei, and asked uncertainly. Seeing that the two of them remained silent, he gave them a thumbs up and said, "Well done, you are really manly. I give you a thumbs up!"
"Don't give in, you two." The other comrades echoed. A group of people said this, but no one took it to heart and did not think that the two would take it seriously.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. The next day, Xu Yan did as he said and still deliberately did not fold the quilt properly. The result was naturally without a doubt. Both of them were punished to run ten laps.
When Luo Yifei heard the order to run as punishment, his face turned pale, and everyone in the dormitory changed color as well. They stared at Xu Yan with strange expressions. No one expected that he would play like this.
After running ten laps, the rest time was over. The two were sweating and panting. Xu Yan was better. Although he was sweating and panting, he was in good spirits. He even had time to look at Luo Yifei provocatively. Luo Yifei was miserable. He was exhausted like a dog. He kept sticking out his tongue and looking at Xu Yan with fear and helplessness. This guy was a lunatic. He was cruel to others and to himself. He even risked himself to make trouble for him.
Not only did he think so, other comrades in the dormitory were also afraid of Xu Yan. Seeing Luo Yifei's miserable appearance, many of them couldn't help but shrink their necks. They secretly made up their minds that they must not offend Xu Yan. This guy was a lunatic. He didn't care about his life when he was bullying people. He killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of his own. He was a typical person who harmed others without benefiting himself.
Sun Xin had been watching from the side. When he saw Xu Yan and Luo Yifei finish running, he secretly calculated the time and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. The physical fitness and speed of these two people were not like those of new recruits at all. Luo Yifei's physical fitness was already outstanding , but Xu Yan was even more abnormal than him.
Sun Xin thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and said: "Good physical fitness."
"Just average, third in the world." Xu Yan said without any modesty, breathing heavily, his throat almost on fire, and he actually still had the mind to retort.
Seeing that Xu Yan still dared to talk back, Sun Xin's face became serious and he said, "If you don't fold the quilt properly tomorrow, you will be punished to run fifteen laps!"
Hearing this, everyone in Class Three was shocked. Luo Yifei shuddered even more. Today, he had only run ten laps, but it almost cost him half his life. If he had run fifteen laps, he would have to explain himself.
During the break in training, Luo Yifei became completely obedient and responded to Xu Yan's every request, such as massaging his shoulders, back and legs, and even doing laundry. He was completely made to lose his temper.
Luo Yifei had just come back from washing his clothes when Xu Yan pointed at his shoes and said bossily, "Go, wash my shoes too!"
Luo Yifei glared at Xu Yan fiercely, suppressed his anger, took his stinky shoes out again, went to the faucet and started brushing them.
After finally brushing the shoes and hanging them out to dry, Luo Yifei wiped the sweat off his face and said weakly, "The shoes have been brushed, are you satisfied now? Can you fold the quilt properly tomorrow?"
"Not bad." Xu Yan first gave affirmation, then changed the subject and said, "As for folding the quilt, it depends on your performance tomorrow."
After doing so much, Xu Yan still didn't let go. Luo Yifei couldn't help but burst out, angrily said: "Xu Yan, don't go too far, I just asked you to massage your shoulders, back and legs, not only did you let me do all these, you also asked me to help you wash your clothes and brush your shoes, what else do you want?"
"Didn't I tell you that it's not so easy to take advantage of me? I will make you pay me back double." Xu Yan said with a grin. This guy holds a grudge because the regiment commander rejected his self-recommendation and kicked him out of the army. He even made up a lie that he was the other party's son-in-law. Yesterday, Luo Yifei asked him to massage his shoulders and back. It would be strange if he would let it go!
"Xu Yan, I'm telling you, don't go too far. Even rabbits bite when they're angry. If you push me to the limit, I'll just break up with you and let's run 15 laps together tomorrow. If I don't feel good, you won't feel good either."
"Okay, let's give it a try. Humph, I hate being threatened the most. Since you said so, I will deliberately not fold it. Let's run fifteen laps tomorrow to see who can't hold on first. I estimate that I can run twenty or thirty laps without any problem. I should be able to hold on for a few days. But you..." Xu Yan paused, glanced at Luo Yifei , and then said doubtfully: "I wonder if you can pass the level tomorrow?"
"You..." Luo Yifei glared at Xu Yan angrily, feeling so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
During the argument, neither of them noticed that the squad leader Sun Xin appeared silently outside the window. When he heard Xu Yan's arrogant words, his face suddenly became strange. He coughed and walked into the dormitory.
