Chapter 80: Burn, Little Universe (Part 1)
Snap!
Xu Yan panted heavily, clenched his fists tightly, and rubbed his knuckles together, making a series of low hums.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It was as if a ball of fire was boiling in his chest, and his eyes were covered with a layer of scarlet. He whispered angrily: "This is too much, it's really too much..."
Having been in the army for so long, Xu Yan seldom really lost his temper. The few times he did, it was only because of momentary anger. His emotions came and went quickly and were quickly under control. The worst time was when he got angry at Jiang Danian, but even that time was far from comparable to this time.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The humiliation burned his soul like a raging fire. The surging anger was like the flames burning in a stove. His two nostrils were the air-blowing boxes. Every breath made the anger more intense. It seemed as if fire was coming out of all his orifices, and even the breath he exhaled seemed to be burning.
He was burning with rage, his lungs about to explode, but Luo Yifei didn't care at all. It was rare to see him being humiliated like this, so Luo Yifei would certainly not let him go easily and naturally took the opportunity to tease him.
Luo Yifei rolled his eyes, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xu Yan, you are awesome! This is the first time I have heard of a rank of trainee private in my life!"
"That's right. I've heard of trainee police officers, trainee lawyers, trainee doctors... but this trainee private soldier is the first time I've seen one. It's so unique!"
"I just noticed that among all the new recruits in our group, you are the only one with the word 'trainee' embroidered on your collar badge. This means that you are the only trainee private in our group of new recruits. That's amazing!"
"Tsk tsk, he's the first trainee private in the entire regiment, the entire military region, and even the entire country. That's really awesome! Maybe he'll go down in history and set a trend!"
"What do you mean maybe? It will definitely be recorded in history, and even sent to a museum for collection. It will be a national treasure in the future. Everyone, please pay close attention!"
"Oh, so awesome! Should I ask for an autograph in advance?"
"That is required!"
…
With Luo Yifei taking the lead, everyone immediately responded. A group of people spoke up one after another, laughing and making fun of Xu Yan, while secretly observing his expression, preparing for his counterattack.
However, unexpectedly, Xu Yan did not retort, but just glanced at everyone coldly, then retracted his gaze again and continued to immerse himself in anger .
Everyone looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Xu Yan's behavior was too strange, not like his usual self at all. With this guy's temperament of not wanting to suffer any loss, let alone being ridiculed or mocked, even if someone said something that made him unhappy, he would have ten or a hundred hurtful words waiting for you. But now he ignored everyone's sarcasm, the situation was too unusual.
Luo Yifei didn't care about that. He blinked and continued to tease, "Xu Yan, you're not so happy that you lose your mind because you set a precedent and became the first trainee private, right?"
Yuan Guoqing next to him noticed something was wrong, pulled Luo Yifei's arm, shook his head at him, and signaled to everyone with his eyes. Everyone followed his gaze and saw Xu Yan's fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, angry and suppressed.
Seeing this, several people couldn't help but worry. Although they usually teased each other, they also built a deep relationship. There was a limit to how much they joked with each other. Seeing that Xu Yan was in a bad mood, everyone naturally stopped teasing him. They closed their mouths and walked forward with concern, "Xu Yan, are you okay?"
Perhaps it was because he heard everyone's advice, or perhaps his anger had reached a critical point, Xu Yan came back to his senses from his anger, pushed away Luo Yifei who was surrounding him, and strode away.
Luo Yifei staggered and leaned on Zhao Chunlei behind him to steady himself. He stared at Xu Yan and muttered unhappily, "What are you doing? It's just a joke. Is it necessary to get angry?"
The people around him ignored him and looked at Xu Yan worriedly. Yuan Guoqing chased after him and shouted, "Xu Yan, where are you going? We're about to be divided into companies."
"I'm going to kill the company commander!"
When the sound of gnashing teeth was heard, everyone was instantly petrified and stared in astonishment for a while. By the time everyone came to their senses, Xu Yan had disappeared without a trace.
"Is this guy really going to cause trouble for the company commander?" Zhao Chunlei speculated.
"It shouldn't be." Yuan Guoqing was also a little uncertain. If it was someone else, he was sure that the other party would not dare to do it, but for Xu Yan, he couldn't guarantee it. This guy's thinking circuit was different from that of ordinary people. He might not dare to do things that others dare not do .
"Should we go and take a look?" Luo Yifei suggested, and started to chase after him. However, he was stopped after taking just two steps. The recruit period was over, the inauguration ceremony was over, but the company had not yet been divided.
The members of the third squad were absent-minded, waiting for the troops to be divided into companies. Over there, Xu Yan had already arrived outside the company commander's office. In his anger, he didn't care about . He pushed the door open and rushed in angrily.
boom!
The door was pushed open with a muffled sound, which instantly startled Tang Jue and Mo Wenyuan who were talking. Tang Jue frowned unhappily, stared at Xu Yan who was striding over, and shouted, "Who let you in?"
Xu Yan groaned, but without stopping, he walked up to him in two or three steps, pointed at his collar badge, and asked angrily, "What's going on?"
"Are you questioning me?" Tang Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget your identity!"
Xu Yan's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me ask you, what's going on?" He said "please ask", but his tone and posture did not show the slightest hint of a question. His voice was still stiff, full of interrogation.
"This is a reward for you!" Tang Jue explained.
It would have been better if he didn't explain. This explanation made Xu Yan even more angry. He panted heavily, his face twisted with anger, and said angrily: "Reward? Do you think I'm military illiterate? There is no such rank in the army. Now you give me a crappy trainee private. Is this a reward for me? Is there such a way to reward people? I think you are clearly humiliating me!"
Xu Yan's questioning attitude irritated Tang Jue. He sneered, met Xu Yan's fiery gaze, and said unceremoniously: "Think whatever you want, the rank is just that, if you don't like it, you can just take off your uniform and leave. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I really don't like you..."
"You don't like me, and I don't like you either!" Xu Yan laughed in anger and looked at him without giving in.
