After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 47: Chapter 22 A Stumble Triggered Bloodshed_3

Lu Zexian was about to speak again when Fang Huai pinched him once more.

If you keep talking, it’ll double.

"Yes... Squad Leader." Lu Zexian deflated.

"Louder!"

"YES! Squad Leader!"

Only then did Hao Chengbin glance at his watch: "Hurry up and do it! It’s 5:49 now! In 41 minutes, I’ll check Internal Affairs! For any unqualified blankets... hmm, just you wait!"

"Oh, my goodness!"

Yue Tao saw his blanket, which had been casually tossed to the top bunk by the door by Hao Chengbin and was almost completely unfolded, quickly picked up the pace, while Fang Huai and the other new recruits also hurriedly carried on with their tasks.

"Slow down!" Lu Zexian’s hand was yanked hard, and he winced in pain. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Yue Tao finally remembered one thing: no matter how fast he worked, he was still tied to Lu Zexian.

So he half-heartedly pleaded, "Squad Leader! Can we untie the rope? My blanket’s all scattered!"

Hao Chengbin neatly folded his own blanket in a brisk manner, turned around and said, "Weren’t you guys all tough just now? Why untie it? Stay tied! Get more familiar with each other! If you’re still not familiar enough by noon, I’ll have you both clean the toilet together! Come find me when you’re willing to apologize to each other!"

Yue Tao’s face soured as he said, "I wasn’t squabbling with him! It was all him doing the squabbling!"

After speaking, he turned his head, "Lu Zexian! You may not want to be a soldier, but I do!"

Lu Zexian was still a bit defiant but didn’t dare to speak out.

Immediately, Yue Tao relaxed his expression, shamelessly saying, "Brother Lu! I apologize to you, okay? I’m sorry for dragging you down!"

Lu Zexian was stunned, and even Hao Chengbin silently chuckled.

"What did you just call me?" Lu Zexian asked for confirmation.

"Lu Zexian, don’t go too far, I’ve already said I’m sorry!" Yue Tao showed his displeasure.

All of a sudden, Lu Zexian felt like the anger he had harbored before was like punching cotton. To him, Yue Tao, who seemed like an annoying kid, had naturally let go, while he was still harboring grudges.

And he was almost making a big fuss about it, even to the higher-ups.

It was false to say he didn’t want to be a soldier. What could a high school student with no special skills do in society?

His father told him that only by joining the army could he go back home, pull some strings through his uncle, and get a job in a state-owned enterprise that relaxed the educational requirements for discharged soldiers.

Of course, if you asked Fang Huai, with Lu Zexian’s height and some more training, he certainly could stand his ground in the market of wealthy older women.

Getting a wealthy "baby" and rising to the top wasn’t impossible either.

"Ahem." Lu Zexian said with an embarrassed face,

"I’m sorry to you, Yue Tao. I misunderstood you. You are stronger than me... Squad Leader, I’m sorry, I won’t criticize him anymore. The one who was dragging us down was me, I accept the punishment."

"A promising young person, untie them!"

Hao Chengbin wore a contented expression, but he felt a little guilty just a moment ago.

Taking them tied up to the training field would be hard to explain if the leadership asked about it.

Disciplining new soldiers is like beating your wife behind closed doors; as long as you resolve the issues before you step outside, no matter how loud the commotion, it doesn’t matter, but it shouldn’t be brought to formal settings.

Of course, considering the fierce nature of women in the Southwest region, comparing it to sneaky husbands looking for a beating behind closed doors might be more suitable.

Hao Chengbin tidied up his blanket and then left the room. The moment he opened the door, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The scolding session had finally ended.

But then Hao Chengbin remembered something and turned back with a frown,

"Peng Yingqirui, I forgot to mention you. Here’s another warning! If I catch you dodging your duty to fold blankets again and napping instead, next time, no one will suffer the punishment with you!"

Peng Yingqirui nodded with a gloomy face, filled with righteous indignation.

Everyone seems to be showing off, while I’m the only one getting beat up!

He looked at his disheveled blanket.

"Brother Fang, save me!"

Fang Huai sat leisurely on the bed’s edge with a strip of bamboo, raised his eyebrows and said,

"The Buddha said: ’Whoever seeks to save others, must first save himself... I’m busy!’
