The playground was hot in the afternoon, and the sun shone hotly on the unsheltered playground, and a group of soldiers formed circle after circle.
This was the first time that Lian Qing had heard that such a review was required to enter the Special Forces, and he couldn’t help but feel a little sweat for their weak Comrade Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Jing stood in the middle of the crowd, receiving kind eyes from all directions. Would she be beaten to death?
Shen Chengfeng was still wrapped up like a rice dumpling as he entered the playground in a mighty manner. As the current captain of the special forces team, of course he had the ability to blow up the sky, just like this, he shocked the audience without any accident. Not a single soldier dared to say a word.
“Do you know why I appeared here?” Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Jing stared at him intently, her own shadow reflected on the surface of the sunglasses, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this face was a bit guilty.
Shen Chengfeng circled Xiao Jing twice, his upright figure was not affected by him at all, as if he was fixed here, if it wasn’t for the slight movement of his hair when the wind came, he would have thought it was a statue, not flesh and blood.
Xiao Jing swallowed her saliva, not sure why he was looking at her like this, she could feel her blood rising, she was afraid that if this stalemate continued, even if she didn’t get sunstroke, she would be crushed by the opponent’s aura and faint past.
“In order not to be accused of bullying the weak by the strong, I will give you a chance to do a hundred pull-ups. Do you dare to do it?”
“What?” Xiao Jing thought she was hallucinating and blurted out.
Shen Chengfeng stopped and took off his sunglasses, his deep eyes were like ice and snow, instantly extinguishing the heat of the scorching sun in this July day, the surrounding wind suddenly rose, and the sky was filled with sand and dust.
Shen Chengfeng raised one hand, and his fingertips landed straight on the two-meter-high horizontal bar behind the crowd, “Let’s get started.”
Xiao Jing looked back three times with each step, it’s that simple?
Shen Chengfeng looked at the backswing quickly in a leisurely manner, and after doing two pull-ups in a row, Xiao Jing, who was physically weak, began to pant, and hooked her fingers at Lian Qing.
Lian Qing hurried forward, waiting for the officer’s order.
Shen Chengfeng’s voice was as cold as ever, “You’ll supervise, one hundred.”
The corners of Lian Qing’s mouth twitched slightly, let alone one hundred pull-ups, even if it was just twenty, she would be exhausted and out of breath. Wasn’t this thinking about Xiao Jing’s life?
Xiao Jing was hung on the horizontal bar, her eyes had begun to glow, and she felt that she was going to be unable to hold on.
“Add ten more at a time, until it’s done.” The man’s cold voice was sonorous and powerful, wandering on the playground.
Xiao Jing grasped the horizontal bar vigorously, for fear that she would fall off if she shook her body.
Lian Qing stood under the horizontal bar, powerless and said: “Xiao Xiao, you have to hold on, if you pass this hurdle, we can enter the Special Forces with honor, you have to know that it is the elite force of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons, others can’t get in even if they do a thousand, you only need to do a hundred.”
Xiao Jing’s arms began to tremble slightly, and she glanced at the sarcastic Lian Qing, why don’t you come up and try? If you make it to ten, I’ll carry your shoes.
“Captain, this doesn’t seem to be in compliance with the rules.” Mu Xichi whispered while standing behind Shen Chengfeng.
Shen Chengfeng gave him a sideways glance, and said indifferently, “Rules? Are there any rules in my team?”
Mu Xichi turned silent. Indeed, in Shen Chengfeng’s Iron Eagles team, the only rule was to obey orders.
“You watch them carefully, if he does one less, you will be fined a hundred more.” Shen Chengfeng put on his sunglasses, then he turned around and left gracefully.
Mu Xichi frowned slightly, no matter how you look at it, it looks like their captain was deliberately embarrassing Second Lieutenant Xiao.
Even if he could complete these one hundred pull-ups, he would probably lose half of his life after finishing them.
The sun was scorching the earth in full swing, and Xiao Jing was hung on the horizontal bar with dry mouth and tongue. This time, not only her hands had begun to tremble, but her body also convulsed. She could hardly feel her own breathing. Her lungs seemed to be burning with fire, and her heart began to ache from the burning.
“Xiao Jing, there are fifty more, you can’t give up.” Lian Qing shouted standing under the horizontal bar.
Xiao Jing’s eyes began to blur, and all the sounds around her seemed to be automatically blocked by her ears. She could only hear her own rough breathing, and every breath was painful.
“Xiao Jing, I heard that your fifth younger brother Xiao Ye has just been promoted as the youngest major general in the empire.” Mother’s words echoed in her ears, repeating like a curse.
“Mom doesn’t ask you to make great achievements. Even if you are treated as a waste of our Xiao family, you have to remember it well. Five years will pass soon. When you return from retirement, mother will take you away from the imperial capital. It doesn’t matter if people look down on you.”
The waste of the Xiao family had become the biggest joke of the entire Xiao family, and was abandoned by the entire Xiao family.
No, not reconciled, so what if she, Xiao Jing, was just a woman? Why should she be inferior? Unwilling, very unwilling!
Lian Qing stared straight at her eyes in disbelief, what happened to Xiao Jing who suddenly looked like she had been injected with chicken blood? Xiao Jing, who was half-dead just now, suddenly completed this series of pull-ups with the most perfect movements one after another. The last fifty could be said to be done in one go, without any sloppiness. Look at his smooth movements, as if making another hundred would be not an issue.
“Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!”
One hundred had been completed, but Xiao Jing had no intention of stopping for a moment, and continued to hold the horizontal bar tightly, holding her head high every time, sweat dripped from her fair forehead, drip by drop, and wet her entire shirt.
“Enough, enough, Xiao Jing, enough.” Lian Qing saw that her eyes were dull, and she was obviously exhausted.
“Not enough, not enough, I can still do it, I can still do it, this is not my limit, not enough, not enough at all.” Xiao Jing’s mind seemed to be wound up, and the mechanical gears continued to rotate.
“Boom!”
At two hundred and three, Xiao Jing fell from the horizontal bar on her back and lay straight on the ground, her hands and feet too stiff to bend.
Lian Qing hurriedly picked her up, poured a bottle of water over her head, kept patting her unresponsive face, and asked anxiously: “What’s the matter? Do you know who I am?”
Xiao Jing heard the voice, the dense mist in her eyes gradually dissipated, and a face close at hand slowly became clear, she pointed at him, “Turned into ashes, we all know him.”
