Chapter 28 Chu Zhao: Do you really think I have no temper? [Please read on! Please comment! Please
Upon hearing this...
Chu Zhao didn't say anything, but silently walked to the corner of the wall and lay down next to Li Jiahao.
The coldness of the terrazzo floor immediately seeped through his palms and spread to every corner of Chu Zhao's body.
If it weren't for Ye Pengfei deliberately targeting him, Chu Zhao would have quite enjoyed this feeling.
Ten years of military service had already ingrained the concept of "training" into Chu Zhao's blood, making it an instinct of his body.
Chu Zhao's seemingly carefree but actually extremely competitive nature allowed him to reap his own sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from the high-intensity training that many others would shy away from.
Since becoming a veteran, no one has ever supervised Chu Zhao's training.
Chu Zhao relied entirely on his almost strict self-discipline and perseverance to gradually surpass the entire detachment in physical fitness, becoming the detachment's mainstay.
Even after becoming the deputy squad leader, squad leader, and platoon leader, Chu Zhao never relaxed his training.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to pass the quality assessment during the exam, let alone achieve second place in the overall score during the brigade's grand competition!
Even Ye Pengfei, the class monitor, was unaware of this.
His "prejudice" against Chu Zhao did not actually stem from those one or two lukewarm retorts.
Instead, Ye Pengfei, as a soldier, subconsciously discovered the aura of "kind" in Chu Zhao and sensed the pride that Chu Zhao had deep in his bones!
The reason he repeatedly targeted Chu Zhao was not only to get revenge, but also because he was driven by his military instincts and wanted to find the root of Chu Zhao's arrogance!
Ye Pengfei was somewhat surprised to see Chu Zhao obediently lie down.
In his mind, Chu Zhao should be angry, should protest, and should talk back to him.
That's what a troublemaker should do!
But now, Chu Zhao neither argued nor explained.
He simply leaned against the wall with his thin arms, his body straight. He didn't twist and turn like Sun Qiang, nor did he hunch over like Li Jiahao, trying to save energy. Instead, he used a standard posture that even Ye Pengfei couldn't fault, firmly supporting his entire body!
It seemed that Chu Zhao had his own standards for push-ups, or rather, for training in general.
The reason he was so serious was not because he wanted Ye Pengfei's praise and recognition, but because he didn't want to fool himself with the standards he had set for himself!
Ye Pengfei remained silent, gazing at Chu Zhao and the other two with increasingly complex expressions, seemingly lost in thought.
Time passed slowly.
Sun Qiang's posture became increasingly distorted. He would swing his arms behind his back and shake them from time to time, supporting his body with only one hand, trying to give his arms a break in turn. Occasionally, he would let out painful groans.
Looking at Li Jiahao, a veteran, he performed much better than Sun Qiang, but his movements were also distorted, and his forehead was covered with a dense layer of sweat.
In contrast, consider Chu Zhao.
Sweat had already pooled into a small lake on the ground in front of Chu Zhao, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably, as if he had reached the limit of his body.
Nevertheless.
Chu Zhao's posture remained as standard as ever. Even if his posture gradually changed due to his body's instincts, he would adjust it back to normal with his strong willpower once he realized it!
Throughout the entire process, Chu Zhao gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Even Ye Pengfei had to admit it.
Although Chu Zhao is a troublemaker, he's also a tough nut to crack!
Ye Pengfei even developed a fondness for his talent.
Because he knew all too well that a troublemaker like Chu Zhao, once he corrected his bad habits, could eventually transform into a "promising talent" that countless squad leaders and officers would vie for!
With this in mind.
After a long period of silence, Ye Pengfei finally made a move.
He slowly walked up to Chu Zhao and the other two, looking down at them from his superior position.
Upon seeing this.
Li Jiahao and Sun Qiang immediately raised their heads and looked at Ye Pengfei with fawning and pleading expressions.
Ye Pengfei did not respond to their pleading gazes, but stared intently at Chu Zhao, who was still looking down and shaking his arms more and more violently!
"Can't hold on any longer, can you?"
With a mischievous smile on his lips, Ye Pengfei squatted down and spoke meaningfully to Chu Zhao.
"In the military, punishment is never the goal, but a means."
"The means to help you grow and improve."
"It's okay if you can't hold on anymore, as long as you realize your mistakes..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Just a second ago, Chu Zhao was gritting his teeth and persevering when he suddenly shouted "Report!" and then stood up under the shocked and bewildered gazes of Ye Pengfei and the other two.
"Class monitor, I have realized my mistake."
Chu Zhao, panting heavily, wiped the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes, then pointed to Li Jiahao, who was still lying on the ground.
"I should have kicked him to the ground just as he was about to speak."
"Use this simplest and most direct method to help your comrades improve and correct their problems!"
"Squad leader, do you think I'm right?"
Speaking of which...
Chu Zhao finally raised his head and met Ye Pengfei's gaze, who was still somewhat bewildered.
Under Chu Zhao's gaze.
Somewhat taken aback, Ye Pengfei's lips twitched, and then he revealed an exasperated expression, roaring!
"What a load of rubbish!"
"Do you think this is the right way to help your comrades?"
Hidden within his excited words was Ye Pengfei's heartfelt anger and surprise!
Based on his observations, he had concluded that Chu Zhao was a tough nut to crack.
The best way to deal with tough nuts to crack is to use reverse psychology.
That's why Ye Pengfei said that as long as Chu Zhao recognizes his mistake, the punishment can be ended.
Don't misunderstand.
Ye Pengfei wasn't being merciful; rather, he felt that given Chu Zhao's temperament, it was impossible for him to bow his head and admit his mistake!
Besides, what did Chu Zhao and Sun Qiang do wrong?
Others might not know, but Ye Pengfei, who was deliberately picking a fight, surely knew whether the two of them were laughing or not.
Having been wronged and implicated for no reason, Ye Pengfei felt that Chu Zhao would definitely fight him to the end!
I never expected this!
Chu Zhao not only bowed his head, but also admitted that he had indeed made a mistake from a unique angle that Ye Pengfei could never have imagined.
This rendered Ye Pengfei's carefully prepared explanation useless, and a feeling of extreme frustration welled up in his chest, making him feel as if he were about to vomit blood!
Here again, here again!
That feeling again!
Ye Pengfei realized that every time he tried to "draw his sword" against Chu Zhao, Chu Zhao would retaliate in various ways, whether intentionally or unintentionally, leaving him speechless in the end!
Hey!
I just don't believe it!
I'm a dignified fourth-year sergeant, a squad leader among new recruits, and a pillar of the company. You think I can't handle a little recruit like you?
Weren't you holding up pretty well just now?
Then you just keep holding on for me!
"And did I tell you to get up?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao didn't waste any words and immediately lay down again, completely ignoring Ye Pengfei's subsequent roar.
The moment Chu Zhao bowed his head was already the biggest concession he could make.
As a soldier.
Chu Zhao is willing to accept training and obey any orders issued by Ye Pengfei.
But this has nothing to do with Ye Pengfei himself; it is because of Chu Zhao's inner awareness and beliefs.
But faced with Ye Pengfei's increasingly obvious targeting and harassment, Chu Zhao was getting really annoyed.
If we don't teach Ye Pengfei a lesson... do you really think I have no temper?
You won't let me get up, huh?
I glanced at the four pale blue characters floating deep within my consciousness.
Chu Zhao made a decision in his heart.
I'm not getting up yet!
