Just when Murong Xue walked to Mr. Mo's dormitory and was hesitating whether she should knock on the door, Xiaosi's cry came from inside, "I hate you."

The door was opened then. Xiaosi cried and ran out while covering her face. She didn't even seem to notice Murong Xue who was standing by the door.

Murong Xue was startled. Before she could see Mr. Mo's expression, she chose to chase Xiaosi. At this time, Xiaosi's condition was more important.

Xiaosi ran all the way out. The military training base in the mountain area was large, including the entire mountain in the back. Xiaosi ran to the mountain in the back. She didn't know how far she ran. Xiaosi didn't stop under a tree until she lost sight of the dormitory.

Murong Xue caught up with her, panting. But she couldn't catch her breath for a while. But in front of her, Xiaosi was crying hysterically. Murong Xue felt sorry for her, for Xiaosi looked exactly like her when she was heartbroken back then.

She gently stepped forward and hugged Xiaosi. Xiaosi lay on her shoulders and cried for such a long time that her voice was hoarse, but she still didn't stop. Xiaosi seemed unable to restrain her tears. Murong Xue knew that she must have been heartbroken without asking. Hence, she could only accompany her quietly.

After a long time, it was four o'clock in the morning. Murong Xue held Xiaosi who already lost her voice and said softly, "Xiaosi, I will hold you to go back to have a rest, and I will ask for leave for you later."

Xiaosi didn't say anything, only letting Murong Xue help her to walk to the dormitory. It was half past four when they returned to the dormitory. People in the dormitory were still sleeping soundly. Murong Xue helped Xiaosi take off her shoes and covered her with a quilt before going to wash up. Because she had no time to sleep, the wake-up bell would ring at 5 o'clock.

As soon as Murong Xue finished washing up, the bell rang. Murong Xue looked at the people who were still sleeping on the bed. After a moment of silence, she stepped forward and called them one by one. She didn't care whether they would like to get up or not. She only confirmed that Huang Xiaofei got up and then left. She also called other people, but she still could do nothing about it if they refused to get up.

She ran all the way to the office of the Life Department and repeatedly assured the administrator that Xiaosi was indeed unwell and needed to ask for leave. It took a long time before she could leave while the administrator glanced at her coldly. Normal people wouldn't ask for leave on the second day of the military training. The administrator thought that it must be a rich girl who wanted to make an excuse to slack off. But if she was truly sick, the administrator had to allow her to ask for leave.

Murong Xue didn't care what the administrator thought of her. It would be fine as long as she could approve.

Only a small group of students gathered on the playground while the other students were still asleep in the dormitory. No matter how loud the wake-up bell was outside, it did not wake up the students who slept in.

When Murong Xue rushed to the training ground, she found that the other four people of the Gang of Five had arrived, as well as some other students. As Laoda and the rest of the Gang of Five cast a questioning look at Murong Xue, she knew they were asking about Xiaosi. When she approached them, she simply said, "I helped her ask for leave. We'll talk later." She then went to stand in her platoon.

As the bell stopped, Mr. Mo walked to the front of their platoon.

"All of you, turn right!" The unique loud and clear voice of Mr. Mo sounded.

The students on the playground turned to the right sloppily, which didn't look orderly at all.

"Turn left!"

They still moved sloppily.

"Turn right!" Mr. Mo's voice became louder every time.

...

It wasn't until Murong Xue felt dizzy while turning constantly that Mr. Mo stopped asking them to turn.

"All of you, trot forward at a steady pace!" After Mr. Mo shouted to give his order, he started to run ahead. Murong Xue and others all ran with him.

At this time, there were some students slowly walking out of the dormitory. Even the clothes on their bodies were a little messy. Some of them didn't even button their clothes properly.

Murong Xue noticed that a deputy instructor was waiting for these freshmen who arrived late. She didn't know what would happen.

Murong Xue had been trotting with the instructor. She knew her physical strength. She always wanted to develop some self-defense skills. But many things happened, and Mo Ziwen was also quite busy. Hence, she didn't actually have the time to train herself.

Murong Xue couldn't help but look up at Mr. Mo, but she could only see his tall back and his slightly cold profile. She couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between Mr. Mo and Xiaosi was. What happened last night? Xiaosi cried sadly yesterday, but it seemed that it didn't affect Mr. Mo at all.

Murong Xue was a little worried about Xiaosi. Such an indifferent man probably wouldn't spare a glance at her even if Xiaosi was crying to death. If it had been someone else, she wouldn't have bothered it. The problem was that Xiaosi was not someone else at all, but her good friend. Maybe she should find an opportunity to ask Laoda and the others. They grew up together. Maybe they knew what happened.

As time went by, Murong Xue started to feel that her muscles were sore. She was calm at the beginning, but now she started to sweat slightly.

It was difficult to walk on the roads in the mountainous areas, and there were still many stones blocking the road. The long trot caused girls with weak physical fitness to start panting. Many students began to complain and simply stopped on the road.

The conditions of the boys were a little better. Basically, they could run and follow the instructor easily. And there were even boys who started to tease the girls who were exhausted. What surprised Murong Xue was that Xiaowu was so relaxed that she didn't even drop a bead of sweat, which made her stunned. She didn't expect that a petite girl like Xiaowu could exercise so well. Then Murong Xue looked at Laoda, Xiao'er, and Xiaosan. She found that they were also in a good state. Even their running postures were a bit different from ordinary students’ postures. It seemed that they had received professional training.

Murong Xue thought about countless possibilities in her mind in an instant and finally came to the conclusion that the Gang of Five was not as simple as she thought. It was impossible for ordinary people to have such a professional posture. And the five of them always seemed to be very busy. They didn't take every class in school.

Mr. Mo ignored the movement behind him and ran forward without stopping. Murong Xue looked at the Gang of Five, who also ran forward with a calm expression. She gritted her teeth and dragged her sore heels to follow them.

Huang Xiaofei, who had been following behind her, began to look pale. Gradually, she stopped unwillingly and sat down on the stone on the side of the road. Looking at Murong Xue who was going away, her eyes flickered. No one knew what she was thinking.

The three-hour jogging finally ended. In the end, only five people who followed Mr. Mo returned to the training ground, including Murong Xue and the four people of the Gang of Five. Murong Xue already bent her body and propped up herself with her hands on the knees. She was panting for breath. Her military uniform was wet with sweat.

However, the four people of the Gang of Five still didn't even pant. They looked the same as they did at the beginning. They only sweated a little, which made Murong Xue envy!

As Mr. Mo looked at the five people in front of him, his eyes flashed with a touch of satisfaction as if he had been smiling. "Take a break!" His voice seemed softer than before.

Murong Xue was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to raise her head. Regardless of whether the grass was dirty, she sat down and had a rest.

After a long time, the students who were still halfway on the road slowly walked back one after another. When they arrived at the training ground, they sat directly on the grass like Murong Xue.

The silence of the training ground was instantly broken by the complaints of the students who returned.

"I want to go home. I don't want to stay here anymore..."

"This is simply not a place for humans to stay. My feet are blistering..."

"D*mn. I can't even feel my feet anymore."

As Murong Xue felt better, she stood up and stretched her hands and feet. After all, it was best not to stop and rest directly after having an exercise for a long time. It would be better for her to stretch and relax. But she was about to collapse on the ground.

After a while, the last group of girls returned to the team. The soft crying and complaining made people more irritable. The students were getting displeased.

After a while, Mr. Mo shouted after he confirmed that everyone had a rest for a while, "All rise. Attention!"

However, there were only a few people who obeyed the order. Murong Xue and the four of the Gang of Five already straightened and stood upright.

"The five of you can go to the cafeteria to get breakfast and eat in front of them. After you finish, you can go back to your dormitory to rest." Mr. Mo pointed to Murong Xue and the four people of the Gang of Five.

Murong Xue just smiled and walked to the cafeteria with the four people.

"Xiaoliu, what's wrong with Xiaosi?" Laoda asked worriedly while they were on the way to get breakfast.

Murong Xue sighed slightly before speaking. "Do you know what the relationship between Xiaosi and Mr. Mo is? Xiaosi cried sadly after seeing Mr. Mo last night." She asked worriedly.

Xiao'er also frowned. "Actually, we don't know very well, but the two do know each other. They used to be very close. But suddenly one day, Xiaosi cried and told us that she would never see Mr. Mo again. After that, we don't see Mr. Mo anymore. How could Xiaosi meet Mr. Mo last night?"

Murong Xue didn't expect that they didn't know the whole story. Now it was troublesome. She could only ask the people involved. However, with Xiaosi's current condition, she wouldn't tell her even if Murong Xue went to ask her. Could she ask Mr. Mo? "Xiaosi secretly ran out of the dormitory to find Mr. Mo in the middle of the night yesterday. I was worried, so I followed her. But I didn't hear what they said." She shouldn't have hesitated back then. Maybe it was better to just knock on the door and go in.
