Chapter 1406: For Real?
“Additional ten minutes.” Ye Jian reminded them kindly and said to the boys, “You can start now. If there is not enough paper, stand like He Jing first.”
She was holding a book above her head, pinching a paper in her hand, and she needed to pinch one in between her knees as well. This posture… was torturous!
The boys turned pale.
Song Zhiqiu’s expression was a little stiff. He pursed his lips and said, “… No, there’s no need. I want to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow… Next time, next time.” That was too ruthless! You could tell from He Jing’s expression that… she was in pain.
Since they were already here, Ye Jian wouldn’t let them go. She smiled and blocked the way. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the boys who were trembling inside. “Try it. It’s quite interesting.”
“We girls work so hard. It’s a little unreasonable for you boys to not work harder.”
In the end, all six boys stood in posture.
Like He Jing, they stood on the stairs and placed their caps upside down and flat on their heads.
“It seems that a cap is better than a book. He Jing, you use a cap too.” Ye Jian took the book and placed her cap flat on her head. “The cap is soft. It’s lighter than a book. It’s more suitable for practice.”
He Jing didn’t say anything. She allowed Ye Jian to do what she wanted.
She had to work hard. She must pass the drill training and not drag her class down.
Qian Yanjun, who was trying his best to lean forward, said bitterly, “We still want to use books. Books are heavy. It’s not easy…” Before he finished speaking, the cap on his head slid down. Qian Yanjun instinctively reached out to grab it. He lost his balance and leaned back.
Ye Jian placed her hand on his back and helped the boy who fell backward. “Don’t think too much when you’re standing. Divert your attention. The reason why the instructor took out the alarm clock in the morning and set the time on purpose is to train our willpower.”
“While we train our willpower, we also need to learn how to divert our attention. Yesterday, seven collapsed in the last 43 minutes. It was actually because we cared too much about the time. We put all our energy into the time so our brains got affected and produced negative psychological cues.”
“To not be affected by negative psychological cues, it’s best to distract yourself and think about other things.”
She adjusted Qian Yanjun’s cap and placed it on his head again. “The cap fell once. Ten more minutes.”
“D*mn, are you for real?” Qian Yanjun exclaimed.
Ye Jian looked at the hat that seemed like it was about to fall off again. Calmly, she reminded him, “Drop it again, additional twenty minutes. Also, put away your favorite ‘mantra’. Spitting doesn’t fit the image of a soldier. The officers will control it too.”
This time, no one spoke. Song Zhiqiu, who was standing at the top, smiled bitterly. At this stage, how could she be joking? Of course, she’s for real.
His cousin had mentioned her a few times. Every time he talked about Ye Jian, the expression on his face would be different. At first, he thought that his cousin was interested in Ye Jian. However, after he couldn’t help but ask, his cousin straightened his expression and replied seriously, “There’s a kind of person that makes people admire and respect them from the bottom of their hearts and see it as an honor to know them.”
“Ye Jian is this kind of person. As long as you interact with her, you will see that she has a quality that is more real than real gold. She is serious, responsible, and upright. She will do her best to help her classmates.”
