The words they just heard made everyone’s hearts tighten. Even though they all couldn’t take the training anymore, they could only grit their teeth and continue.
When morning training was over, most of them were in a daze.
They still had to march down the mountain properly and in line after it was over.
God knows how much Gu Qingjiu wanted to immediately lie down when she saw the floor that was covered with fallen leaves. She didn’t want to move a finger at all.
She knew that enlisting in the military would be tough.
However, this sort of toughness was only physical.
At the thought of being in jail in her previous life, Gu Qingjiu realized that being in the military camp was already a lot better and happier in comparison.
By the time they arrived at the cafeteria, Yu Bao’er finally lost control and came over to hug Gu Qingjiu’s arm. “I want to die. I still have to go clean the camp’s toilets this afternoon. I’m in so much despair just at the thought of it.”
Gu Qingjiu was tired as well. She reached up to wipe her forehead and it instantly had her hand covered in sweat. She didn’t even know how she had survived the morning.
If she hadn’t experienced what she had in her previous life, Gu Qingjiu might have felt it was unbearable as well.
At that moment, all she felt was it would feel a lot better once everything was over.
“The camp’s training is originally tough. If it wasn’t, countless people would come, so we have to get used to it.”
If they depended only on enduring it, it would be pointless.
All they had to do was to wait until their bodies could take it, then it would feel normal to them soon enough.
Yu Bao’er used to be spoiled at home as well. It was obvious just from her complexion and her character. It might have been the reason that it looked quite normal for her to complain a little at first, though it still made Gu Qingjiu confused as to why the girl had enlisted.
Yu Bao’er glanced at her with a pitiful look. “Hey, I know… Qingjiu, when I go and clean the toilets this afternoon, will you accompany me? You could just stay outside.”
Gu Qingjiu was silent.
Gu Qingjiu felt that this was a bad habit. She knew she shouldn’t spoil Yu Bao’er too much. Hence, she outright rejected her request. “No!”
Yu Bao’er cried out loud.
After they ate, their afternoon training was about to start again.
Such high-intensity training was common in the military.
By the time they finally survived through the afternoon training, even Gu Qingjiu wanted so badly to lie down to sleep and never wake up again. What was worse, Yu Bao’er wanted to drag her to accompany her as she cleaned the toilets.
That was something even more impossible.
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t even move even if she wanted to. Besides, there might even be an emergency gathering at night and it was something that was unpredictable.
However, Yu Bao’er still had to force her trembling body to go clean the toilets no matter how tired she was. Seeing how pitiful she was, Gu Qingjiu decided to accompany her.
Gu Qingjiu sat down and leaned against a big trunk on a corner not too far away from the toilets. Because she was too exhausted, she fell asleep after a few minutes.
There were many trees in the forest and the camp. In order to preserve the nature of the area, the military didn’t touch much of the place.
That was why there were many old and tall trees in the area. Gu Qingjiu was currently sitting under one of such trees. She was a few dozen meters away from the toilets. She sat facing it so that Yu Bao’er could see her immediately after she was done.
To be honest, the conditions of the military camp wasn’t too bad. It was very clean and even had individual cubicles with washing tanks.
Then again, it was already embarrassing to clean the toilets. Yu Bao’er hadn’t done it before, so she was rather angry when she was doing her chore, especially since Feng Meiyun was doing it with her.
Both of them couldn’t stand each other, so the more they cleaned the toilets, the angrier and annoyed they got.
But at the thought of being kicked out of the camp as a consequence should they fight again, they held their annoyance back.
However, Yu Bao’er couldn’t stand being so annoyed. When her parents arrived, she would definitely make this Feng Meiyun suffer no matter what.
