Stars In His Eyes

All afternoon, He Zhilan stayed in the shooting range watching He Teng train. He Teng wasn’t like other class leaders who would scream at their soldiers for making mistakes, practically reducing them to grandsons verbally.

When his soldiers made errors, He Teng wouldn’t berate them. He would merely cast them a glance that seemed to say ’how could you be so stupid?’, making them feel so embarrassed that they’d rather squeeze the person in front of them uphill. Then he would tirelessly demonstrate what to do over and over and explain time after time.

Although Chen Ya’nan was only thirteen years old, He Zhilan had to admit after watching her all afternoon, that she was indeed fit for the army. The shooting skills of this thirteen-year-old was no worse than the newly trained soldiers. Just as other class leaders would scold their new soldiers, a thirteen-year-old girl can do better than you bunch of idiots!

As Kang Xing watched the soldiers get scolded, he sighed with relief that their squad leader didn’t berate them like that, although his gaze wasn’t any better either. Kang Xing realized that they, the new soldiers, honestly couldn’t compare with Chen Ya’nan. Chen Ya’nan was raised in the army compound, both her father and maternal grandfather were from a military background, and she had begun training behind He Teng from a young age. It would be apt to say that Chen Ya’nan’s gun skills were nourished by bullets.

Of course, Kang Xing didn’t underestimate Chen Ya’nan. After all, if a person doesn’t work hard and achieve, even bullets couldn’t raise him.

He Zhilan stayed in the shooting range until the end of He Teng’s afternoon training. While she stood in the shade and enjoyed, He Teng and his soldiers were baking in the sun and covered in sweat.

After training, He Teng took He Zhilan directly to the dining hall to eat. After their meal, the two returned to the guesthouse.

Upon returning after training for the whole day, the first thing He Teng did was shower. As He Zhilan sat outside, flicking through a book to pass the time, listening to the sound of the shower running inside, she felt an unusually calm and steady feeling of contentment.
