A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 95 Military Training Time

Sunlight streamed across the school playground, where a group of high school students in camouflage uniforms stood in neat rows, facing several upright and resolute military instructors. The school had specially invited soldiers to conduct military training activities to hone the students' willpower and cultivate their discipline and teamwork.

Li Shiqing was standing by the playground adjusting her camouflage uniform when she suddenly heard a voice: "Hey, Li Shiqing, are you used to wearing this uniform?" She looked up and saw her classmate Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was tall and thin, with a clever look in his eyes.

Li Shiqing smiled politely and said, "It's alright, but these pants are a bit long."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen immediately said enthusiastically, "Let me take a look. I brought a sewing kit and can make some minor alterations." As he spoke, he squatted down, ready to get started.

Li Shiqing quickly took a step back, waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, I can handle it myself, thank you." She didn't want to get too close to boys at the beginning of the semester. After all, in her mind, high school should focus on studying, and she wasn't used to having too much contact with boys she wasn't familiar with.

Zhang Chen seemed a little disappointed, but still forced a smile and said, "Okay, if you need any help, just let me know. I'm a military training expert; I participated in a military summer camp last year."

"Okay, sure," Li Shiqing replied simply.

The principal stood to the side, cleared his throat, and said, "Students, in the coming period, these outstanding soldiers will become your instructors, leading you to experience military life. I hope you will study hard and cooperate actively."

The students looked on with curiosity and anticipation, whispering among themselves.

At this moment, a stern-faced instructor with sharp eyes stepped forward and said loudly, "From now on, you are soldiers, and soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders! I am your instructor, my name is Zhao Gang. During military training, you must strictly abide by discipline, follow commands, and not act without authorization!"

The students answered in unison, "Yes, instructor!"

The sun was blazing down, and the playground felt like a giant steamer. Before long, Li Shiqing felt sweat pouring down her face, and her back was soaked. She inwardly groaned; this military training was going to be much harder than she'd imagined.

Liu Yixin, standing next to her, was also gritting her teeth and persevering. She whispered to Li Shiqing, "Qingqing, this is too torturous. I feel like I'm going to melt from the sun."

Li Shiqing replied softly, "Hang in there, this is just the beginning."

Zhang Chen stood steadily in the group, glancing at Li Shiqing out of the corner of his eye from time to time, as if worried that she might faint.

After finally getting through standing at attention, the next thing was marching drills. The students were always marching in disarray; some were moving in unison, others couldn't keep up with the pace. The instructor frowned, constantly shouting, "One, two, one! One, two, one! Are you strolling around? Keep your steps in sync!"

Li Shiqing tried hard to keep up with everyone, but she still accidentally walked too fast and bumped into the student in front of her. She apologized awkwardly, her face turning bright red. Zhang Chen saw this and said with a smile, "It's okay, everyone is getting used to it, you'll get better with more practice."

Break time arrived, and the students rushed to the edge of the playground to drink water. Liu Yixin dashed to her water bottle like a gust of wind, grabbed it, and gulped it down, saying between gulps, "If I had an ice-cold Coke right now, I'd be so happy."

Li Shiqing was also very thirsty. She had just taken a few sips of water when she heard Zhang Chen say from the side, "Don't drink too fast, or your stomach will hurt during training."

Li Shiqing glanced at him and said, "I understand, thank you." But in her heart, she was thinking, "Why is this guy so long-winded?"

Training continued in the afternoon, and the sun seemed even stronger. During the marching drill, Li Shiqing accidentally twisted her ankle, cried out "Ouch!", and almost fell.

Zhang Chen reacted quickly, rushing over to support her and asking with concern, "Are you alright? Did you twist your ankle?"

Li Shiqing tried moving her foot and said, "It seems to hurt a little, but it shouldn't be serious."

The instructor came over, checked on her, and said, "Go rest for a bit. If it still hurts, go to the infirmary."

Zhang Chen helped Li Shiqing to the edge of the playground and sat her down, repeatedly asking, "Are you really alright? Should I go find the school doctor for you?"

Li Shiqing shook her head and said, "No need, you go to training. I'll just sit for a while." She didn't want to delay everyone's training because of herself, nor did she want to spend too much time alone with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you should rest well. Be sure to call me if anything happens." Then he ran back to the team to continue training.

During a break, Liu Yixin ran over to Li Shiqing and winked, saying, "I think Zhang Chen cares about you a lot. Does he like you?"

Li Shiqing rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We're just classmates. He's probably just being helpful."

“I don’t think so. Didn’t you see the way he looked at you? It was full of concern,” Liu Yixin said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, stop gossiping and get some rest. You have a lot of training this afternoon," Li Shiqing interrupted her.

After several days of training, the students' movements gradually became more synchronized, and their slogans became deafening. Li Shiqing's foot had also almost recovered, and she threw herself back into training, working even harder to keep up with everyone's pace.

During a running training session, Zhang Chen deliberately ran up to Li Shiqing and said, "Look, don't we look like real soldiers now?"

Li Shiqing smiled and said, "Yes, everyone has made great progress."

Zhang Chen added, "Although the military training these past few days has been tough, it has also been very interesting, especially the feeling of working hard together with everyone."

"Yes, I hope we can achieve good results in the final drill performance," Li Shiqing said.

The day of the drill performance finally arrived, and the students were all in high spirits and full of confidence. They marched past the reviewing stand with synchronized steps and resounding slogans. The audience below applauded and cheered for their excellent performance.

After the military training ended, Li Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Yixin, "This military training is finally over. Although it was tiring, I also gained a lot."

Liu Yixin nodded and said, "That's right, and there were some interesting little incidents too." As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Chen not far away.

Li Shiqing pretended not to understand her meaning and said, "Alright, we need to start preparing for the formal high school courses. That's the real challenge."

As Zhang Chen watched Li Shiqing's retreating figure, he secretly resolved to continue caring for her throughout his high school years, hoping that one day he could win her heart.
