Chapter 175 - The Iron Man's Tenderness

Yan Wangchuan raised his eyebrows and watched their backs as they left together. His eyes were a little gloomy.

We were all human beings after all, and each had personal emotions.

In fact, he was more aware of Yu Lanjie’s love, tolerance and dedication to him than anyone else.

He still remembered when he held the concert, Yu Lanjie paid for her own ticket and invited all her relatives and friends to attend. She also worked hard to promote it for him.

To let him interview the supporting role in her father’s film, though she had always been unwilling to bother others, she took pains to praise him in front of her father until his father promised to invite him for an interview.

On the day of his successful interview, she was happier than anyone else, as if she had become the film’s heroine.

She was more concerned with his affairs than her own.

Because of that, he always thought that after he broke up with her, Yu Lanjie, who deeply loved him, would definitely not be able to bear the huge blow. She might run away from home to escape from emotional distress or even commit suicide.

However, he never thought that such innocent girl could find a new boyfriend so quickly, and that man was the legendary King of Hell, Commander Yan!

Cough, it hurt his self-esteem!

He didn’t take an umbrella and just stood in the rain. His mood was as gloomy as that rainy day.

Although he was a big star at the moment, and did surprisingly well in the entertainment circle, he knew very well that in the eyes of people like commander Yan, he was just an actor!

Without the release order of Commander Yan, he didn’t dare to leave rashly. He had to bear the strange eyes of other female soldiers and stood in the same place, waiting forever!

In a place where Yan Wangchuan couldn’t see, Yu Lanjie released the arm of Commander Yan and followed him step by step.

Yan Yan smiled coldly and said nothing. It seemed that she still cared about him! No way. He had to punish her well so that she wouldn’t dare to act like that later on.

When they arrived at the recruits’ training ground, Fu Xinjie led female recruits of the special forces of the Sonorous Rose Brigade standing in the rain and lined them up in a uniform square.

They remained in a solemn silence and in high spirits, waiting for instructions from the Commander.

Army boots stepped on the wetland, helmets were taking the downpour, the fog was rising in the air, and their firearms glowed with faint cold lights in the rain.

“Attention! At ease!” With the voice of Fu Xinjie’s command, the movements of the female soldiers were uniform, which made people feel like watching the National Day military parade.

“The new soldiers’ training for the new company of the Sonorous Rose Brigade, section of the Thorn Bird Special Force of the people’s Liberation Army of Z Country has officially started. Those attending should be 136, and all are present. Requesting instructions, Commander!” As the instructor of the recruiting company, Fu Xinjie lined up the whole team and saluted Commander Yan.

Commander Yan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at them quietly and keeping motionless, which made them feel a kind of inexplicable pressure.

It was quiet, only the sound of rain could be heard.

“Comrades!” A sharp voice sounded, and more than 100 pairs of eyes at the scene focused on his face.

Commander Yan’s eyes, like hawks and falcons, patrolled more than one hundred young and handsome faces, easily turning his eyes into firm seeds and spreading them in the hearts of the soldiers.

Unlike the lengthy speeches of other commanders, he only said one sentence, “Comrades, you should be proud of yourselves because your name is the Sonorous Rose!”

As always, with only a few words, the sense of honor of all the female soldiers present was aroused.

Yes, they were sonorous roses!

They were the most elite female soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army of Z Country! They were the elite chosen from the elite! They were sharp knives that enemies feared the most!

“Yes, always ready to sacrifice for our country!” More than a hundred female soldiers in jungle camouflage training uniforms shouted in unison. Their solemnity made Yu Lanjie’s blood boil.

“Instructor Fu!”

“Yes!” Fu Xinjie ran out from the team and saluted.

“Prepare the gun!”

“Yes!”

Fu Xinjie handed a submachine gun.

Commander Yan boldly removed the safety of the gun; he shot to the sky three times, raised his right hand, then saluted solemnly and shouted, “Now, all soldiers, salute the 296 martyrs of the Thorn Bird Special Force and their families who died for our country—”

“Salute—Bang!” Gunshots were heard all the time; the misty rain was wetting Yu Lanjie’s eyes.

Even if she hated Commander Yan, she had to admit that he had a powerful role. In a few words, even she wanted to work herself to death for the soldier’s honor.

Commander Yan threw the gun back to Fu Xinjie, turned around, looked at her, and shouted, “Recruit fall in!”

Yu Lanjie was shocked and looked at him desperately. What was he doing?

Next, the so-called Commander said without expression, “From today on, you are one of them. You will have a three-month closed training for special recruits. You are No. 137!”

Commander Yan said in a low voice, “No. 137, join the ranks!”

Commander Yan’s penetrating voice was thick and sonorous. Yu Lanjie’s petite body was shaken and unsettled by his low roar.

There was no extra emotion on Commander Yan’s face, but his eyes were quite horrifying, which were cold, fierce, and full of a deterrent force.

Yu Lanjie was afraid that he would continue his eye attacks, so she had no choice but to run to the far side of the queue.

Next, Fu Xinjie asked female soldiers to number off again and then began the group devil training.

First, it was a two-kilometer run. That was a warm-up.

Then there were two hundred times up and down the hook ladder. After that, Yu Lanjie felt that her shoulders couldn’t be lifted anymore.

Then there were three hundred back and forth through the 30-meter barbed wire.

Yu Lanjie’s movements were obviously several times slower when compared to others, and it felt like a replay of others’ slow movements.

Commander Yan mercilessly picked up a water pipe and washed her body with cold water, forcing her to climb faster, and then faster…

She was really going to break down!

Since her movements were so slow, Commander Yan punished her to stand in the army posture, holding an AK47 for two hours, and a steel plate was hung on the muzzle of the gun with a rope.

During that time, the other recruits started the final project: running five kilometers with a 20kg load.

Two hours later, others could rest and went to dinner. Yu Lanjie started to take a long-distance run with a heavy load.

That was an impossible task for a specially recruited person without any formal military training, especially for a young girl who had never liked to do physical exercise.

Ouch, let me be killed by thunder!

She was wet through and through; she could not tell whether it was sweat or rain. She ran panting with her teeth clenched. She wanted to die. But, although she was weak, she was stubborn at the bottom and didn’t want that bastard to see her joke.

She ran and ran, not knowing how long she could hold on, one step, two steps, three steps…

Her eyes were wet, blurring her vision. The road ahead was much longer, as if it would never end, like a huge dark beast with a big mouth to devour her.

She fell, stood up again and began a new round of running. She thought inwardly that it was no longer a boot camp, but a battlefield to maintain her dignity!

She didn’t know how long it had been…

She fell heavily on the ground and became unconscious!

When she fell, Yan Yan’s heart which was as hard as rock seemed to have been broken.

At that moment, he forgot his identity, picked her up anxiously and ran towards the medical room…

Yu Lanjie was unconscious for four hours.

She really didn’t want to wake up!

She was immersed in a sweet dream.

In her dream, she was wearing a beautiful wedding dress, holding her father’s arm, while she walked into the beautiful church. Then, she walked to the slender and beautiful figure, which was Yan Wangchuan, one whom she had loved for a long time.

They had gotten married, had a happy and harmonious life after marriage, and had a baby.

The baby grew up and got married. He was very filial and arranged a family feast to celebrate the golden wedding for his parents!

She and Yan Wangchuan grew old together and were buried in a grave. There were several words engraved on their tombstone: they love each other for a lifetime…

“Awake?” Beside her ear, a low cold voice passed over. A rough big hand touched her forehead. Who was it? That voice was so familiar.

“Oops, did I wake up?”

Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and saw the poker face of that plague.

She found herself lying in a big bed full of men’s masculinity, and a sense of depression came over her. The Commander came into her view like a wall blocking her vision, and her nerves immediately entered the first-level alert state.

She struggled to hold the bed with her hands and tried to sit up, but her head spun dizzily and her whole body was aching, as if her bones had been broken and removed.

That was a home bedroom, a very simple and tidy bedroom.

He turned around and felt a little awkward. Looking at the door, he whispered, “This is my home. You were sick and unconscious for half a day. I asked for leave to bring you home and take care of you. Your friend was right. I should be gentle with you. I’m sorry. I was wrong this time.”

Yu Lanjie didn’t believe her ears. Was he making an apology?

He said, “Have a good rest. I made some bullfrog soup. It’s a bullfrog raised by one of my fellow villagers. It’s clean, healthy and nourishing. Wait a minute. I’ll bring it to you!”

He walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door. Yu Lanjie, who was still confused, was stunned!

Five minutes later, he brought a bowl of bullfrog soup, and Yu Lanjie tasted it. It was delicious!

She smelled the flavor of cooking on Commander Yan, and asked, “You made it?”

Commander Yan nodded and said, “I’m single and used to living by myself. I can do everything, such as cooking soup, cleaning the house, repairing electrical appliances and so on! This home needs a woman! Or are you going to be the hostess?”

Yu Lanjie, who was drinking soup, was frightened by his last words and choked so much that she couldn’t speak.

The Commander said with a smile, “Don’t you need to be happy in such a situation?”
