Chapter Forty-Four: Eight-Pack Abs

  Doing push-ups every day with an exponentially increasing amount of training, the belly hurts so much that even laughing is not dared, and a slight tremble will make people hurt to death.

  Pull-ups, dumbbells, barbells, arm strength bars... these strength training tools have made their arms so swollen that they can't even take off their clothes at night, and when they do, they scream like a ghost as if they're being stripped of a layer of rotten flesh!

  Morning exercise started with 3,000 meters, after a week it increased to 5,000 meters, and after half a month it directly reached 10,000 meters. Then weighted running began. Every night someone would cry out that they couldn't take it anymore, but after a good sleep, their spirits were high again and they forgot the complaints of the previous night!

  Day by day, even the most delicate girl in class has become toughened up.

  Liu Dazhuang even brought out his home skills to torment them, and many of these people may become grassroots officers in the future, with profound implications for their physical strength.

  He was most depressed every day before going to sleep, muttering to himself in a low voice and asking his subordinates:

  "What else can you come up with, I'm almost driven mad by these wolves, every day there's new content, every day the training volume increases, it's even more intense than our own training, this is just like when we first enlisted in the army and had intensive training!"

  Someone immediately suggested: "If the regular training is not enough, why not learn from the special forces' intensive training? You have a comrade who is a special forces soldier, just ask him and you'll know?"

  One word awakened the dreamer, and Liu Dabao suddenly felt enlightened, as if he had found a new path for training.

  This is too much!

  As a result, training became getting up at 5 am and sleeping at 3 pm, plus the occasional emergency alarm in the middle of the night. Sang Hong felt that she was so busy that she could run faster than the wind when walking, and as soon as she lay down, she fell asleep like a dead pig.

  Every evening during rest time, and even school clubs spared no effort in recruiting her.

  Many times, she fell asleep in the midst of those people's endless persuasions, making them so angry that they discussed how good this girl was at pretending to sleep, fooling them. It was just military training, not like she had never trained before, how could she be so exhausted?

  Just as Sang Hong had just sent away a group of people, she received Qin Luoshui's phone call and immediately began to pour out her grievances like seeing an old friend.

  Qin Luoshui said with a smile: "Since someone has invited you, just join in, you're not very good at getting along with others anyway, and your stubborn personality is quite suitable for it, why refuse so painfully?"

  "It's too much of a waste of time. My short-term goal is to become a special forces soldier, opportunities are fleeting, how can I afford to waste even a little bit of time?"

  Xiang Hong explained straightforwardly and confidently.

  "Haha, special forces? You want to be a special forces soldier?"

  Qin Luoshui was shocked and immediately sat up from the bed, thinking - this girl is crazy enough, she dares to think of this.

  The little girl is getting more and more interesting.

  "I like to do everything with all my might, coming to military school naturally wants to become the best soldier!"

  Xiang Hong felt there was nothing unexpected, and didn't understand why Qin Luo was so surprised.

  "You're crazy, special forces, that's such a powerful existence. If you become one of them, I reckon you'll never be able to get married in this lifetime. You're already fierce enough on your own, and with good combat skills, just think about it from a man's perspective - who would dare marry a woman who can even take care of herself?"

  Qin Luoshui started mocking her without restraint.

  Xiang Hong was left speechless, and after coming back to her senses, she began to scold him mercilessly:

  "Do you think all men are as weak as you? Do they like to bully fragile and helpless little girls?"

  You think you're proud with just six pack abs? No way! I now clearly know that a strong man has eight pack abs!"

  Qin Luoshui suddenly burst out laughing with joy:

  "You didn't even look at me that day, how did you know I only have six pack abs? Did I say it?"

  And that man who has an eight-pack abs, his taste is similar to mine. Do you think when you also develop some abs, he will still want you?

  Xiang Hong glared and snorted, "Who cares about him anyway! In this world, women can hold up half the sky!" She then thought of Qin Luoshui not being by her side, so she rolled her eyes, "You don't even know how to comfort me or help me achieve my dreams, all you do is discourage me!"

  Her words carried a hint of softness, revealing a unique charm that made Qin Luoshui lose her composure. Her thoughts shifted and a bitter smile floated to the corner of her mouth. Only Song Shuyu could bring out this little girl-like temperament in her.

  Suddenly remembering his original intention for calling, he hid his thoughts and apologized repeatedly: "Sang Hong, I haven't had a verbal sparring match with you in a long time, just sharpening my tongue skills, who said I wouldn't help you?"

  "Really?" Xiang Hong's eyes widened in surprise, and after a while, she shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Alas! You're still capable of making waves in the business world, but this system... I'm afraid you have the heart but not the power. It's better not to add trouble for you."

  "Tsk tsk, you're too young for this, isn't this a bit out of your league?"

  "Special forces aren't something you can just waltz into, except by relying on your own strength to speak for yourself, I'm afraid no one can help you achieve this dream in one step. However, I have other methods, taking a detour to reach the destination."

  Qin Luo's stomach started to hang up.

  "For example..." his voice trailed off, waiting for him to continue.

  "For example, I'll tell you a way to retreat and advance! I have two plans, if implemented together, they will definitely live up to your efforts. One is closer, but the outcome is not very certain; one is farther away, but the grasp is much greater."

  Qin Luoshui could still sell Guan Zi, Sang Hong ground her teeth and restrained the urge to bite him, patiently saying: "Let's talk about something closer."

  "Oh, by the way, it's my nephew Qin Qing. He secretly participated in last year's final selection, all the procedures, he should still remember them clearly, you can go ask him for advice!"

  Qin Luoshui's voice was somewhat languid, but couldn't hide the joy within.

  Upon hearing this, Shang Hong was suddenly stunned, paused for a moment, and her voice became weak and powerless:

  Qin - Qin Qing - Is that your nephew?

  "Uh... me... him... uh, I don't even know what to say. No wonder he looked familiar - turns out you're from the same family! Cough cough... I'm so embarrassed, this plan is ruined."

  Xiang Hong was so regretful that she pounded her chest and stomped her feet, regretting until her intestines turned green. Just look at how she scolded, it's as if she spat towards the sky, but it all fell back onto her own face!

  "Haha, am I hallucinating? Ms. Sang, how can you give up like this? This isn't like you, for your ideals, such a good opportunity to understand the inside story, don't you want to try?"

  "I'm afraid it's not just a little difficult!" San Hong said with a sigh.

  "How would you know the outcome if you don't try? I don't think you're the kind of person who gives up easily, and you can even come up with seduction to deal with me. For a young whippersnapper like him, all you need to do is lower your posture slightly and ask for his advice, he doesn't have my willpower."

  Qin Luo's water was stagnant and foul-smelling.

  "Get out! You're really something that can't even spit anything out of your mouth!"

  Digression

  Everyone, thank you for your support of Shui's new article. When you have time, please show your support for Shui's completed sweet novel "Husband, Don't Be Too Naughty". Thank you!

  Fragment 1: Xiao Zhengtai's fingers lifted, lightly brushing over her slightly parted lips, and his dark eyes smiled again, adding: "Liao Xiaomeng, I'm not selling to just anyone, I only sell to one person, and that person is you. And it's only you who can make me go 'hmm'..."

  Liao Xiaomeng had never heard such a blatant tease before?

  The wine had emboldened her, and she reached out to grab his clothes wildly.

  Fragment two: He always knew that even though Liao Xiaomeng spoke harshly and scolded Wu Yi, she still loved him; even though Wu Yi politely reprimanded Liao Xiaomeng, he still loved her.

  Where is the need for disguise without love?

  Where was he placed? Knowing that she was his poison, he would lose all reason when he met her, yet he still craved her warmth.
