The training camp was secluded. Other people wouldn’t be able to enter.

  Bai Weiyang looked down on Gu Yan from the bottom of her heart, so she didn’t feel a sense of urgency to find the latter.

  Anyway, she would naturally see the other party during the final competition.

  As for Gu Yan, she wasn’t aware of Bai Weiyang’s plan to locate her. If she did, she would probably be delighted.

  Gu Yan had been waiting for Bai Weiyang for a long time.

  For two lifetimes to be exact.

  In this way, a few more days of training had passed in the training camp. The female soldiers of the Logistics Department were faring better and excelling in all aspects of training.

  During the morning run, they managed to surpass the average time.

  And when it came to shooting, they were eager to improve their skills.

  Others would even ask about proper shooting techniques from Gu Yan. In turn, she would generously teach all of them.

  Today, they just finished their morning routine and were about to get their lunch.

  After finishing their food, they would have to use their spare time wisely. Hence, most of them would use it to rest and sleep.

  While the other soldiers were taking a rest, Gu Yan would dedicate her time to studying. Lu Ye told her before that the test was quite difficult. Ordinary graduates of the Primary Academy might not be even able to pass.

  Her admittance was a special consideration, so it would definitely be even stricter.

  As a result, Gu Yan used every moment she could to deepen her knowledge.

  She was busy with training during the day while her breaks would be allocated to studying. Naturally, Captain Lu was neglected.

  Although he did feel dejected, Lu Ye knew he only had himself to blame. He alone told his wife how strict the standards would be and how an intense review would be necessary.

  In fact, Gu Yan had set out some rules with Lu Ye. During training, they shouldn’t go on dates. It might affect the results badly after all.

  Both of them could keep love and career separate very well. Even so, they valued both. Hence, Lu Ye didn’t express any objection against Gu Yan’s decision. He knew well enough that her choice was reasonable.

  Nevertheless, he couldn’t control feeling a bit sour inside.

  He might see her every day, but he couldn’t do anything.

  How pitiful……

  When could he kiss, hug, and hold her?

  However, after letting it stew, he realized getting to see her every single day was good enough already.

  At the same time, Gu Yan missed Lu Ye very much too. Of course, she wanted to learn more about the man she deeply loved.

  Still, she was well aware that her decision would be the best for both their future.

  If they couldn’t even stand on the same level, how would they get to view the same scene?

  She just finished eating and placed the tray back at the recycling station. Suddenly, a painful sensation attacked the lower left area of her stomach. Subconsciously, she ended up holding it.

  “What’s wrong, Gu Yan?” Shen Jiayi immediately noticed her actions and asked with concern.

  It was time for her monthly period!

  Before, Gu Yan would use the jade pendant to ease the pain. It could soothe the cramps and warm up the womb.

  Unfortunately, this problem could only be relieved slowly. After all, when Gu Yan was in her hometown, Zhang Lan always forced her to wash up vegetables and clothes in the middle of winter. Hence, she ended up sick from the cold weather.

  Despite everything, Gu Yan wasn’t too worried about the pain.

  Her face appeared pale but she still said, “It’s fine, I’m having my period. I’ll just go back to the dormitory and rest for a while.”


  This was really troublesome.

  Shen Jiayi nodded. “Okay, I’ll help you. I am keeping some brown sugar in my room. I’ll brew a drink for you. You will feel better.”


  With the jade pendant, she didn’t need it, but Gu Yan didn’t reject her great friend’s goodwill.

  As soon as they exited the dining hall, they encountered someone they didn’t expect.

  Lin Haoran noticed how the usually valiant Gu Yan seemed pale-faced as sweat trickled down her skin. It was heart wrenching to see.

  “What’s wrong, Comrade Gu Yan?”
