The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 161: No Comparison, No Pain

The official training for the new female soldiers has begun, but Wang Miaomiao doesn’t know that her brother, Wang Jia Bao, has started his tough new recruit life from the moment he got on the truck for the first time.

Compared to him, she’s living a heavenly life here.

At the beginning, Wang Jia Bao and Liu Jianmin climbed onto the truck with great enthusiasm. The truck had just started moving a little bit, and before the people inside finished introducing themselves, they were driven down.

"Why so much nonsense, are you a flock of ducks?" Zhang Xiaofei said, with a stern face, knocking on the back panel of the truck with a stick, "Get down, all of you..."

The people in the truck looked at each other, not daring to disobey Zhang Xiaofei’s order, and they jumped off the truck one after another.

When it was Wang Jia Bao’s turn, he smiled at Zhang Xiaofei in a flattering manner, only to receive a shout, "What are you smiling at, think you’re good-looking? You pretty boy."

Wang Jia Bao was dumbfounded at that moment... What’s going on? Weren’t we on the same side?

After everyone got off the truck, Zhang Xiaofei jumped onto it himself, tapped the truck again, and the truck started moving. Zhang Xiaofei stood on the truck, looking down haughtily, "There are too many of you, it’s a waste of fuel and effort to drag you. So if you want to join the army, start running... if you can’t keep up, just go home, don’t disgrace the army. After all, our army wants elites, not a bunch of weaklings."

The truck drove further and further away, and someone started running after it. Where there’s one, there’s another, and soon everyone was running after the truck.

But Wang Jia Bao was left far behind because he started late, still in shock.

He was really surprised and couldn’t understand why things turned out this way. Fortunately, with Liu Jianmin beside him, the two brothers encouraged each other and did not give up.

Thus, Wang Jia Bao’s group of recruits started their training, getting off and running every once in a while until they reached the new recruit training camp.

They thought they could catch a breath once they reached their destination, but the real nightmare was just beginning, with even harsher training awaiting them.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t know her brother’s miserable life. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be yelling about being tired and embarrassed with the others.

Yes, by the fifth lap, some people couldn’t take it anymore, slowing down and complaining about Zhu Dalong’s ruthlessness.

Wang Miaomiao was gasping for breath, her heart aching from running. Some began to fall behind, and she was one of them.

"Sister Miaomiao, keep it up." Cheng Xue was cheering her on. For her, this amount of exercise seemed like child’s play.

Wang Miaomiao only felt her throat was parched, like a fish out of water, on the verge of death.

The first person to fall to the ground couldn’t get up, but received an order from the cold-faced instructor, "Crawl if you must, but finish the twenty laps."

Once there was one, there was another, and those who fell couldn’t get up again.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t want to crawl, so she gritted her teeth, slowly adjusted her breathing and pace, and began to jog just a bit faster than walking.

She knew that once she stopped or fell, getting back up would be extremely difficult. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Xiao Xue, don’t wait for me, run ahead." Wang Miaomiao knew they were timing their results and didn’t want to drag her best friend down.

Cheng Xue looked at Luan Qian and Wang Cuihua, who were far ahead, then at the snail’s pace Wang Miaomiao, and gritted her teeth, "Alright, I’ll go first, but I’ll come back after I finish to accompany you."

Wang Miaomiao gave her a faint smile, waved her hand, signaling her to go quickly, not even bothering to say more.

For some, who were physically fit, eight kilometers really wasn’t much.

Cheng Xue slowly caught up, progressing alongside Luan Qian and Wang Cuihua.

Every time Cheng Xue lapped her, she would come to her side, cheering her on. Wang Miaomiao gradually got used to this rhythm and adapted to it.

It felt like a long time to Wang Miaomiao, but actually, it wasn’t long before the faster ones crossed the finish line.

Cheng Xue kept her promise and ran to Wang Miaomiao’s side to accompany her.

With Cheng Xue as an example, more people gradually joined the accompanying run.

Cheering voices echoed, giving strength to those falling behind.

For this, Liu Qing and Zhu Dalong exchanged glances, forming a new opinion about these supposedly delicate girls.

Indeed, people cannot be judged by appearances; those who come here aren’t necessarily just to while away their time.

Even if they’re here to slack, I’ll train them thoroughly.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t know how she finished the eight kilometers. In the end, she couldn’t remember anything, just mechanically repeating her actions. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, no longer her own.

Once she finished, it was only when Cheng Xue cheered beside her that she realized she was done.

Feeling a wave of relief, she collapsed, startling Cheng Xue, who quickly supported her, "Sister Miaomiao, you can’t sit down yet, you need to walk a bit."

Wang Miaomiao heard her advice, and though her throat was dry and she couldn’t speak, she tried her best to control her body, enduring the soreness, following Cheng Xue’s steps, slowly recovering her breathing and heartbeat.

"How are you? Want some water?" At some point, Luan Qian came to their side, handing over a canteen.

At this point, Wang Miaomiao couldn’t care less, taking it with trembling hands and gulping down a few mouthfuls.

"Thank you." Wang Miaomiao smiled and thanked her, drinking half the canteen in one go, feeling better.

"No need to thank, we’re all in the same dormitory." With that, she turned to help others in need. Wang Miaomiao noticed her slight shyness.

She thought Luan Qian was rather aloof, but didn’t expect her to have such a caring side.

"You’ve got a nice classmate." Wang Miaomiao commented.

Cheng Xue got a bit jealous, "Hmph, better than me?"

Wang Miaomiao looked at her proud expression, amused, "Of course not better than you. My Xiao Xue is the best in my heart. How could I compare you to others?"

"Hehe... that’s more like it." Cheng Xue laughed heartily, hearing the answer she wanted.

At this time, there were still many on the field who hadn’t finished running. Those adding laps were in trouble; after the twenty laps, they still had penalty runs.

To this, Wang Miaomiao felt she couldn’t help. She was having a hard time taking care of herself, let alone others. She was content not to drag others down, having self-awareness.

Wang Miaomiao thought for a moment, then said, "Xiao Xue, help me to the side to sit down, then go help those other girls."

She saw many of the more capable people helping others and hoped Cheng Xue could leave a good impression on the instructors.

"Alright..." Cheng Xue, always listening to her, agreed immediately.
