After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 24 Wishing you all your dreams come true, Jiang Hanying's comfort zone
Jiang Hanying and Yuan Chaoyu returned to their dormitory in silence; the medical staff had already left.

Wenwei was sitting on the bed applying ice to her sprained ankle when she heard footsteps. She looked up, opened her mouth, and said, "You're back."

Jiang Hanying glanced at her, then lowered her head to unbuckle her belt.

Yuan Chaoyu replied, "How's your ankle?"

"It's much better. It doesn't hurt as much after applying ice for a while. I just didn't expect to trip over something like going downstairs. I really wanted to stay and train with everyone, but I'm afraid my ankle will get worse tomorrow, and then there won't be any way."

Yuan Chaoyu poured himself a glass of water and casually replied, "Try to look on the bright side."

"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to go for a morning run with you guys like this. You guys should take off your clothes and lie down to rest. I'll try not to bother you..."

Before Wenwei could finish speaking, Jiang Hanying, who had already taken off her clothes, lay down on the bed in front of her, pulled the blanket over herself, closed her eyes, and looked peaceful.

Wenwei's words, which she hadn't finished speaking, suddenly got stuck in her throat, unable to come up or down.

Yuan Chaoyu quietly finished a glass of water, glanced at Wen Wei who was still sitting on the bed, and said, "Then I'll turn off the light."

"Turn it off, turn it off, I'm fine!"

Suddenly, everything went dark. After blinking to adjust to the darkness, Wen Wei thought about how Jiang Hanying had been disrespectful earlier and looked over with some resentment.

She was immediately startled when a pair of eyes suddenly opened, causing her to scream in fright.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Hanying said casually, crossing her arms behind her head. "I just remembered something I forgot to tell you: I wish you all your dreams come true."

When those last six words reached her ears, Wenwei felt a buzzing in her head, and she couldn't hear anything else.

Only one thought swirled in his mind: Jiang Hanying knew he was doing it on purpose—how did she see through it? Did Yuan Chaoyu hear that on the other side? Was there anyone else...?

Stop, stop right now, don't think about it anymore!
Seeing her overly frightened reaction, Jiang Hanying closed her eyes with satisfaction.

You dared to put on such a show for me, and you even glared at me secretly.

Scare you to death!
Now I feel much better!
Yuan Chaoyu silently turned over in the darkness.

She didn't want to know either of the two people next to her!

*
Because of what Jiang Hanying said to her before going to sleep, Wenwei couldn't sleep well all night.

When people think too much and can't sleep, they become irritable and unconsciously toss and turn in bed.

Unbeknownst to Wenwei herself, her ankle, which was not initially sprained too badly, became increasingly swollen overnight.

It wasn't until dawn that I finally succumbed to sleep and fell into a deep sleep.

I had only been asleep for a short while when the wake-up call went off again!
Startled awake, Wenwei exclaimed: "Ahhh, I want to kill someone!"
Jiang Hanying and Yuan Chaoyu, who were also woken up by the reveille, quickly got up, dressed, and ran downstairs to the playground to assemble, without even glancing at Wen Wei, who was lying stiffly in bed without moving.

I'm too busy to even think about it!
The first boy to run down was Xi Ming.

Jiang Hanying glanced at him as she ran.

I was somewhat surprised.

This person, who was punished by running laps and practicing marching last night, will undoubtedly be the one who stayed up the latest among the guests.

The fact that he can still be the first to rush out shows commendable perseverance!

However, when her gaze fell on Xi Ming's wrinkled clothes, she immediately understood.

It seems he went straight to sleep without even taking off his training uniform when he got back.

As the guests rushed to the playground, the live broadcast started precisely at six o'clock.

The first comment appeared quickly.

[I'm here! Who else is watching the live stream this early?]

[I specifically set my alarm for 6 AM, and now, without washing my face or brushing my teeth, I'm lying in bed skillfully opening the live stream.]

I even acted as a virtual supervisor last night, and my head is still spinning; I just forced myself to keep my eyes open.

[I wonder if everyone is working this hard?]

I bet you guys aren't even this proactive when clocking in at work.

When Xi Ming appeared on camera, the group of people who had come early in the morning to watch the live stream were shocked once again.

[Looks like we weren't the hardest working; it was Xi Ming who was working the hardest!] [The first thing I checked was his waist; we found his belt and it's on. Relieved!]

Don't worry, for the next month, your little brother will cherish his belt more than anything.

The past is too painful to recall; last night's lesson will be one my brother will never forget.

【Who says it’s not? 】

When the last guest arrived, Li Chengxiao glanced at the stopwatch and said, "Not bad, everyone ran under six minutes this time. Keep up the good work and try to run under five minutes next time."

[Everyone? Where's Wen Wei? There are only Jiang Hanying and Yuan Chaoyu among the female guests; someone's clearly missing!]

[Did you miss last night's emergency drill? Wenwei sprained her ankle when she came out; she's probably still in her dorm right now.]

[This is ridiculous! Such a stunt on the very first day of formal training! This instructor is really inhumane!]

[Can I still participate in training? Or will I have to withdraw from it altogether?]

We should know the outcome today.

"Attention, everyone! Captain, lead the way! Three kilometers, start!"

Jiang Hanying was already standing at the front of the group, and she immediately started running upon receiving the order.

After a night's rest, the guests, who had finally recovered most of their blood volume, quickly followed.

At first, the line was quite orderly.

Yesterday, it took everyone over an hour to complete the 6km run. Today, we cut the distance in half, so it should only take about half an hour, right?

[It should work, since it gets slower the further it runs.]

This is the first time I've ever seen dark circles under Yuan's eyes. Getting up early was definitely worth it!

With such a short time to gather, no one probably has time to wash their face or brush their teeth; at most, they might pick at their eye boogers.

The first lap, which was run by the fastest runner, was over very quickly.

The teams began to gradually spread out.

The scene of running laps yesterday morning was repeated again.

Jiang Hanying has distanced herself from the others again.

The distance seems to be widening; you might as well just fly!

Yesterday, at least the instructors were there to keep him in check, so my younger brother could at least try to keep up. Now, he's clearly exhausted.

By the time Jiang Hanying started running the last lap, the others were already a full lap behind.

The crucial point is that her speed is subtly increasing, which is truly disheartening.

[She's already exceeded the three-kilometer limit with four laps, why is she still running?]

Have you forgotten that the instructor set higher standards for her than for everyone else?

[You have to admire her stamina; how come I never noticed how strong she was before?]

[This episode seems to have entered Jiang Hanying's comfort zone. Not sure, let's wait and see!]

Wait a minute, where's the instructor? Didn't anyone notice when he left the camera's view?

[I guess he's helping to deal with Wenwei's sprained ankle; after all, it happened during training.]

The girls' dormitory is currently experiencing its largest gathering of students.

Wang Jun came with the medical staff.

Wenwei's assistant first went to the main gate of the base to pick up Wenwei's agent, who had flown in overnight, and the two went to the dormitory together.

In addition, Li Chengxiao arrived after giving the order on the playground.

In the end, six people were crammed into the not-so-spacious dormitory corridor.

The medical staff standing in front of Wenwei looked at her ankle, which was noticeably more swollen than the night before, and her face was visibly dark. They even began to doubt their previous diagnosis. "It was just a minor ankle sprain last night, how did it get worse overnight?"

Wenwei blinked guiltily.
