1986: Unchanged

Unchanged

Principal Chen looked at the long shadow in the light. His kind and gentle gaze was fixed on it. The slender and small figure was like an eagle that could spread its wings and fly high. It didn't need much protection to fight in the sky and soar.2

As for him, he had really aged.

Ye Jian climbed over the two-meter high wall at lightning speed and jumped up from the ground. She ran across the bridge at lightning speed. She turned around and saw a figure standing proudly in the light. He was looking at her quietly. In the light, she saw Principal Chen smiling.

"Run, girl." Principal Chen waved his hand. His eyes were full of encouragement. "Run, girl. Your show has started. The scenery in front is the most beautiful. You must enjoy it. Don't miss the most beautiful scenery and… your most beautiful self."

Ye Jian waved her hand. She climbed up the high board and went down the platform. After passing through the short hole, she jumped and disappeared underground. A few seconds later, she climbed out of the ground. She went down the deep hole and then went back up. Whether one could complete the course or not depended on this.

After five steps, she would turn back and complete the last 100-meter sprint.

Although Ye Jian's breathing was messy, she was full of fighting spirit. She was wearing the combat uniform, and she was indeed a qualified soldier.

"I'd rather run 10,000 meters than 100 meters." At the end of a five-kilometer or an eight-kilometer run, the soldiers would feel like dying, but a 400-meter obstacle run would make them wish they were dead.

Although Ye Jian didn't feel like she was in a living hell, her breathing was frenetic.

She had to run, jump, climb, crawl, and roll… She had to use all sorts of martial arts skills in order to complete the 400-meter obstacle course.

"Not bad. The time is one minute 54 seconds." Principal Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Although it's not a record, it's still possible to get to one minute and forty seconds."

Ye Jian smiled. "I heard that at the entrance of the 400-meter obstacle training ground in Linnan Military District, there's a stone with the word 'Jingwu' written on it. It's the name of a soldier who completed the obstacle in 1 minute and 22 seconds. Uncle Chen, I'm 32 seconds away from the record."

Every army unit had an outstanding soldier who was admired. Even if he was just a soldier, it was worth learning from him.

When she mentioned the soldier who was admired by the other soldiers, her dark eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky. They were full of fighting spirit. Seeing this, Principal Chen felt relieved.

She was indeed a girl who would not disappoint others. Although she had the intention to take revenge, her goal was still the same and had never changed.

"I believe that you'll become an outstanding soldier who'll be admired in the future, just like your mother. Even after so many years since her passing, she still lives in Commissioner Cai's heart."

Principal Chen said with relief and slowly brought the topic to Sun Xueqing. "Commissioner Cai did mention to me that they suspect your mother was shot by one of their own, but they thought it was impossible. How could a comrade who had gone through thick and thin together point the gun at their own comrade?

"But since that person was wearing the same colored clothes, it's possible that it's someone from the army. It's just that they may not have been their comrade. Also, your mother had a premonition. She had guessed that she might be sacrificed, which means that she would have guessed the person's identity as well. It's just that this person's identity made her wary, so she had no choice but to avoid them."
