Hearing that, Li Mu immediately walked over to them and crouched down to check out Tang Xiaoxiao’s inflamed wound. A frown settled on his face. "Why didn’t you say anything about your injury?"
The girl did not expect that her wound would become so serious either. Getting hurt during military training was nothing and, most importantly, the assessment was just around the corner. Training would be delayed if she went to the hospital.
"Instructor Li." She looked at the man. "A wound this small surely won’t affect our training and assessment, right?"
The instructor returned her look. "You’re still concerned about training at this point?"
"Of course I am. Only thirteen people in our class are qualified to take part in the assessment and we don’t have any replacements," answered Tang Xiaoxiao. She had actually gone around asking her classmates if anyone would be willing to take her place in the competition yesterday, but no one was willing to do so. They had failed a few segments, so they were afraid of getting blamed should their class lose the competition.
Seeing how obsessed she was with the competition, Li Mu ignored her and turned his gaze to Gu Mang instead. "Gu Mang, take her to the infirmary."
Gu Mang nodded. "Okay."
...
At the infirmary.
Gu Mang lazily leaned against the end of the bed as she watched, with her head cocked to one side, the doctor treat, disinfect, and apply medication on her roommate’s wound. Tang Xiaoxiao appeared to be in great pain during the disinfection process, for she kept picking at the edge of the bed. Once the doctor was done bandaging her wound, she looked at her injured, left hand and asked, "Will this affect my performance at the assessment tomorrow, doctor?"
The doctor placed a pair of scissors on a white plate, which he then put aside. "It’ll definitely affect your performance to some extent. As long as you pay attention to it during the competition, it won’t pose much of a problem."
Only then was Tang Xiaoxiao’s mind put at ease. "Noted. Thank you, doctor."
Two men walked into the infirmary right at that moment, which made her instinctively look in their direction. Walking in front was a man in a black shirt that was buttoned all the way up to the very first button, making him look neat but stern. He had exquisite features, sharp, defined contours, and an air of nobility. With the light behind him, the surroundings seemed to have blurred into the background like in a painting. Even though the man was not wearing his iconic black camouflage uniform, she recognized him at once.
That’s the chief instructor! She was so surprised to see him here she stared at him dumbly. I only got scratched by a wire. Surely it doesn’t warrant a visit from the chief instructor himself? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Tang Xiaoxiao stared at the two ridiculously good-looking people standing together, the corners of her lips twitching as a realization suddenly hit her. What am I thinking? How can he possibly be here to visit me? Speaking of which, what’s their relationship? She felt as if she had found out some big news. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
