She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 153: Chapter 154 Intensive Training Sprint

The young man who uttered these words looked to be around twenty, donning a rescue uniform that made him look impressively handsome and upright.

Sheng Ning had initially found him quite pleasant to look at, but the moment she heard he wanted to court An’an, she immediately turned into a fierce mother hen, watching him with wary eyes.

“Brother’s wife, do you really have a younger sister?” The young man asked confidently but cautiously, immediately understanding the situation from Sheng Ning’s reaction. “Introduce me quickly, I call dibs.”

“Han Yongchun, have you no shame?”

“Dreaming of becoming family with our Captain, huh? You’ve got guts.”

The whole crew swarmed up, pretending to gang up on Han Yongchun.

Zhou Hong took the opportunity to give Sheng Ning a meaningful look, and the two sneaked away.

“Comrade Sheng Ning, you must perform well and aim to advance in ranks,” Zhou Hong said solemnly.

“Rest assured, Instructor, I will certainly double my efforts.” She was extremely modest and unassuming in front of Zhou Hong, keeping her posture very low.

Firstly, because she knew from her past life that Zhou Hong had always been Xu Qigang’s reliable partner and brother. Even after Xu Qigang had become Captain, he never left his side.

Secondly, because of Zhou Hong’s seniority, she, a newcomer, could rightly address him as a leader.

“Not bad, not bad! Our Captain received a second-class merit and advanced in rank within a year of joining the union. You shouldn’t be discouraged,” said Zhou Hong, in a very good mood, laughing, “As soon as you advance, you can immediately marry our Captain.” The people inside don’t know anything, do they? Sheng Ning is young, only just turning eighteen and not at a marriageable age. Moreover, the General Union Dance Troupe has a rule that relationships aren’t allowed before advancement. Xu Qigang can only play the monk until Sheng Ning advances, and only then he can claim the beauty.

Therefore, urging her to get married was less effective than urging her to work hard and strive for an early promotion.

Sheng Ning was dumbfounded. What happened to the serious comrade speech? Xu Qigang, do you know your instructor is hastening your wedding?

When it was time for lunch in the cafeteria, Dai Bin arranged a special celebration event with people from his own team.

“Congratulations! Joining the General Union in less than a year and becoming an official member is an achievement almost on par with our Captain back in the day.”

Mentioning Xu Qigang, the guys from the fourth team all laughed in good nature.

“Thank you!”

“It’s a pity we don’t have alcohol during training; otherwise, we could have a drink.”

“Instructor, we invite you!”

“That’s right, Instructor, when you come to the General Union, I’ll treat you to a drink,” said the Song and Dance Troupe girls, surrounding Dai Bin in their midst, their comments making his face turn red.

They had spent enough time with Dai Bin to understand his temperament. Outside of training time, he wasn’t intimidating at all.

“This isn’t right, is it?” Dai Bin stammered like a big, naive guy, a far cry from his strict and impartial demeanor on the training grounds.

“Ha ha ha…why not, Instructor? If you don’t want to go with her, you can come find me!”

Sheng Ning stared in disbelief as the female comrades teased Dai Bin into a flustered state, secretly admiring their boldness.

They really knew how to be daring! Back home, she had been wrongly labeled as a vixen, a woman of loose morals.

“Cough cough cough…” Overwhelmed, Dai Bin cleared his throat and put on a serious face, “Everyone, get serious!”

“Yes!” Having trained for nearly a month, the group had made rapid progress in discipline. At Dai Bin’s command, everyone subconsciously got back into formation.

“Hmm!” Finally free from being surrounded and no longer smelling the faint scent of perfume, Dai Bin relaxed somewhat. “There’s one last week to sprint before the intensive training competition. The notice from the General Union also came today. Once the month’s training is over, all the teams will head to the mountains for an outdoor training competition. The first-place team will be commended throughout the region and might even get a spot in our newspaper. The last-place team will be criticized.”
