Chapter 48 Just kidding
The toes touched the soft lips.
Lin Shuyao's almond-shaped eyes darted around, then she slightly raised her chin, looking down at Cheng Zheng like a queen: "I bestow upon you the highest honor of our kingdom: kiss my right foot."
Her jade-like feet caressed her chin.
Lin Shuyao smiled slightly.
Cheng Zheng stared intently at her with his dark eyes. That look made Lin Shuyao's heart skip a beat, and her legs went weak. She obediently shrank back and said with a fawning smile, "Just kidding, just kidding..."
Cheng Zheng looked away, lowered his eyes, and silently picked up the socks and put them on her feet.
"Now that you've applied the medicine, don't do any strenuous running today. Just walk around the track a few times to warm up."
Hearing that she didn't have to run, Lin Shuyao's eyes lit up. Afraid he might change his mind, she put on her shoes and stood up: "Then I'll go now!"
The main group had already arrived at the playground. Led by their class monitor, everyone was panting as they ran laps around the playground. Lin Shuyao joined the group and followed behind.
Everyone knew she had injured her foot, and yesterday she successfully persuaded the Soviet experts to stay, solving a major problem for the factory. Capable people are treated with leniency wherever they go, so no one had any objections to her not having to run.
After warming up, we began the morning's physical training.
Today we're going to learn martial arts.
Cheng Zheng selected a male comrade to step forward and personally demonstrated a commonly used fighting move, then let everyone pair up and practice freely.
After spending some time together, the new employees have formed different small groups. When they heard about free pairing, most of them quickly found partners they were familiar with.
Some people wanted to find Lin Shuyao, but during combat training, they had to throw each other around, and seeing her delicate skin, they were afraid of hurting her.
Also, she knew that Ivanov was responsible for his daily meals, and if he was injured and it affected his cooking, it wouldn't be acceptable.
With these considerations in mind, those who originally wanted to practice with her gave up on the idea.
Since no one was contacting her, Lin Shuyao had no choice but to take the initiative.
She looked around and found that no one was looking for her, the class monitor, Zhao Tiemei.
However, she had just noticed that several lone male comrades instinctively avoided looking at Zhao Tiemei when their eyes swept over her, not to mention the female comrades, who didn't even glance at her.
Could it be that Zhao Tiemei has been ostracized by everyone?
They seem quite pitiful.
Lin Shuyao carefully examined Zhao Tiemei.
The other person had short, ear-length hair, a square face, a prominent jawline, and was about 170 cm tall with a slender build. When looking at people, they always raised their chin and had one eyebrow raised high, giving them an air of superiority and disdain for others.
Unlike Cheng Zheng's arrogance, which was hidden deep within him and reserved, Zhao Tiemei's arrogance was outward; her eyes and expressions clearly showed that she looked down on everyone.
Lin Shuyao recalled the day she reported for her job. Zhao Tiemei introduced herself and said that she seemed to be a student at Harbin Institute of Technology and Military Science, the same school and major as Cheng Zheng. The two were not far apart in age and might even have been classmates.
No wonder Zhao Tiemei is so arrogant. Harbin Institute of Technology and Military Academy is the best military academy in the country. While other new recruits in the army spend years honing their skills to obtain a minor official position, she gets one right after graduation.
However, getting into that school is not easy; you have to achieve a certain score in academic subjects.
There were several lines on the playground, and Cheng Zheng went to instruct the lines on the other side of the playground.
Only Zhao Tiemei and Lin Shuyao are left alone here.
Lin Shuyao wanted to partner with Zhao Tiemei, but was a little intimidated. During the last housekeeping inspection, Zhao Tiemei saw that she didn't have a quilt or sheets and yelled at her until she was stunned.
Maybe if she goes to them, they won't even want to team up with her.
Just as Lin Shuyao hesitated, Zhao Tiemei walked towards her first.
"Comrade Shen, now it's just the two of us single, let's team up."
Zhao Tiemei got straight to the point, her gaze sweeping over Lin Shuyao from head to toe, her eyes revealing a naked contempt and disdain.
His eyes clearly showed that he only asked her to team up because there was no one else around; otherwise, he would never have asked her.
Lin Shuyao had no choice but to politely say, "I'm not very familiar with fighting moves yet, please give me some pointers, class monitor."
Zhao Tiemei said expressionlessly, "Training is not child's play. I will not show any mercy."
Hearing this, Lin Shuyao's heart skipped a beat. However, looking at the practice sessions next to her, it didn't seem very intense. They were just knocking each other down, and there were soft mats on the ground, so it should be fine.
Lin Shuyao readily nodded: "Then let's start practicing."
Zhao Tiemei cracked her knuckles as she clenched her fists: "Don't worry, I'll give you good pointers."
Before Lin Shuyao could react, Zhao Tiemei quickly raised her leg and blocked her calf, then slapped her chest hard with both hands as if clapping!
Lin Shuyao's body immediately fell backward, her tailbone hitting the ground first, and her entire back slammed heavily onto the soft cushion. She screamed in pain, her mind going blank.
"Get up, Comrade Shen. You're not going to be seriously injured from a fall, are you?" Zhao Tiemei said coldly as she saw Shen rubbing her tailbone without saying a word.
Lin Shuyao instinctively used her hands to push herself up from the cushion.
He didn't want to back down in front of Zhao Tiemei.
As soon as she regained her footing, Zhao Tiemei swiftly grabbed her arms with both hands like eagle claws and threw her over her shoulder.
Snapped--!
The moment her back hit the ground, Lin Shuyao felt as if her internal organs had shifted; it hurt so much!
Zhao Tiemei didn't just show no mercy; she went all out to kill!
Waves of pain washed over her, Lin Shuyao frowned, bit her lip, and didn't know where to rub her hands. She could only helplessly clutch the soft cushion beneath her.
"Get up! Keep going! You can't even handle a couple of falls? Are you made of paper?"
"So delicate, why even bother with military training? You might as well quit!"
Zhao Tiemei's cold and ruthless voice rang out from above.
Lin Shuyao bit her lip, too painful to speak.
She now finally understood why those men didn't want to team up with Zhao Tiemei.
This isn't a woman, she's more manly than a man.
He showed absolutely no restraint; he seemed intent on killing her.
What's there to worry about, what's there to complain about?
Looking at the other groups training next to her, everyone stopped short of being too aggressive; none of them were as ruthless as her.
"Cough cough... let me catch my breath." Lin Shuyao braced herself against the soft cushion with both hands and tried to get up. Zhao Tiemei thought she was too slow, so she bent down, grabbed her collar, and pulled her up.
Before Lin Shuyao could even regain her footing, Zhao Tiemei launched another attack.
Several fighting moves were used in succession, each one ruthless.
Zhao Tiemei had undergone proper military training, so Lin Shuyao, who was out of breath after running 800 meters, was no match for her.
This combat training session was a one-sided beating of Lin Shuyao.
Lin Shuyao had just landed on her back on the soft mat a second ago, and the next second she was flipped over, her face pressed against the mat, her hands tied behind her back, and Zhao Tiemei's hard kneecaps slammed against Lin Shuyao's back legs.
She frowned, gripping Lin Shuyao's wrist with one hand and pressing down on the back of Lin Shuyao's head with the other: "Comrade Shen, your skills are no good. I could take you down in two or three moves. Someone like you would only be a hindrance on the battlefield."
"Let me go! This is just practice, not a battlefield!" Lin Shuyao's face contorted in pain.
That damned Zhao Tiemei is absolutely insane!
The comrades around them had already noticed the two's movements.
"Squad leader, let go of Comrade Shen! Can't you see how much pain he's in?!"
"That's right, practice is practice, but using such force? What if you hurt Comrade Shen? She has to prepare lunch for the experts later!"
Zhao Tiemei reluctantly released Lin Shuyao: "That's how it is during live-fire exercises in the army. You say I'm ruthless, but the enemy won't show you any mercy on the battlefield."
Lin Shuyao rubbed her face, which had been squeezed. "The enemy won't show any mercy, but we are comrades-in-arms. Besides, training is supposed to be limited to a few points. Even in live-fire exercises, I've never heard of killing your own comrades."
The teammates watching nodded in agreement.
"Forget it, I can't explain this to people like you who have never been in the military." Zhao Tiemei said and walked to the side, continuing to rub her wrists and loosen her muscles.
An insider complained: "She's always like this, she'll kill anyone. Last time, Zhang Wei from Workshop Two heard she had military training and humbly asked her for advice, but she directly fractured his bone. Zhang Wei is still lying in bed..."
"My God, she's insane!"
"That's right, didn't you hear what she just said? She can't explain things to people like us who haven't served in the military. She looks down on us."
