Chapter 50: Morning Full of Pain
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In that moment, Wang Ye, awakened from his sleep, started to question his life choices. He even questioned whether his mind had gone astray. After his rebirth, he had a different family background from his previous life. He was no longer a carefree young master but a soldier.
It was still winter, and there were still two hours before dawn. It was incredibly painful. However, the multiple-choice questions had been completed, and the papers had been handed in. Now, he could only endure the pain.
Gritting his teeth, Wang Ye rubbed his face vigorously and forced himself to sit up with great determination. Wang Ye didn’t realize that his actions had surprised Ye Sanshi, who was observing him. But Ye Sanshi didn’t say anything. After a brief moment of astonishment, he immediately began waking up the other recruits.
Without a doubt, the rest of the recruits in Class 5 felt the same way as Wang Ye when they were woken up by Ye Sanshi. They weren’t just in pain; they were experiencing muscle strain.
There were ten people in the dormitory, excluding Wan Baojiang and another sports student. As the others were awakened, each movement they made was accompanied by muffled groans or cries of pain.
“Uh-huh”
“Aiyo…”
…..
“Ah!”
Qin Li, who was on the upper bunk across from Wang Ye, attempted to prop himself up but winced and let out an “ouch” as he moved his hand.
Deng Hai groaned as well. Just as he was about to get up, he collapsed back onto his bed.
“Uh…” Wang Ye was stunned, but he quickly realized what was happening.
During the early stages of his rebirth, when he first started training, Wang Ye had experienced the same pain. Even with the assistance of rehabilitation massage in the gym, his legs would still feel stiff for several days when descending stairs. He had to clench his teeth and exert all his strength to control himself while eating or holding chopsticks.
It was muscle strain.
After a prolonged period of inactivity, such symptoms would arise after a sudden bout of exercise.
“What are you all groaning about? It’s just muscle strain. Lie down and pull up your clothes. You’re going to help your comrades!”
Ye Sanshi was well-prepared and took out a bottle of red oil from his pocket.
“Yes… Humph… Humph…”
Deng Hai appeared completely transformed.
Normally, he would chat when he had nothing to do. However, lying in bed today, as Ye Sanshi applied the ointment and massaged his body, his body twitched from the soreness. Although he couldn’t help but groan, he endured it and didn’t complain.
Ye Sanshi, however, didn’t pay attention to his cries. After applying the ointment, he said, “Massage yourself. Your muscles are strained. Safflower oil and massage will speed up recovery!”
With that, he moved on to the next recruit, climbing onto their bed.
For a moment, the entire dormitory was filled with gasps, cries of pain, and even curses.
“Ah, Gentler… Gentle…”
“Fuck, it hurts… It hurts!”
“Endure the pain. If you don’t apply force, do you still expect to get up?”
Ye Sanshi’s actions were rougher than those of Wang Ye and the others. Those pressed by him would scream like pigs being slaughtered.
This situation wasn’t unique to Class 5; all the other classes in the dormitory experienced the same pain.
It was manageable for those who had a good foundation and regularly exercised. However, those who were unaccustomed to regular training were subjected to this torture.
It was early in the morning, and many people were still drowsy and sleepy when they woke up at five o’clock. But now, no one felt sleepy.
Forget sleep; the pain was so intense that it kept them wide awake. Those who weren’t in pain were busy massaging their comrades, finding joy in their misery.
“Alright, that’s enough. Get down and fold your blankets in the aisle or the bathroom. Remember, it’s already too late. You can only go to the bathroom or downstairs where the streetlights are!”
“Ah? We still have to fold our blanket?” Gu Yingnan screamed from his bed.
“Nonsense! Did you think I was joking with you. Can’t you endure a little muscle strain?” Ye Sanshi responded angrily. “Do you want me to send you to the hospital?!”
After his remark, he scolded sternly, “Get up! Stop dawdling. I’m going to wash my hands and get a basin of water. If anyone is still in bed when I come back, I’ll give them a cold shower. It just so happens that you didn’t wash last night!”
After saying that, Ye Sanshi left the room with a small yellow basin.
The dormitory fell into silence.
But in just a moment, sobbing sounds could be heard.
Someone in the dormitory started crying.
The lights were still off in the dormitory, but with the illumination from the corridor and the outside lights, everyone could see that it was Song Yuejin.
He wasn’t the only one; his sobbing marked the beginning of a chain reaction.
One after another, the recruits’ eyes turned red.
This generation may have suffered when they were young, but as they grew up, society developed, the country grew stronger, and people’s living standards improved. Many of them had genuinely never experienced much hardship.
However, now?
Upon arriving here, everyone encountered unexpected challenges.
It wasn’t just bullying; the hardships they faced exceeded the limits of their endurance.
“Don’t cry. How can a soldier not endure suffering? Bite the bullet. It’s only for a limited period. Soldiers have gone through this for so many years,” Wang Ye tried to comfort everyone.
He added, “Besides, the class monitor will be back soon. We’re all men. It’s laughable to cry. Come, let me help you up slowly.”
As he spoke, Wang Ye approached Zhang Ping’an’s bed.
Zhang Ping’an, with red eyes, was also sobbing….
