“Really?” The female military doctor looked at Zhou Sheng Chen with suspicion, “If your medical skills are really that good, why didn’t you apply to medical school?”
“I’ve learned a lot of things, do I have to apply to a university for every single one?” Zhou Sheng Chen casually showed off, then turned and left.
“Little brat, actually trying to show off in front of me.” The female military doctor watched Zhou Sheng Chen’s departing figure and hummed softly.

Training field, Second Platoon, Fourth Squad.
Zhou Sheng Chen hadn’t been back in the squad long when Zhang Chi also returned.
Zhang Chi said loudly to everyone, “First, I’d like to discuss the ideas for the big chorus on the last night.”
Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhang Chi shouted, “Speak up!”
“Report.” Pan Zhen stood up.
“No need to report, just say what’s on your mind.” Zhang Chi urged.
“Can we sing a pop song?”
Pan Zhen asked excitedly, thinking of something good.
“Step out, squat down.”
Zhang Chi glared at Pan Zhen and said in an unquestionable tone. What did he think the evening party was? Pop songs? Why didn’t he suggest singing folk songs?
Pan Zhen clenched his fists, but still dared not object, so he obediently squatted down.
Then, Zhang Chi looked at everyone and said, “What other suggestions do you have?”
“We are all sharpshooters.”
“Anything else?”
“Red Flag Flying.”
“Anything else?”
Two suggestions were rejected in a row, everyone stared at each other, not knowing whether they should continue.
At this moment, Zhang Chi suddenly looked at the rebellious Xiao Hai Yang and asked, “Do you have any good suggestions?”
“Loyal and Patriotic, the guys in almost every platoon sing ‘Loyal and Patriotic’ at the party. Or, ‘We Are All Sharpshooters’.”
Xiao Hai Yang, who had already been held back for two years, obviously understood everything.
Zhang Chi listened to his words and frowned, obviously dissatisfied with those two songs, and said again, “Those two have already been mentioned by others, can you be a bit more creative?”
“I do!”
At this moment, Xiao Hai Yang suddenly let out a soft laugh, a playful smile on his lips, “Then sing ‘Night in the Military Port’, it’s the song the girls always sing every year, we can go for a soft approach.”
“Okay!” Zhang Chi glared at Xiao Hai Yang, then looked at everyone and said, “Xiao Hai Yang suggested singing Night in the Military Port, do you have any different opinions?”
“No!” Zhou Sheng Chen shouted, “I think this song is very good.”
Pan Zhen and the other students in the directing class originally had different opinions, but seeing that Zhou Sheng Chen had come out to express his opinion, and thinking back to his ferocity at noon, they decided to just go with it.
They just hadn’t heard the original version of this song, otherwise, even if they were afraid of Zhou Sheng Chen, they would still have put forward their own opinions and asked for a change.
Xiao Hai Yang, however, tapped Zhou Sheng Chen on the arm at this moment, his voice hesitant, “Zhou Sheng Chen, have you ever heard Night in the Military Port?”
“No.” Zhou Sheng Chen shook his head.
“Then why did you join in?” Xiao Hai Yang covered his face and sighed, “Night in the Military Port is a girl’s song. I was just making a joke because I was upset about Zhang Chi’s attitude.”
“It’s fine, it’s all the same.” Zhou Sheng Chen patted Xiao Hai Yang on the arm reassuringly, “Besides, this song isn’t necessarily going to be selected, what are you afraid of?”
Xiao Hai Yang sighed, “I hope so, otherwise I’ll have no face to see people this year.”
“Since you have no objections, I’ll submit Night in the Military Port. Just don’t blame me if it’s really selected.”
Seeing that everyone seemed to have no objections, Zhang Chi lowered his head and wrote down the song name to be submitted on the registration book. Then, he trained for a while longer before disbanding.

After military training, back in the dorm, seeing Xiao Hai Yang, Lu Qiao Chuan, and the others, who looked like they had been sucked dry by a fairy, finish washing up in only three minutes, Zhou Sheng Chen felt incredible.
He quickly grabbed his toiletries and went to wash up.
When he came back, he discovered that the dorm lights were already off, and Lu Qiao Chuan and the others were already in bed asleep.
“Are you guys that tired?”
Shaking his head, Zhou Sheng Chen put away his basin and climbed onto the bed, instantly falling asleep.
He had only just fallen asleep when the dorm lights turned on, and Yu Hao’s voice rang out in the incredibly quiet dorm.
“I want to go to the bathroom, it’s really dark, really scary, you guys come with me.”
“Another time, we’re too tired today.”
Xiao Hai Yang replied weakly.
“I want to go to the bathroom.”
Hearing Yu Hao repeat himself, Zhou Sheng Chen sighed deeply, why did he have to have such a roommate, it was really killing him.
Getting up from bed, Zhou Sheng Chen pointed at Yu Hao and said, “Let’s go together. Just make sure you go to sleep quietly after we get back.”
“Alright!” Yu Hao agreed readily.
Zhou Sheng Chen understood Yu Hao, knowing that if he agreed, he would definitely do it.
So, he dragged the already exhausted Xiao Hai Yang and Lu Qiao Chuan out of bed.
With three people accompanying him, Yu Hao still wasn’t satisfied, so he set his sights on Bi Shi San, “Shi San, I want to go to the bathroom.”
“Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy who was afraid to go to the bathroom alone, so he shouted ‘wolf!’ to the villagers, and the villagers found that there was no wolf…”
Bi Shi San struggled to open his eyes, weakly getting out of bed and following behind the others.
When they reached the men’s bathroom, the four of them lined up and stood there peeing.
When Zhou Sheng Chen finished, he discovered that Lu Qiao Chuan, Xiao Hai Yang, and Bi Shi San were standing there with their eyes closed, swaying back and forth, obviously asleep while standing.
“What a bunch of talents!” Zhou Sheng Chen exclaimed.
At this moment, Yu Hao suddenly said in a very sentimental tone, “Before, no one would ever fight for me. They would call me a sissy, and I would just charge in and scratch them. Then I would be bullied by them, no one would help me, because anyone who helped me would also be ridiculed. Today is the first time someone has stood up for me. I know it’s not appropriate to say these things in the men’s bathroom, but thank you…”
“Are you done peeing?”
Seeing that he wouldn’t stop, Zhou Sheng Chen suddenly interrupted him.
This was ridiculous, he had already accompanied him to the bathroom, but now he was giving him a deeply emotional speech, did he have any humanity?
Yu Hao was startled and quickly nodded.
“Then what are you waiting for? Get back to sleep!”
Zhou Sheng Chen woke up the three gods who had fallen asleep in the bathroom and brought them back to the dorm, then fell asleep immediately.
————
The next day, the second day of military training.
Whether Xiao Hai Yang was incompatible with Zhang Chi, he was punished to run for a while.
The others were calm.
Even Pan Zhen didn’t cause any more trouble, Zhou Sheng Chen guessed that he must have been tired yesterday and didn’t have the energy to make trouble anymore.
In the evening, on the training field, Zhang Chi faced everyone, and his cold demeanor changed, instead, he said hesitantly, “The songs for the party on the 20th day have been decided, our platoon will be singing ‘Night in the Military Port’.”
