&quot;Don't you think that you should go to take a shower first? You've changed from a lovely Young Pioneer into an ugly, dirty nestling from the desert.&quot; Someone sneered behind Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi turned around and saw Zhang Dong standing on the withered grass. It was late autumn, but Zhang Dong just wore a red vest and black shorts. 
　　 
Lin Wenxi looked down at himself and discovered that his olive green camouflage suit was smeared all over with his sweat and the mud that Zhang Dong had poured onto him. He thought to himself, &quot;Wow, it has turned a muddy colour. It's indeed suitable for concealment in the desert. 
　　 
He stood upright and slightly lifted his chest while saying, &quot;Well, you should say, 'You've changed from a marine into a desert eagle.'&quot;

After talking with Shu Xiaoman on the phone, Lin Wenxi heaved a sigh of relief, and then he thought of his father. &quot;My father asked me be ranked among the top ten. I've let him down this time. How am I going to explain this to him? Anyhow, I've tried my best. He'll at most punish me by asking me to recite a few more books.

Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi's forehead and said, &quot;You caught up really quickly, and you recovered fast from the cold too.&quot; He turned to look at Zhang Dong and said, &quot;Thank you very much for taking such a good care of my brother, Instructor Zhang.&quot; 
&quot;That's alright, both of you are my brothers,&quot; Zhang Dong replied plainly. After that, he shouted to Zhao Yuan's military instructor, &quot;You're really good for nothing. How come you look even more tired than your student?&quot; 
Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan's military instructor immediately stood upright and said, &quot;Report to Instructor Zhang. My student never took a shortcut and kept traveling on the main road.
