The next day, the whistle blew at six o'clock.
Shi Lan, having over-exerted herself the day before, woke up with her body aching all over, especially her knees, which were swollen.
The female drill instructor in the same dormitory saw Shi Lan's condition, crouched beside her to examine her for a long time, and then said, "You need to rest, you can't force yourself to exercise anymore. The girl who ran thirty laps on the playground yesterday was you, right? The whole Lion and Tiger Camp knows about your heroic deed now. That Ren surnamed guy is really annoying."
Shi Lan squeezed her knees and said, "I'm fine."
"You're still a celebrity, after all. You should take better care of your body. That stupid Ren, if you can avoid dealing with him, then do so. He was parachuted in here, and he's used to being dominant. You lie down and continue sleeping; I'll go speak up for you."
Shi Lan watched as the female drill instructor stood up and finally said, "Thank you."
