It was a little late, so Mo Shangyun took the list and returned to the dormitory.

Lin Qi is not here.

After taking a shower, Mo Shangjun changed into training clothes, then sat at his desk and studied the program list.

First, he marked the programs that he thought were not good after looking at their names. Then he glanced at the names of the participants. Mo Shangjun opened his laptop and called up the results of the last camp-wide assessment and compared them one by one.

After she had browsed through all the names on the program and knew their results, she looked at her watch again and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

After turning off his laptop and putting away the program list, Mo Shangjun got up and planned to go to sleep, only to find that Lin Qi had not come back yet.

Walking to the balcony, she looked at the snowflakes flying outside and raised her eyebrows. Then she went back to the dormitory, picked up a camouflage hat and put it on.

Get a flashlight, turn off the lights, and go out.

It snowed heavily for several hours, and there was thick snow on the ground.

Downstairs in the dormitory, Mo Shangjun flashed his flashlight and stepped directly into the snow.

There is a snow pit at each step, gradually getting further and further away.

training ground.

The night was dark, the sky was filled with snow, and the cold wind was howling.

As soon as Mo Shangjun approached, he saw the figure moving on the 400-meter obstacle.

I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but the figures of men and women were always easy to distinguish. She and Lin Qi were the only two women in the entire second company, and they were currently moving on the 400-meter obstacle—

Of course it’s Lin Qi.

She paused in her steps and stared at the figure.

The 400-meter obstacle course went back and forth without taking a break. After looking at the watch, I continued to run wildly on the obstacle, going back and forth again and again, as if I was never exhausted.

Putting his left hand in his trouser pocket, Mo Shangyun held a flashlight in his right hand and waved it over the 400-meter obstacle. The strong light of the military flashlight immediately attracted Lin Qi's attention.

Lin Qi paused on the wooden pile, glanced this way from a distance, and saw the tall figure standing under the street lamp.

However, she quickly averted her gaze, ignored Mo Shangyun, and continued to cross the obstacle.

Mo Shangjun still stood where he was.

Snowflakes fell, staining the brim of her hat, shoulders, and military boots with a layer of white. The cold wind blew in her face, but she remained unmoved.

About ten minutes passed.

Lin Qi stopped.

She leaned against the high wall and looked here from a distance.

Finally, Mo Shangyun raised his feet, grabbed the flashlight, and walked towards her step by step.

The light shone on Lin Qi. In the cold weather, she was covered in sweat. The sweat slipped from her forehead and wet the ends of her hair and collar. Then it was frozen by the wind and snow, and even her short hair was frozen.

Got ice.

As Mo Shangyun approached, Lin Qi stood up straight and stood still, staring at her with burning eyes.

"It's break time."

Two steps away from her, Mo Shangyun stopped, his brows seemed to be stained with frost.

"I know." Lin Qi answered word for word without any fear.

"What is your purpose?" Mo Shangyun asked calmly, his gaze falling on Lin Qi's eyebrows.

"Beyond you!"

With a fighting spirit in his eyes, Lin Qi stood up straight and answered firmly and forcefully.

Today she went to the instructor's office and accidentally saw Mo Shangyun's usual grades at school.

Stunning report cards and fitness training sheets.

Just those projects and numbers can inspire any soldier's passion.

She had to admit that she was stimulated.

However, in the face of Lin Qi's high morale and firm belief, Mo Shangjun remained calm and calm.

She flashed the flashlight in her hand and looked at Lin Qi lightly.

After a pause, Mo Shangjun locked eyes with her, and his cold and decisive voice, accompanied by the cold wind, fell in her ears, "Beyond me, what next?"

The few understated words seemed to be a question that was neither salty nor bland, but also seemed to reveal a certain reality.

Lin Qi was startled.

Surpass her, and then what?

Lin Qi had not thought about this issue.

"My current goal is just to surpass you!" Lin Qi's eyes were cold, but his tone remained firm.

His eyes flashed slightly, and Mo Shangyun asked coldly, "So before you surpass me, you are living for me?"

"..."

Lin Qi was speechless for a moment.

She raised her eyes and saw a pair of clear and cold eyes in the hazy night, dark and bright, like dazzling stars, but hiding the endless dark sky. The moment she met those eyes, everything seemed to be penetrated.

Feeling frightened for no reason.

After a long time, she heard herself say one word, "No."

No!

She lives for no one!

The sound of one word was instantly swept and torn apart by the cold wind.

Then, she saw the coldness in Mo Shangyun's eyes fade away little by little.

In the roaring wind, the two of them stood face to face. In Lin Qi's eyes, Mo Shangyun was hidden in the darkness, but her waist was straight and calm. No matter how fierce the wind was, she could not shake her in the slightest.

"It's a good thing to have goals, but there's no need to strain yourself for the goals." Mo Shangjun said calmly and calmly.

What is the goal?

What can be achieved is called a goal. What cannot be achieved is just delusion.

However, she did not say this directly.

Lin Qi looked at her silently.

With a smile on his lips, Mo Shangyun turned around and returned along the original path.

After she walked a few steps, Lin Qi heard a lazy word——

"I'll get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

It seems to be some kind of hint.

Lin Qi's heart moved.

When she looked intently again, that tall but slender figure had been shrouded in heavy snow and darkness, leaving only a shallow outline.

When Mo Shangyun returned to the dormitory, his body was already cold.

No lights on.

She closed the door, put the turned on flashlight on the bed, then took off her clothes, shoes and socks, lay down on the bed, and turned off the flashlight.

It's already 1 o'clock and there isn't much time to rest.

Not long after, she heard the door open. When it still didn't open, Lin Qi went to take a shower, and then quietly got into bed.

The two fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, five o'clock.

There was no alarm clock, so Mo Shangjun followed his biological clock and opened his eyes on time.

Lin Qi, who was on the upper bunk, quickly climbed out of bed after the rustle of dressing.

Her movements were quick and neat, and she actually got out of bed before Mo Shangjun.

Mo Shangyun slowly dressed, put on shoes and socks, and washed her hands without panic. By the time she finished getting ready, Lin Qi was already fully equipped and waiting for her.

The lights in the dormitory were on, and Lin Qi, neatly dressed in training clothes, stood by the door waiting for her.

Mo Shangyun, who had just come in from the balcony, immediately felt two cold eyes, full of murderous intent.

"How to train?"

Looking at her coldly, Lin Qi asked expressionlessly.

"Off-road."
