Li Yan had a rare quarrel with his eldest brother, and went back to his room angrily, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he really wanted to take Maimai away overnight.He went out to see what Maimai was doing, but he saw that the lights had been turned off from under the door, and he probably fell asleep, so he had no choice but to give up.

On the way back to his own room, he passed by Alex's room, and just as he was hesitating whether to say good night to him, the door opened.

Both parties were taken aback.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Alex said first, "I think we still need a bedside lamp..."

Li Yan realized that Alex's bedside lamp was missing a light bulb: "Oh! I'll find it for you, and I'll bring you the one in my room."

Alex followed him back to the room very consciously.After entering the door, he turned around and closed the door and asked, "What did your elder brother talk to you just now?"

"..." Li Yan didn't expect him to say this, he hesitated a bit, "...didn't say anything..."

Alex asked, "Did he scold you?"

Li Yan said: "...nor..."

Alex said: "You look like you just got scolded."

Li Yan pursed his lips, even if he had endless things to talk to, he didn't know what to say.It is absolutely not allowed to speak ill of elder brother to outsiders, and he doesn't know how to explain to Alex that elder brother said that Mai Mai is a wild child.In the end, he could only shake his head and say, "It's okay, brother didn't say anything, it's because I'm in a bad mood."

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Alex had no choice but to stop asking.While Li Yan lowered his head to disassemble the light bulb of the bedside table lamp, he stood by the desk and observed several small photo frames on the desk.

In Li Yan and Mai Mai's house, there are photo frames on the table, but those are Mai Mai's photos; the photos here are all Li Yan's own.They are basically photos from childhood to adolescence, and one of them is very special. It was taken on a hospital bed. It may be about to be discharged from the hospital, so the smile is particularly bright while holding a bouquet.

Alex picked up the photo frame and asked, "When did you live in the hospital?"

Li Yan looked back at the photo frame he was holding and said, "Oh, that was after the summer camp."

Alex was puzzled: "What problem do you have to be hospitalized?"

Li Yan said: "My knee hurts. It should be injured during training, so I went to the hospital for a while after the end."

"...Why didn't you tell me that your knee hurts?" Alex suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and corrected him, "Why didn't you leave the team halfway and drag it until the end of the summer camp?"

Speaking of which, Li Yan was a little ashamed: "If I quit the team, my teammate will be alone, and I would have troubled him enough..."

Alex couldn't help but interrupt him and said: "...you think too much, you will die without him?"

===

In the preparation room at the entrance of Group A's training ground.

Alex saw the number plate in Li Yan's hand clearly, and was a little speechless for a while.

Li Yan didn't notice his strangeness, put down his backpack, and was about to change his luggage. Alex had already changed his clothes in advance in the camp, because he didn't want to change clothes in such a public space with dozens of other people without privacy, but Li Yan didn't care.He changed into his training attire and pinned his number plate to his chest before he remembered to look for his teammates.

He was very happy when he found his teammates next to him. Alex saw that he looked down and found a red envelope in his backpack, and tentatively tried to hand it to himself.

What is it?

The size of the envelope made Alex almost mistake it for a love letter.But after thinking about it for a moment, Li Yan didn't know who he was, so he sent a ghostly love letter.

So he didn't answer and asked him, "What is this?"

Li Yan was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before whispering: "...meeting ceremony."

When he said that, he looked around, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

Alex was a little confused, took the envelope and opened it, only to find that there was only a small card inside.Pulling it out, it was a gift card, and the amount on it was a bit exaggerated for middle school students.

Alex put the gift card back in the envelope: "You give such a big gift to everyone you see?"

He wanted to return the envelope to Li Yan, but Li Yan politely refused as if he was reciting his lines: "...my dad specifically asked me to give it to you, thank you in advance for taking care of me..."

"..." Alex said unceremoniously, "Is this a hush money?"

He stuffed the envelope back to Li Yan, and Li Yan was a little at a loss as he held it, he murmured, "...You take it..."

"...Your impostor is your business, won't I become an accomplice if I accept it?"

This sentence made Li Yan shut up immediately.He took the envelope back, embarrassed, not only did he not dare to persuade him anymore, he even dared not get close to Alex anymore.He hurriedly put on the remaining protective gear, and when the instructor arrived, he kept looking at Alex nervously, as if worried that he would sue.

The way of spending money to buy people's hearts and seal people up as soon as they meet makes Alex feel bad, but he won't do such things as whistleblowers.Li Yan didn't dare talk to him anymore, and of course he wouldn't take the initiative to show his favor.Today is the first time to assemble, he might as well save some energy and wait for the next training.

So the two of them were silent until they entered the arena.

The training ground was filled with thick smoke and visibility was very low.The smoke is also irritating. Not long after entering, I heard many people in the group start coughing.

Obviously, it was caused by not wearing a mask and inhaling smoke.In the camp, there have been repeated teachings on how to wear a breathing mask correctly in advance, but some people still can't listen to them.

Alex originally wanted to walk a few steps faster, away from the group of coughing shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so as not to be affected by the mentally retarded aura; but when he turned around, he found that his teammates were also coughing.

"..."

Li Yan kept coughing, Alex had no choice but to stop and help him.If the mask is not tight, you can only take it off and put it on again. Just covering the mask will not help. It is impossible to adapt to the dense smoke in the air leakage environment.He told Li Yan to hold his breath, and then helped him adjust the position of the mask and fix it again, and it was done in a few seconds.

Li Yan finally breathed out and thanked him non-stop. Alex told him: "There was a buckle on the mask that you didn't fasten just now, and you have to fasten the cassette after you finish buckling it."

Li Yan suddenly realized, touched the back of his head and said, "So that's how it is."

Alex asked: "Didn't your camp teach you?"

Li Yan said: "...I didn't teach..."

Those in group B were not required to wear face coverings at all, and of course they were not taught. Only then did Alex realize that he didn't know how to wear it at all: "...you don't know how to wear it, so why don't you ask?"

Li Yan: "..."

I couldn't see his expression, but Alex could guess it. How could he dare to ask about the atmosphere in the preparation room just now.

On the first day of training, there is no special content, just do some regular exercises, warm up, run and so on. Beta's physical strength is a bit lower than that of Alpha. Li Yan is almost at the bottom of every item, and he is really useless. Everyone is doing push-ups on the same field, and he is the only one whose hands are worn out.In the final endurance run, he was left behind by the second-to-last one, because the team is an inseparable one, Alex can only run with him at the end.

Every training will have a corresponding score. Of course, Alex is also a competitive person, and it is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry.But it was useless to remind him, Li Yan could only run so fast.Not to mention telling him to hurry up, Alex suspected that he would die at any moment if he ran any further.

It seems that the red envelope is not a hush money, but a mental damage fee for his teammates.

After a whole day, Alex really felt that Li Yan had come to the wrong place, and he should just throw money and go to Group O to learn and escape.The training on the first day should have been the easiest, but if you can't catch up like this, how will you live the rest of the day?

When he assembled and waited in the same preparation room the next morning, he thought that Li Yan would not come.After waiting for a long time, he finally sneaked in through the back door with his backpack still in his arms.Late again.

He explained that he was running from the Group B camp three kilometers away, because the camp had a fixed opening time and could not leave early, so he would be a little late every day.

Alex has changed his mind about him. After all, the distance of three kilometers is not short, and he has to make this extra trip every day before formal training, which is very exhausting.And after the daily training is over, when others can stay in place to rest, chat and laugh, he has to rush back to the camp of Group B.To be honest, Alex was not optimistic about him at first, and even bet in his heart when Li Yan would not give up, but he really came here every day except the last day.
