LPLFDA Chapter 47

Feng Yuan’s loud report made the eyes of the instructors, who had already been waiting in place, sink slightly.

The instructors did not, like Feng Yuan, give him a self-introduction.

The instructor in the very middle gave Feng Yuan the first order.

“Step forward.”

Feng Yuan: “Received!”

At home, Feng Yuan had watched these kinds of soldier dramas.

After putting on the camouflage uniform, his little head quickly pulled out the plot from the TV shows.

When seeing the instructors, he should shout “Report!” When hearing orders, he should shout “Received!”

Round little soldier, reporting online!

Feng Yuan, who stepped forward, was directly picked up by the instructor in the middle.

The instructor lifted him and shook him a little, as if feeling the weight.

Being dangled, Feng Yuan restrained the impulse to kick his chubby little legs, obediently letting the instructor shake him.

Li Si and Li Wang did not stay in place.

The two of them were already very familiar with training. After dropping Feng Yuan off here along the way, they continued walking forward.

Feng Yuan looked at the backs of his older brother and sister, opening his mouth slightly.

“Want to call out to them?”

The instructor lowered his eyes and noticed Feng Yuan’s small movement.

Feng Yuan pressed his lips together and shook his head.

On the way here, he had already made up his mind.

Today, he wouldn’t cling to his brother and sister. He was going to be a brave and independent good soldier!

“Stand properly.”

Instructor Brian put him down, let him stand firm, then led him to the dormitory.

The dormitory was originally a double room, but now an extra small bed had been added temporarily, turning it into a triple room.

On the three beds, Li Si’s and Li Wang’s bedding were both folded neatly and tidily.

The instructor’s hand clasped his belt as he looked down from above at the little one who had walked in.

“Open your backpack, put away the things inside.”

“This is your bed, this is your cabinet.”

For Feng Yuan, who had just arrived, the very first thing he was told to do was not a physical test or physical training.

What he first learned was the organization of personal belongings.

Fortunately, Feng Yuan knew how to do this.

He put the clothes and shoes he had brought into the cabinet, and also placed his toiletries on the desk.

“Do you know how to fold the quilt?”

“Yes, I can!”

On the bed, there was a quilt prepared. Feng Yuan once again gave a live demonstration of how to fold the quilt.

The instructors were not particularly strict about personal organization.

They knew where their training focus lay.

After spending a little time in the dormitory, Feng Yuan was taken out again.

Next came the real training.

Feng Yuan had to undergo a complete and strict physical fitness test.

The instructors would, based on his test results, create a training plan tailored specifically for him.

At the start, little soldier Feng Yuan, still carrying great ambition, was already so exhausted that his little face was flushed red after running a few laps in the test.

Panting, he looked at the instructor timing him, while his two chubby little legs felt as if they were filled with lead, completely unable to move.

Running, obstacle course.

One test after another, Feng Yuan failed them all.

Not only did he fail the fitness test, but the whole little cub was worn out flat on the ground.

The instructors showed him no pity at all.

“Your training plan will be completed in half an hour.”

During the half hour while the plan was being made, Feng Yuan was allowed to sit on a small stool and watch videos for a while.

He was watching training videos.

In the videos, there were quite a few children also participating in the training.

These children were all not very old.

Their training content included combat, rock climbing, wilderness survival guides, and underwater training.

In short, these were indeed solid, real survival trainings.

The purpose of these trainings was not to make the children’s bodies especially strong and exaggerated, but to teach them survival in all kinds of situations.

Most of the ones participating in this training were children from wealthy families.

These children came from good backgrounds. Their families could afford to hire bodyguards.

However, their parents still chose to let them learn survival skills themselves.

All of the training would never be excessive.

Children were in the stage of growing bodies. Excessive training would not benefit their physical growth.

Looking at the little soldiers in camouflage uniforms, Feng Yuan’s tired and drooping little face gradually lit up with radiance.

Among these little soldiers in camouflage, he instantly recognized his brother and sister.

Seeing the dashing appearance of his brother and sister, little stars shone straight out of Feng Yuan’s eyes.

“Wow!”

“Brother is so amazing!”

“Sister is so awesome!”

Feng Yuan looked at his brother and sister with admiration. His heart surged with excitement. He wished he could go climb a cliff right then and there.

Not far from him, an instructor looked at his excited little expression and let out a snort of laughter.

“Lin, tell me, how long do you think this little fellow can last?”

Nickel poked the arm of his companion, Lin, beside him, and asked.

Lin had an Eastern face. He frowned and avoided Nickel’s touch.

“Your question is meaningless. As long as he stays here even for one day, we must teach him properly. As for anything else, that is not our concern.”

Lin’s words made Nickel shrug his shoulders.

“All right, you’re really stiff. Talking to you is always boring.”

Nickel said chatting with Lin was boring, yet he didn’t walk away.

Instead, he picked another topic and continued talking with Lin.

“Have you ever received a gift before? I wonder who taught this little fellow to bring gifts.”

Earlier, Feng Yuan’s snacks had been confiscated in the dormitory.

After taking away his snacks and toys, several instructors thought he would cry.

Unexpectedly, this little fellow only sniffled and didn’t cry.

Not only did he not cry, but he even gave gifts to the instructors.

Three instructors each received one towel.

The towels came in three colors: pink, yellow, and blue.

Nickel was given a pink towel. He wanted to exchange it for Lin’s blue one, but the latter wouldn’t swap.

“We shouldn’t accept gifts.”

Normally, when children gave gifts to instructors, it was always with some request.

Their requests were nothing more than asking for leave or for the training to be relaxed a little.

But the instructors had principles. They were paid a high price to train these children.

So the children’s bribes were useless to them.

Feng Yuan had indeed given gifts. When he handed them over, he didn’t make any requests. He only said:

“Training makes you sweat, so these are for you to wipe it off. This towel is really comfortable!”

Feng Yuan even kept two for himself.

His gift wasn’t for bribery, but purely a sincere token of greeting.

The towels had no tags, so it was hard to tell whether they were expensive or not. In any case, the material was quite good.

All three instructors accepted the towels.

While Nickel kept on persistently chatting with Lin, Brian, who was making the training plan, had already reached the final stage.

“You two, come over and take a look.”

Brian called the two of them over and had them look at the training plan.

On this plan, there was a lot of rest time.

Feng Yuan was really too little.

His small body couldn’t endure long periods of training.

“These rest times will be used to give him some science education.”

For example, what to do if a fire breaks out and how to put it out.

For example, if trapped in a remote place where no one passes by, what should be done.

And also, how to identify various plants, especially poisonous ones.

This kind of survival knowledge education was also very necessary.

The three instructors had trained quite a few children under their care.

Among the children they had trained, there were three who became the most famous: one was kidnapped by abductors, one was trapped in extreme weather while traveling with his parents, and one experienced a triangular building fire.

Yet all three of them survived, and the second child even saved a whole family.

This second child was from the world-renowned Roman family. His father had many children. He was in the middle, originally not considered very important.

But after surviving together with his father through that incident, the father later brought him to his side to personally raise and train him.

Apart from these three examples, there were also other children who had indeed gained real benefits from the training.

“I don’t see any problems.”

Nickel looked over the training plan from beginning to end. He felt this plan was very well designed.

Brian was very skilled at making these.

“Mm.”

Lin also spoke: “No problem.”

With the plan finalized, Feng Yuan’s training was at last officially set in motion.

His schedule, for the time being, was filled to the brim.

In the morning, physical training. He would practice running and climbing.

Running was extremely practical.

No matter whether chasing after someone to fight or being chased by someone, being able to run fast was always an advantage.

Climbing was also very practical.

Setting aside climbing skills in survival situations, even just in daily life, if the little fellow wanted to sneak out but didn’t want to take the main door, being able to climb walls would be much more convenient.

Whether running or climbing, the duration wasn’t long.

Morning tasks completed.

At 11:50 a.m., he went to eat. After eating, there was still a midday nap.

After waking from the nap, in the afternoon came the study of cultural classes.

The learning of cultural classes was not under the control of the three instructors.

At 5:20 in the evening, it was dinner time.

After dinner, Feng Yuan could relax a little.

He only needed to write some homework, and then he could rest.

The instructors still gave him plenty of rest time.

After all, for children, sleeping more was also good for growing taller.

The instructors’ arrangements were all carefully considered.

Their conclusion was that this level of training would only promote Feng Yuan’s healthy development and would not bring him any negative effects.

The instructors’ considerations were quite good. It was just that Feng Yuan was tired to the point of having tearful eyes.

With great difficulty, he finally finished a whole day of training.

Six o’clock sharp.

Having already eaten dinner and digested for a while, Feng Yuan sat at the dormitory desk, video calling Qin Xun.

He gripped his pen, his small face full of grievance.

“Yuan Yuan is so tired.”

He hadn’t studied for a while during this period. Now, all of a sudden, cultural classes were added for him. It was as if he had gone back to when he was in kindergarten.

“Qin Xun, the homework is so hard.”

Whether it was kindergarten homework back then or the cultural class homework now, for Feng Yuan, it was a huge challenge.

He lifted his exercise book to show Qin Xun.

“How do I do this?”

Seeing Feng Yuan struggling with his homework until his eyes were red, Qin Xun’s heart also tightened a little.

“Yuan Yuan, don’t worry. I’ll teach you slowly.”

“We’ll write it little by little. We’ll finish it.”

Qin Xun was very patient. It wasn’t just a day or two that he had been helping Feng Yuan with his studies.

By now, he had already gained experience in how to teach Feng Yuan to do homework.

The two of them had a video call. Although this kind of remote tutoring wasn’t very convenient, it was still useful.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Feng Yuan finally finished his homework. His little mouth grinned wide. Though his eyes were still red, a smile had already bloomed on his face.

“I finished writing it!”

“Mm, Yuan Yuan is really great.”

Qin Xun never stinted on praising Feng Yuan. While praising him, he also asked Feng Yuan whether today’s training had been tiring.

Of course, Feng Yuan was tired.

He nodded his little head, like a chick pecking at rice.

“The instructors are so strict during training!”

“After training, they don’t get annoyed.”

Feng Yuan talked with Qin Xun about the training. He spoke seriously. Qin Xun listened just as seriously.

“The instructor said that Yuan Yuan has passed, and there’s a chance to go into the wild together with brother and sister!”

Feng Yuan’s soft, milky little voice came through the video, sounding in Qin Xun’s ear.

Qin Xun watched him almost without blinking.

After the two little ones finished talking about training, they began to talk about the information Qin Xun had sent Feng Yuan a couple of days ago.

In the materials he had sent, part of the information was about the phoenix. Feng Yuan already knew it now.

“Yuan Yuan, the phoenix can trace back to the source and find out where certain things are.”

Qin Xun knew that Feng Yuan wanted to find out where the “thing” on his aunt’s body came from.

So, he had provided Feng Yuan with help in terms of information.

Feng Yuan also knew that if he wanted to solve troubles, he first needed to become strong himself.

He was already working hard to upgrade his little flame!

And in today’s cultural classes, one of the lessons was folklore.

Local customs, supernatural tales.

These teachers actually taught him this, too.

This class could be said to be Feng Yuan’s favorite one of the whole day.

With the knowledge from folklore and strange tales, along with the little tips for upgrading the phoenix that Qin Xun had found, a look of confidence appeared on Feng Yuan’s chubby little face.

“Qin Xun, Yuan Yuan is going to become the most powerful little phoenix!”

Right now, he was eager to try both searching for the “thing” in the old residence and upgrading himself.

The two little ones talked for quite a long time.

Feng Yuan’s small ears keenly picked up the sound of footsteps.

His eyes lit up: “Qin Xun, my brother and sister are coming back!”

“Let’s talk later!”

Feng Yuan waved his little hand, waved at Qin Xun, then blew a kiss before finally ending the video call.

After hanging up, he ran over to the door.

Just as he stood by the door, Li Si and Li Wang pushed it open from outside.

Li Si and Li Wang came back much later than Feng Yuan.

By now, it was already eight o’clock.

The two of them walked in.

Feng Yuan obediently called out “Brother” and then called out “Sister.”

Li Wang did not react to his younger brother.

Li Si raised her hand and pinched his face.

Feng Yuan curved his eyes in a smile. While he was at it, he stretched his little arms toward Li Si.

Li Si picked him up.

“Sister, did you and your brother eat already?”

“We ate.”

“Yuan Yuan ate, too!”

Feng Yuan really liked affectionate interactions like hugging and snuggling.

In his milky little voice, he chattered to Li Si about his training. Before he even finished, Li Si had already carried him into the bathroom.

“Did you take a bath?”

“I did. The instructor told Yuan Yuan to wash by himself.”

Feng Yuan didn’t like bathing. But since it was the instructor’s order, he couldn’t disobey.

Having watched military dramas, Feng Yuan was now trying hard to carry out the principle of obeying the instructors’ orders.

In the past, when only Li Si and Li Wang were in the dormitory, even when they came back, each would do their own things, not disturbing one another.

That dormitory could stay quiet for a whole night.

But now that Feng Yuan had joined, the dormitory had never been peaceful.

Just one little cub, Feng Yuan made the dormitory seem lively and bustling, as if it were filled with people.

Li Si went to take a bath.

Since Feng Yuan could no longer cling to his sister, he went over to Li Wang.

“Brother.”

The little fellow tilted up his bun-like face, not feeling the least bit discouraged by his brother’s indifference.

As long as his brother didn’t clearly reject him, he would stick close, following along step by step.

He invited Li Wang to touch his little face.

Li Wang didn’t touch.

So he took Li Wang’s hand himself and placed it on his own little face.

Li Wang didn’t refuse.

The pair of brothers, one big and one small, were like this—one like a mute, the other like a warm, enthusiastic little sun.

The little sun radiated warmth, inching closer bit by bit, seeking intimacy.

When Li Si finished bathing and came out, she saw Feng Yuan already sitting on Li Wang’s lap.

Li Wang was looking at the computer.

Electronic devices weren’t forbidden.

Li Wang was using the computer to watch an anatomy class.

The class hadn’t yet shown any dissection images, so the little cub sitting on Li Wang’s lap was still holding his brother’s hand, playing.

He was comparing sizes.

His brother and sister were both very tall, and their hands were large, too.

His brother’s hand could wrap around his little hand completely.

Just as Feng Yuan was leaning against Li Wang’s chest, still playing at comparing sizes, Li Si scooped him up.

“What? You’re interested, too?”

Li Si asked Li Wang.

Li Wang said lightly, “Not interested.”

Li Si snorted. “You’d better really not be interested.”

Her toy. Even if it was her own brother, he shouldn’t think of snatching it.

The cub who was carried away still didn’t know he was a toy.

His little hands wrapped around Li Si’s neck. He was also happy that Li Si was holding him.

Li Si carried him away and set him on the bed.

As soon as Feng Yuan touched the bed, he flopped down with a plop.

He giggled, wanting to play with his sister for a while.

Li Si pressed lightly on his arm and asked, “Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt, just feels a little sore.”

“And here?”

“That doesn’t hurt either.”

Although Feng Yuan said it didn’t hurt, Li Si still pressed and massaged him.

Li Si’s technique was very professional.

She had studied it specifically.

A massage after exercise not only helps the body relax, but also lets the mind unwind.

While giving the little cub a massage, what Li Si was thinking was that this little cotton-ball cub felt really good to the touch.

And, since she was raising a little pet, naturally, she couldn’t raise the pet in a spoiled way.

Feng Yuan was massaged until he felt wonderfully comfortable.

When it was over, he sat up and planted a smacking kiss on Li Si’s cheek.

“Thank you, Sister.”

The cub, thinking his sister had worked hard, gave a kiss to express his gratitude.

Li Si had already been kissed by him twice now.

The little fellow’s soft kisses weren’t the least bit unpleasant.

So, Li Si didn’t say anything about that kiss.

After kissing his sister, Feng Yuan wanted to climb down to drink some water.

Li Si didn’t let him go down.

“Your shoes aren’t down there.”

As she spoke, Li Si got up herself and poured water for him.

After he finished drinking, Li Si saw him rub his eyes twice, so she spoke again: “Sleep.”

Tomorrow, this cub still has training to continue.

When Feng Yuan was going to sleep, naturally, the lights had to be turned off.

Li Si called out to Li Wang.

She looked as if she was concerned about Li Wang: “It’s so late, go to sleep. Sitting in front of the computer all the time is bad for your eyesight.”

But those seemingly caring words didn’t stir Li Wang’s heart at all.

He knew that Li Si simply wanted him to turn off the lights and the computer.

The sound of Feng Yuan yawning also rang out.

After a whole day of exhaustion, the cub who usually loved to fool around before bed truly had no energy this time.

His yawning sound was still quite clear in the quiet dormitory.

The next second.

Li Wang turned off the lights.

Before coming back, Li Wang had already taken a shower. In the dark, he changed into his pajamas and lay down to sleep.

For three days in a row, Feng Yuan’s training was all the same.

He still hadn’t been able to adapt to or pass the training here, but at least he managed to stick it out.

After the three-day adjustment period, he could go home in the evenings.

During those three days, Feng Yuan kept chanting slogans to himself.

A man bleeds and sweats, but does not shed tears!

In his camouflage uniform, the little man didn’t shed tears at the base.

But once he got into the car to go home and saw his grandpa and aunt who had been waiting inside early, the little fellow’s lips trembled, and tears fell.

These past few days have really exhausted the cub!

“Grandpa! Auntie!”

Sitting in the car, all the hardship and exhaustion of training now turned into grievance, bursting out at once.

With tears welling in his eyes, he told his aunt and grandpa about the training.

Actually, even if he didn’t say anything, Li Heng and Li Wei already knew about his training situation.

The adults had all received his training videos.

Feng Qi, Li Sheng, Li Ting, as well as Li Heng and Li Wei. All of them had his training videos.

In the videos, the little fellow wore camouflage clothes, a small cap on his head, grunting and huffing through the training.

When others did this training, you could see their imposing manner.

But when the cub of their family did it, it was just overly cute.

“Our Yuan Yuan has suffered.”

Li Wei held the little fellow’s hand and spoke blatant nonsense: “This little face has even gotten thinner.”

Feng Yuan: “……”

Because training was so tiring, the cub who got an extra chicken leg at every meal suspiciously touched his own chubby cheeks: “Really? Has Yuan Yuan gotten thinner?”

The instructors often picked him up to weigh him.

He hadn’t heard them say he’d gotten thinner!
