Chapter 26

In the past, whenever he mentioned divorce, she would become meek and submissive, even kneeling down to beg if he wanted her to.

What did she mean by saying that now? Was she belittling him?

Or did she think that she could find a better partner after becoming a female soldier, so she was saying these things?

No matter what the reason was, Lu Yifan was very disgusted.

“I’m telling the truth.”

Shen Youran repeated herself, and their conversation stalled there. Lu Yifan was unhappy.

They argued for a long time, but Shen Youran didn’t want to continue this topic anymore. She was about to go back to her room to sleep.

If Lu Yifan didn’t agree, then so be it.

She wasn’t in a hurry to get married. It was Lu Yifan who was in a hurry to marry Zhou Xiaohui!

“Fine!”

Just as Shen Youran stood up, Lu Yifan also stood up. He closed his eyes, pretending to be helplessly compromising. “I’ll give you one year. If you can’t apply for an army house within a year, then it’s none of my business. You have to leave here. Don’t talk to me about staying temporarily or paying rent anymore.”

As Lu Yifan said this, he felt that he was being too merciful.

But when Shen Youran heard this, she was actually quite happy. Because Qiao Yu had been hinting to her that those who excelled in training would be selected for better units and could go on missions.

Based on her current performance, she should be able to go on missions soon.

Once she went on missions, she would have military merits, which would give her a certain position. With a position, she could apply for a house.

Shen Youran thought that for her current situation, it wouldn’t be difficult to get a position and a house within a year.

“Okay, thank you.” No matter what, Lu Yifan still had a little bit of conscience. So after thanking him, Shen Youran went back to her room.

Lu Yifan looked at Shen Youran’s back, his emotions complex.

Was she so happy because she could stay here for another year and then try to cultivate their relationship?

Thinking about this possibility, Lu Yifan felt like he had swallowed a fly. He shook his head and suppressed the thought.

He had to prevent Shen Youran from doing that. So after their divorce, he would simply move back to his parents’ house. This house would be considered a temporary loan to her.

After all, Junjun was still technically his son. If he was too ruthless after the divorce, his reputation in the army wouldn’t be good.

He had to leave himself a way out. In the future, when it came to promotions, superiors would consider all aspects. If his future prospects were affected because of this, it would be a huge loss.

Thinking about this, Lu Yifan felt that his decision just now wasn’t so unreasonable.

He was doing all this for his future reputation, for his image, for his career. It wasn’t because he felt sorry for Shen Zhaodi.

Shen Youran returned to her room, and Junjun immediately jumped into her arms, wrapping her arms around her neck. “Mommy, are you going to divorce Daddy?”

“Yes.”

Shen Youran didn’t care when they divorced. As long as she and Junjun could stay in this house after the divorce, she would file the report the next day if she could.

The second thing she would do after separating from the scumbag was to change Shen Zhaodi’s name, which was so humiliating.

She was going crazy listening to people call her that name every day.

She didn’t want to be a “little sister”!

“Then I’ll eat obediently. I want to grow up quickly. I’ll protect Mommy in the future.” Junjun hugged Shen Youran’s neck tightly, not unhappy at all.

As long as she had Mommy, that was all that mattered.

Shen Youran felt incredibly comforted by the milk ball’s words.

She had to work harder. As long as she could go on missions, she would definitely give it her all and try to get a place for herself and Junjun as soon as possible so they could move out of Lu Yifan’s house.

Anyway, she and the scumbag were both disgusted with each other.

The two of them spent some time in the space and then went to bed on the big bed.

Perhaps because they had a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Yifan, when they saw each other the next morning, they didn’t give each other the cold shoulder like before.

Of course, they didn’t talk either.

Shen Youran first sent Junjun to kindergarten and then went to the army for training.

“You’ve been training for a long time now,” Qiu Yu glanced at everyone. He knew what everyone’s performance was like. “Over the next two weeks, we’ll continue to intensify training. As long as you can hold on, you’ll be divided into different squads in two weeks.”

“Of course,” Qiao Yu put one hand behind her back, her gaze sweeping over Gong Yan and the others. “Those who don’t work hard will only be assigned to ordinary squads.”

“This division represents your future!”

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, Shen Youran’s heart was filled with excitement.

As long as she could be assigned to an excellent squad, she could go on missions. Then, her wish wouldn’t be far away.

If that was the case, then she had to go all out!

With this thought in mind, Shen Youran became incredibly fierce in the following two weeks of training.

She could endure the high-intensity training, gritting her teeth, and when she went back at night, she would soak in a bath with spring water, and the next morning she would be back to training, bouncing around.

Every time, she was able to adjust her condition to the best.

Two days before the squad assignment, during a break, everyone surrounded her.

“Youran, why are you so reckless these past few days?”

They had become familiar, so Shen Youran told them to call her by this name. They were now calling her that.

Shen Youran leaned against the side, hearing their teasing, she grinned. “I just want to get into the best squad, so I can go on missions sooner.”

When they heard about missions, someone was curious.

“What kind of missions do female soldiers usually do?”

“I just want to be in a normal squad. Being a soldier in the army will have allowances. I’m actually quite afraid of going on missions.”

Everyone had their own thoughts. Shen Youran smiled. “Then I hope everyone gets what they want.”

“You’ve been so fierce lately, you’ve surpassed all of us. Compared to you, we seem like we’re not even human!” One of the female soldiers named Xue Lingling sighed.

Shen Youran pinched her waist. “Actually, it’s me who’s not human. I’m trying too hard.”

Xue Lingling sighed. “Every family has its own problems. It’s not wrong for you to want to work hard. We can only try our best to catch up to you!”

“Let’s go then, catch up to me!”

Shen Youran was familiar with them, so it was normal for her to make a few jokes occasionally. After she finished speaking, everyone stood up and went to the place where Qiao Yu had told them to assemble.

They were going to practice shooting today.

Qiao Yu took them to the shooting range. “Today is the most crucial day. You’ve all been training shooting for so long. Today is the time to test your results.”

“After the test, I will report your scores. I will assign you to squads based on your scores.”

Qiao Yu briefly explained the rules, and everyone was assigned a position.

They would take turns shooting.

Each person would shoot ten blank rounds, and Qiao Yu and the others would count the scores.

Since Qiao Yu couldn’t do it alone, she asked Da Hei, the squad leader of the male soldiers, to come and help.

Looking at Shen Youran standing among the crowd, Da Hei raised his eyebrows. “I heard that Shen Youran from your female soldier squad is amazing. She’s been training like crazy these past few days!”

When Qiao Yu heard Shen Youran’s name, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She put her hands behind her back and answered Da Hei. “She’s really very excellent. She should be able to get into a good squad this time. The squad leader came here last time, and he also paid a lot of attention to her.”

“A few people in our male soldier squad saw her training, and they were all ashamed. They’ve been training very well these past few days. It’s still a bit of a stimulus for them!” Da Hei also admired Shen Youran.

It just so happened that it was Shen Youran’s turn to shoot. Qiao Yu and the other two stared intently.

Shen Youran had been practicing shooting for a while. In her previous life, she also loved going to shooting ranges.

Although she was a little off, after training for a while here, Shen Youran was already able to accurately grasp the accuracy of her shooting.

She took the gun, her movements were very standard. Qiao Yu gently blew her whistle, and she skillfully loaded the gun, then pulled the trigger.

The bullets flew out whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Xue Lingling, who had already finished shooting, looked at Shen Youran’s movements and leaned over to say to the girl next to her, “They’re all human, how can there be such a big difference?”

When she shot, she didn’t dare to shoot one after another like that. She had to think carefully before she dared to shoot, after all, it was about her score.

Shen Youran was different.

The girl next to her heard this and laughed. “People don’t even look the same, so their abilities are definitely different. Anyway, I regard Shen Youran as my idol!”

Xue Lingling nodded. Actually, she did too.

Ten bullets flew out and landed on the target. The person on the other side reported the score, and the crowd cheered.

It was the first time Qiao Yu had shown a bright smile during training, and she even clapped spontaneously.

“Good job!” Qiao Yu praised her and looked at the others. “Everyone needs to work harder. Shen Youran is already so excellent. Do you all want to be surpassed by her?”

Everyone looked at each other and all brought out their best.

However, Shen Youran still came in first in shooting.

“First in shooting, first in armed cross-country, first in long distance running, first in all kinds of physical training. Now there’s only one more thing left, combat. If you can come in first again, I’ll be green with envy!” After today’s training, Xue Lingling and the others went to the nursery to pick up the children.

They chatted briefly on the way.

Hearing her words, Shen Youran put her arm around her shoulder. “Then be green with envy. I’m still planning to come in first in tomorrow’s combat.”

Xue Lingling looked up at the sky after hearing this. “Oh my god, save me. If I had known that there were people as terrifying as you in the army, I wouldn’t have joined the army!”
