“Hush!” Wang Ye gestured for everyone to lower their voices.
...He then turned to Song Yuejin, who was staring at him wide-eyed and swiftly placed two warm steamed buns into his mouth. “Hurry up and eat. Ye went to smoke and will be back soon!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Eat quickly!” Liang Fan chimed in. “I wanted to help you hide a steamed bun earlier, but the class monitor was watching me closely. And with people from other classes and the company commander around, I didn’t have a chance. I didn’t expect Brother Wang to act so quickly. Are you purposely changing shifts with me?”
Liang Fan realized the intention behind Wang Ye’s actions.
“I… Thank… Thank you…” Song Yuejin’s eyes welled up with tears as he expressed his gratitude.
He was already upset about being caught during the run and felt embarrassed. Not only was he embarrassing himself, but he was also letting down Class 5.
According to Ye Sanshi, if they didn’t give their all, they would drag everyone down. This was because they wouldn’t always run individually like this. Most of the time, they would run as a collective.
He was worried that the others in Class 5 would despise him.
He blamed himself for his poor performance.
However, he never expected that Wang Ye would deliberately switch shifts and secretly bring him breakfast. The other comrades in the class were standing guard at the door, fetching water for him and offering words of comfort.
This unexpected kindness made his heart feel as warm as the tears that had formed in his eyes.
“Alright, why are you crying? Don’t cry. Hurry up and eat until you have the strength to train. Besides, we are comrades, and helping each other is only natural. And the class monitor will be back soon. So, eat up!” Wang Ye said in a low voice.
At that moment, Qin Li hurried to the spot where the water kettle was placed and grabbed Song Yuejin’s kettle. “Drink some water to wash it down. Don’t choke!”
“Thank you… Thank you… Thank you, everyone!” Song Yuejin’s tears kept flowing. Even if Wang Ye had wiped them away, they would resurface.
But the steamed buns were being devoured. He ate hastily, taking big mouthfuls, and quickly washed it down with a sip of water. For Song Yuejin, this was an unimaginable scene. He had expected people to mock him for his performance. He had even anticipated others calling him worthless and saying unpleasant things. But he never expected that those anticipated scenarios didn’t materialize.
Now, there was a vice class monitor who took the initiative to switch shifts and secretly provide him with breakfast. His classmates were standing guard, bringing him water, and offering comfort.
This situation made him feel a warmth that brought tears of gratitude to his eyes.

About ten minutes later, footsteps approached from outside the door.
Everything in the dormitory had returned to normal.
It was just two steamed buns. Song Yuejin was worried that Ye Sanshi would discover them when he returned and implicate Wang Ye. So, he quickly consumed them within a minute.
For the rest of the time, he held back his emotions.
However, his eyes remained moist and slightly red as he bent over to tidy his blanket.
When Ye Sanshi entered the room, he didn’t say anything. He simply glanced around and said, “Be careful!”
Then, he took a seat on a small stool and waited for time to pass.

The morning training began, but everyone seemed a little distracted.
They were all waiting for the class monitors to return and announce the results.
The outcome would determine
whether the upcoming week would be comfortable or painful.
Among them, Class 5 was probably the most anxious.
Having tasted success, they didn’t want to lose it.
Last week, while the other classes had to wake up at four in the morning, they woke up at five. Even the weekend cleaning duties were relatively light. The advantages were undeniable.
No one wanted to lose these benefits.
Finally, close to nine o’clock, Wang Ye and the others stood in formation and saw Ye Sanshi and the rest approaching from a distance.
“It’s over, it’s over. Blackie doesn’t look happy!”
“Oh no, our class monitor doesn’t seem too pleased either!”
As they stood in formation, everyone’s gaze fixed on Ye Sanshi and the others. The expressions on their faces couldn’t go unnoticed by those in the formation.
The recruits from Squads Four and Five felt their hearts sink.
Only Class Six was still secretly hopeful.
Their class monitor was the platoon leader, and he hadn’t participated in the internal affairs selection since he was leading the training.
After the three squad leaders huddled together, Wang Ye and the others saw them exchange a few words. Then, they witnessed Ye Sanshi’s smile, and the platoon leader actually playfully hit him.
“Look, he’s smiling! Damn, the platoon leader is giving Blackie a hard time!” Qin Li almost broke his military posture in excitement.
He wasn’t the only one. The entire Class 5 was elated.
It seemed like a show!
As expected, when Ye Sanshi and the others entered, the platoon leader announced their dismissal. Ye Sanshi then took the fifth squad to a separate area and shared the news that brought joy to everyone.
“You all did well this week. Our moving red flag is safe!” Ye Sanshi announced, a smile lighting up his face.
“Oh yeah!”
“Haha, we did it!”
Class 5 erupted with cheers and applause. Everyone jumped up, momentarily disregarding their formation.
Ye Sanshi didn’t try to stop them. He was delighted that Class 5 had once again secured the moving red flag. He didn’t mind the temporary disruption caused by their excitement.
However, the celebration was short-lived.
“Alright, settle down. I have something else to announce!”
A dozen seconds later, Ye Sanshi raised his hand, halting the cheers.
Once everyone had quieted down completely, he looked at Wang Ye with a smile and said, “Vice Class Monitor Wang has made significant contributions. This time, he has been awarded the title of Internal Affairs Model. Let’s give him a round of applause, everyone!”
“Ah!”
Everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Applause filled the air.
Wang Ye himself was slightly stunned. He had hoped to secure the title of Internal Affairs Model this week and complete the system mission. However, he wasn’t entirely confident. Though he had meticulously tidied his blanket, he didn’t consider it up to par with the highest-level blanket-stacking skill.
He could only describe it as average or even just passable.
Yet, surprises often arrived when least expected.
With a bewildered expression, Wang Ye broke into a smile. Addressing the applauding crowd, he said, “Thank you, thank you, everyone!”
Ye Sanshi waited for about ten seconds before calling for everyone’s attention once more.
“At the moment, even though some of our classmates are dissatisfied with their physical training, I will temporarily approve of your performance in internal affairs. Of course, we still need to work harder in the future,” Ye Sanshi remarked.
These words caused Song Yuejin, who was among the recruits, to lower his head slightly, feeling a bit ashamed. Qin Li also appeared embarrassed.
Fortunately, Ye Sanshi didn’t use this opportunity to criticize them.
“Regarding physical fitness,” Ye Sanshi continued, “I hope that some of you will make a personal effort to improve. I won’t say much more.”
As for internal affairs, starting from today, everything would be handed over to Vice Class Monitor Wang. There are also new regulations to be implemented. This is a crucial matter for all of you, and you have one week to adapt. I hope you can have a relaxed morning this weekend.”
If Song Yuejin and Qin Li felt somewhat uncomfortable before, Ye Sanshi’s words now made everyone in the class, except for Wang Ye and Deng Hai, feel awkward and uneasy.
Rules and regulations!
What a headache.
