Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Mu Yuan had always felt that he was considered to be stronger. Even if he was rejected, he could still accept it. It was just a one-sided crush. He did not expect Jack to give him the same feelings, nor did he expect Jack to respond to him even a little. However, he still felt embarrassed and in pain as if he had been stripped naked. He stood in the pool, and his head almost drooped into the pool. He felt guilty, lost, helpless, and disappointed. He was extremely disappointed in himself.

Jack leaned against the cold wall of the pool. He seemed to want to say something, but he could not say it. Mu Yuan heard the sound of water, the sound of the cupboard being opened, followed by footsteps. The entire bathhouse returned to silence. Drip, drip. It was extremely quiet. All of this was like a dream after he had drunk. When he woke up from the dream, nothing was left.

It was like a dream, a dream of self-satisfaction.

The training period passed very quickly, and in a flash, half a year had passed. There were only three months left until the end of the training. Perhaps Jack’s words had an effect, as mu Yuan did not have so many distracting thoughts after that. He trained harder than others and was able to endure the loneliness more. Although he did not complete all the tests, he had done most of it. His ranking had also risen from eighth to third, receiving the praise of all the instructors. He was already seventeen years old, and in a few months, he would be eighteen.

He would be able to return to China before the new year.

If everything went as planned, he would be able to graduate from West Point.

In this half a year, five people were eliminated, and only ten people were left. Eugene was the only one left. The others were eliminated, and this was the last person to stay.

Mu Yuan wondered if this was considered as having a low EQ but being proud of one's career.

In the past half a year, he had rarely heard any news about Jack. He had almost never heard any news about Jack, but he could block any news about him. Of course, if he couldn't confess, he wouldn't be narrow-minded and treat him as an enemy. However, he didn't want to think about it. He just wanted to treat this expectation that had been suppressed in the bottom of his heart as a wishful thinking to avoid a resurgence. He couldn't bear being rejected again. He wasn't such an unreasonable person. When Jack clearly stated that they were mortal enemies in this life, he still wouldn't let go. That would be too ... Lacking in self-respect.

Jack was a person who would finish what he started. Initially, he did not want to join this time's graduation, but the instructors had strongly requested for him to come. The last three months of teaching would be actual combat training, and there would be no elimination rules or training rules. Although it was not time yet, they had already graduated. The main reason why Jack was allowed to lead the team was that he had outstanding combat achievements and had a lot of experience. He was similar in age to them and was very clear about them. He knew how to teach them. They were most assured to leave the actual combat training to Jack.

Unable to resist the coaching team's request, Jack reluctantly agreed. He had been avoiding mu Yuan to begin with. In the few months of his coaching career after mu Yuan confessed, he tried his best to avoid mu Yuan.

At that time, the base was abuzz with discussions. Of course, they would not treat it as a real matter. They said that mu Yuan was drunk and had grown bolder. He dared to molest their instructor and so on. The base was full of rumors, and he deliberately avoided mu Yuan. Naturally, no one would think that it was them. Mu Yuan also said that he had drunk too much. Now that half a year had passed, that matter should have died down.

They were all soldiers and had strong willpower. Recently, they would occasionally look at mu Yuan's training report, and their improvement was gratifying.
