Chapter 414 Their Story (5)
In the following days, Lan Xi began to devote herself to daily training. The children who received training with Lan Xi were all children of similar age, and without exception, they were all carefully selected from orphanages. Since Lan Xi was weak and had relatively poor physical fitness since childhood, the training was much more difficult than other children and required more effort.
However, Lan Xi did not give up halfway because of her physical condition. On the contrary, she always worked harder and sweated more than others in training. When night fell, when other children had already washed up and fell asleep, Lan Xi stayed alone on the training ground and continued her hard training. Sometimes, she would even be covered with scars, but she never complained. Because Lan Xi knew that only by making herself stronger could she better protect herself from being bullied by others. After all, no one can guarantee that they will stay by your side and protect you from harm for the rest of your life.
That night, Lan Xi trained at the training ground until late as usual. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and the pain from her wounds was almost unbearable, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Suddenly, Lan Xi heard a slight sound of footsteps, and looked around vigilantly. She saw a figure approaching quietly, and Lan Xi immediately took a defensive posture.
"It's me, don't be nervous." The person said softly, and Lan Xi saw Gu Tingyan standing in front of her in the moonlight. Gu Tingyan looked at Lan Xi silently, with a flash of admiration in his eyes, and more of heartache.
Gu Tingyan has seen Lan Xi's efforts during this period. Seeing the young Lan Xi with injuries all over her body due to training, Gu Tingyan felt distressed, but he knew that this was a necessary process to become an agent. If you can't bear this pain and injury, you won't be able to be an agent.
"Girl, I see your hard work, but overtraining is not good for your body. You still need to rest."
Lan Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand, but my natural capital is weak. I don't want to fall behind others, and I don't want to become a burden to the organization."
Gu Tingyan reached out and touched Lan Xi's forehead: "Girl, you have done very well. However, sometimes working too hard is not a good thing. You must learn to protect yourself and continue tomorrow." Lan Xi nodded and turned to leave the training ground. Lan Xi knew that as long as she worked hard, her efforts would not be in vain, and one day, she would make herself strong enough.
During Lanxi's training, in addition to Gu Tingyan who secretly observed Lanxi and accompanied her every day, Wuyou was also by Lanxi's side, accompanying her every day. Seeing Lanxi's bruises every day due to the hard training, Lanxi felt distressed, but she could do nothing. She could not empathize with Lanxi and could not share her pain. The only thing Wuyou could do was to accompany Lanxi silently.
Wuyou never thought that becoming an excellent and qualified agent would be so hard. Every day of training, Lanxi would appear on the training ground early to meet the challenges of the new day. Although the pain in her body had not completely dissipated, Lanxi's eyes were full of determination. Wuyou also came to the training ground as usual, sitting quietly aside, watching Lanxi. Every time Lanxi punched and kicked, Wuyou felt sincere admiration.
After the training, Wuyou would follow Lanxi out of the training ground. Although Lanxi still couldn't feel Wuyou's presence, Wuyou had already gotten used to being by Lanxi's side every day.
The days passed by like a flash, and eight years passed in the blink of an eye. Lan Xi had grown from a little girl into a graceful young lady, and her beauty became more and more dazzling.
Soon, Lan Xi welcomed her 18th birthday. On this day, Gu Tingyan, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared on the training ground. Lan Xi had just finished training and was about to return to the dormitory to rest. When Lan Xi saw Gu Tingyan, she immediately walked quickly to Gu Tingyan's side.
"Girl, are you tired?" Gu Tingyan asked gently.
Lan Xi smiled and shook her head: "I'm not tired, I've long been accustomed to this lifestyle."
Gu Tingyan gently stroked Lan Xi's head: "Tomorrow is your eighteenth birthday, and also your coming-of-age ceremony. I've asked for a day off for you. I'll take you to the place you've always wanted to go tomorrow, okay?"
Lan Xi's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "The place I want to go most is... an amusement park?"
Gu Tingyan smiled and nodded: "Yes, do you want to go?"
Lan Xi nodded excitedly: "Yes!"
At that moment, Lan Xi's heart was filled with joy and anticipation. She knew that this birthday would be different.
That night, Lan Xi lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. She was too excited to calm down because she was going to the amusement park she had dreamed of the next day. Lan Xi tossed and turned in bed, with various amusement facilities and joyful scenes constantly appearing in her mind.
Wuyou sat quietly beside the bed, watching Lanxi so happy, but an indescribable bitterness surged in his heart. Wuyou knew that this moment might be Lanxi's happiest time, but it also meant that they were about to part.
