Chapter 27: The Best Recon Soldier—Where Does Lin Yi Belong?
The morning sun cast its golden light over the military camp.
Shouts of determination echoed across the training grounds as the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company engaged in an intense training session. Soldiers practised hand-to-hand combat, weight-bearing endurance runs, and tactical drills.
From the steps of the company office, Captain Miao and the political instructor stood with their arms crossed, silently observing the training with satisfaction. Meanwhile, Zhuang Yan, dressed in his combat uniform, stood beside them, holding a cup of tea for Captain Miao. Seeing how well the soldiers performed, Miao’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. Zhuang Yan took the opportunity to step forward, offering the tea. Miao glanced at the cup but shook his head.
“I don’t want it.”
Zhuang Yan hesitated.
“Just take a sip,” he suggested.
Miao shot him a cold stare.
Immediately, Zhuang Yan retracted his hand and stood at attention, not daring to speak further.
“Bring me my folder.”
“Huh?”
Zhuang Yan was caught off guard.
“My folder,” Miao repeated, his tone firm.
“Oh! Right away!”
Without another word, Zhuang Yan turned and hurried back into the office to retrieve the requested document.
The political instructor watched this exchange with genuine curiosity.
“Captain Miao,” he asked, “how did you manage to tame this kid?”
“Zhuang Yan is notorious for being a troublemaker. Every other unit refused to take him in.”
“But here? He’s completely obedient under your command.”
Miao chuckled.
“There’s no such thing as an ‘untrainable’ soldier,” he replied confidently.
“As long as he chooses to wear this uniform, I can shape him into a real soldier.”
Miao then looked out at the field, where Zhuang Yan had once fought Zheng Sanpao—the most experienced reconnaissance veteran.
“This kid’s got guts,” he continued.
“He dared to go up against our toughest sergeant, which means he’s got the fire in him.”
“And he’s got heart too. You saw him cry over his comrades, didn’t you?”
“Any soldier who values brotherhood is worth training.”
“In time, he will become an outstanding reconnaissance soldier.”
The political instructor nodded but still had his doubts.
“He’s only eighteen,” he said.
“Still just a kid. He hasn’t even grown into his full potential yet.”
Miao smirked.
“I know,” he said.
“Oh? What’s this? The tough guy is crying?” he teased.
Zhuang Yan wiped his face and scowled.
“I’m not crying,” he muttered.
Miao snatched the folder from his hands.
“Get out of my sight,” he barked.
“You’re embarrassing me.”
Zhuang Yan bit his lip and turned away, heading toward a quiet corner of the base.

Sitting on the edge of a military truck, Zhuang Yan stared at the ground, deep in thought.
He didn’t notice First Platoon Leader Chen Guotao approaching.
“What’s wrong, kid?” Chen asked.
“You look like a mother hen brooding over her eggs.”
Zhuang Yan looked up.
“Chen Platoon Leader,” he greeted.
Chen studied his face.
“Did Captain Miao yell at you again?”
Zhuang Yan shook his head.
“Then what’s got you so down?”
Zhuang Yan hesitated before clenching his fists.
“Do you think I have what it takes to become the best reconnaissance soldier?” he asked.
Chen’s expression turned serious.
“You might,” he said.
“It all depends on how hard you’re willing to work.”
Zhuang Yan’s eyes burned with determination.
“I want to be the best,” he declared.
“But not just for myself.”
“I want to prove Captain Miao right.”
Chen chuckled.
“If you really become the best, it won’t just be for Miao.”
“You’ll be making our entire regiment, division, and army proud.”
He patted Zhuang Yan’s shoulder.
“Now get out there and prove yourself.”
As Chen walked away, Zhuang Yan sat there for a moment, his mind finally at peace. For the first time, he felt a real sense of belonging. And for the first time, he understood what it truly meant to be a soldier.
