Those cadets were simple creatures. If you won their hearts, you would win their respects
And Bun had impressed them and earned their respects.
"Very well. Now let's take ten minutes to rest, and we'll resume our training."
Bun glanced at her watch, and there were still half an hour before the morning training was over. Bun only took charge of the morning, and she was supposed to go to the bookstore with Linda in the afternoon.
Lying on the ground, Sarah Shen was much better and less breathless after taking a long rest. However, she could still feel the pain all over her body. And her cheeks were aching mildly but persistently.
She hadn't worked out for quite a while, and therefore her body was apparently not used to the sudden exercises.
It was really painful.
Ten minutes later, Bun asked them to stand at attention.
It was actually kind of an act of mercy, for standing still was much more comfortable than other trainings. Bun was planning to go easy on them in the last half an hour.
But clearly Sarah Shen didn't think so. She still felt Bun was against her on purpose.
Sarah Shen's fury was almost reaching its zenith. She could barely sit up properly at the moment, and how was she supposed to stand at attention? Standing upright meant more energy loss, and she would only be more exhausted than she already had been.
However, others all took their positions and stood still at Bun's order. Though they were just as tired as Sarah Shen was, they didn't want to give up.
Sarah Shen couldn't help cursing silently, "What the hell is wrong with these people? It's only a training program. Do you seriously need to obey every word she said?"
It hadn't even been 60 seconds when Sarah Shen slouched again. Bun noticed and shouted at her, "Chest up! What? Are you pregnant? Or trying to hide something? "
After being mocked by Bun again, Sarah Shen was totally humiliated.
She gave Bun a hostile look and yelled, "You are just picking on me, aren't you? Madam! I know we had some issues, but this is police officers academy! Aren't you afraid I report you to the authority?"
"As you said, this is the police officers academy, not your own house. We are now in the middle of your training program, and I'm your instructor, which means you have to obey my order. Take a look around. Everyone else is standing here just as you do. Or are you trying to ask for special treatment?"
Replied Bun sourly. And all of a sudden she thought of a phrase she once heard, "Drama queen".
"You!"
"What? Want to go back to running again? Chin up, chest out, shoulders back, stomach in and eyes front! 25 more minutes to go! Come on! Unless you don't want to have lunch!"
Sarah Shen was too tired to talk back, and so she looked aside and said nothing more.
In the meantime, Brian Ho drove Linda to the nearby bookstore.
But Brian Ho left Linda alone in the store and went for Bun right after he got the address from Linda. Linda felt so angry when she noticed that he had sneaked away.
However, Brian Ho at least had the courtesy to call Charles Mu first before he left.
"Charles, where are you?"
"Hmm? In the company."
"Linda is in the bookstore right now. You'd better come and get her. I'm not sure whether she will be safe on her own."
"What do you mean? She is supposed to be at home and wait for Bun at this hour..."
"Well... It's a long story. And a quite complicated one, I'm afraid. Let's not talk about this right now. Anyway, you go get Linda. I have got an emergency and I've got to run. Bye."
