He waved his hands while running, as if he was afraid of being invisible.
Finally, he was by Adam's side.
Adam gave him a sidelong glance. Although his face was still expressionless, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. "You're back."
"Yes!" Carter nodded like a happy dog and shouted, "Captain Chin, I've been away for so many days. You must have missed me so much! Aww, I knew it! I'm your wingman! You're not used to it when I'm not around!"
"Speak normally," Adam commanded in a deep voice.
Carter stood at attention and saluted. "Captain Chin, all the transfer orders have been completed. I arrived by plane this morning."
"I see," Adam nodded.
Carter's serious expression didn't last for more than a second, and he was soon back to himself. "Captain Chin, you don't even know how boring it was for me to be in the south after you left! Now that I've finally been transferred back, the army has given me ten days of leave so that I can !"
"Got it," Adam said.
Carter hadn't seen Adam for a long time, so he couldn't stop talking. "Captain Chin, is my sister-in-law here at the Medical University?"
When they returned to the army after combating floods and the disasterrelief work, they were all sent to the military base. At that time, Adam applied for a transfer immediately after making a phone call. Therefore, Carter knew better than anyone that Adam had come back for his girl.
Adam's eyes suddenly flickered. "Carter."
Carter's face was blank. Adam's gaze made his stomach lurch a little. "Captain Chin, what's wrong?"
Adam smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so many days. After I left, did you train yourself well?"
"Of course!" Carter replied.
"Really? Let me take a look." Adam nodded. He casually pointed with his finger. "There's no weight here, so you don't have to run cross-country. Let's run from there to the starting point. It's a competition. Let's see if you've fallen behind!"
This was a military order. Carter stood straight at once. "Yes, sir!"
Carter walked excitedly as he followed Adam through the students and up to the starting point. He wanted to perform well in front of Adam to prove that he hadn't been lazy and that he was still worthy to be Adam's buddy.
With a whistle, the two men ran forward on their military boots.
Carter was 1.85m tall. However, Adam was 1.88m, which had certainly surpassed him. Adam was also tall and strong. Moving his long legs, he easily ran past Carter in the blink of an eye.
They weren't the only people on the running track. Anthea, who was punished to run laps, was in front of them.
Although the weather in the north wasn't hot in September, at noontime, the sun was still very strong. Right now, the sun was covered by thick clouds. She took a few breaths, adjusted her breathing, and tried to preserve her strength as much as possible.
When she was about to finish the first lap, she suddenly heard steady footsteps behind her.
A tall shadow gradually enveloped her from behind. Anthea could feel the familiar masculine aura on his body.
She couldn't help but feel stunned.
When the footsteps came to her side, Anthea turned her head and saw Adam's handsome profile.
Anthea was shocked. "You..."
The dean had come in person. Adam was just the chief instructor of the military training, and he had no way to intervene.
No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for him to use his power to seek personal gains in public. So many people were watching. Although he couldn't stop her from being punished, he could still keep her company.
His eyes were shining under the sun, and he said with a teasing smile, "You can't pay for the price of sleeping with me alone."
Anthea's face turned red.
On the running track, the two ran shoulder-to-shoulder.
After Adam came to her side, he slowed down and followed her rhythm, running forward with her. Their shadows stretched long on the track.
