Luo Shen stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the vast forest, hearing the green patent leather train slowly approaching along the winding railway behind him, and then gradually moving away on the other side of his body.
The wind blew, and there was a dead silence among the trees.
There was no wind, no birds chirping, and no life.
Except for the old box train that came and went away from his back countless times, time had no meaning at all here.

As soon as he entered the office, Lao Cai threw a pile of materials over from a distance and landed in Luo Shen's arms accurately: "Look at your employment intentions, your entrance score of 673 in the college entrance examination, and ranking first in your major every year. Just to get you out of the exam and work in the border defense?"
Lao Cai picked up the enamel teapot and took a sip of tea. He felt his mouth was burnt by the tea, so he simply threw the teapot away: "You don't even know what your identity is, and you hand it over with your employment intention - I dare to hand it over, but their border defense department dares to accept it?! Ah?"
"The country trained you, and this is how you repay the country?"
Luo Shen kicked his feet, both feet together, and stood up straight. He also arranged the materials in his hands and held them neatly in his palms: "Report to the instructor, the country's training and the school's teachings, students will not forget it for a moment."
"Also, serving the motherland and joining the defense, such a noble ideal, also requires us to put it into action. This is an honor and a mission!"
For a moment, Lao Cai became even more angry, pointing at his nose and scolding: "Glory, mission? Everyone has their own glory, and everyone has their own mission. Can you get the honor and mission of joining the defense team in your turn?"
Luo Shen coughed twice, and the sun shone down from behind him, making his pale and cold complexion more conspicuous: "Comrade Lao Cai, this is your ideological mistake. All people are born equal, and the mission and glory are regardless of high or low. It is worth the efforts of each of our military cadets to practice it."
"——Luo Shen!"
Luo Shen stood up straighter and straighter, and responded in a short and sonorous voice: "Here we go!"
"As the old saying goes, no matter how capable you are, how big the bowl you carry, you also have to bear the same responsibility - especially when you have enjoyed state welfare benefits and cultivated you all the way to where you are now!"
Luo Shen raised his head, faced Lao Cai's wrinkled face, and took a deep breath: "Report to the instructor, I would rather... Not enjoy this part of the benefits."
"But you have no choice!" Lao Cai said sternly, "You are a military relative, you are an orphan, and you are a guide! In the first half of your life, the country has taken care of you, partly because you are an orphan from the military, and partly because you are good enough -"
"The country doesn't need you to spend the rest of your life repaying it. The country just... Needs you to contribute when it needs you."
Luo took a deep breath, and his upright posture slowly collapsed. He was silent for a long time: "... I know, but Lao Cai, you know that I am not a guide in the true sense."

I don't know how to write copy, so I intercepted part of the first chapter to pretend to be a preview.
