Fire Captain

Time flies by, and it never turns back...

One day, Fan Shengmei's desk mate Zhao Luyao came up to her quietly and told her that she was in love. When Fan Shengmei asked, it turned out to be Yuan Shuai, the classmate who asked her to forward the love letter. Fan Shengmei was immediately dumbfounded. What was going on?

At first, Bai Ziyang was quite shocked by her. Although Bai Ziyang thought it was not a big deal, the key point was that it was her first time writing a love letter, and she was a pure little boy. She was embarrassed at first, and yet this was the result. She was depressed for several days.

Zhao Luyao felt sorry for the other person's words, so when they met again she chattered a few words to comfort him... Well, although it wasn't on the point, it at least comforted Yuan Shuai. The two who originally didn't know each other became acquainted. After a while, during the summer vacation, the two actually met in the same cram school. They were together for the entire summer vacation and finally got together officially on the eve of school starting.

After listening to Zhao Luyao's shy story about the two of them, Fan Shengmei couldn't hide her sweet smile, which made her teeth ache, but she couldn't help but secretly envy her. Who said that a high school without love is not a complete high school?

Zhao Luyao noticed Fan Shengmei's envy and teased her, "You and your handsome Bai have been childhood sweethearts. All the girls in the school envy you. Why do you still envy me?"

When Fan Shengmei heard this, she thought of Bai Ziyang and couldn't help blushing and said stubbornly: "What? We are neighbors, he is my good buddy!"

Zhao Luyao rolled her eyes and said, "I still remember the scene when we were reporting. My good friends were wearing couple outfits?"

Fan Shengmei said: "What couple outfits? No way!"

Anyway, Zhao Luyao looked at Fan Shengmei with disbelief, and Fan Shengmei stomped her feet and left in a hurry.

But Bai Ziyang, who was at the corner that they didn't see, was still standing there, wondering about the "good buddy" that Fan Shengmei mentioned.

In the afternoon, the two classes had physical education class together. In high school, there was one less physical education class. Fan Shengmei was upset by Zhao Luyao's words in the morning. She was just looking for a secluded and shady place to cool off when she was suddenly pulled behind a big tree by the school wall.

There were two people standing behind the tall and dense poplar tree, but no one noticed them. Bai Ziyang leaned on the tree trunk with one hand and forced Fan Shengmei to lean against the tree trunk. Fan Shengmei glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Bai Ziyang bent his arms slightly, approached Fan Shengmei and said, "I heard... I'm your good friend?"

Fan Shengmei was suddenly speechless as she watched Bai Ziyang approaching her. She tried to lean back but could only lean against the tree trunk and said, "Who...who...did you listen to?"

Bai Ziyang pinched her chubby cheeks and said, "Didn't you say this yourself this morning?"

Fan Shengmei played dumb and said with a smile: "Then... or... good sister?"

Bai Ziyang suddenly licked his little fangs and grinned, looking a little evil in Fan Shengmei's eyes as he said: "You can say that I am your good friend, remember... not a good buddy!" A man must never give a woman the illusion of being a good buddy, unless you really want to be her good buddy.

After saying this, Bai Ziyang turned and left, leaving Fan Shengmei alone with a confused look on her face. She stood there for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking about. Her face inexplicably turned red for a while, and then she smiled.

"Senior Bai!"

Bai Ziyang, a senior in high school, was walking on campus when he was stopped by a freshman. Bai Ziyang walked around her and found that the junior was still persistent and ran in front of him again. She stopped and asked, "This lady..."

The freshman said, "Senior Bai, my name is Mo Yan. I just entered the first grade of class one this year. I have heard that our senior Bai from No. 1 High School was admitted with the first place in the class. He has been the top student in the grade for the past three years. I have always admired you..." Then she took out a letter and handed it over, saying, "Please accept this letter."

Bai Ziyang didn't answer the letter. This kind of situation would happen several times every year when new students enrolled. In the past, Bai Ziyang wouldn't say anything. He would probably just smile and leave. He would find two old students to explain it to her later. But now... Bai Ziyang glanced at the person next to him and said, "I'm sorry, classmate. I already have a girlfriend!"

Bai Ziyang stood at the school gate, pushing the cart and waiting for a while, and Fan Shengmei hurried over with her schoolbag on her back. The two of them walked in silence for a while, and finally Fan Shengmei couldn't help but said first: "Hey, I just heard that another little girl confessed to you, she's pretty!"

Bai Ziyang pretended to be indifferent and said: "Well, it's okay."

Fan Shengmei joked: "It is said that a high school without romance is an incomplete one. What kind of person do you want to find? I will introduce one to you. You can also have a romance before graduation to make up for the perfect high school."

Bai Ziyang took advantage of his height, glanced at Fan Shengmei and said, "I'm afraid you can't get what I want."

Fan Shengmei was so angry that he said, "Hey, if you like something, just tell me what you are capable of. If you can't handle it, I can handle it."

Bai Ziyang said: "I think you are quite good the way you are."

Fan Shengmei: “…………” Oh my god… foul…

On the way home, Fan Shengmei was nervous all the way, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. On the contrary, after Bai Ziyang said those words, it was as if they were not his words, and his expression was very natural.

Seeing that Fan Shengmei was still rushing forward when they were almost at the doorstep, Bai Ziyang had no choice but to hold her back and said, "Hey, all right! Since I think what you said makes perfect sense, so... isn't my girlfriend going to give me a kiss to celebrate?"

Fan Shengmei slapped him on the face and said, "Who is your girlfriend? How come I don't know?"

Bai Ziyang held Fan Shengmei's hands and placed them on his chest and said seriously: "From the day I met you, I wanted you to be my girlfriend. Give me a chance, let me take care of you, protect you, and treat you well for the rest of my life! Okay?"

Fan Shengmei looked away unconsciously at Bai Ziyang's affectionate and focused gaze. She had always known that Bai Ziyang was good to her, but she was ignorant of it before. But now when she thought about it bit by bit, all her memories were filled with Bai Ziyang. She was afraid that she would never be able to let go of this man in this life.

Bai Ziyang smiled. Without Fan Shengmei realizing it, she had already agreed. Bai Ziyang took Fan Shengmei's hands and placed them on her waist, then hugged her in his arms.

No matter what, both of them had to go back to their own homes and see their own mothers. They made an appointment to go out on a date together the next weekend. The next day, when Bai Ziyang was waiting at the door of Fan Shengmei's house, he suddenly saw Fan Shengmei rushing out with her head down and her face covered, running forward non-stop. Bai Ziyang hurriedly followed behind her.

After running for a while, Bai Ziyang finally caught up with Fan Shengmei, only to see that Fan Shengmei's face was covered with tears. Bai Ziyang quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Fan Shengmei's face while asking, "What happened? Did you have a fight with your family?" In an instant, Bai Ziyang thought of various situations.

Fan Shengmei said: "Today when we talked about which university to apply to, I realized that they didn't want me to go to university at all. They had already found a factory for me to work in."

Bai Ziyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was something else, so it's like this?"

Fan Shengmei was feeling sad. When she heard Bai Ziyang's relaxed tone, she couldn't help but push him and said angrily, "You're still talking!"

Bai Ziyang looked around, then pulled Fan Shengmei to a small park not far away, found a clean place to sit down, and then said, "Shengmei, have you decided which university to apply to?"

Fan Shengmei shook her head and asked, "Which school do you want to apply to?"

Bai Ziyang said: "I will apply to a military academy, the best one."

Fan Shengmei was stunned and said, "Military school?"

Bai Ziyang said: "My grandfather was a soldier, my parents were also soldiers, I grew up in a military compound when I was a child, I also admired soldiers, so I wanted to be the best soldier!"

Fan Shengmei then realized that it was no wonder that she always felt that Grandpa Bai and Father and Mother Bai had a special temperament when she met them before, because there was probably no soldier in the Fan family for three generations, and she rarely saw soldiers on weekdays, so she didn't notice it. Now that she thought about it, even Mother Bai was so high-spirited. Fan Shengmei suddenly had a sincere yearning.

He said immediately: "I want to join you in the military academy entrance exam, and I want to join the best military academy!"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Okay! Leave your family matters to me!"

Since Bai Ziyang said to leave it to him, all Fan Shengmei had to do was to study hard. Although her college entrance examination score was not as good as Bai Ziyang's, it was rare for her to exceed the military academy's score line by more than 20 points. Moreover, Fan Shengmei's physical fitness, reaction ability, and memory were all first-class. Such a person was naturally welcome in the military academy, and she would not be short of a scholarship.

As for the Fan family, Bai Ziyang thought they were too easy to deal with. It was just a matter of money. In addition to the scholarship, Bai Ziyang also told them that others had to pay to go to college, but if they went to military school, they would be soldiers and would receive an allowance every month. In this day and age, working in a factory only earned around 600 yuan, and even if it was a high-paying job, it was only around 800 yuan. If Fan Shengmei was allowed to go to school, she would be able to remit at least 800 yuan every month. Moreover, Fan Shengmei would not be eating and living at home anymore, and the freed-up room could be used to find a wife for his son. It was such a good thing that they quickly agreed.

Bai Ziyang sneered as he walked out, "Laugh, I hope your dream can last a little longer."

Children are ignorant when they are young, and after entering junior high school, they have reached the age to understand some things. It is the critical time for character formation. Then Bai Ziyang comes, so now Fan Shengmei's personality is very different from before. At least Bai Ziyang has taught her what it means to be black-bellied. After all, the saying "birds of a feather flock together" is true. Six years is enough for the subtle influence.

When the two of them left, no one asked anyone to see them off. It was impossible for the Fan family to send anyone to see them off. As Grandpa Bai had become older in the past two years, Dad Bai was worried and insisted on taking him to live with him.
