stepping into the night

The military training starts after the opening ceremony for freshmen. At 06:30 in the morning, all freshmen are required to go to the playground for a flag-raising ceremony. An alarm is set in the dormitory, and they all wake up at six o'clock.

"Who the hell said that college life is easy?" Zhou Yue yawned as he climbed down the ladder, "My old swan, it's only six o'clock, and I didn't get up so early in my third year of high school. "

When his complaints finally subsided, Ruan Chu had already washed and dressed, and was studying how to wear a hat by the closet.

"Why is this trouser waist so big?" Zhou Yue raised his head inadvertently, and saw that Ruan Chu on the opposite side had packed it up. He was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Ruan Chu, you cleaned it up so quickly, don't you think the trouser waist is too big?" Is it a lot? I'm really afraid that I'll drop my pants when I go out later."

"Don't you know that you wear a belt?" Ye Xingzhi looked at the gentle and refined man and looked up, and couldn't help but speak in a bad tone when he heard Zhou Yue's nagging.

"Mine are all made of real leather," Zhou Yue frowned, "It's too reckless."

"Then go and ask the uncle downstairs to tie the waste rope to the waist of your trousers." Zhao Tong laughed, and turned to look at Ruan Chu and said in surprise, "Xiao Ruan, your waist is too thin, I feel like I I can pick you up with one hand."

"As long as you have a big arm and a thick waist, you can pick me up with one hand." Zhou Yue said, "Girls nowadays like Ruan Chu, the type of little milk dog."

Zhou Yue rubbed his lips, but it only took less than 10 minutes to clean up the whole dormitory. When he went out, Zhou Yue squeezed a big lump of sunscreen into his palm, rubbed it on his face as he walked, and played tricks Wipe some on the faces of Ye Xingzhi and Ruan Chu, Ye Xingzhi wiped it off calmly, Ruan Chu was stunned for a moment, and silently wiped off some by himself.

Zhou Yue had his hair styled on purpose, and he never wore a hat until the military training began. Ye Xingzhi also had a bit of the burden of a young master, and put it in his schoolbag. Zhao Tong felt that he didn't wear it, and Ruan Chu was two steps behind them. I've been trying to get the hat on, but it tends to slip off my head.

"Embroidery, you? Didn't you wake up just now? Why are you still dawdling on the road?" Zhao Tong found that the 611 four-member team had lost someone when he walked halfway. Looking back, Ruan Chu was still behind , walked two steps quickly, grabbed his shoulders and led him forward, making Ruan Chu stagger a few steps.

"This hat is not stable." Ruan Chu explained to him what he had tried out in a bit of distress.

"It's nothing, just buy a girl's hair clip in the supermarket later. Zhou Yue pestered me to tell you about this when the assistant class from the mathematics department came to distribute the military training uniforms yesterday." Zhao Tong nodded , "Hey, do you want to buy ice water?"

"No need," Ruan Chu shook his head, "I've got the water in the cup."

"The water room on the other side of the corridor supplies boiled water." Zhao Tong was stunned.

"I know, I picked it up last night."

On the first day of military training, they only stood in a military posture for the whole morning. Even so, the students who had just enjoyed the "extravagant and lustful" summer vacation life were exhausted. As soon as the password to disband was given, there were complaints from all over the place.

"I feel like my feet are not my own anymore," Zhou Yue leaned weakly on Ye Xingzhi's body, and didn't have the time to dislike the smell of sweat on both of them, "Mr. Ye, can you feel it? It's Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale It feels like the little mermaid in the movie walking on the tip of a knife, but I haven't found my prince yet."

"The Little Mermaid finally turned into a bubble and died, and her prince slept with other women, do you think too?" Ye Xingzhi was also a little tired, which directly caused his poisonous tongue to be a few levels higher than usual, but also He didn't push away Zhou Yue who was half leaning on him.

"..." Zhou Yue was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Ye Xingzhi, you are so fucking vicious sometimes."

When the two went to the stands to pick up their schoolbags, Ruan Chu and Zhao Tong had already packed up their things and waited for them.

"Ruan Chu, why don't you sweat?" Zhou Yue looked at Ruan Chu, and found that he was still looking fair and clean after a whole morning of sun exposure. He was quite puzzled, "I've lost all my sunscreen."

"I just wiped off my sweat." Ruan Chu blinked and answered his question with a smile.

"Don't stand here and talk," Ye Xingzhi said, "Talk slowly on the road, and you will have to wait in line when you go to the cafeteria later."

"Ah, I wanted to go to the third cafeteria in the southern district to eat," Zhou Yue stood up straight, and the four of them swayed to the outside of the track and field field, "but with the little physical strength I have now, it is 500 yuan. I want to crawl to the first cafeteria that is less than one meter away."

"It's not that serious," Zhao Tong began to laugh when he saw his exaggerated appearance, "Xiao Ruan, who looks the weakest in our dormitory, is not as serious as you."

The other three people in the dormitory looked at him in unison, which made Ruan Chu a little flattered, and blinked with his red neck. The three of them looked at his cute and innocent appearance, and all smiled strangely and stretched out their hands to squeeze his head. Ruan Chu didn't resist, and obediently smoothed out the messed up hair with his fingers.

——He is a person who is used to working part-time all the year round. He often doesn't have much time to sit down and rest throughout the day. The intensity of military training is nothing to him.

It is the sunniest time at noon, and the gathering time for the military training in the afternoon is at two o'clock in the hottest time. Many students became dizzy and were sent to the infirmary after standing in the military posture for less than half an hour, and some of them pretended to be dizzy and lazy. The instructor saw it but didn't expose it. After all, they are all spoiled children at home. If something happens, they have to be held accountable.

By the end of the afternoon training, several people were too tired to go to the cafeteria to eat. Even Zhou Yue, who always demanded exquisiteness, poured down a bottle of ice water without caring about his image, and then went back to the dormitory to order takeaway.Zhao Tong didn't have much appetite at first, but when he faced Ruan Chu, he always had an inexplicable motherly attitude, so he accompanied Ruan Chu to the cafeteria for dinner, but Ruan Chu didn't realize that he meant to accompany him, and the two went back By the way, I helped Zhou Yue get takeaway.

"Where's Mr. Ye?" After a few days of getting along, Zhao Tong also called Ye Xingzhi that way, and when he returned to the dormitory, he found that Ye Xingzhi, who had always been with Zhou Yue, was not in the dormitory.

"Oh, he's going to the student union for an interview at night," Zhou Yue slumped on the bed, his legs trembling, and he came down the ladder with difficulty, and thanked the two of them, "He typed up a few more copies of the resume for the interview and put it in the dormitory , put it on the table for the two of you, if you have any job you want to interview for, just fill it out."

"Still doing resumes, it's strange to be formal." Zhao Tong opened the chair and sat down, carefully looked at the resume sheet curiously, and asked Ruan Chu without raising his head, "Youngest, do you want to interview for some department?" Yes, I think the self-discipline department and the study department are quite suitable for you."

"No, I won't go to the interview." Ruan Chu shook his head, and returned the resumes on his desk to Zhou Yue.

"Why didn't you go?" Zhou Yue raised his head suspiciously, "You had such good grades and good personality when you entered school, you can become the president of the student union just around the corner, brothers are still waiting for you to take us to the top to get some comprehensive test scores. "

"I don't have time." Ruan Chu smiled and shook his head, but did not explain what else he had to do.

"That's right. There must be a lot of messes in the student union. Meetings are held every day, and our high school is the same." Zhou Yue nodded clearly, "You have to study hard, and you can't be stumbled by such things."

Ruan Chu lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, without any excuse, he went back to his desk and sat looking at the recruitment information in the campus service group, but he wasn't sure if it was true or not, and he didn't dare to add it rashly.

"Hey, look at the class group." Zhao Tong took a shower and came out with his upper body naked. When he entered the bedroom from the balcony, he was shocked by the wind from the air conditioner. He hurriedly found out his short sleeves and put them on. Notice, "There is a bursary for poor students. I just had a private chat with the assistant class and I said that the information collection of our dormitory will be handed over to me first. After completing the application, send it to me, and then I will send it to the assistant class. There is no one to apply for in our dormitory. ?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Ruan Chu's gaze looking at him, earnest and gentle, but Zhao Tong instantly understood what he was hesitant to say.

Zhao Tong glanced away slightly, picked up the resume on his desk and looked at it, and said in the same tone: "If you have any, just fill in the application form and give the relevant materials to the assistant class—but I I also want to try to interview for some position, and if the score is not good, I can make up for the comprehensive test score."

Ruan Chu knew that he wanted to protect his self-esteem, so he asked him to hand it over to the assistant class instead of handing over the materials and application form to others.Although he has submitted similar applications and materials many times since he was a child, and he doesn't mind the status of this poor student, he is still very grateful to Zhao Tong for his silent consideration.

He bent his eyes, looked at Zhao Tong with gratitude through the clear lenses, and said "thank you" to him softly with his mouth.

Zhao Tong nodded, looking at the obedient and docile appearance of the youngest in the dormitory, he instantly felt that his old father's heart was going to overflow, and then he changed into a pair of pants and went to the student union department of the teaching building for an interview.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye from the military training, and everyone was visibly darkened. When Ruan Chu was washing his face at the sink, he could also see the white marks around his eyes after he took off his glasses.

However, the legendary scene where the seniors would come to watch the freshmen’s military training with watermelons did not appear, probably because it was too hot, and no one wanted to bask in the sun to watch the fun in this hot summer.

Instead, several helpers got together and bought watermelons to send to the students in the class. The helpers in English class [-] were girls, and they couldn’t lift it by themselves, so they asked some helpers from the mathematics department to come over. As expected, he saw Lin Jiang.

He originally thought that Lin Jiang had forgotten himself, so he stood silently by the side and planned to wait for the students to take them before going to get them, but he didn't expect Lin Jiang to catch a glimpse of himself standing in the back row, and squeezed a piece of Chaoyang with few seeds. Come over by yourself.

"What are you doing standing there? Aren't you thirsty?" Lin Jiang handed the watermelon to Ruan Chu. He was half a head taller than Ruan Chu, and he could clearly see the way Ruan Chu pinned the hat on his hair. Black hairpins, he also used them during military training back then, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with them, but Ruan Chu was already handsome, and wearing this on his slightly curly soft hair seemed a bit out of harmony cute.

Lin Jiang still couldn't help flicking the hairpin on his head with her fingers, and the black hair touched by her fingertips was as soft and soft as the person in front of her looked.

"Thank you, senior." Ruan Chu blinked, felt his hair being fiddled with but could not hide.

"Recently, the school has a bursary that can be applied for." Lin Jiang said softly, "The assistant classes of each class should have distributed the relevant documents and application requirements to the class."

"Well, I've already handed over the materials." Ruan Chu nodded truthfully.

This was the same as what Lin Jiang had guessed, but he didn't feel much pleased with his correct guess.

Sometimes encountering the same kind will bring a sense of identity and stability of "I am not alone", and it will also relax a certain string in Lin Jiang's heart that has been quietly tightened, but he feels that his psychology is particularly special. despicable.

The watermelon that was given to the classmates was gone, and several other assistants began to call Lin Jiang back, but Lin Jiang didn't say anything, and put her hands back into her trouser pockets, with no other expression on her face: "If you have something to do, come back again." Ask me, let’s go first, and go for military training.”

"Okay." Ruan Chu nodded, watching him run two quick steps to catch up with the assistants in front before slowing down and walking outside the track and field.

Only then did he suddenly realize that just now Lin Jiang had been standing in front of him to shield him from the hot sun.
