immature

When the bell rang the next day, Xi Yan woke up with his pillow on Zhong Qin's palm.

He slept soundly all night and didn't even change his posture. When he heard the piercing ringing, he was very unhappy, so he groaned and buried his face in Zhong Qin's hands while rubbing his hands.

Zhong Qin, who was forced to sleep all night without being able to change his position, pinched the man's face with his fingers, his voice was lower than usual, whether it was because he was depressed or because he had just woken up: "...wake up, my hands are numb."

Xi Yan is like a monkey who wants to drill into Wuzhi Mountain, he is dishonest when his face is pinched, and his brain is not very good.

He didn't even open his eyes, he opened his mouth and bit Zhong Qin's tiger's mouth, and said vaguely in his mouth: "Well... it's numb, can't you feel the pain..."

"...I went to the infirmary for sick leave when I fell asleep." Zhong Qin was annoyed, "Let's talk, I'm drooling."

Xi Yan didn't let go of his mouth, and the tip of his tongue, which was hot and humid, had no fear of touching Zhong Qin's tiger's mouth.

Zhong Qin didn't want to be licked by a dog early in the morning, so he simply pulled out his hand, anyway, it wouldn't hurt if his face hit the pillow.

After Zhong Qin's clothes were changed and the quilt was folded, Xi Yan still huddled under the quilt and pretended that he was here for a trip.

Zhong Qin had no choice but to lift him up: "Stay in bed and come to military training, you really deserve it."

Xi Yan sat up and put on his pants as if he was sleepwalking.

He was dazed for a while, then slowly and carefully climbed over the railing between the two beds, and moved himself onto Zhong Qin's bed.

Xi Yan curled up into a lump, his willpower was completely defeated in the face of laziness, he completely forgot about his one-sided cold war yesterday, and fell headlong on Zhong Qin's pillow: "Zhong Qin...Ah Qin...help me make a quilt, I will squint again 2 minutes……"

The blue veins on the back of Zhong Qin's hands were about to start to twitch, and he lost his temper when he was called "Ah Qin" softly.

Li Wenrui and Wu Yuan were sitting cross-legged on the opposite bed, watching the play in the front row, and finally concluded with two clicks of tut:

"A spoiled boy is the best luck."

"it is true."

"But if I treat Brother Gou like this..."

"He'll send you off on the spot."

When Zhong Qin finished folding the quilt for Xi Yan, Instructor Bai just entered the room to check the bedroom and internal affairs: "It has been 10 minutes since the ringing ended, what are you still doing in bed? There are no rules! Get out of bed! In your own bed Stand aside!"

Xi Yan was startled, most of them woke up from dozing off, and quickly got up and climbed the ladder to get out of bed. Of course, he went down from Zhong Qin's side.

Zhong Qin watched him fall to the ground from the upper bunk, watched him trot back to his side of the bed, and then Zhong Qin stepped back to his own bed, followed by quickly going down to stand up.

"Everyone is there, stand at attention! Take a break." Instructor Bai gave orders.

Regardless of whether the housework has been tidied up or not, or whether their clothes are properly dressed, the young students all dare to take a rest and stand upright to meet the inspection.

After experiencing the feat of kicking the basin by the devil instructor yesterday, the little students put their basins neatly, so there was no jingling in the room today.

But the quilt is different.

Folding tofu cubes is a technical job. Some people used the time before going to bed to study and practice last night, and their level has improved by leaps and bounds today.

But there are still some people who can't escape the clutches of Instructor Bai.

——After overturning the quilts of several people in succession, Instructor Bai's black military boots stopped in front of Zhong Qin.

Then Instructor Bai stepped on the bed ladder with one foot, grasped it with one hand, and yanked Zhong Qin's quilt away with the other hand.

There were bursts of low cries in the room... Instructor Bai lifted the pacesetter's quilt!

Xi Yan looked back, frowned and yelled "Oops" - when he moved onto Zhong Qin's bed, he might have accidentally touched the quilt he had folded!

Sure enough, Instructor Bai looked unhappy, and said to Zhong Qin: "I just praised you a few words yesterday, and today I got carried away with complacency, didn't I?"

Zhong Qin stood straight without making a rebuttal.

Instructor Bai didn't stay long, and continued to check everyone's internal affairs vigorously, and Xi Yan also passed.

Instructor Bai returned to the door of the room, and before going to check the next room, he said: "Everyone hurry up to wash up, go downstairs after finishing, complete the assembly before 06:30, run exercises first, and then eat. Those who were unqualified in the inspection just now , go downstairs and bring your quilts!"

"—Pacesetter, you gather in the company first today."

"Disband!"

As soon as Instructor Bai left, a pot exploded in the room.

"What does it mean to go down to gather with the quilt?!"

"No way, do you want us to make quilts on the playground... Public execution..."

"Zhong Qin! What's the matter with you today?"

"Yeah... Are you okay? You were asked to gather in the company... Then what about your instructors..."

Zhong Qin's expression didn't change much, and he was even a little kind in the face of the concern of the young students: "It's okay. I'll ask the instructor for leave first."

"It's fine..."

"Hey... it's scary... let's go, let's go!"

Li Wenrui and Wu Yuan were direct witnesses to the quilt incident. They said:

"Oh, I'm so sad...Where did Instructor Bai make such a fuss?"

"Xi Baba! Xi Baba? What are you doing in a daze?"

I saw that the "culprit" Xi Yan was uncharacteristically, not only did not immediately go to Zhong Qin's side to ask questions, but instead froze in place, as if his soul was out of his body, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After being called out by Li Wenrui, Xi Yancai managed to regain his senses.

——The first thing after regaining consciousness was to rush towards the door of the room regardless of anyone.

Zhong Qin frowned, strode after him, and grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

Xi Yan looked very anxious: "I... I will go to the instructor, and I will explain to him that it is my bed, my quilt..."

Xi Yan's appearance of "making a fuss out of a molehill" suddenly made Zhong Qin feel a little strange.

So Zhong Qin put all his strength into his hands and pulled him very tightly: "It's not necessary, as the instructor said, let's talk after we get down."

Xi Yan also frowned immediately, and his tone became more urgent: "What he said... Do you know what he is going to do?! If you are punished, you will lose or not, let it go!"

Zhong Qin didn't let go: "It doesn't matter what you want to do, I'm going downstairs."

Xi Yan clicked his tongue and wanted to be anxious with him. Li Wenrui and the others saw that the atmosphere between Xi Yan and Zhong Qin was not right, so they hurried over to smooth things over:

"Yes, yes, listen to Brother Gou, let's go down first and then talk!"

"Let's go! The two rooms at the back will be checked soon, and we will be assembled in a few minutes!"

"Xi Baba, aren't you looking forward to Brother Gou to gather in our company all day long? Your dream is about to come true, why are you not active at all! Let's go!"

Xi Yan was dragged by a group of people, he had no choice but to go downstairs first, Zhong Qin picked up the quilt, Xi Yan wanted to help him, but he didn't let him, just walked beside Xi Yan and went down together.

On the stairs, Xi Yan didn't say a word, with a calm face, as if he was going to die heroically.

——Instructor Bai's words "bring the quilt downstairs" seemed to be a key, which opened Xi Yan's memory box with a click.

For the 25-year-old Xi Yan, those distant memories of military training that were gradually forgotten by him and left with only vague impressions suddenly flooded into his mind.

He knew what Instructor Bai meant by asking them to go down with the quilts.

It is to be punished.

Xi Yanming had experienced it once, and it was the sense of steadfastness brought by Zhong Qin's side that made him so proud that he forgot about it.

The person who was implicated by him for the first time was Liu Zhao... This time it turned out to be Zhong Qin.

When Xi Yan participated in the military training back then, the process arrangement was similar to now, except that there was no Zhong Qin, other people and things hardly changed.

Early in the morning on the second day of the military training, it was the first time that Instructor Bai seriously and strictly inspected the internal affairs.

At that time, Xi Yan, his five heroes, Li Wenrui, and two other classmates shared eight beds next to each other.

The other two students arrived early and asked for two lower berths first.

When Xi Yan and the others were allocating upper and lower bunks, Liu Zhao discussed with him, saying that he was stronger, and asked him if he could sleep on the upper bunk. Xi Yan agreed without saying anything else.

Instructor Bai didn't start from Xi Yan's room that morning, but checked backwards, and went downstairs to assemble after the inspection.

Xi Yan was afraid of heights, so he didn't sleep well at night. He woke up early and got out of bed after tidying up his housework. He stood by the bed and waited for the inspection. But after waiting for a long time, instructor Bai didn't come, so Liu Zhao sent him a lower bunk experience. Card, the two sat on the lower bunk and chatted while waiting.

At that time, Xi Yan was standing beside the bed ladder. In order to save two steps, he sat closer to the end of the bed.

He was chatting with Liu Zhao, and there might have been a little flirting. He also accidentally touched the quilt that Liu Zhao had folded at the end of the bed a few times.

Instructor Bai came out of the army, and he played it very clearly by killing chickens and monkeys with one hand. The inspection was much stricter than when the sample was proofed at noon on the first day.

As expected, Liu Zhao's quilt was overturned to the ground, and Xi Yan felt panicked.

Getting others punished because of one's own mistakes is hundreds or thousands of times more uncomfortable than being punished for one's own mistakes.

Liu Zhao didn't care about this, and comforted him: "Don't take it to heart, you didn't do it on purpose. If you really want to talk about it, I was the one who made trouble with you just now. Let's take it easy, and go down to see the white What is the instructor going to say?"

As a result, they went downstairs to gather. Instructor Bai asked all the students who failed the inspection to come down with their quilts in their arms and stand alone in a row.

It's not as simple as making a quilt on the spot in front of everyone, but punishing them to do [-] squats with the quilt on their shoulders, and then join them in the morning run—running with the quilt on their shoulders.

Xi Yan immediately became angry.

Let's not elevate the matter to the level of discussing the advisability of corporal punishment of students. After all, the military training at that time was not so civilized, and many things followed the habits of the army.

But Xi Yan felt that at least he had to explain the matter clearly, and he had to take responsibility for his problem, and he couldn't let others take the blame for him, so Xi Yan made a report in a loud voice.

Instructor Bai: "Speak."

Xi Yan said: "Instructor, Liu Zhao's quilt was messed up by me. Please apply for him to return to the team and give me the quilt. I will be punished."

As a strong man, Liu Zhao almost shed tears for Xi Yan, a middle school boy.

But instructor Bai was silent for a moment after listening to Xi Yan's rebuttal, and asked, "Let me ask you, who owns that bed?"

Xi Yan said, "Liu Zhao's."

"Whose quilt belongs to?"

Xi Yan said: "His."

"Is it up to inspection standards?"

Xi Yan said: "...it doesn't match."

Instructor Bai crossed his arms and replied: "Then I punish him, is there any problem?"

The string of Xi Yan's rationality was broken in an instant.

At that time, Xi Yan was so focused on the fact that his good brother took the blame for him that he didn't have time to think about the simple logic in what Instructor Bai said.

He only felt that he had typed his report, and his speech was polite and reasonable. The instructor had to think about it if he didn't say yes on the spot, at least say something soft like "be careful next time" before punishing him.

Anyway, you shouldn't be so arrogant.

Why are you so arrogant when you are just an instructor.

So that student from the second grade back then, based on the principle of "I won't be polite to you if you don't show face", replied very stiffly: "You don't have to be so unreasonable, do you?"

The little students around were silent, thinking that Xi Yan would at least be beaten.

But Instructor Bai was not in a hurry, and Mingming was young, but his attitude was sophisticated: "You will understand the reason for this in the future."

Later, during the exercise, Xi Yan was so angry that he went out without authorization and joined Liu Zhao and his team to receive the punishment. Twenty squats did not fall, and when they went to run laps, they also took turns carrying the quilt with Liu Zhao, one by one. in a circle.

At that time, both Liu Zhao and the students who witnessed the whole incident felt that Xi Yan was tough and loyal.

The definition of "handsome" is always a bit strange and biased when people are young.

It seems that it is handsome to be in the limelight, and it is also handsome to do things that others dare not do.

In short, if a topic list can be drawn, the discussion of "Xi Yan confronting the instructor" will inevitably reach the top of the discussion.

This incident was embellished later, and it was widely circulated in the grades. The image of Xi Yan's junior classmate as "no-temper and easy to get along with" has gone astray since then.

Looking back now, Xi Yan has no other thoughts, but simply feels that he is stupid and impulsive.

But if he does it again, he will still do that, but he should do it more timely and tactfully, such as trying to see if there is room for maneuver before queuing up and before things happen, and explain it to Instructor Bai one time.

In the past, the punishment of Liu Zhao was caused by two people playing around, and Zhong Qin was purely helping him to take the blame.

Xi Yan felt annoyed and felt that he didn't have a long memory, but no matter what, he couldn't let Zhong Qin be punished for him.

As for what Instructor Bai said...

Xi Yan used to think that Instructor Bai was rigid, unaccommodating and unreasonable, but now looking at the same thing from a different perspective, he found that what Instructor Bai said was actually a very realistic truth.

There are too many things in the world that only verify the results, and no one cares about how you got here except yourself.

Xi Yan didn't understand when he was a teenager, but now that he has been in the society for a while, he still doesn't understand?

The "hero boy" who stands out in the early days is doomed to no good fruit when he confronts established rules and disciplines. The mature and sensible Xi Yan explained a philosophy to himself. That is, he went to apply for a co-punishment.

Until the assembly, Instructor Bai said: "Those who fail the inspection, get out of the queue, carry the quilt and leap around, and start!"

Xi Yan, who had just completed his mental training, was in a hurry and was on the verge of the explosion. He just wanted to smash the four characters "unreasonable" on the head and face of this little brother, Instructor Bai.

Shit is mature and sensible!

He is about to become this heroic boy who stands out and "saves the beauty"!
