immature

When I first started the military training, it felt very long, but once half of the five days passed, the time became like flying.

Xi Yan enjoyed being a little jumping frog for a while, and his legs that had been hurting for two days were not enough to support him, so he sent himself to the crematorium.When he walks, he looks like he's going to flash his legs from time to time, which really looks like he has a hidden disease.

Xi Yan caught someone while eating, and slyly stretched out a finger under the table to poke Zhong Qin's thigh—he still couldn't believe it, how could he be the only one who hurt? !

Yang Ziyang, who was present, asked Li Wenrui curiously: "Old Li, does Xi Baba like to touch the thighs of his deskmate in class?"

"I'm sorry to tell you that I never did." Li Wenrui pondered, then asked Yang Ziyang, "Do you want to touch Brother Gou's thigh in class?"

Yang Ziyang tried his best to widen his eyes: "Do you see how many catties of the two hundred catties of flesh on my body look like gall?!"

Zhong Qin: "..."

Xi Yan still didn't give up: "Let me touch it again..."

What Xi Yan looks forward to most in military training every day is the battalion commander's whistle.

You can rest after blowing the whistle, you can go to the toilet after you rest, and you can pass by the training site of the pacesetter squad when you go to the toilet.

——If you say that military training is bitter, who has the pain of pacesetters?Every time I stay in the training until the end, I don’t even talk about it, and even the site is only allocated to the toilet door in the corner of the rostrum.

Xi Yan has to go to the toilet ten times for every ten breaks, and only two of them may be "the last one". The pacesetter squad strolled around as if they were patrolling the territory.

And every time he has a fixed route, first go to Silian to pick up Ding Xuan, and then a few people will hook up and go together.

Even Ding Xuan who is so far away has been called, can we not call Zhong Qin?

In this way, it doesn't look like deliberately finding fault——

"Let's go, let's go to the toilet to drink water." This is Xi Yan's eighth round trip during the day, and he came to ask Zhong Qin to go to the toilet.

Zhong Qin looked disgusted: "My dog ​​doesn't even drink toilet water, can you be more hygienic?"

Xi Yan waved his hand indifferently: "—Drink water by the way."

Zhong Qin sat on the ground, bent his legs, resting his elbows casually on his knees, obviously not intending to move his nest: "No."

Xi Yan unhappily kicked his calf with his toe: "Why didn't you go eight times when I asked you out of ten times? You are quite difficult to hire."

Zhong Qin mocked: "Going to the toilet ten times a day, do you have a bad kidney?"

Xi Yan threw down the sentence "Your kidney is the best in the world", and left angrily.

Recently, the recreational activities during break time have become more and more abundant. At first, the instructors performed their talents, and later they let the students go up to sing a song, dance a dance, play a b-box and so on.

Tonight, the battalion commander, who was probably the most leisurely in the audience, was really bored. He had watched enough individual programs and wanted to watch group ones, so he asked everyone to back off collectively to free up the runway in front of the rostrum—let the pacesetter team Let me show you a queue performance.

Xi Yan couldn't sit still on the spot.

But the instructor didn't allow them to stand up and watch, they had to put their butts on the ground, so Xi Yan scratched his heart and scratched his liver anxiously: "I told you earlier that I would buy a telescope!"

Of course, the pacesetter is so handsome, who doesn't love it?Xi Yan is definitely not the only one who is so excited.

——All the students who participated in the training burst into the most enthusiastic cheers when the battalion commander asked, "Is it okay to let the pacesetters do a parade performance for everyone?"

Li Wenrui and the others were probably influenced by Xi Yan, and they were also very excited:

"Where is where? Where is my dog ​​brother? Xi Baba, have you seen it?!"

"This night! This light! This handsome guy! Tsk tsk tsk!"

"I heard that the pacesetter lineup has been finalized!"

"Hey! Do you think Brother Zhong is the flag raiser or the flag guard?"

"Are their pacesetters only responsible for raising the flag? Are they going to go to the military parade? Seeing Brother Zhong and the others train so hard every day, they should go too!"

……

The questions they asked were what Xi Yan wanted to know.

This time, it wasn't that Zhong Qin didn't tell Xi Yan, but the pacesetter team had just been determined after the selection. As for the specific arrangements for the day of the military parade, Zhong Qin still didn't know.

Xi Yan wished he could dig up his already thin memory on the spot, so as to dig out some appearance of the person he hoped for.

But their sixth company is the farthest from the rostrum, not to mention the face of the pacesetter, he can't even see people, so that he is really full of curiosity and anticipation now.

"Pacesetters stand up!—"

"Assembly at the start of the track! Run—go!—"

"The instructor started giving orders!—"

The battalion commander stood in the middle of the rostrum. When he gave the instruction to let the pacesetters stand up, the more than 600 people sitting on the green ground were silent and staring at each other for an instant.

"Hey! It looks like there are springs growing on the butt! The movement is so fast!" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

In the evening, the lights on the playground were a little dim, and Xi Yan stared with bated breath in the silence——

Fifteen pacesetters stood up on the spot at the fastest speed, maintaining a small square formation in threes and fives. After standing up, they consciously lined up, and everyone stood upright.

In Xi Yan's eyes, the young man is dressed in camouflage green, not like a wind-swept but still standing upright pine, but more like a green bamboo that knows no heights and no fear, he is the best and most high-spirited young man.

When the battalion commander uttered the word "running——", all the pacesetters clenched their fists to their waists and moved in unison when they "walked——".

Fifteen people, except for the slight difference in height, are almost like one person.

It was obvious that they were not walking by themselves, but for some reason, every audience member was excited and cheered up in unison.

"Stand still—go!—"

The instructor's slightly hoarse but still loud orders pierced the quiet night sky, and the sound of pacesetters stepping along with Xi Yan's heartbeat stirred.

"Let's go—go!—"

Walking in unison is the best way to test the results of training. If there is a slight flaw in the position of swinging arms and the height of raising legs, there will be a sense of unevenness in the queue, but these fifteen teenagers did not slack in the slightest.

Whether it's training or performance, every step is serious and down-to-earth.

Xi Yan was a little startled.

It must be because there is no moonlight tonight.

His eyesight, comparable to that of a pilot, suddenly failed, and his vision became very limited, and he could only see Zhong Qin clearly.

Xi Yan's heartbeat seemed to resonate with Zhong Qin's footsteps.

In front of Xi Yan was the dim silhouette cast by the street lamps beside the playground, but he seemed to be able to see Zhong Qin's tough and proud eyes.

"One!—Two!—"

"One! Two!"

"Virtue, love, propriety and wisdom, talent and elegance, learning is as good as mountains, debates are as good as rivers!"

"One!—Two!—"

The pacesetters did not think of another slogan. What they shouted loudly was the school motto of a prestigious school that has gone through wind and rain and has not changed for a hundred years.

Li Wenrui sat behind Xi Yan, and excitedly patted Xi Yan's back with his hands: "Xi Baba! Did you see it! Did you see it!! You are so handsome, the pacesetter is so handsome! Brother Gou is so handsome!"

... It's this subtle feeling again.

Xi Yan's throat was astringent, his eyes were a little sour, his heart was full of enthusiasm, and his eyes carried nostalgia and nostalgia that traveled through time and space.

He whispered softly: "I see."

Then Xi Yan lowered the brim of his hat again, hid his eyes in a small piece of shadow, took a breath, and said in his usual joking tone and tone: "Handsome. Go back tonight and let him perform another one alone."

Li Wenrui laughed instantly, and Liu Zhao and the others also turned to join in the fun:

"The moon is the first to be close to the water!"

"Go back and make another one!"

"Where are you coming from! Xi Baba put them on the bed!"

"Hahaha!"

The atmosphere was extremely cheerful, so no one saw the unsettled ripples in Xi Yan's eyes.

The next day was the last day of military training, half of the morning of the last day was used for training, and half was reserved for rehearsal of the military parade in the afternoon.

Tonight, after the pacesetters have performed a small queue, they have to hurry up to train and raise the flag.

Xi Yan remembered that the flag-raising ceremony used to be done by a team of instructors. As a result, the big butterfly surnamed Zhong flapped its wings, and this task fell to the pacesetters.

The pacesetter team is definitely not as good as the national flag guard team, and there are no 36 students in the grade to meet this lineup.But behind the three flag-raising and flag-bearers, there is a team of 12 people, which also looks quite majestic and solemn.

After the twelve team members were disbanded, the three most important characters were left alone for training for a while.

On this day, Zhong Qin took a shower and returned to the dormitory after the lights were turned off... There was no time to perform for Xi Yan alone.

Zhong Qin climbed onto the bed lightly, and sure enough, a pair of big shiny eyes were staring at him without blinking.

"..." Zhong Qin lay on his back, facing the ceiling, and without turning his head, seemed to ask the air, "...Does your leg still hurt?"

"It hurts." The big caterpillar, which was almost integrated with the railing, lay on its side facing Zhong Qin. He answered without thinking, and added a particularly annoying sentence, "It would be better if the neck pinching service was provided for free."

Zhong Qin didn't know how much money pinching his neck would be worth if his legs hurt, he just glanced at Xi Yan: "You still hurt."

Xi Yan didn't speak.

Zhong Qin: "..."

Xi Yan still didn't speak, but stared at Zhong Qin eagerly.

Once Xi Yan's eyes are wide open, they look very round, and the eyeballs are black and bright. With these eyes, he looks like a dog who stays on the edge of the table watching Zhong Qin eat.

Zhong Qin: "..."

Zhong Qin felt that he was restrained by attributes.

He had no choice but to accept his fate and turned sideways to face Xi Yan, and stretched out an arm through the wide gap in the railing.

Xi Yan succeeded, and obediently buried him under the pillow, curled up into a shrimp facing Zhong Qin, and sent the back of his bare neck to Zhong Qin's warm palm.

Zhong Qin bent his fingers almost subconsciously... and gently scratched his soft and smooth skin.

The two were stunned at the same time.

Before Xi Yan questioned the "treatment of puppies", Zhong Qin looked away unobtrusively and said, "...do you want to know the arrangement of the pacesetters tomorrow?"

The skin on Xi Yan's neck was connected with Zhong Qin's body temperature, and his brain was not functioning very well.He was dazed for a moment, wanting to ask about the arrangement, and then distracted in his mind, Zhong Qin finally started to share some trifles with him.

But Zhong Qin asked again: "Or do you want to guess by yourself?"

Xi Yan suddenly felt that Zhong Qin really had the miraculous ability to turn the once contradictory point into a "coaxing point".

Xi Yan's brain that was not functioning gradually recovered, and he said firmly: "You are the flag-raiser?!"

Zhong Qin hummed lightly.

It may be because Xi Yan's eyes could faintly see an uncontrollable smile even in the dark night, and Zhong Qin's eyes softened unconsciously.

Fortunately, Xi Yan has always had a good habit of being civilized, so he doesn't talk loudly when everyone is resting, but he is really happy in his heart, happier than when he himself was selected to be the leader of their sixth company today.

——If possible, he would like to jump on Zhong Qin like he did last time when he finished the relay.

But too bad he couldn't.

So Xi Yan twisted and twisted on the bed, and when he was addicted to dryness, he covered his face in Zhong Qin's palm again, hugged the quilt that was not very delicate but soft and thick enough, and enjoyed himself for a while.

Zhong Qin smiled lightly, flexed his index finger and middle finger, and clamped Xi Yan's nose: "You move around, I won't pinch it anymore."

Xi Xiaogou let out a small nasal sound, and obediently remained still.

While enjoying Zhong Qin's free neck pinching service, Xi Yan exchanged and shared with Zhong Qin back and forth in a slightly proud tone: "...I have been selected as the pacesetter of the company, and when I pass the rostrum, I have to While walking in unison, turn your head and salute, if you don’t walk well, you will be ugly, I practiced all night today.”

Zhong Qin raised his eyebrows and said, "So amazing?"

Xi Yan muttered: "...Isn't it?"

But as expected, Zhong Qin's gentleness towards people was very limited: "Doesn't even the team choose the pacesetters based on their height?"

Xi Yan gritted his teeth: "Hiss, you! You guys are going to leave the tall ones, and only the handsome ones are left in the company."

Zhong Qin scoffed.

So light, yet so ironic.

Xi Yan: "..."

After a long while, Xi Yan showed his posture of more than 300 "prompts" and said: "I'm so handsome...you have to show yourself tomorrow."

Zhong Qin let out a soft breath, and Xi Yan knew he was laughing.

But Xi Yan was very magnanimous and didn't bother with him, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, rubbed his head against Zhong Qin's arm to find the most comfortable position, and went to dream his dream.

Before Xi Yan closed his eyes, Zhong Qin saw an undisguised trust in his eyes.

Zhong Qin feels without proof... that kind of trust seems to be different from other people's trust in him——

Too many people think that he is not "overqualified" only if he does things whose difficulty level matches his ability. Too many people arbitrarily raise their expectations of him and feel that he has not done well because he has not reached that value.

"Don't keep messing with cats and dogs to delay your studies" and "I believe you can do better with your ability" almost accompanied Zhong Qin's growth.

But in fact, he has always felt that "not doing well" is a very normal thing, no matter it is the same for everyone, as for whether he needs to do "better", as long as he is worthy of himself.

Just as Xi Yan "understands", Zhong Qin has never treated himself casually, but people are different, and geniuses are also different. Zhong Qin has his own "serious principles".

This scumbag student never does things just because others think he "should".

None of the results can define Zhong Qin.

Just like "not writing the answer does not mean not learning".

His maturity, self-discipline and intelligence surpass those of his peers, so that he can see the path he wants to go without being squeezed and urged by external forces, so he hopes that he can be a person who looks for good scenery along the way and is always happy to appreciate it .

But Xi Yan's "trust" is different.

Xi Yan would only tease Eleven's meaning is not good, but never really ask him, no request, a little bit of good is a surprise.

Even if he knows that "with his ability" he can do well, he doesn't take it for granted.Xi Yan is always pleasantly surprised, and is always the first to stand beside him and sigh "You deserve it".

Zhong Qin even thought conceitedly in a trance... It seems that in Xi Yan's eyes, his existence itself is like a precious surprise.

Zhong Qin was stunned for a moment when he had this strange thought, and wondered if it was because he had been with Xi Yan for a long time that he had become arrogant.

But there is one thing, Zhong Qin thought...

If Xi Yan sees him in this way, then even if he doesn’t ask the reason or delve into how Xi Yan feels about him, he is still willing to care about Xi Yan’s “disappointment” and is willing to be the Zhong Qin who keeps surprising him.
