immature

The next morning, during the rehearsal of the military parade, the young green students stood on the open playground, and they suddenly felt a sense of excitement. This is probably the charm of the bloody military life.

Except that the speeches of leaders from all walks of life are "reserved programs", all the procedures have to be gone through, including the raising of the flag by the pacesetters.

During the break, Li Wenrui ran to the front of the team, sat next to Xi Yan, covered his eyes and yelled, "I don't want to watch, I don't want to look at it! There will be no surprises in the afternoon after watching it now! I want to see Brother Gou's stunning performance without any precautions." The appearance of the field!"

Xi Yan let out a "tss", as if he was laughing at Li Wenrui's appearance as a fanboy, but in fact he was more excited than anyone else.

He didn't feel that he would not be surprised after watching it once, but he felt that it was a pity that he could only watch it twice and never have another chance in the future.

The head teacher of Class [-] of Sixth Company came over from the girl's side, holding a "consolation gift", mineral water bought from the canteen.

While waiting for the water to drink, Li Wenrui said, "I'm so tired from carrying them, they should push a cart here, do you need melon seeds, peanut mineral water... do you need..."

Xi Yan gave a thumbs up: "I wrongly blamed you before, you are really talented, go talk about cross talk."

During the conversation, the head teachers of classes [-] and [-], Jiang Shui, and Gao Chengliu had already walked in front of them.

Panting, Jiang Shui put the mineral water in front of Xi Yan: "...Go, go, the leader will distribute water to everyone."

When Xi Yan sent out water to everyone, Gao Chengliu on that head had already started to speak on behalf of the class teacher: "It is fate that our four classes get together, remember! Gathering is a fire! Today our company is the last one to leave The military parade, the grand finale! This fire of ours is sure to impress everyone!"

I don't know which classmate from Class [-] joked: "Old Gao, don't forget that you lost a star in the pacesetter team!"

I don't know who else answered, "Yes! Zhong Qin! Class [-]—the brightest star hahahahaha."

Gao Chengliu stretched out his fingers and nodded at the students who were laughing together: "You little bastards, say this in front of him..."

Xi Yan followed with a smile, and suddenly felt honored.

——He hasn't experienced this sense of collective honor for a long time.

In the workplace, a person's personal ability is too outstanding. Even if everyone works in the same department, the boss will say "we are a team" every day, and it will not make people feel "proud".

Only in the campus of youth and middle school.

Everyone competes and helps each other, and most of them have no conflict of interest.

Only students from Class [-] and even Sixth Company could pat themselves on the chest, raise their heads and say to others: "Did you see that! The flag raiser! That's our Zhong Qin!"

When the noon break was about to end, Zhong Qin and the others had to go down early to gather.

Xi Yan hugged the quilt and sat on the bed watching Zhong Qin go down, his heart beat suddenly became faster.

He was nervous.

It's more nervous than being afraid of turning your head and saluting ugly.

Before Zhong Qin left, his footsteps paused, he turned his head and raised his eyes, looked at Xi Yan who was on the upper bunk, and said, "Didn't you...didn't you say you wanted to see the flag raising during the National Day?"

"Hmm," Xi Yan couldn't bear to blink for a while, only his eyelashes trembled slightly, "I will take a good look at you!"

After Zhong Qin had left, Xi Yan slowly raised his hand to cover his heart.

Such a cheerful and lively heartbeat came from the palm of his hand, which made his "nervousness" seem unskilled.

When they went downstairs to gather, Li Wenrui tugged at Xi Yan tremblingly and said, "Xi Xi Baba...I am a little nervous..."

Xi Yan: "..."

He wanted to say me me me me too.

"Do you think Brother Gougou is more nervous than us..."

Xi Yan rubbed his hands that were cold because of nervousness: "...he won't, he has more dogs than us."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the battalion commander stood on the high rostrum with a microphone:

"All silence—"

"Slow down! Attention!—to the right—look!—"

"Welcome to the flag!—"

The flagpole was on the right side facing the rostrum, and the battalion commander gave an order, and all the people standing facing the rostrum turned their heads to their right side.

The melody of "Singing the Motherland" sounded, and the three members of the flag raising group walked at the forefront of the team with their heads held high, their feet stepping on the passionate movement, and their bodies as straight as bamboo.

Xi Yan raised the brim of his hat on purpose before, he wanted to see this moment clearly and more clearly.

——Zhong Qin walked in the middle, with the brightly colored national flag on his right shoulder.

The drum in Xi Yan's heart hit a heavy beat immediately.

Who said there are no surprises?

... This man is actually wearing an army uniform!

So formal, so solemn.

So tall and straight, so heroic!

"Raising the national flag - playing the national anthem - saluting the national flag -"

Everyone's eyes were focused on them, but Xi Yan's attention was only on Zhong Qin.

See him raising the national flag high into the air.

I saw him raise his five fingers together to the brim of his hat in a beautiful military salute.

Xi Yan's gaze suddenly pierced back to the campus gate five days ago.

When he saw Zhong Qin in camouflage training uniform for the first time, he still felt that this person's belt was not tied properly, his hat was not properly worn, and he looked like a military ruffian.

After a few days of practice, it was like a different person.

—No, perhaps it should not be said that they are different.

Because he is the one who is casual, the one who is serious, the one who comes to peace, the one who fights and fights, the one who is young and mature, and the one who is frivolous.

It is an encounter like a wedding banquet in this life, and it is an incomparably precious surprise.

It is the brightest star that illuminates Xi Yan's eyes.

The parade began.

The girls left first, and the slogans rang out almost everywhere. It seemed like a woman who would not give way to a man, but it made the boys' fighting spirit even more high-spirited.

After the flag was raised, the pacesetters lined up quickly and lined up at the tail of the sixth company. They not only had to participate in the military parade, but also had a complete queue performance.

Xi Yan took a deep breath.

As one of the two pacesetters of the Sixth Company, Xi Yan couldn't look back when he was in line - but he knew that Zhong Qin was right behind him, looking at him.

Therefore, when passing the rostrum, he also shouted the loudest voice and saluted the most beautiful military salute.

When Liu Lian had run back to the designated position, Xi Yan's heart was still pounding, and it was even getting worse.

Everyone lined up neatly, and the pacesetter's queue performance is about to begin.

"Charity loves courtesy and wisdom! Talent and elegance! Learning is as good as mountains! Debate is as good as rivers!"

——The school motto of the Fifth Middle School resounded through the sky, and the lingering sound was endless.

For a moment, Xi Yan's eyes became hot.

These were times he once thought he would never get back.

After the instructor finished performing a set of military boxing, the battalion commander and the principal finished their speeches respectively, and the five-day military training was about to come to an end.

It was the first time for Xi Yan to listen to it carefully, and he still remembered the words of the principal: "May my dear students, set foot on today's land, bask in today's sunshine, remember today's sweat, and use every piece of money you pick up today Jigsaw puzzles, to piece together a dreamy world of tomorrow!"

On the car back to school.

Xi Puppy, whose legs were sore and whose voice was hoarse, was completely wilted.

tired.

Li Wenrui was also tired, but he still pulled Yang Ziyang and said: "Don't say it, I was so unfeeling and unwilling before I came, but now I have to leave, and I feel lost in my heart!"

Yang Ziyang nodded: "Isn't it! I was thinking about spraining my foot to test whether I have the potential to be an actor. Hey, but then I felt that I was here, but I didn't find the opportunity!"

Li Wenrui was overjoyed, and leaned on the back of Xi Yan's chair again and said, "Xi Baba, Brother Gou, you two are really not in vain this trip, good guy, the light of the Sixth Company, the short 'military career' is absolutely worthless." No regrets!"

Xi Yan pouted: "...Who said I have no regrets."

Li Wenrui and Yang Ziyang became curious now:

"What?"

"What regrets do you have?"

Unexpectedly, Xi Yan, who has always been frank and carefree, not only did not confess, but even covered it up: "...I won't tell you two."

Lu Yaoyao booed from the side: "Hey, the live version of the boy's mind!"

After speaking, he exchanged a glance with Chen Xing and laughed.

Li Wenrui spread his hands, looking as if he had seen through everything: "I know if you don't tell me, anyway, it has something to do with Brother Gou! —— Didn't train with Brother Gou! Am I guessing right?"

Xi Yan threw the dog biscuit in the schoolbag to the back row: "You big-headed bastard, shut up and eat your dog biscuit!"

When the surroundings became quiet again, sleeping and resting, Zhong Qin adjusted the back of the chair slightly, found a comfortable position, turned his head and said to Xi Yan, who had his eyes closed tightly, "What is it?"

As expected, Xi Yan didn't sleep, pretended to be confused, and replied hoarsely: "Well, what is what."

Zhong Qin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

Xi Yan is a person who has always kept his mouth shut. He is frank and straightforward. When getting along with Zhong Qin, the boundaries of the private realm are always somewhat blurred.

But such a person suddenly became hesitant, as if forcibly retracting his fearless claws under his belly to hide.

Zhong Qin felt strange, and asked more rarely: "What is the regrettable thing?"

"..." Xi Yan raised his eyelids and stared at him, "Can you pick up your eyes that fell to the ground?!"

Zhong Qin did not speak, quietly waiting for his next words.

Xi Yan looked away, buttoned the brim of his hat, shrunk down, and said angrily: "I haven't taken a shower with you! I missed this opportunity to meet honestly, I'm so sorry!"

Zhong Qin: "..."

During military training, I always go to the big bathhouse to take a bath. Although there are partitions and curtains, it is barely reasonable to say "take a bath together".

Zhong Qin pinched the brim of the hat that Xi Yan was wearing on his head, and pressed it down hard: "I thought you were only playing hooligans in your territory, but it turned out that you can do it anytime, anywhere?"

Xi Yan was pulled down by him, and he grabbed Zhong Qin's hand with his claws: "Aren't you annoying..."

Xi Yan suddenly paused.

Where is he playing hooligans?He only played hooligans with Zhong Qin's "other partner".

With this gesture of grabbing Zhong Qin's fingers, Xi Yan turned his head, peeped out his eyes from under the hat, and winked at Zhong Qin: "...my territory?"

Zhong Qin was taken aback, and almost instantly understood the meaning behind Xi Yan's words.

Then Zhong Qin quickly returned to his usual face of a scumbag who loves to sneer at Xi Yan: "Aren't those two kennels your own territory?"

When Xi Xiaogou heard the words "enclosed land", he gritted his teeth and hissed, then carelessly left other things behind.

After being quiet for a while, Xi Yan suddenly took out a Ferrero that had been unpacked from his bag—there was only one ball left.

Xi Yan peeled it off and found that the outer shell had melted, and some chocolate had accidentally stuck to the pads of his thumb and index finger, so he casually brought his hand to his mouth and licked it.

As soon as he finished licking his thumb, he met Zhong Qin's disgusted face: "Lick it after washing your hands."

Xi Yan glared at him, raised his arm and was about to paste his index finger, which was still stuck to chocolate, on Zhong Qin's face, but Zhong Qin quickly caught him.

Zhong Qin sighed.

He grabbed Xi Yan's knuckles, and with a light flick of his index finger, he wiped away the black chocolate on Xi Yan's white fingertips.

Zhong Qin let go of him, and wiped the chocolate on the clean part of the wrapping paper: "It's been five days and I haven't finished it, so I don't seem to like it very much."

Xi Yan curled his fingertips, and was suddenly distracted by Zhong Qin's touch: "...Apologize to me, I want to lick it."

Zhong Qin raised his eyebrows, and pressed his chocolate-brushed index finger on Xi Yan's dog's nose: "Lick."

Xi Yan was shocked for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to avoid Zhong Qin's hand, and not to be outdone, he stared back at Zhong Qin, and said in a muffled voice, "...Does it mean I don't like to eat? This is called reluctance."

Zhong Qin didn't speak, just looked at his lowered eyebrows for a while.

Back at school at around five o'clock, the head teacher didn't let everyone line up again, and everyone went back to the classroom directly after getting off the bus.

Zhong Qin habitually followed Xi Yan and Li Wenrui up the independent stairs leading to the back door of Class [-]. It wasn't until Yang Ziyang complained that detours were not friendly to puffy little students, and Zhong Qin realized it.

He seemed to have made an oath before...he would not walk up the stairs here after the sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed.

Zhong Qin's steps back to the classroom paused slightly.

He looked at the luxuriant canopy of the tall osmanthus tree downstairs, and took a deep and comfortable breath.

In late October, the strong fragrance of Jiuli is no longer mixed in the teaching building, and the air is a bit cooler. Only the canopy of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree is still full of greenery, as if it can wear the stars and wear the moon, and can also withstand the warm and bright sunlight.

"Zhong Qin! Wait for me after school!"

Zhong Qin turned his head to look at the back door of Class [-]——

The boy was leaning on the bench, the smile in his eyes was brighter than the sunlight.
