What time takes away, and never comes back, only missing.

The heat of summer is gradually leaving, and there is no longer the sticky feeling of sweating, Xiaoli stood in front of the mirror, with refreshing shawl hair, carefully and carefully brought the watch that Cheng Zimu gave her before, the back schoolbag was replaced by a cross-body white schoolbag, simple, neat, she boarded the white sneakers, walked out of the yard, Cheng Zimu's bicycle stood quietly under the tree, the car bell outside the door rang, Qu Qing, Xing Mo and Fang Yi's voices sounded, she smiled slightly, everyone made an appointment to report together today.

Pushing the car out of the gate, several people looked at each other and smiled, on the smooth path, the young figure gradually moved away, Xiaoli looked back behind him, as if in the sun, he saw Cheng Zimu waving to her.

Although Tianlan High School is in Qingmei Town, it is still far away from home compared to junior high school, Xiaoli got a meal card in the cafeteria at noon, and then went home in the evening, walked into the school carport, locked the car, and a few people went to the front of the teaching building to see the class situation, Qu Qing was the first to call out, and the four of them were coincidentally assigned to a class, Fang Yi's eyes were stunned, and he thought that Cheng Zimu had gone to him when he left before, even if he was not there, he didn't want Xiaoli to feel lonely, he would find a way. Now Fang Yi finally understood what Cheng Zimu meant, this is not a coincidence, this is arranged by Grandpa Cheng, with his ability, such a small thing as class division, it must be his help, watching Xiaoli and the three of them hugging each other and jumping and laughing, Fang Yi also smiled, boss, I promised you, I will do it, I will protect Xiaoli for you, and wait to see you and the university.

In the first and second classes of high school, Xiaoli walked into the classroom, except for a few junior high school alumni who were in the same school before, there were too many unfamiliar and unfamiliar faces, found a seat and sat down, looking at a completely different classroom, spacious, bright, there were more classmates, the desk was a little higher, Xiaoli was still fresh and curious.

Each teacher's self-introduction, she listened carefully, touched the brand-new books in her hands, she cherished it very much, couldn't wait to write her name, and secretly made up her mind to study hard and protect the books.

Xing Mo sat behind the two, looking at Xiaoli's serious appearance, but her heart was different, Xiaoli's personality was so optimistic, but she was still not used to Cheng Zimu's departure, although the two did not intersect too much, but they were always empty, didn't Xiaoli really feel unaccustomed to it at all, or, in her heart, she was silently sad?

After handing out the textbooks, the teacher announced that he could familiarize himself with the campus today, and then officially start classes tomorrow, some students from the neighboring towns of Tianlan High School chose to live on campus, so the cafeteria was open at noon on the first day, and Xiaoli pulled a few people to the cafeteria, ready to taste it first.

"Wow! What a big and magnificent canteen, two floors!" Qu Qing stood at the door and exclaimed.

"Well, there are a lot of windows, and there are so many types. Xing Mo looked around and spoke.

"So what are you waiting for, come in and see what's delicious, our wonderful high school life starts with this first lunch!" Xiao Li took the hands of the two and ran in, and Fang Yi slowly followed behind him, with a helpless face.

These three people, still the same as before, don't seem to have changed at all, are they good or bad?

"I want this, this, hey, Xiaoli, Momo, the three of us buy different ones and eat them instead. Qu Qing's fingers fluttered excitedly.

Squeezed out of the crowd, the three of them found a window seat and sat down, put the lunch box in the middle, picked up the chopsticks and happily sent them to their mouths, only to take a bite, Xiao Li frowned, "This side is so hard!"

Xing Mo also coughed, "This eggplant is so salty." ”

Qu Qing shook her head and looked at them with disgust while eating, "What do you know, my sister told me before school started, this school cafeteria makes a big pot of rice, a super large pot, fried dishes for hundreds of people, the taste is naturally not very delicious, but this is also a feature of high school life and an unforgettable point of complaining, if you want to eat delicious, you can, I heard that the upstairs are all small stoves, but the price is expensive." ”

Xiaoli and Xing Mo looked at Qu Qing, who was happy to eat, shook their heads helplessly with each other, picked up the chopsticks again, and buried their heads in eating, the more they ate, the more they felt that it was not as unpalatable as before.

After dinner, Fang Yi was dragged by his former classmates to play basketball, and Xiao Li and the three of them walked around the campus arm in arm, chattering along the way, attracting many classmates.

Sky Blue High School is not particularly luxurious, but it has its own ancient charm, there are few club activities for high school students, only a few sports clubs, Xiaoli excitedly pulled Qu Qing and Xing Mo to sign up for the basketball club, Qu Qing looked sad, Xing Mo looked nervous, followed behind Xiaoli, in fact, in terms of the height of the three people, Xiaoli and Xing Mo are not bad, after a summer vacation, they have grown a lot taller, one meter six five, only Qu Qing, after a summer vacation, the height is still one meter six, this face is a lot rounder.

There are only four people in the basketball club, one captain is a second-year, and the others are also freshmen, all of them are one meter and seven tall, Xing Mo really didn't dare to contact it, and was left by Xiaoli as a logistics manager.

Qu Qing is not tall enough, and she is a little fat, she was arranged by the captain to be a cheerleader, signed the application, and the three of them left hand in hand, which can be regarded as making new friends, happily going back to the classroom to get the schoolbag, and preparing to go home.

Pushing open the door of her room, throwing her schoolbag on the bed, Xiaoli changed into light clothes, took out her mobile phone from the drawer, and hurriedly turned it on, the school rules do not allow mobile phones, so she waited all day.

While looking at the mobile phone, he pushed open the door of the house, the black tiger shouted happily, Xiaoli didn't have time to take care of it, and walked all the way into the living room, his fingers kept flipping, and Cheng Zimu sent a lot of photos and text messages.

Grandpa Cheng sat in the living room reading the newspaper, Xiaoli said hello, took the apple handed over by Grandma Cheng, went up to the second floor while walking, walked into Cheng Zimu's bedroom, sat down, looked at the photos on the phone, and his eyes were crooked.

Since Cheng Zimu left, Xiao Li has come to Cheng family every night, accompanied Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng for dinner, Zhang Tiancheng will come over early after work, but rarely, Xiao Li said hello every time, and took the fruit in Cheng Zimu's bedroom, until Aunt Guo came to call her for dinner, she went downstairs, and Cheng Grandpa Cheng and Grandma smiled and had dinner, making the two old people laugh haha.

Cheng Zimu sent a photo of the new school, including the teaching building, the cafeteria, the dormitory, the playground, and a photo of himself standing at the door of the classroom, with short black hair above his head, a class sign hanging on the door frame, the first and second classes of high school.

At the bottom of the photo, a row of small letters is clearly visible: "Hello, classmates from different schools. Xiaoli looked at his smiling face in the photo, still so sunny, so fair, like that, ,,,。。

Xiaoli took the apple and put it to his mouth, took a photo and sent it to him, with the text "Look, I'm eating your apples in your bedroom again, Cheng Zimu, everything about you has been occupied by me, aren't you angry!" Then attach a smug expression.

After waiting for a few minutes, Cheng Zimu didn't reply, Xiaoli pouted, turned around and put down the phone, and went out of the door, her cheerful voice sounded outside the door, "What is grandma eating tonight, I'm so hungry!"

The mobile phone on the sofa suddenly lit up, Cheng Zimu's name flashed, and a text message appeared on the screen.

"Xiaoli, you look so ugly eating apples. Also, I'm not angry at all, because my stuff is yours. ”

Xiaoli smiled sweetly, okay, it's great to go to a big city, and I've learned to talk sweetly.

After eating, Xiao Li left and went to the backyard of the family mansion, the swing under the grape trellis swayed gently, as if Cheng Zimu had a smiling face rippling behind it.

Early in the morning, Xiao Li was dressed quite neatly with high morale, riding a car to the school, for others, maybe today is the beginning of a nightmare, but for Xiao Li, today is the beginning of excitement, because, to military training! She loves sports, and Cheng Zimu's relationship can be said to have been played since childhood, in the long summer vacation, she was not interested in everything that Cheng Zimu left to do, and now, starting a new high school life, this military training can be said to be a good way to be sober.

Qu Qing hugged Xiao Li with a sad face, Xing Mo was full of nervousness, Xiao Li pulled the two to stand in the front row of the team, high school students are in the school military training, and the instructors are drawn by the army to come to the school, Xiao Li has a trace of excitement in her heart, perhaps under the influence of her father, she has been particularly fond of military uniforms since she was a child, and when the team of each class in the school playground is standing, Xiao Li saw a neat team walking towards them, neat military uniforms, firm and powerful steps, and standing tall and confident, infinite respect rose in her heart, and then looked to the side, every classmate was infected by the momentum of the soldiers, standing straight one by one, she looked up and looked ahead, Cheng Zimu, are you the same as me, also in this sunshine, feel the small shock in your heart at this moment?

But at this time, Cheng Zimu didn't have time to sigh, he followed a group of real soldiers, training the playground, and this playground was not the playground of the school, but the playground of the army, wearing camouflage uniforms, mud and sweat blended, thin body, real fist-to-flesh fighting, heavy breathing, and he did not have a trace of extra space.

On the high platform, after the principal made a tirade, each instructor came to the assigned class, and took everyone to stand in different places, each class has two instructors, an older one, a young soldier, the content of military training, basically standing in a military posture, walking, team practice, stop the transfer method, stand up for a while, and then there will be activities such as singing and other activities with an active atmosphere, etc., these are a piece of cake for Xiaoli, she even practiced military boxing, she used to be naughty and mischievous, Cheng Zimu and she were often punished to stand in a military posture, one or two hours are common, and it is standing on a stake, so she is relaxed, moved her body, and waited for the formation to be completed, the first stand straight, standard, motionless.

The two instructors introduced themselves, the older one was Instructor Li, and the younger one was Instructor Wang, and after talking about some basic steps and methods, the curtain was opened as the whistles sounded everywhere, and the exciting and tense military training began.

Persistence and tenacity, she is the most lacking, somehow, thinking that Cheng Zimu may be the same as herself, her confidence is even firmer, and at this moment, Cheng Zimu is running around the playground, in different places, the same sky, the same sun, two thin backs, one gritted his teeth and ran, and the other figure is straight, as if in his heart, he has the same belief and perseverance.

The instructor patrolling back and forth passed by Xiao Li, his eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction and surprise, he didn't speak, the two looked at each other and nodded, Instructor Li stood in front of Xiao Li, and whispered in her ear to let her stand at the front of the team, Xiao Li's eyes moved, nodded, Qu Qing winked at her happily, Xiao Li came to the team, faced his classmates, stood upright, took a break, and stood neatly in a standard military posture.

The military posture lasted for an hour, but at this moment, the time team students were tormented, hot, and there were flies and small flying insects flying by, unable to move, unable to scratch, not really tired, but that kind of restraint and pressure, several female classmates couldn't stand it, tears were rolling, and they were embarrassed to speak, and finally ushered in the whistle, and everyone spread on the ground and kept fanning back and forth.

Several female classmates immediately gathered in front of Xiao Li, looked at Xiao Li with admiration, and asked her how she stood so well, her physical fitness was so good, Xiao Li also had a trace of fluttering in her heart, and she was proud in her heart, but she pretended to be embarrassed and said nothing, Qu Qing leaned on Xing Mo with a sad face, and looked at Xiao Li in the crowd.

The morning time ended quickly, the noon break was not short, two and a half hours, the meal and rest were enough, Xiaoli and the three of them had no appetite, so they simply ate a little, Qu Qing mysteriously took out a small white bottle from the schoolbag, Xiaoli grabbed it and took a look, it turned out to be sunscreen, she looked at Qu Qing with a proud face, and asked in surprise, "Xiaoqing, where did you come from, will we use this thing too early." ”

"Oh, no, I took out part of the money from the meal and bought it myself, I consulted, it is suitable for our age, five days of military training, this summer has not completely passed, if you get a tan, sunburn, how to do it, you don't know, many girls in our class use this brand, I bought two bottles, let's use the three, this month, my lunch, please leave it to you." Qu Qing unscrewed the lid with a smile and said while applying.

Xiao Li and Xing Mo looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and let Qu Qing rub their faces indiscriminately.

Xiaoli didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, wandering around the campus alone, but saw under the tree, several instructors sitting together, drinking drinks, chatting, and the students on the campus passed by, but they didn't dare to step forward, but Xiaoli didn't hesitate at all, and came to a few people.

"Hello instructor!".

Several people looked up at Xiao Li, including the two instructors of Xiao Li's class, and the young Instructor Wang immediately stood up and said with a smile, "I know you, classmate Zhang Xiaoli." ”

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, he said, I know myself, is it because of my father? No, my father has been away from the army for many years, won't he?

Looking at Xiaoli's puzzled expression, Instructor Wang smiled, "Come and sit." ”

Xiao Li sat on the side blankly, and several other instructors also looked at Instructor Wang suspiciously, but saw him take out his mobile phone, flipped out a photo, handed it to Xiao Li, and said with a smile.

"My name is Wang Jiangtao, three years older than you, and I have only been in the army for half a year, in fact, I am a rookie, but I know a person who has a good relationship with you. ”

Xiao Li looked at the photos on the screen, his eyes were bright, next to Wang Jiangtao, there was Cheng Zimu, who was also wearing camouflage uniforms, the two were smiling very brightly, Xiao Li raised his head and continued to look at him.

The other instructors came over to look at the photo, but they didn't seem to have any impression, they got up one after another, the two sat under the tree, and Wang Jiangtao slowly spoke. In fact, I was admitted to the military academy after the college entrance examination, I was not admitted, I have some relationships in my family, and it is a rural household registration, I like to be a soldier since I was a child, my father asked someone to get me into the army, has been in the recruit company, and then not long after, a young man came to my dormitory, that is, Zimu, his identity I don't say you know, he stayed in the recruit company for two months, we trained together, ate together, and the relationship quickly got along well, but, he only stayed for two months and left, according to him, the family let him take the military school after high school, he was unwilling, and the family was very stiff, and then I don't know why, the army made an exception for him, let him go to the army for training during winter and summer vacations and SundaysHe is not in the school for military training, but to the army for a week of training, it seems that now he is a supernumerary student, anyway, with his background, he will definitely take this road in the future, his own conditions are very good, good skills, smart brains, the leaders of the army like him very much, he mentioned you to me, and I have seen your photos, as soon as I came today, I noticed you, and it is really fate. Wang Jiangtao finished the process in one breath, and after Xiaoli listened, he felt a little surprised in his heart.

Cheng Zimu, in the army, it's very hard, he's still so young, can he stand it, if he really goes on like this, will there be a day when they can't go to the same straight line at all, and the same university that they said they agreed to really abide by the agreement, can they really look forward to it like this? He doesn't agree to go to military school, will there be his own reasons?

Xiaoli didn't pay attention to when Wang Jiangtao left, she sat alone under the tree, her mind was full of Cheng Zimu's departing back, and the words to her echoed in her ears for a long time, and could not be dissipated.
