The bright sun shines on the spacious runway on the early morning of August, and the entire campus is filled with positive energy. The rousing school song flowed in the gentle breeze, and the notes flew with the birds, shouting to drive away every sleeping cell—military training began

There are a total of 14 classes in the first year of high school participating in military training. At this time, they gathered together, and each class opened forty or fifty mouths to say a word, and there was a lot of commotion. Some people sulk because they didn't eat breakfast, and some people complain because they didn't sleep well. The tired little faces are not half ready to go, but like a group of lazy and weak little flies in the summer.

"That's it! It's quiet, freshmen of high school. ”

The principal, who is over 50 years old, presided over the opening ceremony in Mandarin, speaking his native Mandarin, and his rough voice came from the loudspeaker to the ears of every student, piercing and alert.

The students suddenly calmed down, looking up at the elderly principal on the stage with a solemn expression, for fear that he would be too excited for a while, and suddenly choke on the old phlegm in his throat until the next second......

The opening session ended with a boring end. The sun crept overhead, singing about the summer day. The students who were sitting in a group were taken by the instructors in batches to their respective camps and began training.

The sun faded from the fog of the morning, revealing its scorching true face. The skin is baptized by the sun, and the sweat drops down the curve of the young face slide down the plastic track of the track and field, converging into a little imprint. The students gritted their teeth, and under the strict supervision of the instructor, they endured the itching caused by the sweat sliding over the skin.

"If you have any disability or illness, if you can't persevere, you can report it, provide a certificate at noon, and you don't need to participate in military training."

The instructor shuttled between the various companies to convey the news, and the words fell, but the class was silent. The instructor looked around and was just about to leave, when he heard a light "report" from the corner.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and a weak figure stepped out of the crowd. She covered her mouth, lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes were stained with a little droplets, which made me feel even more pity under the sun.

This is - Chen Menglin?

But she was still smoking skillfully in the dormitory yesterday, why is she sick today?

The people in dormitory 310 looked at her strangely, and countless doubts filled their hearts.

Chen Menglin walked weakly to the side and sat under the shade of the tree under the courteous eyes of the boys, and the instructor asked again, and no one said anything, so he announced that he would continue training.

Countless walks, stands, turns left, turns right...... Everyone was already sweating, and their feet were no longer at their disposal. Finally, the whistle of the chief instructor was heard in the distance. The instructor didn't procrastinate, and let them rest after two adjustments.

Everyone sat around on the hot plastic runway, with the scorching sun on their heads and their feet touching the ground, feeling like a plate of meat in the oven.

"Beauty, what's wrong with you? You okay? ”

"Ahem... It's okay, it's just that I've been drinking Chinese medicine......"

A few of the boys ran restlessly to the shade of the tree to offer their respects. Du Ruolin and He Zhiyao sat cross-legged face to face, watching the farce over there, and felt for the first time that the difference between people was so big.

Chen Menglin is like a fairy on Penglai Island, the shade of the trees around her is an illusory background for her, she smiles and refuses everyone's courtesy, but it is just right not to make people want to leave her.

It's so important to be good-looking.

In this school, no one will want to know your obscurity, no one will want to compete with you academically, and no one will talk to you about your goals and ideals. Everyone is competing to see who has the best conditions, and they are busy competing to be the best people on campus.

Du Ruolin suddenly felt that he was out of place with this school, everything here was very different from what he imagined. Even the group of people in the shade of the trees are not people of the same world as themselves.

Thinking so, she sighed and sulked, and turned her head to look at He Zhiyao in disappointment. I saw He Zhiyao burying his head, not knowing what to twist in his hand, and there were still words on his lips.

"What are you counting?" Du Ruolin asked curiously.

He Zhiyao didn't stop the movements of his hand, as if he had finally taken out a sentence to answer her in his busy schedule: "I'm calculating...... How to arrange the living expenses for this month. ”

"And what about your calculations?"

He Zhiyao glanced at her and didn't answer, but continued to lower his head and was busy calculating her accounts, looking serious. Du Ruolin was not annoyed, on the contrary, because of He Zhiyao's move, she let go of the thoughts that had been hanging in the air, and her heart became steady.

Yes, this world is made up of ordinary people, like He Zhiyao, like Mo Yan, like Qin Xiaofu, like thousands of unknown people like them. They are stars scattered on the earth, although they are not as dazzling as the sun and moon, but in their world, they will always shine on themselves and no one will disturb them, how beautiful.

Without thousands of stars, there would be no brightness of the night sky.

......

At the end of the fourth plenary training, the chief instructor finally blew the long-awaited whistle of the students-

At the end of the training, it's time for meals.

A group of students in camouflage uniforms flocked to the cafeteria, lest they run slowly and run out of food. As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of green.

If you really take food as your day, no matter what time it is, eating is always the most positive.

The school's cafeteria is divided into three floors: the first floor sells snacks such as wonton dumplings, the second floor is a fast food cafeteria, and the third floor is a breakfast snack and the like. As for how much to eat, it's up to you to decide what to eat.

Du Ruolin is not as careful as He Zhiyao, nor does he care about the need to care about image like Chen Menglin, but he is better at grabbing food.

She carried two full pots of food, and her fiery eyes quickly settled on a perfect position, and quickly jumped to the table and sat down.

"How far away! This way! She raised her hand and waved vigorously at the confused He Zhiyao on the other side of the crowd.

He Zhiyao carried his schoolbag on his back, avoided the push of a few people, frowned and paced to the dining table, looking at the plates full of dishes on the table in amazement.

"I've been lining up for a long time to get this chicken cutlet, and this piece is yours - starve me to death!" Du Ruolin sandwiched a piece of chicken steak onto another bowl and pushed it in the direction of He Yao.

He Zhiyao sat down, looked at the full food in his bowl in surprise, opened his mouth, and it took a long time to find his voice: "This is a total ...... How much does it cost? ”

"Your twelve, my twelve!" Du Ruolin replied as he handed the food to his mouth and devoured it.

"What?!" He Zhiyao's eyes widened, "Twelve! I plan to eat only ten dollars per meal! ”

Du Ruolin paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, and smiled flatteringly: "First meal, eat more." ”

After a few words of coaxing, Qian Jing He Zhiyao finally ate the first meal in the cafeteria, and muttered something reluctantly while eating.

The two of them were eating when a shadow suddenly fell, blocking the light from outside. Du Ruolin looked up at the unchewed food in his mouth - the bright smiling face in front of him was Qin Xiaofu at the front table.

"Hello, Du Ruolin. Didn't you say that it was good to eat together? I've been looking for you for a long time! She smiled sweetly, and pulled the girl next to her to introduce, "This is Yu Xizi, who is in the same dormitory as me, and is also in our class, and she sits in the second group." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Du Ruolin reacted, hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth clean, and set his eyes on the girl introduced by Qin Xiaofu.

This is a very strange female classmate. This is Du Ruolin's first impression of her.

Yussiko has short, unkempt hair that covers her thick eyebrows like crayons, and her bright lipstick and blush make the pimple-ridden potholes on her face even more obvious. She seems to like to dress up very much, but she doesn't know how to match colors, and the red and green outfit and the strange hanging ornaments on her hands make people look a little suffocating.

From a distance, she looks like a Christmas tree that coincides with the holidays, dazzling and vulgar. The miscellaneous ornaments have lowered the grade of the whole person, and there is no sense of beauty. It's not as hearty as the simple ponytail like Du Ruolin.

Ruolin retracted his gaze, unfolded a warm smile and said: "Hello, your name is good, my name is Du Ruolin, her name is He Zhiyao, we ......"

"Did your old godmother bring it yesterday? Give me some, I can't take it a bit. ”

You Xizi interrupted her, picked a place to sit down, and asked Qin Xiaofu beside her casually, without even looking at Du Ruolin.

Du Ruolin felt very embarrassed, swallowed the words stuck in his throat, and quietly buried his head and looked at the rice noodles in his hand.

Doesn't she want to know herself? Is it intentional? This attitude is even more infuriating than Chen Menglin! People are cold beauties - what are you?

Du Ruolin poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and thought sullenly.

After eating, on the way back to the classroom from the cafeteria, there was no communication between them, every time Du Ruolin wanted to stir up a topic to ease the atmosphere, Yu Xizi didn't give face at all, and didn't want to care about her appearance at all.

"Does she have an opinion about herself?! Where does she get her confidence and innocence? ”

Du Ruolin glanced at her indignantly, not wanting to look at her again. You Xizi beside her never took her gaze, from beginning to end, he raised his head clearly and did not look at her.

After returning to the classroom, the four of them dispersed the team, Du Ruolin watched Yu Xizi walk away, pulled He Zhiyao and muttered: "Look at her, what do you mean...... Does she have any opinion about us? ”

He Zhiyao didn't look back, with a look of indifference, and said calmly while cleaning up the table: "People are different, she loves this and lets her be like this - anyway, there is no communication between us and her." ”

……

During the first lunch break of the school year, everyone's sleepiness was aroused by the gentle sound of the bell.

Maybe it was because the military training was too tiring, and everyone obediently fell asleep when they heard the sound.

For Du Ruolin, who can eat and sleep, she will not miss any opportunity to have a good rest. From childhood to adulthood, she has always "come and go", and can sleep well in any environment.

This strong ability to survive is also closely related to her childhood growth environment.

Du Ruolin grew up in a very feudal family, and her parents "imprisoned" her at home when she was very young, let her study, and wanted to raise her into a big lady who did not leave the door.

More than once she heard her father prevaricate the children who came to her to play with her under countless excuses, and more than once she wondered if she could become a talent by blocking her freedom and restricting her interests?

She slowly became disinclined to study, and she had rebelled against the feudal shackles, but under the hindrance of her parents again and again, she could only accept their arrangements resignedly—just like in the attic, longing to watch the children who walked away with toys.

Ruolin hangs on the edge of the dream. Half-asleep and half-awake, I remembered that when I was a child, my vocal teacher praised herself: she has a very high musical talent, has the skill of "absolute pitch", and has a naturally good voice, but she can't practice at home, so she can only secretly hide under the quilt and sing. The excellent voice was pressed weak and small, and it lost the momentum it had when it first spoke.

In addition to singing, she has a wide range of interests, but for her parents, these are all wastes of money and delays in learning. So until now, some people have excellent grades, and some people have a skill, but she has fallen behind the crowd and has become the most inconspicuous ordinary person.

But on the other hand, it was precisely this rebellious power condensed in Du Ruolin's heart that she had the courage to fight against the social teenager that night, to meet her black angel, and to feel that what was worth looking forward to in this world......

The piercing ringing of the bell woke her from her dream. Du Ruolin reluctantly raised his head from his soft little pillow, rubbed his hazy eyes, wiped off the saliva oozing from the corners of his mouth, and stretched his eyelids to look out of the window, but was excited back by the dazzling bright light.

The afternoon sun is more daunting than the noon.

"It's a flaming mountain out there, right?" Du Ruolin squinted his eyes and muttered.

The military training in the second half began again.

At the urging of the instructor, each student reluctantly gathered on the playground, complaining that the weather was hot and sunny.

"O you people! If you had been in a state like you when you were fighting before, the enemy would have hit the door of the house and still slept in a daze, and one by one his life would have been gone! ”

The instructor gave a whole team of orders, pointing at this group of lazy students with hatred, and at the same time like a strict father, slapping those classmates who had not woken up from their dreams.

Du Ruolin stood up straight, not daring to move. I vaguely listened to a few girls behind me whispering something, as if mentioning Chen Menglin.

Chen Menglin disappeared in the afternoon, and everyone was curious about what illness she had, with some concern and some ridicule between her words.
