Chapter 64: Twenty-First Birthday

Later, on my birthday, when we gathered for dinner at noon, Abin asked Shizuko and me to wait for him in the library after dinner, and he was mysterious, but we guessed it should be a birthday present for me.

After eating, we went to the library as promised, and happened to see Abin walking over with a bouquet of flowers.

"Abin, it's not appropriate to send such a big bouquet of flowers, right?" Shizuko shouted from afar.

Abin didn't speak until he got closer.

"Happy Birthday!" Abin handed me the flowers.

I stared at the flowers, didn't speak, didn't answer, I was trying to think, as if I had seen it somewhere, it was familiar.

"Xiaoxiao? Take it. Shizuko gave me a nudge.

"Oh......" I took the flower, but I didn't react yet.

"Mine?" Shizuko reached out to Ah Bin.

"Oh...... This...... To you! Abin quickly pulled a rose from the bouquet in my hand.

"It's so heartless! I don't want it! Shizuko pretended to be angry.

"This flower...... Where did you buy it? "I've always wondered.

"Yes...... It was given to you by Du Shao, not by me. Abin carefully inserted the flower that he had taken away.

"Du Shao is here? No way! How to ......" Shizuon reacted greatly.

"No, it was delivered by courier."

Oh, Du Shao, no wonder it feels familiar, he gave me an identical bouquet at the school gate on my birthday last year, and Abin helped me carry it back.

It's been a year, I wonder how he's doing now?

He ...... Got in touch with you? How did you two meet? Shizuko reacted immediately.

"Is he okay?" When I mentioned Du Shao at this moment, I also remembered a lot of past events.

"Well...... That one...... I can't say. Abin was reluctant to say.

"Is something wrong?" I suddenly felt a little nervous.

"No, no...... It's not early, let's go back. "Abin does seem to have a reason, but since he insists on not saying it, we don't need to ask it.

"Oops! Xiaoxiao, why didn't Brother Jun come today? Shizuko shouted.

"Why are you here?" Abin glanced at Shizuko.

"He must be very busy, and he has something to do at home." It stands to reason that Xiao Jun will remember my birthday, it must be too busy, or my godmother's illness...... I don't dare to think about it.

Wait for the evening to call him and ask his godmother about the situation, the time has been too tight lately, I almost don't use my mobile phone, I want to lie down after washing at night, and I can fall asleep immediately after lying down.

Shizuko and I rushed back to the dormitory, folded our clothes and lay down to rest for a while, because I had to practice low-posture prostrate in the afternoon, which was the item I was most worried about.

The team gathered and took it to the playground, the barbed wire fence had been pulled, and there were several piles of guns next to it, I shivered when I saw it, speed and speed, ten meters low, ten meters sideways, thirty meters of leaping, passing, I really can't do it!

Squad by class lined up to receive guns and bullet bags, our girls' class was at the end, and the boys' class who were ready in front of them had already started training.

Preparation...... The squad leaders of the first and second classes took their guns and lay down at the starting point.

A whistle sounded, and they ran like crocodiles, like food.

The pace was so fast that the second set had already started before we even got our bullet bags on.

I kept repeating the essentials in my mind: the palm of my right hand was up, the gun was facing right, the muzzle was stuck on the handle, the rest of my finger was holding the strap, and the barrel was close to the inside of my right arm. As you move forward, bend back to your right leg, extend your left hand, and use the strength of your right leg and left arm to move your body forward, while bending back to your left leg and extending your right hand, and use the strength of your left leg and right arm to move your body forward. Be sure to exert your arms and legs together, and your buttocks must not be lifted, otherwise your clothes will be torn.

I was in a group with Ah Hui, although we were all very apprehensive, but I knew that Ah Hui had no problem and would definitely be able to get by.

Preparation---

With a whistle, we kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground.

Come on, come on, I gritted my teeth and encouraged myself.

Ten meters, twenty meters, I could finally stand up, and I rushed to the finish line with my gun.

It's still two seconds away, and I can't escape the life of the extra practice.

Ah Hui patted me and motioned to go to the class together, and I nodded and followed.

I listened carefully to the comrades who pinched the watch to report the time, and the sisters had passed, and I was the only one who did not meet the standard.

"Rest in place!" The captain gave the order to rest.

Each squad held their guns in the middle and sat down in a circle.

"I'm not alone! I'm so miserable! I took off my hat and pretended to cry.

"It's not much, it'll be over next time." Ah Hui said seriously.

"Checker, your face is covered in dirt." Shizuko patted the dirt off her body.

The boys' class next door was also discussing what they had just practiced, whose clothes were torn and who started half a beat slower.

I subconsciously touched my back with my backhand, but fortunately, my clothes were not torn.

In the distance, the duty officer appeared in everyone's field of vision, and everyone sighed for a while, thinking that it was another notification to a leader to check.

I saw him run straight to the captain and whisper something.

"Xiaoxiao!"

The captain shouted my name at the girls' class and motioned for me to come over.

I ran over anxiously to everyone's attention.
