Life in the army is boring and bitter.

But I like this kind of life, doing one thing repeatedly every day, squandering my physical energy to the extreme, and when I am most tired, I will no longer have the extra energy to think of her, the girl I have guarded for more than ten years.

But I still underestimated my self-control, and my subconscious was still thinking about her, so during the years I was a soldier, I often dreamed of her, and the most common dream was the scene when we first met.

When I was in the third grade of primary school, my mother transferred Gu Zijin and me to a primary school in Quanzhen and stayed at her friend's house.

Ye Zhenzhen is indeed a special girl, she likes to wear a high ponytail, wear a good-looking skirt, her grades are very good but she is not arrogant at all, she always likes to laugh, she looks very good when she laughs, like a marshmallow, sweet and soft. At that time, I was very small, stupid, had poor academic performance, did not like sports, and was often punished by the teacher for stealing snacks in class.

My tablemate Chubby, I don't know if he was jealous that I was thinner than him, or because I always had endless snacks, but he hated me very much, and always bullied me because of his size, and even robbed me of my pocket money. I told the teacher about him, but he refused to admit it, and although the teacher didn't punish him in the end, he hated me so much.

That evening, Gu Zijin went to the girl's house in the same class to play, Zhen Zhen was called to the office by the head teacher, I was walking home alone, Xiaopang suddenly ran out from behind me, and punched and kicked me without saying anything. I was too thin to beat him, and he was pinned to the ground after a few punches.

When I gave up struggling, suddenly a little girl in a pink princess dress rushed over, and she didn't know where she got the strength, but she pushed Chubby away and helped me up from the ground.

"Are you alright?" She carefully patted the dirt off my body for me.

I wiped away my tears and shook my head silently.

She turned around, crossed her hands on her hips and scolded Fatty menacingly: "Stinky Fatty, I want to tell the teacher that you beat someone." ”

Zhen Zhen is a girl and is the class president, Xiao Pang is naturally a little jealous of her, but he is unwilling, so he went to the ground to grab a handful of mud, threw it at Zhen Zhen's beautiful dress, and then ran away quickly.

"Are you alright?" This time it was my turn to comfort her.

I thought she was going to cry, but she smiled at me and said, "It's okay, let's go home." ”

When I was about to get home, Zhen Zhen suddenly said that she was going to a nearby store to buy toffee and asked me to go in first.

I vaguely felt that she was hiding something from me, so I secretly followed her.

Sure enough, instead of going to the commissary, she walked around to the stream behind her house and crouched down to wash her soiled skirt.

I saw her little back trembling slightly, and I saw her raise her hand and wipe it on her face.

She cried because her favorite dress was soiled.

Looking at her back at that moment, I made up my mind in my heart that I must protect her in this life and never let her secretly shed tears alone.

Since then, I've been running, learning to play basketball, and eating less snacks and more rice. After a while, I grew taller and stronger, and Chubby never bullied me and Zhen Zhen again.

When I was in the sixth grade, Gu Zijin suddenly asked me one day, "Stinky boy, do you like Zhen Zhen?" ”

At that time, I didn't know about love, because I probably liked to play games, play basketball, and read comics more than I liked Ye.

But one day, I met Zhen Zhen talking to a tall boy at the intersection of the road, she pulled the boy's sleeve and asked coquettishly: "Brother Lin Zhi, when will you come back?" ”

Later, I often heard Zhen Zhen mention Lin Zhi, in her mouth, Lin Zhi is simply a perfect man, and when she talks about him, her eyes always shine with admiration.

Zhen Zhen never talked to me so delicately, nor did she talk about me so brightly, I found a strong uneasiness in my heart, as if I was really told by Gu Zijin, I liked Zhen Zhen.

I thought I should share this secret with Vera, and I had my first confession.

It was after the elementary school graduation ceremony, and I stopped her at the door of my house, took out the love poem I had written for the night, and recited it with emotion:

"If you are a mouse, then I am rice, because rats love rice, and it is a truth that will not change for a long time; If you're a dog, then I'm a piece of, and although I smell very bad and smelly, you will often think about me and miss me, especially when you see me, and you want to eat me in one bite, because dogs can't change eating. ”

"Gu Zipei, what are you doing?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.

"I'm confessing to you." I triumphantly waited for Vera to flutter into her arms, only to see her angry eyes.

Zhen Zhen angrily snatched the love letter from my hand, tore it to pieces and threw it on me, "Gu Zipei, you actually scolded me for being a dog, you are a dog who can't change eating, hum!" ”

Although the confession failed, my cheeks thickened after this time, and I confessed to her countless times over the years, but Vera always thought I was joking with her.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't like what I say, so I express it with practical actions.

When she forgot to bring her textbooks, I secretly stuffed them with me, and I was punished for standing anyway since I was a child.

She likes to sleep in, and usually comes to class by stepping on the spot, so I consciously get up early to help her clean the classroom.

She loved Mayday, so I went to the video store and bought all the Mayday tapes and learned Mayday's songs, and I thought I would be able to sing them to her one day.

Even if she doesn't like me, I have to watch over her silently, amuse her when she is frustrated, be there for her when she is lonely, and lend a helping hand when she needs help.

But I didn't expect that Vera would cry so sadly again because of my best brother Lu Li.

Zhen Zhen likes Lu Li, and she likes it very much.

Lu Li went to the United States without saying goodbye after the college entrance examination, and Zhen Zhen locked herself at home for a whole summer vacation, and even secretly revised her college entrance examination volunteer in order to find him.

Seeing that she was so sad for Lu Li, but I was helpless, I scolded Lu Li in my heart for being a turtle grandson, if he came back, I would definitely press him to the ground and punch him a few times.

One night after six months in the army, I was on guard duty when my mobile phone smuggled out vibrated wildly in my pocket.

I quietly picked it up while there was no one around, "Hey, Zhenzhen, I'm standing guard." ”

"Well, then stand guard."

I heard Zhenzhen's voice crying, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?" I can talk to you for 5 minutes. ”

"I just attended the teacher appreciation banquet, drank some wine, and was a little sad. I originally wanted to find your sister, but she was preparing for the judicial exam, and Wang Ning had no signal there, so I couldn't get through to her. After thinking about it, I can only call you. ”

Zhen Zhen was indeed a little drunk, and her tongue chattered a little when she spoke.

I was a little worried, "Where are you?" When you're drunk, go back to your dorm. ”

"I'm squatting in the hallway outside the dormitory." Zhen Zhen suddenly chuckled, "Zipei, you said that since the two people were destined to separate, why did they meet in the first place?" Today, the pair in our class broke up because of graduation, and the two of them went abroad and returned to their hometown, and they may never see each other again. Lu Li and I will never see each other again, but I miss him very much, the more I miss him, the more I want to see him, the more I want to see him, the more I can't forget him, I think I will never forget him in my life. ”

After Zhen Zhen finished speaking, she began to cry on the other end of the phone.

Thousands of miles away from her, I could only silently feel her grief through the cold screen, and the sorrow in my heart that no one knew.

"Zhenzhen, I'll sing you a song, Mayday."

The person on the other end of the line suddenly stopped crying, and I seemed to see her nod her head at me.

I sang very softly, slowly, and with a lot of heart.

"Thank you Zipei, for me, you are not only a friend, but also a relative."

At that moment, I finally knew that I would never be able to win against Lu Li in my life and occupy that position in Zhen Zhen's heart.

Later, I was locked up for three days and copied the military regulations a thousand times for violating military regulations by making phone calls while standing guard. Although I recognize my mistake, I don't regret it, just like when I was punished for her and wrote a review, I was willing.

Three years later, I retired. At the gate of the troops, I met a girl.

The girl who used to say to me downstairs, "Because I like you, I wish you were in the same class as me."

The girl who was in college because she was not in the same city as me was red-eyed in the waiting hall of the train station.

The girl who told me when she found out I was going to be a soldier was going to wait for me no matter how long it was.

I know what it's like to wait for someone, so I don't want this girl to wait as hard as I do.

I opened my arms and watched her run toward my arms with teary eyes.

Shou a tree blooms, waiting for someone to come.

I'm glad I waited for you.
