Chapter VI: Military Training (2)
At half past six in the morning, it was already dawn. Downstairs, the horn stabbed and screaked the "Athletes' March" wake-up bell, accompanied by the noisy chirping of cicadas.
Tao You had a convulsion and woke up from his dream.
Outside the window, the sun shone brightly and hit her in the face. Tao You half-squinted, stretched out his hand to block his eyes, turned over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his breathing, and gradually eased from the weightlessness.
This is a dream of some kind of. Tao You recalled the dream just now, and felt a pang of shame when he thought of his last move.
took the initiative to confess and didn't say anything, and wanted to kiss others, but the funny thing was that he didn't even know their names, and finally slapped him to relieve his anger.
She covered her face with a thin blanket and kicked her legs around, hoping to forget it all.
"Get up, little you." Hong Xiqi got up and came to Tao You's bedside, patted her on the shoulder, and whispered, "You can't be late today." โ
"Well, I'm awake, and I'll get up." Tao You said, getting up and walking to the bathroom.
"What's wrong with your face, there's a mark?" Hong Xiqi took a closer look at her face, "It's like a palm print." โ
Tao You touched his face in panic, feeling nothing.
No way! That slap just now, slapped yourself in the face?! I said how the slap was so real.
"It's okay, maybe it's been too long." Tao You found a reason to explain.
When she passed through the full-length mirror, she took a closer look, but fortunately, the mark was not very heavy, and it should be able to disappear immediately.
Thinking of what Song Yimian said in her dream, she took a few steps back.
boiled cabbage in clear water, how can I boil cabbage in clear water, except for this face with a little childishness.
She lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing her small waist without fat, and turned left and right in front of the mirror, concave a few contrived shapes from time to time, and was very satisfied with herself.
The next second, he heard the bathroom door open, Tao You quickly put down the hem of his clothes, coughed dryly, approached the mirror, and pretended to be cutting his hair.
"I'm alright, come on." Chen Lian came out of the bathroom and had already changed her clothes.
Tao You observed Chen Lian's expression from the mirror, and saw that her eyes were lowered, her face was as usual, she should not have noticed her narcissistic actions just now, so she put her mind down and went to the bathroom.
Hong Hee-ki was humming a song and applying sunscreen, and the top tucked into her pants outlined the curves of her body well.
Tao You looked at Hong Xiqi, then turned his head to look at himself in the mirror, instantly lost his confidence, and even felt that what Song Yimian said made sense.
No, no, no, you're the best, the best. Tao You brushed his teeth hard, as if he wanted to brush away all these unconfident thoughts.
"Assemble!" The instructor whistled and shouted, "It's all here today." โ
When Tao You heard this, his face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed, couldn't he get over this matter.
She hadn't lined up when she came, Song Yimian stepped on it, and she didn't oversleep. She had forced herself not to think about him, not to look at him, but her eyes and brain were just disobedient.
Especially when his eyes moved to his lips and face, he always remembered what he had done boldly in his dreams, and his face was a little painful.
It's a good thing that the slap didn't really hit him in the face, otherwise such a handsome face would have been ruined. Putting aside those things in the dream, Tao You still wants to feast his eyes.
This series of rich inner activities has caused Tao You to be absent all the time. It's okay to stand in a military posture, and I can't see if I'm distracted. But today, I trained to take the right step and turn in various directions.
When practicing turning, because he was thinking about something else in his mind, Tao You's reaction would always be one or two beats slower because of desertion, and he would turn in the wrong direction.
The first few times it wasn't that serious, either she reacted in time, or Hong Xiqi, who was standing behind her, reminded her in a low voice.
After the practice, the instructor really couldn't stand it, whistled to tell everyone to stop, stood in front of the queue, and looked at Tao You standing in the second row through the first row: "The girl who was late yesterday!" It's you again! What's going on! There is no distinction between the front and the back, the left and the right! โ
Tao You's face instantly turned red to the base of her neck, and the eyes of the three rows behind obviously fell on her, Tao You was like a thorn in the back, and quickly apologized: "Report to the instructor, there is no next time!" โ
The instructor didn't bother her too much, just reminded her to concentrate and listen to the command, and then blew the whistle to let them continue practicing. Tao You didn't dare to think about anything else, and completely drew his attention back to military training.
I don't know how long I turned or how long I stood there.
It only felt like the sun was already hanging over their heads, and even with their hats, it was still dazzling. The ground was hot, and there was no shade in the playground for them to rest.
Tao You felt that her face was hot and painful, and the sweat kept cutting down her forehead, combining into big droplets of water on her chin, which was a little itchy, but she didn't dare to touch it.
She didn't want to be reprimanded in public anymore.
The sun was so poisonous that several students in the playground collapsed and were taken to the infirmary.
Tao You felt that his body began to shake slightly, and he was about to lose his hand.
Fortunately, at this time, the instructor blew the whistle and told them to go to rest.
Tao You's whole person was relieved, and he trotted to the sideline with the last bit of perseverance, and only then did he grab a seat in front of the wall.
Leaning against the cold wall, Tao You felt that half of his life had been saved.
Exhaling comfortably, Tao You's legs went limp, his hands propped up on the wall, and slowly slid to the ground. The moment her butt touched the plastic runway, she bared her teeth and lifted her buttocks, and the ground was hot enough to boil eggs.
Tao You could only stand up, leaning his back against the wall, stretching his legs forward slightly, and gently tapping his stiff calves with his hands.
"Xiao You, give you water." As soon as Hong Xiqi disbanded, he rushed to the commissary to grab ice water.
Tao You took the water and put it on his face, the stinging sensation decreased, and it was very refreshing: "Thank you." You come and lean on for a while. Tao Yougang let go of half of his body. Hong Xi took it, lest he be preempted by others.
"Xiao You, what were you thinking just now? You don't look like a person with no sense of direction. Hong Xiqi asked after drinking the water.
"Not really." Tao You didn't know how to tell her what was going on in her head, she was really ashamed, "It's just a little hot." โ
"Oh, then you drink more water." Hong Xiqi nodded, rolled his eyes, and proposed, "Or, you pretend to be dizzy later, and then I'll carry you to the infirmary." That way we can all rest. โ
Tao You: "ยทยทยทยทยทยท" She's not good at that.
Hong Xiqi thought about it and denied himself: "Forget it, it's unreliable." It's too easy to see. โ
"Beep-gather! I'll give you a minute! The instructor stood on the runway with his hands behind his back.
"It's a gathering, don't think about it." Tao You put down the water and pulled Hong Xiqi to run to the team.
Next is the kick. After the instructor explained it once, he began to shout the password for them to practice on their own.
The same hand and foot seems to be a must-have for every military training, and there are always a few students who will work hand in hand and foot, but they feel that something is missing.
Tao You, a person who has never been the same hand and foot, is like she has just learned to walk at this time, no matter how she changes, she will change back to the same hand and foot in the end.
Subtly, the people behind also began to work together.
Eventually, their column, starting with her, plus the other two boys were all taken out for separate training.
After several trainings, all the people who were led astray by Tao You have been changed, leaving Tao You and the other two boys.
She and the other boy are a little better, at least they can swing their arms, and the rest of them don't even swing their arms, their whole body seems to be sealed, and their knees don't bend, and they walk like a live-action version of Plants vs. Zombies.
Tao You was already anxious, and he was even more anxious when he heard the laughter of his classmates.
What's even worse is that she seemed to hear Song Yimian's laughter, and in order to confirm, she used her spare eyes to look at it and found that the other party was looking at her with a smile.
Looking at each other, Tao Youyou retracted his gaze with a swish. He's laughing at me too! Oh my God, I made a fool of myself in front of him again, have I used up all these years of social death in the past few days?! Don't be so decrepit!
The instructor found two sticks out of nowhere, and asked Tao You and the other two boys to stand behind him, grabbing the sticks with both hands, and he led them away.
However, the three stinkers were Zhuge Liang, and before they knew it, the instructor was also led astray. Tao You wanted to cry without tears, she really didn't know what kind of mood she should be in now.
The instructor couldn't help but bend down and cover his face and smile for a while, and when the laughter was over, he stood up and continued to teach the three of them. At the second when the dinner bell rang, Xu subconsciously told himself that he was going to eat, and he was late and there was no food, Tao You finally changed his movements.
The instructor made her proficient a few more times before letting her go.
"I'll follow the military training and make a mistake." Tao You clutched his rumbling belly.
"Maybe you've been in the back of the water for the past two days." Hong Xiqi comforted Tao You, "It's okay to pass." โ
"I'll have to make up for myself with a big meal later." Tao You frowned and said, "Anyway, it's a lecture in the afternoon, just sit and listen." โ
Tao You and Hong Xiqi had just finished eating and walked outside the cafeteria, when Song Yimian and another boy caught up: "Tao You." โ
Tao You rubbed his stomach and turned his head with a smile: "Huh? Seeing that it was Song Yimian, her expression changed, as if she had seen some flood beast, and she was about to run.
"Run for what." Song Yimian caught up in three or two steps, "You really don't remember me, I think we really met." โ
Tao You couldn't hide, so he could only stop: "Classmate, we really haven't seen each other, there are more people called Tao You in this world, you can't see one and just say we've seen it before." โ
The light in Song Yimian's eyes dimmed and stepped aside: "I'm sorry to disturb me." โ
Tao You pulled Hong Xiqi out, but he didn't ignore the gossip on Hong Xiqi's face.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Tao You was pressed to the seat by Hong Xiqi: "Tell me the truth, what is the matter between you and him." โ
Tao You shrunk between the chair and Hong Xiqi, and explained the events of yesterday evening clearly.
"That's it?" Hong Xiqi sat back in his seat and expressed disdain, "What's so good about running here, isn't it just admitting a mistake." You were like that just now, I thought you had offended him before, and I was afraid that he would recognize you and seek revenge on you, or that he was interested in you and wanted to talk to him. โ
"How, how is it possible." Interesting is also interesting to me.
Tao You didn't say the last half of the sentence. She was afraid that Hong Xiqi would say it with a big mouth, and if it reached the teacher's ears, then she would have to mix it up.
"But also, such a handsome guy, how can there be fewer people chasing him, and no matter how it is his turn, it will never be his turn to chase others." Hong Xiqi looked at Tao You, "You shouldn't be his cup of tea." โ
Tao You listened and pretended not to care, but couldn't help asking, "How do you know which one he likes?" What if he likes me? โ
Hong Xiqi patted Tao You's shoulder and solemnly shattered Tao You's little fantasy: "Tsk, child, dreams and self-confidence are necessary, but don't overdo it." โ
Tao You: "ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"But it's rare that you actually talked to Song Yimian so quickly." Hong Xiqi wanted to make Tao You feel better.
"What did you say his name was?" Tao You thought he had misheard.
"Song Yimian." Hong Xiqi was incredulous, "No, you don't even know people's names yet!" โ
"He didn't say, and I wasn't too embarrassed to ask." After listening to the name, Tao You thought of his childhood playmate, Song Xiaopang.
It's the same name again, which is too coincidental.
Tao You began to doubt in his heart, but there was no change on his face.
He was so fat when he was a child, he didn't look good, no matter how long he was, he wouldn't be plastic surgery, and at his current age, he couldn't have plastic surgery. Well, it can't be him.
Tao You relied on his memory of Song Xiaopang to compare the two in his mind, and couldn't find anything in common, and finally determined that they should just happen to have the same name.
"Ahh Song Yimian, who was coming out of the commissary, sneezed.
"Yo, this is someone thinking about you." Gu Yi walked over with his pocket, "Anyway, who is that girl just now, I see that you are very familiar, why don't I know this person." โ
"Nobody, I should have admitted my mistake." Song Yimian replied perfunctorily, his mind was obviously not here.
Seeing that Song Yi was reluctant to say, Gu Yi didn't continue to ask.
He and Song Yimian have been in the same class since elementary school, iron buddies from childhood to adulthood, he doesn't know what Song Yimian is about, he only regarded this as a small episode, and didn't take it too seriously.
