Zheng Shuxia put away the knee pads and wrist pads under the bed, and when he lay on the pillow, his short wet hair was almost dry.

Today was a rare rest day without any training, and she finished the day quite leisurely from morning to night, but she felt more tired than when she was training.

Not physically, but psychologically.

The gift from Lin and Xiao disturbed her mind again, and reminded Zheng Shuxia of the song 'He Doesn't Love Me' she was forced to sing when she was in KTV.

He did it on purpose, deliberately reminding her of the fact that Song Rin didn't love her.

Because he knows everything.

Zheng Shuxia's memory unconsciously returned to his senior year of high school.

The source of all the intersection between her and Lin and Xiao has to start with Zheng Qichuan's graduation ceremony.

Lin Youxiao is the same age as Zheng Qichuan, studied at the military academy in Shencheng, and after graduation, he entered the Jianyi Brigade in Jingbei - the same trajectory she is doing now.

After he passed the assessment, he didn't seem to be so busy for a while, and he often came to the first middle school to see her.

Zheng Shuxia felt strange at first, but because he was a good friend of Zheng Qichuan and one of her 'elder brothers', although he was puzzled, he didn't have much disgust.

Lin and Xiao owed her a lot of snacks such as cheese sticks, duck feet, milk and gummies, etc., which were also from that time.

While the boy was eating the little girl's snacks, he brought her a bunch of delicious food every time he came.

Overall, Zheng Shuxia 'owes' him more.

But just by virtue of eating snacks and chatting with each other, they are not good friends.

really got acquainted because Lin and Xiao sent her home after evening self-study.

Zheng Shuxia never uses the driver at home to send her, the distance from Zheng's family to No. 1 Middle School is six kilometers, and she has always run to and from school.

So when she heard Lin Youxiao say that she wanted to send herself home, the girl smiled and politely refused: "No need, I ran home, and I'm not afraid of danger at night." ”

When it comes to danger, she can solve it herself, and she has solved it before.

There should be pride, Zheng Shuxia has never lacked.

But Lin Youxiao's answer was unexpected-

"You think I'm going to drive you?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't understand: "Who said I was going to send you like this?" I'm going to run with you. ”

“……”

"And I'm not worried about the dangers you're going to encounter, like the scoundrels who like to rob at night." Lin Youxiao shrugged: "Your brother said that you punched one flying." ”

Zheng Shuxia didn't expect him to know everything.

The little girl's little smug mood disappeared before she had time to show off, and asked sullenly, "Why do you want to run with me?" ”

"Can't we run together?" Lin Youxiao smiled and asked, "Or are you afraid that you won't be able to outrun me?" ”

"Of course I can't outrun you." Zheng Shuxia didn't think about it, and said confidently: "You are the pilot of Jianyi!" ”

She has been determined to become a pilot since the second year of junior high school, and she has an in-depth understanding of this, how can she not know what kind of existence Jianyi is?

The pyramids in the troops, the Longtan Tiger's Den, can stay there are all national diamond-level combat arms.

"Oh, so you know what I do." Lin Youxiao said expressionlessly: "I saw that you thought I was going to drive you at first, but I thought you didn't know." ”

“……”

"Now that you know, what are you hesitating about?" Lin Youxiao snatched her schoolbag and carried it on her back, and waved her hand: "Brother let you order, run with a heavy load." ”

“……”

Zheng Shuxia felt that he was a little entangled in it.

Moreover, Lin and Xiao obviously wanted to help her share the schoolbag, but they had to say that they were burdened.

What a strange brother.

Zheng Shuxia complained in her heart, barely keeping up with Lin Youxiao's footsteps.

It's just that although they are only one meter apart from one after the other, one of them seems to be walking leisurely in their posture, and the other is already out of breath.

The running process was not intense, but it was the first time that Zheng Shuxia felt such a strong sense of oppression - she deliberately slowed down and sprinted hard, but Lin Youxiao kept her strength like a bend under her feet, deliberately controlled the distance, but she was able to 'hang' her all the time.

It was just a meter short, but she couldn't catch up until she ran home.

The people of the Annihilation One...... It's really strong.

This is the first time Zheng Shuxia has such an intuitive feeling.

She has always been aware of the physical differences between men and women, so she has been deliberately honing herself for several years, trying to make herself as no worse than anyone else.

To tell the truth, Zheng Shuxia has always felt that she has done a good job, and she is quite proud of herself.

It wasn't until Lin Youxiao ran with her that she just ran like this, and she really understood what a 'gap' was.

is not only the gap in physical fitness, but even the boy's psychological control of her, as if he knows when she will accelerate and decelerate, and then the mentality of unhurried control of the distance makes Zheng Shuxia breathtaking.

How hard do you have to work to catch up with such a person?

Zheng Shuxia hung his head, and couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

She stopped under the streetlight, and the slender shadow in the night was stretched long.

"Well, it's your house." Lin and Xiao also stopped, raised their hands and looked at their watches: "Twenty-five minutes, not bad." ”

Twenty-five minutes? Zheng Shuxia was stunned for a moment, and raised his head in astonishment: "How is it possible?" ”

She has been running this road for two years and has always been on record, and she is always improving, but she still has to score about 28 points.

"How could it be?" Lin Youxiao smiled: "Because I'm leading in front, don't you think you're tired of running today?" ”

Lead? That's right...... It's the lead!

Zheng Shuxia suddenly realized that she was always in a state of 'catching up' today, because she couldn't catch up because she had no distractions to concentrate, she was depressed, and even forgot how fast and tired she was running today.

If it weren't for Lin Youxiao's reminder, she would have completely forgotten to look at the time, and she wouldn't have found that she had improved by three minutes from her previous record.

But so what?

Aware of the gap, Zheng Shuxia was not complacent at all because of this progress.

"It's a long way from you." She said mournfully.

"Wouldn't it? Sister, do you want to compare with me now? Lin Hexiao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't cry or laugh: "My brother hasn't been in vain all these years, you have to have a limit if you are so strong." ”

“……”

He should be telling the truth, but Zheng Shuxia always felt that this person's tone was a little lacking.

"Let's not talk about the difference in physical strength between men and women, just because I'm five years older than you, I can't ignore the fact that I've practiced for five more years." Lin Youxiao seems to be earnest in his education: "Running seems to be the simplest and most basic exercise, but in fact, it is the most endurance-training." ”

"You can reach this rate at the age of seventeen, and you have a lot of potential."

Zheng Shuxia was slightly stunned, and looked at him with blinking: "Brother, what is your speed limit?" ”

Of course, she knew that it was not Lin Youxiao's real level just now, and it was most likely to test her limits.

"The team is all trained on a five-kilometer basis, and they all run with weights, and no one has calculated how long it takes to travel six kilometers lightly." Lin and Xiao estimated the number: "Twelve minutes? ”

“…… Is this really the limit? Zheng Shuxia 'chuckled' in his heart, and once again refreshed his cognition.

"Probably." Lin Hexiao paused: "After all, I haven't really counted, I may be humble." ”

......" Zheng Shuxia was really made to vomit blood by this person's 'self-humility'.

Her voice flickered: "I'll go home first......"

"Let's go back." Lin Youxiao smiled: "I'll run with you when I'm free." ”

Zheng Shuxia paused, turned around and nodded vigorously: "Okay." ”

After such a night, she felt that there was such a 'great god' who could guide her, and it was good for her to make progress.

Although Lin Youxiao doesn't have much time to spare, and he can come once or twice a month, he keeps his promise and will run with her whenever he comes to see her.

The distance is so unconsciously shortened, and in the past few months, from the long night of winter to the beginning of spring, and into summer, Zheng Shuxia has become more and more comfortable with the name of 'brother'.

Once, Lin and Xiao came to see her at noon, and the two of them didn't have time to run, so they took advantage of the little girl's lunch break to sit on a bench in the boulevard and chat.

Zheng Shuxia is curious about everything about the real military academy and the army, and there are always many questions he wants to ask.

Lin and Xiao knew everything, although they were a little improper, but basically every question was answered.

He rarely asked her about anything, but he did occasionally.

"Xia Xia, why do you want to be a pilot?" The boy looked at the little girl, who still had some baby fat, and she didn't look at him, but through the gaps in the leaves, at the clear blue sky.

"Huh? Because I like it! Zheng Shuxia thought for a while and replied a little childishly: "It's cool to fly a plane." ”

Lin and Xiao smiled: "Just because of this? ”

"Well......" In fact, Zheng Shuxia didn't say it all, but in addition, she was still because of Song Rin's words - "Xia Xia, you will be able to take your brother's plane in the future, you can go wherever you want, and your brother will pull you." ”

It's just that she doesn't want to be pulled by Song Rin, she wants to fly with him and walk side by side.

"Isn't it good to be a pilot?" Zheng Shuxia changed the topic, and looked at Lin Hexiao with his face in his little hand: "Brother is trying to say, will it be hard to become a pilot?" ”

It is no longer known how many people have tried to dissuade her on similar grounds.

Kelin and Xiao shook their heads: "As long as you like it, it's not hard." ”

Zheng Shuxia was stunned and asked rhetorically: "Then why is my brother a pilot?" ”

Lin and Xiao smiled and replied quickly: "Because I'm very good." ”

“…… Yes? ”

"I'm awesome, I'm very good at everything, and I'm almost a genius with special talents in modern society." Lin Youxiao replied as a matter of course: "If a person as powerful as me only leaves his talents to himself and his family, and limits his eyes to the stage of 'living a good life', it would be too sinful, and he should contribute to more people and benefit the public." ”

This sounds arrogant, even a little narcissistic, but in fact there is a bit of inexplicable truth.

Zheng Shuxia wanted to laugh at first, but he smiled and laughed, and gradually thought about it seriously.

"Hmm." Then she nodded and climbed along the pole: "Then I'm also very good, so I should be a pilot." ”

Lin Youxiao admired her and his own stinky spirit, smiled, and didn't continue to ask.

He knew that the little girl was not telling the truth, because he already knew that she wanted to be a pilot for a big reason...... It's just that now is not the time to puncture.

However, he did feel that there was nothing wrong with it.

As a little princess who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she doesn't worry about eating and drinking and no pressure from her parents, it's good to have a goal to pursue to spur herself.

Lin Youxiao rubbed Zheng Shuxia's hair, which had been cut short at that time: "Remember, it's not a good thing to live too comfortably. ”

"Since you've decided you're going to take the hardest path, do it."

He said, "Brother supports you. ”

This is the first time that Zheng Shuxia has received support on the road of secretly deciding the future.

From Lin and Xiao, the recognition of this top pilot of Jianyi made her unexpected and couldn't help but rejoice at the same time.

You must know that before this, the little girl just practiced her physical fitness silently, worked hard, and used the excuse of 'girls should also strengthen their bodies and practice self-defense skills', and they didn't dare to really decide to tell anyone.

But the appearance of Lin and Xiao is like a surprise from the sky.

He easily saw through her thoughts, knew her dreams, supported her decisions, and even accompanied her to practice and progress......

At this moment, Zheng Shuxia really regarded him as a brother in his heart.

Very good, very good 'brother'.

So, Zheng Shuxia naturally invited the good brother she recognized in her heart to attend her eighteenth birthday banquet.

Girls have always disliked fanfare, but with their adult birthdays and high school graduations, the Zheng family is going to do it in a big way.

She didn't object, because she needed such an occasion where everyone was present to announce her 'lawless' decision - a good girl has been obedient for a long time, and she always has to be presumptuous.

Zheng Shuxia didn't take other people's stunned as fun, but sooner or later she would have to tell the fact that she had applied for a military school.

On the formal occasion of the birthday party, her parents and brother didn't have so much energy to blame her at the first time.

Zheng Shuxia calculated everything, but after all calculations, he didn't expect Song Rin to bring his new girlfriend.

Her high fighting spirit was like a wilted under the arrival of his glamorous girlfriend, and she forced herself to finish speaking, and she couldn't help but hang her head when she got off the stage.

Zheng Shuxia has already practiced the skill of hiding and hiding over the years, she doesn't want to deal with everyone's various inquiries, she just wants to hide herself.

Hide in a place where no one else can find it, and be quiet for a while.

As soon as she got around behind a large pillar, she was grabbed by a hand stretched out from the shadows - the force of the iron hoop made her unable to break free for a while.

Zheng Shuxia was startled, but quickly reacted to who was holding him.

Men Erqing knew about her 'escape' route, and there was only one person who could make her unable to resist.

So the little girl relaxed her body and let him pull her outside the clubhouse.

Until they sat down on the bench in the back garden, the moonlight sprinkled on the two people's bodies, as if gilded with a faint layer of silver.

Lin Youxiao let go of her wrist at this time.

"Brother." Zheng Shuxia asked puzzledly, "Why did you bring me here?" ”

"You should be looking for a hidden place. Lin and Xiao sat relaxed, their slender legs folded, their fingertips tapping their knees.

He glanced at Zheng Shuxia: "There won't be anyone here, let's cry." ”

“…… Why am I crying? Zheng Shuxia didn't understand.

Lin Hexiao pondered for a moment, and said unhurriedly: "I carefully planned on my eighteenth birthday, and I wanted to give someone I liked for a long time a 'surprise', but I didn't expect the other party to bring his girlfriend to give him a head start first." ”

"Don't you want to cry for this kind of blow? Don't hold back. ”
