In new student military training, the busiest ones are the counselor and the student council.
During military training, it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. After the lottery session, everyone began to go to their respective new student classes and cooperate with the counselors to complete the relevant work.
He Ling, who drew mecha maintenance class two with Jiang Xuan, was half happy and half worried. She was happy to be able to work with the school grass as a partner, and also fantasized that the school grass was suddenly interested in her. The worry is that it is the mecha maintenance class two. The school specially opened the back door for special families; it’s estimated that half of them are dandies1紈絝子弟 (wán kù zǐ dì): hedonistic son of rich parents; profligate son of rich parents; fop; dandy; playboy; Fine silk pants; Young man in gorgeous clothes; In the old days, it refers to bureaucrats, landlords and other wealthy and powerful people who eat, drink and play all day long, and do not do their jobs.. She doesn’t know if any world-shaking2驚天動地 (jīng tiān dòng dì): (of sound or influence) world-shaking (idiom); earth-shattering. things will happen to the dandies this year, but she feels tired just thinking about it.
In their first year, they were more scared than hurt3有驚無險 (yǒu jīng wú xiǎn): to be more scared than hurt (idiom); to get through a daunting experience without mishap; to have had only frightening moments but no dangers; threatening but not dangerous; to be successful at the end though having encountered obstacles., and the dandies didn’t cause much trouble. The biggest incident was that the son of the richest man on a certain planet gave Jiang Xuan nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, saying that he would get Jiang Xuan during the military training!
However, School Grass Jiang didn’t even look at him, as if being pursued was a normal thing. The other party still wanted to force a date. As a result, he was beaten so hard by Jiang Xuan that he almost couldn’t take care of himself. Even after the beating, no injuries could be identified. In the end, Jiang Xuan was still able to settle the matter, so maybe, Jiang Xuan’s family background is not bad to begin with.
This is probably why Jiang Xuan had many suitors but no one succeeded in the first year of college. School Grass Jiang’s force value is not bad. He is not an iceberg; he is an ice knife mountain, the kind that can stab people to death.
While He Ling was thinking about this4左思右想 (zuǒ sī yòu xiǎng): to turn over in one’s mind (idiom); to think through from different angles; to ponder; (idiomatic) to deliberate, to think over., Jiang Xuan had already finished reading the list of the Mecha Maintenance class two.
When he saw the last name, it was too familiar.
After going out in the afternoon, he sweated and blew on the air-conditioning in the classroom. Lin Zimao’s cold that just got better, got worse, after taking a shower. He didn’t care what other people were talking about, so he put on earplugs and an eye mask and went to bed. Lin Zimao sleeps on the upper bunk, and won’t be affected by other people.
Wang Yi likes to chat, but knowing that Lin Zimao is sick, he calmed down and began to use his communicator to communicate with his classmates online. He’s quite good at coming up with things to do for himself.
The other students didn’t know what kind of person Lin Zimao was, and they didn’t disturb his sleep. The dormitory was very harmonious for a while.
Jiang Xuan and He Ling came to their dormitory after checking the list in the dormitory next door. Compared with the dormitory next door, where they chatted passionately, this room was obviously too quiet.
After everyone saw the legendary current school grass of Feige University, they consciously sat up from their chairs or beds, and called seniors one after another. There was quite a commotion.
He Ling was very friendly to the students: “We are the student council of our college, my name is He Ling, and he is Jiang Xuan. If you have any questions during the military training, you can contact us or Teacher Yu. You’re all here, right? Let’s check the list now.”
Jiang Xuan stood aside without saying a word, He Ling read the names of five people, and when Lin Zimao didn’t respond, Wang Yi explained for him. He pointed to the upper bunk: “He’s not feeling well. He has a cold, and just fell asleep.”
He Ling was a little worried: “Is it serious? Did he take his medicine?”
Wang Yi shook his head and said: “Fell asleep after taking a shower, it seems that he didn’t eat, saying he’ll be fine after sleeping.”
Jiang Xuan looked at the upper bunk pointed by Wang Yi. Only half of his head and the raised quilt were seen, and then he looked at the familiar backpack next to him. It should be no one else except for Lin Zimao. Jiang Xuan didn’t expect him to be in the mecha maintenance class two, but it’s not surprising either.
He didn’t see Lin Zimao when he went out in the afternoon; Jiang Xuan later found out that he left without even saying goodbye.
He Ling said: “Now is the change of seasons, so everyone should pay more attention to the body. Please try to take care of the weak students. I’ll see if there’s any cold medicine, and bring some here.”
Jiang Xuan thought of Lin Zimao’s statement that he used immunity to resist the virus, and said to He Ling: “I’ll go.”
Lin Zimao didn’t take the medicine, which means he didn’t take it with him, Jiang Xuan simply went back to get his medication.
He Ling would like to go with Jiang Xuan, but there is still a female dormitory to check. She can’t leave. It’s a pity.
The student council provided a special school bus for pick-up and drop-off. After Jiang Xuan left the military training base on the flying school bus, he went straight home. He found the cold medicine, brought back from the hospital in the morning, on the bar in the living room. Lin Zimao really didn’t take it with him.
In less than an hour, Jiang Xuan sent the medicine back to Lin Zimao’s dormitory, and handed it over to Wang Yi: “Give this medicine to Lin Zimao and tell him to take it on time.”
Wang Yi thought it was cold medicine he got from school: “Thank you senior, I will tell him to eat when he wakes up.”
After Jiang Xuan left, Wang Yi found that a certain community hospital was written on the bag containing the medicine, but he didn’t think much about it. He thought the senior just got a random bag to put the medicine in.
Lin Zimao didn’t sleep for long. His nose was stuffy and he was woken up by Wang Yi at half past seven in the evening.
“Lin Zimao, wake up. Teacher just said in the group chat that we have to go to the assembly to meet the instructor now.”
Lin Zimao sat up holding the army-green quilt, feeling a dull pain in his temples. He felt even more uncomfortable after sleeping.
Wang Yi said: “The senior brought you medicine. If you feel sick, take some.”
Lin Zimao pulled back the quilt, his nasal voice became heavier: “What senior?”
Wang Yi told him about He Ling and Jiang Xuan’s arrival, but Wang Yi didn’t have time to mention Jiang Xuan’s name. Lin Zimao climbed down from the upper bunk; opened the paper bag Wang Yi handed him; and saw a certain community hospital written on the medicine bag, which was very familiar to him.
He took the medicine with mineral water.
Isn’t this the one he went to this morning?
However, he was dizzy and didn’t think much about it. He followed everyone downstairs to line up for the rendezvous.
The big playground is as bright as daylight. All the lights in the training base are turned on, which makes people pale, and somewhat unreal. There’s no need to worry about not being able to see people clearly.
The supervisor in charge of the new student military training used a giant loudspeaker to ask everyone to line up according to the college and class, so as not to be disorderly.
After a moment of confusion, everyone found their own class and slowly settled down.
Immediately after that, a uniformed instructor entered the venue. It’s not formal training, just that the instructor wants to meet the students first.
Lin Zimao and Wang Yi stood together. The team was arranged randomly.
Two instructors were assigned to them. The narrow-waisted military uniforms brought out their good figures, and they are full of energy.
The instructors are all young people from the Army Corps, some are as old as them.
The two instructors arranged the positions for their class. More than thirty people lined up in four rows. There are a few girls in their class, and the instructors moved two boys to the first row to stand with them.
He didn’t know if it was because he came out to breathe fresh air or because took medicine, but Lin Zimao’s head was not so heavy anymore.
He stood in the fourth row. Wang Yi, who was on his right, was about the same height as him, but Wang Yi was bigger.
As soon as they lined up, there were two people standing next to their mecha maintenance class two. The female gave the instructors a list.
The people who came are Jiang Xuan and He Ling of the Mecha Academy Student Council.
Lin Zimao almost thought that there was something wrong with his eyes. He seemed to see Jiang Xuan. He thought he would see him only half a month later.
Jiang Xuan didn’t send that medicine, did he?
He wanted to be a little grateful, but when he thought of the basic rules, this gratitude completely disappeared5蕩然無存 (dàng rán wú cún): to completely disappear or be destroyed and no longer exist; to obliterate completely; to vanish from the face of the earth., Lin Zimao’s eyes gently moved away from Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan happened to sweep towards Lin Zimao at this time, and the halogen lights on the training ground made his face even whiter, as if he would faint at any moment.
He Ling wanted to say something to Jiang Xuan, but she found that the school grass was not as cold as usual. He was still cold and barely speaking, with not even a smile on his face. He just stood upright like a pine and cypress.
Finally, she thought of something to talk about: “The cold medicine for the new student just now, did you send it? If not, I’ll go get the medicine, and let him take it back to eat later.”
Jiang Xuan said without emotion: “Already sent.”
He Ling wants to continue to break the silence between them: “How is that student doing now?”
Jiang Xuan said: “Not clear.” Lin Zimao’s face is quite pale.
After that, the topic can’t go on.
There was a gust of wind blowing around the two of them. He Ling felt a little cold for no reason. It was probably because it rained a little in the evening.
The time for instructors to meet the new student is only one hour. After nine o’clock, the new students were released to go back to rest. Tomorrow is the first day of military training.
After the dismissal, everyone went to the temporary dormitory building.
Lin Zimao waited for the crowd to disperse before slowly walking towards the dormitory building. Unfortunately, he saw Jiang Xuan again; this time standing next to him was not a senior sister, but an unfamiliar face. That person was smiling at Jiang Xuan. Lin Zimao walked forward and saw his face clearly.
It turned out to be Cheng Chen. he had glanced at his photo on the forum, he was tall enough to stand with Jiang Xuan, half a head shorter than Jiang Xuan.
Wang Yi patted Lin Zimao’s shoulder: “Are you okay?”
Lin Zimao shook his head: “Maybe because I took the medicine. I’m fine now, I can fight too.”
Wang Yi sized him up: “You’re definitely not good at fighting, but I can.”
Lin Zimao said: “Okay, if there is a fight, then you can go ahead of me.”
Lin Zimao, who was in better spirits, was more than happy to talk to Wang Yi. He didn’t pay attention to who Jiang Xuan was chatting happily with.
***
Jiang Xuan didn’t chat with anyone. It was Cheng Chen who happened to meet him and said a few words to him.
Cheng Chen was very happy to see him in the base. He was full of thoughts about taking advantage of the military training to get closer to Jiang Xuan. He missed a year for college preparation, so he wants to speed up his progress and obtain Jiang Xuan.
He said with regret: “Brother Jiang Xuan, it would be great if you were in charge of our class, right?” He can see the person everyday.
Jiang Xuan said: “It’s all the same.” He raised his eyes and watched the new students swarm to the dormitory. In the blink of an eye, Lin Zimao, who was still in line just now, disappeared.
Cheng Chen curiously asked him: “Do you live at home or live here like us?”
Jiang Xuan didn’t hide it: “Stay here when on duty, stay at home when not on duty.”
Cheng Chen is excited: “When are you on duty then?”
Jiang Xuan opened the folder in his hand and took a look: “The night after tomorrow.”
Cheng Chen began to think about how to have a tryst with Jiang Xuan under the moon.
Jiang Xuan has been busy all day, he talked too much today, his throat feels uncomfortable, he left the military training base directly after separating from Cheng Chen.
After returning home, Jiaoyan meowed at him and rubbed against his legs.
Jiang Xuan squatted down and scratched its chin. Jiaoyan purred and fell down comfortably on the carpet. It stretched its limbs and let Jiang Xuan rub his belly.
Jiang Xuan tapped its belly with his fingertip. It felt good. He then put his palm on its belly and rubbed it. The fur is quite soft.
***
It is the first day on campus, and the new students are still peaceful. They didn’t make any trouble the first night.
Perhaps due to the effect of the medicine, when Lin Zimao got up in the morning, his cold was much better.
When he got up early in the morning, he was asked to go for a morning run according to the school’s arrangement. After running a few laps, his whole body was full of sweat, and the whole person felt much lighter.
Wang Yi was panting like a cow, gasping for breath: “I didn’t exercise at all during the summer vacation. Suddenly I have to run, and it feels a little uncomfortable. Why are you still fine?”
Lin Zimao looked at some of the higher number students in their dormitory. They are all too weak. Guo Xingwei and others who didn’t deal with him were so tired that they put their hands on their knees and gasped for breath.
Lin Zimao smiled and said: “It’s your poor physique.” The feeling of running is very comfortable; it is the breath of freedom. He puts his hand on his forehead and looks at the sun. It’s still a sweet ball, the weather should be fine today.
When Jiang Xuan walked over, he heard Lin Zimao speak with a nasal voice. With a special sense of adolescence, the young man under the morning sun has a unique kind of look on his brows and eyes.
Seeing Jiang Xuan approaching, the eyes of the female students lit up. They shouted no matter how tired they were: “Senior Jiang Xuan!”
Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, as a response to them.
Lin Zimao turned his head and looked at Jiang Xuan, who was wearing a dark blue T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He is more youthful than in his shirt, his face is still the same, handsome as ever, and his frozen temperament is still the same.
Seeing that Jiang Xuan’s eyes fell on this side, the two looked at each other. He quickly averted his eyes. Since they agreed not to disclose the relationship between the two, then they will be strangers.
The instructors let the new students take a breather before starting the morning training.
He Ling just came over. She stood beside Jiang Xuan, and her fascinated gaze fell on him.
She had an unexpected discovery today. Jiang Xuan usually dresses neatly and cleanly. He rarely wears clothes with accessories, but today is a little different.
He Ling asked him curiously: “Where did you buy this T-shirt, is the style with fur popular now?”
Jiang Xuan looked down at the layer of grey and white cat fur covering his shoulders: “…”
When he was watching the news on the sofa in the morning, Jiaoyan lay on the edge of the sofa behind him and rubbed his head on his shoulder.
Go back and shave its hair.
He glanced at Lin Zimao, who was full of energy in the team just now, but now was a bit lazy. He doesn’t know if he will agree or not.
The author has something to say:
Jiaoyan: I disagree!
