It was raining heavily. Droplets of rain hit the gla.s.s window with a rhythm.
"Crash."
A clap of thunder once again broke through the night sky.
Xiao Jing sat up. The room was very dark. Lightning flashed, s.h.i.+ning on her face. Her hand gently pulled at the quilt on the bed.
She lowered her voice and whispered, "Captain, are you asleep?"
The room was quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After Xiao Jing confirmed that the man in the bed had fallen asleep, she carefully climbed up the bed. She curled up her body and leaned against the bed. She gently pulled a pillow and stuffed it under her head.
"Crash."
Thunder rumbled again, and lightning flashed across the bed.
The corner of Shen Chengfeng"s eyes slanted to the side as he silently stared at the small figure lying beside him. She tried her best not to come over. It was just that she seemed to have forgotten her restraints after falling asleep and her hands and feet involuntarily loosened.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Shen Chengfeng was quick to grab hold of her almost falling body. His eyebrows were knitted tightly together as he carried her back.
"Captain, I didn"t go to bed."
Xiao Jing rolled her body as she mumbled to herself.
Shen Chengfeng stared at the mumbling body and s.h.i.+fted his position.
Xiao Jing hugged the pillow to her chest as if she was laughing, "Chicken legs, duck legs, chicken wings, duck wings, meat, and meat."
Shen Chengfeng"s head landed on the bed and he closed his eyes, allowing the unscrupulous person to carry all the pillows and blankets over.
Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier, rattling against the gla.s.s like beads.
5 AM in the morning, the bugle sounded.
After a night of heavy rain, the entire field was wet and slippery.
When Xiao Jing heard the horn, she reflexively got up from the bed and started to fumble for her clothes. She didn"t care if it was her own clothes or not and forcefully slipped it inside. She didn"t even open her eyes and rushed out of the dormitory door.
When Shen Chengfeng heard the door close, he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He touched the side of the bed and found that it was empty. Where were his clothes?
The morning breeze was somewhat chilly, and everyone stood side by side.
One by one, Qi Yue made his rounds before finally stopping in front of Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing raised her head and straightened her chest.
Qi Yue examined him from above and frowned. "What are you wearing?"
Xiao Jing lowered her head. She originally wanted to reply, but of course, it was a military uniform. However, upon closer inspection, it was as if a bolt of lightning landed heavily on her head.
Hehe, could this be the legendary military uniform of the captain, with the glittering aura of a general?
It was big and loose. No wonder he felt like there was a slight leak in the morning.
"This seems to be the captain"s clothes."
Qi Yue turned his collar and said something.
As soon as he said that, everyone on the field turned to look at him.
Jiang Xin whispered, "Captain"s clothes?"
Mu Xi Chi repeated, "It"s really the captain"s clothes."
Cheng Chen was stunned, "Why is the captain wearing Little Eighteen"s clothes?"
Jin Shan a.n.a.lyzed, "Did they sleep together last night?"
"They did sleep together last night."
Xiao Jing blinked, feeling a little awkward. Should she say something to dissolve this strange atmosphere?
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Lian Qing grabbed his pants and scrambled to finally run to the field.
In the end, he thought he would be very handsome, but unexpectedly, his pants s.h.i.+fted to the side and he stepped on it with his right foot. He successfully tripped himself up and rolled down the stairs, his face towards the ground as he chewed on the mud.
Xiao Jing was full of tears as she stared at her former captain. Only someone like her would be able to attract everyone"s attention.
Lian Qing sat up and patted the dirt on his face. With a bitter smile, he said: "Am I too late?"
Qi Yue helped him up and said with a smile, "It"s not too late, it"s just right."
Lian Qing"s heart was a little weak. Why do I feel that his smile is malicious?
"We"re all here now, let"s begin the morning cla.s.s. 30 kilograms will be carried across the country."
Qi Yue"s gaze fell on Lian Qing, who had arrived late, and added, "According to the rules, the last person doesn"t have any food."
Lian Qing"s center of gravity was not stable and he nearly fell to the ground once again. The corner of his mouth slightly twitched. "I"m just here to interact at any rate. I don"t need to treat everyone equally, right?"
Qi Yue shook his head. "Our Special Forces"s rules are always the same. It must be hard on you, captain."
Xiao Jing intentionally handed over the backpack, without any hesitation, she directly put it on his back.
Lian Qing suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, causing him to be unable to move an inch.
Xiao Jing waved at his backward figure and shouted, "Captain, I will wait for you at the end of the road while looking at the scenery."
Lian Qing panted as he ran out of the camp. Looking at the disappearing group of people, he pursed his lips. Where was the supposed friends.h.i.+p between the wind and the rain?
Didn"t they say they would stay and not give up on fighting together?
After a night of heavy rain, the forest trail was slippery and muddy.
Xiao Jing sat on a rock with insufficient strength. She looked at the captain, who was still struggling with his hands and feet at the foot of the mountain, and unhurriedly took out a compressed biscuit.
Panting heavily, Lian Qing raised his head and looked at the small figure who was happily eating. With a breath of air, he climbed up the mountain with great difficulty.
Xiao Jing patted off the biscuit crumbs on her hands and smiled. "Captain, I won"t be waiting for you. You can rest for a while. I"ll be leaving first."
"Wait."
Lian Qing used both of his hands to pull on Xiao Jing"s clothes.
Xiao Jing opened his hand and frowned, "If you want to talk, then talk. Why are you stripping my clothes off?"
Lian Qing pointed at the biscuit bag on the floor, "You"re so heartless to eat alone?"
"How can a bag of crackers be considered a solo treat when everyone is handing out a bag of crackers before they leave?
This should be my breakfast. "
Xiao Jing said righteously with her hands on her hips.
Lian Qing frowned and asked in surprise, "Why don"t I?"
"As the punishment of the last place, you really didn"t."
Xiao Jing let out a long sigh and solemnly patted Lian Qing"s shoulder. She spoke in a carefree manner, "Captain, if you fall behind in your weight-bearing training later, I"m afraid you won"t even have a chance to eat lunch."
"I"m a guest, so I shouldn"t use your special team"s rules to ask me, a new player, to learn how to practice."
"But our Special Forces rules don"t distinguish between the inside and the outside. Once we enter this door, we"ll have to follow Captain Shen"s rules. I forget to say, his rules are always unpredictable. Who knows when they might change? You …"
"Do your best."
Xiao Jing picked up her backpack and nimbly dashed into the forest.
Only Lian Qing was left to think about life in the wind.
He crouched down and rummaged through the biscuit bag on the floor. After making sure that not even a crumb was left, he rested one hand on his cheek. Why did he not understand why there was no time to enjoy himself in the 525th group?
Looking for excitement?
It was indeed exciting.
Hahaha, tears streaming down his face.
At the peak of the mountain, the autumn wind was blowing.
Just as Xiao Jing climbed up the mountain, she suddenly felt the strange atmosphere.
She purposely slowed down her footsteps, and a cuckoo sang a small song as it flew past the tree branches with a quiver. Leaves fell from the tree and swirled around, covering the ground.
Rustle.
Footsteps could be heard silently coming towards her.
Xiao Jing turned her head around and unhesitatingly threw a fist.
"Little Eighteen, it"s me. It"s me."
Jiang Xin had a smile on his face that he thought was friendly. He said, "We"ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Jing looked at the three people who appeared out of nowhere and frowned. She asked, "What are you waiting for me for?"
Cheng Chen coughed lightly as he covered his mouth. He pointed at Xiao Jing"s clothes and went straight to the point, "This seems to be the captain"s clothes."
Xiao Jing embarra.s.sedly took a step back, deliberately keeping her distance. She spoke in a slurred tone, "She probably picked it up wrongly in the water room."
"No, no, no. Little Eighteen, you don"t understand our captain"s perverted cleanliness. Don"t say that his clothes won"t be tossed around with us, let alone wearing them, we can"t even touch all of his things."
Jiang Xin said.
Xiao Jing continued to retreat guiltily before saying, "Why are you guys telling me all this?"
I"ll get him back when I"ve washed up. "
"Don"t you understand what we"re implying?"
Mu Xichi raised his head proudly, "Did you sleep with the captain last night?"
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment. Why did she feel that his words were a bit ambiguous?
Mu Xi Chi took a step forward and bent down to smell it carefully.
Xiao Jing turned her head. She felt that she had a slight chance of winning against one person, but after one versus three, she still chose to obediently hold back.
Mu Xi Chi crossed her hands around her chest and said confidently: "This is the scent of a captain. I"m sure that this outfit had been worn by the captain all along, you were the one who suddenly s.n.a.t.c.hed it over and wore it."
"Grab them and wear them?"
Cheng Chen was shocked. He looked at Xiao Jing with a face full of wors.h.i.+p as he said, "Xiao Eighteen, aren"t you afraid that the captain will mercilessly kill you without leaving any remains behind?"
"Cheng Chen, you"re wrong. He"s not afraid of the captain touching him."
Jiang Xin said.
Cheng Chen was enlightened, "That"s right, so you willfully stole the captain"s clothes?"
"I didn"t rob him. I accidentally picked it up wrongly. How can I tell if it"s my clothes or his when it"s dark in the room?"
Xiao Jing blurted out, and suddenly covered her mouth.
Three pairs of eyes landed on her thin body at the same time. They were like HD video cameras, illuminating all of her pores.
"Pfft, I was wrong. It was pitch black when I took the clothes from the washroom, so I couldn"t see it clearly."
Xiao Jing tried to explain.
Jiang Xin gently patted him on the shoulder and sighed. "Don"t try to find excuses. The vice-captain has already told us. It"s been hard on you these past few days, Xiao Eighteen."
"That"s right, the captain"s mood is uncertain and his entire being is rather sullen. Sleeping with him, I"m afraid he might be suppressed by ghosts."
Cheng Chen could not help but sigh.
"What"s wrong with him? He just slept for an entire night and he already took away the captain"s clothes. Who knows, he might have to strip off the captain"s pants tomorrow."
Mu Xi Chi continued to look proudly at the sky.
Xiao Jing didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as she stared at the three singing and singing. She bitterly smiled and said, "It"s really not what you guys think. I slept on the floor. Captain wants me to sleep on the floor. What can I do?"
"I feel worse than anyone else."
"Little Eighteen, don"t say anymore. We understand."
Jiang Xin leaned close to Xiao Jing"s ear and said in a hushed tone, "I didn"t think so before. Now that I have a closer look, I suddenly realized that you and the captain are pretty compatible. Hahaha."
Cheng Chen also moved closer and laid on the other side of Xiao Jing, saying, "Jiang Xin"s words are reasonable. Before this, I didn"t think they were appropriate. In this world, only you would dare to touch the captain"s skin. How about it, is it smooth and smooth?"
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but nod. She had a very good sense of touch. His skin was very smooth because it had always been closed off. It was as if he had touched ice. Although it was a bit cold, it didn"t have any flaws.
Wait, what did she just nod her head for?
Xiao Jing stiffly lifted her neck and looked at Jiang Xin and Cheng Chen, who were communicating intensely with their eyes. She thought that they must have misunderstood. She thought too much and heard wrong.
"Alright, we"ve delayed quite a bit of time. Let"s continue."
Jiang Xin picked up the backpack and looked at Cheng Chen with raised eyebrows. The two of them left at the same time with a mutual understanding.
Mu Xi Chi continued to clasp her hands together as she coldly glared at her.
Xiao Jing carefully walked over.
Mu Xi Chi grabbed her hand, raised her head high up, and said in a serious tone: "Be nicer to the captain in the future."
Xiao Jing staggered and almost kneeled on the ground.
Mu Xi clenched her fists. "You"d better take care of yourself."
Xiao Jing stood where she was, stunned. She looked at the three people who had disappeared in the blink of an eye. She felt as if she had been stuck in her throat. Why were all of them speaking incoherently? Did they think incorrectly?
"Xiao Jing."
The abrupt voice of a man came from the quiet forest.
Xiao Jing instinctively turned around and looked at Lin Qi, who stood motionlessly in his original position. Puzzled, she walked over and deliberately squatted down a little to see him with his head lowered.
Lin Qi took a deep breath. Although his entire body appeared very relaxed, his hand couldn"t help but clench into a fist.
Xiao Jing didn"t understand why he suddenly became like this. She whispered, "What happened?"
Lin Qi shook his head, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he felt uncomfortable. But when he saw that smiling face right in front of him, his fist slowly relaxed, and he sighed, "It"s nothing."
Xiao Jing opened her back, took out her hidden biscuits, and handed them to Lin Qi with a smile. "It was almost taken by my former captain. Fortunately, I know he only likes to search his pockets, so I left them for you. Eat some."
Lin Qi quietly looked at the biscuit bag in front of him, and the uneasiness in his heart instantly vanished. He smiled honestly and said, "I also left something for you."
Xiao Jing looked up, hoping for him to bring her something. When she saw him take out the apple from his bag, she almost immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed it over.
Lin Qi smiled and said, "I"ve read about you. You like eating apples very much."
Xiao Jing nodded. She wiped the apple on her clothes and bit into it. The apple juice filled her mouth. She smiled and said, "Where did you get this apple from?"
"There"s a tree over there. If you want to eat it in the future, tell me. I"ll go pick it for you."
Xiao Jing raised her hand and placed it on Lin Qi"s shoulder. She raised her head and laughed. "Good comrade, take a bite as well."
Lin Qi looked at the hand he handed over, and bit into it shyly, "So sweet."
"Let"s go, we"re falling behind."
Just like that, Xiao Jing put her arm around Lin Qi"s shoulders and walked down the mountain side by side.
At the camp"s guard tower, Shen Chengfeng put down his binoculars without saying a word.
Behind him, the guard in charge of the sentry didn"t dare to make a sound, and carefully controlled his breathing.
Shen Chengfeng jumped down from the tower and looked at the people returning to camp one after another. He did not say a word.
"Captain."
Everyone stood in a straight line with their heads held high and their chests puffed up as they faced the flag that was flying high in the sky.
Shen Chengfeng was unperturbed as he stared at the two figures that gradually entered his line of sight. The two of them were chatting happily with their arms around each other"s shoulders.
"Captain."
Xiao Jing"s gaze landed squarely on Shen Chengfeng. Fortunately, he was not so weak as to wear his own clothes to attract attention.
"You two have three hundred push-ups, and the rest of you are disbanded for dinner."
Shen Chengfeng"s voice carried an unquestionable power as it reverberated around the field.
Xiao Jing"s expression turned to fear, but she didn"t dare to question the captain"s orders. She obediently put down her backpack and laid on the ground.
Shen Chengfeng was still standing in front of her without moving. He stared at Xiao Jing, who had completed her task with high quality.
Xiao Jing felt weak in her heart. Her eyes stared fixedly at the boots in her line of sight. In her heart, she wasn"t sure if this man"s tendons were wrong, but just to be safe, she had to keep quiet.
"Do you know why I punished the two of you?"
Shen Chengfeng broke the silence.
Xiao Jing finished her push-ups. She stood up and shook her head, "I don"t know."
"I planted the apple tree on the back hill."
The man"s cold voice rang out without any warmth.
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched.
Lin Qi took a step forward, "Captain, it was my own fault. It had nothing to do with Second Lieutenant Xiao."
"She ate it."
Xiao Jing covered her mouth, hesitating whether she should throw up and return it to this stingy general.
"Is it good?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
After hesitating, Xiao Jing nodded.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Jing grinned and continued to show her signature smile. She said, "Captain, it"s a baton."
