Chapter 77

In the blink of an eye, more than half the time of military training has passed.

They are all about the same age. Just by chatting during the military training break, most of the students in the class have become familiar with them and become friends, except for Xu Qichen, who is a loner.

It seems that Xia Zhixu is the only link between him and the class.

When Xia Zhixu is ready to run to Xu Qichen again to wring a water cup for him, Chen Fang finally catches him.

"What are you doing all day." Chen Fang put him down, Xia Zhixu hit him on his back, and his hat overturned.

"Nothing." Xia Zhixu sat up, patted the grass on his head and put on his hat.

"Fart, I've seen it. As soon as you're free, go to Xu Qichen. I didn't find that you are such a warm-hearted person before." Chen Fang bumps Xia Zhixu's arm.

"I am." Xia Zhixu is too lazy to explain, "or my friend, how can I be so popular?"

"Come on, I haven't seen you pay so much attention to any girl. What's the matter? You owe Xu Qichen money. " Chen Fang took a pat on his chest and said, "how much do you owe? I'll pay back the change for you!"

Xia Zhixu gave him a look and pulled a piece of grass from the ground. "I just think he's good." He thought about how to explain to Chen Fang, "it feels as if he has experienced something bad and wants to help him."

Chen Fang reached out and touched Xia Zhixu's left chest, "come on, let me touch our little sun's conscience." Xia Zhixu slapped his hand and said, "go away! Less disgusting. "

After making trouble for a long time, Xia Zhixu turned his eyes to Xu Qichen. The other side was still looking at the distant sky, and his face was full of thoughts.

As soon as the break time passed, the instructor did not put himself into the training as quickly as before. Instead, he gathered in a whole team and made two turns around the square array of class 13. He said with his hands behind his back, "the day after tomorrow is the military training show. Every class has to show the results of military training. The number of people in your class is not suitable, one more."

A boy's voice suddenly appeared in the square array. It was Li Ming, who was always active and fond of GAGs. "Report to the instructor, I have a way."

"What can I do?"

"Let Xu Qichen don't go on the stage. Other people's classes are neat. It's obvious that our class has one more one with his arm hanging. It's just neat."

That's not a good thing to say, but it's true.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the students in the class began to whisper.

"I don't think it's good..."

"He's practicing very seriously."

"But it's obvious."

Xia Zhixu looked at the boy in front of him and hung his head down. He immediately raised his hand. "Instructor, I think I can choose a classmate to be a model in front of me, just like the conductor of an orchestra. Isn't there not much left? And I don't think it's a bad thing to have the wounded. Doesn't it seem that our class is particularly persistent? "

"It makes sense..."

"Yes, I support Xia Zhixu."

During the discussion, Xu Qichen said, "instructor Yang, get rid of me." He came out from the team, "I stand inside, and it will be very conspicuous when I show it, which will destroy the beauty of the square array. I think it's better to remove me."

Xia Zhixu frowned and wanted to open his mouth, but he was interrupted by the instructor, "let's do it first." He turned to Xu Qichen and said, "originally you are also a wounded person. You have practiced very seriously these days. Let's have a rest."

Xu Qichen nodded, stepped back and sat on the ground.

He didn't have any regretful expression, still the same, can't see happy or sad.

But Xia Zhixu was very sad, as if the person who was forced to leave his class was himself.

The next day, Xu Qichen still arrived at the stadium on time and participated in the first running and basic training. When it came to the square training, he left the team consciously and sat alone watching the training.

Xia Zhixu is not so normal. After he went home, he always thought about the square array display. He couldn't sleep all night. He got up early in the morning and was in a bad mood.

When training, I couldn't control my eyes. I always couldn't help looking in the direction of Xu Qichen. As soon as I didn't pay attention, I took the wrong step and was taught by the instructor, "Xia Zhixu! What's the matter with you? You can't even catch up with the wounded

Xia Zhixu yelled a few words of sorry to the instructor. When he continued to train, he suddenly thought of something. He glanced at the boys in the same row. After a few steps, he began to stagger with others. In the end, he turned into one hand and one foot.

"Xia Zhixu! Stop it for me

He was named by the instructor and stood still, his face grand.

The instructor came up to him and said, "what's the matter with you?"

Xia Zhixu said weakly, "I fell at home last night. Maybe I hit my cerebellum Today, I always feel that my limbs are not in harmony... "Instructor Yang glared at him: "you think I'm a three-year-old! Get down! Hold your head! Give me the frog jump from here to the opposite goal, and then jump back! "

In such a big stadium, the whole class took a breath of frog leaping back and forth between two goals. Xia Zhixu didn't have much to do. He squatted down directly and started frog leaping facing the opposite goal.

The more the instructor thought about it, the more angry he was. "Don't practice any more. Look at other people's classes and see how they practice. When you lift your arms, they are all in a straight line. You are still turning in a straight line, turning in a slow way, and taking a slow half. Just wait to get the first from the bottom and return to the key class! Shame or not

"Instructor, there are people in other classes who are doing demonstrations in front of us. Can't we get one?"

"Yes, sometimes when I'm nervous, I can't figure out the situation. Someone is in front of me and yells slogans by the way..."

The students all began to agree.

"Come on! Shut up. " Instructor Yang walked back and forth two steps, "Committee of physical education, you stand in the front, remember to shout slogans. If you don't practice well, you'll do the same as Xia Zhixu

Originally thought that there was nothing to do with frog leaping, but without 100 meters, Xia Zhixu's thighs began to ache. He was just about to look back, and was caught on the spot by the instructor: "what are you looking at! Do you want another round? "

Xia Zhixu immediately turned his head, put his hands on the back of his head, and continued to jump forward.

A playground was assigned to more than ten classes, and Xia Zhixu danced through the whole playground, surrounded by girls from all classes.

"Isn't this the boy who spoke on behalf of the freshmen?"

"Really, it's nice to see it close to you..."

What a shame. Xia Zhixu lowered his head, sighed helplessly, pretended that he couldn't hear anything, and jumped forward with his head depressed and teeth clenched. He finally jumped to the front of the goal. Xia Zhixu just wanted to stand up, and heard the instructor yelling at him from a distance: "don't stand up! Squat and turn around

Are you the devil? Xia Zhixu's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his legs were sour and swollen, as if they were filled with lead. He had to store his strength for a long time every step.

The square array of class 13 began to get on the right track and became orderly. I don't know whether it was because of the demonstration by the Sports Commission or the instructor's warning effect on Xia Zhixu that everyone became a lot more honest.

Seeing the sports committee standing in the front and the square array in the back, Xia Zhixu feels uncomfortable. His original intention is to let Xu Qichen return to the square array.

But now, if I lose my wife, I will lose my soldiers. He leaped back and forth for nothing, but Xu Qichen couldn't go back to the square.

What a demonstration. Xia Zhixu's heart is extremely unbalanced. He jumps forward again after biting his teeth. He is really tired and has no strength.

He looked down at his leg, and it began to tremble.

Looking up dejectedly, he found that Xu Qichen, who was sitting facing the class square, turned around.

Face yourself.

His eyes were shadowed by the brim of his hat. He couldn't see his face clearly. He stood up with his legs and stepped on the grass. His injured left hand was on his knee and looked in the direction of the goal.

Like a good pupil.

Xia Zhixu holds his neck in both hands and looks at Xu Qichen one or two hundred meters away. Their eyes are opposite for a few seconds. Xu Qichen tilts his head.

Although his expression remained unchanged, Xia Zhixu felt as if he was saying something to himself.

Come here.

I don't know where the last bit of strength came from, and it poured into my body. Ear is each class "one two one" shouting slogans, mixed with the air friction nose brought about by the buzz. Xia Zhixu lowered his head and jumped forward in silence.

He didn't look at Xu Qichen, and he didn't know why.

Let's see.

One more jump.

The distance is shortened at every moment of landing.

Until a pair of white ankles emerged from the camouflage trouser legs in the narrow view under the brim, as well as half new sports shoes.

Lift the heavy body slightly.

Riveted enough strength, jump again.

In the opposite direction, he wiped his shoulder for a moment, and heard a little inaudible words.

"Hard work."

The tone was flat and mild.

Xia Zhixu stopped. His legs were as stiff and sour as if they were rooted in the lawn.

But a heart is beating all the time.

The sequelae of frog leaping hundreds of times is too strong.

Xia Zhixu, who had accepted the punishment, could finally stand up with the permission of the instructor, but he didn't have any strength on his legs. He couldn't lift and put down his legs. He reluctantly returned to the team, and at the end, he couldn't walk fast, let alone run.

"I've just made the square a little better. It's useless as soon as you go in." The instructor pulled him out, "don't take part in the exhibition, stand on one side."After Xia Zhixu was picked out, the instructor walked around the square array with his hands on his back. "Xia Zhixu was deprived of the qualification to participate in the exhibition. This is a punishment for him. After a week of hard work, you all hope to get a good place, so now give me a good practice! Practice until I make no mistakes! Do you understand? "

"I understand!"

So it was returned. Xia Zhixu stood on one side and looked at the square.

He turned his face and saw Xu Qichen sitting on one side. He also looked at the square array.

There was a sudden sense of pleasure in him.

Although Xu Qichen was not able to participate in the square array exhibition in the end, he could not participate either, so that he could accompany him and not leave him alone.

Thinking about this, Xia Zhixu quietly moved to Xu Qichen's side step by step, looked down at his head, and sighed deliberately.

"We are really in the same boat."

Xu Qichen looked up at him.

The angle of overlooking makes him look very small. His eyes are slightly narrowed, which makes him feel happy.

It's like seeing a very beautiful snow-white kitten on the side of the road. I can't help but want someone to touch his head.

Xu Qichen soon lowered his head, "No."

"What did you say?"

"I was forced, you were on purpose."

Don't think I can't see it.

Xia Zhixu, who was punished for standing in the army, was stunned and suddenly felt that his legs were not so uncomfortable.

"Who said, I just fell on my cerebellum."

Sophistry is also very happy.

On the day of the exhibition, the square array of one class after another was arranged on the playground, passing through the auditorium in order, and returning to the playground after completing a series of actions.

Xia Zhixu and Xu Qichen, two abandoned people, stand at the back of the class matrix across two rows of distance, and the instructor of each class stands at the front of the class.

Finally, when class 13 came on, Xia Zhixu looked at his class's square array on the track, and felt some regret.

Maybe he is more sorry than himself. Xia Zhixu looked at Xu Qichen beside him. He was looking at the class square array with bright eyes.

Two people were left alone in the original class stand on the vacancy, very eye-catching.

The girls in the next class began to talk.

"Class 13 is to average the appearance of the whole class. Have you kicked out the good-looking ones?"

"What kind of selection is this? It's so funny."

"Don't you see one injured? Maybe I can't do it. "

"What about the other one? It's not hurt. It's hard to be an escort. "

"Well? Isn't this the little brother that the freshman represents? Have a good look... "

"I like white skin and pretty skin."

……

Xia Zhixu has been used to this kind of discussion. I don't know what Xu Qichen thinks.

Originally, it was better to turn a deaf ear. Unexpectedly, I heard another sentence.

"I think they are a good match."

Thunder on the ground.

Xia Zhixu turns his head and takes a look at the more and more active girl line. These girls who are burning the heart of rotten women just shut up.

What's the match? It's really

Can't help but want to side head, want to see what reaction Xu Qichen will be, but his eyes are still staring at the class square, chin also with their walking slowly moving.

No response at all.

He's in a complicated mood now. He can't say whether he's happy or not. In a word, he's a little stuffy. When class 13 finished the exhibition and was ready to return to the original place, he suddenly heard Xu Qichen speak.

"Thank you for being with me."

The sweet scented osmanthus in the campus is blooming, and the sweet fragrance is diffused by all means and becomes faint. All of a sudden, I was sent by the gentle autumn wind, and in a moment, I entered my heart with my breath.

"You're welcome."

There are so many beautiful things hidden in the details.

The seven day military training ended in this way. The process was very painful, but when it was disbanded for the last time, I felt reluctant to give up. Missing two people in class 13, finally got the third place.

"It's been a long time," Chen Fang said, holding Xia Zhixu's shoulder. "Ah, just now Lin Xinya asked us to sing tomorrow morning. Let me come and tell you." Seeing Xia Zhixu's lack of interest, Chen Fang shook him, "go, they mainly want to invite you. I'm all by the way. If you don't go, I'm sorry to follow you."

Xia Zhixu sighed. Lin Xinya is also one of the central figures in the class. She is very beautiful and has a good family background. During military training, many boys chat up with her and are popular among girls. But Xia Zhixu doesn't like such girls. In other words, he doesn't like any small group center.

As an object who is always paid too much attention to, Xia Zhixu always habitually evades the limelight, because as long as he appears in the public field of vision, he will be crowned with the word "limelight". He doesn't like to be taken as the center to support, and he doesn't like to form a camp subordinate to himself. Of course, he can't stop those who like to circle around him, so he can only try his best to avoid them in a euphemistic way.This is his rule of communication.

In a word, Xu Qichen is really the first friend he made on his own initiative.

"You have to say something. Are you going or not?"

If you don't go, you will be said to be too cold to see their party.

"Go, go."

The Communist Party of China will take a day off and waste it on useless social activities.

I don't know what Xu Qichen will do. With this in mind, Xia Zhixu's vision could not resist the impulse of automatic search. After looking in the crowd for a long time, he saw Xu Qichen who was about to walk out of the stadium.

Still the same, he seems to be alienated in the crowd, protected by a thin layer of color bubbles.

Xia Zhixu is about to leave, but Chen Fang grabs him by the arm. "You're not allowed to run ahead of time today. Go to my house to play games. My mother bought me a new game console. It's waiting for you before it's dismantled."

Looking at that more and more distant bubble, Xia Zhixu dropped his eyelids.

“…… All right

The next morning, Xia Zhixu, who had not had enough sleep, was called up by his mother, "Chen Fang is here, waiting for you in the living room."

Xia Zhixu struggled for a while with the quilt covered, thinking that he had already agreed to let Chen Fang go, so he had better stop.

As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I saw Chen Fang sitting in the living room, watching the morning news with his father.

"Oh, Mr. Ban Cao is up?"

Xia Zhixu droops his eyelids and takes off his slippers to make an appearance of hitting him.

"Ouch, I'm so angry when I get up. Uncle Xia helps me!"

Annoying guy. Xia Zhixu slouched out and was scolded by Chen Fang, "at least you can't dress up for the party."

Looking down at his black T-shirt and jeans, "I think it's great."

Chen Fang shook his head, "forget it, rotten wood can't be carved." He sat up from the sofa with a smile. "Uncle and aunt, let's go!"

"Be careful on the way," Xia's mother handed them a box of milk. "Zhixu, how many friends you have."

Xia Zhixu gave a perfunctory hum and followed Chen Fang downstairs.

"Where's your bike?"

Xia Zhixu pointed to the bicycle Pavilion downstairs, "there. Do you want to ride? "

Chen Fang bent over to lock his purple bike. "Of course, with such a good chance, maybe he can send some girl home." Xia Zhixu shakes his head and goes to the bicycle pavilion to find his black dead fly. They ride out of the community together.

"You say you're so cool. You can't take a girl without a backseat."

Xia Zhixu stepped on the pedal indifferently, "no, I can't take it."

Ten o'clock in the morning, between morning and noon, the air is fresh, the wind blowing on the body cool, with a slight moisture. Chen Fang kept talking in his ear. For a while, it was Lin Xinya. For a while, it was Xia Zhixu who didn't remember her name. He was so bored that he couldn't help choking him.

"You went to high school just to fall in love."

Chen Fang grabs the handlebar with one hand and pushes Xia Zhixu with the other hand. "Yo Yo, Xueba, Xueshen, please don't fall in love. Your high school is for learning."

Two people across a street, Xia Zhixu bored to look at both sides of the street, all kinds of shops bustling. I remember a bookstore was newly opened. He wanted to go in and have a look when he was decorating it.

Xia Zhi said with a smile, "I will not talk about it."

Unfortunately, I happened to pass by the bookstore. I couldn't help looking at it more. Through the beautiful floor glass window, I could see clumps of neat log bookshelves, fresh and elegant.

Chen Fang also grabbed him, "OK, if you talk about it, you're a son of a bitch."

"Son of a bitch, son of a bitch..." I forgot to say the rest.

He saw a familiar figure standing quietly in front of a row of bookshelves.

Slam to the brakes.

Chen Fang, who didn't respond, rode a long way to stop, then turned back and yelled, "why stop? Let's go

Xia Zhixu got out of the car and said, "what I, I suddenly remember that I always wanted to buy a book before, and I just went in to have a look. " He quickly took out the key and locked the car by the side of the road! Send me the address and I'll be right there! "

Chen Fang was at a loss about what books he was going to buy. He looked down at his watch, and it was late. When he looked up again, the figure of this guy was gone, so he could only scold him in a low voice for riding first.

Xu Qichen went out of the house before his aunt got up. First, he went to the breakfast shop at the gate of the community and ate a bowl of rice noodles. Then he walked slowly two streets and found the new bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore is a young man in his twenties. He has good taste and elegant decoration. As soon as he enters the bookstore, he will see sandalwood. Xu Qichen turned around and found a copy of xueluoxiangshan that he had always wanted to buy. After turning a few pages, he became fascinated and unconsciously stood there for an hour.This small bookstore is particularly quiet. The sunlight penetrates through the transparent glass, gently covers his back with a layer of warmth, and then leaks a little from his shoulder and sprinkles on the pages he is holding.

[character is one's destiny. ]

his eyes were fixed on the paragraph in the light, with great concentration.

[if it's my character, "she murmured," it's my destiny to fall in love with you. " ]

suddenly.

The sun on the page was blocked, and became a small ambiguous shadow. Once silent ear is occupied by music, is a flowing, he has never heard of piano music.

There's one more person on the shelf.

Xu Qichen, wearing headphones that he had inserted into his ears without authorization, turned back in a daze.

See his beautiful tiger teeth, that pair of transparent, clear black and white eyes reflect the muddled himself.

The sound of the piano is clean and clear, like a snowflake carried by the sea. But in front of this smile actually is wrapping the endless warmth.

"What a coincidence. Did you get a fright from me?"

Xia Zhixu smiles and tilts his head.

Coincidence. Destiny.

Xu Qichen took off a earphone and held it in his hand. The long white earphone cable extended into each other's blue jeans pocket.

"It's you."
