Having slept late the day before, Tao You was gloriously late for military training the next day.
I stuffed a few mouthfuls of bread into the dormitory and went out.
By the time she arrived at the playground, the military training had already begun for a while.
Tao You took a few deep breaths to calm down and ran to the team. She still knew the rules of military training: "Report." The voice was so low that even she couldn't hear it clearly, let alone the instructor.
At this time, all the classmates in the class looked at her. Tao You blushed, lowered his head, mustered up his courage, and said loudly: "Report."
This time the instructor heard her, put his hands behind his back, looked sternly, and turned his eyes towards her: "Come here!" His eyes were fierce.
Tao You trembled unconsciously, his heart pounding. When she moved in front of the instructor, before she could explain, the instructor started scolding her: "You are late on the first day of military training! Do you have a sense of time? After the training, add an hour to stand in military posture, plus a 1,000-word review, which will be handed in tomorrow. Go to your class teacher! Are you clear?"
It was the first time that Tao You was raped in front of so many people, and he was a classmate who would get along day and night from now on. He felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
He grasped both sides of his pants tightly with both hands, so hard that he trembled, and his strength seemed to tear his pants apart. She gritted her teeth, held back tears, and said weakly: "It's clear."
"Louder, I can't hear you!" the instructor said.
"Clear!" Tao You felt like he was shouting. She didn't dare to refute, it was her own fault this time, she admitted it.
"Report." At this time, a low and lazy male voice sounded.
Everyone looked over and their movements were uniform. Tao You is no exception.
The same style is ordinary, but the material is not good at first glance. The baggy military training uniform worn on Tao You looks like it was tailor-made on the boy, with the hem tucked into his pants. With wide shoulders and narrow waist, and long legs, he exudes a sense of justice.
"Report to the instructor, I overslept and am late." The boy raised his head and chest, put his hands together on the side of his pants, and stood very upright. Against the light, Tao You couldn't see his facial features clearly.
"Both of them are late for me! What a mistake! I will add an hour of military posture and a 2,000-word review later." The instructor felt that the nerves in his head were beating all the time, and his chest was heaving greatly due to the increased breathing. Veins bulged.
"Yes, instructor." The boy didn't care about the instructor's words, his tone was loose and had the unique hoarseness after getting up.
"Return to the team!"
Tao You stood in the queue in a daze, but his mind was not here at all.
Before returning to the team, the boy passed by her. Only then did she see his face clearly, and she almost blurted out "It's you" in excitement!
If she really said it, he would most likely treat her as a fool or strike up a conversation.
She remembered him, the handsome guy who gave her tissues at the door of the bookstore, and his photo was still in the photo album of her mobile phone! This appearance is entirely based on Tao You's aesthetic point of view, and he can't forget it even if he wants to. Tao You was a little excited. After two months, two people who had nothing to do with each other met again. This was not fate.
Tao You couldn't help but want to see him, but the boy was standing in the last row. Only when he turned around did Tao You get a chance to take a look.
Will he remember me? Probably not. I had disheveled hair at that time and he probably didn’t see my whole face, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing. I feel so embarrassed every time I meet her, so I don't mind this fate.
By the end of the day's military training, everyone was exhausted, their clothes were not breathable, and their clothes and hair were soaked with sweat. After standing in a military posture all day, many people's legs were stiff, so they helped each other and walked back slowly.
Tao You and the boy were left standing on the playground for extra training.
Tao You's body is prone to sweating. Now his clothes are all stuck to his body. The sweat is still flowing down and dripping down his chin. His hair sticks to his face, which is very uncomfortable. The sweat flowing into the clothes flows smoothly. It was itching as it slid down my skin; my face was red from the sun and it hurt slightly.
The presence of the person next to him was so strong that Tao You could clearly smell the faint fragrance on his body. It was the same as last time. It smelled very good. It should be the smell of shower gel. It didn't smell like sweat, and even after being exposed to the sun for a day, he didn't sweat much.
Tao You was really envious of this kind of physique that was not prone to sweating.
Standing next to a handsome guy for the first time, so close, Tao You felt even hotter, and his eyes would glance at him casually every few seconds. But after repeating it a few times, she didn't dare anymore. She was afraid that if she continued to look at it, the other party would notice it.
When the instructor came over and told them that the time was up and they could go back to eat, Tao You thought for the first time that one hour was too short and she could continue to stand.
The golden crow falls in the west and the jade rabbit rises in the east. The breeze blows, bringing a little coolness to get rid of the heat of the day.
While he was drinking water, Tao You took out tissues and handed one to the boy.
The boy looked at the tissue in front of him for a moment, then took it and said thank you.
When they took the tissue, their fingertips touched each other. Tao You immediately retracted his hand, feeling that the area where his fingertips touched was a little hot.
"You're welcome." Tao You forced himself to calm down. , the trembling hands holding the water glass betrayed her.
"Have we met before?" The boy looked at Tao You and said suddenly.
"No, not really." Tao You almost spat out a mouthful of water, his eyes avoided looking at him, and he stuttered in a rare way.
"I'm more of a public face. You may have made a mistake." Tao You thought he was talking about the summer vacation, but that was too embarrassing and she didn't want to admit it.
"Your name is Tao You? You..." the boy continued to ask.
"I'm not, I didn't." Before he could finish speaking, Tao You subconsciously retorted, "You have the wrong person."
Seeing how quickly Tao You denied it, the boy didn't say anything for a while. He continued to stare at Tao You for a while, then apologized, "I'm sorry, I admit my mistake."
Tao You nodded, lowered his head, said goodbye and left. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would faint due to her rapid heartbeat.
What she didn't know was that after she turned around and left, the boy stared at her back and laughed.
"I'm sorry, Tao You, I called you this morning, and when I saw you sitting up, I thought you were awake, so I got down first." As soon as Tao You entered the dormitory, Hong Xiqi came over to apologize, her tone was very anxious, with a tearful tone. .
"What a big deal. I heard you calling me, but I fell asleep again. It's my own problem and it has nothing to do with you." Tao You waved his hand nonchalantly.
"But if I had woken you up completely, you wouldn't have been late." Hong Xiqi still felt guilty, "You can hit me or scold me, as long as you don't get angry."
"It's okay. Why should I be angry?" Tao You took a sip of water. "I'm not good at this. I'm just standing in a military posture and reviewing myself. I'm kidding, it really has nothing to do with you."
"Then, you must accept these snacks." As she said that, Hong Xiqi took all the snacks in the drawer to Tao You's table. It seemed that she would feel at ease only if she accepted them.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. If you want to eat, come to me." Tao You accepted it generously, "I'll treat it as a safekeeping for you, so that you don't have to keep eating."
"Tao You, this is our unique plaster. It is made of pure herbal medicine. It is very effective in relieving muscle soreness. Here it is for you." Chen Lian came over with several pairs of plasters.
"Thank you. This is what I need." Tao You took the plaster in surprise. She closed and opened the drawer half way. After standing for so long today, her calves could no longer bear it.
"Chen Lian, you are partial, only give it to Tao You." Hong Xiqi pouted, pretending to be jealous.
"No, no, yours is here." Chen Lian quickly took out a few more.
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, why are you so cute? Thank you." Hong Xiqi was happy and touched Chen Lian's head.
Chen Lian froze for a moment, then went back to reading with a blush.
"Tao You, the boy who was forced to stand with you today is the one I mentioned before." Hong Xiqi sat cross-legged on the bed, eating the snacks she had just given to Tao You as an apology gift, and said quietly.
Tao You stopped wiping his hair, and a flower exploded in his mind. I didn't respond for a long time.
"Is that the one who plays tennis?" Chen Lian asked Tao You's inner doubts.
"Yeah." Hong Xiqi nodded, "How about it? I'm not exaggerating. He's super handsome, isn't he?"
Tao You nodded dully, climbed onto the bed and lay down, not caring whether his hair was dry or not. There was a lot of information today and she needed to digest it. Chen Lian did not express any opinion.
Tao You stared at the ceiling, still not able to believe that she and the handsome boy she had been obsessed with all summer had met again. This handsome boy was on the tennis team and was in the same class as her. They had just spoken to each other, although it was only a few words, but She was shocked that he actually knew her name. It's a pity that he denied it so quickly, and it seemed that he hadn't finished speaking yet. Ahhhh, what should I do? Why do you answer like that? There is obviously a better answer. My classmates will definitely know my name later. The society is going to die again. Tao You's limbs fluttered, feeling regretful for what he had said. It wasn't until her eyes were sore that she blinked her eyes, wiped away her physiological tears, and sat up.
Seeing Hong Xiqi across from her take out several packs of sanitary napkins from under the bed, Tao You couldn't help but wonder: "Xiqi, what are you doing? Is your aunt here?" But this amount is a bit too much.
"No." Hong Xiqi found the one she needed, unpacked it, took out two pieces and put them in the shoes, "I saw it online. They are used as insoles. The soles of these military training shoes are thin and hard, which makes it difficult to stand for a long time. It hurts, let alone walking. It feels like I'm not wearing any shoes. It's so painful. If I hadn't prepared insoles, I wouldn't have used these." After stuffing them, she put on her shoes and walked around a few times. "Hey, they're quite useful. . Tao You, Chen Lian, you can let it go, it will be much more comfortable than not letting it go. I don’t know how to deal with it in the next few days."
Tao You was wavering in his heart and clasped his fingers on the railing at the head of the bed.
From a face point of view, Tao You refused. It would be too embarrassing if it fell out during military training. From a personal experience, Tao You accepted it. At the end of the day, his legs were more sore than expected. In addition, I have flat feet, which makes my legs more sore after standing for a long time. My body will involuntarily sway slightly, which is maintained by tightening my muscles.
After some ideological struggle, Tao You chose to compromise. She was taking a chance, and if she was careful not to drop the sanitary napkin when she walked, she would not be embarrassed. However, if her muscles were spent in a tight state this week, her legs would still be thicker after training.
Tao You got out of bed, put on his shoes, and prepared to stuff sanitary napkins.
"Well," Chen Lian's thin voice sounded, "my mother has prepared several pairs of insoles for me. If you don't mind, why don't you make do with them first." She held the insoles tightly in her hands and did not lift them very much. High, with the other hand slightly covering the front. The fingers holding the insoles are very hard, as if they are holding something that cannot be put on the table.
Tao You and Hong Xiqi turned to look at Chen Lian. It was the first time they heard her talk so much and they were a little uncomfortable.
Chen Lian bowed her head habitually.
"Yes, thank you." Tao You spoke first, then stepped forward and took a pair.
"Yes, of course! Xiao Lianlian, you are really our timely help. Thank you!" Hong Xiqi took the other pair and put them on, "It's comfortable. Thank you!"
"No...no, it's okay. You just like it." Chen Lian raised her head, her eyes shining with surprise, waving her hands repeatedly, and her words became even more stuttering. After saying that, he went to bed immediately without saying another word.
Tao You sat at the table and finished writing half of the review before going to bed.
etc! Tao You opened his eyes suddenly, how did he know his name! If I remember correctly, what he just called was his full name!
I probably heard it when I was chatting with Hong Xiqi and the others. After all, Hong Xiqi’s loud voice was not just for blowing. Tao You comforted himself and slowly closed his eyes.
