At half past six in the morning, it is already bright. The loudspeaker downstairs blared the "Athletes' March" wake-up call, accompanied by the noisy chirping of cicadas.
Tao You twitched and woke up from his dream.
Outside the window, the sun shone brightly and hit her face. Tao You half-squinted his eyes, put his hands in front of his eyes, turned over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his breathing, and gradually recovered from the weightlessness.
What the hell was this dream? Tao You recalled the dream just now, and felt ashamed when he thought of his last actions.
He didn't take the initiative to confess his feelings, but wanted to forcefully kiss him. The funny thing was that he didn't even know his name, so he slapped him in the end to relieve his anger.
She covered her face with a thin blanket and kicked her legs wildly, hoping to forget all this.
"Get up, Xiaoyou." Hong Xiqi got up and came to Tao You's bedside, patted her shoulder and said softly, "We can't be late today."
"Well, I'm awake, I'll get up now." Tao You said, got up and walked to the bathroom.
"Why is there a mark on your face?" Hong Xiqi looked closely at her face, "It looks like a palm print."
Tao You touched his face in panic, feeling nothing.
No! That slap just now, did you slap yourself on the face? ! I asked why the slap was so real.
"It's okay, maybe it's because I pressed it down for too long." Tao You found an excuse to explain.
When she passed the full-length mirror, she took a closer look. Fortunately, the mark was not very serious and should disappear soon.
Thinking of what Song Yimian said in her dream, she took a few steps back.
Boil cabbage in water. Why did I just boil cabbage in water, except for this face that looks a little childish?
She lifted up the hem of her clothes, revealing her fat-free waist, and turned left and right in front of the mirror, making some artificial poses from time to time, feeling very satisfied with herself.
The next second he heard the bathroom door open, Tao You quickly put down his clothes, coughed dryly, walked towards the mirror, and pretended to be combing his hair.
"I'm ready, come on." Chen Lian came out of the bathroom and had already changed her clothes.
Tao You observed Chen Lian's expression in the mirror and saw that she had her eyes lowered and her face was as usual. She probably didn't notice her narcissistic actions just now, so she felt relieved and went to the bathroom.
Hong Xiqi was humming a song and applying sunscreen. The top tucked into her pants outlined the curves of her body very well.
Tao You looked at Hong Xiqi, then turned to look at himself in the mirror. He instantly lost his confidence and even felt that what Song Yimian said made sense.
No, no, you are the best, the best. Tao You brushed his teeth vigorously, as if to brush away all these unconfident thoughts.
"Assemble!" the instructor blew his whistle and shouted, "Everyone is here today."
When Tao You heard this, his face turned red again and he was a little embarrassed. Is this matter impossible to handle?
There was no queue when she arrived, but Song Yimian stepped on it and didn't oversleep. She had forced herself not to think about him or look at him, but her eyes and brain just wouldn't obey.
Especially when my eyes moved to his lips and face, the things I had the courage to do in my dreams would always come to mind, and my face would feel a little painful.
Fortunately, the slap didn't hit his face, otherwise such a handsome face would be ruined. Putting aside the things in the dream, Tao You still wanted to feast his eyes.
This series of rich inner activities caused Tao You to remain out of state. Standing in a military posture is okay, and it doesn't seem like he's distracted. But today I was training on walking forward and turning in various directions.
When practicing turning, because Tao You was thinking about other things in his mind, Tao You's reaction would always be a beat or two slow due to distraction, and he would also turn in the wrong direction.
It wasn't that serious the first few times. Either she reacted in time, or Hong Xiqi, who was standing behind her, reminded her in a low voice.
At the end of the training, the instructor couldn't stand it anymore. He blew the whistle to stop everyone. He stood in front of the queue and looked through the first row at Tao You who was standing in the second row: "That girl who was late yesterday! It's you again. !What’s going on! You can’t tell the difference between front, back, left and right!”
Tao You's face instantly turned red to the root of her neck, and the eyes of the three rows behind her were clearly on her. Tao You's back was like a thorn in the back, and she quickly apologized: "Report to the instructor, there will be no next time!"
The instructor didn't embarrass her too much. He just reminded her to pay attention and listen to the instructions, and then blew the whistle to let them continue practicing. Tao You didn't dare to think about anything else and completely turned his attention back to military training.
I don’t know how long I walked around or stood there.
It felt like the sun was already hanging above their heads, and even with their hats on, it was still very dazzling. The ground was hot and there was no shade in the playground for them to rest.
Tao You felt that her face was burning with pain. Sweat kept dripping from her forehead and formed large droplets on her chin.
She didn't want to be lectured in public anymore.
The sun was so poisonous that several students in the playground collapsed due to weakness and were sent to the infirmary.
Tao You felt his body begin to shake slightly, and he could no longer hold on.
Fortunately, at this time, the instructor blew the whistle and told them to take a rest.
Tao You relaxed, and with his last bit of perseverance, he trotted to the sidelines and grabbed a seat in front of the wall.
Leaning against the cold wall, Tao You felt like half of his life had been saved.
After exhaling a comfortable breath, Tao You's legs softened, his hands rested on the wall, and he slowly slid to the ground. The moment her butt touched the plastic track, she raised her butt again with her teeth bared. The ground was so hot it could boil an egg.
Tao You could only stand up, leaning his back against the wall, stretching his legs slightly forward, and gently tapping his hardened calves with his hands.
"Xiaoyou, here's some water for you." Hong Xiqi rushed to the canteen to grab ice water as soon as they were dismissed.
Tao You took the water and applied it on his face. The stinging sensation was reduced and he felt very comfortable: "Thank you. Come and stay for a while." Tao You just moved half of his body away. Hong Xi took it, fearing that others would beat him to it.
"Xiaoyou, what were you thinking about just now? You don't seem to have a sense of direction." Hong Xiqi asked after drinking the water.
"It's nothing." Tao You didn't know how to tell her what he was thinking. He was really ashamed. "It's just a bit hot."
"Oh, then drink more water." Hong Xiqi nodded, rolled his eyes, and suggested, "How about you pretend to be fainted later, and then I will carry you to the infirmary. This way we can both rest. "
Tao You: "..." She's not good at doing this.
Hong Xiqi thought for a moment and then denied it: "Forget it, forget it, it's unreliable. It's too easy to see through."
"Beep - gather! I'll give you one minute!" The instructor stood on the track with his hands behind his back.
"Gather, gather, don't think about it." Tao You put down the water and pulled Hong Xiqi to run towards the team.
Next is the goose step. After the instructor explained it once, he began to shout commands for them to practice by themselves.
Having the same hands and feet seems to be a must-have in every military training. There are always a few students who have the same hands and feet. Without them, they feel like something is missing.
Tao You, a person who has never had the same hands and feet, now seems to have just learned to walk. No matter how she changes, she will eventually become the same person.
Subtly, the people behind also started to work together.
In the end, their group, starting with her, and the other two boys were taken out to train alone.
After several training sessions, all those who were led astray by Tao You corrected themselves, leaving only Tao You and the other two boys.
She is a little better than the other boy, and at least he can swing his arms. The remaining one can't even swing his arms. His whole body seems to be sealed, and his knees can't bend. He walks like Plants vs. Zombies. The real-life version.
Tao You was already anxious, but he became even more anxious when he heard the laughter of his classmates.
What's even worse is that she seemed to hear Song Yimian's laughter. To confirm, she used her peripheral vision to look and found that the other party was looking at her with a smile.
Their eyes met, and Tao You suddenly looked away. He's laughing at me too! Oh my God, I made a fool of myself in front of him again. Have I used up all my hard work in these few days? ! Why don't you use it so badly?
The instructor found two sticks from nowhere and asked Tao You and the other two boys to stand behind him and grab the sticks with both hands while he led them away.
However, the three cobblers stood up to Zhuge Liang, and unknowingly, the instructor was also led astray. Tao You was about to cry but had no tears. She really didn't know how she felt now.
The instructor couldn't help but bend down and cover his face and laugh for a while. When the laughter was over, he stood up and continued to teach the three of them. The second the dinner bell rang, Xu subconsciously told himself that he was going to eat. He was late and there was no food. Tao You finally changed his actions.
The instructor asked her to master it a few more times before letting her go.
"I'll follow the military-trained horoscope." Tao You clutched his growling stomach.
"Maybe your Mercury has been retrograde for the past two days." Hong Xiqi comforted Tao You, "It will be fine after that."
"I will have a big meal to make up for myself later." Tao You frowned and said, "Anyway, there is a lecture in the afternoon, so just sit and listen."
Tao You and Hong Xiqi had just finished eating and walked out of the cafeteria. Song Yimian and another boy caught up with them: "Tao You."
Tao You rubbed her overstuffed belly and turned around with a smile: "Huh?" Seeing that it was Song Yimian, her expression changed, as if she had seen some wild beast and was about to run away.
"Why are you running?" Song Yimian caught up with him in a few steps, "You really don't remember me. I think we have really met before."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Tao You could only stop: "Classmate, we have never met before. There are so many people named Tao You in the world. You can't just say that we have met before when you see one."
The light in Song Yimian's eyes dimmed and he stepped aside: "Sorry for disturbing you."
Tao You pulled Hong Xiqi out, but did not ignore the gossipy expression on Hong Xiqi's face.
As soon as she entered the classroom, Tao You was pinned down on her seat by Hong Xiqi: "Tell me the truth about what happened between you and him."
Tao You huddled between the chair and Hong Xiqi, explaining everything that happened last night in detail.
"That's it?" Hong Xiqi sat back in her seat and expressed disdain, "What's the point of running away with this? It's just an admission of mistake. When you acted like that just now, I thought you had offended him before, and I was afraid that he would recognize you and come to take revenge on you. Or maybe he’s interested in you and wants to strike up a conversation.”
"How, how is it possible?" What's interesting is that I'm interested in others.
Tao You didn't say the last half of the sentence. She was afraid that if Hong Xiqi said it loudly and spread it to the teacher's ears, then she would stop messing around.
"But yes, for such a handsome guy, how come there are so few people chasing him? No matter what, it will never be his turn to chase others." Hong Xiqi looked at Tao You and said, "You should not be his type either."
Tao You listened and pretended not to care, but couldn't help but ask: "How do you know which one he likes? What if he likes me?"
Hong Xiqi patted Tao You on the shoulder and solemnly shattered Tao You's little fantasy: "Tsk, kid, you have to have dreams and confidence, but don't overdo it."
Tao You: "·······"
"But it's rare for you to talk to Song Yimian so quickly." Hong Xiqi wanted to make Tao You feel better.
"What did you say his name was?" Tao You thought he heard it wrong.
"Song Yimian." Hong Xiqi couldn't believe it, "No way, you don't even know his name!"
"He didn't say it, and I didn't have the nerve to ask." After hearing the name, Tao You thought of his childhood playmate, Song Xiaopang.
It’s the same name again, which is too coincidental.
Tao You began to doubt in his heart, but nothing changed on his face.
He was so fat when he was a child, and he doesn't look good. No matter how long he grows, he won't grow longer like plastic surgery. At his current age, he can't get plastic surgery. Well, it can't be him.
Tao You relied on his memory of Song Xiaopang to compare the two in his mind. He couldn't find anything in common, and finally determined that they just happened to have the same name.
"Sneeze." Song Yimian sneezed as he was coming out of the canteen.
"Hey, someone is thinking about you." Gu Yi walked over with his pocket in his pocket, "By the way, who is that girl? You look familiar. Why don't I know this person?"
"No one, I must have admitted my mistake." Song Yimian answered perfunctorily, his mind obviously not on this.
Seeing that Song Yimian didn't want to say anything, Gu Yi didn't ask any more questions.
He and Song Yimian had been in the same class since elementary school. They had been close friends since childhood. He didn't know what happened to Song Yimian. He only regarded it as a small incident and didn't take it too seriously.
