It was raining heavily, and the raindrops hit the glass windows rhythmically.
“Bang.” A thunder peal broke the night sky again.
Xiao Jing sat up. The room was dark. A flash of lightning shone on her face. Her hand gently pulled the quilt on the bed.
She then lowered her voice and called softly, “Captain, Captain, are you asleep?”
The room was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After Xiao Jing was sure that the man on 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 little pillow under her head, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and closed her eyes contentedly.
“Bang.” The thunder sounded again and lightning flashed, reflecting on the bed.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the small figure lying beside him silently. She tried very hard not to come over, but it seemed that she forgot about the restraints after falling asleep, and her hands and feet loosened involuntarily.
“Boom.”
Shen Chengfeng was quick to catch her body as she was about to fall, his brows tightened slightly, and he moved her back.
“Captain, I didn’t go to bed.” Xiao Jing turned over and muttered.
Shen Chengfeng stared at the little figure who was mumbling in his sleep without blinking and moved a little inside.
Xiao Jing hugged the pillow in her arms, as if laughing, “Chicken legs, duck legs, chicken wings, duck wings, meat, meat.”
Shen Chengfeng’s head hit the bed board. He closed his eyes and let this guy who had a dishonest sleeping posture take all the pillows and quilts over him.
The rain outside the window intensified, hitting the glass like beads.
At five in the morning, the bugle sounded.
After a night of heavy rain, the entire playground was slippery.
When Xiao Jing heard the bugle call, she reflexively got up from the bed and began to grab her clothes in a sleepy state. She didn’t care if they were her own clothes or not, and she forced them on. Without even opening her eyes, she rushed out of the dormitory door based on her feeling.
Shen Chengfeng heard the door closing, opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and touched the bedside, but it was empty. Where were his clothes?
The morning wind was a little chilly and everyone stood side by side.
Qi Yue inspected them one by one and finally stopped in front of Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing held her head high and chest out, standing straight.
Qi Yue looked him up and down, frowning slightly, “What are you wearing?”
Xiao Jing lowered her head and wanted to reply, “Of course it’s a military uniform,” but when she looked closely, it was like a bolt of lightning hitting her head in a drought.
Hehe, could this be the captain’s legendary general’s uniform that shines with gold and has its own halo?
It’s also quite big and baggy, no wonder I felt like it was leaking some air early in the morning.
“This looks like the captain’s clothes.” Qi Yue turned up his collar and said it out loud.
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the playground turned to him.
Jiang Xin whispered, “Captain’s clothes?”
Mu Xichi repeated: “It’s really the captain’s clothes.”
Cheng Chen stared in astonishment and asked, “Why are the captain’s clothes on Little Eighteen?”
Jin Shan analyzed: “Did they sleep together last night?”
Pei Yi said noncommittally: “They did sleep together last night.”
Xiao Jing blinked, feeling a little embarrassed. Should she say something to diffuse this weird atmosphere?
“Bang bang bang.” Lian Qing finally ran to the playground, crawling and rolling, holding up his pants.
In the end, he thought he could make a very handsome appearance, but his pants slipped and his right foot stepped on the stairs, causing him to trip and roll down the stairs, face down on the ground, with a mouthful of mud.
Xiao Jing stared at her former captain with tears in her eyes. Only you would have such a sudden idea to attract everyone’s attention.
Lian Qing sat up, patted the dirt off his face, and said with a wry smile: “Am I late?”
Qi Yue helped him up and said with a smile: “Not too late, not too late, just right.”
Lian Qing felt a little uneasy. Why did he feel that his smile was malicious?
“Now that everyone is here, let’s start the morning class. We’ll be running 10 kilometers with a 30-kilogram weight.” Qi Yue cast a deep gaze at Lian Qing who had arrived late, and added, “According to the rules, the last person to arrive will not get a meal.”
Lian Qing lost his balance and nearly fell flat on his face again. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, “I’m just here to communicate, you don’t need to treat me the same.”
Qi Yue shook his head. “The rules of our special forces have always been to treat everyone equally. Thank you for your hard work, Captain.”
Xiao Jing deliberately handed over the backpack and put it on his back without thinking.
Lian Qing suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, weighing him down so heavily that he could hardly move.
Xiao Jing waved at his lagging figure and shouted, “Captain, I will wait for you at the finish line while enjoying the scenery and eating steamed bread.”
Lian Qing ran out of the camp breathlessly, looking at the group of people who disappeared without a trace in a flash, and pouted his lips in grievance. Where was the comradeship that promised to stick together through thick and thin? Where was the comradeship that promised to fight hand in hand without abandoning?
After a whole night of heavy rain, the entire mountain forest path was slippery and muddy.
Xiao Jing sat down on a piece of gravel exhausted, looking at Captain Lian Qing who was still struggling with his hands and feet at the foot of the mountain, and slowly took out a compressed biscuit.
Lian Qing panted heavily, looked up at the little figure who was eating with hearty mouths, held his breath, and climbed up the mountain with difficulty.
Xiao Jing patted the biscuit crumbs on her hands and smiled, “Captain, I won’t wait for you anymore. You can take a rest. I’ll leave first.”
“Wait.” Lian Qing pulled Xiao Jing’s clothes with both hands.
Xiao Jing removed his hand and frowned, “Just talk if you want to, why are you taking off my clothes?”
Lian Qing pointed at the biscuit bag on the ground and asked, “Are you so cruel that you want to eat all of it by yourself?”
“Everyone will be given a bag of biscuits before leaving. How can this be considered eating alone? This should be my breakfast.” Xiao Jing said righteously with his hands on his hips.
Lian Qing frowned and asked in surprise: “Why don’t I have it?”
“As a punishment for being the last one, you didn’t.” Xiao Jing sighed, patted Lian Qing’s shoulder solemnly, and said calmly, “Captain, if you fall behind in the weight training later, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to eat lunch.”
“I am a guest after all. You shouldn’t use the rules of your special forces to require a newcomer like me who is here to learn and practice.”
“But the rules of our special forces are that there is no distinction between inside and outside. Once you enter this door, you have to follow the rules of our Captain Shen. I forgot to mention that his rules are often unpredictable and you never know when he will change them. You… take care of yourself.”
“…”
Xiao Jing picked up her backpack and ran into the woods at a nimble pace.
Lian Qing was left alone, thinking about life in the wind.
He squatted down and rummaged through the biscuit bag on the ground. After making sure there was not even a crumb left, he held his chin with one hand: Why was it so hard for him to figure out, why did he not continue enjoying the good time in the 525th Regiment and came running to the 501st Regiment? Seeking excitement? It was indeed quite exciting.
Hahahaha, tears streaming down my face.
At the top of the mountain, the autumn wind was howling.
Xiao Jing had just climbed up the mountain when she suddenly felt the atmosphere was weird.
She deliberately slowed down her pace. A cuckoo was humming a little tune as it flew over the branches, and fallen leaves were swirling and covering the ground.
Rustling.
There were silent footsteps coming towards her.
Xiao Jing turned around and punched out without hesitation.
“Little Eighteen, it’s me, it’s me.” Jiang Xin had a smile on his face that he thought was very friendly. He said, “We have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Xiao Jing looked at the three people who appeared out of nowhere, frowned, and asked, “What are you waiting for me for?”
Cheng Chen covered his mouth and coughed lightly, pointed at the clothes on Xiao Jing, and said straight to the point: “This looks like the captain’s clothes.”
Xiao Jing took a step back awkwardly, deliberately keeping a distance, and said vaguely, “Maybe I took the wrong one when I got it in the bathroom.”
“No, no, no, Little Eighteen, you don’t understand our captain’s abnormal cleanliness. Not only will he not mix his own clothes with ours, we are not allowed to wear anything of his, let alone touch it.” Jiang Xin said.
Xiao Jing continued to step back guiltily, and then said, “Why are you telling me all this? I’ll change it back for him after I wash it.”
“Don’t you understand what we mean?” Mu Xichi raised her head proudly, “Did you sleep with the captain last night?”
“…” Xiao Jing was stunned. Why did she feel that this sentence was a bit ambiguous?
Mu Xichi took a step forward, bent down and smelled it carefully.
Xiao Jing turned her head away. She felt that she had a chance of winning against one person alone, but when it came to three people, she chose to stay put.
Mu Xichi crossed his arms around his chest and said confidently, “This is the captain’s scent. I’m sure this dress has always been on the captain’s body before, and you suddenly snatched it and put it on.”
“You stole it and put it on?” Cheng Chen was shocked. He looked at Xiao Jing with admiration and said, “Little Eighteen, aren’t you afraid that the captain will be ruthless and make you die?”
“Cheng Chen, you are wrong. He is not afraid of being touched by the captain.” Jiang Xin said.
Cheng Chen suddenly realized, “That’s right, so you just wilfully snatched the captain’s clothes and wore them?”
“I didn’t rob it, I just accidentally took the wrong one. The room was pitch black, how could I tell whether these were my clothes or his clothes?” Xiao Jing blurted out, suddenly covering her mouth.
Three pairs of eyes fell on her thin body at the same time, like high-definition cameras, illuminating all her pores clearly.
“Oh, bah, I said it wrong. It was pitch dark when I was getting clothes in the bathroom and I couldn’t see clearly.” Xiao Jing tried to explain.
Jiang Xin patted her shoulder gently and sighed, “Don’t make excuses. The deputy captain has told us that Little Eighteen has worked hard these past few days.”
“Yeah, the captain is moody and a bit repressed. If you sleep with him, I’m afraid you’ll be possessed by a ghost.” Cheng Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
“What’s wrong with him? He just slept with the captain for a night and he snatched the captain’s clothes. Who knows, he might have to take off the captain’s pants tomorrow.” Mu Xichi still looked up at the sky proudly.
Xiao Jing stared at the three people who sang the same tune and said with a wry smile: “It’s really not what you think. I slept on the floor. The captain told me to sleep on the floor. What can I do? I feel more wronged than anyone else.”
“Little Eighteen, stop talking. We understand.” Jiang Xin leaned close to Xiao Jing’s ear and lowered his voice, saying, “I didn’t think so before, but now that I look closely, I suddenly realize that you and the captain are a good match, hahaha.”
“…”
Cheng Chen also came forward and lay on the other side of Xiao Jing, saying: “Jiang Xin’s words make sense. I really didn’t think so before, but now I think you two are quite suitable. In this world, you are the only one who dares to touch the captain’s skin. How is it? Is it smooth and soft, and feels good?”
Xiao Jing nodded involuntarily. It felt very nice. His skin was probably very smooth because it had been closed all along. It was like touching a piece of ice. Although it was a little cold, it was flawless.
Wait, what did she just nod for?
Xiao Jing raised her neck stiffly and looked at Jiang Xin and Cheng Chen who were communicating intensely with their eyes. She felt that they must have misunderstood, thought too much, and heard wrongly.
“Okay, we’ve wasted quite some time, let’s continue on our way.” Jiang Xin picked up his backpack, looked at Cheng Chen and raised his eyebrows, and the two of them left at the same time tacitly.
Mu Xichi still clasped his hands together and stared at her coldly.
Xiao Jing walked over carefully.
Mu Xichi grabbed her hand, raised his head high, and said seriously: “Be nicer to the captain in the future.”
“…” Xiao Jing stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Mu Xichi clenched his fists and said, “You’re on your own.”
Xiao Jing stood there in a daze, looking at the three people who disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. She felt like there was something stuck in her throat. Why were they talking so incoherently? Did they think something wrong?
“Xiao Jing.”
A rude male voice sounded from the secluded woods.
Xiao Jing instinctively turned around and looked at Lin Qi who was standing there motionless. She walked over puzzledly and deliberately squatted a little before she saw that he was standing silently with his head down.
Lin Qi took a deep breath. Although his whole body appeared relaxed, his hands had already been clenched into fists involuntarily.
Xiao Jing didn’t understand why he suddenly became like this, and whispered, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Qi shook his head, feeling mixed emotions and an indescribable discomfort. But after seeing the smiling face so close, his fists slowly relaxed and he sighed, “Nothing.”
Xiao Jing opened the backpack behind her, took out the biscuits she had hidden, and handed them to Lin Qi, smiling, “My former captain almost snatched them away. Fortunately, I knew he only loved to search pockets, so I left them for you. Have some.”
Lin Qi quietly looked at the biscuit bag handed to him. The discomfort in his heart instantly disappeared. He smiled honestly, “I also left something for you.”
Xiao Jing was eagerly waiting to see what he brought her. When she saw him take out the apple from his backpack, she almost snatched it away.
Lin Qi smiled and said, “I’ve read your information and found that you particularly like eating apples.”
Xiao Jing nodded, wiped the apple on her clothes, took a big bite, and the juice filled her mouth. She smiled and said, “Where did you get this apple?”
“There’s a tree over there. If you want to eat it in the future, tell me and I’ll pick some for you.”
Xiao Jing raised her hands and placed them on Lin Qi’s shoulders, looking up and laughing, “Good comrade, you should have a bite too.”
Lin Qi looked at the hand he handed over and took a small bite shyly, “It’s very sweet.”
“Let’s go, we’re falling behind.” Xiao Jing put her arm around Lin Qi’s shoulder, and they walked side by side down the mountain.
In the camp’s sentry tower, Shen Chengfeng put down the binoculars without saying a word.
Behind him, the guard on duty dared not say a word and carefully controlled his breathing.
Shen Chengfeng jumped down from the tower and looked at a group of people who were returning to the camp not far away, still without saying a word.
“Captain.” Everyone lined up, stood up straight, and faced the flag flying high with their heads held high.
Shen Chengfeng stared leisurely at the two figures that gradually came into his sight. The two of them were chatting happily with their arms around each other’s shoulders.
“Captain.” Xiao Jing’s gaze fell squarely on Shen Chengfeng. Fortunately, he was not so stupid as to wear her own clothes and show off in public.
“You two do 300 push-ups, and the rest of you can go and have lunch.” Shen Chengfeng’s voice echoed around the playground with unquestionable strength and power.
Xiao Jing was frightened, but did not dare to question the captain’s order. She obediently put down her backpack and lay on the ground.
Shen Chengfeng just stood motionless in front of her, staring at Xiao Jing who had completed the work with high quality.
Xiao Jing felt uneasy, her eyes fixed on the military boots that fell into her sight. She wasn’t sure if there was something wrong with this man again, but for safety’s sake, she had to remain quiet.
“Do you know why I want to punish you two?” Shen Chengfeng spoke to break the silence.
Xiao Jing finished her push-ups, stood up, and shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“The apple tree on the back hill was planted by me.” The man’s cold voice lingered without a trace of warmth.
“…” Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched slightly.
Lin Qi took a step forward and said, “Captain, I picked them privately. It has nothing to do with Second Lieutenant Xiao.”
“She ate it.”
Xiao Jing covered her mouth, hesitating whether to vomit it back into the mouth of this stingy general.
“Was it delicious?” Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Jing hesitated and then nodded.
“What do you think?”
Xiao Jing continued to show her signature smile and said, “Captain, you are great.”
