Most of the military training time had passed unknowingly. Shi Jin's condition was getting better and better, and his performance was getting better and better. Finally, he was directly recommended by several instructors to be the chief flag bearer of this term.
"The chief flag bearer is the coolest during the drill and the final review. I want to be one too." Liu Yong exclaimed with envy.
Shi Jin put away the flag bearer's special epaulettes, gloves and other items distributed by the superiors, looked sideways at him, and said, "The flag bearer has to train for an hour every day, are you willing?"
Liu Yong immediately put his envy behind him and shook his head in fear, "No, no, the training will start in a few days, and I have to conserve my energy, otherwise I won't be able to make it to the finish line and embarrass our team."
Luo Donghao sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that we are not allowed to form a team this time, otherwise we can go with Shi Jin."
"Forget it, I can't keep up with Shi Jin's speed." Liu Yong shook his head even harder, and even moved to a place farther away from Shi Jin.
Shi Jin looked at him helplessly, not understanding why he "deified" himself so much. He was about to comfort him and consolidate his image as a normal person when he saw Xiang Aoting, who had been called to speak, come back and wave at him.
"The instructor called me, I'll go." Shi Jin greeted Luo Donghao and the others, stood up and walked towards Xiang Aoting.
Seeing this, Liu Yong began to sigh again: "The instructor really likes Shi Jin."
Luo Donghao lowered his head and counted the ants, pretending that he was a piece of wood without eyes or ears.
...
The two brothers walked to a corner far away from the team. Xiang Aoting turned his back to the team and whispered, "The training location has been decided. It's on a hill near the military camp. I told Lian Jun where we will be training this time. He might come." Shi Jin's
eyes widened and he looked up at him excitedly.
Xiang Aoting quickly raised his hand to hold his head to help him block his expression, and said helplessly, "Be more focused... There is a speed competition in the training. The content is to let you rush from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, get the small flag on the top of the mountain, and then go down the mountain with the small flag back to the starting point. The first person to come down will get extra points. If you want to get the first place in this military training, don't miss it."
"Then Lian Jun..." Shi Jin asked expectantly.
"He will stay in the mountain ranger's house on the mountainside for a while. The house is a bit far from the main road up the mountain, and it will take some time to go back and forth. You must be careful not to delay too long." Xiang Aoting instructed. Seeing that Shi Jin was so excited that he didn't know why, he felt a little disappointed. He patted Shi Jin's head gently and said, "Military training in college is the only one in a lifetime. Xiaojin, you must learn to enjoy it and start. "Be more careful."
Shi Jin was stunned, looking at his warm and tolerant eyes, he calmed down a little, suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, and said seriously: "Fourth brother, thank you, I am very happy now."
Whether it was secretly giving a mobile phone or arranging for him to meet Lian Jun during the training, these were all done by Xiang Aoting in violation of some of his principles, just for the purpose of making him happy. This kind of thought is too rare, he will cherish it.
Xiang Aoting was stunned by being hugged, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately hugged him back gently and said, "Why are you being polite to your brother."
The two hugged for only a moment and then let go, but Luo Donghao still saw it with his sharp eyes. He gasped in surprise and yelled reflexively, attracting the attention of all the surrounding team members.
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yong looked at him worriedly and raised his hand to touch his forehead. "You're screaming so unpleasantly, are you possessed by a ghost?" Luo
Donghao saw Shi Jin and Xiang Aoting separated with the remaining eye, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He shook off Liu Yong's hand and said tiredly: "What do you mean by possessed by a ghost? You have to believe in science, understand? My throat just itches and I want to shout."
"Tsk." Liu Yong pushed him boredly.
...
After the training ended that day, Luo Donghao went to find Shi Jin and reminded him vaguely, "Shi Jin, you and the instructor should be more careful. If a trainee and an instructor... ahem... act together, it's too obvious and people will talk about it." Shi Jin
looked at him puzzled and asked, "What did you hum in the second half of the sentence? I didn't hear a word. What happened to the instructor?"
Seeing that he was still playing dumb, Luo Donghao got anxious and said directly, "I treat you as a brother, so I came to remind you. When you hugged the instructor this afternoon, there were so many people around. You, you should be more restrained."
"Ah, you saw it." Shi Jin finally understood what he was talking about, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's indeed my fault. I was too happy at the time and didn't pay attention to the situation. I will pay more attention in the future. Thank you for reminding me. I'm going to the training. Bye." After that, he picked up the flag bearer's equipment and went to find Xiang Aoting for training.
Luo Donghao watched him leave, and noticed the joy and expectation in his words, and his heart was instantly filled with despair - this reaction, Shi Jin is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and he is determined to get together with the instructor. It's over, it's over, please end the military training quickly, with Shi Jin's current state, he is afraid that Shi Jin will not be able to control his beastly nature and something will happen between him and the instructor in the barracks.
...
Shi Jin was indeed very excited, but these emotions had nothing to do with Xiang Aoting, only with Lian Jun. After finishing an hour of training, Shi Jin's eyes immediately fixed on Xiang Aoting's trouser pockets - there, there was a tool to contact Lian Jun!
Xiang Aoting understood what he meant in a second, sighed in his heart, frowned, and emphasized: "I will help you send text messages, you are not allowed to touch the phone."
Shi Jin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and hugged his arms to his chest, with an expression of "I will never do anything rash."
Xiang Aoting then sat opposite him, and took a look at his well-behaved sitting posture. He suddenly felt that the person sitting in front of him was a puppy wagging its tail wildly at him. The bad feeling of helping Shi Jin contact Lian Jun faded a little. He took out his mobile phone to find Lian Jun's number and chose to edit the text message.
"Why don't you just call directly? I won't take my mobile phone. You can just turn on the speaker and I will listen to you and Lian Jun talking." Shi Jin was getting more and more demanding, and "euphemistically" made a request.
What can active military personnel and the leader of a violent organization talk about?
Xiang Aoting looked at him, unwillingly in his heart, but his fingers moved, exited the text message editing interface, and directly called Lian Jun. Lian Jun answered the call almost immediately, and then directly ignored the fact that it was Xiang Aoting's cell phone number, and called directly: "Shi Jin?"
"It's me!" Shi Jin immediately moved closer to the phone, and after being given a warning look by Xiang Aoting, he turned sideways as if nothing had happened, lowered his head to adjust the tassels on the flag bearer's epaulettes, and said to the ground, "I'm just a background sound. You guys chat, I'm just listening, don't mind me."
Lian Jun's voice immediately faded, and asked, "Is Xiang Aoting here too?"
"I'm here." Xiang Aoting took over, and looking at Shi Jin with his head down, he felt a little reluctant, and said, "Two minutes, curfew time will be here soon, Shi Jin must return to the dormitory building on time to wash up and rest." Shi Jin's
ears raised and his head looked up again.
Lian Jun was quiet for a while, then said, "Thank you."
Then a strange scene appeared on the playground. An instructor seemed to be talking on the phone with a mobile phone, but his mouth did not move. The student next to him seemed to be waiting honestly for the instructor to finish the call, but his mouth kept moving.
Two minutes was too short. Shi Jin only had time to care about Lian Jun's meal and rest before the time was up. He reluctantly said good night to Lian Jun, watched Xiang Aoting hang up the phone, and sighed sadly. The
stolen happy time ended again.
"Do you like him very much?" Xiang Aoting put away his phone and suddenly asked.
Shi Jin took a look at him and saw that he was serious, so he also became serious and nodded in response, "I like him very much. I want to spend my whole life with him. Fourth brother, Lian Jun is really good, I hope you can get along well."
Xiang Aoting didn't say anything, but bent down to help him pack his things. After they walked out of the playground together, he asked again, "Why him?"
Shi Jin walked beside him empty-handed and replied, "There is no why when you like someone. By the time I realized it, I already liked him very much. Fortunately, he likes me too. Fourth brother, you all have prejudices against Lian Jun. He didn't choose his profession on his own initiative. Life pushed him to it. He has too many helplessness and involuntary things in his position. Compared with the leader of a violent organization, he actually wants to be an ordinary person."
Xiang Aoting lowered his eyes and thought about his words seriously.
Shi Jin continued, "He is very good and treats me very well. When I first met him, I was in a very bad state. I was poor and fat, I didn't know how to do anything, and I even stole chickens from his orchard. But he didn't despise me. After knowing my situation, he took me in, fed me, clothed me, gave me a job, found someone to teach me, and took me with him wherever he went. I originally didn't plan to continue my studies. I planned to take the entrance exam for an adult college or something after my life was stable. But he disagreed and used various methods to persuade me to leave. He coaxed me to study, arranged a teacher for me, let me take the college entrance examination, and helped me choose a school. When I said I wanted to apply to the police academy, none of them agreed, but he was the only one who supported me... Fourth brother, without him, there would be no me today. It was he who pushed me onto the right path in life and prevented me from going astray for too long. "
It can also be said that it was Lian Jun who personally wove his messy reborn life into the promising future he has today, and helped him take root in this world.
"He is very important." Shi Jin emphasized with a firm tone, "I want to be with him for the rest of my life."
"Xiao Jin." Xiang Aoting suddenly stopped and asked, "Are you happy now?" Shi
Jin looked sideways at him, squinted and smiled, and replied, "If you can lend me your phone so that I can make another video call to Lian Jun, I will feel happier."
Happier, so is he already very happy now?
"That's good." Xiang Aoting raised his hand and touched his head, his expression helpless and compromising, and said, "I believe in your choice... but video calls are not allowed, go back on time to wash up and go to bed." Shi
Jin's smile collapsed instantly, and he snatched his things with a stern face, said good night stiffly, turned around and left.
Xiang Aoting stood there and watched him leave. After a long time, he sighed deeply - poor, fat, and incompetent... What did he and his elder brother do in the past...
...
After the date of the training was announced, the team members found that Shi Jin, this monster, actually showed an extremely scary enthusiasm for the training, asking the instructor about the preparations for the training every day.
"Is he a devil? What is he looking forward to in such a hard and frustrating project like the training?" Liu Yong asked with difficulty.
Luo Donghao took a look at Shi Jin who was blatantly pestering Xiang Aoting under the pretext of asking about the training, and said solemnly, "Training is not the most important thing. The preparation for the training is the most important thing. You don't understand."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Yong frowned and looked at him sideways, then raised his hand to touch his forehead, his face full of worry, "You are really possessed by a ghost, right? I will exorcise the evil spirit for you. I heard that spitting can..."
Luo Donghao slapped him to the ground and suppressed his nonsense.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the training arrived. Shi Jin was the first to get up and rushed to the playground to gather. He listened to the mobilization meeting for half an hour with his heavy equipment on his back. Then, he finally waited for the main troops to set off and walked eagerly towards the training site - yes, walking. There was no car for this training, and they had to walk the whole way!
"Hell is here." Liu Yong had nothing to live for. Shi
Jin was radiant and said excitedly: "The mountain is not far from the military camp. Let's go, let's go to the mountain to play."
Play... Liu Yong choked and turned his head away to avoid looking at him, fearing that he would be angry to death.
There were other projects to complete on the way to the mountain. Everyone walked and trained. It was not a long distance, but it took almost three hours to reach the destination. Everyone gathered at the gathering point designated by the instructor, ate some dry food and water to fill their stomachs, and after a short rest, they faced the highlight of this training session - climbing mountains to retrieve items!
"There are three routes up the mountain. You are free to choose which one you want to take. The departure time is 1:00 p.m. Those who have not got the flag and come down the mountain before 3:00 p.m. will have their training credits deducted. They must do additional training to complete the military training." Xiang Aoting explained the rules, then took out the route map and handed it to everyone, saying, "It is now 12:30. You have half an hour to prepare. If an unexpected situation occurs during the climb, you must immediately send a signal to contact the instructor nearby, and don't try to be strong on your own. During the competition time, all students are not allowed to form a team or help others get the flag. You must complete the task independently. Understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone responded, and opened the route map as soon as they received it.
The three routes up the mountain have different difficulties. Route 1 near the assembly point is the easiest to take, but it is a bit roundabout and will definitely be slow to walk. Route 2 is an abandoned mountain road left by the former residents of the mountain. It does not go around, but the road condition is not very good. Route 3 is just a faint trail that connects to the top of the mountain in a straight line, but the road condition is so bad that it is a bit dangerous.
Liu Yong was very self-aware and decided to take the easiest path, and then asked Luo Donghao: "Which one do you want to take?"
"Route 2, I have good endurance but poor flexibility, so I am not suitable for the steeper Route 3." Luo Donghao was also very rational. After saying that, he looked at Shi Jin, wanting to ask about his choice, but found that Shi Jin had already stood up with his things, looking like he was ready to leave.
He was stunned, and quickly called Shi Jin to ask: "Where are you going?" Shi Jin
turned around to look at him, and kept walking, pointing to the left side of the mountain, and said: "Go to the No. 3 climbing point, there seems to be a nice view there." After he finished speaking, he was already more than ten meters away, and soon disappeared.
Liu Yong was stunned: "Nice view? What on earth is he doing here?" "What else
can he do? Of course he is here for training, not for love." Luo Donghao was also a little speechless, and glanced at Xiang Aoting who was watching Shi Jin leave, and sighed.
...
At one o'clock, the gunshots were fired, and Shi Jin rushed out of the preparation point, climbed up the mountain path, and disappeared into the woods in a short while.
Some students who also chose this path were impressed by his movements. One person couldn't help but try Shi Jin's climbing method of running and climbing, but he fell down miserably and said angrily: "Don't let me find the person who spread rumors, I must kill him! What a coquettish young master, bah!"
The others silently agreed in their hearts, and walked slowly up the mountain with interest, not daring to rush like Shi Jin.
…
Shi Jin ran very fast all the way, and rushed to the top of the mountain in one go. He picked a small flag tied to a tree and held it in his hand, then ran straight in the direction of the mountain ranger’s hut—faster, faster, if he ran faster now, he would be able to stay with Lian Jun for a while longer.
Finally! When his hair was half wet with sweat, he finally saw the mountain ranger's house in his sight. His eyes lit up, and he quickly stuffed the flag in his hand into his bag behind him. He rushed to the door of the house in two steps, stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and shouted happily: "Lian Jun!"
Lian Jun, who was flipping through documents on a tablet in the house, just heard the sound of running outside, and the door not far in front of him was pushed open. Before his eyes had time to adapt to the change in light in the house after the door opened, a wall of sweaty people fell directly over.
Bang.
"Ah!"
Shi Jin didn't grasp the angle well, and his head hit Lian Jun's wheelchair directly, causing him to scream in pain.
Lian Jun quickly threw the tablet away, reached out to touch his head, frowned and asked: "Where did you hit? Let me see if the skin is broken?" Shi Jin
looked up at him, still remembering the pain, and immediately hugged him again, stuffing Lian Jun into his arms like kneading dough, and said happily: "You really came! The way up the mountain is not easy to walk, how did you get up? When did you get here? Did you eat lunch well? What happened to your lunch?" "How do you sleep? Did you take a nap?"
Lian Jun felt like he was trapped by an overexcited bear. He felt funny, distressed and helpless. He raised his hands and hugged Shi Jin back, stroking his back soothingly, and replied, "I came here from the repaired mountain road. Gua Yi and Gua Er were with me. I had lunch, but I didn't take a nap yet. I'll make up for it later." After that, he glanced at Gua Yi who was standing in the corner.
Gua Yi got up and walked out of the door quietly. He looked at Gua Er who was guarding outside, and surrounded the house from the front and the back.
Inside the house, Shi Jin nodded and felt that the wheelchair was really a nuisance. He simply pulled Lian Jun out of the wheelchair, let him sit on the small bed that the mountain guards usually used to rest, and hugged him again.
"Let me see your head first." Lian Jun hugged him with one hand, pulled away to look at his head, and saw a swollen bump on his forehead. He frowned, raised his hand and touched it, and asked, "Does it hurt?" Shi Jin
shook his head, looked at him with bright eyes, and suddenly turned his head to kiss him.
He had just worked out, and was sweating all over, his short hair was messy, and there were grass leaves on his body. His skin was darker than before, and his muscles were much stronger. He was only wearing a military green short-sleeved training suit on his upper body, camouflage pants on his lower body, and a pair of short boots on his feet.
This was Shi Jin that Lian Jun had never seen before. He was very handsome and his hormones were off the charts.
Lian Jun was a little stunned, and Shi Jin accidentally took the initiative. He fell on the small bed with his kiss.
Shi Jin's scent filled his whole surroundings. His heart was beating very fast. His body was held so tightly that it even hurt a little. Lian Jun opened his eyes and looked at Shi Jin's eager kiss. The empty space in his heart that had been empty for a long time was finally filled. He rubbed the back of Shi Jin's head soothingly and closed his eyes obediently.
The breathing of both of them became heavier. Just when Lian Jun couldn't help but want to take over, Shi Jin suddenly stepped away, left the bed, took out a bottle of water from his weight bag, squeezed it out and poured it directly over his head, lowered his head and panted.
"What's wrong?" Lian Jun sat up, pulled his messy robe, and stood up to get closer to him.
"No, don't come over yet." Shi Jin raised his hand to stop him, wiped the water off his face, a little depressed, "I can't stay here too long, time is precious, can't be wasted, I want to have a good talk with you. You sit there and don't move, I just want to calm down."
Lian Jun heard the words, glanced at his half-squatting posture covering a certain part of his body and the water bottle in his hand, his heart was a little moved, but he didn't show it on his face, and responded considerately: "Okay, I won't go over, you don't squat, find a place to sit for a while, squatting is too tiring."
Shi Jin simply sat down on the ground, looking at Lian Jun leaning on the bed with ragged clothes and slightly red lips, he groaned in pain, raised his hand and poured another gulp of mineral water, and then pressed the bag on his forehead hard.
A sharp pain rose up, slightly suppressing the impulse in his body.
Lian Jun hurriedly stood up and leaned over, pulling his hand away, frowning and saying, "Don't mess around." Shi Jin
held his hand in return, looked up at him, and complained aggrievedly, "Who made you so beautiful? I'm at an age of vigor and energy now, and I'm excited. If I don't distract myself, I'm afraid I'll eat you alive now."
As the saying goes, a short separation makes a new marriage better. He has become younger and more energetic. Damn it.
Nothing can make people feel more at ease than a lover's direct desire for them. Lian Jun's occasional worries and concerns due to missing him during this period of time all dissipated in Shi Jin's straightforward words. He touched Shi Jin's thoroughly wet head and said, "Why didn't I notice that you were so blunt before?"
"It's all your fault." Shi Jin didn't dodge his hand, but looked up at him again, and warned him without any confidence, "Don't tease me, I'm in danger now."
"I'm in danger now too." Lian Jun bent down, kissed his forehead, and whispered, "Shi Jin, the way I miss you is exactly the same as the way you miss me."
The warm breath brushed against his face, Shi Jin closed his eyes tightly, stretched out his hand to hook Lian Jun down, bit his lip, and said viciously: "I told you not to tease me!"
Lian Jun smiled, stretched out his arms to hug him, not caring whether the water on his body would wet his clothes, and said: "Shi Jin, I kind of regret letting you choose the police academy." The feeling of separation was too uncomfortable. Shi Jin pursed
his lips, raised his hands to hug him back, and buried his face in his chest.
