Cheng Yu tilted his head back, a strand of hair stuck to his lips, his eyes seemed to be filled with misty autumn water, and the depth in his eyes could not be seen clearly.
He was silent for a moment, then gently put down his chopsticks, reached out to wipe the hair from the corner of Cheng Yu's mouth, and whispered, "It's my pleasure if you don't bother me."
Bai Yan looked around and couldn't find anything to tie his hair with, so he casually untied it from his neck, and the thin cloth strap slid smoothly through his hand.
"You..." Cheng Yu said softly, his tone a little hesitant, "Are you going to tie me up?"
She obediently stretched out her slender white wrist.
"I won't tie you up." Bai Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, with an almost gentle soothing tone, "I'm just helping you fix your hair."
He gently unfolded the cloth in his hand and slowly twisted it between his fingertips.
As the cloth swept across Cheng Yu's neck, Cheng Yu subconsciously wanted to dodge, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
"Okay." The silky hair was tied behind her.
"Try it." Bai Yan picked up a piece of fish fillet and gently placed it in front of Cheng Yu, "See if you like the taste."
The fragrance in the air became stronger with Bai Yan's movements.
The aroma of oil and stewing food intertwined together, tempting him so much that he almost forgot what had just happened.
"I like it~" Cheng Yu smiled brightly, with curved eyebrows and eyes.
Bai Yan's hand paused slightly, staring at Cheng Yu's smile that suddenly blossomed. That smile was like the morning sunshine, warm and bright, making him forget what to do for a moment.
The meal was not eaten in a hurry. Bai Yan did not urge them, and Cheng Yu did not show any impatience.
After dinner, Bai Yan cleared the dishes and tidied the kitchen.
When he walked out of the kitchen, Cheng Yu was already sitting on the sofa, with his hands on his knees, looking out the window with a somewhat distracted look.
It was not until Bai Yan walked in front of him that his eyes showed color. His long silver hair was scattered casually, and a halo fell on him, as if he was a god descending to earth.
He bent down, his eyes level with Cheng Yu's, and whispered, "What are you thinking about?"
When their eyes met, Cheng Yu did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.
Can the sun warm the moon?
During the long night, the lonely moon is always looking forward to the arrival of dawn.
*
Cheng Yu stayed in the base for three days, and everyone in the base knew about this person.
Over the past three days, Bai Yan had been talking to him mostly.
Bai Yan was worried that he would be bored staying at home, so he simply took him to the training ground.
"I have it, I have it. It's exactly as Adjutant Shao described. It looks great."
"Yes, yes, help, my little heart."
“Why wasn’t it born from me?”
......
Bai Yan and Cheng Yu had not arrived yet, but they could hear the noisy sounds from the training ground from afar.
When they got closer, they saw only a neatly lined up team.
Bai Yan chuckled, his eyes revealing a bit of ease and patience. He didn't say anything to them as long as it didn't delay things. Although he was a general, he didn't act superior. They got along like ordinary friends.
Cheng Yu followed him and waved at them.
It almost ruined the soldiers' plan.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Yu. Bai Yan frowned, "Everyone, get ready to shoot."
As soon as Bai Yan finished speaking, all the soldiers stood up straight, the neat rows became solemn, and they reflexively rushed out to assemble their guns, load them and shoot.
The sound of gunfire continued, and curiosity flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes, which was caught by Bai Yan who was looking over.
"Like?" Bai Yan asked.
He walked to the shooting range nearby and motioned for Cheng Yu to come over.
Cheng Yu walked forward, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the neatly arranged guns, his eyes full of curiosity.
Skilled assembly, for Bai Yan, these are actions that he can complete almost with his eyes closed, and his fingers operate the gun nimbly.
"Try it." He handed the gun to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu took the gun and felt the coldness of the gun body. His fingertips slid lightly across the gun body, and his heart moved slightly.
Looking up at him, he whispered, "No."
"It's okay, I'll teach you." Bai Yan stood behind him, half-hugging his waist, and was so close that he could cover his entire body.
Cheng Yu only reached his chin, and his furry head rubbed against him, making him feel itchy deep in his heart.
Bai Yan supported his hand and raised the gun. "Spread your legs slightly. The recoil of the pistol is very small. Don't worry. Just keep your eyes on the sight."
"Okay..." Cheng Yu held his breath and aimed at the target that was a hundred meters away, but it felt very close.
"Squeeze the trigger gently."
Cheng Yu frowned slightly and felt the gun in his hand tremble slightly. Following Bai Yan's instructions, he slowly tightened his fingers and pulled the trigger.
Bang--
The gunshot rang out, and a small black dot appeared on the bull's eye of the target. Although it was not very accurate, it was considered a hit.
"Great! Do it again." Bai Yan's voice sounded in his ears with a hint of approval.
Bai Yan took a step back and made room for him to do it.
Cheng Yu's breathing slowed down and he pulled the trigger again.
This shot was more accurate, with a clear mark in the center of the bull's eye, almost a perfect hit.
The other people on the training ground also completed their shooting tasks and stood behind, stretching their heads to watch Cheng Yu shoot.
"Oh my god, when did the general become so patient?"
"Tsk, when I first joined the team, it was so miserable. If I couldn't shoot accurately, I couldn't eat. I only scored a 7, and he told me to get out."
"You don't understand, right? Look at him, his second shot is ten points. Besides, how can we compare with him?"
Cheng Yu listened to the whispers behind him, his eyes moved slightly, "I'm different, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan raised his eyes and glanced at those who were peeking.
A faint word came out of his mouth: "Why are you still standing? Run 30 kilometers with a load, and then come back to shoot."
The soldiers who were watching the scene immediately dispersed. Although they shouted "It's terrible", they couldn't hide their smiles as they watched the show.
Bai Yan glanced at the soldiers who were gradually dispersing, with a faint smile in his eyes. He turned his gaze back to Cheng Yu, ruffled his hair, and said softly, "Of course it's different."
This scene caught the eyes of other soldiers and caused a burst of murmurs.
After the shooting course, Cheng Yu held the gun in one hand and held Bai Yan's wrist with the other, shaking it, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone: "Teach me something else, okay?"
Bai Yan hummed softly, as if thinking seriously for a moment, and then said slowly: "Since you are interested, how about I teach you close combat?"
fight?
"Okay." Cheng Yu nodded, and then a light flashed in his eyes.
