Mi Zehai was amused. He thought it was just a child's preference for brightly colored things, so he simply picked up the military theory book and started flipping through it. He was not picky and would read any book. It didn't matter which one he read first.
But when he wanted to change the book, Mi Yang was not happy and insisted that he finish reading the red-covered book in his hand.
Yonezawa Hai coaxed him, "This one is also good, and it has pictures. Let's read this one."
Mi Yang shook the bottle, wanting to do something naughty, but before he could unscrew the lid with his little hands, he was discovered by Mi Zehai, who confiscated his bottle.
Mi Yang: “…”
Mi Yang: "Dad, I want to pee."
Mi Zehai was reading a book and agreed casually. But before he could stand up, his beloved son peed on his neck, and the book he was reading was also wet. Mi Zehai supported his son while he frantically tried to save the book. He desperately asked his superior for help: "Wife! Wife, come quickly! There is a flood!"
When Cheng Qing came running over with a spatula, Mi Yang had already changed into his little pants and was sitting on the bed playing cards with an innocent look on his face.
Mi Zehai was wiping his reference books, feeling like crying but unable to cry. The two books he was reading were completely ruined. Only the red hardcover military theory book that Mi Yang had taken a fancy to was not affected because it was put aside.
Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows and was about to teach this little rascal a lesson, but Mi Yang quickly climbed down from the crib and ran out. Mi Zehai felt sorry for his son and stopped her, saying, "Forget it, forget it. I'll wipe these and put them outside to dry. There's another book, I'll read that one first..."
Cheng Qing said: "We can't just let him get away like this. If he does something wrong, he will be punished!"
Mi Yang could tell from her tone that she was going to be beaten, so he ran even further and went to Bai Luochuan's house in a flash.
Mrs. Bai protected him and saved him from a beating. Young Master Bai took the opportunity to ask him to sleep with her and even made the small bed for him.
Mi Yang thought about his mother's angry look, and without saying anything, he nodded and agreed.
When Cheng Qing came to Bai's house to arrest people, Mi Yang had already slept in Bai Luochuan's bed. Maybe he said he was afraid of being taken away, so the young master Bai hugged him tightly even when he fell asleep. If one of them was separated, the other would wake up and cry immediately. Cheng Qing watched through the crack of the door for a while, whispered a few words to Mrs. Bai, and did not take Mi Yang back, letting him go for the time being.
Mi Yang hid in Bai's house for a night, but was caught the next day and slapped a few times. Mi Yang felt that he was much better than he expected, probably because he had been a child for a long time and his self-esteem was not as strong as he thought. Especially when he saw Mi Zehai holding the military theory book and reading it seriously, the last bit of embarrassment in his heart also subsided.
In September of that year, just a few days after Mi Yang's birthday, Mi Zehai received good news that he was admitted to the military academy and got the first place in their division. Even the head teacher came to commend him and held a special meeting for those who got good rankings to go on stage to receive the awards. As the first place, Mi Zehai stood up straight and walked in the first place.
Mi Yang was held by Cheng Qing and looked from a distance. There were five or six people standing on the stage, all wearing big red flowers on their chests. Cheng Qing pointed at one of them and said happily: "See, that's Dad. Yang Yang must study hard in the future and get the first place like Dad!"
Mi Yang nodded and smiled happily.
First place, much more glorious than the previous one. His father will probably brag about it for decades!
When Mi Zehai was promoted to deputy battalion commander after two years of military school, Mi Yang was also old enough to go to kindergarten.
Before entering the garden, Mi Yang and Xiaobai Luochuan were taken away to get a haircut.
Xiaobai Luochuan was a little taller than Mi Yang, and his hair was a little longer, slightly covering his eyes. As soon as he entered the barber shop, he ran away: "No!"
Mrs. Bai was quick to grab his collar and hold him back, saying, "No, you have to get a haircut. Your hair is blocking your eyes."
Little Bai Luochuan didn't like haircuts. Even when Madam Bai and Cheng Qing sent Mi Yang to the first haircut place for demonstration, he just watched from the side. When it was his turn to get his hair cut, he twisted and turned in his chair. Madam Bai had no choice but to trim the length slightly and didn't dare to touch his bangs, letting him grow longer.
After Xiaobai Luochuan got down from the chair, he still looked unhappy. He went over and hugged Mi Yang for a long time without saying a word.
Mrs. Bai laughed angrily and said, "You are still feeling wronged. You didn't even cut off a few hairs."
Cheng Qing advised her: "You have made a lot of progress compared to before. You would never have entered this door before."
Mrs. Bai sighed and said, "That's because Yangyang is here, but we can't bring Yangyang here every time. Will he never get a haircut himself in this life?"
Cheng Qing laughed when he heard this.
On the way back, Xiao Bai Luochuan kept feeling itchy, scratching his neck and ears, leaving several red marks. Mi Yang held his hands, pinched a few strands of hair from his ears and neck, and blew them over, saying, "Okay, it's gone."
Xiaobai Luochuan still felt a little uncomfortable, but after hearing what Mi Yang said, he felt much better psychologically, and gradually the itching subsided.
He sat there and touched Mi Yang's hair. His hair was split 3:7, just covering his ears. His bangs were cut short, revealing a pair of round eyes. The corners of his eyes drooped a little, making him look harmless. Bai Luochuan couldn't help but touch him a few more times. Maybe he touched him for too long, Mi Yang smiled, and his eyes drooped when he smiled, like the puppy that the guard brought to him a few days ago, especially soft and cute.
The more Bai Luochuan looked at him, the more he liked him. The more he liked him, the more he wanted him to be nice to him. He no longer cared about the hair issue and sat next to him and talked affectionately about the new toy.
The next day, the two children were sent to the military kindergarten together. After entering, they put on the same bibs and smocks, and looked more like two brothers.
It's just that Xiaobai Luochuan's hair was a little longer, slightly blocking his eyes. He held Mi Yang's hand and rubbed his eyes. Mi Yang turned sideways and pushed some of the loose hair on his forehead. Young Master Xiaobai looked up and waited. Mi Yang nodded and said "OK", so he continued to hold his hand with a smile and looked around curiously. He had fair skin and big eyes, and at first glance he looked like a pretty girl.
The kindergarten teacher was deeply impressed by them. She had taken care of many children, but these two little brothers were particularly eye-catching when they came in. The older one was pretty, and the younger one was well-behaved and sensible. When sharing snacks, they were the only two who didn’t need to be fed and ate by themselves with big mouthfuls. The older brother even raised his hand to ask for two glasses of water, saying that he wanted to give them to his younger brother.
When the teacher was choosing the class monitor, he specifically chose the brother named Bai Luochuan.
But she soon discovered that the class monitor was actually a bully.
The students in their class were all children of military families. They were basically not spoiled kids who liked to play around, but there were quite a few tough ones. However, even the most mischievous ones didn't dare to touch a small mahogany horse on the toy cabinet at the back of the classroom.
The teacher felt strange at first, and she took it out twice, but at most she just touched it. Most of the children stayed away from the wooden horse.
The teacher waved them over and said, "Why don't you play with this little wooden horse?"
The children around all shook their heads. Some said "No" and some said "You can't play". But they basically said one thing in common: they all said that it belonged to Bai Luochuan.
The teacher didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This belongs to our class, everyone can play with it."
All the children were afraid to move, as if Bai Luochuan's name was written on the toy. Young Master Bai had his territory tightly bounded, and no one, including Mi Yang, could touch the toy.
This fine tradition was maintained until Bai Luochuan graduated from kindergarten. At that time, a group of little kids were following him, but the seat beside him was still reserved for Mi Yang. When playing war games, Mi Yang was never allowed to be the enemy. He always regarded Mi Yang as the little adjutant of "Commander Bai" and let him charge into battle with him.
One day, a group of kids went out to play. Bai Luochuan captured two "bunkers" in one go, and asked Mi Yang to stay at home to guard the house. He led his men to continue the charge. But not long after they rushed out, they saw a soldier running over breathlessly, shouting, "Commander! Commander, something bad has happened! Mi Yang ran away with someone!"
