On the last day of military training, the morning is the school's parade performance, and each college sends a phalanx to compete. In the afternoon, there will be an exhibition match organized by each college itself. At this time, the long-awaited typhoon finally showed signs of coming.
The mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building. The whole morning, the sky was gloomy, and the strong wind blew in bursts, which made the students watching the game in the stands on the playground exclaimed one after another: "Ah, my hat wants to Fly away..." In the end, the instructor had no choice but to ask all the students to take off their hats first, arrange them neatly, and put them aside.
Lin Xian followed his classmates, took off his hat and put it on his legs, raised his head and drank a few sips of water, thinking in his heart: If it rains in the afternoon, will he still be able to do the exercises. After two weeks of hard work, everyone was trying their best to get a good ranking in the parade in the last afternoon. It would be too embarrassing if it was cancelled.
Lin Xian's worried mood lasted until the afternoon parade began. Fortunately, the sky has been overcast, but it never rained. Everything went according to the original plan, and Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
The order of appearance in parade is determined by the lottery drawn by each instructor, probably due to bad luck, Lin Xian's row, once drawn, will be the last one. When they heard the news, the whole platoon burst into flames and mourned. In everyone's impression, the first appearance and the last appearance are not good.
Shi Man is one of the day students in the third class. When standing in the queue, he has been on Lin Xian's left. After getting along for a few days, he has the closest relationship with Lin Xian. Until the first class performance was about to start, she still thought about it and couldn't help complaining to Lin Xian: "I guess the first place in our class is out of the question, the last one to appear, the judges are so tired of looking at it .”
Although Lin Xian was a little disappointed with the sequence of appearances, she figured it out quickly. Since the results cannot be changed, complaints and worries can't change anything, so it's better to be optimistic. She sat in the stands, looked at the first team that was forming a team on the playground, raised the corners of her lips, and said comfortingly: "This is called the finale appearance, and we may not be the best when the time comes, the judges will directly give us Get the highest score in the game."
Shi Man squinted at her, then narrowed his eyes suddenly, and twitched the corners of his lips to tease her: "You would think so. Tsk tsk, if you look at the beauty of your face, I believe you can outshine everyone and get the highest score."
Lin Xian raised his eyebrows and said with a funny smile: "You think highly of me, I think you can afford it." Lin Xian knew that he was not bad looking, but Shi Man was indeed very beautiful, with fair complexion, delicate facial features, and a pair of smiling faces The pretty peach blossom eyes have a three-point charm, which is different from hers.
Shi Man raised his eyebrows, with a bit of playfulness and ambiguity in his eyes, he approached Lin Xian, and whispered mysteriously: "What I'm telling is the truth. If you don't believe me, lean forward a little, turn your head ninety degrees to the right .”
Hearing this, Lin Xian leaned forward a little suspiciously, turned his head to look to the right, and at a glance, he met the eyes of several boys in the boys' phalanx in the stands next door. In the next second, she withdrew her eyes calmly, and said calmly, "Nothing." But she secretly scolded those boys several times in her heart, wretched!
Shi Man laughed, pierced her and said, "Just pretend."
Lin Xian cleared his throat, frowned and said seriously: "The parade has started, let's watch carefully."
She didn't know how other girls felt when they knew that someone liked her, would they be secretly happy, or would they be proud? Lin Xian only felt that he was full of irritability. But she knew that she couldn't say this to others, and if she did, maybe others would think that she was showing off in a different way. So, she could only pretend she didn't know and didn't care.
Lin Xian thought, maybe there is something wrong with him. She doesn't like it. People she doesn't like like her, which makes her feel troublesome and burdensome. Emotionally, she prefers to be a proactive person rather than a passive person who is forced to accept.
Finally, when it was Lin Xian's turn to get down from the stands to prepare for the practice session, the sky suddenly began to drizzle. The stands are not open-air, so the audience is not hindered, but the people on the playground are not covered by anything.
The performance of the penultimate class came to an end. The always serious but gentle instructor looked at the sky, and at the students whose faces were rainy and misty, and encouraged morale: "Persist for a few more minutes, I believe it can be over before the next university." .”
However, the weather was not good. When the broadcast broadcasted the joint formation of the third and fourth classes of finance, and when the sixth battalion and the third row entered the field, the rain suddenly became heavier and hit the third row mercilessly. All the students were stunned for a moment.
The leaders above were probably also hesitating, and did not give instructions for a while.
The instructor hesitated for a moment, then suddenly blew his whistle, and the students immediately stood at attention and stood in line. Through the misty rain, the instructor glanced at the young and immature faces of the students in the third row of the sixth battalion, and asked resolutely, "Can you persist?!"
The students were stunned for a second, and the next second, they all answered loudly in unison: "I can persist!"
The instructor was dissatisfied, and asked again: "Tell me, can you persist?!"
This time, the students let go of their voices, and said with arrogance and momentum: "I can persevere!"
The instructor was satisfied: "Okay, then let everyone have a look." He blew his whistle fiercely: "Stand at attention, look to the right!"
The reaction and tacit understanding of the students, as usual, was not disturbed by the sudden heavy rain at all.
Lin Xian was almost soaked all over his body, and his high ponytail was drooping wetly. In the torrential rain, he looked like a poor soaked chicken. But she stared firmly ahead, followed every instruction given by the instructor, and felt surprisingly high-spirited.
When the endless applause sounded like thunder on the playground, and everyone was moved by the persistent spirit of the sixth battalion and the third row, Lin Xian suddenly felt a little lonely again.
It would be great if Xiao Wanqing saw it too. She remembered that on the first day of military training, Xiao Wanqing smiled and praised her for being handsome, and took pictures of her. She believed that all the movements of her just now were perfect, which was worthy of Xiao Wanqing bending her eyebrows, praising her again, and being amazed by her.
Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. They, who were performing in the heavy rain, won the first place in the performance unexpectedly and reasonably.
At that time, Xiao Wanqing was preparing for a meeting in the conference room. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she saw the heavy rain pouring down outside the window, crackling ferociously, and feared that it would not stop for a while.
She frowned slightly, and took out her mobile phone worriedly, fearing that it would be inconvenient for Lin Xian to answer the phone, so she just sent her a text message: "Is the parade over? Did you get caught in the rain? If it's over, don't use it without an umbrella." Go home in the rain, wait a moment, I'll pick you up after the meeting."
When Lin Xian received the text message, it was after the group photo was taken, and everyone dispersed and went back to the dormitory to change clothes. After Shi Man finished the parade, he told Lin Xian that her sister was driving to pick her up, and asked Lin Xian if he wanted to go together? Lin Xian's clothes were so wet that a bucket of water could be wrung out. A few acquainted classmates in the dormitory invited Lin Xian to go to their dormitory to scrub and change a T-shirt. Lin Xian thought for a while, but still rejected Shiman's kindness, and decided to go to the classmate's dormitory to borrow a dry T-shirt and go home by herself. She was not sure whether Shiman was on the way, and she was sorry to trouble her too much.
When she saw Xiao Wanqing's concerned text message, she was still on her way to her classmates' dormitory, and her eyes could not help but smile. She looked at herself, and there was no dry part of her body. She thought for a while, and then replied the text message: "It's okay, don't pick me up, I'll just go back by myself. Don't worry, it's not raining, I'll just borrow an umbrella."
With the heavy rain outside, it would be too troublesome for Xiao Wanqing to take a long way to come here. Besides, when driving in rainy days, the unsafe factors intensify, and Lin Xian also feels uneasy. So, she decided to tell a small white lie and rejected Xiao Wanqing's kindness.
However, even though she had changed into a dry T-shirt and blow-dried her hair, her underwear and trousers were still wet. She was anxious to let Xiao Wanqing go home in one step, rinse and destroy the corpse. So Lin Xian stood at the door of the dormitory building for a long time when he couldn't borrow an extra umbrella. Seeing that the rain was much lighter, he prepared to rush out in the rain. Suddenly, an umbrella was delivered to her eyes.
"Lin... Lin Xian, didn't you bring an umbrella? Here you are." The voice was a clean youthful voice with a slight magnetism, and the tone seemed a bit shy.
Lin Xian looked at the sound, and the first thing he saw was a big broad hand, delicate and fair, with five fingers that were long, but the knuckles were very thick and uncoordinated. Looking up along the hand holding the umbrella, Lin Xian recognized that it was one of the few boys who were staring at her from the stands just now.
She took a fixed look at the boy, closed her eyes, and refused in a flat voice: "Thank you, no need." After finishing speaking, she opened the military training jacket she had changed with both hands, put it on top of her head, and raised her feet. Step forward, rushed into the rain.
While running, another hand involuntarily appeared in her mind. The five fingers were as long as green onions, and the nails were neatly manicured. It was as gentle and delicate as her whole person.
While waiting for the bus, Lin Xian stretched out his hand, looked at his own hand, and thought about the boy's hand just now, even Zhou Qin's hand, Shi Man's hand, and suddenly gave birth to a kind of hand that no one can match. Aunt Xiao's feeling.
On the bus home, Lin Xian couldn't help shivering from the cold, and sneezed several times in a row. As soon as she got home, she found that Xiao Wanqing hadn't come back yet. Before she had time to take a sip of hot water, she rushed into the bathroom, washed her hair and took a shower. Before she had time to dry her hair, she hurriedly washed her soaked clothes, neatly and perfectly ruined Dead bodies.
On heavy rainy days, everyone is in a hurry to go home, and when they are in a hurry, things are easy to happen. Xiao Wanqing got off work half an hour earlier, and drove home almost in a traffic jam. When she got home, she was half an hour later than usual.
She frowned slightly, rubbed her temples wearily, and took out the key from her bag to open the door.
Lin Xian had already dried her hair and was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she heard the sound of the anti-theft door, she immediately jumped up and ran to the entrance to meet Xiao Wanqing.
As soon as Xiao Wanqing opened the door, she saw Lin Xian's bright and bright smiling face, and said sweetly, "Aunt Xiao, you're back." In an instant, she felt warm in her heart, and the chill and exhaustion all over her body disappeared. She stretched her brows, softened her eyes, and responded to Lin Xian: "Well, there is a traffic jam on the road, and it's a bit late to come back, are you hungry?"
Lin Xian reached out to take Xiao Wanqing's umbrella, put it away, shook his head, and replied with a smile: "I'm not hungry, I accidentally ate too much at noon."
Xiao Wanqing smiled slightly, closed the door, looked at Lin Xian carefully again, and said worriedly: "Did you take a shower? Did you get caught in the rain when you came back
Lin Xian grinned, with red lips and white teeth: "Of course not. I borrowed an umbrella from a classmate to come back."
Xiao Wanqing looked around, but she was skeptical: "What about the umbrella?"
Lin Xian was slightly taken aback, and quickly reacted: "We drove all the way, and her house was right in front. In fact, we only had an umbrella, so she sent me back first, and then went back with the umbrella." Xiao Wanqing's doubts did not continue to entangle on this issue. Lin Xian first stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Wanqing's cold hand, and then clasped Xiao Wanqing's five fingers with an inch. They interlocked and said with a smile: "Look at my hand, isn't it It’s warm and it’s really not raining.”
Xiao Wanqing was caught off guard by her hand, and her conditioned reflex was to pull it out lightly. The next second, she saw Lin Xian's green and bright face and crooked smiling eyes, but she gradually relaxed and let Lin Xian Holding her hand, feeling Lin Xian's body temperature.
Xiao Wanqing couldn't remember how long she had been without this, so she relaxed and let others hold her hand tightly. She almost forgot that when the fingers of both hands were tightly intertwined, she felt it carefully, and the touch turned out to be so solid and warm.
Lin Xian actually vaguely knew that Xiao Wanqing didn't like such intimate contact, but she actually enjoyed such contact with Xiao Wanqing very much. However, unexpectedly, she felt that Xiao Wanqing seemed to hold her hand slightly back. She heard Xiao Wanqing's warm and pleasant voice, with a slight joyful smile, she definitely answered her: "It's warm."
She raised her head in surprise, looked straight into Xiao Wanqing's clear eyes, and saw that there was a small self in Xiao Wanqing's eyes, with a bright smile in her eyes. And Xiao Wanqing in her eyes, just like herself, with rolling eyes and a sincere smile.
