After Chen Fei handed in the application, he returned to the dormitory.
He gently opened the door, tiptoed back to the dormitory, carefully climbed onto the bed, and just lay down when he suddenly heard Shi Jin, the squad leader on the lower bunk, ask: "Chen Fei, where have you been? Why have you been there for so long?"
?”
"I didn't go anywhere. I went out to squat in the toilet. I ate too much tonight and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable." Chen Fei lied casually, but he knew that Shi Jin actually knew that he had lied, but he didn't care. He was thick-skinned.
This is the benefit for people.
"Oh——" Shi Jin responded, turned over, and said softly: "Then go to bed quickly!"
"Um."
Chen Fei fell asleep soon after lying down, and his snoring soon started to sound softly. He had been tired for a day, and thinking that he would soon be able to participate in the training camp for the pre-preparatory squad leader, he felt happy and felt
The future is bright, so I sleep more soundly.
What he didn't know was that Shi Jin, who was on the bunk below him, couldn't sleep. He was tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep. So after a while, he simply told himself to go out for a walk. He was about to
He turned over and sat up. Suddenly, someone inside also got out of bed. He turned his head and took a look under the dim moonlight, only to find that it was Liu Fei from the class.
"Liu Fei?" When the other party came to his bedside, he called softly.
"Class... monitor?" Liu Fei was startled.
"Can't sleep?"
"Um?"
"I can't sleep either. Let's go for a walk together?"
Liu Fei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay."
Shi Jin turned over and sat up, put on his pants, took his clothes, and tiptoed out of the dormitory.
The two of them went downstairs together.
At the top of the stairs, the attendant smiled and greeted them.
"Going to the playground?" When he walked to the basketball court, Shi Jin turned to look at Liu Fei and asked.
"Okay!" Liu Fei smiled.
Liu Fei does not have a high presence in Class Three, even less present than Bai Tiejun. His training results are naturally better than Bai Tiejun's, so neither Shi Jin nor Wu Liuyi paid much attention to him;
His personality is not like that of Bai Tiejun. He is relatively calm, introverted, and reassuring. Another subtext that makes people reassuring is that no one will pay too much attention to them. The squad leader or company commander only pays attention to two kinds of people, good grades.
and those with poor grades.
Therefore, Liu Fei has been struggling in class three. His training performance is not as good as that of Bai Tiejun, but he is not as good as Gan Xiaoning. In other aspects, he is not as good as the superiors but more than the inferiors. This has resulted in the current situation that he has no sense of presence.
However, Shi Jin still liked Liu Fei better, so at a certain time last year, when the company asked the squad leaders to recommend places for squad leader training, Shi Jin recommended Liu Fei.
Shi Jin also talked to Liu Fei at that time, and Liu Fei also said that he would definitely work hard.
The two of them walked side by side towards the training ground.
No one spoke, just silent.
After walking to the training ground, Liu Fei finally spoke: "Squad leader, do you know, when I first came to the Seventh Company, this training ground was what I hated the most!"
Shi Jin smiled: "Who doesn't hate it? When I first came here, oh, by the way, I was still in the old company at that time, what I hated the most was the training ground. I don't know how many layers of skin were worn off there.
How many tears have I shed, how much sweat have I shed? The most diligent time in my life has been reserved for the training ground."
Liu Fei smiled: "Yes, the training ground is really every soldier's nightmare, but -" After sighing, he continued: "When you really want to leave, but suddenly you can't let go! Squad Leader
, do you think we people are a bit mean?" He smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.
Shi Jin turned around suddenly and looked at Liu Fei solemnly.
After being silent for several seconds, he finally spoke with difficulty: "Liu Fei, you..."
But he didn't say anything else, he didn't even know what to say.
But Liu Fei took the initiative to speak: "Squad leader, it's almost May, and my time in the army has been shortened by one month. Alas, time flies. For the first time in my life, I really feel it!"
"Liu Fei..." Shi Jin hesitated, he wanted to say you can't say that, you still have a chance, but even he himself didn't believe it, so he didn't know how to speak.
"Squad leader, you don't have to worry about me!" Liu Fei turned his head and grinned at Shi Jin: "Squad leader, you know you did my ideological work last year and told me to work hard and try to go to the division's teaching team for training this year.
, why did I agree immediately?"
"..." Shi Jin didn't answer, just looked at Liu Fei blankly.
"Monitor, I really can't bear to leave you."
"Huh?" Shi Jin was startled.
"Monitor, I'm really lucky to meet you in this life. The reason why I'm here today, I know, is all because of you. So, Monitor, you are like my big brother in my heart. I think
I will stay with you all my life, so I agreed when you did my ideological work, but..." After a pause of four or five seconds, Liu Feicai said again: "But now there is no chance!"
"Liu Fei, don't say that..." Shi Jin finally couldn't help but speak.
But his words were quickly interrupted by Liu Fei: "Squad leader, you don't need to persuade me, and you don't need to worry about me. I really thought about it and figured it out. In fact, I don't love the army as much as you do. I
The reason why I want to stay is because I can't bear to leave you, but how can we stay together for the rest of our lives? The two brothers will have to separate when they grow up, let alone us?
Squad leader, as long as we think about each other, no matter where we go in this life, we will never be brothers. So, since I don’t love the army so much, why do I have to stay? Squad leader, you use
Your personal experience tells us a truth: in this life, you must do what you like, squad leader, after I retire from the army, I can do what I like to do."
"Liu Fei..."
However, Shi Jin's words were interrupted by Liu Fei again. He smiled and continued: "Squad leader, after Chen Fei came to our class, I finally understood one thing, that is, what kind of people do the troops need? It's obvious.
, The army needs people like Chen Fei, not me! Moreover, in the army, only soldiers like Chen Fei are more suitable for survival. I..." He smiled: "Yu Gong
In private, people like me should no longer stay in the army."
Shi Jin was silent, with a thousand words in his heart, but it was as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't say a single word.
"Squad leader, can you grant me a wish?" Liu Fei suddenly raised his head and looked at Shi Jin: "Squad leader, this month, our class seems to have another business trip. Can you send me again? I have been on duty for several months.
I’ve never been on a business trip, and I really want to go there again!”
Hearing this, for some reason, Shi Jin couldn't help but shed tears. He choked and nodded: "Okay, Liu Fei, I'll send you on this month's business trip!"
