single team

In Chengdu in mid-October, after an autumn rain, the sky cooled down.But for the soldiers who just returned from the snow-covered plateau, the weather is definitely not cold.Xiao Muting took off his military overcoat, and after taking a hot bath, he replaced the dirty camouflage with the army uniform he hadn't worn for a long time, tidied up and left the guest house.

The deputy commander of the theater knew that he was leading the team back and wanted to meet him.

It was already late at night when they returned from the entertainment, and the floor where the team members lived was completely silent, so they must have fallen asleep early.Xiao Muting walked very lightly, and walked to his room, but secretly felt something was wrong.

There are people inside.

It is absolutely impossible for the agency's guest house to be burglarized. Xiao Muting put his right hand on the doorknob, lifted it up after a while, and knocked on the door three times.

Soon footsteps were heard through the door, and it was obvious who was in the room.

Xiao Muting took a step back, slightly surprised, but also quite expected.

The door opened, Shao Fei was only wearing a shirt, the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, his hands were dripping wet, looking carefully, his fingers were still stained with some foam that hadn't been rinsed off in time.

Xiao Muting's eyes darkened, and Shao Fei immediately said: "Captain, you are back."

The tone was not as cheerful as before, it seemed a little more thoughtful, but it was not unfamiliar.

Xiao Muting nodded, knowing what he was doing without asking.

Shao Fei flicked his hands to his side, wiped the water and foam on his clothes, and said, "Captain, I'm doing laundry."

Xiao Muting entered the room and looked inside, the camouflage that he had replaced was gone, so he let out a sigh of relief, looked at Shao Fei with serious eyes: "You don't need to wash my clothes."

At the beginning, Shao Fei was asked to work as an orderly soldier to grind his temper. After more than half a year, Shao Fei no longer had to rely on being forced to wash clothes to grind his temper, and Xiao Muting hadn't asked him to do such a thing for a long time.He followed Xiao Muting, not only did he not look like a soldier serving the chief, but also like a proud soldier who was protected and favored by the chief.

"Let me wash it. I haven't returned to the camp yet, and I'm still your orderly." Shao Fei was a little excited, and kept rolling his sleeves higher as he spoke, as if this repeated action could relieve the anxiety in his heart. "You don't let me do anything. If you don't even let me wash your clothes, after you go back tomorrow, will you tell Team Luo that..."

Shao Fei rolled his eyes and stopped looking at Xiao Muting, "You said you don't want me anymore?"

When he said the last few words, Shao Fei's voice became smaller and smaller, and then he quietly raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Muting.

Xiao Muting's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect that when he saw through Shao Fei, Shao Fei also understood his thoughts and knew that he was going to drive him away, so at this moment, he hurried over to wash clothes.

It seems that after washing the clothes, he is still an orderly, and there is still a reason to stay by his side.

Shao Fei is a top soldier who won the "Soldier King" medal for Falcon during the joint training at the headquarters. He is also an excellent soldier who desperately intercepted terrorists at the critical moment. Such a proud child is bowing down in front of him at this moment. head, begging him not to drive him away in an almost childish way.

Xiao Muting pursed the corners of his lips, feeling the pain in his heart again.

"Raise your head up." He looked at Shao Fei, and ordered in a deep voice: "Special soldiers don't bow their heads casually."

"I'm not casual."

I just can't find any other way!

Shao Fei raised his head with eager eyes: "Captain, I want to stay by your side, I still have a lot to learn from you. You haven't taught me how to be an undercover agent yet, you said you will teach me slowly, you can't say without faith."

It can be seen that Shao Fei is trying to control his emotions, but he is still a little panicked when he talks about it later.Xiao Muting turned around and poured a glass of cold water, wanting him to calm down. The glass had already been handed out, and he took it back, mixed some hot water in it, and then handed it out again: "Have you not finished washing your clothes yet? Drink the water first." , I’ll go and clean up the foam later, wash it and hang it on the balcony, we’ll talk later.”

Shao Fei's eyes lit up, he drank a few sips of water, and quickly went into the bathroom, fearing that if he was too late, Xiao Muting would take the basin and wash himself.

Xiao Muting leaned against the edge of the table and shook his head helplessly.

This was obviously a tricky dilemma. He wanted Shao Fei to return to the Second Squadron, but Shao Fei wanted to stay, and even preemptively used what he had promised in the past to destroy his army.As a major general, he certainly wasn't someone who could command an army if he wanted to.Shao Fei was betting, and he couldn't bear to bet.

Xiao Muting glanced at the bathroom, and couldn't help but smile wryly. If the child were to say he was innocent, he would actually have some careful thoughts in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have acted just now, but if he said he was scheming, that would be nonsense.

No one would regard the act of "holding the sincerity before their eyes" as a scheming move, let alone Xiao Muting.

He was worried about how to tell Shao Fei that he would no longer serve as his orderly, and he had already predicted that Shao Fei would be sad and disappointed.Before Shao Fei suddenly came to wash clothes, he was not so determined.Now that Shao Fei came and bowed his head to him, his attitude was so soft that he almost said "please", how could he be so cruel?

Shao Fei thought about washing clothes for a long time before he came up with it.Xiao Muting knew that Shao Fei was indeed smart and extremely talented in combat, but most of the time Shao Fei was clumsy when it came to pleasing someone.Thinking of Shao Fei thinking hard about what to do for many nights, and finally thinking of running to wash clothes, maybe he was happy because he had an idea, the position of Xiao Muting's chest became soft in a mess.

Xiao Muting asked Shao Fei to continue washing the clothes just now, because Xiao Muting wanted to give both parties a time to calm down.

Shao Fei needed to suppress that impulse, so why didn't he need it.

But until Shao Fei hung up the camouflage, wiped the water off his clothes and walked towards him again, he still couldn't harden his softened heart.

But Shao Fei seemed to have calmed down a lot. This time, he no longer bowed his head, but looked into his eyes seriously, with a solemn and sincere tone, "Captain, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Muting was sitting on the armchair, and Shao Fei was sitting on the opposite bed. The distance was not too close, but it was within the range suitable for frank communication.

There were large water spots on Shao Fei's cuffs and the corner of his clothes, he calmed down his thoughts silently, and finally opened his mouth: "Captain, I have thought about what you said to me last time. Treat me well, take care of me, teach me I have so many things, and I also said that I don’t want me to be lost in future battles because of my haste—this is not because in your eyes, I am different from other soldiers, but because I am Shao Yu’s younger brother, you Feel guilty about him."

Xiao Muting listened calmly, noticing that Shao Fei was waiting for his response, and then uttered a syllable from his throat: "En."

"You can't accept my wishes, or you are not willing to accept my wishes for the time being." Shao Fei continued: "You even want to push me away on the grounds that 'my brother's sacrifice is your responsibility'."

Xiao Muting frowned, not knowing that Shao Fei had thought so much and deeply in the past half a month.

"I also hesitated and felt uncomfortable. I thought, if I still cling to you after knowing all this, how should I explain to my brother? Should I hate you?" Shao Fei paused, "But I do No, I can't hate you, I can't even do something as easy as 'stay away from you'. As long as I can see you, I'm happy, and if I can't see you, I'm not happy."

Xiao Muting held his temple with one hand, his defenses were gradually disintegrating - probably it would be difficult for anyone to remain indifferent before a frank and sincere confession.

"Later, I thought about it deeply and tried to bring you and my brother in. You are all people I know, so my guess should not be too far from the truth." Even sitting on the bed, Shao Fei's shoulder The back is also very straight, full of military demeanor, "My brother begged you to let him take the mission, right?"

Xiao Muting's eyes tightened, and his thoughts returned to the past again.

"When my brother left home, I was 11 years old. He hugged me and said that he would show me the military medals he got when he went home to visit relatives." Shao Fei lowered his voice, "He must really want to make meritorious service. For myself, and for me. Captain, you just fulfilled his wish, and any squadron leader who is the same age as you and as passionate as you will make the same decision as you."

Xiao Muting closed his eyes, the end of his eyes trembling slightly.

"I couldn't imagine what it was like when my brother died, until that day, that day..." Shao Fei clenched his fists, his voice trembling, "Until that day when I saw Xu Fei leave, it was so painful and desperate."

"But my brother must have never blamed you. He will never blame you until he closes his eyes. He will blame himself and feel sorry for me and grandma, but he will not blame you." Shao Fei looked at Xiao Muting with eyes Unusually firm, "So what right do I have to hate you for him?"

Xiao Muting's chest tightened, he didn't expect Shao Fei to say these words.

When Shao Yu lay in his arms and took his last breath, he naturally knew that Shao Yu didn't blame him, but when such words were spoken from Shao Yu's younger brother's mouth, the touch hit his heart directly.

Shao Fei paused for a moment, his chest heaved and heaved, and he continued after a while: "Captain, ever since I saw you raise your arms in front of Xu Fei that day, I have no doubts in my heart. My brother will never meet someone better than you. The captain who is more worthy of following, can become your soldier, he must have never regretted it."

Xiao Muting took a deep breath, his eyes were slightly hot.

Shao Fei stood up, walked in front of Xiao Muting, squatted down, and looked up at Xiao Muting: "Captain, I made an oath with my brother, if I also enlist in the army and become a special soldier in the future, I will be lucky enough to meet the person who helped me. To protect him, to repay him. You have no idea how emotional I was when you admitted that day that you were the one who funded me for 5 years."

Xiao Muting stared at Shao Fei blankly, the throbbing in his heart was like the greenery that is about to break through the ground after the spring rain.

"Captain, I like you, I don't want to leave you." Shao Fei said, slowly lowered his head, resting on Xiao Muting's lap, his voice was a little lower than before, "I don't have a brother anymore, you are saving me, teaching me, The person who treats me best, don't drive me away, okay? I can't bear you, and I don't want to lose my home again. "

Xiao Muting raised his hand, wanting to touch Shao Fei's hair.

But this move was too ambiguous, his brows were furrowed, and his palm barely stopped a few centimeters away from Shao Fei's head.

Maybe squatting was uncomfortable, Shao Fei moved his calf, and said again: "Captain, I know you still can't accept me, but I still want to work hard, to become your favorite soldier, and to be your most beloved soldier." people."

Xiao Muting saw that Shao Fei's ears were red, and the blush spread from the root of the ear to the tip of the ear, and quickly climbed to the cheeks and the end of the eyes.

"Captain, just give me this chance." Shao Fei raised his head and was stunned when he touched Xiao Muting's hand. He raised his eyes and smiled, then stretched his neck and rubbed against Xiao Muting's hand rubbed.

It was like being patted on the head by Xiao Muting.

Even if you have a heart of stone, it's time to soften it.Xiao Muting patted Shao Fei's shoulder, trying to pull Shao Fei up.

Shao Fei squatted without moving, his eyes still enthusiastic, "Captain, have you agreed?"

After all, unable to say any words of rejection, Xiao Muting was silent for a while, then nodded.

Shao Fei's eyes were red, and he put his forehead on Xiao Muting's knee again, and said in a muffled voice: "Captain, I played tricks on you."

Xiao Muting supported his shoulder, speechless for a while.

"I took advantage of your unbearable heart." Shao Fei said, "Because I really can't think of any other way, I really like you."

Xiao Muting pulled Shao Fei up, unable to say a single serious word.Shao Fei gave him too many surprises tonight, and finally admitted that playing tricks was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He's almost giving up all his sanity.
