Cannon Fodder's Rebirth

Room [-] of the new building was prepared to be used as a broadcasting room when the teaching building was built. There are two rooms, one large and one small.Outside, there are two sets of desks and chairs like teachers' desks and chairs, which are used for members of the editorial team to write manuscripts, and the other few scattered student chairs are for all members of the broadcasting station to sit in meetings.The small suite inside is the real studio, and all the broadcasting equipment, as well as CDs, tapes, etc. are in it.

Jiang Xi stood in front of the broadcasting room and took a deep breath.At this moment, he was indeed like a teenager, his palms were slightly sweaty from nervousness.

The person I've been thinking about is about to meet...

However, all Jiang Xi's expectations were dashed the moment he opened the door and entered.Although there were as many as 30 to [-] people crowded inside, but at a glance, it was already known that Zhong Yifan was not inside.No one came here just to meet Zhong Yifan like him, and no one would be as disappointed as he was, so it was enough for everyone to be interviewed by two girls who were the director and deputy director of the radio station in the second year of high school.

Why is it so difficult to meet each other?Jiang Xi didn't know that after Zhong Yifan's leg healed, he originally planned to be directly responsible for the interview of the broadcasting team, but at the same time, as the head of the propaganda department of the student union, he was temporarily assigned to arrange the calligraphy and painting competition exhibition venue with the staff of the propaganda department. At the moment, I am busy fixing all the entries to the wall.

The most important part of the interview was to try to read a press release, mainly to test whether the mandarin was standard and whether the speaking speed was appropriate, etc. These were of course pediatrics for Jiang Xi.More importantly, without seeing Zhong Yifan, the feeling of pretending to be a house party came back, sitting among a group of little ghosts, as if he was coaxing a group of children to play.

I really want to smoke a cigarette...

The result of the interview will be announced next week. Jiang Xi left the new high school building and went back to his dormitory, passing by the multifunctional auditorium that he had entered once during the opening ceremony. The lights were on inside, as if someone was busy with something.Already past the age of exuberant curiosity, he just glanced at it from the corner of his eye and walked over.

And inside the window, someone was holding a calligraphy work to communicate with Zhong Yifan.

"There are a lot of talents among the first-year freshmen this year! This picture will definitely win in the competition in the high school!"

"What's the name?" Zhong Yifan looked at the signature of the work while talking: "Jiangxi? The name is quite unisex, do you think it is male or female?"

"I hope it's a girl. I like girls who write beautifully."

"Be a little more serious!" Smiling, Zhong Yifan took the calligraphy work signed by Jiangxi, and read out the words on it softly: "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and you don't know if your heart pleases you. The words are well written It’s not bad, but I’m afraid it’s a bit of a disadvantage to choose this sentence from "The Song of Yue People" for the competition." I personally fixed the words Jiangxi on the wall with double-sided tape, and Zhong Yifan told the truth. The capacity is great; the wall stands thousands of feet high, and there is no desire to be strong", or "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold". Jiang Xi's writing is obviously a bit out of line with his identity as a student.

"Don't be afraid, our Principal Jiang is famously open-minded. It's just poetry, not dirty jokes."

"That's right." Nodding his head in agreement.When Zhong Yifan fixed the work and was about to ask people to see if it was upright, he was picked up by the beauty deputy director from outside to help the two students, who gasped and said that it was raining.

Hearing this, Zhong Yifan hurriedly leaned on the glass and looked out carefully, and it was indeed raindrops: "It's over! Why did it suddenly rain, my quilt is still drying on the roof and confiscated!"

Facing the serious problem of not being covered with a quilt at night, Zhong Yifan briefly explained to everyone, then rushed out of the auditorium and ran towards the dormitory building.

Due to the large number of students and the limited campus area of ​​Babu Middle School, the roof of the dormitory building was used.A three-meter-high barbed wire fence was erected around the roof, and wires were pulled up on top of each other for the students to dry their clothes.

Jiang Xi also came up to collect clothes. Although his uncle told him to take his dirty clothes back every weekend and let his aunt or sister wash them for him, Jiang Xi's age was such that he couldn't accept such kindness calmly. .What he can do, he tries his best to do it himself, and causes as little trouble to others as possible.

The boys' dormitory building is far away from the girls' dormitory building, and the distance is relatively far. Compared with the situation where the girls' dormitory building is always full to dry, the boys' side is very empty most of the time.After all, boys are mostly lazy, and most of the unpacking and washing work at the age of school is arranged by their parents.When Jiangxi came up, apart from his underwear and socks on the roof, there was only a quilt left to dry on the oblique right.It had already started to rain, and if he didn't take it away, he would get wet. Jiang Xi was hesitating whether to rush to get the quilt to the dormitory teacher, and he had already walked to the quilt.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, there was the sound of "thumb tom" footsteps from behind the quilt, and the person who came came first took it from the other side of the quilt and hugged him.

Zhong Yifan was a head taller than Jiang Xi, and only after putting away the quilt did he see Jiang Xi standing there in a state of wanting to put the quilt away.

"Hey? Is this your quilt?" Could it be that I received it by mistake?The sheets and quilts in the school are distributed uniformly. Generally, everyone will make their own marks on the quilts, but now that it is dark, it is normal to see clearly and make mistakes.But there is only one quilt left on the roof. If I really made a mistake, where did my quilt go?

The sky was getting dark and it was raining again, Jiang Xi couldn't see 100% of the people in front of him.However, he was able to be sure that it was Zhong Yifan, quite sure.

Such a sudden encounter was completely beyond his expectation, and he didn't have time to react normally, he just looked straight at his eyes dully and mechanically shook his head slowly.To be honest, this kind of expression and movement looks quite weird on the empty roof that has been completely darkened.

Knowing that he was right to take someone else's quilt, Zhong Yifan turned around and walked back quickly.The raindrops are getting denser and denser, and the quilt will really get wet after standing for a while.

Jiang Xi just stood there straight and looked at Zhong Yifan's leaving back, his mind was chaotically tumbling about the past.

Zhong Yifan's gesture of diligently opening the car door to pick up Tong Le after work, Zhong Yifan's meticulousness in picking out fishbone for Tong Le when eating, that kiss with Tong Le at Zhong Yifan's wedding, the look in Zhong Yifan's eyes when he finally lit the cigarette for himself...

Staring at Zhong Yifan's back, it felt like he was staring at Zhong Yifan for ten thousand years, as if suffering from jet lag, but in fact Zhong Yifan hadn't reached the downstairs door yet.

He didn't even have time to say a word, just watched the person go away.He yelled Zhong Yifan's name frantically in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth and couldn't make a sound until—a loud "bang" resounded from the top of the building, and the door downstairs closed.

That wasn't the sound of Zhong Yifan closing the door, it was the door closing by itself.

Holding the quilt and being unable to open the door no matter what, Zhong Yifan discovered a serious problem and was locked on the roof of the building!This thick door is very heavy, and it cannot be easily blown shut by the wind.Every day, only when the dormitory inspects the dormitory at night and finds the top floor, will they come up and lock the door, but it was suddenly closed at this time before the evening self-study. There is only one reason. Rain on the roof.

Thinking of his elementary school brother, Zhong Yifan turned around, only to find that Jiang Xi was still drenched in the rain alone.

"Hey! What are you doing there? Come here!"

It took a long time to digest Zhong Yifan's words, and then Jiang Xi tried his best to adjust himself to the normal state he should have at this age, and trot all the way to Zhong Yifan's side.

"I don't know which bastard messed with us and locked the door, so we can't go down." Zhong Yifan smashed the door again, the heavy door only made a dull sound, and no one could hear it at all.

"Huh?" Won't you go down?Can't go down the roof with Zhong Yifan?It took Jiang Xi another long time to comprehend the meaning of these words, and he seemed extremely dull.

"Why are you so stupid?" The two of them huddled together under the eaves of at most one square meter above the door to shelter from the rain, Zhong Yifan really didn't know how this elementary school boy could still be so calm. "Help me hug the quilt."

Unceremoniously stuffing the quilt into Jiang Xi's hands, Zhong Yifan rushed to the fence on the top of the building against the increasing rain, trying to call the people below to help open the door.It's a pity that it's raining so heavily, and there are very few people on campus. Occasionally, some students who just ran out of the cafeteria are running all the way in a hurry, and those who walk slowly are holding umbrellas, and they don't go to the dark at all. Look at the top of the black dormitory building.Moreover, the broadcast on the radio station has not yet ended, and there is basically no possibility that anyone will hear his cries for help.

"Looks like we'll have to wait until the evening self-study teacher finds out that he's absent and comes to us." Running back to the door, Zhong Yifan's tone was somewhat frustrated.

However, Jiang Xi's answer was a sneeze.

"Is it cold?" Taking the quilt that Jiang Xi was still hugging, Zhong Yifan unfolded it and wrapped it around him, making Jiang Xi into a rice dumpling: "Is it better now?"

Zhong Yifan's actions brought more warmth than the quilt itself, although it was clear that it was just a simple care from the senior to the junior and had no other meaning in it, but Jiang Xi still felt his heart beating rapidly.

"So introverted?" Leaning against the door as if he was bored, Zhong Yifan felt that even if the kid didn't like to talk, he had no choice but to chat with him: "Which company does he belong to?"

At the beginning, the farms of the Construction Corps were divided into production companies, and this name has always been retained.

"It's from the field department." Finally able to force himself to speak fluently, Jiang Xi's voice was trembling with excitement.

"The ones from the field department still live on campus?" If you lived so close to your home, you wouldn't choose to live on campus!That way there will never be such a thing as being locked up maliciously on the roof of a building.

"I live with relatives, and the house used to be a coal mine."

"Oh..." Zhong Yifan dragged his voice to show that he understood.His family owned a paper mill, and he had also heard from his parents that the coal mine on the farm had closed down, and many workers were distributed to various units on the farm, including the paper mill. "Then where are your parents?"

"They bought out their seniority and went to other places to find their own way out."

When Jiang Xi said this, his image in Zhong Yifan's mind was immediately transformed into a kitten whose parents went out to make a living, and he was fostered at a relative's house and often looked at coldly.Coupled with Jiang Xi's big wet eyes from being too excited, he looks more and more like an abandoned stray cat, which makes Zhong Yifan believe that this is the root of his introverted personality.

Jiang Xi didn't expect that his first impression on Zhong Yifan would be like this.Maybe the mentality when facing him is too different from that of other people. Most people think that he is polite and distant, a cold type who is not easy to get close to.Probably, only Zhong Yifan misread the meaning of his eyes on this rainy evening...
