under the tower

He didn't sleep all night.

As a result of not falling asleep, Ji Xi arrived at the training ground the next day earlier than Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda. At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the hazy light came out from the edge of the clouds, glowing with fantastic and beautiful light. With the smell of plants and water vapor, it was a bit cold, and the entire training ground was empty, and the only thing that accompanied him was the sound of birds singing in the early morning.

Ji Xi sat in the corner of the stands, his figure hidden in the dark light of early morning.

After a while, he saw that very familiar figure coming from a distance. He was wearing a camouflage military uniform and a hat. Is the dream lover of every girl.

Ji Xi thought, no matter how angry he is with him, he still has to admit that this man is so handsome that his legs are weak.

Really worthless.

Yan Yi stood still in the center of the training ground, and then began to do simple warm-up activities. His eyes stopped for a second on Ji Xi in the corner, and then he calmly looked away as if he hadn't seen this person at all.

The look in his eyes gave people the feeling that there was just an extra stone out of thin air in the corner of the stand today, and there was nothing to care about at all.

Sitting in the corner, Ji Xi also looked away on purpose, he pursed his lips tightly and kept silent, his whole posture was like a moldy mushroom.

Soon, Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda also arrived together. They didn't expect Ji Xi to come so early, and they were really surprised.

"Vice Lu, good morning!" Chen Guangda warmly greeted Ji Xi while nibbling on the meat bun in his hand, and asked strangely, "Why did you come so early? Are you still sitting on the ground?"

Ji Xi stood up, patted his pants, and said with a smile, "You guys are early too. I didn't count the time today, so I came early."

Wang Cheng said politely, "Have you had breakfast?"

Ji Xi shook her head.

"Then shall I buy some for you?"

"Is there a canteen near the training ground?"

Wang Cheng nodded: "After the morning training, the recruits will be arranged to have breakfast together. It's right next to them. There will be more people at that time. We usually finish eating before they finish, so that we don't have to queue up."

Ji Xi: "Then I'll go by myself. I won't bother you to make a trip."

Wang Cheng said, "Okay, let me pass the location to your smart assistant."

Ji Xi went to buy breakfast alone.

Chen Guangda looked at his back and wondered. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ji Xi was in a very bad mood today, and his state was also extremely sluggish. He didn't understand why his boss had such a big change after only one night.

Wang Cheng approached, apparently thinking the same thing as him: "Hey, what happened?"

"I don't know." Chen Guangda said, "But it shouldn't be because of the two of us."

Wang Cheng smiled: "I thought it was our document. The boss studied hard all night, so he was in a bad mood."

"What are you thinking?" Chen Guangda rolled his eyes at him, "I guess he didn't look at it at all."

Wang Cheng: "Make a bet?"

"Who will bet with you?" Chen Guangda said in a dull tone with a sleep-deprived face, "Let's go, training is over."

Ji Xi bought potato shredded egg pancakes and a bag of still warm sweet soy milk in the cafeteria of the training ground. Because of lack of sleep, his stomach was not very well, and he couldn't eat anything for a while.Holding the straw of soy milk in his mouth, he slowly swayed back to the training ground.

When he arrived, everyone had already arrived, and Wang Cheng had gathered them together, and started running in the morning after reporting the number.

Ji Xi was sitting on the stand, Chen Guangda got him a chair from somewhere, and Ji Xi sat down graciously—he was half dead from exhaustion, half lying there like a salted fish, watching the group of living creatures Vigorous, energetic recruits train in front of themselves.

Because it was morning exercise, there were no particularly high-intensity events. A team of people ran side by side around the edge of the training ground square, shouting slogans while running.

Ji Xi was sipping the soy milk - the bag of soy milk was completely cold, and he was still drinking it in small sips.

He was already full after drinking the soy milk, and he had no appetite to eat the omelet. The omelet was also cold, and it didn't look very tasty. Ji Xi looked around for the trash can.

The three-kilometer morning run soon ended, and the recruits automatically returned to the team, arranged in a neat rectangle.

Ji Xi came down from the stands, and there was a trash can directly below. He casually threw the empty soy milk bag and the whole untouched potato shredded omelette into the trash can.

All eyes were on him, but no one spoke.

Wang Cheng blew a sharp whistle, began to shout the number, and entered the next link - squatting.

Ji Xi walked over and patted Chen Guangda on the shoulder: "Guangda." He said, pointing his fingers lazily in one direction, pointing at Yan Yi in the team, "Did you see the tallest person?"

Chen Guangda nodded and asked knowingly, "What are your orders?"

Ji Xi: "Call him to me, and do it in front of me, so as not to fish in troubled waters."

Chen Guangda thought to himself that this person's movements are so standard, he looks like fishing in troubled waters, but he still respectfully said without any objection: "Understood."

Ji Xi watched as Chen Guangda walked to Yan Yi's side and brought him in front of him.

Yan Yi stood upright in front of Ji Xi, his gaze was like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves: "Are you looking for me?"

Ji Xi sat on the chair with his legs crossed. He smiled coolly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Do squats, don't stop without my order."

Yan Yi looked at him, didn't say anything, then silently began to squat down, then stood up straight, and squatted down again.

He kept squatting down and standing up again, every movement was in place and standard, his body rose and fell at a constant speed, and his breathing was not even at all disturbed.

Ji Xi squinted at him.

After a long while, Wang Cheng's chanting had stopped, and the large drill team returned to their military posture. In the entire training ground, only Yan Yi was still doing squats non-stop, because Ji Xi didn't tell him to stop.

Wang Cheng disbanded the large team and asked them to return to the team after breakfast within 15 minutes. The recruits on the training ground quickly dispersed, but Yan Yi still did not stop.

Chen Guangda reminded Ji Xi in a low voice: "Vice Lu, it's time for dinner, and the others have already left. Look... this person..."

Ji Xi glanced at him: "Understood."

He raised his hands high and made a stop movement, Wang Cheng immediately signaled Yan Yi, Yan Yi then slowly stopped, squatting for a long time is a movement that consumes a lot of energy and lower limbs, Yan Yi's forehead has already hung He was covered in sweat, but even so, he still stood in a perfect posture, every time he took a breath, he was very restrained, without any superfluous expression on his face, his demeanor was dignified and calm, just like a natural soldier.

Ji Xi looked at him from top to bottom, and if there was any substance in his eyes, he said leisurely after a while, "Do you know why you were punished?"

Yan Yi didn't speak.

Chen Guangda reminded sharply from the side: "The officer asked you something."

Yan Yi muffled his voice, cherishing words like gold: "I don't know."

Ji Xi smiled, and said meaningfully: "It's impolite not to say hello when you see the officer." He casually played with the broken hair on his sideburns, "This time is just for you to remember, if there is another time ..." Ji Xi's gaze fell directly on Yanyi's face, and he said with a heavy tone, "...then you get out of the army."

"—remember?"

Yan Yi stared at Ji Xi, and forced out a few words: "Remember."

Ji Xi smiled with satisfaction, waved to him, and acted like a good-looking little guy who got a bargain: "Okay, you go to eat, remember to come back on time."

After tossing Yan Yi one by one, Ji Xi's mood improved a lot.

After breakfast, there is a step-by-step training. Cross-country with heavy loads needs to go to the specific multi-obstacle track area in the south corner. Ji Xi is not happy to follow, so he borrows an electronic screen from Chen Guangda and sits alone in the shade of a tree beside the H3 training area. I haven't read the file from last night.

The army actually arranged an office for him, with company leader Huang, right across from Lao Huang's desk, but Ji Xi didn't want to go and smell that guy's smoke.

The weather in Beicheng is good these days, neither hot nor cold, occasionally there is a breeze blowing, under the shade of the trees, the sun fragments fall on the face, there is a little gentle warmth, it feels like a pair of warm hands on the top of the hair Caressed, making people narrow their eyes unconsciously and comfortably.

Ji Xi looked at the words in front of her, and unconsciously became sleepy.

It was about ten o'clock when the big troops returned from cross-country training. Ji Xi was leaning against a tree trunk, and the electronic screen fell to the ground. He had been anxious all night and had dark circles under his eyes. He was sleeping soundly at the moment without being disturbed at all.

Of course he missed the whispers of the recruits in the ranks.

"Look...is that our deputy company commander?"

"Yeah, it's broad daylight, is he asleep?"

"It's great to be an officer. We're training hard, and we're as tired as a dog. He can sleep here..."

"Dude, don't tell me, I really think that Boss Lu and us are in two worlds. He just sleeps there, and it makes people..."

Yan Yi's eyes stayed in Ji Xi's direction for a short moment, the meanings in it were complicated and difficult to understand.

Ji Xi still drooped his eyelashes peacefully, his fair face was sprinkled with a faint golden halo, which made his skin seem transparent, and he blended with the soft sunlight and green trees around him. This scene was peaceful and peaceful like a scene from the Garden of Eden portrait.

Wang Cheng blew his whistle and shouted, "Quiet!"

Everyone immediately shut up.

Ji Xi slept quite well this time. In fact, he could vaguely hear the noise around him later, but he still didn't want to wake up consciously.

At noon, before the dissolution, Chen Guangda came over to call Ji Xi.

"Vice Lu." He gently patted Ji Xi's shoulder, "Are you awake? It's almost time for us to have lunch."

"Wake up." Ji Xi slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "The weather is good, I'm lazy."

Chen Guangda also smiled understandingly.

Ji Xi stretched his waist and stood up with Chen Guangda's hand. He was wearing a black casual suit today, with two buttons on the top of the black gray shirt, revealing the snow-white neck and half of the delicate collarbone that has not seen the sun all year round. The indigo tie hangs loosely around the neck, and the fabric of the unique material has a soft pearl-like luster under the light-Master Ji is doing a good job, this whole outfit was just ordered from the smart assistant yesterday.

A few verdant leaves fell on the suit, Ji Xi raised his hand and waved them casually, perhaps because he had slept, Chen Guangda found that the strong gloomy aura around him in the morning had almost completely dissipated, and he was back to yesterday When we first met Chief Lu, he was indifferent and dignified, as if even the soles of his leather shoes would not be stained by ordinary dust.

Ji Xi walked back to the sun and stood beside Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng was talking about the training situation this morning. Ji Xi signaled him with his eyes.

Wang Cheng quickly finished speaking and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Ji Xi nodded, facing everyone's eyes, said briefly: "Everyone has worked hard, I invite you to dinner today."

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately on the training ground.
