Arsenal Military Academy | 烈火军校

Chapter 6 Rejoicing Enemy

[Tan Xiaojun]

.........

The dormitory was quiet. Just after taking a shower, Gu Yanzheng was naked, sitting by the bed wiping his hair, and suddenly sneezed.
　　"Someone must be scolding me from behind!"[1]
　　Xie Xiang glanced at him. The man under the light had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, slightly thin muscles, and seemed to have such strength......His face was slightly red, and she quickly looked away. She flipped through her bag and found out. A few pills were handed to him without squinting, "Hey, you have soaked in water for a day today. It is estimated that you have caught a cold."
　　Gu Yanzheng immediately shook his head, like a spoiled young master: "I won't take medicine."
　　"Do whatever you want, I don't care."[2] Xie Xiang retracted her hand and gave him a blank glance.
　　Gu Yanzheng chuckled, covered himself with the quilt and got ready to go to bed.
　　"You will get up on time tomorrow morning, right?"
　　There was almost certainly no sound on the other side. Xie Xiang hugged her arms and frowned, and Lu Zhongxin's urging voice sounded in her mind: "If Gu Yanzheng is still late tomorrow, you can take a big bath with him!" She was shocked and confirmed, "You will get up tomorrow morning, right? If you are still late, I will take a big bath with you!"
　　Gu Yanzheng[3] turned over under the quilt, covered his head, and said dully, "It depends on the mood."
　　A fist hit the cotton, and the expression on Xie Xiang's face froze, as she gritted her teeth, "You, if you don't get up, I..."
　　After swallowing the words back into her stomach, she glanced at the pill that hadn't moved on the table, and sighed shen shen.[4]
　　It was sultry at night, so only half of the windows were closed, but unexpectedly the wind started in the morning. The heavy curtains slapped on the windows, making a muffled sound. The sky hadn't fully lit up, and Xie Xiang was already confused and woke up.
　　Turning her head to see, the bed next to it was sunken, and the snow-white quilt was rolled up in a soft and collapsed ball. Gu Yanzheng was obviously not up.
　　Holding the clothes in one hand and the army boots in the other, Xie Xiang quietly entered the bathroom. After a while, Xie Xiang, who had finished up, sat on the bed and looked at Gu Yanzheng, lost in thought.
　　Gu Yanzheng is overbearing, and if he is woken up today, he will definitely be angered. If she doesn't wake him up, she will definitely be caught by Lu Zhongxin and take a big bath today. In the balance between the two, it is self-evident which has the deterrent effect.
　　As time passed by, Gu Yanzheng was motionless, Xie Xiang frowned and said, "Gu Yanzheng, get up!"
　　She stepped forward and pushed him, and the figure lying in the quilt moved into the bed.
　　Seeing him as if nailed to the bed, Xie Xiang was a little angry, and kicked him, "Get up! I'm going to be late!" This time he finally had a reaction. Gu Yanzheng was woken up and sat up angrily, picked up a pillow with the hand and threw it over, and then fell on the bed with a "bang".
　　Xie Xiang was too late to escape, and was smashed into a straight face. She suddenly groaned and gritted her teeth, "Gu Yanzheng, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are not kind!"
　　She turned around and walked to the bathroom, and when she came out again, there was a basin of cold water in her hand.
　　"Wow!"[5]
　　Cold water poured out from the basin, and a drop was poured on Gu Yanzheng's head.
　　"Are you sick!"
　　The anger just now disappeared without a trace at the moment the cold water was poured, leaving only a guilty conscience. Looking at the person sitting on the bed with an angry face, Xie Xiang unconsciously took a step back, swallowed her saliva and pretended to be calm and said, "I, I'm doing it for your own good, you don't want to be caught and take a big bath, right?"
　　Gu Yanzheng squinted his eyes, and looked at her with a smile at the corner of his mouth. What is the difference between his appearance and taking a big bath? Seeing his expression, Xie Xiang panicked suddenly. With her understanding of him, Gu Yanzheng was already on the verge of an explosion. Xie Xiang opened the door of the room and ran outside, but she had only stretched out her arm, and was grabbed by Gu Yanzheng who jumped out of the bed and pressed her to the ground.
　　"Huh? Still want to run?" Gu Yanzheng framed her body and raised his fist to strike her. Xie Xiang hurriedly put her hands on her chest to resist, and the two of them came and went, fighting in a ball across the corridor.
　　The door of the dormitory next to it was opened, and Shen Junshan, who was neatly cleaned up, walked out. He did not squint, raised his feet, stepped, and stepped over the two of them. The whole movement was done in one go, as if he hadn't seen the two lying on the ground.
　　 "Excuse me." The cold and steady voice fell, and the stiff back gradually faded away.
　　Xie Xiang and Gu Yanzheng stopped their movements, both staring at Shen Junshan's back with dumbfoundedness.
　　"Personality!" Gu Yanzheng said with emotion.
　　"I think so too!" Xie Xiang echoed.
　　A short consensus could not solve the long fight. The two of them looked at each other and continued to fight until the entire dormitory building was empty. They whimpered and complained to each other, and hurried to the training ground.
　　Fighting with Gu Yanzheng this morning actually consumed a lot of physical energy. In addition, because of the urgent time, Xie Xiang, who had the lowest physical strength among the trainees, was left behind soon afterwards. It doesn't matter if she runs behind cleanly alone, but Gu Yanzheng is still a master of both grudges and restlessness. For a while, he hummed and ran over and knocked on her head, and for a while, he dragged her marching bag[6] and looked at her provocatively.
　　Whether it was tolerable or unbearable, Xie Xiang had a strong temper and tried her best to chase him up, punching fiercely behind him. The two of them chased each other and squabbled along the way. Unknowingly, they had surpassed Shen Junshan, who was ranked first, and turned from the tail of the crane to a far lead.[7]
　　They startled the eyes of a group of people.
　　Xie Xiang speeded up at the turn and outrun the people, and hurriedly climbed the barrier wall. Just as she was about to cross over, her leg suddenly sank and she was grabbed at the ankle. Looking down, if it wasn't Gu Yanzheng who was with that smirk, then who else. In her heart she secretly said that it was not good, but she couldn't think of a way to get out of trouble for a while, so she could only watch Gu Yanzheng pull herself off the wall and fall to the ground with her feet upright, frowning in pain.
　　"Xie Liangchen, come on!" Gu Yanzheng sitting on the barrier wall excitedly made a grimace at Xie Xiang, then turned around and disappeared behind the high wall. Xie Xiang looked at him like that, knowing that this guy was addicted to playing, and then turned down the barrier wall, and when she looked up, she found a dark shadow over her head. Instructor Song looked at them gloomily with his hands behind his back. "You with Gu Yanzheng, 500 push-ups per person! No rest until you finish!"
　　If Xie Xiang was given another chance, she would definitely not ask Gu Yanzheng to get up, even if there was a big bath? It's easier than fighting against that rival when doing push-ups.
***
　　The next morning, when the wake-up bell rang, Xie Xiang just woke up, and she was greeted by a smiling Gu Yanzheng. He was standing in front of her neatly, with a basin of cold water in his hands, and a bad premonition suddenly came to her heart.
　　"Morning, Xie Liangchen!" When the words were over, a basin of cold water poured over.
　　After a long silence, Xie Xiang's rage resounding through the clouds awakened many people who were still sleeping, "Gu Yanzheng, I will kill you!"
　　The doors of other dormitories in the corridor opened one after another, and a group of people poked their heads out and watched. The fight between Xie Xiang and Gu Yanzheng had become a topic of discussion among bored students. There are rules in Arsenal Military Academy. Fights are allowed, as long as you don't damage the things in the school, everything else will be ignored. Even so, the students still love and respect each other, a friendly, modest and peaceful situation. Only Gu Yanzheng and Xie Xiang really put this rule into practice. While brushing his teeth, Ji Jin looked at the door of the dormitory and exclaimed, "Fighting again, tsk tsk, so energetic! Good physical strength!"
　　The beautiful morning time on the weekend was destroyed by Gu Yanzheng. Xie Xiang dried the soaked sheets and went to Xiao Jun's house with her luggage.
　　After leaving the school gate, the prosperity of Shunyuan City came back in sight little by little. Various billboards were hung at the entrance of the store. The modern girl smiled at everyone on the colorful screen. The tram was loaded with customers from time to time, and occasionally people driving by new-style foreign cars swaggered past.
　　At the entrance of Xinhua Girls' School, many female students wearing red and blue checkered uniforms with the appearance of new students came out of the campus. Xie Xiang stood at the entrance. From a distance, she saw Tan Xiaojun and her classmates walking out of the school gate. Shouting: "Xiao Jun!" Unexpectedly, many female students pointed and onlookers were attracted.
　　Xie Xiang greeted her and called out again, "Xiao Jun."
　　"You finally came to me!" Tan Xiaojun saw her with surprise on her face, and trot over and hugged her.
　　Xie Xiang leaned her head on the shoulder of a good friend, finally showing a bit of unsupportable fatigue on her always calm face, and said in a low voice, "I miss you to death."[8]
　　The feeling of parting has not yet been elaborated. The interaction between the two has already caused a collective exclaim from the surrounding female students. Only then did they wake up and left quickly with hand in hand.
　　Running all the way to the street and smiling at each other, feeling that this unexpected mishap makes people really helpless. After walking around for a while, Tan Xiaojun couldn't wait to ask her, "How is Arsenal Military Academy, is it very tiring to train and live well? Who is the one in the dormitory with you? Has he discovered that you are a female? Does he doubt you?"
　　A series of questions all hit the middle of the red heart.[9] Xie Xiang remembered the torture of the past two days, and sighed bitterly for a while: "The one in the same dormitory......don't mention him to me, I'm going to be annoyed."
　　"What's the matter? Did he bully you?" Tan Xiaojun became anxious all at once.
　　Seeing this, Xie Xiang felt warm in her heart, but calmed down and changed the subject without a trace. "I'll tell you something first. Our school is on holiday. I don't want to live alone in the dormitory. Can I go to your house in these two days and live there?"
　　"Yes, it's alright, but I didn't tell my family about you going to Arsenal Military Academy disguised as a man. If you want me to keep it secret and go to my house in this suit, there will definitely be mistakes."
　　Xie Xiang also reacted, looking down at her men's clothing, her forehead sweated, "No way, what should I do?"
　　"Don't be busy, come with me, I have a way." Tan Xiaojun smiled mysteriously, pulling her to speed up.
　　After listening to Tan Xiaojun's instructions, Xie Xiang, who had changed her dress, pulled on her wig, looked at the hopeful girl in the mirror, turning her eyebrows, the familiar self seemed to be found again.
　　Tan Xiaojun was lying at the door of the fitting room, her watery eyes staring at Xie Xiang, "This is so good, I really don't understand why you can't think about it so much, don't look, you finally come out, I will take you to meet some friends. "
　　Xie Xiang said helplessly: "What friends of yours, where are we going?"
　　"Eat a big meal! The place is not far away, just across the street!" Tan Xiaojun took her out, turning her head and smiling, "High-end western restaurant, you will be satisfied with the storage."
　　Xie Xiang reluctantly followed her into a western restaurant, and the waiter standing at the door opened the glass door for them and asked graciously: "Hello, two ladies, do you have a reservation?"
　　Tan Xiaojun said: "Miss Qu booked a seat."
　　The waiter showed them the way. Xie Xiang had a bad feeling as she heard the three characters of Miss Qu,[10] and her pace slowed down, "Xiaojun, I..."
　　It's a pity that the restaurant is not too big. Qu Manting sat at a table near the window and turned her head to the side. She saw Tan Xiaojun, happily waved her hand and smiled, "Xiaojun, this way!" Then she glanced at Xie Xiang curiously, squinted her eyes and scratched her smooth cheek, as if she was reminiscing something.
　　Xie Xiang's eyes widened. Before she had time to speak, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of two tall men walking towards this side. After just one glance, she turned around in panic.
　　That is Shen Tingbai and Shen Junshan!
