The real fortune is not lost, change the start to train the dog

Chapter 548: On the Shelf Life of Boys

Ignoring orders and military discipline during a review can be a serious or minor matter.

Every year there are some stupid troublemakers among the new recruits, and there is never a shortage of provocateurs.

The best way to deal with them is to fight violence with violence. No matter what you are dissatisfied with, take you to the training ground and give you a good beating.

After that, I combined it with high-intensity training to burn off my physical strength. Needless to say, all the bad habits were overcome in less than three days.

Although Qin Lingzheng usually behaved in a capricious and unruly manner and had his own style and personal characteristics, he had never openly disobeyed military discipline.

If a kid from a big compound can't even follow the simplest rules, then he shouldn't bring shame to his family.

Of course, the premise for doing so is that they are not deliberately making things difficult for themselves. If they encounter an unscrupulous instructor without moral integrity, the children from the compound are not spineless and naturally cannot sit and wait to die.

Qin Lingzheng had never encountered such a moron in the five years since he came out, so he had never taken the lead in causing trouble.

Every time he stood at attention, executed orders and carried out tasks, he was always the most standard and active one. He received many praises for this and was selected as a model soldier many times.

Therefore, no one present had expected that Qin Lingzheng would blatantly ignore orders three times during such an important review today.

The instructor who issued the order felt not only angry at being ignored, but also deeply worried that the situation would get out of control.

Making children run laps as punishment is also to enforce strict military discipline. Another purpose is to punish children behind closed doors, which means "I've punished you, so you can't punish me again."

In fact, it is still maintenance.

Anyway, it was only five laps, less than half of the usual training. For Qin Lingzheng, running the whole lap was easy.

Seeing that he finally came back to his senses, stopped making trouble, and ran laps obediently to receive his punishment, the instructor also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the leader on the other side also stepped forward to smooth things over:

"He's been training hard lately and he's just been injured, so he might still be feeling a little unwell."

Bai Ou smiled and said, "It's okay to train him more. Don't worry, we won't say a word. If he dares to disobey, you can..."

The sound of conversation was carried behind him by the air flow. Qin Lingzheng ran half a circle and when he reached the other end of the playground, he turned his head again to look in the direction of Bai Yuan.

She's still there.

Still looking at me.

Feeling a little relieved, Qin Lingzheng kept his eyes fixed on her, and despite the scorching sun and the feeling of the glue on the soles of his shoes almost melting, he began to advance to the second circle.

When he went around to the other end of the playground again, he turned his head to look at Bai Yuan and found that she had looked away at some point and joined the conversation.

Qin Lingzheng's face fell instantly, and he withdrew his gaze from Bai Yuan with difficulty, with a trace of gloom in his eyes.

But before he had run two steps, he couldn't help but look up again.

Seeing that Bai Yuan still didn't look at him, he clenched his teeth, held his breath, and quickened his pace.

By the middle of the third lap, Qin Lingzheng's steps began to become heavy. Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his chin, rolled over his collarbone, stuck to his clothes, and soaked a patch of sweat stains.

The wound on his abdomen seemed to be pulled again due to the violent movement. It was very painful, but it also allowed him to realize that what was happening before his eyes was not a dream.

He lowered his head and panted, licking his dry lower lip with the tip of his tongue, and the glance that Bai Yuan had just given him popped up uncontrollably in his mind.

Past memories also emerged regardless of the occasion, the way she looked at him with a frown, the way she looked when her brows were relaxed, cold, distant, focused, and even disgusted...

He suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze was still in her direction.

Bai Yuan still didn't move, and didn't even want to turn his head.

At this moment, his heart seemed to be torn open, intertwined with pain, and it was burning with pain.

Run another lap.

he thinks.

If she still didn't look at him, he would admit it.

The fourth lap ends.

Qin Lingzheng gritted his teeth.

This circle does not count.

The last lap determines life or death.

At this moment, his chest felt like it was blocked by a ball of fire, burning him so much that he was having trouble breathing.

He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. His nose was aching and his vision was blurry, as if there was a layer of fog in his eye sockets. His steps kept moving mechanically.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that he was not running in circles, but crossing the past five years, chasing her back that would never look back, and experiencing once again the emotional journey of five years of waiting.

The emotions that had been suppressed for five years urged him to quicken his pace, as if he wanted to release all the pent-up emotions. He kept running, pulling at the memories that were about to rot, and ran under the scorching sun until his bones were about to break.

The faster you run, the sooner you can finish and reach her.

At the end of the fifth lap, he staggered, but managed to steady himself. With heavy steps as if he had made up his mind, he walked resolutely in the direction of Bai Yuan. Every step was like a struggle in a quagmire.

When passing by the commander, he stopped and suppressed his inner anxiety. Like a well-trained military dog, no matter how anxious he was, he would wait for the order before taking action.

Being stared at by Qin Lingzheng at this time was a little creepy, the commander did not deliberately embarrass him. After announcing the end of the punishment, he briefly said a few words, and then followed the instructions of the military commander just now and asked:

"The military district has received a transfer, and the central government wants to transfer you back to Beijing, you——"

"I'll go back." Before he could finish, Qin Lingzheng made his position known. As if he was worried that both sides would go back on their word, he said again, "I accept the transfer and will obey my superior's orders."

commander:……

Military Region Chief: ...

That's not what you said before!

They also didn't expect that after many people had taken turns to use both soft and hard tactics and do ideological work, and had been persuading him for almost a year, he still refused to cooperate. No one's words were of any use. It seemed that Qin Lingzheng, who was determined to take root in this land and not leave, suddenly changed his mind so quickly.

The confident crowd looked at each other for a moment and almost forgot to make any follow-up reactions.

Faced with the unexpected situation, the commander looked at Qin Lingzheng who was determined in front of him and was stunned for three seconds before reacting:

"I want to be transferred back to Beijing. Do you agree?"

"When are we leaving? Now?"

Qin Lingzheng did not answer but asked instead, as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word. There was a hint of imperceptible urgency in his seemingly calm tone.

"Dismiss, come to the office to sign the transfer letter." The commander thought that he had never seen you so enthusiastic before, so he whispered a reminder, then stood still again and shouted loudly: "Return to the team! Turn around--"

Fearing that something might happen if he was late, Qin Lingzheng wanted to slap the transfer letter on the table and get on the plane right away. But when he heard that he had to wait a little longer, the inky black light in his eyes became even darker.

After listening to the commander's order, he did not act immediately, but subconsciously looked at Bai Yuan who was standing next to the rostrum.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, seeing that she still looked out of the matter and did not express any opinion, Qin Lingzheng suppressed the urge to walk towards her regardless of everything. In order to avoid being punished and wasting time, he forced himself to look away and said in a loud voice:

"Yes!"

Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the team with the professional qualities of a systematically trained soldier, with steady steps and consistent pace, and every step was extremely solid.

Only he himself knew how tense his body was at that moment, and how much effort it took to suppress the urge in his heart that was about to explode.

After returning to the team, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had finally completed a mission. He looked towards the side of the podium again, and when he saw the white figure still standing there, the stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground.

His comrades were no strangers to the fact that he had always disobeyed transfer orders. Seeing that he suddenly changed his decision without any warning, as if he was possessed, although they wanted to ask about the reason, they could not whisper to him openly during the review ceremony.

Even if one's curiosity was so strong, as if there were countless ants scratching at one's heart, one could only patiently wait until the review ceremony was over and the formation was disbanded before going forward to find out what was going on.

The following review was nothing more than standing at attention, marching in step, completing simple commands, etc. There was no simulated combat exercise. After the leader took the lead and said a few words, announcing the decision to hold a commendation meeting in the evening, it came to an end.

As the commander announced the disbandment, the neatly arranged square formations began to loosen their structure like bees pouring out of a nest.

"Zhengzi, why did you go back suddenly?"

Once they were able to move freely, the comrades who had been holding back for a long time stretched their sore shoulders, surrounded Qin Lingzheng, and questioned him in a mixed group.

Qin Lingzheng ignored the questions from the people around him and stared firmly at the figure that had never moved away since the beginning.

He ignored the comrades who came up to him, left them all behind, and cut a straight path through the crowd.

He didn't care about other people's eyes. He walked straight to Bai Yuan and stopped, casting a large black shadow on her, which stretched very long and far.

Bai Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him whom he hadn't seen for many years. At such a close distance, he finally confirmed that his previous perception was not an illusion.

It's really big.

He is much bigger than before he went to military school.

The Qin Lingzheng in her memory still looked like a teenager in his teens, bold, unruly, and unruly, with a body shape similar to hers, only slightly taller by half a head.

It may be that boys aged 17 or 18 are still in the growth stage and their bodies are not that strong. Although they have muscle coverage, it does not look high. They are the kind of people who look thin when they are dressed but have muscles when they are undressed.

In comparison, he is similar to the current Pei Jin, and belongs to the category of beautiful boy in comic style.

But now, the man in front of him no longer looks the same as he did five years ago. He is tall, with broad shoulders, and under his military uniform are strong arms that imply vigorous power. Even though it is covered with cloth, it is not difficult to see the smooth lines faintly stretched underneath.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it all shows that this is a well-trained body that can easily carry a gun, is fully prepared at all times, and can engage in a fierce fight anytime and anywhere.

Strange, but reasonable.

In this regard, Bai Yuan thought somewhat subtly:

Will there be such a big difference in figure due to one year difference in age?

Boys develop so quickly? Is it as if they can be reborn overnight?

Pei Jin is only one year younger than him. He is still a handsome young man, and his appearance is exquisite and pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him.

Wouldn't he suddenly grow this big in a year???

On the shelf life of boys.

Well, that’s not to say it’s bad.

Being handsome is a lifelong thing, and his face did not become ugly, but just became more mature, shedding his immature and green appearance and becoming a mature adult man with adult charm.

It's just a little unexpected, and the visual impact is quite strong.

It's a bit like a puppy that is fostered in a dog training school. When you go to pick it up after a while, you are surprised to find that it has suddenly grown from a cute mango pit into a big German Shepherd weighing 80 kilograms.

For me, who only has experience in training puppies, this task is so big that I feel I don't know where to start.

The two of them stood there, looking at each other, one taller than the other, and neither of them spoke first.

Bai Yuan looked up at him for a while before finally finding some familiarity in his face. He also discovered many shadows of his adolescence hidden under his mature appearance that had not yet completely faded.

The facial features have grown, but the eyes are still the same as before, with the corners of the eyes drooping like a dog. No matter how you look at it, he looks pitiful and tearful. He looks fine at ordinary times, but when he is half crying, he seems to have suffered a great injustice, and his complaints are accompanied by cautious flattery. This kind of natural dog eyes is the easiest to make people soft-hearted.

After looking for a while, I found that the other person's eyes were a little red. Judging from the faint dark circles at the corners of his eyes, it might be that he didn't sleep well recently, or he was overworked.

Bai Yuan's gaze moved downward, passing over his tall nose, distinct lip line, and was ultimately inevitably attracted by a patch of dust that had been rubbed onto his face at some point.

After looking again and again, Bai Yuan's fingertips moved slightly. He still couldn't overcome his obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia. He raised his hand and wiped it on his face naturally, and asked familiarly:

"Are you tanned?"

The color looks very healthy, a light wheat color. It should be sunburned in the summer. It is not serious and there is no sunburn. It will recover after a while.

She said that she always felt something was wrong just now, and that the different color number made her look like a different person. After such a comparison, if she could go back to being white, she would probably look almost the same as before.

Qin Lingzheng had been looking at Bai Yuan intently, paying attention to her every move at all times, and enduring with difficulty and restraint the light glances she gave him when she glanced at him.

It felt like a feather was scratching my heart, making it itchy, and my throat felt a little hoarse.

The moment she stretched out her fingers, Qin Lingzheng subconsciously bent down, lowered his head, and moved his face closer, actively responding to her actions.

However, when her fingertips were still some distance away, he suddenly reacted, his back stiffened instantly, and he turned his face uncomfortably to avoid her touch.

The naked and undisguised gaze that had been glued to her all along now seemed to be freed and just moved away, not looking into her calm eyes anymore.

"Hmm." He lowered his head, looked at his toes, and let out a tiny breath from his nose.
