Chapter 17 My Strange Comrade
"Haha, this kid is so funny!"
"My girlfriend hung up the phone a long time ago, but I'm still pretending here."
"In my opinion, whether the other party is his girlfriend or not is debatable."
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone burst into laughter, mocking Xu Yan. All their frustration and unhappiness at being cut in line turned into ridicule and laughter.
Being exposed in public, even Xu Yan, who was shameless and thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush. If an ordinary person encountered this situation, he would definitely flee and not dare to stay for a second. However, Xu Yan was not an ordinary person after all. After a brief embarrassment, he quickly recovered and turned back angrily, sweeping his disdainful eyes across everyone's faces, and shouted: "What are you laughing at, is it funny?"
"Can't I listen to it after I hang up the phone? Haven't you heard that the lingering sound lingers for three days? Even if my Miaochan hangs up the phone , the sound still lingers for a long time. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, you are a bunch of uneducated bumpkins..."
Xu Yan scolded them, spat fiercely, strode away from the team, and walked very far away without seeing anyone react. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking proudly: I'm such a fucking genius, I can even pass this test!
Sun Xin stared at Xu Yan's back, dumbfounded for a while. At first, Mo Wenyuan solemnly warned him to keep a close eye on Xu Yan, and he thought it was an exaggeration and did not take it seriously. However, after this incident, he completely changed his mind. This guy is really not an easy person to deal with. He is absolutely shameless and lazy. Even a phone call can be so colorful and dramatic. If he doesn't keep a close eye on him, he really doesn't know what kind of trouble he will cause.
"We must keep a close eye on him and not let him cause any trouble!" Sun Xin made up his mind secretly, quickly followed Xu Yan, took him back to Class 3, and asked everyone to introduce themselves to each other.
As soon as Sun Xin finished speaking, Luo Yifei, who was sitting at the door, spoke in a familiar voice: "My name is Luo Yifei, from Heilongjiang in Northeast China. Welcome to the third squad. We are all comrades in the future. If someone bullies you, just say my name, Brother Fei."
"Yes, if you encounter trouble, tell him his name. I will beat him until he vomits blood, and I will never just break his ribs." Another person joked with a smile.
"Principal, are you looking for trouble?" Luo Yifei glared.
Xu Yan looked at the two of them, and saw that Luo Yifei was not tall, and was somewhat different from the often-mentioned big Northeastern man. He could be considered a "little Northeastern man". Of course, what caught Xu Yan's attention was not Luo Yifei's figure, but his eyes. His eyes were bright and flickering. Xu Yan was very familiar with this kind of eyes, because he was like that. This Luo Yifei should be the same type of person as him. Xu Yan took a closer look, but did not take it to heart. It seemed that he had never lost when it came to tricking people!
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Xu Yan looked at the person who spoke behind him. This person's nickname was the principal. He was a little thin. He was from Ningbo, Zhejiang. His original name was Yuan Guoqing. His family was in business and they opened a kindergarten under his name, so everyone called him the principal.
Then several people in the dormitory took turns introducing themselves. There were people from all over the country, and they were all young people. They quickly became familiar with each other. Only one chubby boy sat in the corner, hanging his head timidly, and had a very shy personality.
"What's your name?" Xu Yan looked at the fat boy and asked.
The fat boy raised his head and was about to speak, but Luo Yifei spoke first: "His name is Jiang Danian, from Shangqiu, Henan. He was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he is called Danian. You can call him Danian or Fatty."
After everyone got to know each other, before they had even said a few words, it was time for afternoon training. A group of teenagers went to the playground while complaining and started their afternoon training.
This was an extraordinary training session. The only difference from the usual ones was that there was one more person. This day should have been buried in the deepest part of memory as time passed, but some things that happened later made this day deeply engraved in everyone's mind, permanently preserved in memory, and never faded with time!
Many years later, a comrade-in-arms wrote an article about this incident titled "A weird person must have weird actions, in memory of my weird comrade-in-arms."
The article was written like this: It was the second month after I joined the army, I can’t remember the exact time, a new person came to our class that day, his name was Xu Yan. At first, I didn’t feel much about his arrival, it was just one more comrade-in-arms, and I didn’t think it would have any impact on my life. It was only later that I found out that I was wrong, very wrong.
His arrival completely disrupted my peaceful military life, and made my life full of dangers, ups and downs, and uncertainties, because I never knew what would greet me the next moment...
What happened specifically was this. After everyone gathered, Sun Xin added some queue exercises because of the new member Xu Yan. He originally wanted to test Xu Yan's foundation so that he could give him targeted guidance and prevent him from dragging the class down. However, the result was far beyond his expectations. Xu Yan's movements were textbook-standard, and he easily integrated into the queue. He didn't .
This was something to be thankful for, but Sun Xin's face lengthened because of another person. It was Jiang Danian, the Henan native who was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year. He turned the wrong direction again.
Yes, you heard it right, he turned the wrong direction again. He had been in military training for more than a month, and it stands to reason that he should not have made such a low-level mistake as turning the wrong direction. However, this actually happened because Jiang Danian could not tell left from right.
Suddenly, two people appeared facing each other in the neat team. It was a new person joining the team. Sun Xin became furious and yelled at Jiang Danian, "What are you two doing facing each other? Are you dating?"
puff!
Xu Yan laughed out loud, and other people in the class couldn't help laughing as well.
"Step out!" Sun Xin shouted.
Jiang Danian walked out of the team very consciously, with his head drooped even lower.
"Why are you looking at the ground? Look at me." Seeing Jiang Danian like this, Sun Xin became even angrier and scolded him in a bad mood.
Jiang Danian shuddered, raised his head hurriedly, and looked timidly at Sun Xin, only to see him looking at him with a look of disappointment, and scolded: "I said you are a child, you can't even tell left from right, say it again, listen to my command!"
"To the left!"
"turn right!"
"turn right!"
Sun Xin shouted several commands, but after the third time, he couldn't shout any more because Jiang Danian made the wrong turn again.
Seeing Sun Xin stopped and looked at him without saying a word, Jiang Danian spoke carefully: "Squad leader, did I make a wrong turn again?"
Sun Xin shook his head and said angrily: "How can that be possible? It's the world that is upside down!"
