Chapter 23: Pay off June’s debt quickly!
When Yuan Guoqing came back from washing up, he saw Xu Yan massaging Luo Yifei's legs. He opened his mouth in surprise, and the face wash in his hands fell to the ground with a clang.
"Okay, since you're so good at it, Brother Fei will teach you a few more tricks." Luo Yifei waved his hands proudly, stood up from the stool, and demonstrated to Xu Yan again.
This time Xu Yan saw it clearly, and remembered all the key points and precautions in his mind. He closed his eyes, recalled silently, and then started to work. Finally, he folded it into a tofu block. Although there was still some difference compared to Luo Yifei's, it was also square and looked similar.
"Brother Fei, what do you think of how I folded it?" Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Good, you have already mastered it. If you practice a few more times, you will be able to pass the squad leader's inspection tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Fei. I'll go wash up." Xu Yan nodded. Seeing that it was getting late, people in the dormitory came back one after another and picked up their washbasins to wash up.
After Xu Yan left, Yuan Guoqing gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "A Fei, you are really good. You can actually subdue Xu Yan."
"That's right. Don't you see who my brother Fei is? It will only take a few minutes to subdue a newcomer like him." Luo Yifei said proudly. He was really out of breath when someone said he was fat.
"What's going on?" a comrade who came later asked curiously.
"A Fei subdued Xu Yan and just asked Xu Yan to help him massage his legs!"
Yuan Guoqing recounted what he had seen before, which unsurprisingly caused an uproar.
"No way!"
"Xu Yan is massaging Ah Fei's legs, did I hear that correctly?"
"That guy is not a pushover. He even dared to contradict the squad leader. He doesn't seem like someone who would easily give in. I think there is something fishy about this. Is there some conspiracy?"
Seeing everyone talking about it, their expressions of surprise were beyond words, Luo Yifei said with a smug smile: "Don't let your imagination run wild. That kid is so skilled that he can't get out of my control."
"Don't be too proud too soon, or you may end up in tragedy," Yuan Guoqing reminded.
Hearing what everyone said, Luo Yifei also had some doubts. According to Xu Yan's previous performance, he should not have given in so easily. Now that he suddenly bowed his head and gave in, there was most likely a conspiracy. But what exactly the conspiracy was, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he could only secretly be careful and guard against it .
The night passed quickly and nothing happened until the next morning. Just when Luo Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and thought that things were over, a conflict broke out in the most unlikely place.
It was still the end of breakfast, and time for the new recruits to go back to the dormitory to rest. Luo Yifei inadvertently glanced at Xu Yan's bed and found that although his quilt was folded neatly, one side was longer than the other, which looked a little awkward. This made his heart skip a beat, and a bad feeling came over him.
As soon as this thought came to mind, squad leader Sun Xin, who came in later, also noticed this scene. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xu Yan, is this how you fold the quilt?"
"Yes!" Xu Yan nodded, and according to Sun Xin's instructions, he took the quilt down from the upper bunk and placed it on Jiang Danian's bed below, saying, "That's what Brother Fei taught me."
Luo Yifei was so angry when he heard this that he hurriedly explained, "Squad Leader, don't listen to his nonsense. I taught him according to the standard and told him that the two ends of the quilt should be the same length, otherwise it will be easy for one side to be longer and the other side to be shorter. He folded it well yesterday!"
"Is that so?" Sun Xin looked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan shook his head blankly and said, "Really? I don't remember. Maybe Brother Fei said it when I was massaging his legs. I don't remember it!"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yifei knew something was wrong. He glanced at Sun Xin, but saw that he was looking at him with a stern face and said, "Luo Yifei, you are living a comfortable life. Let the newcomers massage your legs. I, the squad leader, have never enjoyed such treatment..."
"Squad leader, I..." Luo Yifei felt like crying.
"Don't be so tactful. Just run five laps around the playground." Sun Xin said in a low voice. When Luo Yifei was walking out with his head drooping, he said to Xu Yan who was secretly proud of himself, "And you, the same goes for me."
"Squad leader, this is not my fault."
"You have eyes to vent your anger. Can't you see that the quilt you fold is different from others?" Sun Xin scolded and also drove Xu Yan to the playground.
The two brothers left the dormitory together and ran laps on the playground.
"Xu Yan, what do you mean? Why did you frame me?" Luo Yifei stared at Xu Yan and questioned while running.
Xu Yan was also a bachelor, and he admitted generously, "Who told you not to teach me how to fold the quilt honestly? Let me tell you, it's not that easy to take advantage of me. If I don't make you pay me back double for what you did to me yesterday, I wouldn't be called Xu Yan." After saying this, Xu Yan accelerated and overtook Luo Yifei, leaving him with a dashing back.
After running five laps, the two stopped panting. Xu Yan was in excellent physical condition, so five laps was not a big problem for him. He was just a little out of breath. Luo Yifei was a little behind him and was gasping for breath.
"This time it's five laps. If you still can't fold it well tomorrow, I will punish you to run ten laps. " Sun Xin warned.
Xu Yan agreed with his head lowered, while Luo Yifei glared at Xu Yan fiercely, blaming him for implicating himself. What he didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
After the training that day, Xu Yan changed from his enthusiastic attitude yesterday. He crossed his legs, leaned on the table, whistled proudly, and looked relaxed and comfortable.
Compared to his relaxation, Luo Yifei's face was a little solemn, because the way Xu Yan folded the quilt tomorrow morning would determine whether he would be punished. Running ten laps as punishment was a lot of exercise for him. On top of the intense training, if he was punished to run ten laps again, he would be sad the whole day tomorrow.
His expression changed for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Luo Yifei couldn't help but say, "Xu Yan, don't be idle, hurry up and practice folding the quilt, otherwise you won't pass the inspection tomorrow and the monitor will have to punish you again."
"I've been training for a whole day. My back and waist are sore, and my shoulders are a little sore. If no one massages my shoulders, I'm afraid I won't be able to lift my hands and perform the movements in a standard way." Xu Yan glanced at Luo Yifei and said with a curled lip.
Yuan Guoqing and other comrades in the same dormitory heard the conversation between the two and noticed that the atmosphere was wrong. They exchanged glances and discussed in low voices.
"what's the situation?"
"I don't know. It sounds like Xu Yan is controlling Luo Yifei."
"Wasn't Xu Yan subdued by Luo Yifei yesterday?"
"Subdue him, what the hell? Xu Yan is just a troublemaker. Even the squad leader couldn't subdue him, let alone Luo Yifei. I knew yesterday that it wouldn't be that simple. I was right, right? This time, it's going to be fun."
Everyone winked at each other and looked at Xu Yan and the other person.
But Luo Yifei stared at Xu Yan angrily, suppressing his anger and saying, "Don't go too far. If you don't fold the quilt properly, not only will I be punished, but you will also be punished."
"Whatever, it's just ten laps, I don't care." Xu Yan curled his lips and stretched lazily, yawned deliberately, and said, "I've been training for a whole day, I'm really a little sleepy."
Luo Yifei couldn't do anything to him, and he didn't have his abnormal physical strength, so he compromised unwillingly, "What do you want me to do to fold the quilt properly?"
"Give me a massage of my shoulders!" Xu Yan stopped pretending to be sleepy and his back ached when he heard this. He sat down on the stool with his arms and legs clenched. Seeing Luo Yifei's expression change, he raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Massage them quickly. Do you want to be punished by running ten laps tomorrow?"
