single team

Chapter 44

From Beijing back to Falcon Camp, the team members first took the train to Chengdu, and then waited for the team's helicopter to pick them up.The hard sleeper car was noisy, and the logistics had ordered a soft sleeper for Xiao Muting. Shao Fei ran to the soft sleeper car after putting his luggage away. He pretended to see if the captain needed his help, but in fact he just wanted to stay by Xiao Muting's side.

Compared with the noisy hard sleeper, the soft sleeper is much quieter here, and many bunks are empty. There is a middle-aged man in Xiao Muting's room. Once the suitcases are put away, he sits on a chair in the corridor to watch the scenery, and has no intention of going into the room to rest.Shao Fei seemed to have ADHD, sitting on Xiao Muting's bunk for a while, walking two steps in the narrow cubicle, touching here and there, pretending to be curious, and looking at Xiao Muting's body from the corner of his eye. cast a glance.

Xiao Muting's living in a soft sleeper this time is not out of the ordinary, and there is indeed a joint training report that needs to be sorted out.Although his military rank is high, his actual position in Falcon is not high.Squadron leader is a position to lead troops, and many things have to be done by oneself.Moreover, the training summary is not boring. The process of sorting out can also discover the shortcomings and strengths of the team members, and it is also easy to carry out targeted special training in the future.

Shao Fei was fascinated when he looked at it——Xiao Muting's camouflage has been changed back to regular clothes, an army green shirt and trousers, black leather shoes on his feet; His fingers are slender, and the muscles and bones on the back of his hand appear and disappear with the movements.

Shao Fei propped up his chin, and suddenly had the idea of ​​kissing Xiao Muting's finger.

This thought startled him too. In broad daylight, the sky is clear, and if you want to kiss, you have to wait until midnight, isn't everything quiet?

Shaking his head indiscriminately, trying to drive away this shameless thought, he raised his eyes and met Xiao Muting's searching gaze.Shao Fei was startled, could it be that he was discovered?

Xiao Muting picked up the water glass on the table, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of tea, then said with a smile, "I can't deal with it in a while, I don't have time to chat with you, and there is no place I need help for the time being. Why don't you go back first ?”

Shao Fei didn't want to go back, so he wanted to stay with a stern face. Looking at the water glass, he immediately found the place where "help is needed", "Captain, your tea is almost out, I'll help you pick it up."

Xiao Muting looked at it, and there was indeed not much left, "Be careful not to burn it."

Shao Fei took the water cup and walked towards the hot water tank at the junction of the carriages, staring at the filter in the cup in a daze while waiting in line.My grandma used to drink tea too, the worst quality Tuocha, a large piece of tea cake that costs a few dollars in the market, I broke it up and put it in a teacup when I came back, poured it into boiling water, and the room was filled with the aroma of tea.Grandma's teacup didn't have a filter. He held it and drank it a few times. The tea leaves floated up and touched his lips. It was bitter and astringent. Throw it back.

The train swayed, Shao Fei came back to his senses, looked at the teacup in his hand again, pursed his lips and thought, if there is no such annoying filter.

If there is no filter, the captain will definitely touch the tea leaves when drinking tea, so if he takes a sip now, he may touch the same tea leaves.

Does this count as indirect kissing?

Calculated!Why not!

Shao Fei tightened his fingers and laughed involuntarily, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and the joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed at all.

But when he lowered his head again, the strainer was there, and all the tea leaves were pitifully placed underneath, so there was no chance of being kissed by the captain.

Shao Fei raised his eyebrows and thought, if he had known that he would not have bought sunglasses, it would be nice to buy a teacup, that kind of shape is beautiful and expensive at first glance, but there is no filter for the teacup.

The people in front of the line got the hot water and left. When it was Shao Fei's turn, the indicator light of the hot water tank had already turned red—the boiling water was gone, and they had to wait for a few minutes.

Shao Fei looked back at the carriage, just for a short while, he already missed Xiao Muting a little bit.

This kind of mood is so wonderful, I almost fly up without blowing, my whole body is floating, my chest seems to be stuffed with a ball of soft and sweet cotton, I want to laugh at everything I see.

Soon, the orange indicator light came on, and Shao Fei took a step forward. Just as he turned on the switch, the train suddenly swayed heavily. If he hadn't reacted quickly, boiling water might have spilled on his fingers.

The aunt who lined up behind asked with concern: "Young man, is it burnt? This car doesn't know how to drive, it's always shaking. I have green ointment, come back with me and wipe it on?"

"It's not burning, thank you." Shao Fei turned his head and smiled at the aunt.The aunt was overjoyed and boasted: "The young man is so handsome. Look at your military uniform. You are a soldier, right? My son is also a soldier, but it's hard work. The last time I came back to visit relatives, I was clumsy and burned my hands with boiling water. I feel so bad..."

Shao Fei suddenly had an idea, and when he turned on the switch again, his heart sank, and he stuck his left little finger up.

In fact, it didn't really burn, and it didn't even blister, it just looked a little red.The aunt shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh, why are you so careless, young man? Come and show auntie, oh, this is so popular, come here, quickly apply the medicine."

Shao Fei withdrew his hand: "Thank you, I really don't need it, I, I have to go back now."

After speaking, go to the soft sleeper compartment.

The aunt was hot-hearted, and she missed her son who was a soldier. She chased after Shao Fei and said, "You guys really don't take care of your body at all. If you burn yourself, you have to apply medicine. Don't be polite to auntie."

Almost no one spoke in the soft sleeper car, and even if there was, the voice was not loud.The aunt howled in the corridor, and the whole car heard it.Xiao Muting came out of the compartment, Shao Fei immediately said: "Captain!"

Xiao Muting stepped forward, and his eyes fell on Shao Fei's hand: "Scalded by boiling water? Let me see."

Shao Fei quickly stretched out his little finger, but said: "No, no, it's not burned."

"Why not! You child..." The aunt didn't bother to reprimand him, and turned to Xiao Muting: "You are his chief? Hey! Then you have to tell him well, how can you not apply medicine when your hands are scalded by boiling water? 100 degrees Hey! What should I do if I get infected? Look, how hot this finger is, it's all red, and it swells up in a while!"

Shao Fei was said to be embarrassed, so he quietly glanced at Xiao Muting, only to see Xiao Muting's expression was humble, with a smile on his lips, listening very seriously.

The aunt talked more and more vigorously, Xiao Muting nodded: "Thank you, but the green ointment is not needed, I brought the medicine, so I will rub it on him. Don't worry, it will definitely not be infected."

"That's right." The aunt was satisfied this time, and patted Shao Fei's arm and said, "Listen to your chief, you must apply medicine. You children, wearing military uniforms are not afraid of being tired or suffering, and you also put the words 'not afraid of death'." 'I'm talking about it, thinking I'm a great hero. But mothers who travel thousands of miles are worried. You are not afraid of anything, but you don't know how worried we mothers are at home..."

Shao Fei was stunned, looking at the back of the aunt, a burst of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Xiao Muting took out the medicine from the suitcase, took Shao Fei's hand and looked at it, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Shao Fei shook his head. After the commotion just now, the little finger didn't hurt anymore, and even the abnormal redness almost disappeared.

I wanted to say "Auntie is just worrying about it", but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say anything.

He didn't have a mother, but he saw a deep maternal love in the ordinary middle-aged woman who meddled in her own business and yelled loudly.

Xiao Muting smiled and squeezed his little finger, he was startled and almost pulled back.Xiao Muting put the medicine back again, and said in a warm voice: "Auntie is too worried, there is really no need to take the medicine. But according to your reaction, how could you burn your fingers?"

"Ah..." Shao Fei couldn't answer now, "My... well, the car shook when it was receiving the water, and the water, the water splashed out."

"So careless?"

Shao Fei's ears turned red, he took a peek at Xiao Muting, and found that Xiao Muting was looking at him, his eyes immediately retracted like tentacles: "Because it was shaking so badly..."

"No matter how powerful you are, you shouldn't spill it." Xiao Muting's tone sank: "Stability training for nothing?"

Shao Fei felt bad, it was like lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

Xiao Muting said again: "It seems that we have to continue practicing this time when we go back."

"Oh." Shao Fei pouted, and cursed secretly, "Fuck me".

The cubicle was quiet for a while, Shao Fei lowered his head lower and lower, suddenly Xiao Muting smiled, took the water glass and said: "Thank you, Captain, for the tea."

Shao Fei was happy again.

The whole afternoon, Shao Fei stayed by Xiao Muting's side.When Xiao Muting was working, he pretended to read the paper materials, although he didn't talk much, but he didn't feel bored.

The train was about to arrive at the station, and the "nosy" aunt went back and forth, bringing a big bag of apples and stuffing them to Shao Fei, with tears in her eyes: "I haven't seen my son for a long time, he loves to eat Apples. Boy, take these apples and eat them on the road. If you can’t finish them, bring them back to the army and distribute them to your comrades. It’s good to eat more fruits. I’m getting off the car. Take care of yourself. Scruffy hands and feet."

Shao Fei's nose was slightly sour, and he looked back at Xiao Muting, who nodded silently.Shao Fei immediately supported the aunt and took the luggage from the aunt: "Auntie, I will accompany you down."

It took a long time for the train to stop at the station, Shao Fei sent the aunt to the exit, watched the figure of the aunt disappear into the crowd, and then hurried back.

There were many new passengers in the car, and the soft sleeper compartment was suddenly quite lively, but there were still no new passengers in Xiao Muting's compartment.When Shao Fei came back, Xiao Muting had already washed an apple, and raised his chin at him: "Go and wash your hands."

The apples are very sweet and crisp, Shao Fei's eyes turned red as he ate them.

Xiao Muting took all the remaining apples to wash, and handed them to Shao Fei together with the pockets: "Then go and share it with everyone, this is a mother's wish."

"Yeah." Shao Fei sniffed, and after nibbling, he threw the apple core into the trash can, walked a few steps with his pocket in his hand, then turned back, took one out of his pocket and put it on Xiao Muting's desk.

Xiao Muting raised his head, Shao Fei said: "You are also a soldier, you have to accept Auntie's wishes."

Xiao Muting smiled: "Okay."

"But don't eat, wait for me to come back. I'll be right back." Shao Fei turned around and left after speaking, squeezed through several hard-seat cars that were extremely crowded, and then returned to his own car.

The apple was snatched up. Shao Fei talked about the aunt he met in the car, and the noisy soldiers quieted down. After a while, Ai Xin cursed "Damn", some secretly wiped away their tears, and some said that they would go back this time. Just call home.

Shao Fei had no family to call, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, I'm going back to assist the captain in his work."

Having said that, there is no work that requires his assistance.

Impatiently rushing back to Xiao Muting's side, it's just because there is a nostalgic temperature there.

The apple was still on the table, with a piece of paper under it.Shao Fei took out the knife and the lunch box, sat on the edge of the bunk and sharpened carefully.

Xiao Muting turned his head, Shao Fei raised his eyes, and his eyes intertwined.

Shao Fei handed over the peeled apples, sincere and lovely: "You are the captain, you have to be special. We eat the ones with the skins on, and you eat the peeled ones. Here!"
