Chapter 55

Shao Fei ran for a long time, with the sound of the wind and the violent panting from his lungs mixed in his ears.The hot air he exhaled condensed into a white mist, tears rolled down his cheeks in big drops, the world in front of him was gradually distorted, pinched into an appearance he didn't recognize.

He didn't slow down until he was sure he had run out of Xiao Muting's sight, and walked forward aimlessly.

Running too fast, after stopping, the feeling of lack of oxygen almost shattered the chest cavity.He pressed his chest hard, struggled to adjust his breathing, his whole face turned pale, and when he knelt in the snow with weak legs, a chill spread from his knees to his whole body.

He wiped away the tears on his face and whispered, "Don't cry, what are you crying for, you're useless!"

He wanted to stand up, but he was exhausted from running just now. He struggled for a while, then knelt and sat on his calf, and soon after, he also fell down and was buried tightly in a ball.

It seems that this will make me feel better, my heart will no longer be beating uncontrollably, and my blood will no longer make strange roars.Close your eyes, don't want to hear from Xiao Muting, don't want to think about what your life will be like if your brother is still there.

He uttered a low whimper, which was blown away by the cold wind, and no one could hear it because of the vastness of the world.

After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, the impact of strenuous exercise on the body slowly subsided.Shao Fei propped his hands on his knees, straightened up, and took a while before standing up.

There was melted snow on the camouflage pants, as well as on the elbows and chest. Some of the snow had soaked into the skin, which was cool and uncomfortable.

The small building of the border guards is not far away, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to walk back slowly.But Shao Fei didn't want to go back.

His eyes may still be red, and his expression may be miserable.He sighed, walked a few steps in the direction opposite to the station, and stopped again.

Uncomfortable, uncomfortable all over.The eye sockets were scorching hot, and the cheeks, ears, and chest were also hot, but the hands and feet were cold and numb.

After hesitating for a moment, he found a place with thicker snow, squatted down and dug a small hole the size of a palm, then lay down in a push-up position, and buried his face in the small hole.

Trying to breathe in the pit, the cold air entered the lungs, the face was burned by the ice, and it was hard to tell whether it was hot or cold.

Snow push-ups were a high-altitude training event when I participated in the Falcon selection. I buried my face in the snow, cold and obstructed breathing. It was a strict and effective special training method.

But Shao Fei has no intention of practicing more now, he just wants to calm himself down as soon as possible, so as not to be red-eyed when he returns to the team.

But after lying on the ground for a few minutes, I still couldn't calm down. Not only that, tears also slipped out of the corners of my eyes inexplicably and seeped into the snow.

He grasped the crushed snow tightly with both hands, moved his lips, and called out softly: "Brother."

It's been a long time since I shed tears when I think of Shao Yu, and I can't hold back the tears when I say "Brother".

On this plateau where the oxygen content is less than 60% of the plain area, every breath is precious. Shao Fei sobbed softly, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and his head became more and more swollen.

Before fainting, he knew that someone hugged him, and in the last ray of light, he saw clearly that the person hugging him was Xiao Muting.

Too late to rejoice, has fallen into a black dream.

After Shao Fei ran away, Xiao Muting stood on the spot smoking, long ash fell down, and soon merged with the snow.He followed Shao Fei's footprints and saw Shao Fei crawling in the snow, his face buried in the snow pit, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Shao Fei is no longer the frail little boy he used to be. His shoulders are strong and powerful. When standing with a gun in his arms, his figure is tall and handsome, like an unbreakable pine tree.

But at this moment, from the way he was sobbing, in Xiao Muting's eyes, there was no way he was strong and straight, he was clearly still weak and helpless.

When Xiao Muting picked him up, he subconsciously tilted his head and leaned tightly on Xiao Muting's chest.

Shao Fei was not in a coma for too long, and was already lying on the bed in the dormitory when he woke up.Holding the hot ginger soup in her hands, Ai Xin yelled in a rough voice: "You can do it, practice more behind our backs, it's extremely despicable!"

He froze for a moment, recalling the last scene he saw before he fainted, and probably knew what was going on.

"Here, Captain Xiao said, I'll drink it for you when you wake up." Ai Xin stuffed the soup bowl into his hand, "Drink it quickly, and take some medicine later."

"What medicine?" The soup bowl was hot, presumably the ginger soup had just been boiled.Shao Fei's palms felt hot, he didn't know whether they were scalded by covering them or they had already warmed up under the quilt.

"Don't worry, Team Xiao brought the medicine." Ai Xin sat by the bed and knocked on Shao Fei's forehead very meanly, "I haven't finished talking just now, you are so despicable!"

Shao Fei was not in the mood to fight back, so he picked up the bowl and took a sip. The hot soup went down, and it was so spicy that he felt comfortable all over his body.

"I don't take you like this. Let me tell you, extra practice behind my brother's back is the same as secretly reviewing before the exam. You will get beaten." Ai Xin looked at the remaining ginger soup in his bowl, and urged: "Hey, How did you become gentle? Ginger soup is going to be boring, what do you do with the remaining half? It’s not a girl’s house.”

Shao Fei drank it all in one gulp, put the bowl aside, picked up the quilt and went back to sleep.

Ai Xin quickly pressed him down: "Don't sleep yet, why didn't you call me to practice push-ups on the snow?"

"Next time I call, I will definitely call." Shao Fei was really not in the mood to chat, so he covered his head with the quilt and closed his eyes tightly.

"Remember, if you practice alone next time, I will definitely smoke you! Ask Shang Xuefeng to smoke together!" Ai Xin was still rambling: "Altitude training is inherently risky, you can't practice alone, it's not like you don't know There are so many people, in case something happens, everyone can take care of you. Look at how dangerous this time is, you ran to practice by yourself, running and doing push-ups on the snow. His mother is lying in the snow pit. If Xiao Dui hadn't watched, you would have died in it, you know?"

Shao Fei said in a muffled voice, "I know."

"It's not enough to just know, you have to remember!" Ai Xin said and patted the quilt, "You can't get up from lying down?"

"Isn't it time to rest?" Shao Fei was a little annoyed, and lifted a corner of the quilt: "Don't mess with me."

"It's not to trouble you." Ai Xin said earnestly: "Xiao Dui rescued you back, you are awake now, and you have drank the ginger soup he made for you, and you will have to take the medicine he prepared later, so you don't plan to say it in person. Thanks?"

Shao Fei was stunned, knowing the answer, he still asked: "What did the captain say when he sent me back?"

"It said that you fainted due to lack of energy when you practiced weight-bearing running and snow push-ups." Ai Xin said: "Otherwise, how would I know? Are you making it up?"

Shao Fei retracted the quilt, "Oh."

"Oh what?" Ai Xin patted the quilt again: "Get up and thank the captain."

"No." Shao Fei turned his back to Ai Xin: "I'm going to sleep, don't make noise."

"Still stubborn? Respect the teacher, do you understand? Let's see who saves you next time!"

Shao Fei was annoyed by the nagging, and blurted out: "The captain doesn't need me to thank you!"

Ai Xin gave a "tsk", and said with a smile: "I rely on you to show off again! Well, well, I know that Captain Xiao loves you, so I don't need you to thank you, Chichi, that's all you have the guts to say."

Shao Fei almost jumped up because of the sentence "Captain Xiao loves you", blushing and glaring at Ai Xin thickly.

Ai Xin: "Why are you staring at me? Want to fight?"

"I did not mean that……"

"Ah?" Ai Xin obviously didn't understand, she and Shao Fei stared at each other for a while and didn't care about it anymore, "You are in a bad mood today, like you are here, I will stop making trouble with you, you sleep and you sleep, you can't Go to sleep."

Shao Fei felt uneasy now, "Don't go!"

"What if you make you cry if you don't leave? Team Xiao was fine when he sent you back. I can't explain why you're going to cry later."

After Ai Xin finished speaking, she left. Shao Fei covered half of his face with the quilt, remembering the embrace that seemed to be floating in the air, remembering the tears on his face when he was buried in the pit, and whispered puzzledly: "Captain."

The captain was very thoughtful, and made up a lie about practicing snow push-ups, so as not to embarrass him in front of his teammates.

The captain should have wiped his face as well, so that no one would see that he was crying.

The captain also made ginger soup to warm his hands and heart when he woke up.

He curled himself up, grasped the quilt tightly, and murmured unconsciously: "The captain is so kind."

What Shao Fei didn't know was that Xiao Muting did more than that.

When he was carried back to the station, his condition was far worse than now. Although the tears had been wiped away, it seemed that he had just cried.Xiao Muting did not immediately send him back to the team dormitory, but took him to his own dormitory.The captain of the auto soldiers is not there, and the dormitory is very quiet.Xiao Muting put him on his bed, called hot water to wipe his face, and put a towel on his eyes.Feeling his cold hands, he knew that his feet must be equally cold.Wrung another hot towel and covered his feet.

It wasn't until the ginger soup was almost ready that his hands and feet became hot, and there was no trace of crying on his face, so he was picked up again and sent back to the team dormitory.

After all this work, Xiao Muting broke out in sweat, sitting on a chair and recalling everything he had just experienced, the only thing that was clear was heartache.

When he touched Shao Feibing's oozing feet, his heart suddenly felt tight, and a ridiculous thought came to him - he wanted to pamper this lonely child well.

At that time, he even said to himself: Let Shao Fei stay here, don't toss around, lie down for a while and then hug him back, suffer.

But he can't do that.

You have already ruthlessly told about Shao Yu, you have already ruthlessly pushed Shao Fei away, why do you want to pull him back?

One day when Shao Fei finally calms down and faces this relationship rationally, he shouldn't set fire to Shao Fei anymore, he just needs to stand at a certain distance and guard him.

When putting on Shao Fei's shoes and socks again, he was very worried that Shao Fei would wake up and see this scene, but luckily he didn't.

The knock on the door brought back his thoughts, Xiao Muting cleared his throat, "Please come in."

Ai Xin stood at the door: "Captain Xiao, Shao Fei has woken up and drank the ginger soup."

Xiao Muting smiled gently: "Okay, I'll trouble you."

When the door closed again, Xiao Muting rubbed between his brows, he should have breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that he had lost something.

If this series of events hadn't happened, Shao Fei would have come to report with a smile: "Captain, I'm here, thank you for sending me back!"

But Shao Fei didn't come, it was Ai Xin who came.

Shao Fei is sensible and knows that he should not come again.

Xiao Muting sat on the edge of the bed, holding his forehead with both hands.The quilt covered by Shao Fei has not yet been folded, and there are still traces of sleeping on the bed.Xiao Muting suddenly thought of a long time ago, around the time when Shao Fei was brought with him—that day when he returned to the dormitory, he found that the bed had been touched. Shao Fei was startled and anxious, and admitted that he had been lying on it.The little guy's expression was so funny that he couldn't help but imagine him rolling and having fun on the bed.

Thinking of that situation again after more than half a year, the corners of her lips still couldn't stop rising.
