Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 13 Tang Xiaotian Served as a Soldier (1)
When they were young, they made a promise under the starry sky, one said they were willing to wait, and the other said they would definitely come back.

When he was about to graduate from high school, Tang Xiaotian told Shu Yawang that he was going to serve in the army.

Shu Yawang couldn't understand, why did Tang Xiaotian want to serve in the army with such good grades?Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the military academy?
Uncle Tang said: "Those who graduate from a military academy are called students, and those who graduate from the army are called soldiers. To become a real soldier, you must go through experience in the army."

Shu Yawang pursed her lower lip, she couldn't understand Uncle Tang's thoughts, why he was always like this, other people's children couldn't bear the pain, but he sent Tang Xiaotian wherever he was tired or suffering.

Shu Yawang asked Tang Xiaotian: "Then do you want to go by yourself?"

Tang Xiaotian looked at her and nodded, and said in a rare and deep tone: "I want to go. A man regrets being a soldier for two years, and he regrets not being a soldier for a lifetime."

Serve as a soldier first, then take the military academy exam, and then become an outstanding soldier like his father. This is the future Tang Xiaotian chose for himself. His eyes are firm and his goals are clear, as if he has made a wish since he was a child. He rushed over without hesitation.

Shu Yawang somewhat envied Tang Xiaotian, envied him for living so clearly, envied him for knowing what he wanted, what kind of life he wanted to live, and what kind of ideal he was striving to realize.

Shu Yawang silently watched the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and gently held the strap of her schoolbag tightly. Xia Mu sat quietly beside Shu Yawang, watching the street lights that flashed by outside the car window flickering on her face. .Xia Mu lowered his eyes and called her: "Hello."

"Huh?" She turned her head to look at him, the 13-year-old Xia Mu was still so delicate and beautiful, his expressionless face looked like a doll in the window.

"..."

"what happened?"

Xia Mu turned his face and asked, "Why don't you talk today?"

Doesn't she usually talk a lot?From getting in the car to getting out of the car.

"I'm thinking about something." Shu Yawang leaned back in the seat, tilted her head to look at him, with a tired look on her face.

Xia Mu turned to look at her, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Shu Yawang looked at him with some dissatisfaction: "Xia Mu, don't you want to know what I'm thinking?"

Xia Mu hummed, expressing his slight curiosity.

"Want to know?" Shu Yawang looked at him amusedly, poking his cheeks with her fingers.She just likes to poke his face like this, because doing so will deform his beautiful face and brighten his eyes.

"Don't poke me." Xia Mu tilted his head, avoiding her attack.

"If you want to know, give me a hug!" Shu Yawang reached out and hugged him without waiting for Xia Mu to respond, rubbing his chin on his head vigorously, and shouting happily: "Yeah!" , Xiao Xiamu is really warm in her arms."

"You... let me go." Xia Mu struggled hard, her face was buried tightly in her arms, and her hair was messed up by her rubbing.

"Let go." Xia Mu exhausted all his strength and finally pushed Shu Yawang away, then stepped back and stared at her defensively.

"Give me another hug for my sister." Shu Yawang stretched out her arms for a hug in disappointment, and Xia Mu hugged her softly, fragrantly, and very comfortable.

"No." Xia Mu straightened his hair with his hands while fleeing to the seat on the other side of the car, turning his head and ignoring her.

Shu Yawang asked seductively: "Don't you want to know what I'm thinking?"

Xia Mu threw her a small back, obviously not wanting to pay attention to her.

Shu Yawang didn't chase after him to harass him, but just smiled softly, and suddenly lowered her head with a look of desolation while smiling.The window beside her was open, her black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and rows of street lamps outside the window kept retreating beside her.

She was in a daze with her hair lowered, and after a while, the leather chair beside her sank again, and her sleeves were pulled. She turned her head and saw Xia Mu sitting on the side with a cool face and said: "Hug you!" Well, don't mess with my hair."

Shu Yawang raised her eyebrows in surprise, then burst out laughing.Hearing her laughter, Xia Mu stood up with a swipe and wanted to leave.

Shu Yawang was one step ahead of him, grabbed his arm with one hand, pressed him down, then leaned over to wrap his arms around his small shoulders, leaned her head gently, closed her eyes, and touched his soft skin with her hands. Hair: "Xia Mu is so cute."

Xia Mu straightened his back and pursed his lips lightly.After waiting for a while, Shu Yawang didn't speak any more, Xia Mu couldn't help reminding her: "You said you wanted to tell me what you were thinking."

Shu Yawang opened her eyes, raised her lips and smiled, and said softly, "I'm thinking about my life goals."

"life goals?"

"Yes."

Xia Mu didn't answer, and Shu Yawang didn't continue talking.Shu Yawang felt that when she was with Xia Mu, if she didn't take the initiative to speak, it would be difficult for them to have a conversation.

But today was different, Xia Mu actually asked her with interest: "And then?"

"Ok?"

"What life goals do you have in mind?"

Shu Yawang lowered her head, snapped her fingers one by one, and replied softly: "I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I'm the kind of person who spends my whole life just drifting with the flow, doing nothing, and doesn't know what I want to do. .”

Xia Mu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "This is very good."

"Well?"

"Those with firm goals are the most selfish and ruthless." When Xia Mu said this, he was not as mature as a 13-year-old boy.

Shu Yawang couldn't understand what he meant, so she turned her head and asked him why he said that, but Xia Mu didn't want to answer, but just looked into the distance with an expression, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Why do you say that?Because his father was a man with a firm goal, no matter how worried and persuaded his mother was, he still firmly engaged in the most dangerous work and eventually lost his life in the task.

Because my mother was also a person with a firm goal, no matter how much he begged and cried, she still shot herself in front of him.

A person with a firm goal...Xia Mu's hands were tightly clenched, and he never let go until his nails pinched his flesh so painfully.

It wasn't until a warm hand covered his right hand that he came back to his senses.I saw Shu Yawang carrying his schoolbag in one hand, holding him with the other, looking at him tenderly and smiling: "Xia Mu, you're home."

Xia Mu's clenched hands were slowly released. The accelerated blood circulation made his hands feel tingling like an electric shock. He turned his head and looked out of the car. Under the dim street lights, he was already familiar with the military compound.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Shu Yawang was seriously drawing pictures on the drawing board, and Shu's mother shouted outside the door: "Yawang, call."

"Oh, here we come." Shu Yawang agreed, put down the brush, stood up, walked out quickly, and took the microphone.

Tang Xiaotian smiled on the other end of the phone: "Yawang, it's me."

"Oh. What are you doing?" Shu Yawang asked bluntly.

"Well, it's okay." Tang Xiaotian touched his nose in a little helplessness when she was fierce.

"..."

"..."

Both of them fell into silence, Shu Yawang bit her lip, and said, "It's okay, I'll hang up."

"Yawang!" Tang Xiaotian was afraid that she would really hang up the phone, so he hurriedly said, "Yawang, come out, I'll wait for you in the playground now, you must come."

"I dont go."

"If you don't come, I won't go."

"Liar, you will still leave at dawn tomorrow." Tomorrow is the day Tang Xiaotian joins the army.

"Yawang, I'm going down." After Tang Xiaotian said this, he hung up the phone.

"Hello! Hello!" Shu Yawang fed several times to the beeping phone, and then hung up the phone angrily.

Brat, if you dare to hang up the phone now, she has to go down and teach him a lesson!

Turning around, she took her coat, put on her shoes, and Shu Yawang ran to the playground in the compound.As a result... the one who couldn't say it, actually arrived first.

While Shu Yawang was staring at the twinkling stars in the sky, Tang Xiaocai ran over in a hurry, Shu Yawang looked at him from a distance, his hair was cut very short, his handsome face was even more Show masculinity.He ran to stand in front of her, panting slightly.

His house is 5 minutes away from the playground in the compound than hers, and it seems that he also came here in one breath.

Tang Xiaotian handed a bunch of reference books in his hands to Shu Yawang and said, "These books and notes are for your review."

"No, I still have a lot to look at in my own house." Shu Yawang turned her head away.

Tang Xiaotian was as patient as ever: "Yawang, don't be angry, okay? I'm leaving tomorrow, so don't be angry with me, okay?"

"I'm not angry." She denied softly.

"Then you ignore me these few days." Tang Xiaotian was a little anxious, and looked down at her.

Shu Yawang bit her lip, her eyes were a little red, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm not angry, I'm just, I don't want you to go."

Tang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, staring straight at Shu Yawang, his eyes were slightly red, and his heart was suddenly tightened.

"Yawang."

Shu Yawang didn't look up, her long black hair covered her cheeks, and the tears fell easily from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Xiaotian stretched out his hands, wanting to hug Shu Yawang like this, but he put his hands down halfway.Suddenly he squatted down, put the book in his hand on the ground, made a push-up position, and said to Shu Yawang, "Yawang, come up."

Shu Yawang stood still, looked at him amusedly and said, "Why, your father didn't punish you again."

"I punish myself." Tang Xiaotian propped himself up on the grass and said, "I made you cry, of course I will punish you."

"No more."

"Come up quickly."

Shu Yawang smiled and coughed, walked over, sat on his back, and said seriously, "Okay, then make twenty."
