On the afternoon of the second day of military training, the boys in the performance camp had just finished learning the first eight of the sixteen movements of the baton technique. The instructor asked them to rest for a while and review the movements they learned today until they could perform them consistently.
Lu You sat under the shade of a tree, put the water pipe handed out by the instructor to serve as a baton next to him, took out the thermos, and drank water quietly.
A voice came from beside me.
"Squad leader, are you also taking care of your health?"
Lu You turned around and saw a boy holding a red thermos flask. He had seen his appearance in class and remembered it.
"It's not a health regimen, just drinking boiled water. What about you, what kind of tea is it?" Looking at the brown liquid in his hand, Lu You asked curiously.
"Yeah, brown sugar ginger tea. My stomach is not feeling well, and my mother told me to drink more to nourish my stomach."
"So it can also nourish the stomach? I also drank it when I saw my mother at home."
The boy took a sip and said, "Indeed, my mother also boils brown sugar eggs for my sister every month. This stuff is also good for replenishing blood. Do you want some?"
"No, I'll just drink water." Lu You refused with a smile.
"Let me know if you need anything, I still have a big bottle of brown sugar ginger powder."
Wow, you have started to maintain your health at this age. Lu You couldn't help but sigh.
After Li Yu finished talking to others, he walked over and said, "Go to the canteen to buy something to drink?"
Lu You picked up the thermos flask in his hand, "I bring it myself, no need."
"Just take a walk with me, and there's nothing to do just sitting here."
"Okay." Lu You stood up and politely asked the boy who was talking to him, "Is there anything you want to buy? I'll buy it for you on the way."
"No, thank you monitor."
The two set off towards the canteen.
"What do you want to buy?" Lu You asked as he walked.
"Buy a few cups of mung bean paste to cool down, and add a bottle of energy drink. By the way, how are you doing with your movements?"
"I'm okay. I've memorized all the moves. Just practice more."
"By the way, let me tell you, the guy in my class who didn't come to practice in the afternoon, I heard that he asked the teacher to transfer him to wear blue clothes."
"Blue clothes? Those who check dormitory housekeeping and public health?"
"That's it. People in their dormitory said that at noon, they kept complaining that those moves in the morning were difficult to learn, and that they couldn't improve their grades after learning them."
Lu You didn't find it strange, "He's so outrageous. Isn't everything he does normal?"
Li Yu suddenly realized, "What you said seems to make sense."
Arriving at the entrance of the canteen, Lu You saw Tang Wan sitting alone on a stone bench under the trees, looking at the sky in trance.
"Aren't you going to say hello?" Seeing that Lu You didn't come over, Li Yu asked in a low voice.
"I think it's weird." Lu You responded in the same low voice.
"Huh?" Li Yu looked over there a few more times, but didn't find anything strange. "There's nothing weird, right?"
"Yes." Lu You said very firmly, "I think her aura now is different from usual. She probably doesn't want to talk to us."
"Ah? Can you still see the aura?" Li Yu almost laughed, "Are you still practicing the aura technique?"
Lu You glanced at him speechlessly and said, "Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you. Let's just pretend we didn't see her, go in, buy some good things, and leave."
At this time, Logan's face was not as rosy as before, and his lips were a little white. He gently rubbed his lower abdomen with his hands to relieve the pain.
Turning his eyes to the canteen, he happened to see Lu You coming out of the canteen, and left without even looking at him.
Logan became agitated inexplicably. As a big person like me, sitting here and not saying a few words, am I pretending not to see it? After thinking about it, I felt sad again.
The two quickly returned to the training ground under the tree.
Just as Li Yu was about to walk back to class with the drink, Lu You said to him: "Go and call Xu Nian for me. I have something to ask her."
Li Yu nodded without doubting his presence, "Okay, wait a moment."
Lu You sat down at his original position, and Xu Nian came over soon.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Logan Wan's relatives are here today?"
"Who?" Xu Nian didn't react for a while.
"Just my period." Lu You could only say it bluntly.
"How do you know?" Xu Nian was surprised, "Do high school boys still understand this? Have you had many girlfriends?"
Lu You was stunned, could he think of so many problems in one sentence? He is actually almost thirty years old. It's not like he didn't receive this kind of leave request note when he was a teacher, so he went to find out about it by the way. But I still can't say that, I have to find a suitable reason.
"I have eyes and can see. I didn't see her in the girls' team in the afternoon. I just saw her in front of the canteen, and her whole person exuded the aura of I'm very unhappy, don't mess with me, just be with me My mother has a very bad temper every month."
Seeing that he understood something, Xu Nian didn't hide it and said, "Wanwan's period was at noon today. She didn't have much pain before. Maybe it's because of the change in environment. This time it's a bit serious."
"Myrrh?"
"Who brought medicine during military training? And she really didn't react before, and she was completely unprepared." Xu Nian said helplessly.
Lu You thought for a while, looked at Xu Nian's watch, and continued to ask: "How much rest time are there now?"
Xu Nian raised his wrist and looked at it, "There are about ten minutes left."
"There is still enough time. Go and tell the instructor that you will deliver medicine to Logan, and then wait for me under the dormitory. I will go back to the dormitory to get it now." Lu You quickly made arrangements.
"Do you still have medicine?"
"The painkillers should work. You'll have a look later. I'll take the first step." After Lu You finished speaking, he trotted away.
…
Lu You quickly went down to the first floor with a plastic bag containing a medicine box and met Xu Nian.
"See if you can use it first." Lu You handed over the plastic bag.
"Wow, it's still ibuprofen. Why do you bring this?" Xu Nian felt a bit outrageous.
"My mother said this stuff is very useful for anti-inflammatory and pain relief. Give it to me for emergencies. Please tell me first if it can be used." Lu You said with an anxious tone.
"It works, of course it works. It doesn't help anything when I'm on my period."
Lu You took a breath and urged her: "As long as it works, go get it for her. I didn't ask for leave. I have to rush back to gather with the team."
"Why don't you give it to yourself? This is just to show..." Xu Nian also wanted to make a joke.
Lu You interrupted her, "At this time, you are more suitable than me, and she won't want me to know her life now. Don't ask any more questions, just send it over quickly, just say it was brought by your class teacher, I will moisturize it first."
…
Xu Nian found Tang Wan in front of the canteen with his head down, feeling sad alone.
"Wanwan, come and take the medicine. The pain will subside after a while and you can go to training." Xu Nian sat down next to her and put ibuprofen on her thigh.
"Niannian, do you think I'm annoying?"
Xu Nian's sky was full of questions, "What's wrong? That guy is disgusting you again?"
"Which one is Ni Tian? Is Lu You very Ni Tian?" Tang Wan raised his head with confusion in his eyes.
The scene fell into silence.
"Uh, it's okay... By the way, what happened to Lu You?" Xu Nian changed the subject.
"Does he hate me? Just now he didn't even talk to me when he came to buy things, as if he treated me like nothing." Logan began to feel sad again.
Xu Nian glanced at the medicine box on her lap and thought: I hate you? I'm afraid I'm thinking about how to get you home.
"You'd better ask Lu You himself about this question. I don't know what he thinks of you, but I can be sure that he definitely doesn't hate you."
"Really?" Logan felt a little better, but still a little doubtful.
"Auntie, you should take the medicine first and then talk about other things. The sooner you take the medicine, the sooner it will take effect. You still have to practice daggers. It will be bad if you can't keep up and get scolded."
"Okay." Logan opened the medicine box and asked, "Where did this medicine come from? Didn't you bring it with you?"
Xu Nian remembered what Lu You said and responded: "Teacher Liang gave it to me. She had prepared some students for this situation, so she brought some medicine."
Tang Wan nodded, "Teacher Liang is so kind." After saying that, he picked up the thermos bottle and poured water to take the medicine.
After Xu Nian heard this, he felt very confused.
…
When Lu You returned to the training ground, it was already a little late, and the team had just gathered.
"Report to the instructor, Lu You requests to return to the team!"
"What did you do?"
"Diarrhoea!" Lu You made up a random reason.
Fortunately, the team had just assembled and was not too late, so the instructor did not pursue too many questions.
"Never do this again, return to the team quickly."
"yes!"
After two separate movements of the baton before the operation, Lu You saw from the corner of his eye that Tang Wan and Xu Nian returned to the dagger exercise team next door. It seemed that the medicine had taken effect.
"Concentrate and start making coherent movements now. Remember, when doing one movement, you have to start thinking about the next movement, so that it is not easy to make mistakes..."
At about half past five, the instructor announced the disbandment.
Lu You relaxed his arms, thighs and calf muscles. When doing coherent movements, there are always a few people who make mistakes. When the instructor couldn't help it anymore, he would do a set of push-ups or frog jumps once he made a mistake.
Fortunately, Lu You exercised and relaxed his muscles without severe muscle soreness. However, Li Yu was different. He almost knelt on the way over.
"I am extremely lucky now that my dormitory is on the second floor."
Lu You looked at him limping and couldn't help but feel funny: "Can you still pick up the water pipe tomorrow?"
"You sound like you're fine." Li Yu rolled his eyes at him.
"I really have nothing to do. I have been exercising during the summer vacation. Push-ups and frog jumps are nothing."
Li Yu had no words to refute.
Lu You looked at the dagger training team. Logan can now talk and laugh with his classmates, and the aura of staying away from me has disappeared.
It looks like I've recovered a lot, at least I'm not in pain enough to need to take leave. Let's go back to the dormitory to find the health care guy next time. He seems to have a bottle of brown sugar ginger powder there, which should make Logan feel better.
Lu You silently thought about what else he could do, and then Li Yu spoke up.
"Why are you giggling? You're going to the canteen to eat."
Lu You came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing. Let's go. After eating, take a shower and practice singing."
"MD, I still have to practice singing. I want to die just talking about it, so I might as well just sing together." Li Yu said irritably.
Lu You gave him a look of disdain, "Oh, you didn't say that. We have to sing anyway, why not sing alone? Why have you changed your tune now?"
"Fuck, because I didn't have to sing originally. It's all your fault for dragging me into the water."
"Be gentle with yourself and be strict with others, right?"
…
Logan started emo again, "Nian Nian, why doesn't he come to me for dinner?"
Xu Nian was really convinced, "Wanwan, have you drained the blood supply to your brain? What kind of relationship do you have? You still want people to come to you for dinner."
At this moment, Logan remembered that this seemed to be the case, and his mood returned to normal.
"It's true! It may be that the blood supply to the brain is really insufficient, and I'm thinking too much. Come on, accompany me to buy bread."
