Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 2 The First Friend

"When are you going to go up?" My upper body was paralyzed on the bed, and my lower body was still stepping on the concrete floor.After a whole morning of military training, who doesn't want to lie comfortably on the bed for a while?Ke Mi Le, the kid, was still sitting on the other side of the bed, and he didn't intend to climb up to the top bunk that belonged to him.

"Wait another 5 minutes..." He leaned against the railing, his voice low.Jiangyuan No. [-] Middle School did not conduct military training in the school, but pulled us all to the suburbs of the city.The dormitory conditions here are worse than that of the school. The girls live in a dormitory building, and the boys are all stuffed into a huge room, probably converted from a conference room. Dozens of beds are stacked together in an orderly manner.It's lunch break now, and the sound of breathing and snoring one after another enveloped the whole room.

"How many 5 minutes? I see, you are lazy." I muttered.

"I just don't want to climb anymore, I can't even move."

"Then you can rely on me." I raised my head a little, and seeing the aggrieved expression on his little face, my heart softened a little.

I met Mi Le in the school dormitory on the first day of school.He came up a small hill on his back - a huge camouflage travel bag, in addition to carrying a stuffed schoolbag, a blue thermos bottle and a whole bag of clothes that were about to overflow. Sitting on the bed, I stared dumbfounded. .He is quite short, maybe a little more than 1.5 meters, and he is also thin. He carried this big bag up to the fourth floor, and his fair face was flushed.His hair was disheveled with sweat too, but he was well dressed.To be honest, I thought he was the younger brother of one of my roommates, because he looked like a fourth or fifth grader.I also thought in my heart, there is such an elder brother who bullies his younger brother in the world, he goes to school by himself, and his younger brother needs to help him get everything.However, I waited for a long time, but I didn't see that bad brother, even his parents didn't come.Among all the freshmen on our floor, Mi Le was probably the only one who came to school by himself, carried everything upstairs by himself, and basically made the bed by himself.

For this alone, I admire him.

Before I wanted to get up and help him pick up something, he scattered all the goods on the ground.Panting dully for a while on the chair in the middle of the dormitory, he asked if he could live above me, his face still red.I said no problem, so he unzipped the big bag, got a rag, went to the sink to wet it, wrung it dry, and climbed up to wipe the bed board.I saw that there was a mattress and quilt in the bag, so I told him that I could pass it up for him.He wiped it and said that he can do it himself, but when I handed it to him later, he didn’t refuse and kept thanking me. After getting off the bed, he even gave me a pack of crispy noodles. I don’t eat these things very much. But still took it and ate it.While eating, I heard him splashing cold water on his head.

As he wiped his head with a towel, I saw him smile.There is a small dimple on the left side of that delicate little face, but not on the right side. This asymmetry shows some wit and intelligence.Cute, independent, smart and polite, this is my first impression of him, and I can't help but think of the protagonist of a children's play.But I can't remember that person's name. Like many things in my childhood, I have forgotten everything.Long gone are the days of sitting in front of the couch with my brother and staring at the TV screen seriously.

And Mi Le is not as strong and optimistic as I thought.That very night, I learned his little secret, though not on purpose.

No. 54 Middle School is one of the six prestigious schools in Jiangyuan City, and the other five are No. [-] Middle School, No. [-] Middle School, Beichuan Middle School, Jiangyuan Foreign Language School and the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangyuan University of Science and Technology.No. [-] Middle School has a long history, and the old campus is in the urban area, which is only used by high school students.In recent years, junior high school students have been moved one by one to new urban areas close to the suburbs.Although the campus is new, the dormitory conditions are really not flattering. I am really sorry for the "famous school" brand.It may be due to the relatively small number of dormitory students. The construction of dormitory buildings in the school is very slow, and now there are only one building for boys and girls.There are only a few students living in our class, and many dormitories are mixed with people from adjacent classes.There are [-] classes in the school, of which [-], [-], and [-] are experimental classes.Mi Le is in class two, and I am in class three.There is no private bathroom in the dormitory, there is a sink at the door, and there is a balcony for drying clothes at the end of the room.In addition, there are four bunk beds, but they are basically not enough to live in. There are about five people in a dormitory.I heard from them that Jiangyuan Experimental Middle School, a newly established school, has much better dormitory conditions than our "hundred-year famous school". People can take a hot bath directly in the room.

As for us, we can only take basins to the large bathhouse on the first floor to wash.There is only one bathhouse in one building, and there is also a boiling water room on the first floor.The only good thing is that there is a drainage pool and toilet at the end of the corridor on each floor, so we don't have to go up and down to go to the toilet.

When I was washing clothes in the water room, Mi Le hid in the toilet and called my parents.I have to admit, I stopped scrubbing my laundry after hearing his voice.I'm eavesdropping.

Miller was crying.He complained that his parents didn't come to send him to school. He was the only one in the dormitory who came to school by himself, carrying so many things, and doing all the work by himself.

It turns out that I will be envied one day.It turns out that people who look independent on the surface are not very strong in their hearts.

His parents didn't speak loudly, apologizing to him for being too busy.Then he encouraged him and said a lot. I couldn't understand their dialect, so I heard Mi Le push back, saying that his parents had to bring him to Jiangyuan.All his classmates went to school in his hometown, and he was the only one who left his hometown. He didn't know anyone in this city.

"What should I do if I am rejected by my classmates? If they exclude outsiders, how will I live? Have you ever thought about it?" I could hear him crying uncomfortably.

To be honest, we are not too exclusive here.

"Didn't you often change schools before? Why can't you bear it when you grow up?" asked the other side of the phone.

"You have the nerve to say it! Every time I get to know my classmates a little better, you get me out of school, don't you? As a result, after six years of primary school, I don't have many friends! I run around with you all day long run..."

"You have to know that your parents want to be with you and don't want you to be a left-behind child. Besides, the old man is too old to take care of you well..."

"Then why do you want me to live on campus? Didn't you say you want to bring me with you?"

"No. [-] Middle School is a prestigious school, and your parents paid a lot of money to let you enter this school. Your parents are usually busy and may not have time to cook for you. It takes a long time to go back and forth, and there is no atmosphere of learning at home..."

After talking on the phone for a long time, Mi Le still twitched, but he didn't cry so hard, and then he kept agreeing with "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".

It can be seen that he is still quite sensible.Alone outside, the children basically report good news but not bad news to the family.Parents may not be able to help solve it if they say it, but they will double the same distress and put it on them.Mature children are mostly unwilling to complain to their parents, and talk to their friends at most.Mi Le has no friends, not even anyone he knows. He must be lonely tonight.Some people's complaints may be just a habit, and it's fine to finish talking in order to vent, and the matter is far from his bottom line.Some people just said it because they couldn't bear it anymore. At that time, things were approaching or even far exceeding the bottom line.

After finishing the phone call, Mi Le came out of the bathroom and met me face to face.We both froze in place, and my expression must have told him, this man heard it all.His appearance at that time, in other people's words, "has a sharp nose, two big and dark eyes, when he is quiet, he looks studious and thoughtful, passionate, but now he has an expression of deep resentment." [1]
"That... sorry, I heard it." It seemed that admitting was the only way out.

He didn't make a sound, his eyes were still a little red.

"I didn't do it on purpose, and I won't tell others. Also..." I bit my lips and looked at him. I was really not used to looking into other people's eyes before talking, but at this moment I am willing, "Actually You know someone in Jiangyuan."

"Huh?" He was a little puzzled.

"It's me."

"what?"

"If you have no friends in Jiangyuan, can I be your first friend? In fact, I don't have many friends..."

This is the truth. Compared with my younger brother, I am less willing to deal with people. Except for my classmates, most of the people I know are my younger brother’s friends or teammates.

"Your...is your name Copeway?"

"correct."

"Ke of Nanke Yimeng, wearing the pendant, the reed of the reed removes the cursive initials?"

"Not bad at all!"

"Well, then I got it right. I can't spell your name wrong. By the way, what does your name mean? It feels very special."

"It comes from an allusion, 'Simon Leopard is impatient, so Pei Wei slows down', which means that Ximen Leopard is impatient, so he wears tough cooked cowhide to remind himself to ease up. Because of this, my former teacher The foreign name given to me is Correa, which means belt and toughness."

I only told half of the allusion.In fact, there is also the second half of the sentence, "Dong Anyu's nature is slow, so Peixian is anxious."Contrary to Ximen Bao, Dong Anyu is slow, so he wears a tight bowstring to remind himself to be nervous all the time.Every time someone asks the meaning of our name, it is my younger brother who is responsible for speaking such a long paragraph.My younger brother also has a foreign name, Bowstring, which corresponds to the "string" in his Chinese name.

Now it's up to me to tell the story, and half the story is enough.Sometimes I always want to change my name and my younger brother, because I have always been slow, not good at expressing, lacking vitality all day long, maybe I have to be "tense all the time".

Perhaps it is the name that defines our temperament?

"Then you are Mi Fu's Mi, Happy Le?" I asked.

"Usually I would tell others that it is rice."

I saw him smile.

"Can I call you Peve?"

"Call me Keke."

"Is it a nickname?"

"No, but I want people to call me that." Coco is my nickname, printed on my jersey, although kēkē doesn't seem to be the correct pronunciation of the word.At first I was not very interested in this name until after Xianxian was gone.

"Okay, Keke."

"Why don't you sleep down, I'll go up to sleep." I said to the listless Mi Le.It's almost halfway through lunch break.

"Huh? But..." He was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, sleep if you want." I picked myself up and went to the ladder.

"That...is your bed sheet new?" He grabbed my trousers before I went up.

I nodded.

"What are you doing? I like to be clean. If you don't like it, I'll help you replace yours."

This is a bit brazen, I don't think I have so much energy.

"No, mine is new too. Shall we use it later? How much is your set? Mine is about four hundred. If yours is more expensive, I will pay you the difference."

I really do not know.Everything was bought by my parents, and I never had a concept of money.

As soon as I leaned on his pillow, I turned my head and was about to yawn, so I squeezed out a sentence that was about four hundred, forget about the money.

Maybe it was me who took advantage.

Soon, we both fell asleep.
