During the welcoming ceremony for new recruits, Wu Qiao met someone he had never thought of.
Su Yiqing!
His best friend from junior high school and high school for six years.
Wu Qiao looked at his friend in surprise.
Su Yiqing went to a military academy, Wu Qiao naturally knew about it, although Su Yiqing's personality of running trains was far from the soldier Wu Qiao remembered.
Wu Qiao has always felt that the most suitable career for him should be an actor. After all, his acting skills are indeed not inferior to those of the actor, and he has also used this specialty to the fullest. When he was in school, he would scare the class every time he said he was sick and skipped class. In the beginning, Wu Qiao was very worried about his physical condition, but after a long time, he realized that the other party was just pretending.
Compared to others who have to be punished for making mistakes, Su Yiqing manages to avert danger every time. Wu Qiao once asked him how he did this, at that time Su Yiqing said mysteriously that he had a trick up his sleeve. Later, on Wu Qiao's sixteenth birthday, Su Yiqing gave him a small bag with ten crooked words "What to do if you don't want to be punished if you make a mistake" written on the fabric of the bag, and told Wu Qiao that inside the small bag was his trick. Only at critical moments can it be disassembled. Two months later, when Wu Qiao was forced to ask for help because he took his sister to climb a barren mountain and caused her sister to fall on a horse, he found that there were only four words on the kit: "make up an excuse". Wu Qiao couldn't figure it out, so he was beaten up by his parents. Only then did he realize that he was cheated by Su Yiqing. Every time he can make up a pathetic and compelling reason to make the elders understand and feel distressed, it's just that Wu Qiao doesn't know how to use it.
Then, Wu Qiao saw Ji Yao in the crowd again.
Ji Yao is Su Yiqing's lover, since the second year of high school.
To say that this relationship also started with an evil fate.
Ji Yao is their high school school grass, but also a flower of Gaoling. The eyebrows are like those in ink painting, but there is a feeling of inaccessibility. Everyone likes to look at his face, but if they meet him on the road, they will deliberately walk away from him, because they think he is too cold, and it would be embarrassing to even greet him, but silence is not good, so just don’t go around him.
Wu Qiao knew that there were many people who admired him, but none dared to confess.
Su Yiqing didn't know Ji Yao at all. Once a group of friends played a prank, and the one who lost the boxing game had to do whatever tricks the others came up with. At that time, I didn't know who asked Su Yiqing to confess to Ji Yao, and he had to make people cry with emotion, making Ji Yao feel that besides Su Yiqing, there is no other person who loves him so much in this world, as long as If Ji Yao doesn't believe it, Su Yiqing loses. Su Yiqing thought it was okay to go, anyway, the other party didn't know him, at most he was rejected as mentally ill, it was much better than making people laugh that he didn't even dare to do the best "deception". The result of that "confession" was exactly as he thought, however, from that day on, Su Yiqing found that Ji Yao seemed to pay special attention to him, and every time he met, Ji Yao's eyes would always stay on him for a while. Soon afterwards, Wu Qiao remembered that it was around the end of the first year of high school that Su Yiqing once saw a group of gangsters pulling Ji Yao on the way home from school. Ji Yao's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Su Yiqing passing by, and he kept staring at him for help. Originally, Su Yiqing felt that the other party was so numerous and powerful that he couldn't control it at all, but Ji Yao's expression made Su Yiqing suddenly remember that he should love that person so much that he would die, and immediately hesitated about running away, not wanting to do something wrong to make such a The beautiful man doubted his life, and after struggling for a while, he went forward to save him, but he was beaten up and spent three days in the hospital. During the three days, Ji Yao visited him every day, helped him take notes, and conveyed homework to him. From then on, Su Yiqing couldn't say that he was just pretending, so he could only continue to pretend to be affectionate, but fortunately, he was comfortable with this and it didn't hurt too much. What Su Yiqing didn't expect was that he really fell in love with her while pretending to be her, and Ji Yao suddenly agreed to him halfway through her sophomore year, and Wu Qiao didn't know what happened in the middle. Three months after the formal relationship, Su Yiqing finally confessed to lying to him and was slapped several times by Ji Yao. At that time, Su Yiqing was so sad that she pretended to be ill for a whole month and did not go to school. nod.
Wu Qiao once told Yajiu this story, but he didn't mention the specific name. Yajiu's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and he couldn't stop asking "And then", "And then", and finally said with emotion that it was even worse than the TV series.
Yajiu seems to have always felt that it was too simple to meet Longyuan, just saw Longyuan follow Tanyan and fell in love with him at first sight, without that sense of destiny, it seemed not so exciting.
"However," Ya Jiu would sigh every time this matter was brought up, "Who made me like Long Yuan?"
The welcome ceremony for new recruits was the same as last year.
What Darrell said was the same as before.
The person who spoke as the recruit representative was Su Yiqing.
He said: "When I was little I asked my mother when peace would come and I hated it all! My mother said, you'll get used to it. But I couldn't agree - why get used to it? This suffering The sin of sin is not normal at all, we should not suffer it, we must reject it! From that day on, I secretly decided that I must not be numb, and I will do something to save everyone and let them experience true happiness ! This dream has been burning in my heart, accompanied me through childhood, elementary school, middle school, university, and everyone around me on the growth path has heard my story—"
Wu Qiao below was dumbfounded.
What is this Su Yiqing talking about? ! How dare he cheat on this occasion? !
At that time, Su Yiqing didn't even want to apply to the military academy, what he always wanted to study was art! However, art tuition fees are high, and his parents failed to invest in the year and the family became impoverished overnight, so he had no choice but to apply for a military academy where he could attend for free. At that time, Su Yiqing was extremely reluctant.
Now, he can say without changing his face that he has dreamed of joining the army since he was a child...
After Su Yiqing's speech was finished, the promotion ceremony for several people began, including Wu Qiao's promotion of course.
Wu Qiao suddenly felt that there was something strange about his fate.
Su Yiqing went to the military school he most wanted to go to, and now his position is a new captain, but too many things have happened to him in the past four years, and by accident, he is already a colonel.
Colonel...
Wu Qiao thought about it, and couldn't help feeling beautiful again.
When he took the stage to accept the order, Wu Qiao heard someone below whisper, "Dumplings..."
"..." Now he regrets using the dumpling as a metaphor, because after his promotion was confirmed, Wu Qiao heard someone talking about him and called him "Colonel Dumpling", and even once a comrade in arms accidentally called him out in person.
The order was signed by an admiral whom Wu Qiao had never met, but he did not come here to issue it. Darrell read out all the promotion orders and issued them directly on his behalf.
Wu Qiao is another representative.
"Tell me." In fact, Darrell really likes him very much, "Tell me, why do you always rush to the front?"
"… Ok?"
"Why did you put aside your instinct to survive and risk your life to rush ahead?"
In Darrell's mind, Wu Qiao is very good at speeches, so he is often asked to "speak". What Darrel didn't know was that it was because he usually loved biographies of famous people.
"Well..." Wu Qiao thought for a while, "I think the most important thing is to firmly believe that what you are doing is right, that you are fighting for all mankind, and that...the just God will not let you down, it will definitely It will benefit you on this beachhead or the next. We are very different from those who use force to satisfy their selfish desires in this regard."
After thinking for a while, Wu Qiao said, "Of course, I know it's still possible to die... But... we can't back down because of this, because only by moving forward can we win. We all know that there are some things that are worth everything and even life, such as Freedom, dignity. Those children in our country are still young, childish, and full of joy for the future. We need to protect them and let them grow up happily—this ideal is my life goal, and I hope to see it come true That day, however, I would die for that ideal if necessary. I knew that after victory there would be glory in the air that was ours, and that everything we did had meaning."
"..." The people below were very quiet.
Once again, Darrell felt that Wu Qiao was really suitable to be a general.
He began to seriously consider letting Wu Qiao take over after a few years, and continue to lead his brave warriors after his death.
Maybe, you can do better than him...
After the results of the two ceremonies, Su Yiqing and Ji Yao walked to Wu Qiao's side.
"Su Yiqing! Ji Yao!" Wu Qiao couldn't hide his joy in his tone, "Why are you two here?!"
"Because we knew you were here, we wanted to join you." Su Yiqing was also laughing, "I wrote to Darrell directly to recommend myself, and Darrell really chose us, because you two We need people. As you know, Xianglong’s Wings are no longer doing well. In the past six months, none of the activities have been successful. It is said to be resting and recuperating, but it is actually just lingering. This is why our base is expanding. Several frontier bases teamed up to launch a general attack on that group of guys."
"… seems like it."
Wu Qiao also knew what Su Yiqing said.
After the "Fanmili" company was found to have problems, the chief financial officer was captured. He has excellent abilities and is also doing financial work for the organization. After being arrested, he gave out hundreds of accounts and the names of many other companies, indicating that all of these companies are properties under the organization. Recently, in order to make money, Xianglong Wing has started to kidnap and extort rich people, rob banks, smuggle, and drug trafficking, which they didn't bother to do before.
The Imperial Army seems to plan to launch the final decisive battle with several troops that often bomb the Xianglong Wing Base once they get certain news about the main base, including Darrell's, because even if the opponent's vitality is seriously injured, the main force There must still be a lot of advanced weapons in the base, and it would be better for Xianglong Wing's old opponents to jointly attack.
The decisive battle... is it coming...
Over there, Su Yiqing said again: "Wu Qiao...you are quite famous now, many people have heard of you."
"yes… "
"That's right." Su Yiqing said, "The one who was eliminated by the military academy as a genetic waste, now killed 328 people by himself. Everyone wants to know what's going on."
"What's going on... I don't understand either."
"In my opinion, according to the information I got, the reason why you are so successful is because you adopted my strategy of 'blind fuck'!"
Wu Qiao: "..."
In fact, he has often wondered recently why he is a genetic waste.
"Don't think too much about it, that's not the point." Su Yiqing hugged Wu Qiao, "The point is the reunion of us!"
"...Yes." Wu Qiao lowered his eyes, "We used to stay together... It's a pity that Shigemitsu is no longer here."
"I know..." Su Yiqing said, "I saw his name on the list of being awarded the Medal of Courage."
"… Ok."
Although a little sad, Wu Qiao was very, very happy to see Su Yiqing and Ji Yao.
After Sheng Chongguang's death, he has been a little lonely. Many comrades in arms are very good, and they are his new friends, but they are somewhat different from old friends.
The arrival of Su Yiqing and Ji Yao gave Wu Qiao a familiar feeling that he had not seen for a long time. They filled a lot of the empty feeling in Wu Qiao's heart after Sheng Chongguang's death.
They have been classmates for six years, have a lot of common memories, know each other's growth process, and understand each other very well.
…
So many good things happened today...
Promoted to colonel, met an old friend... Wu Qiao went back humming a song all the way.
When he arrived in his dormitory, he kept looking left and right in front of the mirror, reluctant to change his military uniform.
I got promoted...
He is already a colonel.
After thinking about it, Wu Qiao tried to connect to talk with Yan. He wanted to tell the other party that the ceremony was over and that he was no longer the former lieutenant colonel.
He seemed eager to prove himself to the other party.
For a while, Wu Qiao always wondered why Tan Yan said that kind of thing that day.
In the end, I felt that it could only be understood as the gap between the two of them was too great, and Tan Yan felt that as long as he wanted to make do with it, he should be happy.
Every time he thought of this point, Wu Qiao felt very uncomfortable.
Now, he wants Tan Yan to know that he is not that bad.
Wu Qiao had a very naive idea in his heart, that if he gradually became stronger, shortening the distance between the two of them or even surpassing them, would the other party stop thinking that way, would they... really like him
Wu Qiao never knew that he would be so angry in the past.
Why do you want the other party to really like him
What if I really like him
At the very beginning, Tan Yan's sentence "That trash? Get out" was much more extreme than this time, and the insult was much stronger, but he has never been more aggressive than this, and he has never wanted the other party to really like him .
At that time, he didn't take it seriously because of it. To him, it doesn't matter if a general who is far away and has nothing to do with him hates him, anyway, there are even groups of people around him who hate him.
what a strange turn of events...
Just thinking about it, the communication was connected.
"General..." Wu Qiao said, "The promotion ceremony is over, and I am now a colonel."
"Congratulations." Tan Yan smiled dazzlingly.
For some unknown reason, Wu Qiao added another sentence: "I am only twenty-two years old now." It's so strange... Wu Qiao thought again, why do I always want to compare with Tan Yan recently? In the past, he simply admired each other, and never thought about when he could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
"I know." Tan Yan said, "It's the same age as when I became a colonel."
"...Well." Wu Qiao knew that Tan Yan was 20 years old when he graduated from the military academy, and he was also 21 years old when he was officially in the army. A year later, he was promoted for the first time.
However, the two people's previous paths can be said to be very different.
The result of Tan Yan's genetic test completely shocked the school, and everyone envied him along the way, but Wu Qiao was rejected because of his genetic waste, and he made it this far by himself.
It was precisely because of this strong contrast that Tan Yan felt that the other party was different, a very strange person different from him.
It turns out... just relying on hard work, can you keep pace with yourself
After chatting for a while, Wu Qiao asked hesitantly: "Well... Admiral... Today, there is news about you. I don't know if you have read it..."
"I saw it." Tan Yan's face darkened instantly.
Wu Qiao understood why Tan Yan suddenly turned black, because the news was really not a good thing.
According to the report, a five-star general with the surname T of the empire went to a certain place to have fun but did not give money.
There are a total of two five-star generals in the empire. Sean's surname is Evans, starting with the letter E, and the general with the surname T is self-evident.
Wu Qiao felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he wanted to ask Tan Yan personally - if this matter really existed, he would feel a little disappointed, disappointed with the other party's feelings and concepts, and disappointed with the other party's behavior.
"So… "
"It's not me in the news!" Tan Yan was so angry that he was about to explode when he mentioned this, "It's that fake guy!"
"... Oh." It turned out to be like this-it was the fake general who did it.
"He violated the rules and went out for activities privately. When he went to a messy store, there were beauties going to accompany him." Tan Yan explained again, "But although it's been a long time, it's the first time I went there, and I don't even know Price, in the end he wanted to run away when he had no money! He was not stupid at all, he disguised himself, but he was still recognized, and it was published in the newspaper the next day! How did his head grow! "
"...I'm sorry to hear that."
Wu Qiao knew that there was a lot of controversy about this matter—some people thought that the five-star general devoted himself to the empire, and the news media should not report such scandals at all, while others believed that the five-star general should set an example. Mistakes should also be condemned by the people.
"... Wuqiao." Tan Yan calmed down and said seriously, "Believe me, I won't go to that kind of place."
"..."
"Really, Wu Qiao." Tan Yan repeated, "I will never flirt with others, otherwise you can punish me however you want."
Wu Qiao didn't know what to say - he felt that he had no position to speak.
After thinking about it, Wu Qiao said, "You don't need to promise anything... This kind of thing has nothing to do with me."
"..."
Tan Yan became more irritable.
After the last "marriage proposal", he also regretted it. Thinking about it carefully, a person like Wu Qiao would naturally not accept anything. But the words had already been spoken, and I didn't know how to swallow them back, so I waited for the opportunity first, but I didn't know that there would be no chance later, the more time passed, the more strange it was to suddenly mention that matter.
But now... Tan Yan felt that this could not go on.
I have been misunderstood all the time, and I always have to untie it.
"... Wu Qiao."
"Huh?" Wu Qiao replied, "Yes."
Tan Yan's tone suddenly changed, which made him nervous.
Tan Yan froze for a while, and finally said hesitantly: "You are a narcissist."
"... huh?" Wu Qiao didn't understand why Tan Yan suddenly criticized himself.
Tan Yan said again: "You like yourself very much, don't you?"
"... I guess." Wu Qiao really liked himself quite a bit. A person like him always wants to build himself in a good direction in his mind, and the thing of "knowing his own shortcomings but never being able to change them" will not happen to him. However, suddenly asking him to admit this is a bit embarrassing...
Over there, Tan Yan was silent for a long time, and finally spit out a few hard words, "Me too."
"… what?"
Wu Qiao was completely dumbfounded.
"me too"
What does it mean
First say that you are narcissistic, and then say that he is too
For a moment, Wu Qiao really couldn't figure out what the general meant. After deliberating for a long time, he finally answered what he thought was a decent sentence: "General, relying on your strength...you should be narcissistic."
Tan Yan stared at Wu Qiao.
He didn't understand? !
Do you have to say that sentence clearly
Does he like to push himself so much
Tan Yan couldn't figure it out, he wasn't even afraid of death, so why was he so afraid of losing face in front of Wu Qiao? Why are you so afraid of embarrassing relationships after being rejected? Why are you so afraid that even the intimacy you have now is gone
Still, it's a step that probably always has to be taken.
Tan Yan's heartbeat was abnormally violent, and he finally said after a while, "I said 'me too', which means... I like you very much too."
Wu Qiao: "...?!"
He was a little out of his mind.
"That's right." Tan Yan continued, "That day... I lied."
