Long Jiwei strode across the corridor, and the old dragon swam behind him, shaking his head and tail. Several times he tried to get close to his thigh, but was kicked away mercilessly.

After doing this three times, the old dragon couldn't hold back his face, he was ashamed, annoyed and frustrated, he couldn't help screaming strangely, and hit Long Jiwei's foot with the dragon head with sharp horns. But before he could hit him, Long Jiwei suddenly turned his head and yelled coldly in Miao language, which made the old dragon shrink his head in fright, and his body more than two meters long curled up into a ball.

Old Yu happened to turn out from the door of the reference room, and he gasped suddenly: "Why is this thing getting bigger again?!"

Long Jiwei said coldly, "I ate dirty things."

The old dragon seemed to understand what he said, and he groaned twice in shame.

Old Yu asked in surprise: "Did you feed it blood? It would have to eat a whole living person to grow so big, right?"

"It's not a living person, it's not whole, and I didn't feed it." Long Jiwei completely ignored Lao Yu's staring expression, turned his head and said sharply to the old dragon: "Don't put it on me until you finish digesting it." Depend on!"

The old dragon groaned a few times in a depressed mood, and slowly swam to the corner of the wall, coiled in a circle and did not move.

Long Jiwei didn't show any mercy, and walked away without looking back under the old dragon's plaintive eyes.

That day, my confidant assistant on the Panshan Highway was waiting on the stairs. When he saw Long Jiwei, he immediately went up to him and said in a low voice: "Long Chu, that woman has been brought here to watch over her. What do you think? Keep it in case Discovered by the Han family..."

"Harming a pregnant woman is too damaging, so let's keep it for now."

His subordinates nodded: "Yes. There is one other thing. Commander Han has already set off for Beijing from Taijiang, and he will arrive in two days. Do you have any plans for the next step?"

Long Jiwei walked past him non-stop, and snorted without looking back: "The affairs of the Han family are over for the time being, and I have more important things to do..."

Two days after arriving in Beijing, Commander Han personally called Chu Ci to invite Chu Ci to have a light meal at Han's house, and specifically told him not to bring anything, as the nanny had already prepared a large table of dishes.

It was not easy for Chu Ci to refuse the old man face to face, so she agreed after a while of silence. Although the tone of voice was very reluctant, Old Commander Han didn't know it.

Han Yue was already able to move freely at this time, when he heard that he was going to take Chu Ci home for dinner, he was so anxious that he didn't care about anything, and rushed to the street to buy Chu Ci's outfit, and picked out the meeting gift for the whole family, and gave it to Mr. Han What the commander gave to the wife of the commander, what to the boss, what to the eldest daughter-in-law... It was as if the new daughter-in-law came to see her parents-in-law, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Chu Ci had a lazy expression these days, as if she was sick, but she didn't say anything about her discomfort. She just sat on the sofa and looked out the window in a daze every day. Han Yue's eyes made Han Yue feel uncomfortable. Han Yue originally wanted to take this opportunity to take him to the street for a stroll and have fun, so as to let go of the sullenness in his heart, but who knew that Chu Ci was too lazy to go, so he would agree with everything, and he would nod if asked Two hums, lethargic.

Han Yue was a little anxious: "Hey Chu Ci, it's different when you go back this time! Last time I took you, but this time it's the old man who invites you in person. Maybe he treats you as his own whenever he's happy. People came to see it! Can you cheer up a little bit?"

Sitting in the high chair in front of the jewelry counter, Chu Ci rubbed his temples heavily with one hand, and said, "Next time, Han Yue, I really don't want to move, let's talk about it next time."

Han Yue's anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and he quickly said a few words of calmness and calmness, and finally suppressed his temper, and put on a smiling face: "If you don't feel well, can we come out tomorrow?"

"No, I'm just too lazy to deal with this kind of thing." Chu Ci sighed, her voice was a little low and hoarse from lack of sleep: "Let's talk about it next time when I come to your house, there must be a chance in the future, right?"

Han Yue was originally annoyed by his perfunctory attitude, but after thinking about it, he laughed again: "In the future? You also know that there is a future? It's enough to be so obedient, and I have been in trouble all the time." Eight under…”

Chu Ci smiled wryly and remained silent.

However, Han Yue suddenly felt at ease as if he had taken a reassurance. He stopped dragging Chu Ci to go shopping, and stopped forcing him to buy things. When Chu Ci went out on the weekend, he only brought two boxes of shredded tobacco as presents, which were the things that Han Yue found out from the house through rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and they were honored by others in previous years.

Fortunately, Old Commander Han didn't expect Chu Ci to pay much attention to this simple meal, as long as people can come, it is a good sign.

After all, this old man who has experienced wind, frost, rain and snow for most of his life is old after all. When he saw Han Yue's face, he immediately stepped forward in two steps, hugged his son head-on, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while. Come on. It was rare for Han Yue to see such affectionate behavior from his family members, so he was stunned at that time, he stammered and called the old man, and hurriedly asked the guards to support the old commander.

Old Commander Han patted his son on the shoulder vigorously, and instructed him: "Roll up your trousers and show me, how is your leg hurt?"

Han Yue patted his calf with a smile, and said, "It can be seen that the skin and flesh have healed long ago. Ren Jiayuan said that he can't bear weight for a while, but the bones are growing well, and in a month or two it will be the same as before. "

Old Commander Han nodded repeatedly, and said in a hoarse voice: "That's good, that's good..." After subconsciously repeating it several times, he remembered to ask Han Yue about the day's affairs in detail.

In fact, everyone who should know about this matter already knows about it. Old Commander Han just wanted to hear it from his son again. The main narrative focuses on the second half of Han Yue’s hiding in Chu Ci’s home to recuperate from his injuries. Those days were indeed one of the most beautiful, happiest, and most complete lives Han Yue has ever had since he was born. It was full of emotion, and even Chu Ci's routine cup of boiled milk every night was rendered so touching that Old Commander Han was taken aback.

Han Yue saw that people around him were busy preparing meals, and no one noticed their side, so he sighed and said in a low voice: "Now I think about how I always lost my temper when I wanted to lose my temper with Chu Ci, and I never knew how to control it." Come on, sometimes the scolding is really fucking ugly. I don’t know if he still hates me? When I was in the valley this time, I thought I was going to die, and he would definitely leave me alone. Who knew he would actually come back to save me, dragging me step by step for two hours, a distance of more than ten miles. Ren Jiayuan said that he was in a coma for a whole day and night because of exhaustion! When I was recuperating at his home, I I was just thinking, when I treated him like that before, I wished I could lock him with an iron chain. Who knew that when I was reduced to the most useless and helpless state, there was no one besides him that I could count on. All over again In the end, he was the only one who took care of me, accompanied me, and gave me a place to recover from my injuries, but he himself suffered a serious illness. When I think of him enduring his own discomfort and doing this and that for me, my heart breaks. It's really uncomfortable..."

Old Commander Han's expression slowly became serious, nodded and said, "You should treat him well in the future, even if you don't marry or marry in this life, you can't easily let him down for your kindness!"

Han Yue laughed and said, "I know. He's actually pretty good, but he's a little bored and in a bad mood all the time. I plan to take him abroad for a while after this incident. He's well-informed. Naturally, he has a broad mind. He has been lazy at work recently, maybe he is too stressed and burnt out at work, at worst, let him resign and do whatever he wants at home in the future. I support everything, as long as he is happy!"

Old Commander Han snorted and patted Han Yue on the head: "Brat, if you liked a woman at the beginning, why are you so troublesome now! ... But that's all, when your elder brother returns to Beijing, we will have a family reunion at the end of the year , even if you officially regard him as our family member, I will completely stop introducing you to someone from now on."

Han Yue listened and laughed, and suddenly remembered something, "Hey" and asked: "Why did the boss run out with his mistress at this time? Didn't the woman hear that she was pregnant with a son, and ran to Jiuzhaigou in the cold?"

"How do I know! This kid is so outrageous! The other day, your mother became anxious when she heard it, and she couldn't get through when calling his cell phone. There was no signal, and I don't know what kind of mess he was doing!" Old Commander Han endured it. Ren, finally couldn't help sighing, and said: "It's all because I didn't care about family affairs back then, and your mother blindly doted on her son, pampering him so much that he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth..."

Suspicion suddenly floated in Han Yue's heart, as if he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was. After such a hesitation, the nanny came out and called: "Report to the chief, the dinner table is ready! Madam said come and eat!"

Han Qiang was not at home, and there were only the Commander and his wife and Han Qiang's wife at the dining table, but they made a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas, which was enough for ten people.

Old Commander Han was very interested and even opened a bottle of 1984 Moutai. Chu Ci, who usually doesn't drink alcohol on his lips, also poured a small half of a glass according to the occasion, and put it on hand.

The masters of the Han family practiced drinking in the army. They usually use large teacups as wine glasses when they drink. Soon, you and I took a bowl of half a bottle. Both of them were full of energy and spirits. Not even drunk. When drinking happily, Han Yue insisted on clinking glasses with Chu Ci, but Chu Ci couldn't resist him, so he had to clink the glass with him symbolically, and took a sip.

Old Commander Han looked at him with a smile, changed his glass and raised it up, and said, "Xiao Chu, I, an old man, would like to toast you too. If you hadn't helped him, Han Yue might not have survived this level at all. My mother and I But the white-haired man will give away the black-haired man. I know you may not really regard me as an elder, but I treat you as my own child—if you give my old man some face, you will definitely drink this glass of wine Gotta drink!"

Without saying a word, Chu Ci raised his glass to touch Old Commander Han, suffocating the remaining wine in one gulp.

Han Yue looked at Chu Ci from the side, and then at his father, smiling all over his face.

Old Commander Han drank the glass of wine in one gulp, and personally picked up a chopsticks of fish for Chu Ci, and said, "I, an old man, have been in the army for decades. Han Yue, I really appreciate you very much in my heart, I have to show you something to thank you..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Ci interrupted: "You are too polite."

Unlike Mr. Han, Chu Ci's voice was calm, and he didn't sound very excited, and even felt a little alienated and indifferent.

If Han Yue's mind is clearer at this time, he will find that Chu Ci has not integrated into the atmosphere of the Han family. Although he is sitting here, he seems to be separated from everyone by an invisible barrier, isolating him In another cold and distant world.

His behavior was actually very obvious, but Han Yue drank too much and was full of joy and happiness. He only watched Chu Ci love him more and more, and didn't notice anything unusual about him at all.

"It's not being polite, it's my sincere words. I said the same to the two of them. Repaying kindness and complaining, that's how people should behave!" Old Commander Han put the wine glass on the table and smiled. Looking at Chu Ci, his eyes were full of joy and love: "I don't know what you like or lack, so how about it, if you have any requirements, you can tell me, and I will try my best to make decisions for you if I can make the decision. ,what do you think?"

Chu Ci's fingers holding the chopsticks trembled for a moment. It just happened in an instant, and then he put down the chopsticks steadily, with the same calm expression on his face and a calm voice: "Can I ask for anything?"

Old Commander Han said seriously: "As long as our Han family can do it!"

Chu Ci stared at Old Commander Han steadfastly, as if weighing and deliberating his words. After a while, his eyes shifted to Han Yue, and he looked at him motionless for several seconds.

His eyes were the same as usual, the only difference was that he had been lazily unable to raise his spirits all this time, but when he looked at Han Yue this time, he was extraordinarily sober and calm.

There was no emotion in that gaze, as if he was simply looking at a passerby, and Han Yue suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Before Han Yue could react, Chu Ci turned to Old Commander Han. His voice was clear and gentle, but everyone could hear every word clearly: "-Commander Han, I have lived with Han Yue for two years. Two years has destroyed my health and my spirit, I am so fed up I don't want to go on anymore...”

He paused, and said word by word: "Han Yue, let's break up."
