Bai Xinyu took him to a Hunan restaurant. He knew that Yu Fengcheng didn't like spicy food, so he deliberately ordered a table of heavily spicy dishes, and he ate them with enthusiasm.
Sure enough, Yu Fengcheng put it down after taking a few mouthfuls. He ordered a bottle of wine and poured two glasses, "Xin Yu, long time no see, let's have a drink."
Bai Xinyu didn't even lift her eyes, "I don't drink."
Yu Fengcheng smiled, "Okay, I'll drink it myself." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
The two of them became hot after eating spicy food. Yu Fengcheng took off his down jacket and wore a short-sleeved one. When he toasted, he raised his elbow, and Bai Xinyu saw a scar on his upper arm, which had half a walnut on it. It's big, very hideous, and it looks like it's newly healed. Bai Xinyu knows that the scar is new, because he used to be familiar with every inch of this man's body. Now... I don't know how many new injuries Yu Fengcheng has added in the past ten months.
Yu Fengcheng noticed his gaze and looked at his arm, "After you left, the dagger pierced through here. I am very glad that you left early, the Snow Leopard Brigade has always been a special force with a very low battle loss ratio. But almost every mission is either dead or injured, and I don't want to see you hurt again."
Bai Xinyu smiled sarcastically, he wanted to hold back, but the laugh came out uncontrollably. There is no way, because Yu Fengcheng's words are too ridiculous, as if Yu Fengcheng really did something when he was injured, but he didn't say anything, just picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.
Spicy, spicy food, spicy wine, my heart seems to be on fire.
Yu Fengcheng's eyes darkened, and he had difficulty breathing, "Xinyu, I won't argue for what I did in the past, I'm sorry for many things, I left at that time..."
"Don't gossip with me about the past." Bai Xinyu poured him a glass of wine, "Come on, this glass, I salute my comrades in arms and the warriors of the Republic."
Yu Fengcheng froze for a moment, but still clinked glasses with him.
After Bai Xinyu drank the wine, he said bluntly, "Are you full? I'm full."
Yu Fengcheng shook his head, "No."
"Then you eat slowly, I'll pay the bill, and I'll leave first if I have something to do." Bai Xinyu was about to get up as he said that, he really couldn't stand sitting face to face with Yu Fengcheng like this, it was uncomfortable.
Yu Fengcheng grabbed his hand, Bai Xinyu struggled for a while and stared at Yu Fengcheng without blinking. Had to sit back again. He used to imagine that he was on the news because he was having an affair with a female celebrity, but now he imagined that he was on the news as a meritorious soldier or a young entrepreneur.
Bai Xinyu straightened her clothes and said as calmly as possible: "Yu Fengcheng, I felt a long time ago that the two of us have nothing to say. You feel sorry for me. I accept it. What else can I do? I can't eunuch you, and we don't have that much hatred. I just don't want to waste time on you. I don't care if your attitude is guilt or something else. I am very Narcissism, as you know, I will not play a supporting role for others, we are over, let's get together and break up."
Yu Fengcheng held his hand tightly, and said softly: "You are not a supporting role, you are in my heart, and you have never been a supporting role."
A surge of anger suddenly surged in Bai Xinyu's chest, and he said with a fake smile: "Aren't you guilty of saying that?"
Yu Fengcheng gently rubbed the back of Bai Xinyu's hand with his fingertips. The warm skin brought back countless good memories and made his heart tremble. He looked directly into Bai Xinyu's eyes, "I knew from the beginning, My feelings for you and my brother-in-law are different, but at that time, I couldn't tell what liking was, but now I am very clear, I have family affection and adoration for him, and the person I like is you."
Bai Xinyu was startled, his breathing suddenly became a little heavy, he took a deep look at Yu Fengcheng, Yu Fengcheng's eyes did not flicker or avoid, there was no trace of hesitation, but he didn't know what to believe in this person, he withdrew his hand forcefully , endured the fluctuations in his heart, "That's your own business, I don't seem to have any obligation to accompany you to recognize your feelings, besides, in my eyes, we have always been friends with benefits, you don't have to take it too seriously."
Yu Fengcheng said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it."
Bai Xinyu smiled sarcastically, "What a coincidence, I don't believe what you said."
"You like me, Bai Xinyu, don't try to deny that."
Bai Xinyu clenched his fists secretly. He really wanted to make some excuses, but he felt that it was meaningless. If he didn't dare to admit that he likes someone, what's the difference between him and an idiot like Yu Fengcheng, so he didn't deny it, just said: " In short, that’s all over for me, who you like, who you admire, has nothing to do with me, no matter what, we are still comrades in arms, and I have good wine when you come back, but we can only stop here.”
Yu Fengcheng said in a hoarse voice: "We won't stop here, Xinyu, my feelings for the vice team have been blurred for several years. It is because of your appearance that I know what true love is. During the ten months apart, I have been separated every day. All I think about is you, give me a chance, let's start over."
Bai Xinyu felt a little dizzy in his brain. From the moment he saw Yu Fengcheng today, his mind has been in such a daze. Sometimes he can't tell whether he is in a dream. He has longed for Yu Fengcheng to confess his love to him before. He must have said triumphantly, "Young master reluctantly accepts you", but when he really heard it, he only felt sad. As early as when Yu Fengcheng turned around to leave, he already understood that he would never be able to fight "Little Uncle" in his life. Yu Fengcheng's liking was always covered with a layer of dust that could not be erased. It was cleanliness, his feelings were extinguished in Kunlun Mountains, and he was buried in the thick snow, never to see the light of day again.
Bai Xinyu took a deep breath, "Yu Fengcheng, the past is the past, you continue to realize your ideals in the Snow Leopard Team, and I, what should I do, we are people from two worlds, and it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future , I have already forgotten about you, and you also... "
"When did we become people from two worlds?" Yu Fengcheng gritted his teeth: "We went all the way from the recruit company to the Snow Leopard brigade. We didn't go forward side by side. We ate the same meal, climbed the same mud pit, and The same suffering, we have always been together."
"It's gone now!" Bai Xinyu growled, "What's the point of saying this? You know in your heart that we were never together. When you entered the Snow Leopard Brigade, you followed the deputy team. The place where you walked with me A section of road, but it happens to be a section of the road you must go through to follow him. What does it have to do with me? In fact, it has nothing to do with me from the beginning to the end. I just happened to appear on the road. If you think it’s fun, take me Take a walk, but you won't deviate from the direction for me, because how I want to go, how fast I go, whether I can keep up, are not in your consideration at all, so you can still say that we are all the way?" He said As he said that, his nose began to feel sore, "Yu Fengcheng, in fact, I have been following you all this time. Whether it is participating in the selection or entering the Snow Leopard Team, I was the one who wanted to follow you in the beginning, so I never There is no such thing as "going together". But it's different now, you go your way, I go mine, I have my own direction, your direction, I don't care." He took out his wallet and took a picture of A few banknotes, got up and left.
Yu Fengcheng's eyes slowly turned red, he grabbed the wine bottle, took a sip from the mouth of the bottle, forced to suppress the overwhelming sadness, got up and chased him out. After chasing to the parking lot, Bai Xinyu was about to close the car door when Yu Fengcheng pushed the door open and dragged him out of the car.
Bai Xinyu pushed him a few times but didn't push him away. He resisted the urge to shake his fist. Both of them had drunk alcohol and were soldiers, so they couldn't play "handle with care" between a man and a woman. , Emotionally, he likes to fight, he doesn't want to fight Yu Fengcheng here.
Yu Fengcheng pushed him on the car, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xinyu, don't move, just listen to me, just one sentence." The tone seemed to be pleading at the end.
Bai Xinyu's breathing was trembling, he gritted his teeth and said, "Say!"
"I came back this time not just for a vacation." Yu Fengcheng carefully looked at Bai Xinyu's face, which he had missed and imagined countless times in the past nearly a year. He gently stroked the familiar outline and said softly : "I came back to work, and the deputy team will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, in order to get me the qualification to enter the military academy without examination this year."
A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Xinyu's eyes. This year? At the beginning, Yu Fengcheng said it was two years, and now it has only passed one year...
Yu Fengcheng smiled bitterly and said: "When I think that Yan Shaozhen is coming to Beijing after the New Year, how can I still sit still, he will definitely approach you while I am not around."
Bai Xinyu couldn't help asking: "You're coming back like this? Didn't you always want to stay in the Snow Leopard Squad?"
"You make me worry even more now." Yu Fengcheng gently pressed his forehead against his forehead, "If you keep thinking about whether you will be pried away by others on the battlefield, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back sooner or later."
Bai Xinyu pushed him away forcefully, his mind was in chaos, "Yu Fengcheng, if one day you feel regret leaving the Snow Leopard Team, please remember, this is your own decision and has nothing to do with me."
Yu Fengcheng said: "This is my own decision."
Bai Xinyu got into the car, closed the door heavily, and drove away.
Yu Fengcheng looked at the car leaving in the dust, and slowly clenched his fists, his fingertips still had residual warmth touching Bai Xinyu's cheeks, it seemed that by clenching his fists, the temperature could stay longer...
Back home, Bai Xinyu returned to the room as if he had collapsed, and fell on the bed. Eating a meal with Yu Fengcheng seemed to be more tiring than running ten kilometers with him. Up to now, my head is still buzzing and my palms are sweating. He still seems to have underestimated Yu Fengcheng's influence on him. After seeing each other for so long, Yu Fengcheng's words and eyes are all suffering for him.
Li Weizhi pushed open the door of his room and said softly, "Xin Yu? Have you been drinking?"
Bai Xinyu said in a muffled voice, "Yes."
"Didn't you just go to the company to get some information and meet your friends?"
"Um."
Li Weizhi sat by the bed, stroking his head, "Are you in a bad mood, or are you tired? Mom, let me make you some hangover soup."
Bai Xinyu hugged his mother's waist, rubbed his head on her lap, "No, I didn't drink much, just stay with me for a while and I'll be fine."
Li Weizhi smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I acted like a baby with my mother."
Bai Xinyu smiled faintly, "Mom, I won't meet those girls you introduced, okay, I don't have that kind of thought now, I want to start a business."
Li Weizhi sighed, "If you don't see it, don't see it, I can see it too, you really don't care."
Bai Xinyu hesitated, "Mom, if I don't get married in the future, will you accept it?"
Li Weizhi was taken aback, "Why?"
"I mean 'if'." Bai Xinyu said with a smile: "Your son, I have seen everything in the world, and suddenly I feel that falling in love and getting married are boring. No woman is better than my mother. I don't want to get married."
"Why do you think so? Men always marry wives and have children. Mom can't stay with you forever. Who will take care of you when you get old?"
"Not necessarily. Look at my brother, it's not bad."
Li Weizhi frowned deeply and hesitated for a long time, "Honey, you don't know...you like men too."
Bai Xinyu blinked and said with a dry smile, "Mom, why do you think so?"
Li Weizhi looked worried, "Do you think it was the first day I thought so? From the day I knew that Sui Ying was gay, I began to worry. You have loved to imitate him in everything since you were a child. I am afraid that you will also imitate this." He, I was relieved when I saw that you were all women, but you went to the army for two years, and you were surrounded by men. What do you think?" She said at the end, a little anxious.
Bai Xinyu was shocked. He has always thought that his mother is a very simple middle-aged woman, who only sees her husband and son in beauty shopping, but he did not expect that a woman's intuition is so keen, and he actually told her everything. When did his mother become so wise? Why didn't he Know
Li Weizhi turned his head away, "Xinyu, tell the truth, have you become gay too?"
Bai Xinyu hurriedly said: "No, Mom, you think too much, can sexuality be learned by hand?"
Li Weizhi still looked at him uneasy, "Then why do you suddenly not like girls?"
"I... I don't dislike it. I don't have time. I go to class and work again. How can I have time to fall in love? Besides, I'm only 25, so you let me go on a blind date. Do you think your son can't get a wife? , what are you in a hurry for?"
Li Weizhi thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, "My son is handsome and powerful, how could he not get his wife?"
Bai Xinyu grinned and said, "That's right, don't worry, I'll think about those things after I have a career." After coaxing him for a long time, he finally fooled his mother, thinking about it, it really makes sense to be worried , Since he retired from the army, he hasn't even had a date. Being busy is an excuse, and he knows the real reason in his heart.
Two days later, Jian Suiying called him.
Bai Xinyu answered the phone, "Brother, have you come back from Qinhuangdao?" His brother would go to Qinhuangdao to stay with Mr. Jian's family for a few days every year.
"No, come here."
"what?"
"Huo Qiao is back, and his nephew, he called us to get together, you come here quickly."
Bai Xinyu was startled, and said "Oh".
"What's wrong?" Jian Suiying was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, I'll go right away." He didn't dare to show any abnormality. In Jian Suiying's eyes, he missed his comrade-in-arms very much. He really missed him, but Yu Fengcheng was the one he didn't want to see the most.
He didn't drive, he went by train, his brother sent someone to take him to the hotel.
As soon as I entered the box, the four men sitting inside were all very good-looking, like a celebrity party, and there were almost more waitresses than guests in the box, and my eyes were straightened when I saw him coming in, I probably didn't understand what was going on. What kind of party is it, why are all of them so handsome.
Bai Xinyu deliberately ignored Yu Fengcheng's sharp gaze, and gave a military salute to Huo Qiao as soon as he entered the box, and said with a smile, "Hello, Chief."
Huo Qiao laughed loudly, "You boy, come and sit down."
Bai Xinyu walked over, Huo Qiao stood up and gave him a strong hug. The two hadn't seen each other for almost a year. Seeing comrades-in-arms reminds people of the years when they shed blood together, and it is embarrassing.
Jian Suiying smiled and said: "Hey, Huo Qiao, hurry up and send your 'gift'."
Li Yu showed a helpless smile beside him.
Huo Qiao said: "Yes, yes, yes." He took out a book from his bag and handed it to Bai Xinyu, "Here, I will give you a copy of my poetry collection, how about it, hardcover edition."
Bai Xinyu took it over and took a look. The cover of the collection of poems was elegant and generous, and the name was: Snow in Kunlun Mountains. He couldn't help laughing, "Okay, it's really beautiful, and it's really weighty."
Jian Suiying teased: "Print one thousand and keep 800 and give it away to others. This is called hurting the enemy one thousand and self-damage 800, hahahaha."
"Damn, are you lacking in morality? The Propaganda Committee said that my collection of poems has been well received in the military area, and it needs to be reprinted." Huo Qiao turned to the back cover, "Look, this is a recommendation from our army commander,' Use romantic and poignant words to outline the majestic military feelings'."
Jian Suiying lay on Li Yu's shoulder, shaking with laughter.
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "Deputy team, I will definitely read and cherish this collection of poems."
"Oh, then I'll give you another one. You can read one and keep one as a treasure." After Huo Qiao finished speaking, he gave him another one and signed it for him.
Jian Suiying wiped away her tears, "Xin Yu, you won't be able to call him the vice team soon."
"why?"
Huo Qiao smiled, "Captain Han Zhuo has been promoted and transferred to the military region. After he leaves, I will take over as the captain of the Snow Leopard Squad."
Bai Xinyu's eyes brightened, "Congratulations, deputy team!"
Huo Qiao sighed softly, "The pressure is even greater."
Jian Suiying patted him on the shoulder, "Defending the country is a great mission, come, let's toast you." The others followed him to toast and respected Huo Qiao.
Huo Qiao clinked glasses with them one by one and drank them all in one gulp.
Yu Fengcheng has been watching them quietly, not saying much, but looking at Bai Xinyu from time to time.
After serving the food, the waiter reluctantly went out. Huo Qiao looked at Bai Xinyu, "Xinyu, have you met Fengcheng?"
Bai Xinyu was drinking and almost choked, "Uh, yes, I had dinner the day before yesterday."
In front of Jian Suiying, Huo Qiao didn't show any abnormality, he smiled and said: "I knew he would come to you first when he came back. I came back this time mainly for his going to the military academy, my sister heard Said that he was finally willing to come back, and wept with joy, he will go to school in Beijing, so I have to trouble you to take care of him."
Bai Xinyu smiled dryly, "No problem."
Jian Suiying smiled, "Interesting, when Xin Yu went to the army, I asked you to let your nephew take care of him, but now it's the other way around."
Huo Qiao said meaningfully: "Feng Shui takes turns, you can never be sure about anything."
Yu Fengcheng raised his glass, "I will trouble brother Jian and Xinyu from now on."
The three clinked glasses politely, but each had their own thoughts.
The meal went well, and Huo Qiao told a lot of interesting stories about the Snow Leopard Brigade, so Bai Xinyu didn't want to leave. He would rather be overwhelmed by these familiar and unfamiliar things, as if he was still in the Snow Leopard Brigade, with those Like amiable and reliable comrades-in-arms.
That night, they chatted until the hotel was proofreading, and then reluctantly left.
The five of them all drank some wine, Bai Xinyu's feet were a little sloppy, and a strong arm immediately supported him.
He turned around and saw that Yu Fengcheng was right next to him, he quickly pushed Yu Fengcheng away, for fear of being spotted by his brother. Yu Fengcheng grabbed him again, "I'll take you to the car."
Huo Qiao sent two cars, and Yu Fengcheng carried Bai Xinyu into one of them. After Bai Xinyu sat in, Yu Fengcheng bent down and kissed him lightly on the lips, "You like to hear about the Snow Leopard Squad, I I can tell you a lot."
Bai Xinyu was startled, his face burned even more, he blinked hard, and said loudly: "Brother, do you want me to help you?" Pushing Yu Fengcheng out while talking.
Li Yu said: "No, I'll do it."
Yu Fengcheng dodged away, Li Yu sent Jian Suiying into the car and got in himself.
Yu Fengcheng took a deep look at Bai Xinyu and closed the car door.
After the car started, Bai Xinyu took a deep breath, feeling as if he had woken up from the alcohol, the indifferent taste on his lips was still lingering.
Not long after the car drove out, Jian Suiying muttered softly, "Bai Xinyu."
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"You said that Yu Fengcheng used to bully you in the army, isn't it him?"
Bai Xinyu said in a muffled voice: "Well, there used to be, but then... it disappeared."
Jian Suiying, who was originally drunk, suddenly grabbed Bai Xinyu by the collar and pressed him against the car door.
Bai Xinyu was taken aback, "Brother..." He thought Jian Suiying was drunk and crazy.
Li Yu thought so too, he hugged Jian Suiying's waist and tried to pull him away, "Stop making trouble."
Jian Suiying looked at Bai Xinyu viciously, "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that boy Yu Fengcheng!"
Bai Xinyu's brain buzzed, and he froze for a moment.
