After eating, Bai Xinyu sent Yan Shaozhen to the army, and returned home by himself.
He didn't drink a few sips of wine, his brain was very clear, he thought about it carefully, and thought that he should keep a proper distance from Yan Shaozhen in the future. Anyway, Yan Shaozhen usually stays in the army, and he is also busy. I guess there are not many opportunities to meet each other. Things tend to fade when they come and go, and he always feels that someone as smart as Yan Shaozhen won't waste too much time on him.
After taking a shower, he was sitting on the bed and reading a book. His mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was called from the Snow Leopard Team. For some reason, he had an intuition that it was Yu Fengcheng who called. He hesitated for a while, but still answered it.
Sure enough, Yu Fengcheng's slightly drunk voice was heard that day. Yu Fengcheng's voice was pleasant to hear, but now it was smudged by alcohol, adding a lazy sexy, "Xinyu, what are you doing?"
"sleep."
"You won't sleep at this point."
"Are you okay? If it's okay, I..."
"Something happened."
Bai Xinyu was patient, "Say."
Yu Fengcheng said: "Xinyu, the affairs of my military academy are settled, and I will only wait for the school to start in September. I will finish my affairs and try to go back early."
Bai Xinyu said coldly, "Oh, congratulations."
Yu Fengcheng said with a low smile, "My husband is coming back, aren't you happy?"
Bai Xinyu wouldn't blush because of this shameless remark, but this remark reminded him of the "field battle" the two of them played during the field survival training. I don't know if he ate too many crabs tonight, Thinking of their ups and downs in the cave, he felt a little hot in his body. He suppressed the images in his mind, and frowned, "Did you get on the long-distance call? Don't waste my time anymore." He was about to hang up the phone.
"Don't hang up!" Yu Fengcheng yelled: "I will still call after you hang up, unless you don't answer calls from the Snow Leopard Team in the future."
"Fuck, why are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy, I just want to talk to you..." Yu Fengcheng said softly, "Have you seen Yan Shaozhen, have you eaten, drank, chatted, can you ignore him?"
Bai Xinyu looked at his feet, trying to distract his attention, "Yu Fengcheng, your fucking control is wider than the airport runway, you haven't forgotten that we have already separated, you still think you have crossed after a drink. "
"Score? I didn't agree." Yu Fengcheng sighed, "Last time I pretended to be my grandson in front of you. In fact, I didn't pretend well. That's not my character. I've never been soft on anyone in my life. I’ll give you the gun this time, and you can shoot wherever you like, oh, just save my life, otherwise you’ll have to scream for whatever you’re using.”
"Fuck you uncle Yu Fengcheng! You are a fucking drunk!"
Yu Fengcheng laughed in a low voice, and with a smile, there was a hint of crying in his voice, "I won't break up with you, even if I die."
Bai Xinyu's hand holding the phone trembled.
"Xinyu, do you know... what do I hate about myself the most?" Yu Fengcheng hiccupped and murmured, "I once thought that if I bring you into the Snow Leopard Team, I will never let you get hurt. You, I will tear him apart, but you are hurt because of me... I'm still... I'm still gone..." Yu Fengcheng's breathing trembled a little, "Think about it, you have broken my heart, right? This is not a problem that can be solved by pretending to be a grandson. My mother asked me why I suddenly came back to the military academy early, and I said that I came back to chase my wife, Bai Xinyu, and I will chase you back. Can't take it away."
Bai Xinyu gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck you." He hung up the phone and threw the phone under the bed. Probably Yu Fengcheng was really good at pretending last time, he almost forgot how shameless Yu Fengcheng's character is, and this drink exposed him again, making his hands tremble with anger. He really wanted the Snow Leopard Team to install a dedicated line for Yu Fengcheng, and then he could block it, but the phone was a fixed line, and Chen Jing and the others also called from this number. Whose voice will it be. Forget it, hang up if you hear Yu Fengcheng's voice in the future.
In the month after that, Yu Fengcheng honestly didn't call him. He and Yan Shaozhen only saw each other once in a month. Both of them were very busy, but Yan Shaozhen kept sending text messages every day, and he was actually chasing him. It was the first time in Bai Xinyu's life that he was chased by a man, which made him very embarrassed.
In early March, Bai Xinyu received a piece of news that made him very happy. Feng Dongyuan was discharged from the army. In order to prepare for the college entrance examination in June this year, he was going home to retreat and sprint. Bai Xinyu didn't let him go home, because his family had a lot of things to do, and he would definitely not be able to study with peace of mind when he went back, so he encouraged him to come to Beijing.
Feng Dongyuan hesitated for a long time on the phone, "Why should I go to Beijing?"
"Come and find me, I have a vacant house for you to live in, you live alone, no one bothers you, so you can study."
Feng Dongyuan said embarrassingly: "That's so troublesome to you, besides, won't your house be rented out?"
"What's the trouble? My house has been empty all the time. How could I rent it out to someone I don't know? You just came to help me look at the house. I went over to have a meal and chat with you in my spare time. It wouldn't be too much trouble." It’s boring, how nice. You usually have many relatives and you have to work, so where do you have time to study.”
Feng Dongyuan thought about it, and felt that it made sense, but he was still very sorry, "Then...then..."
"Don't 'that', let Lianli reimburse you the train ticket to Beijing, so you decide."
Feng Dongyuan whispered, "Xin Yu, thank you."
"Brothers for many years, why don't you say thank you, I'm waiting for you to come." Bai Xinyu was so happy in his heart. Apart from Chen Jing, he wanted Feng Dongyuan the most among these comrades in arms. He was most comfortable with Feng Dongyuan. After returning from a group of soldiers, he no longer had a common language with his former friends, and Yan Shaozhen was busy again. He really hoped that Feng Dongyuan could come to Beijing to accompany him as soon as possible. He now feels that if he can hold the squad leader on the left and Dongyuan on the right, then he will never feel lonely again. Just thinking about it this way is enough for him to enjoy himself for a long time, but when the music is over, he feels a little empty again...
A few days later, Feng Dongyuan arrived in Beijing, Bai Xinyu shuttled through the bustling Beijing Railway Station, and finally saw that familiar figure at the exit. He waved his arms desperately, "Dongyuan, here!"
I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Feng Dongyuan has hardly changed. His delicate facial features and gentle smile are still heart-warming. Bai Xinyu can still often think of him sticking out his head from the upper bunk to wake him up.
"Xin Yu!" Feng Dongyuan ran towards him carrying two large canvas bags.
Bai Xinyu went up to take a bag, and the two of them hugged each other hard, feeling very excited. Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "Damn, what did you bring? You brought Sanlian back."
Feng Dongyuan patted the bag, "They are all special products. I guess you haven't eaten them for a long time, so you should think about it."
Bai Xinyu put his arms around his neck and said with a pun, "I miss you so much."
Feng Dongyuan smiled brightly, "Beijing is so warm, Beijing is so prosperous."
"First time?"
"Um."
"Don't worry, I'll show you around. In fact, I've never been to many of the attractions you've heard of. Let's go together some other day."
"Huh? Why don't you go?"
"You're not interested right at your doorstep."
Feng Dongyuan laughed and said, "I understand."
"Go, get in the car."
Bai Xinyu took Feng Dongyuan to his apartment on the second ring road. Along the way, Feng Dongyuan looked at the scenery on the street curiously, and kept admiring, "I really want to come here to study, the big city is so nice and beautiful, and there are many job opportunities."
"Of course, that's why I let you come to Beijing. After you graduate, you don't have to worry about work. I will definitely take care of it for you."
Feng Dongyuan smiled, "Xin Yu, you are getting better and better."
Bai Xinyu said embarrassedly: "Pull it down, don't praise me."
Feng Dongyuan gently squeezed his shoulder, "Xinyu, you..."
Bai Xinyu moved his shoulders on purpose, "It's okay, it's been fine for a long time, I don't feel anything at all."
"That's good, but your voice is lower than before."
Bai Xinyu coughed lightly, "My voice has changed."
"How old are you and your voice has changed?"
"I'm young, isn't my voice more masculine than before?"
Feng Dongyuan chuckled and said, "That's right, it's pretty good."
The two chatted about the Sanlian. This year, the Sanlian has undergone great changes. I heard that Xu Chuang is going to be promoted to the deputy battalion, Liang Xiaomao and Da Xiong are respectively promoted to non-commissioned officers. Bai Xinyu was very relieved to hear that he had become a powerful veteran.
Feng Dongyuan said happily: "I have saved a little money in the past few years as a soldier, which should be enough for the first year's tuition. In the future, relying on scholarships and part-time jobs, I will definitely be able to go to college. Although I started school a few years later, I am a little I don't regret it either,"
Bai Xinyu said: "If you work hard and earnestly in everything you do, you will definitely succeed. Stay in Beijing and we brothers will fight together."
Feng Dongyuan nodded vigorously.
Sending Feng Dongyuan to the apartment, he was stunned when he entered the house, "Such a big house, just... just live in it for me?" Although he didn't have much idea about housing prices, he also knew that houses in Beijing are expensive, and the high-end houses on the second ring road are expensive. The apartment was "expensive" inside and out, which made him feel particularly cramped.
Bai Xinyu pushed him in, and seeing Feng Dongyuan's bewildered look, although he had the illusion of supporting Xiaoqing, he couldn't help laughing.
"New Feather?"
Bai Xinyu smiled and said: "Empty is also empty. You can live here. There are supermarkets and subways nearby. It is quiet and life is convenient here. It is the most suitable for reviewing before the exam."
Feng Dongyuan said in embarrassment: "I live in this kind of place alone?"
Bai Xinyu blinked, "If you want me to stay with you, just say so."
Feng Dongyuan chuckled, "It's convenient for you, if you live here, two people's meals are better than one's."
"I will come to accompany you. My place of work is close to here. If the road is too congested, I won't go home."
Feng Dongyuan said with a silly smile, "Okay."
Bai Xinyu helped him pack his luggage, and took him to dinner. When he returned home, he brought back a large bag of specialties. He hadn't eaten these things for a long time, so he went back to eat almonds at night.
The sky in Beijing suddenly became hot, which makes people's hearts very easy to be impetuous. Bai Xinyu was dizzy from writing the thesis. In order to prepare for the defense, he also stayed away from the company for the time being. He stayed in the room every day to check the information. During this period, he kept his mobile phone turned off for meditation. , He will never give up until the task is finished. Sometimes when encountering any difficulties, he will think of their experience of chasing the enemy in the snow-capped mountains for two consecutive days and two nights on Kunlun. There is no suffering that he can't bear anymore.
After more than a week, the thesis was finally finalized and sent to the supervisor. He also had black eye circles from exhaustion.
Li Weizhi brought him a bowl of lotus seed soup, and gently patted his head, "Are you tired?"
"Ah, it's okay, the thesis is finally done." Bai Xinyu stretched, feeling much more at ease.
"Just finish writing. There was a small incident two days ago. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be distracted."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"A comrade-in-arms of yours called home." Li Weizhi said, "Ask why your phone keeps turning off, is there something wrong, and I said you were busy with your thesis, and he hung up."
Bai Xinyu wondered: "I never gave my home phone number to my comrades." Who could it be, could it be Yan Shaozhen? Or... Yu Fengcheng...
"That's strange. The man's voice sounds a little weak. I don't know if he is sick."
Bai Xinyu frowned, picked up the phone and turned it on, and there were a lot of missed calls and text messages. It was indeed a call from the Snow Leopard Team. He had a hunch that the call was from Yu Fengcheng, and other comrades in arms would not make the call. In his family, only Yu Fengcheng would find a way to check his home phone number. But what are you looking for him for? Thinking about what his mother said, that person's voice was a little weak... I'm afraid it's because he's tired from training. If something really happened, he wouldn't hang up the phone so easily. However, he was still a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he called back.
The person in the reception room asked Chen Jing to answer the phone, and Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "Squad leader, it's me."
Chen Jing said: "Xin Yu, why have you shut down for several days? We can't even contact you."
"I'm busy with my dissertation, what can you do for me?"
Chen Jing hesitated to speak, "...it's all right now."
"what's wrong?"
Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "A few days ago... Fengcheng was injured."
Bai Xinyu's heart skipped a beat, he took a breath, and said calmly, "Is it hurt? Is it serious? How is it now?"
"I didn't know if Yan was serious at the time, so I was in a hurry to contact you, but I couldn't get in touch... Now it's stable."
"what is the problem?"
"We were on a mission. Fengcheng inhaled poisonous gas and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He is fine now, but at the time... it looked quite dangerous."
Bai Xinyu's mind went blank, and he froze for four or five seconds.
"Xinyu? Are you okay?"
"Uh..." What Bai Xinyu has always been most afraid of hearing is the news of someone being injured, because this is almost unavoidable in the Snow Leopard team. Although they don't say anything every time they call, they just don't want to leave him alone. People who have already left worry about it for nothing, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Chen Jing sighed, "In fact, going to the hospital or something has long been a common occurrence. In the past year or so, Fengcheng has had eight major or minor injuries, but he never tells you. Generally, he doesn't call you frequently. I called, most likely in the hospital... We didn’t know the seriousness of the poisonous gas that day, and something serious happened, so we thought we should notify you, and I decided to notify you, but fortunately, the problem was not as serious as we thought.”
Bai Xinyu's voice was a little trembling, and there was a dense tingling pain in his heart, "It's okay... that's fine." If something happened to Yu Fengcheng, he didn't know what would happen to him, he couldn't imagine that such a strong man would be disabled, or The possibility of death is completely unimaginable.
Probably because there was no one in the reception room, Chen Jing talked more and more, "Fengcheng is going back to Beijing for school soon, do you know?"
"Know."
"Well...you..." Chen Jing hesitated to speak.
Bai Xinyu knew that Chen Jing must be very curious about the things between them. Although Chen Jing could refrain from gossiping, he was an ordinary person after all, and ordinary people have curiosity. He forced a smile, and said lightly, "It's over."
When Chen Jing heard this sentence, he didn't say anything else, just sighed lightly, and changed the subject, "I heard that TECO is reviewing for the college entrance examination in Beijing now?"
"Well, yes, I let him take the exam in a school in Beijing, so we can take care of him in the future."
"I'm really happy for Dong Yuan. Going to college has always been his ideal. Send him a message for me and wish him success."
"must."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xinyu was still dazed, his mind was full of Yu Fengcheng lying in the hospital, trying to dial his phone over and over again but it didn't work, and finally called his home number, but his mother answered... At that time, Yu Fengcheng, What are you thinking? If Yu Fengcheng really... really did that, he would...
"Xin Yu? Are you okay?" Li Weizhi touched his forehead worriedly, "Your complexion is so ugly, are you tired these days?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Bai Xinyu said with a smile: "Mom, I'll sleep, you go out first."
"If you don't feel well, you must tell mom." Li Weizhi walked out in three steps.
Bai Xinyu lay down on the bed, unable to recover for a long time, he patted his face hard, wondering if he was too nervous, Yu Fengcheng was obviously fine, what was he thinking here? Since the day he left the Snow Leopard Team, he has always had a shadow in his heart. That shadow is the worry about that dangerous life, because he himself was injured and discharged from the army, and he has seen cruel death. The person I care about, but because I can't see it with my eyes, and I am thousands of miles away, this worry is even worse. Hearing Yu Fengcheng inhale poisonous gas this time, he had the illusion of "a nightmare come true" at that moment. Although it was fleeting, he still couldn't forget the feeling of chills all over his body.
He took a deep breath, took the phone, and found out Yu Fengcheng's phone number, hesitating whether to call back, staring at the number for five or six minutes, and finally threw the phone aside.
As long as Yu Fengcheng is fine. The love is gone, but the friendship of comrades-in-arms will never be annihilated. He only hopes that the two of them can spend their lives safely.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. Bai Xinyu was a monkey fishing for the moon. He grabbed the phone and saw that it was really Yu Fengcheng who called. He couldn't describe his mood at that moment. Is this called telepathy? He sighed and answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yu Fengcheng's voice sounded calm, neither as drunk as last time, nor as weak as his mother said, Bai Xinyu seemed to be able to imagine him leaning against the wall, holding The phone looked casual, as if the two were just a couple in a different place, making daily phone calls.
Bai Xinyu's heart also calmed down, "Write a paper."
"Have you finished writing yet?"
"almost."
Yu Fengcheng thought for a while, "I miss you."
Bai Xinyu endured it, and after all, he didn't ask him how his health was. Just pretend that he didn't know. He didn't want to pay extra attention to Yu Fengcheng and cause the other party to misunderstand. However, when he thought of Yu Fengcheng on the other end of the phone, he might be lying In the hospital, wearing a hospital gown, his face pale, and his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, he felt extremely difficult to breathe. He knew that it was impossible to make cell phone calls at the base...
Yu Fengcheng chuckled and said, "Every time I say I miss you, you don't know how much I miss you."
Bai Xinyu said softly: "I still have to write a thesis, so I hang up."
"Don't hang up." Yu Fengcheng said in a low voice: "Isn't it okay to just say a few words with me? We are still comrades-in-arms anyway, so you treat your comrades like this."
"... what do you want to say?"
"Let me tell you about my mission this time, I won't talk about the confidential part, we..."
"I don't want to hear it." Bai Xinyu interrupted him abruptly, he didn't want to piece together the history of Yu Fengcheng's injury from those few words.
Yu Fengcheng was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Then what do you want to hear?"
Bai Xinyu was also silent.
"You want to say again, do we have nothing to say?" Yu Fengcheng's voice trembled, "We used to have endless things to say, when did we start to have nothing to say? Bai Xinyu, if we have nothing to say, should we do it directly?" Better? I really regret that I didn’t put you on the bed last time I went back to Beijing, maybe it can make you change your mind sooner.”
Bai Xinyu's eye circles were reddish, "Fart."
"I miss you so much, really... You don't miss me at all? I don't believe it."
"Yu Fengcheng, what the hell are you talking about?" Bai Xinyu wanted to hang up the phone several times, thinking that Yu Fengcheng might be lying on the hospital bed, but he couldn't help himself, he comforted himself, at least he was a comrade in arms, at least he was a comrade in arms.
"I just want to talk to you for a while." Yu Fengcheng laughed a few times, but accompanied by a violent cough, he coughed and laughed and said: "To be honest, there is no one who has been fucked by me. , but I don’t care, as long as you think about me, Xin Yu, can you just say something to coax me, just one word.”
Bai Xinyu said in a hoarse voice: "I really... have something to do, I need to be busy."
Yu Fengcheng paused, then whispered, "If I die, won't you miss me?"
Bai Xinyu felt as if his heart had been bludgeoned, and he didn't know how to answer.
When he was silent, he heard Yu Fengcheng's heavy breathing on the other end of the phone. After a while, Yu Fengcheng said in a very low voice: "You should be busy, hang up."
There was a blind tone on the phone. Bai Xinyu covered his eyes with one hand, really upset.
