Feng Dongyuan's enthusiasm for studying scared Bai Xinyu several times. Every time Bai Xinyu called him, he was still studying, whether it was six in the morning or twelve in the evening.
Bai Xinyu had always wanted to see Feng Dongyuan, but he was busy himself. Finally, after finishing his thesis and defense, he found that he hadn't seen Feng Dongyuan for almost a month. He remembered that Yan Shaozhen had been asking him out for dinner, so he simply called Yan Shaozhen and planned to go to see Feng Dongyuan together. The three of them had a meal at home, which was very lively.
He and Yan Shaozhen made an appointment to meet at the supermarket near his home. He was waiting at the entrance of the supermarket. From afar, he saw a tall man wearing sunglasses and casual clothes walking over. He had broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a thin waist. Long legs, looks like a model.
Bai Xinyu was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't react until Yan Shaozhen walked up to him and took off his sunglasses.
Yan Shaozhen smiled, "Why, act like you don't know me."
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "I've known you for so long, this is the first time I see you wearing casual clothes."
Yan Shaozhen looked at herself, blinked, "You're handsome."
"Handsome." Bai Xinyu praised sincerely: "Everyone from our snow leopard team is a handsome guy."
Yan Shaozhen hooked his neck and shook, "Go shopping together?"
"Yeah, let's go buy some vegetables. Dongyuan keeps telling me that he is good at cooking. I haven't tasted it yet. When I was in Sanlian, I was the only one who cooked for them, but they all thought my cooking was unpalatable. Hahaha."
Yan Shaozhen looked at Bai Xinyu's cheerful look, and kept a faint smile on his face, "Actually, I'm pretty good at cooking. Isn't Dongyuan going to review for the college entrance examination? I'll cook today."
"You? All right."
The two walked into the supermarket, finding it troublesome to push the cart, so they each carried a basket, chatting and shopping at the same time.
"Today I must make a scallion pancake." Bai Xinyu picked up a few bundles of scallions, picking and choosing, "This is the only delicious one I make, and I learned it from Squad Leader Wu."
Yan Shaozhen smiled and said: "It seems that you have worked in the cooking class, it is true, the dishes you pick are not bad."
"That's right, it's all through practice. Not only can I pick vegetables, I've also grown them myself. I can even raise pigs."
Yan Shaozhen chuckled.
Bai Xinyu also laughed, "I used to feel unbearable looking back, but now I still miss it a little bit, man, it's really strange."
Yan Shaozhen nodded, "I also miss the days in the Snow Leopard Team, but after you left, I felt a little lonely."
Bai Xinyu was startled, then smiled faintly.
The two were addicted to shopping, and felt that Feng Dongyuan must be missing everything, so they filled the shopping basket to the brim.
Bai Xinyu hung the shopping basket on his forearm and exercised his upper arm muscles like a dumbbell, but the potatoes were rolled all over the floor. The two squatted on the ground to pick them up for a long time before going to check out happily.
When they got to Feng Dongyuan's place, Bai Xinyu didn't use the key to open the door, but rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door was opened, and Feng Dongyuan said in surprise: "Xin Yu."
Bai Xinyu saw that Feng Dongyuan was shirtless, wearing only a pair of big shorts, his hair had grown evenly, his eyes were dark and bloodshot, and he looked dizzy from busy work. He frowned and said, "Dongyuan, what time did you go to bed last night?"
Feng Dongyuan scratched his hair, "I forgot too, I fell asleep when I was sleepy, why are you here?" He Chaoyan Shaozhen nodded, they met in Kunlun Mountain, but they didn't speak.
The two walked in, and Bai Xinyu introduced: "This is my comrade in the Snow Leopard Team, Yan Shaozhen, just call him Shaozhen, Shaozhen, this is Dongyuan, I told you... Dongyuan, Damn, why don't you turn on the air conditioner on such a hot day!" As soon as he entered the house, even though he was driving, the house was still like a steamer, the apartment was on a high-rise, the lighting was particularly good, and it was very hot in summer.
Feng Dongyuan said embarrassedly: "The air conditioner consumes a lot of electricity."
"What's the electricity? You don't have to pay the electricity bill." Bai Xinyu was sweating and turned on the air conditioner.
Feng Dongyuan whispered: "I will pay your rent and utility bills then."
"What did you say?" Bai Xinyu exaggeratedly put his hands on his ears, "If I hear that again, I'll beat you up."
Feng Dongyuan wanted to speak, but Bai Xinyu covered his mouth and punched him twice, making Feng Dongyuan laugh.
"Go take a bath and lie down for a while. The dark circles under your eyes have caught up with the national treasure. We two are cooking. You can relax today. I'm really afraid that if you continue to learn like this, one day I will have to collect the body when I come in."
Feng Dongyuan sighed: "I have left this for two years, how can I make it up if I don't hurry up."
"Who said you have left behind for two years, haven't you been reading books in the army?"
"That's a lot of regression." Feng Dongyuan yawned, "I'm going to take a shower, please."
The two of them went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Bai Xinyu used his skills as a young vegetable preparation expert in the cooking class to wash, pick and chop the vegetables by himself, and prepared all the ingredients, neatly stacking them on the plate.
Yan Shaozhen smiled and said, "There are two tricks."
"Isn't it terrible to cook, so I can only prepare the dishes." Bai Xinyu picked up a section of emerald green cucumber sticks and threw them into his mouth.
Yan Shaozhen leaned over, opened her mouth, and let out an "ah".
Without thinking, Bai Xinyu picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth. Yan Shaozhen closed his mouth, soft lips brushed over Bai Xinyu's fingers, and the two of them met their eyes at that moment. The eyes were deep, and the emotions contained in them made people dare not look directly at them. Bai Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head away.
Yan Shaozhen smiled softly, "This cucumber is really fresh."
Bai Xinyu smiled and said: "I'm right to pick vegetables." He sighed in his heart, feeling even more headache, he didn't want to play any ambiguous games with men at all, he and Yan Shaozhen are comrades in arms, why can't they be like Ordinary comrades get along like that. To be honest, he felt that it was already a mistake for him to fall in love with a man, and it was impossible for him to make the same mistake a second time.
The two were talking and laughing in the kitchen, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After Feng Dongyuan took a shower, he also came to help. The three cooked a table of dishes, which they often saw in the cafeteria. They used to dislike it every day. , but now you have to be nostalgic.
The three happily ate a meal, and there seemed to be countless topics to talk about during the dinner, and there was no silence for a moment. Although two of them have retired from the army, everyone who has served in the army will always have a soldier's heart. Bai Xinyu always enjoys reminiscing about his time in the army.
After eating, Bai Xinyu and Yan Shaozhen went to visit the study, and were shocked by Feng Dongyuan's thick stacks of books and reference test questions. How did Feng Dongyuan write so much in two months? problem
Feng Dongyuan said: "I'm sorry, Xinyu, I made a bit of a mess in your study, I will clean up the whole house when the time comes."
Bai Xinyu waved his hand and picked up a set of test papers, "Is this the test paper from last year's college entrance examination?"
"Yeah, I just simulated it for myself yesterday."
"How's the grade?"
Feng Dongyuan thought for a while, "It's more than enough to pass a book, but it's a little bit worse than the goal I set myself."
Bai Xinyu stared, "I really want to kick you twice."
Feng Dongyuan smiled and said, "Why?"
Bai Xinyu hooked his neck, "If your grades are so good, if you don't take the exam and come to Beijing, I won't let you go."
"sure."
Bai Xinyu stretched her waist, "I'm planning to stay here tonight, and I'll supervise you to go to bed early. By the way, how about taking you to swim tomorrow? To cool off?"
Feng Dongyuan waved his hand, "Forget it, I have to hurry up and review."
Bai Xinyu curled his lips, "I'm really afraid that you haven't taken the exam yet, and your health will fail first."
Feng Dongyuan said with a smile: "The body of a soldier is so fragile."
Yan Shaozhen said: "If you want to go swimming, I will accompany you."
Bai Xinyu blinked his eyes. When he thought of the scene of swimming with Yan Shaozhen, he probably couldn't avoid embarrassment. He said, "Dongyuan doesn't want to go, and I don't want to go either. I'll just stay here quietly for a few days to rest. I just finished my defense, and I'm tired too."
Yan Shaozhen smiled and said, "Then you don't mind if I stay for a few days, I've asked for a few days off, and I don't know where to go to have fun."
"Okay, the three of us are fighting the landlord."
They stayed in the apartment. In order not to disturb Feng Dongyuan's review, the two of them didn't watch TV or talk loudly in the room. They watched movies, played games, cooked and chatted together in Bai Xinyu's room. like on vacation.
After a few days of contact, Bai Xinyu discovered that Yan Shaozhen was a person with a lot of interest in life. It would take an entire afternoon to cook a pot of soup, but luckily they made good-looking cakes and biscuits. They lived a life where they only went to the supermarket almost every day. Life doesn't feel boring, but I'm laughing and joking every day, very happy.
Bai Xinyu sometimes thinks, if he met Yan Shaozhen first, maybe he could really have some affection for each other, but unfortunately there has never been any "if". Emotionally worthwhile.
One day, the two were playing Street Fighter, when Bai Xinyu's phone rang, Bai Xinyu focused his eyes on the screen, kicked the phone over with his foot, looked down, and froze immediately.
The caller ID is Yu Fengcheng.
Yan Shaozhen was sure to kill with one blow, completely knocking out Bai Xinyu.
Bai Xinyu shouted: "Ah, shit, I had more blood than you just now."
Yan Shaozhen glanced at the phone, and said with a half-smile, "Who distracted you."
Bai Xinyu turned the phone over, the phone was silent immediately, and he said, "Come again."
Yan Shaozhen glanced at him and said nothing. The two played another game, and Bai Xinyu's level suddenly dropped a lot, and he was tortured miserably by Yan Shaozhen's character.
Bai Xinyu dropped the handle angrily.
Yan Shaozhen sighed inaudibly, "Aren't you answering his phone?"
Bai Xinyu lay on his back on the floor, opened his hands wide, took a deep breath, "No answer."
Yan Shaozhen smiled, "You are more determined than I thought. I used to think that you were not a decisive person."
Bai Xinyu sneered and said: "To be honest, I also thought that I was not a decisive person. I had no opinions and my ears were quite soft, but I think that Bai Xinyu died once in Kunlun Mountains. Now this one who is alive , you can be decisive."
"I like that about you, too."
Bai Xinyu didn't answer, he didn't want to lead the topic in this direction, and he didn't want to discuss with Yan Shaozhen something related to Yu Fengcheng. He only hoped that he could slowly and slowly digest the secret between him and Yu Fengcheng.
Yan Shaozhen suddenly leaned over, put his elbows on the sides of Bai Xinyu's body, and looked down at him.
Bai Xinyu was taken aback, grabbed Yan Shaozhen's shoulder, and said with a dry smile, "Shaozhen, what are you doing?"
Yan Shaozhen looked into his eyes without blinking, "Uncomfortable..."
"what?"
"Seeing how you feel uncomfortable for Yu Fengcheng makes me feel uncomfortable." Yan Shaozhen stretched out her hand and gently drew his outline with her fingertips, "Why don't you try it with me, aren't you very happy to be with me?" .”
Bai Xinyu said seriously: "Shaozhen, I have always regarded you as a comrade-in-arms."
Yan Shaozhen's lips pressed down, "But I don't want to be just a comrade in arms."
The phone rang again abruptly and was inserted between the two of them.
Bai Xinyu put his hand on his forehead, the distance between their lips was only two or three centimeters, Bai Xinyu said: "Shaozhen, I cherish our friendship in battle, don't make us embarrassed, okay."
A trace of sadness flashed in Yan Shaozhen's eyes, and finally moved away.
Bai Xinyu sat up from the ground, picked up his phone, "I'll go get ice cream, I'll fight again when I come back."
Yan Shaozhen sat cross-legged on the ground, scratching her short hair irritably.
After leaving the room, Bai Xinyu walked to the balcony with his mobile phone. He felt an urge to put the mobile phone away, but after thinking about it, he was in the stage of starting a business and couldn't be so prodigal, so he resisted it.
The phone rang, but Yu Fengcheng sent several text messages.
Bai Xinyu hadn't read the previous one, but for some reason this time, he opened one by accident, and there were rows and rows of "missing you" in a mess, except for these two words repeated repeatedly, there was nothing else. Bai Xinyu's heart throbbed with pain, and every word seemed to hit his heart, making him tremble even when he breathed.
Yan Shaozhen returned to the army in the afternoon. Although Bai Xinyu felt that he had done nothing wrong, he felt a little guilty towards him. After going to the army, his charm even started to convince men. He was really helpless.
After sending Yan Shaozhen away, Bai Xinyu also went back to his parents. After getting the diploma and finishing the rest, he has to devote himself to his work.
It was almost June now, and Beijing was as hot as a steamer. Bai Xinyu followed Jian Suiying and Li Yu to run projects, relationships, and construction sites. He was too busy to eat at home almost every day. Now he completely understood the hard work of making money. In the past, I spent a lot of money, but I didn't have anything to do with production. I really want to travel back and fan myself. There are many benefits of busy work, for example, he has accumulated a lot of experience, and for example, he has no time to think about the emotional problems that bother him.
Yu Fengcheng called every now and then, but he never picked up again. He felt that he was determined enough, even if Yu Fengcheng returned to Beijing one day, he could still turn a blind eye.
Less than a week before the college entrance examination, he put Feng Dongyuan on the train back to his hometown. He felt that Feng Dongyuan would definitely be admitted to a good university. He hoped that after graduation, the two could still work and continue the friendship developed from the army.
On this day, as soon as Bai Xinyu arrived at the company, Jian Suiying called him into the office.
"Brother, you are looking for me."
Jian Suiying nodded, "A friend introduced me to a project, and I was very moved by it. I want to ask your opinion." He handed Bai Xinyu a document.
Bai Xinyu took it over and looked at it. It was information about a wool textile factory in Xinjiang that was about to close down. He said, "Brother, do you want to buy it?"
"Well, I want to export woolen textiles to Southeast Asia. It just so happens that my dad has a ship. We can take the container with him, and the transportation cost can be minimized. The capital chain of this factory is broken, but its own conditions are good. There are domestic What do you think of a first-class production machine?"
"I have to go back and study it, but it looks really good. You have always wanted to use your uncle's fleet to do something. Textiles are good, the unit price is high, and it is easy to transport."
"I think so too. I want to go to Urumqi with Li Yu for inspection these two days. Are you going?" Jian Suiying glanced at Bai Xinyu with a strange look in her eyes.
Bai Xinyu said calmly: "Go, why not go."
Jian Suiying said: "You don't want to take the opportunity to meet Yu Fengcheng, do you?"
Bai Xinyu said helplessly: "Brother, I really don't want to see Yu Fengcheng, I want to see my former squad leader." He has always missed Chen Jing very much, and if he goes back this time, he will see Chen Jing no matter what, but he doesn't plan to go back to the Snow Leopard Team Yes, because then he will definitely see Yu Fengcheng, so he thought it would be fine to ask Chen Jing out by himself.
Jian Suiying narrowed her eyes, "Then it's settled, you are not allowed to see Yu Fengcheng."
Bai Xinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, I didn't plan to see you at all."
"Okay, let Secretary Liang book tickets."
Two days later, the three flew to Urumqi.
Before he left, he specifically called Chen Jing and asked Chen Jing not to tell others, but to ask for leave. Chen Jing understood him and agreed.
During the first three days in Urumqi, they inspected the factory and entertained many people.
Bai Xinyu originally thought that he was half a Xinjiang native, and his body should have been used to the climate characteristics of the large temperature difference between day and night here. Unexpectedly, there was a cold wind at night and he caught a cold. Jian Suiying laughed at him for being useless and threw him in the hotel Here, I went out to play with Li Yu.
Bai Xinyu made an appointment with Chen Jing, and went out to meet Chen Jing.
The two of them made an appointment at a hotel, and Bai Xinyu arrived early. When Chen Jing entered through the gate, Bai Xinyu rushed up excitedly, "Squad leader!"
As soon as Chen Jing turned his head, he smiled happily when he saw him, "Xin Yu!"
The two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they had to think about each other very much, so they rushed forward and hugged each other.
Bai Xinyu rubbed Chen Jing's face vigorously, "Squad leader, I miss you to death."
Chen Jing laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you still haven't changed much. Come, sit down."
After Bai Xinyu sat down, he sneezed, "Squad leader, I have a cold, if you catch it, don't blame me, just treat it as a greeting."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "I don't get cold so easily, do you have a little fever?"
Bai Xinyu touched his forehead, and said indifferently, "Maybe it's a little bit, it's okay." He noticed Chen Jing's epaulettes at a glance, and said pleasantly, "Squad leader, you've been promoted."
Chen Jing touched the epaulettes embarrassedly, "Well, what happened last month, the deputy team is now the main team, and I also promoted a squadron leader."
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "Congratulations, monitor, you are the leader wherever you go."
Chen Jing scolded with a smile: "It will embarrass me. Xin Yu, how are you doing now? You look good in a suit."
Bai Xinyu looked at himself, "That's right, don't I look good with or without clothes on?"
"You boy..."
The two ordered a few dishes and two bottles of wine. They ate enthusiastically and chatted tirelessly. Chen Jing is now more and more like a military officer. Even without glasses, he is much more mature than before. Bai Xinyu sees Looking at Chen Jing, he feels that his ideals have been realized in him, and he is really happy for his little squad leader.
They chatted until very late, and when Chen Jing was about to leave, he asked hesitantly, "When you come back this time, no one is missing except me?"
Bai Xinyu said: "Well, I'm gone, I don't have time, I have to go back the day after tomorrow."
"Are you trying to avoid the Windy City?"
Bai Xinyu was startled, and said with a dry smile: "Squad leader, let's not mention him, okay?"
Chen Jing sighed softly, "I don't like to talk about your affairs, but I feel a little uncomfortable after seeing Fengcheng for more than a year."
Bai Xinyu froze for a moment, pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
"After Shaozhen was transferred back to Beijing, I shared a dormitory with Fengcheng, and he often talked about you with me." Chen Jing drank some wine, his skin was puffy, and he looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking, "Sometimes I stopped talking while chatting, and then I would call your name in a dream in the middle of the night."
Bai Xinyu said with difficulty: "Squad leader..."
"I also know that I'm a bit meddling when I say this, but I've been holding it in for too long, and I always feel that it's not a problem not to tell you." Chen Jing sighed, "Fengcheng was hospitalized a few months ago, and his mouth was full of words during the few days he was in a coma. Nonsense, we changed several people to listen to it in turn, and finally heard that he was calling you. After waking up, he wanted to talk to you, but you didn’t answer the phone. Lao Sha pulled out your file and called your home phone I gave it to him, and then there was nothing to say, and he didn’t say whether he fought or not, but he became more and more silent. I remember that when he first joined the recruit company, he was not a silent character, he was still talkative and laughing, but now He couldn't speak a word for a day, and no one knew what he was thinking. After that injury, the deputy team suspended him for several missions, and scolded him in front of the whole team for having too many distracting thoughts. In fact, what the deputy team said makes sense. Fengcheng is too worried. Since more than a year ago, when he chose to carry the deputy team down the mountain instead of you when he was in Kunlun Mountains, he has not come out. It’s just a man , I don't like to talk about it, but everyone can feel his pain... "
Bai Xinyu clenched his wine glass tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Squad leader, why are you telling me this?"
Chen Jing looked at him and murmured: "Why should I tell you this... Maybe it's because I've seen too many deaths in the past year. I have been completely changed. I know how important it is to cherish today and the people in front of me, because no one knows whether anyone can live until tomorrow. In the face of death, many people are insignificant. Xinyu, I don’t know if I offend you by saying this , Maybe I drank too much today, and I can't hold back my thoughts, or maybe Fengcheng has used him as a trash can for several months, and I have to dump it out, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable. In fact, I have never been optimistic about you two. After all, you are both men, and I don’t encourage you to continue to get along with him. I just think... I just think that when he calls you over and over again while lying on the hospital bed alone, but he can’t get through, it’s very pitiful. He is injured again, how much are you, please give him a call... "
Bai Xinyu's heart was throbbing. He didn't expect to have a meal with Chen Jing and hear about Yu Fengcheng. He originally wanted to hide away. Why, why the hell can't he hide? !
