Gu Chen laughed on the phone, "What little fly? You are at least a little oriole. Flies are just buzzing, and you know how to sing."
Comrade Little Cotton sighed.
"Dad, Mom, you will make it impossible for me to get married."
Gu Chen laughed: "And your sister Yuanyuan is at the front."
Gu Mian squinted his eyes and said, "My sister is like me. She is emotionally wooden just like my mother. I guess she will end up like Aunt Gao and marry an obedient son-in-law."
Gu Chen: "As the future general's daughter, are you still worried that you won't be able to get married?"
Gu Mian: "My dad has raised my standards! I also want a good man like my dad who is tall, handsome, can cook and spoil his wife."
Gu Chen said disdainfully: "You should just prepare for the college entrance exam. Why do you think so much, you little fly?"
Gu Mian: "?!!! Brother, you are the little fly, your whole family is a little fly!!"

After the TV series "New Life" was broadcast, Zhan Aiping, as the original author, screenwriter, and investor, earned a lot of income. However, Zhan Aiping did not take the income, but added money to make up one million and donated it to the Hope Project.
This is a targeted donation, and the one million is specifically used to build a school around Yanxin Health Center.
In the future, she will donate all the income from film adaptations.
November is Gu Chen and Gu Yuan’s 18th birthday. They both celebrated their birthdays on the same day, which was also their coming-of-age ceremonies. Zhan Aiping wanted to celebrate properly for her children, but they were both in school, one in the capital and the other in Shanghai, and they couldn’t make it all in one day.
So the brother and sister agreed: "Mom, we will celebrate our birthday by ourselves, and no family members should come over."
Gu Yuan: "If you go to my brother's place, I will definitely be jealous. If you come to see me, my brother will definitely be wronged. You have to treat us equally!"
Zhan Aiping: "Okay then, you guys can spend the day on your own. Mommy has sent you gifts. When you come back from winter break, I'll ask Daddy to make you something delicious."
"Are you all coming back for winter break?"
Gu Yuan chuckled and said, "Of course I have to come back. I have to come back to see the little fly."
Gu Mian was so angry when he heard this: "My brother is so annoying! Why is he so annoying?"
"Good girl." Zhan Aiping hugged her daughter: "You are mommy's little lark."
Gu Mian said angrily: "Mom, they are just two little flies, one is a big fly and the other is a small fly."
"Sister, you won't find a partner like this!"
Gu Yuan: "You are a little brat, and there are so many people fighting for your sister."
Gu Yuan hung up the phone in a very good mood. She had received a strange call a few days ago asking her to take a day off on her birthday. Gu Yuan wanted to refuse, but she agreed proudly.
This took her a lot of effort.
The military academy has strict management. Students are not allowed to leave the school freely on weekends. There are only two places in a class at a time, so you have to rely on competition and good relationships. You can't just climb over the wall and leave secretly.
Squad leader Gu, who has many years of leadership experience, obtained the qualification to leave school due to his good popularity.
On her birthday, Gu Yuan slipped out of the school gate early in the morning, and the people waiting for her outside also arrived early. When she saw Lu Cheng, she didn't even need to carefully identify his appearance, she could recognize him just by looking at his figure.
It has been two years since she sent Gu Chen to school. Lu Cheng was mysterious and never wrote to her. It seemed as if he had lost all contact with her, as if he had died outside.
Gu Yuan often thought that maybe Lu Cheng would be dead before she graduated.
At that time she will see his name and black and white photo on the martyrs' monument. Maybe he doesn't even have a martyrs' monument, only a code name plate.
—No doubt, she had had this dream several times.
"Lu Cheng." Gu Yuan called him very calmly. She was still wearing a military uniform. When she walked over, she lowered the brim of her hat. The hat covered her short hair, revealing only a pretty face.
Lu Cheng looked at her, with no expression on his face, no particular joy, nor excitement, he just glanced at her indifferently.
He was wearing casual clothes, a fashionable outfit, a black leather jacket that wrapped around his muscular body. He was handsome and tall. Just standing on the side of the road, his handsome looks attracted the attention of many girls.
Compared with two years ago, his aura has weakened, as if he has returned to being ordinary, or like the return to nature described in martial arts novels.
Gu Yuan, who had just joined the army for over a year, always had the shadow of a soldier after training, which could be seen from her walking and sitting postures. In the past, when she asked for leave from her classmates, she would sit on the side of the road and guess whether a passerby was a soldier.
Gu Yuan was not very satisfied with Lu Cheng's calm look when he saw her. He was so indifferent, just like a robot without any emotions.
So she put her hands on her hips, raised her hands to take off her hat, and proudly showed off her short hair that had been "bitten by a dog".
—She cut it herself.
Thinking that she would soon be eighteen years old, I did it myself. Well, her hair turned out to be like that chewed by a dog. Fortunately, she often wore a hat at school.
Lu Cheng: "You..."
This time, Lu Cheng's expression finally changed. The dog-chewed hair really shocked him.
In Lu Cheng's memory, there is always Gu Yuan with long hair, her fancy braids in elementary school, her simple ponytail, flower bun, and loose waist-length hair in middle school...
Knowing that she joined the army and became a soldier, Lu Cheng imagined in his mind what she would look like with short hair in military uniform, and her pretty face under the military cap, she was a green flower in the army.
But now she shows up with such a ugly head.
Gu Yuan said proudly: "Are you shocked?"
Lu Cheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Happy birthday."
He gave her the birthday present he had prepared. When Gu Yuan opened it, she found it was a silver necklace. The necklace was very simple, with only the two letters GY engraved on it.
Gu Yuan: "I would be happier if it was made of gold."
Lu Cheng: "Platinum."
"Really?" Gu Yuan looked at it carefully and smiled: "It's very simple and generous."
She put on her hat and took Lu Cheng's arm. Lu Cheng's whole body froze. He didn't know how to react. Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, buddy. Come back with me to change clothes first."
Gu Yuan took Lu Cheng to her grandfather's small western-style building. Her grandparents were not there today. She took a shower first and changed into an autumn skirt. White stockings were popular at that time. She was tall and looked beautiful, gorgeous and attractive in them. Of course, we had to ignore her dog-chewed hair.
Gu Yuan looked in the mirror. Although her hair was ugly, her looks were pretty good. She thought narcissistically: It turns out that I am still naturally beautiful.
Then she took out the wig her mother had sent her with a chuckle, and decided to wear it when she went out to play, even though it was hair that had been chewed by a dog.
—This is the reason why she can cut hair without any fear.
After entering the house, Gu Yuan went to take a shower, and Lu Cheng sat on the sofa in the living room. He looked dazed and confused, and even a little dazed from a distance, like a young boy who knew nothing.
He is not a man who has never seen the world.
In fact, he had been in many different places over the years and had had hot, blonde women trying to get on top of him with the intent to seduce him, but he had never felt anything like this.
People who knew him thought he only liked guns and knives.
Gu Yuan put down her wig and walked out of the bathroom quietly. She saw Lu Cheng sitting on the sofa in a daze. Gu Yuan felt amused and an idea instantly came to her mind. She quietly touched Lu Cheng's back and used the tricks she had learned to attack his neck.
Then, the world began to spin. It was not anything else that was spinning, but her. Her back hit the dining table heavily, and she had no time to react. She opened her eyes wide and felt a sharp pain in her neck.
A sharp knife was pressed against her throat.
It seemed like something was flowing out.
The sharp knife flew out and hit the floor tiles, making a crisp sound and bouncing several times. Lu Cheng's hands were shaking and his voice was trembling: "Gu Yuan! Gu Yuan!!!"
Gu Yuan looked at him and said expressionlessly: "I will always remember the day I turned eighteen."
She almost embraced death.
Originally, she was worried that Lu Cheng would die before she graduated, but now it seems that she might be the first to die.
Lu Cheng grabbed his hair with both hands in a frenzy. After what happened just now, he seemed a little crazy and regretful.
As a student of the Military Medical University, Gu Yuan treated the wound on her neck very calmly. When she went out later, she put on a thin scarf to cover it. She looked in the mirror and happily put on her long curly wig.
After curling her eyelashes, putting on lipstick and dressing up carefully, she becomes a beautiful Hong Kong-style beauty!
Dressing up can make people feel better. I guess all her classmates won’t recognize her when she goes out.
Gu Yuan was in a good mood and handed Lu Cheng a fruit lollipop.
"Want to eat?"
Lu Cheng: “…”
Gu Yuan held her face in her hands and said, "Look at me dressed like this. Am I really a different person? Am I pretty? Am I a great beauty?"
Lu Cheng's face turned cold, and his voice became extremely cold: "You are really heartless."
"Did you know that you almost died—"
Thinking of the scene just now, Lu Cheng was still terrified. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't stopped his hand, and the sharp blade had pierced her neck, leaving him with only a cold corpse.
"I'm not dead yet." Gu Yuan blinked her eyes. "I have a strong ability to adjust psychologically. Have you forgotten that I'm a military doctor? In fact, we military doctors not only treat soldiers' physical illnesses, but also their psychological ones. You know, after coming down from the battlefield, many people will have certain psychological problems. For example, have you heard of the current name? PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder—"
Lu Cheng said coldly: "I'm not sick."
Gu Yuan: "No one will want to marry you if you continue like this."
"I will not marry."
Gu Yuan: "That's good, so as not to harm innocent girls."
Lu Cheng remained silent.
Gu Yuan peeled a lollipop for herself and peeled another one for him: "Then you can eat the candy. Today is my birthday, so you have to listen to me."
Lu Cheng took the lollipop and put it in his mouth. The sweet fragrance of the fruit melted on his tongue and his complexion looked much better.
"Let's go out and have fun. I don't plan on staying home all day."
Gu Yuan originally wanted to go to the movies, but she knew that Lu Cheng would definitely not be interested in watching movies, so she went to the amusement park with him. Gu Yuan took him to a small balloon shooting stall and encouraged Lu Cheng to help her win a giant panda doll.
"It's time to use your abilities."
Gu Yuan wasn't sure whether he could help her win the panda doll, because she knew there must be something wrong with the gun.
but.
"Bang bang bang bang—" all the balloons burst and the boss next to her turned green in the face. Gu Yuan was in a good mood and hugged the giant panda excitedly.
"Little Cotton likes dolls. I gave her all my dolls. Now I won't give her this one. I want to keep it for myself."
Gu Yuan hugged the giant panda and smiled slyly. When Lu Cheng saw the smile on her face, he couldn't help but smile too.
As long as she is happy.
They swept through several stores again, throwing darts and shooting at basketball hoops. If it weren't for the big and fierce Lu Cheng, the boss would have beaten them up.
Gu Yuan’s vacation was only one day. She put her things back in the small villa and went back to school.
She said to Lu Cheng: "I don't know how many years it will be before we meet again."
Lu Cheng nodded.
Seeing that he looked like he couldn't say anything even with a stick, Gu Yuan suddenly got angry. He was obviously not like this when he was a child. After he developed a hoarse voice, he became more and more silent. She just laughed at him a few times, and now his voice is getting deeper and more pleasant, but he refuses to speak and is very frugal with words.
An angry Gu Yuan asked him several questions: "Where have you been these years?" "Have you been at the border? Have you been abroad?" "Have you seen foreign mercenaries?" ... "Have you killed anyone?" "How many people have you killed?"
Lu Cheng just smiled and shook his head, still uttering those two words: "Keep it a secret."
Gu Yuan really wanted to strangle him to death.
She looked at Lu Cheng, thinking that this man who had longed for dangerous games since childhood, those models had become real in his hands. Why couldn't he choose to be a commander like her father
Gu Yuan said softly: "Don't die before I graduate."
"Try as much as you can."
In many life-and-death situations in the future, all Lu Cheng thought of was the answer to her with these two words.
Gu Yuan: “…”
She thought that from now on Lu Cheng should change his surname to Lu and name to Gou, so he would just be called Gouzhe.
"I hope to see you again in the future."
