It was a middle-aged man in a retro suit who walked onto the terrace. Xu Le noticed in the hall before that this man was from Qinglong Mountain, probably Nan Mingxiu's entourage. He didn't know why he came to the terrace at this time.
Zhang Xiaomeng looked at Xu Le's face quietly at this time, not noticing the person behind him. Tears flowed down her smiling face, and the light makeup on her face was washed off, making her even more beautiful. She took another step forward, leaned closer to Xu Le, and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Undoubtedly, in this piece of tender feelings that sprouted from a bag of puppy biscuits, started from the food in the cafeteria, and filled the porridge and flowers under the plum garden, there were debts, persistence, and hurt. , but also had unquestionable sincerity.
Without the cover of black-rimmed glasses tonight, the hazy tears in those bright eyes seemed so sincere. Watching in a daze, Xu Le recalled a lot of the past unexpectedly, and many things that he seldom remembered this year. The strong big heart did not soften, but returned a little freshness, and then he remembered the parliament again. The eyes of the millions of people in front of the building touched, and many complex emotions were entangled in my heart, and I couldn't taste the taste.
The lights in the hall passed through the side door, casting a shadow of a month and a half on the quiet and dim terrace. Xu Le and Zhang Xiaomeng happened to be standing on both sides of the full moon-like light. An invisible line seemed to separate the two, but It's really just two steps apart.
The field fell into silence and silence, like returning to the cafeteria and playground three years ago. Zhang Xiaomeng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at him quietly and smiled without saying a word. Although it is no longer the couple relationship of the past, standing opposite to each other like this, looking at the face that is close at hand, is already a great consolation for her. She knew how hard he had been in the past few years, although she had been in the mountains the same way, but she was no longer qualified to say anything, and he didn't seem to have the desire to tell these things.
Then stand quietly like this, in the autumn wind terrace, without words, and reminisce about the past.
But there were other people on the terrace.
The middle-aged man in a full-fronted suit was a little surprised to see Zhang Xiaomeng wiping away tears, his face changed slightly, and he was about to walk up and say something to her, wanting to tell her that someone was looking for her in the hall, and at the same time He wanted her to stay away from the cold and dangerous officer by the stone fence. In his opinion, the officer must have done something to make Zhang Xiaomeng cry like this.
The aura of the young man and woman was in the silent aftertaste, but suddenly there was another person who disturbed the situation. Zhang Xiaomeng turned his back to the side door and hadn't realized it yet, but Xu Le looked at the middle-aged man coldly. One glance. Just one glance, the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes, made the middle-aged man stop in a daze, his heart was so cold, he turned his head and walked towards the hall.
"Nan Mingxiu is the son of the leader of Nanshui. It is the organization's request that I be his girlfriend today. Don't get me wrong. It's just that the Federation recently..."
Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes were slightly red as he looked at him and explained softly. The story between her and him was too long and complicated, and there was no need to explain anything, but for some reason, looking at Xu Le's gloomy face in the past, her heart was very flustered, and she always felt that it should be made clear.
"No need to explain." Xu Le looked at her beautiful face quietly.
Zhang Xiaomeng's heart was slightly gloomy, and she forced a smile, but the smile became extraordinarily gentle in an instant, because Xu Le put her hand on her head and stroked it gently.
"Last year, when I found out that you were still alive, I was very angry." Xu Le slowly withdrew his hand and said, "But Master Shi reminded me that if I am more angry than happy, doesn't it mean that I am looking forward to your death? ."
"You should be angry." Zhang Xiaomeng walked out of the half-moon light, walked to his side, quietly leaned on his arm, and said, "Across the street, watching you on the sidewalk, I realized my heart It will hurt like that. I always wanted to ask you in person if you could forgive me, but I realized later, what reason do I have for you to forgive me?"
She turned her head and looked at Xu Le's profile with a bit of sourness. She smiled stubbornly and said, "I know your character. You hate others to lie to you the most."
Xu Le once said to Lin Yuanhu in front of Professor Shen's tomb that he would not forgive a single one, and now Lin Yuanhu has also become a cold existence in the tomb. For Zhang Xiaomeng, he doesn't think there is any problem of forgiveness or not, it's just the nature of the world and each other's different obsessions. However, in the relationship, obsession with other things cannot be tolerated, even the so-called belief, more What's more, the past is the past, and it will never come back.
In the cold wind of the autumn night, he felt a little cold, looked down at the girl beside him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Remember what we said on the iron tower? The love I have longed for since I was a child is something that cannot be affected by anything. What is sacrificed, if the chips are also the most beautiful things in the world, I will try to grasp them together, after all, few people still ask stupid questions like mothers and wives falling into the river."
His tone gradually became serious, and he laughed at himself with a hint of pain: "The love I want is the kind that is absolutely selfish... It's ridiculous, I will set obstacles for myself to judge what love is. At that time at Ewha University, I thought, no matter if you are a spy of the anti-government army or something, I will be the same as before, and I also hope that even if I am a traitor, you will love me the same. I always thought this feeling was real."
There are not many young men and women who can analyze their own psychology so seriously and sincerely on the autumn night terrace after experiencing stories like theirs. Maybe Xu Le was naive, maybe Zhang Xiaomeng was naive, maybe their meeting on the airport bus was a mistake, maybe Zhang Xiaomeng did a lot of things that hurt Xu Le, but in the final analysis, they could live in a star-like starry sky. They meet and fall in love in a sea of people, precisely because they are actually very similar people in their bones.
"I have always left quietly, and I have always hurt you again and again." Zhang Xiaomeng was slightly disappointed, then raised her head and said sadly, "I'm sorry."
Xu Le's eyes narrowed and he said, "This is the second sentence of the day. I told you before, I don't like to hear you say sorry."
"Well." Zhang Xiaomeng pursed her lips playfully, but with those red eyes, she looked a bit desolate. There was no sense of relief in her heart, on the contrary, because of Xu Le's calmness at this time, there was a lot of bitterness and discomfort hidden.
She didn't want to continue this topic, so as not to lose control of her emotions, she hugged the boy beside her and cried loudly, forcibly changed the subject, and said softly, "You want to go to Xilin?"
Thinking of Baishuisi's weird security mission, Xu Le shook his head and said, "I'm going there after all, but maybe the time hasn't been set yet."
"You are a talent that the federal military focuses on training." Zhang Xiaomeng said softly: "Although I don't know what happened to you in the past two years, but always be careful on the battlefield. I have been in Qinglong for the past two years. Shan has seen many wars and knows it is not a place where one person can solve the problem."
After saying this, she smiled slightly and didn't tell Xu Le that she might also be transferred to Xilin next year. In her heart, she thought that she had no qualifications to ask for anything, so she was silent, but she thought that she could go through difficult times with the man she loved, which could be considered a kind of happiness.
Xu Le heard the deep concern in these calm words, and his heart trembled slightly, only to feel that the night was cool and the autumn wind was blowing like yesterday, the sky and the double moon were shining like yesterday, like pear blossoms, like the snow in the plum garden apartment, he couldn't help but use the micro Sand's voice asked: "I've always wanted to ask you a question, in your heart, what exactly am I..."
The door of the terrace was pushed open with force, and several guests walked over quickly. The leader was Nan Mingxiu, the son of the leader of Nanshui. Wearing a strange military uniform, he looked shocked, walked quickly to Zhang Xiaomeng's side, looked at the girl's crying red eyes, stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Xiaomeng's upper arm, and said loudly, "Xiaomeng, what happened? "
At the moment when Nan Mingxiu's fingers touched Zhang Xiaomeng's upper arm, Xu Le didn't know why, felt burrs on his heart, and was very annoyed.
With a crisp snap, a red mark appeared on the back of Nan Mingxiu's hand, and he stumbled back two steps. He was shocked, looked at Xu Le and shouted angrily, "Let her go!"
The people who came to the terrace took a deep breath at the same time.
Before they got the report from the middle-aged man in the hall, they realized that Zhang Xiaomeng, who was invited to talk by them, was crying on the terrace, as if he was being harassed by someone.
They were very aware of Nan Mingxiu's intentions for the girl who was called the Leaf of Qinglong Mountain by the good people. Naturally, they wanted to satisfy his desire to protect flowers and hurried to the terrace, but they never thought that the name standing in the shadows The officer moved his hand in silence and unceremoniously.
In the opinion of the leader, the officer must have harassed Zhang Xiaomeng. He stands on the ground, and the federal government is now asking for his father, and he is naturally rampant in the capital star circle. Who dares Don't let yourself get three points
"I warn you..." Nan Mingxiu looked at Xu Le coldly.
"I warn you, don't pester Zhang Xiaomeng in the future, or I will make the leader of Nanshui regret having only two sons." Xu Le looked at Nan Mingxiu and said.
The people on the terrace shouted, and they didn't understand why the lines seemed to be reversed? And who is this officer, it seems that he knows who Nan Mingxiu's father is, and dares to threaten at such a sensitive moment.
"Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude to Nan Gongzi. What kind of place is this, put away that bastard thing in the military camp!"
An angry shout came from behind the terrace. The speaker was the chairman of the parliamentary ethics committee, senior member Zion. At this time, many people in the hall noticed the conflict on the terrace. Seeing Xu Le's hands-on picture, he educated him displeasedly.
Xu Le took a step forward, stopped Zhang Xiaomeng behind him, squinted at the truly powerful man, and said, "What? Do you want me to wear a big hat that destroys the reconciliation of the federation? "
At this time, the light shone on him, and the straight military uniform of the lieutenant colonel was very clear. At this time, everyone at the side door of the terrace could clearly see the officer's face and his epaulettes.
Everyone was shocked and silent. There were only two such young lieutenant colonels in the Federation. No matter which one of them was, it seemed that they had enough background and strength to show such strength. Without frowning their brows.
