The Ministry of National Defense has turned into a professional marriage agency, and the latest warships are specially assigned to Jian Shuier. From the many details that he can access, Xu Le has long been suspicious of Jian Shuier's background. However, as far as he knows, There is no senior officer surnamed Jane in the top level of the federal military, and there seems to be no object of suspicion in the previous governments, so he was puzzled.
"Is this important?" Jian Shui'er looked at him seriously. Although she knew that he was an officer trained by the military and was recognized somewhere, the pressure from her childhood still made her feel uneasy about any such thing. The inquiries are somewhat sensitive.
Xu Le looked down at the red wine in the glass, thinking that if it was just a friend, he naturally didn't need to know about it. The problem was that it would be as difficult as Shi Qinghai and Tai Zhiyuan to become friends with the most popular girl idol in the Federation. If it is really a blind date, the woman's family background is naturally the top priority of the investigation.
He raised his head, remembered that the other party had withdrawn the blind date that day, and refused to admit it, he naturally had no face to continue to ask, so he had to drink a sip of Katong in silence, feeling the light fragrance in his mouth, slightly sour and astringent, I don't know. what to say.
The silence in the room made the atmosphere a bit strange. Jian Shui'er folded her legs and leaned halfway on the armchair. She looked at the young man in front of her with her purple hair. Knowing that Sister Tong's advice is right, it's really not easy to talk about this kind of thing.
Xu Le was more nervous than her. In the background of the cold universe and stars, facing a dream lover since childhood like an old friend, gently tasting the precious wine in the glass, in addition to the old saying that the dream is still in front of you, what else can be described? How could he not be nervous
What's more, these young men and women knew each other well, what was the reason for those big men and those elders who arranged this strange trip to Xilin, naturally it was even more embarrassing. Silently drinking wine, Jian Shui'er's pink and tender cheeks formed a faint red cloud, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and ambiguous.
But it's amazing to say that after the two people used silence and closed their teeth to survive this most difficult time, the embarrassment and ambiguity became a kind of catalyst, which made the two people gradually relax and become familiar with each other very quickly. stand up.
"You asked about my family just now... I'm actually an orphan, and the reason my surname is Jane is because I was picked." Jian Shui'er rested her head on her right arm, looked at Xu Le with jet-black eyes and said: " I don't know who my father is, who my mother is, just that they all died shortly after I was born."
Saying these words, Jian Shui'er herself felt strange, why she would tell an unfamiliar and possible blind date about her privacy that she seldom discloses. However, the feeling of speaking out was very easy. She suddenly thought that when she looked at Xu Le in a wheelchair in that sunny hospital nearly two years ago, she also seemed to have this kind of unreasonable closeness.
Xu Le held the wine glass in his hand, stunned slightly, lowered his head for a moment, and forced a smile: "Then I'm better than you, when my parents died, I was able to remember things... But when my poor sister left, what happened? I still don't remember."
Talking about the most unforgettable past events in life, but rarely shown, the distance between the two seems to be getting closer, especially Xu Le, who peeked at the face of the girl in the chair from the corner of his eye, just like watching a concert in Linhaizhou At the same time, he remembered many things about Donglin, his lovely younger sister Xianyi.
"I went to TV when I was twelve, and then started drinking red wine. Fortunately, I didn't drink like an idiot." Jian Shui'er rubbed her fluffy purple hair and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Justice He Ying would not have sentenced UNICEF to lose the case. ."
Of course Xu Le remembered this story. He looked at Jian Shui'er's face so close at hand, and suddenly found that he couldn't find any adjectives to describe the beauty of this young girl. It's lighter than "Ming Yan is indescribable", but it's thicker than "Qing and indescribable"...
"You are really cute." Xu Le nodded seriously and said, thinking that a real warrior should dare to face a splendid life and a beautiful face.
"I don't like when people say I'm cute, because film critics always say that I can only be cute..." Jian Shui'er pursed her lips, her smiling eyes narrowed into two curved lines, and said, "The problem is that I'm so cute by nature, Where do you need to dress up?"
Xu Le's body froze, and his mouth was dry from the shock of the girl's invincible demeanor. In an instant, he remembered a dream he once had, the most wonderful dream in his mind.
In the dream, it was a simple elementary school in a mountain village. He was walking on the stone road in the classroom for no reason. Next to him was a beautiful girl wearing black-rimmed glasses. In the classroom, the national girl named Jian Shuier was playing Playing the organ, with a group of deaf children singing a song called Red River Valley softly, from time to time they would look up at the window and look at themselves with a smile.
The content of the dream is very simple. Xu Le is walking non-stop outside the classroom, but his heart is full of happiness and joy that he has never experienced before.
In the dream, the national girl sat by the organ and looked at him with a smile, while Jian Shui'er looked at him with such a smile in reality.
Xu Le suppressed the emotional waves in his heart, looked down at the military watch on his wrist, and waited for the numbers on the light screen to change. Jian Shui'er looked at him curiously with a glass of wine, not knowing why he was silent at this time.
The number went to zero, meaning that the Federal Standard Time had passed overnight. No matter if Donglin is always stuffy in the four seasons, S3 or it is still snowing heavily, but in the federal standard time, this has already entered a certain day in the late autumn of the sixty-eighth year of the constitutional calendar.
This day is very ordinary. Today in the history of the Federal News Channel, it is difficult to find any major events that caused a sensation in the universe, but it was a very special day for the Federal Expeditionary Force many years ago and the girl in front of him. .
Xu Le picked up the red wine glass, looked at Jian Shui'er seriously, and said, "I wish you a happy nineteenth birthday."
Jian Shui'er looked at him in surprise, covered her lips in disbelief, and asked hesitantly after a long time, "How did you know?"
If you didn't want to have a lonely nineteenth birthday, you wouldn't have the courage to call yourself in for a drink and chat - Xu Le thought so, scratching his head and explaining embarrassingly: "I know your date of birth, I know your Shoe size, I know you like fisherman dark chocolate best, and I even know…”
He immediately shut up and didn't stupidly report Jian Shui'er's measurements. Although Jian Shuier is the most reclusive girl star in the Federation and does not accept interviews, she does not even have a brokerage company, so it is naturally impossible to report her measurements to the public. , obtained visually by senior editors, and is said to be extremely authoritative.
Jian Shui'er put down her red wine glass in disbelief. She never imagined that the legendary lieutenant colonel in front of her was also one of her loyal audiences. Although her fanatical supporters were all over the Federation, she knew very well. Xu Le is not an ordinary person.
Xu Le drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and scratched his head a little helplessly, but he was not brave enough to say that he liked you very much since he was a child, and turned into something stupid.
"I grew up watching your TV series."
Jian Shui'er was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but spit it out, laughing loudly. However, when she found that she had sprayed red wine on Xu Le's face, her cheeks turned slightly red, so she quickly jumped off the chair and found a handkerchief and handed it to him. .
For the first time in his life, Xu Le learned how to use the resentful eyes.
He knew that he had said something wrong, but Piansheng's words were actually the truth. He was just facing Jian Shui'er who sprayed the drink on his face. He couldn't complain, let alone get angry, so the pure man had no choice but to hold grudges.
It is said that when Jian Shuier was less than twelve years old, she played an orphan girl in that family comedy, and Xu Le was only less than two years older than her, which means that when he was thirteen years old, he began to watch the purple on the TV screen. The haired girl started a love that was separated by countless light-years.
After tidying up, Jian Shui'er made another bottle of Jiatong red wine like magic, raised her glass and looked at Xu Le seriously and said, "Thank you for helping me spend this birthday." In a word, thinking of the previous scene again, I couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Xu Le said embarrassedly, "Actually, people in the federation who remember your birthday are everywhere."
Jian Shui'er took a sip of wine slowly, her eyes were extremely bright, she quietly looked at the boy with small eyes in front of her, and felt that things in the world were really amazing. This is not a meeting between the audience and idols, nor is it the one who talks about bodyguards. In the movie, she knew that there was no class gap between herself and Xu Le, and the other party was not a real ordinary bodyguard or admirer.
"Are you very proud?" Perhaps it was the effect of red wine, Xu Le finally relaxed a little at this moment, looked at the girl and asked with a smile.
Jian Shui'er shrugged her shoulders, stretched out her slender fingers while sitting on the chair, her fingertips hooked a thin blanket from the bedside and draped it over her body, her eyes were lowered slightly, her eyelashes moved slightly, and she said softly, "This kind of The complacency is so powerful. A star is actually the most meaningless existence in the universe... As for me, it is a disaster star."
In addition to the faint self-deprecation in the girl's voice, there was also a trace of loneliness that did not match her age. Xu Le listened quietly and said silently in his heart: No, at least you have satisfied the spiritual life of many people, such as me, such as uncle, such as those idle miners in Donglin...
"Tell me about you. To be honest, I'm really curious." Jian Shui'er finished drinking the red wine in her glass, and looked at him with a smile, with a breathtaking look.
Xu Le raised his glass in amazement and was silent for a long time in front of the starlight outside the window. Since he escaped from Donglin, he has never reminisced about his past wantonly because of a certain dark identity. Today is Jian Shui'er's birthday, and he needs to make an exception.
Volume 3 Xilin's Journey Chapter 77 not a sad song Jian Shui'er knows Xu Le's relationship with the new MX mecha, and also knows that the military values him now, but she is still curious about many things about this young man , such as the girl who testified on Parliament Hill, such as the minister's daughter who was pregnant out of wedlock.
"I thought about it a few days ago." Jian Shui'er raised her eyebrows playfully and said, "You and the minister's daughter have never been married, but it seems that no one in the Ministry of Defense has brought you to Fa-rectification on the spot... It seems that It's a misinformation, or you're taking the blame for someone."
I have to say that although this national girl often shows her charming side in front of the people she is close to, she has lived in the most bizarre circle since she was a child.
In Xu Le's thoughts, the girl in the chair accompanied him throughout his adolescence, like growing up together. After the excitement and embarrassment of seeing the idol in his dream at first, the closeness that was deeply rooted in his mind gradually took over all , He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "About me... Maybe it's a long story, I don't know if you're interested in listening to it."
Jian Shui'er did not answer this sentence, she directly took out the third bottle of Jiatong red wine, filled the two glasses on the table with a smile, tilted her head slightly at the same time, lifted the purple hair by her ear, and rubbed it playfully. The earlobe made a cute look of listening attentively.
Xu Le scratched his head, trying his best not to be tempted by the picture of the green fingertips rubbing against the white jade earlobes. After a brief pause, he said, "On the first day of returning to the capital star circle, on the bus leaving the airport, I took a Bag of Puppy Cookies…”
The story begins here, Xu Le, who is the first to formally tell all his experiences, slowly and seriously recounts everything after he came to the capital star circle, including the girl with black-rimmed glasses, the FBI A young spy who only likes to smoke Sanqi brand cigarettes and is qualified to enter the Trinity Association, the prince of an aristocratic family who has never eaten scallion pancakes in the mecha battle room in the H1 area, stopped the black car on the No. 2 highway out of the city and cried bitterly. The girl in red dressed as Mo Yu...
He even talked about the assassination of Linhaizhou Gymnasium, the manufacture of MX mechas and many subsequent things. These things are no longer necessary to keep secret, and he needs to pour out... In the end, he even escaped from Donglin himself. It was also vaguely described again, but the details were not described.
I don't know how long this conversation has been going on. The stars outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the space battleship are still shimmering with eternal light, and the background of the universe seems to have not changed.
Jian Shui'er has been listening quietly. Occasionally, she drank the red wine in her glass. clear.
The national girl idol is not a good listener, because she never asks, "What about the future?" "And then?" The life story sends out infinite admiration.
Xu Le didn't need these, he just needed to pour out a quiet, trusting and loving audience. He lowered his head, held the red wine glass with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "When I decided to escape from Donglin, the sun was shining and the room was full of dust, like countless insects flying in front of my eyes, and it was like myself. I got phakic eye disease... It happened to be your sixteenth birthday, and that party was on TV."
He raised his head, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Actually, I can remember that today is your birthday, which has a lot to do with this matter. Today, three years ago, was also the day I decided to leave Donglin. ."
Jian Shui'er sat in the armchair like a child, with a thin blanket draped over her fragrant shoulders, her naked feet tucked into the hem of the one-piece sackcloth. She tilted her head and looked at Xu Le with interest. She heard the sadness in the man's last words, and finally broke the silence and asked carefully, "Did you think of someone?"
"I think of an uncle." Xu Le looked at Jian Shui'er, lowered his head and shook the red wine in the glass, holding the glass in both hands awkwardly, "It is because he died that I have to leave Donglin, come here. Only in the capital star circle will there be so many stories later... My uncle told me before he died, don't take revenge for him, but I have to find out who is trying to kill him... But in the end, I searched and found that The enemy should be a cold machine."
He drank the bloody wine in the glass and said with a hint of hesitation: "The machine has no moral right and wrong, it just works according to the program, and this machine seems to have a very close relationship with me now, Am I going to destroy it, or let it admit its fault and be moved to tears with grief and regret?"
"That old thing doesn't have tear ducts."
If he hadn't drank too much, Xu Le would never have said the above words, but at this moment, a voice faintly came from his mind: "Why not?"
This voice is very ethereal and fleeting, and he didn't notice it after drinking. Similarly, Jian Shui'er, who had drank a lot of red wine and had rosy cheeks, didn't hear anything different from this sentence.
"I remember my sixteenth birthday very clearly." Having drank at least two bottles of Jiatong's Jian Shui'er, she raised her arms drunkenly and said, "I am very happy, not because I can finally buy wine myself, but Because my dead ghost father prepared a trust gift for my sixteenth birthday in advance... Well, it's this chain, it looks very inconspicuous, but I'm still very happy."
Xu Le's emotions were still immersed in the ecstasy of escaping from Donglin's life and death. Listening to the word "gift", he thought that when the uncle kicked him into the sewer, he also gave him a huge gift. Bracelet for own escape.
He also drank a bit too much, so he leaned over and put his bracelet in front of Jian Shui'er. At the same time, he grabbed Jian Shui'er's arm and looked at the bracelet curiously.
There is a row of extremely subtle symbols on the bracelet. Under the indifferent starlight, if Xu Le is not drunk and still has too many sharp eyes beyond ordinary people, he will not be able to find it. This row of symbols is the ancient alphabet he had learned.
“Hey jude, don’t make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better…”
"Sing a sad song to make the world a better place." Jian Shui'er withdrew her arm from Xu Le's hand and said with a smile, "That's why I want to sing."
"My bracelet is also engraved with words, but it's a bit old-fashioned, what kind of moral starry sky." Xu Le poured himself another glass of wine and drank it. Looking at the bracelet on the white jade-like arm of the girl on the chair, a sudden thought came into his heart. It's a very strange feeling, probably a sense of intimacy that comes from many of the same experiences and details
"You sing very well." Xu Le looked at the girl in the chair very seriously, watching her eyelashes gradually closed due to drunkenness, and said softly: "You are not a disaster, really."
Jian Shui'er, who was already in the drunken town, replied vaguely subconsciously: "You don't know, all disasters and deaths have been with me since I was born. I... is a disaster star."
When she woke up, Sister Tong finished washing up, and then seriously asked the sleepy female assistant to confirm that the door of the room had never been opened. She turned and went back to her room, staring at her watch like a countdown bomb, then she ate two breakfasts, drank three glasses of milk, did fifty pushups, and sat in her room again I stayed for a long time, but I still haven't made up my mind what to do.
It was 4:30 in the morning. She should have been sleeping peacefully on the bed, but she couldn't sleep because she knew that the young lady invited Xu Le to her room yesterday... And it's been so long, that man hasn't come out yet, this The fact made her feel extremely flustered, but even if what happened to this young man and woman, it was the result of the elders' acquiescence or even connivance arrangement, should she interrupt
At this moment, Sister Tong couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the eldest young master of the Li family, who has not even held the hand of the young lady.
Seventeen minutes passed, and it seemed like seventeen hours had passed for her. Finally, she couldn't wait any longer. If the people on the space battleship discovered that Xu Le had only left the lady's room in the early morning... After the news spread , what about the reputation of the national girl? How will she mix in the literary and art circle in the future
She took out the spare key, opened the door, and felt a little relieved, because the young lady was leaning on the bed cutely drunk, and Xu Le, who was worried about her, was staring at the stars in the universe by the window in a daze, holding a glass of red wine in both hands , and there were nine empty bottles on the carpet in the room.
Under Sister Tong's murderous gaze, Xu Le rubbed the corners of her brow embarrassedly and walked out of the room. In fact, his alcohol intake was not that great. The two of them drank ten bottles of Jiatong red wine in one night, and Jian Shui'er was already drunk. He also woke up after being drunk and had a severe headache.
He walked through the passage in the core area with a dry mouth, and there was only his voice in the quiet passage in the early morning. However, when he quietly walked down the gangway, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, his legs softened, and he almost fell.
The living area under the ladder is full of people. During the period of less than five in the morning, the people who should have been resting in their cabins are holding back their drowsiness and waiting for something here. Is already asleep on the sofa.
"Come on! Come out!" Someone shouted, and the originally quiet living area suddenly woke up, and everyone rubbed their eyes and looked at the gangway.
A battleship officer stood up, looked at the military timer in his hand, and said loudly, "Fifteen hours and thirty-three minutes... forty-two seconds!"
As soon as Xu Le walked into Jian Shui'er's room, the good people on the battleship started timing. Many people even endured drowsiness and wanted to see the end of this good show.
When the time-keeping ended, the soldiers in the rest area stood up and naturally separated a path. Seeing Xu Le in the ladder, he began to applaud enthusiastically, mixed with harsh applause and whistles.
The applause was warm, the whistles were flying around, and the rest area in the early morning was extremely lively. Xu Le stared at these people stiffly, and was even more shocked to discover... Not only the good soldiers and the men of the seven groups in the rest area, but even Captain Ye Xiaotong, the highest commander of the battleship, also came here in person.
The female captain with a poker face, holding a cup of hot coffee, smiled and toasted, congratulating Xu Le.
