"You're really not impressed?"
Two hours later, Gui Xiao was in the passenger seat of his car and couldn't help but ask.
"I have an impression of that time and mission, but not people," Lu Yanchen put his left arm against the window glass, propped his head up, and turned the steering wheel with his right.
Moreover, violent terrorists were rampant at that time, and their squadron was temporarily transferred. The time was urgent and the task was urgent. In addition, they had to avoid large-scale stampede accidents, and they had to investigate the lawless elements who took the opportunity to cause trouble. The ears were full of screams and roars, fear and cursing, the faces in front of them were terrified, everyone was desperately trying to squeeze out to a safe place, everyone was afraid of being pushed under the crowd, and instinctively To push and shove everything around, find a way to escape.
At that time, he didn't have time to pay attention to the difference between people's facial features, long hair or curly hair...
Gui Xiao thinks it makes sense.
She turned to look out the window, and it was still a sea of cars. The two cars they and their cousin drove out of the community one after another to go to Jinbao Street near Gui Xiao's house for dinner, but were blocked by martial law.
The cousins were all there, and they were waiting with hundreds of cars on the street corners decorated with colorful lights. Xidan.
"I used to go shopping here in high school," Gui Xiao pointed to Lu Yanchen's left side, "one is here, and the other is the clothing wholesale market next to the zoo. I have a cousin who is very good at haggling, and I can save a lot by taking her with me every time. Qian. When you saw that cousin today, he was a follower when he was a child. We didn't want to take him shopping, so we left him at home, and he complained."
Lu Yanchen put his hand by the car window, facing the cold wind, and looked at the dense layers of pedestrians and all kinds of lights outside, the lights of buildings, the roadside, and the shop signs that could not be seen to the end.
This is the "stable and prosperous" that he and his brothers swore to guard at the border.
The worldly atmosphere is strong, but it is unfamiliar to Lu Yanchen.
When he was young, he lived in the outer suburbs of Beijing, and he did not go to the urban area very often. Later, he took the university entrance examination in Nanjing again. Except for returning to Beijing after Gui Xiao proposed to break up, he really never came back. Therefore, Lu Yanchen's familiarity with this well-known commercial scenic spot where his household registration is located is almost zero.
Why do you say "almost"
Because last night he turned over the map and studied the route from the airport to the homeroom teacher's house and then to Gui Xiao's house.
Soon, road restrictions are over.
The sea of cars was still moving slowly, and in the navigation, monotonous and gentle robotic voices came out from time to time, reminding the road conditions. It took another half an hour to drive from the Xidan intersection to the underground garage of the hotel on Jinbao Street.
Gui Xiao wanted to call his cousin so they could start serving dishes. When she lowered her head to look through the numbers, the hair on her shoulders slipped down, she raised her hand to stroke it, and saw him looking at her.
"I'll give Pan Hao a call," she said.
"Call back five minutes later."
"… it is good."
The car was quiet, she thought he should have something to say, waited, pondered, and thought how long he would hear to prepare him for so long, but in the end there was only one sentence: "The Zhao Minshan incident is over. "
Every word, jumping, rippling in the car.
Gui Xiao smiled slightly, and his mood suddenly became too good.
Lu Yanchen smiled when he looked down at her, and also smiled when he tilted his head to look out the window, so he knew how happy she was.
Although this sentence is simple, the process has many twists and turns.
Lu's mother was soft-hearted, and went to the garage for Zhao Minshan several times to persuade Lu Yanchen, but Lu Yanchen coldly went back; on the contrary, when Lu's father heard that his son was going to repay the debt, he didn't need to spend his own money, and he had the best in town by his side. The wealthy and powerful Qin Feng and his wife mediated there, slapped their hands directly, and said nothing; in the end, only Zhao Minshan thought that Tong Yanchen was a poor soldier and a bachelor, but he would rather pay back one million yuan than marry. Oneself, life and death could not cross the hurdle in my heart, and refused to let go.
Lu Yanchen took a firm attitude towards this: it is only right and proper to pay back the debt. It's pointless to talk about anything else.
He also thought that there was nothing wrong with the Zhao family in this matter. At most, he was eager to marry a daughter. He also thought that a person who had just returned from the army must be eager to marry a daughter-in-law, thinking it was a beautiful thing. But he really can't marry. If Zhao Minshan wants to delay it, it doesn't matter to him to delay it for a few years. Anyway, the marriage will not end.
These words really hit the other side's dead end.
It was Zhao Minshan who suffered the loss in the end. Lu Yanchen was not someone she loved too much to marry.
That night, Qin Feng came with Zhao Minshan's message of agreeing to break off the marriage, and Lu Yanchen immediately took a cold shower, didn't sleep all night, and demolished three cars in a row. I drove the kids out for a drive in the morning.
Going around the shops in the town, I went to find Gui Xiao's favorite knife-cut noodle restaurant in the past.
After so many years, it is still there, but the store is still as big as it is in a different place.
The child heard that Aunt Gui Xiao liked to eat, and he was happy to eat.
The boss recognized Lu Yanchen, and the first sentence he asked him was the little girl he used to be: "In the past, you used to bring a little girl to eat, and the little girl was very handsome and liked spicy food. Eating a bowl of noodles can make me half my size. A bottle of hot sauce. It's summer, I see her sweating when she eats it." The boss laughed, and Lu Yanchen laughed when he heard it.
Hearing this, he also felt that the boss was very discerning, so many students and regular customers back then could remember Gui Xiao.
…
There was an old song playing on the radio.
Gui Xiao rested his head on the backrest, tilted his head, and looked at him. As soon as the car was turned off, it became darker, but the light in the garage was bright. Lu Yanchen unfastened his seat belt and looked back at her with a face against the light.
Gui Xiao bit his lip and smiled again.
The smile fell in his eyes, and he had to think about doing something, so he approached: "So happy?"
"Of course I'm happy, why didn't you tell me earlier?" It had been nearly six hours from the airport to Xiao Nan's homeroom, and then he said it now.
"I'll do business with you in the afternoon, it's hard to say."
She didn't hear it right, and whispered thoughtfully: "This is also a business."
I felt the back of my neck being clasped by his palm.
Gui Xiao was silent, his heart was beating, beating... holding his breath, pressing his throat hard.
Her shadow was locked in those dark pupils: "Gui Xiao?"
…
Gui Xiao sniffed, and with the palm of his hand around her neck, he used his strength to bring her over. When Gui Xiao was still about to say something, he leaned over his head, blocked her mouth, and brought a cigarette with him. Spicy choke on her mouth...
There was also a lot of sweat on the palm behind her ear, whether it was his or hers.
His breath was overwhelming, and the feeling she missed the most, no matter how arrogant or unfriendly this man was in the eyes of outsiders, but his kiss was only clear to Gui Xiao, and it was gentle.
Gui Xiao has never kissed anyone, but he has seen a lot of TV and text descriptions, but he can't find the feeling of kissing Lu Chen.
Whether it is the way of kissing you or the act of cuddling, you can feel that this man is reluctant to make you feel a little bit uncomfortable and uncomfortable. So until now, she insists on telling anyone that she likes gentle men the most.
That kind of tenderness, the most intimate people can understand.
Lu Yanchen felt that she was responding to him, and he went to stroke her back from top to bottom, and in his blood flowed the feeling that he had recalled hundreds of thousands of times. It was indescribable. .
…
It is no exaggeration to say that the breakup with Gui Xiao once cost him most of his life, but now he still has lingering fears.
It would have been more painful for him if it wasn't for the army, with daily training from morning to night, and those sudden training camps that took away all personal time. No matter whether it is the desert with the scorching sun, the grassland with the torrential rain, or the deep mountains where you can't see your fingers, all the experiences are helping him to wash the name Gui Xiao away from his mind over and over again...
It is said that men do not cry easily, but he really cried for Gui Xiao.
Not the kind of wailing, nor the chaos, nor all the dramatic heart-wrenching scenes that he didn't even expect to see. She said she broke up, he called over and over again, she hung up again and again, and didn't say anything to him for most of the time. The frontier areas are strictly managed, and ordinary soldiers are not allowed to use mobile phones. He has no other option but to make calls.
After going back and forth a few times, he gave up, fearing that she would be scolded by her family if she beat her too much. It was not until half a year after the breakup that he finally had the opportunity to come to Beijing, and he would go back the next day.
Gui Xiao still refused to see him that night.
He didn't go home, and he had nowhere to go. He was aimlessly walking back and forth outside the train station on "voluntary patrols" to pass the time. From late night to dawn, when he looked up to see the time on the big clock, his eyes suddenly became sore and hot.
No one will find out, but he knows it well, that he really cried.
