Chapter 33 You are different from them after experiencing life and death
"I am back."

Xiao Ye walked in, sat on the small stool by the door and took off her shoes.Tang Diwei hummed, his eyes still staring at the manuscript paper, motionless.

Su Xiaoye became curious and asked him: "What are you writing?"

"Don't tell you."

It didn't work. Xiaoye never took Tang Diwei's warning seriously and just leaned in to take a look.Tang Diwei raised his arm to block, but Xiaoye pushed him down sideways, so he had to get out of the way.

Xiaoye saw clearly the writing on the draft paper: "Study summary?"

Tang Diwei said: "I participated in a training some time ago and I have to hand in this summary later. I thought it would be smoother to write my ideas by hand, but it ended up being a dead end."

When he spoke, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly and his eyes scanned the manuscript paper back and forth.

Was it the days when he disappeared?
Seeing his helpless face, Su Xiaoye burst into laughter.

"Bring it here!" She acted bravely and righteously, "I'll write it for you!"

Tang Diwei shifted his gaze from the manuscript paper to her and raised his eyebrows: "You write for me? Can you write?"

Su Xiaoye only left him with a mysterious smile: "Here, give me the electronic watch!"

She ran to the bedroom, took out her laptop, and plugged it in on the dining table.Tang Diwei sent the form online, and Su Xiaoye carefully looked at the study experience requirements and found that they were all pragmatic.She asked, "You still have to pay this thing after you are discharged from the army?"

"The last time."

"Oh, I understand." She rolled up her sleeves, opened WORD, and said, "Don't talk to me from now on."

Half an hour later, a 1500-word study experience was placed in Tang Diwei's mailbox. Tang Diwei opened the document and scanned it from beginning to end. Then he looked at Su Xiaoye, his eyes a little unfamiliar.He held the mouse in his right hand and slid the document around unconsciously. "It's very well written. I didn't expect you to be able to do this."

Su Xiaoye raised her little face in a sullen tone, scratched her chin with her index finger, and smiled: "Do you think I got the exam for village official for nothing? I bought a book on applied official document writing and learned it after I came back."

Although the college student village official examination does not require an essay test as much as the civil service examination, it does include error correction questions and writing questions on practical essays, so Su Xiaoye put in a lot of hard work.She can now handle all kinds of official documents such as summaries, insights, reports, letters, etc.

Tang Diwei sent the email, turned off the computer, and stood up: "Okay, to thank you, I'll treat you to dinner."

Su Xiaoye had just started thinking, and now she felt her stomach growling. She was so hungry that she could chew a cow. She said happily: "Okay."

They went out and ate some unauthentic Western food at the nearby Peninsula Western Restaurant. Su Xiaoye was in a good mood.Tang Diwei saw that the corners of her mouth raised every few minutes and said, "Are you so happy to help me work? Smiling like this..."

A motorcycle was driving illegally on the sidewalk, speeding past and brushing against them.Su Xiaoye quickly ducked back and grabbed the corner of Tang Diwei's clothes.Tang Diwei subconsciously opened his arms to protect her behind him.Su Xiaoye was behind him and said, "Of course I'm happy if someone invites you to dinner!"

"Auntie, this is called repaying kindness." Tang Diwei turned around, lifted her to his side, and walked side by side, "The dark circles under your eyes are so serious. What did you do last night?"

"It's a class reunion."

I don't know if it was Su Xiaoye's illusion, but she felt that there was a subtle change in Tang Diwei's expression.

The light in those dark eyes dimmed.

He said, "Has your male idol gone?"

"I've gone. I saw him." Without hiding anything from others, she said openly, "He's more handsome than before. It's just that he doesn't have a good eye for choosing wives."

If Tang Diwei asked further, she wouldn't mind telling everything about last night, as it would be a channel for her to vent.

Tang Diwei did not speak.

Slightly disappointed, Su Xiaoye looked at the road ahead, kicking the stones on the roadside as she walked: "It's so strange, I have no feelings for him at all. Even if he asked me for WeChat, I didn't want to give it to him. I I had a fight with them before I left, it’s really strange, why were you so obsessed with this kind of pretty boy back then?”

"...Little boy?"

"Yeah, you know, it's the kind of genteel, not at all manly... Uh. Isn't it good to talk about people behind their backs like this?"

Tang Diwei smiled, with a smile filling his eyes. He shook his head, "No, just say whatever comes to mind."

(You say more bad things about him, I like to hear it.)
He asked again: "Why did it change so suddenly?"

(It’s better to get to the bottom of it. Know yourself and the enemy and win every battle. This is a tough battle.)

With a soft "pop" sound, Su Xiaoye kicked away a broken brick half the size of a fist. She gasped in pain, "What do you think? If it were you, you would have experienced your father's death within half a year. All the relatives you thought were good have turned against you, and your outlook on work is changing every day. Will you still be in the mood to dwell on the love affairs you had in the past?"

She turned to look at Tang Diwei, who looked down at the road and walked silently.After walking more than ten meters, Tang Diwei said: "No. Before I was 16 years old, my parents interfered with me a lot. Later, after I signed up to be a soldier, they never took care of me again."

This was the first time that he took the initiative to mention something about himself. Su Xiaoye opened her mouth slightly, feeling quite surprised.

The two walked for a while to the canteen downstairs.

Tang Diwei turned in and bought a pack of cigarettes.

"do you mind?"

Xiaoye shook his head.

She used to hate men smoking, but in the past few months when she stayed in villages and town halls, she found that smokers were everywhere, and gradually she no longer adhered to this principle.

Tang Diwei lit the cigarette skillfully and slowly blew out the smoke ring.They stood under the redbud tree at the entrance of the canteen. The sun was just right at noon, making their limbs warm and comfortable.

"I remember my first survival training in Ali. It was midnight, there were no stars or moonlight in the sky, and the wind was as strong as a wild beast roaring. I crawled on the ground and reached out to grab something hard. I got it to myself When I saw it in front of me, it turned out to be a bone of an unknown animal. I was so frightened that I cried on the spot, and our commander beat me, scolded me, and said, why cry, there is nothing to cry about!"

Su Xiaoye was fascinated, but Tang Diwei stopped and took another deep breath of cigarette.The white smoke slowly dispersed, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, immersed in the past.Seeing him stop, Su Xiaoye couldn't help but ask: "Is it so violent?"

"I want to thank him for his strictness. If the training is not strict, wouldn't we be forced to die when we start working officially in the future?"

Su Xiaoye repeated these words, her almond-shaped eyes widened, seeming to understand.

Tang Diwei touched the top of her head and smiled: "Actually, what I mean is that you have experienced life and death, and you are different from them. Just like I completed that survival training, my whole person has changed. So your thoughts have completely changed. It’s normal. You don’t need to be confused, just follow your intuition.”

Xiaoye understood and smiled.The sun shone on her face, and a faint blush appeared on her delicate oval face.Tang Diwei glanced at her and was stunned.

A silver-gray Lexus approached from a distance and parked on the side of the road.Gu Yiqian was sitting in the car, and Guan Yuexin was sitting next to him.Gu Yiqian saw two people under the crape myrtle tree, their handsome faces elongated. He reached out to turn off the navigation and asked Guan Yuexin: "Who is he?"

Guan Yuexin looked at Tang Diwei who was touching Su Xiaoye's head and shook his head in horror: "I don't know! I don't know him!"
