The promise is old, the meeting is just right

Chapter 13 I Can't Wait Any Longer
After getting drunk, the veterans got on the train to the train station one after another the next day, preparing to return home.He Xiao went to the station with Cheng Mian, and sent away the young couple Song Xiaowei and Zhao Huifang, as well as other veterans of the reconnaissance company.

From the very beginning, he wanted to send his soldiers away properly, but it seemed that he had tried too hard. After going through all kinds of things, the only thing he wanted now was to say goodbye easily.He hugged them one by one, walked them to the car, and waved them goodbye with a small smile.Inexplicably, some of the sadness of parting was downplayed.He seemed to have figured it out. Going out to see the world was not only a new beginning for them, it might also be a good thing.

After the veterans were sent away, the camp became much quieter.However, the army still has its own cycle of life after all. As soon as a group of veterans are sent away, the next batch of recruits will arrive.This year's recruiting and training tasks did not fall on Cheng Mian's head, so before the first batch of recruits arrived, Company Commander Cheng seized the time to enjoy the rare leisure time and asked for leave to go out.

Before he left, he didn't inform He Xiao. He wanted to give her a surprise, but when he arrived at He Xiao's community, he found no one at home.Cheng Mian rang the doorbell a few more times, and then called He Xiao resignedly.The call was connected very slowly, and the background was very noisy, which made He Xiao's voice extremely quiet. Fortunately, he had excellent hearing, so he heard immediately: "Are you at work?"

He Xiao asked him to wait in a low voice, and found a quiet place to answer the phone: "Why are you calling now, is there something wrong?"

"Going back to work? Didn't you say you don't want to do it anymore?"

"Well."

Cheng Mian frowned, and looked helplessly at the house number above her house: "Smile, I'm outside your house."

He Xiao let out an ah, opened his eyes wide and looked at the sun outside, suddenly felt that this was too coincidental.

In about 10 minutes, Cheng Mian appeared in front of the base tube center building on time.He Xiao was standing in front of the steps waiting for him, seeing him getting off the car with a blank expression, he was a little bit embarrassed.

Cheng Mian walked up to her slowly, stared at her for a few seconds, then patted her forehead with his fingers: "Be honest."

He Xiao covered her head and looked at him with some amusement: "Are you interrogating a prisoner?"

As soon as he saw her smiling face, he couldn't be fierce anymore, but he still had to keep it serious. He slapped her hand off, and flicked her messy bangs: "Don't laugh, tell me, when will you come back to work?" ?”

"I just came back yesterday. It was our section chief who called me and said that he was too busy at the end of the year and asked me to come and help."

In fact, He Xiao didn't want to set foot in this place again. If the section chief hadn't taken care of her when she first came, she probably wouldn't have agreed.Moreover, when she came back this time, director Zhang of the center could not make things difficult for her like before.As for Chief Liu, he didn't even dare to look her directly in the eyes.He Xiao laughed and felt the treatment of having a backstage.

"Do you have time this afternoon?" Cheng Mian asked.

He Xiao was a little embarrassed, when was it his turn to ask this question?

"You can go anytime," she said. "What do you want?"

What else can I do?Of course - a date!
Five minutes later, a Dongfeng jeep leisurely drove on the main road in downtown B.He Xiao sat on the co-pilot, looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, couldn't help but smiled, causing Cheng Mian to turn his head: "What are you laughing at? Have you decided where to go?"

He Xiao leaned his elbows against the car window, deliberately not looking at him: "You didn't ask me to come out? Why are you asking me again?"

The two of them had never had such a serious date, it felt novel, but they didn't know what to do.Cheng Mian smiled slightly when she heard her words: "Forget it, it feels pretty good to drive around the street like this."

He Xiao was speechless for a minute, and when he saw the billboard on the square not far away, he suddenly had an idea: "How about watching a movie?"

It coincided with the release of a blockbuster movie today, and the two chose the nearest show, picked a seat at the back, and checked in the tickets.The light in the projection hall was very dark, which made Cheng Mian a lot easier. After all, he came out in military uniform today, and he looked particularly dazzling in the brightly lit place.

He held He Xiao's hand and stroked it slowly.While there was still some time before the movie started, he said to her, "Smile, I have already handed in the marriage report."

He Xiao hummed with a rising voice, and when he understood what he was talking about, he suppressed the rapid heartbeat and hummed flatly.

Cheng Mian smiled: "After the political review, I will go to issue a letter of introduction, and then I can go to get the certificate."

Obtaining a certificate is obviously a very romantic and meaningful thing, but after he said that, how did it become so procedural?He Xiao fell silent.

Company Commander Cheng had no choice but to add: "You can't go back on your word this time, you've already promised me before."

"I agreed, but my parents haven't let go." The account book is still in Ms. Tian's place.

Thinking of the two elders of the He family, especially He Xiao's mother Tian Ying, Cheng Mian felt a little headache.He glanced at He Xiao, in the darkness, he only felt that her eyes were bright, and her sly look seemed to be making things difficult on purpose.

"Don't worry." The opening song of the movie has already played slowly, Cheng Mian can only lower his voice, and whisper in her ear, "As long as I can get married, I will admit it even if I open the window and steal the household registration book."

He Xiao burst out laughing, and then went to look at Cheng Mian, who had already sat back in his seat with a serious expression on his face.

The movie I chose was a standard romance movie. Several couples loved each other to death on the screen, but Cheng Mian in the audience felt a little drowsy watching it.In the end, I simply fell asleep, and when I woke up, the movie had already ended.

Company Commander Cheng was somewhat embarrassed: "I fell asleep, maybe I was too tired recently."

He Xiao straightened his hat and said, "It's okay, I just woke up not long ago."

Cheng Mian was startled, looking at her, both of them immediately laughed.He finally understood that the end of two rookies dating is to sleep head to head in a movie theater!

After leaving the cinema, the two of them were not in the mood to hang out. They bought some ingredients, fruits and vegetables in the supermarket and went home immediately.After entering the house, He Xiao took off his coat and went into the kitchen with his things.Cheng Mian looked around in each room and found that there was nothing that could be of use to him, so he followed into the kitchen.

"Has the young couple moved away?"

He Xiao was burying her head in chopping vegetables, but she didn't realize what she heard at first: "What kind of young couple?"

Cheng Mian took the knife in her hand and signaled with her chin while cutting: "The couple who live in the building in front."

Following Cheng Mian's gaze, He Xiao understood.With a flushed face, she twisted his waist: "I still have the guts to ask." She is still too shy to talk to them.

Cheng Mian raised her eyebrows: "If you don't leave, invite them to the wedding at that time."

"If you please please, I won't lose that person." He Xiao muttered in a low voice.

Cheng Mian washed his hands, and took advantage of the opportunity to circle He Xiao: "What's the shame, at worst, let them see it."

Is this still negotiable?He Xiao really convinced him, but before he could refute, someone bowed his head and kissed him.He gently leaned her against the wall, lifted her chin slightly, sucked her lips, and slowly poked her in.He Xiao had no experience in kissing, so he became dizzy after a while, so he pushed him hard, and after a while, Cheng Mian let go.

She put her head on Cheng Mian's shoulder, listened to each other's panting, and asked in a soft voice: "Why are you so good..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Cheng Mian already understood what she meant, he smiled, and kissed her soft earlobe lightly: "Natural."

The itchy touch made He Xiao want to hide.Cheng Mian refused, he took her hand over her head and pressed it against the wall, then leaned down and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, can you do it tonight?"

He Xiao couldn't hide, so he had to say: "Without protection, I..."

"Don't worry," he said, "I'm prepared."

He Xiao looked up in surprise, ready?When?Why doesn't she know?
Cheng Mian blinked innocently: "Just now at the supermarket..."

His face flushed red, He Xiao almost wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.At this time, he didn't feel ashamed. He didn't know what the cashier thought when he was wearing a military uniform and buying that kind of thing in the supermarket.

He Xiao didn't know what to say, under Cheng Mian's bright and enthusiastic gaze, she finally compromised in a low voice: "I'm hungry, can I eat first?"

Cheng Mian smiled.

Seeing him smiling brightly and contentedly, He Xiao couldn't help despising herself in her heart.It's obvious that he has a thick skin, so why does it look like she owes him now?
He Xiao was fidgeting all night. Although it wasn't as bad as having a knife hanging from his head, he was still a little nervous.

Before going to sleep, He Xiao dawdled in the bathroom for nearly an hour and a half before putting on pajamas and pajamas and coming out, looking at Cheng Mian who was sitting on the bed behind him while wiping her waist-length hair in the mirror.He washed it before her, didn't grind it at all, and finished it in less than half an hour. After that, he sat there with his head down and put her laptop on his lap, looking at it very seriously.

He Xiao put down the towel, and walked over curiously. When she got closer, she felt a little regretful, because she had already glimpsed the photos on the computer, and her face immediately became hot.

She closed the computer a little angrily: "I bought everything, why are you still looking at this?"

That's right, Company Commander Cheng is searching the Internet for the correct usage and precautions of condoms.Although he is still very confident in himself, he has to do enough homework, so as not to make any mistake and offend this little aunt, then I am afraid there will be no next time.

In contrast, Cheng Mian was much thicker-skinned.He put the computer aside very calmly, grabbed He Xiao's slender waist and let her sit on his lap.He Xiao was still struggling at first, but he couldn't resist this man's strength.

"It's called being prepared." He said, "And I found that there are quite a few varieties of this thing. We will try them all when we have the chance. Anyway - the future will last forever."

He Xiao laughed angrily at Cheng Mian's words, and stretched out his hands to pinch his face. Instead of hiding, he leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek, slowly reaching her shoulder. The faint fragrance filled his nose, and he couldn't help hugging her tightly. Tighter, breathing is also a little unsteady.

"The bath?"

He Xiao gave a low hum. Such a close distance allowed her to truly feel his moist and hot breath, which made her shudder a little.Cheng Mian smiled and turned her around to face him.Seeing that she wanted to hide, he grabbed her lips in the direction of her head, and took advantage of the situation to enter.He teased the tip of her soft tongue, half-sucking and half-sucking.He Xiao couldn't hide, so he put his arm on his shoulder in a daze.

Feeling that He Xiao was getting a little out of breath, Cheng Mian let go of her a little bit, and said vaguely while pecking her lips, "Aren't you going to hide?"

He Xiao pushed him with what little strength he had, and before he could protest, Cheng Mian kissed him again, staying for a few seconds and kissing down.The hem of the pajamas was lifted, and a hand slowly supported her waist.Because of years of training, the palm of this hand has a thin callus, and when it touches her delicate skin, it feels like it has been electrified.He Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, raised his neck with a low cry, and slid his fingers into Cheng Mian's half-wet hair.

Cheng Mian patted her on the back halfway comfortingly, but with the other hand, he unbuttoned the secret button of her bra.It was the first time for Cheng Mian to do this kind of thing, and the movements were unskilled. It took Cheng Mian quite a while, and because of this, he seemed a little impatient. With a sound, the defense line collapsed.He immersed himself in the two points one by one, and regardless of He Xiao's struggle, he tightly clasped her waist.The other hand reached down, teasing slightly jerky. Hearing He Xiao's gasp, he could feel that she had slowly entered the state.

"Cheng Mian..." There were tears in He Xiao's eyes, and she asked him to let her go in a begging tone.

Unmoved, Cheng Mian turned over and pressed her on the bed, kissing everything about her eagerly and passionately.He Xiao held the quilt under her body, grasping and releasing it from time to time, her slender legs were placed on both sides of her body by Cheng Mian, facing him fiercely in the middle, being teased by him, the little consciousness made He Xiao Xiao thought it might as well just pass out.After going back and forth like this for an unknown amount of time, He Xiao suddenly felt that her mind was completely emptied, as if floating in mid-air, she couldn't help twitching, and wanted to cry, but the pleasure hit her, and she had no reason and strength left.

In the dark and silent bedroom, only the sound of gasps and heartbeats between the two of them remained.Cheng Mian's forehead had long been covered with sweat. He hugged He Xiao, who looked extremely aggrieved and weak at the moment, kissed and comforted him, and opened the bedside table with the other hand to get a condom.He Xiao gradually came back to her senses, a little sensitive emptiness made her actively respond to Cheng Mian's kiss, and even rubbed against him with her legs, slowly approaching him.It was only the last blow, but Cheng Mian's movements gradually slowed down, and at the end - even stopped!
He Xiao felt something was wrong, she let go of her hand, looked at Cheng Mian panting, and asked with trembling voice: "What's wrong?"

Her answer was a crackling sound, and the bedside lamp was turned on. He Xiao couldn't bear the stimulation of the light, and covered her eyes with the back of her hand.After she got used to it, she slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a slightly annoyed face above her head.At this moment, she couldn't care less about feeling embarrassed by her behavior just now, she just looked at Cheng Mian with concern, and asked again: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Mian looked reluctant to talk about it, but He Xiao couldn't stand to keep asking, so he had to answer vaguely: "It's reversed."

Wear it backwards?What is worn backwards?He Xiao was acting a little bit, and didn't realize it until he saw the condom box on the bedside table.She couldn't help laughing out loud, almost dying...

On the second day, He Xiao woke up a little late.

The moment she opened her eyes, she heard a whistle coming from the kitchen. It was obviously Cheng Mian's humming.At first she was still in a trance, until she moved her legs and the soreness all over her body was awakened, and He Xiao also woke up.

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Cheng Mian!"

Company Commander Cheng came out of the kitchen with the dinner plate, and poked his head cheerfully, "Wake up and smile? Wash up and get up for breakfast, I just made it—"

The conversation stopped abruptly when he saw He Xiao's face. Although she looked like I was getting angry, the blush on her face couldn't deceive anyone. She was a little bit annoyed and a little bit shy, and she looked the most charming.

Cheng Mian put the things back on the dining table, went into the bathroom, and quickly turned back to the bedroom.He Xiaogang put his pajamas on with difficulty, and when he saw Cheng Mian's face with a slightly beating smile, he became angry for a while.She pushed away his outstretched hand, shivered and put on the slippers, trying to stand up, but with a little effort, her calves couldn't help shaking.

Seeing this, Cheng Mian couldn't help her to toss about herself, and directly hugged her horizontally: "If you want to be brave, you have the strength?"

He Xiao wanted to bite him, but didn't look at who was to blame?

At this time, Cheng Mian had forgotten how embarrassed he was last night, and kissed her with a smile, taking advantage of it, and then put her into the bathtub that was already filled with hot water.He bent down and smoothed He Xiao's long hair: "Wash it a little, don't soak it for too long, call me when you're done washing?"

He Xiao turned her head away and ignored him, but Cheng Mian knew that her attitude meant she agreed.Raising his eyebrows, he turned and went to the bedroom to fetch a change of clothes for He Xiao.

After a lot of tossing, it was almost ten o'clock after breakfast.There was still a meeting in the company in the afternoon, so Cheng Mian had to rush back.

Before leaving, he changed He Xiao's bed so that she could sleep comfortably.After washing a large bucket of clothes, he stewed the rice again, waiting for He Xiao to heat it up and eat it.After doing all this well, Cheng Mian felt quite a sense of accomplishment, which was different from the feeling he had when he won the military exercise. This kind of victory was equivalent to another victory on the battlefield, and it was far more meaningful than the previous one.

"Cheng Mian?"

When he got dressed and was about to leave, Cheng Mian heard He Xiao calling him in a low voice.He leaned over to the bed and looked at her: "what's the matter?"

"Be careful on the road." She whispered, her voice was a little weak.

"I know." Cheng Mian smiled and kissed her forehead, "Pay attention to rest at home, and I will take the rest of the family leave after a while, so I can accompany you well."

He Xiao rubbed his cuffs, thinking of something, she said: "By the way, what time can I ask Xu Yi to come to my house for a meal."

Company Commander Cheng is very comfortable using the term "family".He said: "After a while, he has gone to pick up soldiers in the past two days, and he is busy."

"Receive the soldiers?"

"Well, Sichuan."

Sichuan?He Xiao was stunned for a short while, and was very happy: "So, he should be able to see Tian Tian?"

Cheng Mian gave her the look you thought she had: "It's not just for her. As for whether you can see her, it's up to Xu Yi."

He Xiaoxin wondered why they couldn't see each other, but after thinking about it, she still felt that it was really possible.Although Chu Tian looked like a heartless girl without principles, if she really made a decision, she might not be easy to turn back.I hope the two don't get into such a deadlock.

Cheng Mian was a little hurt: "Why didn't I see you thinking about us so much, otherwise I would have been on the job with a certificate."

He Xiao glared at him, pouted inadvertently, and looked very pleasing.

Cheng Mian felt more and more that this was not going to work.marry!No one and nothing can stop it!Must get married!

When going to work on Monday, He Xiao received a call from Chu Tian from his hometown.Even through the phone, she could hear Chu Tian's heavy nasal voice, so she asked, "Crying?"

"No." Came a pretentiously cheerful voice, "The temperature in Sichuan has dropped in the past two days, and I have a bit of a cold."

He Xiao was still a little worried: "How is Auntie's situation? If it doesn't work, come to City B to have a look, don't delay."

"No need." Chu Tian said, "It's not that I haven't persuaded her, but my mother is too stubborn, and she doesn't want to leave her hometown to go to a place as far away as City B. And she's been doing well these two days, etc. talk later."

He Xiao hummed.

After a brief silence, Chu Tian sighed slightly: "Xiaoxiao, I called to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"I—" Chu Tian hesitated for a while, as if considering how to say, "I'm getting married."

Hearing this news, He Xiao choked on the water he just drank, and coughed for a long time before returning to the phone: "Are you sure you're not joking? Married?"

As if she had expected her reaction in this way, Chu Tian smiled lightly: "How can I joke with you about such a major life event, really smiling, I'm going to get married, probably within these two months."

He Xiao opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and asked her after a long time: "Tian Tian, ​​Xu Yi went to Sichuan to recruit soldiers, have you seen him?"

"I see." After a pause, Chu Tian said again, "If I hadn't seen him, who would I marry?"

Now He Xiao was completely dumbfounded. Although she sincerely hoped that the two could be together, when the news came too suddenly, she might have to digest it for a while.

"what happened?"

"Actually——I don't know too well." Thinking of the second when she first met Xu Yi in the hospital, Chu Tian was still a little dazed, but soon her eyebrows opened, and there was a faint smile on her mouth, "He proposed to me, and he asked so sincerely, I agreed as soon as I was soft-hearted."

What kind of answer does He Xiao think this is?
After hanging up the phone, He Xiao froze for 10 minutes, then quickly called Cheng Mian.Cheng Mian wasn't too surprised when he heard that, he just smiled and said, "Xu Yi is sometimes really unexpected."

"What's unexpected?" He Xiao's tone was a little anxious, "Before Xu Yi rejected people thousands of miles away, why did he suddenly say that he was going to get married now?"

Cheng Mian comforted in a low voice: "Although I can't understand what he is thinking, I can assure you that Xu Yi is not an irresponsible person. If he decides to get married, he will definitely take good care of Chu Tian."

He Xiao was still a little worried about Chu Tian.It wasn't that she questioned Xu Yi's character, but she was afraid that he, who had always been emotionally indifferent, would inadvertently hurt Chu Tian. After all, marriage was different from dating, and it was a lifetime event.

"Okay, smile." Cheng Mian interrupted her thoughts, "That's fine, maybe our wedding date can be set on the same day."

He Xiao was distracted by him temporarily, she looked at the sunlight coming in from the window, half puzzled and half jokingly asked back: "Are you sure you can get rid of my parents within two months?"

"..." Cheng Mian clenched his molars, took a deep breath, and answered her three words, "Wait and see!"

He Xiao smiled and closed the line, the corners of her mouth and eyes were full of sweetness that couldn't be concealed.Thinking of Chu Tian, ​​she sighed leisurely, she chose the path herself, and she can only wish her happiness.

Even instructor Xu, who has always been free from emotions and desires, began to talk about marriage. Cheng Mian refused to admit it, and began to feel a little anxious.It stands to reason that it is not impossible to insist on getting married. Anyway, he and He Xiao are in love with each other. However, both of them are people with strong family values. For a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, of course they want to gain approval and sincerity from their parents. Best wishes, on the wedding day, and wish they were all there.

Teacher Zhao couldn't help it anymore, and gave his son an idea: "How about this, let Xiaoxiao find a chance to invite Lao He and his wife out, and let the two families have a meal?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cheng Jianming first objected: "This is not good." He said, "I understand Lao He, he is not a person who embarrasses his children. The key is that Lao He's family members have to be strong-tempered, and the two families really want to sit together Talking about this matter at the dinner table may make her feel that we are forcing them."

"Then what do you think?" Teacher Zhao was so anxious that his glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose.It's not because of the son, man, it's not too late to get married at 30.She was worried about He Xiao, afraid that if something happened again, such a good girl would be married away by someone else.

Cheng Jianming didn't have any good ideas, he looked at his son with a look of disappointment: "Let Cheng Mian figure it out for himself, he is such a big man, his mother-in-law can't hold him down, so what are you talking about leading soldiers to fight?"

Teacher Zhao scoffed at him: "I don't know who I look like. If I hadn't insisted on not marrying you, maybe you still don't have a wife now!"

Being mercilessly scolded by his wife in front of his son, Cheng Jianming somewhat lost face. He pretended to clear his throat and coughed twice, which meant to remind his wife that enough was enough.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Cheng Mian was revising the training plan while listening to the conversation between the two. After hearing this, he couldn't help smiling, and stretched out his hands as a truce gesture.

"Come on, you two don't quarrel. I can handle my affairs by myself. I won't lose your daughter-in-law."

Having said that, but when he actually took action, he was still a little confused.Not to mention that he has never recruited Tian Ying to see him since he was a child, and when the field training started, he didn't even have time to come to the door to bump into a wall.In contrast, He Xiao was much calmer, she said to Cheng Mian: "Don't worry."

Cheng Lianchang stroked his head, a little helpless: "Are you just watching the fun now?"

He Xiao was busy revising the annual summary report. He was talking on the phone casually, but when he heard him gnashing his teeth, he couldn't help laughing.

"Cheng Mian." She called his name, "Old He said, I want you to come to my house for dinner, will you go?"

go!Of course go!Cheng Mian suppressed his excitement and asked, "When?"

Let's not say that she is watching the fun now?He Xiao snorted and said, "It depends on your time, my dad can do it anytime."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Mian was so happy that he couldn't find his way.

Hearing his parents mention it so many times, he already has a good grasp of the temperament of his future father-in-law.Without He Xiao's mother's approval, he might not have offered to let him go.Even if not, then he should be prepared to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mian became more confident.

The meal time was finally set before the Lunar New Year, and before that, Cheng Mian had to participate in Division T's annual field training.This time, he didn't run as far as last year, but a field training site near a mountain in the eastern suburbs of City B, which lasted for two weeks.

On He Xiao's side, after finishing his busy work, he began to go through the transfer procedures, preparing to take up a job at an agency in another district.Before that, what He Xiao was thinking about was resignation, firstly because of Section Chief Liu's affairs, and secondly because she really didn't like her current job.When she told her idea to the chief of her department, she was laughed and called too stupid.

After all, the Fundamental Management Center is a public institution, with guaranteed wages and pensions. How can anyone resign at will?Besides, if she chooses to resign at this time, some people in the center who don't know the reason may say that she has a guilty conscience, which is not good for her personal reputation.It's better to use the relationship between Section Chief Liu and Director Zhang to transfer to other units.

He Xiao thought about it for a few days, and felt that what the section chief said made sense.She asked Director Zhang for a transfer, and the latter acted as if he wanted her to leave quickly, so he hurriedly followed the procedures for her, and by virtue of his own relationship in the system, he transferred her to a unit that was very close to home and very leisurely. .He Xiao understood what he meant. He not only wanted her to leave, but also hinted that she should keep her mouth shut and not say anything that was not good for herself or others.

He Xiao thought it was funny, just thinking about such dirty things and people made her feel disgusting, why would she take the initiative to mention them?
After the job transfer, He Xiao suddenly had more time.But because I have been helping my classmates who run an advertising company to do some planning work, I am also very busy, and the number of times I go home is less than before, which makes Ms. Tian very dissatisfied. She calls every two or three days to urge her to take time go home.

This weekend, He Xiao's phone rang before he got up, Ms. Tian's exclusive ringtone.Every time Ms. Tian called on weekends, it was for one thing, and He Xiaolai didn't think about it in bed, so she didn't answer.But he didn't want the phone to ring again persistently, so He Xiao had no choice but to pick it up.

After connecting, the person on the other end did not speak, only a faint sobbing sound.He Xiao suddenly had a bad premonition, gripped the phone tightly, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Tian Ying seemed to have calmed down, and emphasized with a strong nasal voice: "Xiaoxiao, your father fell ill, come here quickly."

He Xiao only felt a bang in his head, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.The glass used to drink water after getting up in the morning slipped from his hand, and He Xiao didn't care about picking up the debris, just put on a piece of clothing and hurried to the hospital.

When He Xiao arrived at the hospital, Lao He had already left the emergency room and was lying on the bed in the ward.His mother, Tian Ying, was by the bed, and Zhuo Ran and Tu Xiao were both there.

He Xiao's heart was half relieved immediately, she calmed herself down, walked over to look at her father, only to see that his brows were tightly closed and his face was a little pale.She couldn't help feeling distressed, she turned her head and asked Zhuo Ran and Tu Xiao: "What's the matter with my father?"

The two looked at each other, and the older Tu Xiao said, "Don't disturb Uncle He's rest, let's go out and talk."

In the office, He Xiao looked at Tu Xiao anxiously: "Sister-in-law, what happened to my father?"

Tu Xiao handed her a film, thinking that she might not understand it, so he said: "Uncle He actually sent it over last night, and suddenly fainted and unconscious. I wanted to call you earlier, but Tian Auntie refused, saying that she can just watch it, and after staying up all night, seeing the CT film, Auntie Tian panicked, so she called you over."

He Xiao couldn't understand for a while: "Last night——did you faint?" Seeing that Tu Xiao nodded, she couldn't help asking, "What's the result of the examination?"

It was rare for Tu Xiao to hesitate, and under He Xiao's urging, he said, "Brain tumor."

As if the oxygen had been evacuated suddenly, He Xiao felt his eyes go dark, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.If she hadn't supported the table with both hands, she might have fallen to the ground.

Tu Xiao took a few quick steps and helped her steady: "Don't panic, it's not yet determined whether it's benign or malignant. Even if it's malignant, it's not the worst time."

He Xiao burst into tears. She didn't want to be weak, but she was finally overcome by the fear in her heart.

Tu Xiaowei sighed and handed her a tissue.

He Xiao held it in his hand, and after a while, he stopped crying.She asked hoarsely, "When will it be confirmed?"

"There are still some tests to be done, wait."

Wait.He Xiao closed her tears, another hot tear slipped down silently.

When he returned to the ward, Lao He had already woken up. He didn't know what he had said to Ms. Tian, ​​but she could only hear her nagging: "I will be living here for a few days, and we can still afford the hospitalization fee. Wait for the examination When the results come out, let’s talk about being discharged from the hospital, don’t keep thinking about your store, it won’t go bankrupt even if it’s closed for a few days.”

Old He was a little helpless, so he had to blink slightly at He Xiao.

He Xiao smiled, but the tip of her nose was sore.She restrained her emotions and asked Old He, "Dad, do you feel better?"

Lao He nodded: "It's much better, it's nothing serious."

"I know." She sat down next to the edge of the bed, and tucked the quilt tightly for him, "But Doctor Tu said, you'd better stay in the hospital for a few days in this situation, and check carefully to find out what's wrong."

"What could be wrong with me?" Old He's voice was tired, he patted the back of He Xiao's hand, and stopped talking.

From his father's tone, He Xiao knew that they couldn't hide it from him.Or maybe he was already mentally prepared, that's why he was so calm now.She had learned long ago that her father never let other people worry about him.It was precisely because of this that He Xiao felt even more sad.

When Lao He fell asleep again, his mother Tian Ying called He Xiao out, handed her a car key, and she said, "Your father has to stay here for a few more days, so go back and get us some clothes and Toiletries. It’s not a good day outside, so don’t worry, drive slowly on the road.”

Holding the car key in his hand, He Xiao couldn't help it: "Mom—"

"This child, why are you crying!" Tian Ying smiled and patted He Xiao lightly, "I'm 23, and my tears are still so shallow——"

"What about my dad?" She lowered her head and choked up.

"What else can I do? Get treatment if you are sick!" Tian Ying tied the scarf tightly for her, "The test results haven't come out yet, who knows what it will be like, even if it is the worst—"

He Xiao looked up at her, only to see Tian Ying paused for a moment, then recovered, "Even if it is the worst, it must be cured." After tying up the scarf, she patted her clothes, "Okay, let's go .”

Seemingly relieved, He Xiao raised her eyebrows and walked away quickly.

In the next two days, the hospital arranged several examinations for Lao He.He Xiao watched nervously, even the doctor couldn't help.Fortunately, it was Tu Xiao's elder who also knew about the relationship between them, so he only smiled and said that he had a little follower.

The waiting time for the results was less than a week, but for the He family, it seemed as long as a year.He Xiao took annual leave and stayed with him in the hospital every day. First, he was worried about Lao He, and second, he wanted to replace his mother and go back to rest.But Tian Ying was able to persuade her wherever she could. She clearly said that He Xiao was clumsy and couldn't take care of others. In fact, He Xiao knew that her mother's anxiety and worries were no less than hers.

Old He lived a life where he opened his mouth and stretched out his clothes for food, and he was happy every day: "I have served your mother and daughter for so many years, and it is finally my turn to enjoy it."

At this time, Tian Ying would have to stare at him: "No, I've enjoyed coming to the hospital!"

In the same hospital, Zhuo Ran and Tu Xiao often came to visit him, and they didn't mention anything about the brain tumor, only talking about their childhood.

Because of the pearl necklace, Tian Ying was very impressed with Zhuo Ran.Originally, there was nothing to talk about, but seeing that the girl is getting along with other girls, she doesn't care about it as a mother.In private, she still asked He Xiao.

"What's the matter? Why did you hang out with the girl from the Zhuo family again? Didn't it hurt you badly when you were young?"

He Xiao looked at her mother with a funny face: "You still remember, she has been a convict for a long time, and now she is with Hongqi, and she is ready to get married."

Tian Ying hooted, "You're also looking for soldiers?" She curled her lips, "Why can't everyone leave the army compound."

He Xiao was a little dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are soldiers not doing well?"

Tian Ying squinted at her: "How dare I say that being a soldier is not good? You just go and get married. When your father and I get old and sick, we will all be in the hospital. See if he can spare time to accompany you Come and serve the two of us, and see if you are the only one busy at that time!"

He Xiao thought to himself that there was no way to talk like that, but the facts were in front of his eyes. During the week that Lao He was hospitalized, a certain field training person hadn't come to see him once.Although Teacher Zhao came to visit the day before yesterday, my mother still felt that Cheng Mian was unreliable, and she couldn't just rely on these four old people at home, right?
He Xiao didn't blame Cheng Mian in her heart, because she never planned to tell him before the result came out, and Zhao Suyun was too anxious to ask, so she had to say it.The waiting time was tough, so she didn't want to worry him when he was too busy to give birth.

It would be a lie to say that there is no loss at all.He Xiao has already felt that she is becoming more and more dependent on Cheng Mian now, if he can be by his side, then she may be much better.

The night before the results came out, both He Xiao and Tian Ying stayed in the hospital.There was only one bed for the escort in the ward, so He Xiao moved Zhuo Ran's camp bed when he was on duty, and just made do with it.Because she knew that she couldn't sleep at all that night.

Both parents slept soundly.He Xiao woke up in the middle of the night, only to hear the shallow breathing of the two, even and long.She laughed that she was young after all, and her psychological quality was not as good as that of someone who had lived most of her life.Sitting on the camp bed in a daze for a while, she put on her military overcoat, opened the door and walked out quietly.

The entire first floor was very quiet, except for the nurses on duty in the nurse's station, she was the only one in the corridor.He Xiao walked to one end silently, looked at the moonlight outside through the window, it was pitch black, and no starlight could be seen.

After standing still for a long time, He Xiao felt that her legs were a little numb, so she wrapped her clothes tightly and sat on a bench beside her.She was not in a hurry to go back, anyway, she was lying there tossing and turning, she might as well sit here quietly for a while, so as not to disturb her parents' sound sleep.

A little bored, she took out her mobile phone to play games, but her mind was not on it, she lost a few games after playing a few games.Inexplicably, He Xiao felt a little frustrated, threw the phone aside, leaned his head against the wall and slowly closed his eyes.In the darkness, I could only hear my own heartbeat and the sound of approaching footsteps.

It's so late, who else will come?She slowly opened her eyes and bumped into a pair of familiar dark eyes, slightly surprised.

Cheng Mian was also a little surprised to see her, he paused, walked upstairs quickly, walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Why are you sitting here in such a cold day?"

Before He Xiao could react, he saw him bend down and button up all the buttons of her military coat.She smiled lightly and grabbed his arm: "what are you doing here now?"

Cheng Mian just lowered his head and said sullenly: "If you are willing to tell me, then I'm afraid I can come earlier."

He Xiao pouted: "Why did I tell you? Anyway, I'm waiting."

Cheng Mian was not moved by her realization, and said to her in a bad tone, "Stop sitting here, get up, and go back to the ward."

"I don't want to go back." She didn't let go, "I won't be able to sleep when I go back, can you talk with me here for a while?" She looked at him, her eyes were very clear under the dim light.

Cheng Mian looked back and knew that he couldn't open it.He stretched out his hand and gently scratched her nose, agreeing.

After dark, the benches are very cool.Cheng Mian picked He Xiao up and let her sit on his lap.He Xiao nestled into his arms, feeling very warm and comfortable.

"When did you come back?"

"Tonight." Cheng Mian said, "I can't get through to you. I didn't know that Uncle He was hospitalized until I received a call from Mr. Zhao. Your side is clean and there is no news at all."

He Xiao rubbed against his shoulder, as if to show his favor.Cheng Mian lowered his head and kissed her soft long hair: "When will the results come out?"

"tomorrow."

"So I came just in time." He smiled, "I will accompany you and wait together."

He Xiao hummed, without any extra words.

Cheng Mian circled her tightly: "Sleepy?"

"No." She lowered her voice, "Yes, I thought of something."

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Some old things are about Lao He and Lao Tian." He Xiao smiled, and slowly recalled, "Yesterday morning, Lao He lost his temper for some reason and kept refusing to take medicine. My mother said in a fit of anger that she knew it was so difficult for you. Waiter, you should have resolutely divorced the engagement in the first place. Lao He was very proud when he heard it."

Cheng Mian raised his eyebrows: "Uncle and aunt had such a trouble when they were young?"

He Xiao also found it interesting, "I just heard about it too."

When Lao He was young, his family was very poor. Although he was good-looking, not many people were willing to marry him.In Ms. Tian's words, she agreed to meet him because she was young and ignorant. She regretted the engagement not long after, and wanted to call off the engagement, so she wrote a letter and sent it to the army.

At that time, Lao He was in a fax station under the jurisdiction of the communication camp. He was a well-known household with marriage difficulties in the station. Finally, his family introduced one. Before he was happy for a few days, he received the woman's divorce letter.Unable to bear the blow, he started to have a fever that night, and it lasted for several days.The webmaster had no choice but to write a letter to Lao He's fiancée Tian Ying.The first sentence of the text is: We agree that He Xudong is a good comrade!
"My mother couldn't bear the pressure from the organization, so she withdrew the letter of divorce. When my father came home from vacation during the Chinese New Year, the two of them got married."

Cheng Mian smiled: "What happened later?"

later?Later, it was just a trivial life of an ordinary couple.At that time, Lao He was not high enough, and had children and could only leave his wife and daughter at home.Because He Xiao is a girl, grandpa and grandma don't care much about them, so Tian Ying can only take care of the children at home, and swallow all the pain by herself. Wife, tears fell all at once.It's a pity that he is a dutiful son, and he couldn't say anything to his parents' actions, so it wasn't until He Xiao was four or five years old that Lao He proposed to do it, and the army arranged to accompany them, and their life became better.

"In my impression, Lao He has always been a good father and husband. You can't imagine how much he spoils and tolerates my mother. Of course, he also loves me very much. He often said that in our family, he is the most No status, just do what we want." He Xiao said, the corners of his lips slightly curved, "Actually, I know that over the years, he has tried his best to compensate us, especially my mother. My mother suffered six or seven years because of him. , he punished himself to spend his whole life to make up for it.”

It was rare for Cheng Mian to be silent, and it was only now that he deeply realized what Tian Ying said against him back then.Only because I have experienced it, I understand it better.

"Don't be sad." He patted He Xiao's head.

"I'm not sad." He Xiao sat up and smiled at him, "I was still young at that time, and I don't remember much about these things. The only thing that left a deep impression on me was the winter when I was four years old."

That winter, Tian Ying fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.Fearing that He Xiao would be left alone in her husband's house and no one would take care of her, she was entrusted to her sister, who was also He Xiao's aunt.At that time, although He Xiao was ignorant, she still knew that her mother was not feeling well, so she lived in her aunt's house obediently and did not make trouble to see her.It was the Spring Festival at that time, and many people came to my aunt's house every night to drink tea and chat around the stove.She just played with her aunt's children, using mahjong as building blocks.

One night, when she was having fun, her sister suddenly patted her on the head.Looking in her direction, He Xiao saw a person standing at the door of the house, wearing a military overcoat, with a kind of travel-worn look all over his body.Seeing that person, He Xiao was a little dazed, and when she remembered that this person was her father, the person had already turned around and left without staying for a moment.

"Later I asked Lao He, I said why don't you come in to see me, even if you are in a hurry to see my mother, can you take a minute to listen to me call you dad?"

"Then what did Uncle He say?"

"My dad, he said—" He Xiao still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes slowly became steamy, "He said he didn't dare to come in, because he was afraid that if he came in, he would hug me in front of me. Crying on the faces of so many people."

Feeling her body trembling, Cheng Mian couldn't help hugging her tightly: "Smile——"

"Do you know? As long as I think of this sentence, I will feel sad." He Xiao buried his head on Cheng Mian's shoulder, tears fell into his clothes, soaking them all up, "Cheng Mian, I can't lose my dad, I can't imagine a day like that."

"No." Cheng Mian kissed her wet face, "No, just smile."

He Xiao grabbed his clothes and cried sadly.It was as if all the fears and worries of these days had come out at this moment and could no longer be held back.

The next morning, He Xiao, accompanied by Tu Xiao and Cheng Mian, waited for the results.

The old military doctor looked at her anxious expression, and smiled slowly: "Now you can rest assured."

He Xiao felt his heart pounding: "Half? What do you mean?"

"The test result came out, and it's benign. But the key is to arrange follow-up treatment." Wearing glasses, the old military doctor gave her a very kind look. To fight."

Of course He Xiao was mentally prepared for this, but this is good news after all, isn't it?Her heart relaxed a lot, she couldn't speak, she just felt a little weak in her legs and feet.Cheng Mian stood behind her, holding her waist.He Xiao turned around and grabbed his arm.

Tu Xiao watched from the side, also showing a gratified smile.She turned her head to the old military doctor and said, "Uncle, I will thank you for your hard work."

The old military doctor blinked, as if to say rest assured.

After the results came out, He Xiao and Ms. Tian did not relax much, because the hospital had to formulate the next treatment plan for Lao He.He Xiao didn't want his father to have a knife on his body when he was almost 60 years old. He was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so he asked the doctor if he could take conservative treatment.The old military doctor gave the answer after careful consideration. To be on the safe side, he still suggested surgery.

During the preparation process, He Xiao felt that he had used up all the tension in his life, worrying about this and that.In contrast, Ms. Tian is much calmer.

The mother and daughter stayed by Lao He's side until he was sent to the operating room.The moment the door closed, it seemed that the strength she had been supporting had disappeared. Tian Ying's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Because Ms. Tian was too calm before, everyone was caught off guard, and she fell firmly.Tian Ying herself was a little embarrassed: "Why did you fall down?"

Cheng Mian quickly reached out to help her, she smiled and said no, but unexpectedly her foot slipped on the floor again.She sat there stunned for a while, and then cried loudly.

He Xiao hurriedly stabilized his mother's shoulders, only to hear Tian Ying crying very aggrieved: "Smile, I have been married to your father for more than 30 years, and this is the first time I have sent him to the operating room. Why do you think this old man is called so? People don't worry..."

The first reaction of everyone present was to laugh, but then they were moved.On weekdays, when Tian Ying mentions her old age, she mostly scolds him. It's the first time I've seen even He Xiao, not to mention other people, with such blunt expressions of worry and distress.

He Xiao didn't say anything, hugged her mother into her arms, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her.

Perhaps God knew that so many people were thinking about him, and the operation went very smoothly. Although Lao He suffered a serious crime and his face was pale, it was rare for him to sleep very peacefully.Tian Ying guarded him every step of the way, and He Xiao persuaded her several times, but she refused to go to rest.

In the end, it was Cheng Mian who persuaded her: "Auntie, let me do it. You and Xiaoxiao have been tired for so many days, and you need to rest. Don't let uncle wake up and see you all haggard."

Tian Ying hesitated: "You—"

Cheng Mian smiled: "Don't worry, I am highly alert, and I can take care of uncle's movements."

Tian Ying looked back at Lao He, the effect of the anesthesia had not faded, and he was fast asleep.Still a little worried, she told Cheng Mian: "Then watch it for a while, and call me if you need anything."

Cheng Mian repeatedly said yes, and Tian Ying left the hospital bed and lay down on the small bed beside her with her clothes on to rest.

He Xiao went to boil water, and when he came back, he saw that his mother had fallen asleep, and was a little surprised.I saw Cheng Mian was sitting by the bed, blinking at her lightly, with a touch of complacency in his eyes.

He Xiao poured him a glass of water and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Cheng Mian held her hand, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll just watch here."

He Xiao didn't move.Because of Lao He's illness, Cheng Mian took the rest of the family leave and stayed with them in the hospital.Seeing that the vacation was over in a few days, and they had agreed to use this vacation to get the certificate——

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was silent, Cheng Mian asked in a low voice.

"I was wondering why something happened every time we were going to get the certificate." The first time was the oolong incident of Ye Hongqi's sacrifice, the second time was the veteran's discharge from the army, and this time, it was Lao He's turn to get sick again.

Come to think of it, that's true.A smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Mian's mouth: "It's only three things, so don't worry."

"I'm not worried about whether it's okay or not."

He Xiao curled her lips, causing Cheng Mian to pinch her cheek: "Tough mouth."

The two looked at each other and smiled, all the words seemed superfluous at this moment.

Lao He's postoperative recovery is very good, and he will be discharged from the hospital in about two weeks.Cheng Mian's entire vacation was wasted here, which made Lao He a little embarrassed, and while he was out for dinner with He Xiao, he whispered to Tian Ying, "I see, this kid from the Cheng family is reliable."

Tian Ying glanced at him sideways: "When did I say he was unreliable?"

Old He hummed, "Then I hear what you mean, do you not object to the two of them?"

"Stop." Ms. Tian glared at him, "These are two different things, don't try to trick me for the two of them."

"You." Old He said helplessly, "It's stubborn. When it comes to talking about it, who can know it better than you?"

Lao He had hit the point.He Xiao was brought up by Tian Ying, no matter how he makes up for it in the future, it will not change the fact.So what kind of temper the girl has, his wife knows best.

It was also because of this that she was worried, because she knew in her heart that if her daughter really recognized someone, no matter how much she objected, it would only be this person.But after all, she is a mother, and her daughter has been by her side since she was a child, so how can she be willing to let her suffer the pain she has suffered?
Tian Ying didn't want to embarrass her daughter, but when she thought of Cheng Mian's military status, she was really troubled.

"I know it well in my heart, but what's the use of knowing it?" Tian Ying said, and sighed, "My daughter has been raised for more than [-] years, and she is not going to grow up in the end."

See what this says.Old He laughed, and patted Tian Ying's hand: "There is a small tin box in the bedside table at home, you can bring it to me tomorrow, I will use it."

On the last day of vacation, Cheng Mian came to the hospital early in the morning, replaced Tian Ying and He Xiao, and asked them to wash and eat.He mixed the hot water himself, wiped Lao He's face and hands after wetting the towel, after several weeks of tempering, he had already done it with ease.

Lao He looked at him: "I heard Xiaoxiao said that you should return to the army today. During this time, I have worked hard for you."

"Don't say that, I should."

This made Lao He smile so hard that his eyes narrowed, and while Cheng Mian was going to the bathroom to pour water, he took out a letter from the iron box that Tian Ying brought.When Cheng Mian came back, he handed it to him.

Cheng Mian took it carefully: "This is?"

Old He just said: "I gave it to you for Xiaoxiao, you can read it when you go back."

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the cover, Cheng Mian probably guessed what was inside. He suppressed the sudden waves in his heart and put the letter in his pocket.

At noon, after saying goodbye to the two old men of the He family, he left the hospital and prepared to drive back to the army.

He Xiao sent him out, and the two just walked in tandem.When they reached the gate of the hospital, Cheng Mian, who was walking in front, stopped, turned his head and stared at He Xiao.He Xiaozheng was blinded by him, so he came over suddenly, put his arms around her shoulders and kissed her hard on the lips, almost like biting her.

He Xiao was dumbfounded by his kiss, and when he came back to his senses, the man had already strode into the car and left in the dust.He Xiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

She wiped her mouth, a little dissatisfied: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Mian went home, took the things and drove back to the company.

They hadn't seen each other for more than [-] days, and the young men of the reconnaissance company saw that the company commander couldn't help making a fuss. Cheng Mian kicked and kicked them away, then closed the door, and carefully took out the letter from his pocket.

The envelope is white, and there are only three words on the cover: Cheng Mian (received).The handwriting is elegant, and He Xiaocai, who has always been a top student, could write it.Cheng Mian clearly remembered that when Teacher Zhao was her homeroom teacher, she always praised her for her good handwriting and asked him to learn more from her sister.

With slightly curved lips, Cheng Mian took out the letter.Spread out, the corners of the circle have turned yellow, dark blue pen water, between the lines are those old days.He read it verbatim—

Cheng Mian:

I haven't written to you for a long time.

Winter in City B is always extremely cold.When I got up early, I woke up from the cold, and when I looked out the window, there was another heavy snowfall.

This winter, Lao He's body began to have some problems intermittently.I advised him to go to the hospital, but Lao He never agreed.Whenever I mentioned it, he always frowned and scolded me, saying: "I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have no resistance to this minor disease?"

In fact, I understand, Lao He is afraid.He was afraid that if the checkup turned out to be bad or bad, he would not be able to leave the gate of the hospital since then.In the end, I cried a lot, and Lao He reluctantly went for a checkup.No major issues, luckily.

I forgot when I started calling him "Old He, Old He". After calling him for so many years, he is really old.That day I was sitting side by side with him watching TV, and when I turned my head inadvertently, I saw a stubble of white hair on his ear temples.It's so bright, it's really eye-catching.I looked uncomfortable and said that I would dye his hair, but was laughed at by Lao He.

The military parade for the 07th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China was playing on TV. Lao He stared at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the most regrettable thing about being a soldier for more than ten years was that he could not wait for the army to change his job. Oh, the [-]-style military uniform looks so energetic and chic.He said, smiling.

I also laughed, but my heart was sour.I know that Lao He has always missed that place, just like me.I miss the old compound, the farm, the river beach, the flowers all over the mountains and the countless happy times.I miss them day and night, even after all these years I never went back again.

Not long ago, I found out that in two years, the old compound and the farm will all be demolished.I lost sleep again the day I heard the news.I've always been a belated person emotionally, and I always feel sad long after we've been apart.Therefore, dreams are the only place where I can find solace.

In the dream, I went back to the farm again, climbing over the low wall to tease the tadpoles in the river beach; Here, I bumped to a far away place in a military card, opened my eyes in a mist, and saw you.

Cheng Mian.I don't think I can fool myself anymore that I miss you.really miss you.

It's a thin page and a half, but Cheng Mian has been reading it for an indefinite amount of time.Back and forth, back and forth.There was a burst of cheers outside the window, the wind blew the curtains, and the bright sun shone in.On the field not far away, the soldiers who won the game were excitedly waving to their comrades watching.

Cheng Mian smiled, turned his head, blinked his eyes slightly, a tear rolled down so unexpectedly, and fell onto the letter paper, smearing a large area.He was a little annoyed immediately, and quickly wiped it off with his hands.

He remembered what Lao He said this morning.Old He smiled lightly, with a peaceful expression: "She wrote you more than one letter, but none of them were sent out, and they were all piled up. Later, she lost it when she moved, and she cried behind our backs for a long time , I thought I didn’t know. Then she went to college, and we cleaned her desk one year, so I found this letter. But don’t worry, I didn’t read it.”

go to college.What year was it supposed to be written?

I remember talking in the corridor that night, He Xiao blamed himself and said that the old He's health started to get bad two years ago, and she should urge him to come to the hospital for examination every year.According to the letter, she probably wrote this letter two years ago.

More and more clues made him feel that what Lao He said was correct.He said they were both fools.He wrote so many letters, and none of them reached her.And she wrote so many letters, but didn't send a single one.It's been seven years, and now I feel distressed when I think about it.

Can't wait any longer.Cheng Mian wiped his face, took a long breath, and picked up the phone on the table.
