Tian Mimi...
The two girls who had passed by Tian Xingjian holding hands turned their heads in surprise, looked at him strangely, and then looked at each other, and suddenly burst into a burst of suppressed laughter, as if they didn't think it was polite, and one of them blushed and pulled his companion and ran.There was also a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker and carrying a briefcase, holding a drink in his hand and drinking while walking, when he heard the voice, he looked at Tian Xingjian beside him, snorted, coughed again and again, blushed and held back a smile, wiped the drink spilled on his body, and left quickly.Tian Xingjian, who was called by his nickname, was simply embarrassed, standing in the middle of the people coming and going on the street, a simple fat man, was actually called Tian Mimi angrily, and there was no place to put this face.An Lei also felt that she was screaming too loudly, biting her lip and turning her head, looking at the eyes of the pedestrians around her, her pretty face was red with shame, she grabbed Tian Xingjian's hand and pulled him into a café at the corner of the intersection.In the morning, the café was very clean, and the two of them chose a seat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the street.The waitress came over with a drink catalogue and politely bowed, "Excuse me, what drinks do you two need?"
”"I want a glass of watermelon juice, she wants ......"
The fat man's words without thinking suddenly hesitated, his voice became a little smaller, and he couldn't say with certainty: "...
Orange juice...?
”In the inquiring eyes of the waiter, An Lei nodded quietly, she looked at Tian Xingjian, suddenly her eyes turned red, and she bit her lip lightly and turned her head.Relatively speechless for a while.The giant light screen television on the building across the street is broadcasting the ceremony of welcoming Russell from the Federation, and it is rare to see Russell in the image of Russell, who has put on the uniform of a federal general, defected from a hostile country, and immediately transformed into a general of another country.President Hamilton delivered his speech, which was not so much a welcome to Russell as a message of counter-offensive against the Gacharin Empire.The two of them watched TV quietly, both a little absent-minded, but what they recalled in their minds was the scene when the two childhood sweethearts had no guesses, one holding watermelon juice and the other holding orange juice, holding hands and smiling at each other.After many years, does she still like to drink orange juice?
After many years, he still remembers what I like to drink!
The waiter quickly brought the drink, and when the two of them turned their heads and saw each other, they were a little flustered, and they all turned their heads to look at the waiter and said, "Thank you." ”The waiter was taken aback by the gaze of the two, and thanked him so sincerely for the first time since he started his career, and shook his hand again and again in flattery: "No thanks, no thanks, please use it slowly." ”Seeing that the fat man on the opposite side looked like he was about to turn his head to watch TV again, An Lei didn't want to be silent anymore with red eyes."
Tell me, why did you come to be a soldier?"
This is An Lei's first question, she was forced to collapse by this question, she wanted to know the answer, why did this boy who was never fit to be a soldier in her heart choose this path.Tian Xingjian was a little dazed, his eyes were retracted, he looked at the watermelon juice in front of him, and said a little distractedly: "I don't know, after graduation, I seem to have no goal, and my subconscious tells me that maybe becoming a soldier can allow me to find what I lost." ”Looking at An Lei, Tian Xingjian silently added in his heart: "Maybe, this will be closer to you." ”Tears rolled in An Lei's eyes, and she asked softly, "How did you do it to bring back more than two hundred federal soldiers?"
”Tian Xingjian smiled bitterly and said, "You know I'm a coward.Fear, sometimes it's also a strength...
I'm just trying to escape for my life..."
An Lei's tears were almost unbearable, her heart tingled, Tian Xingjian said simply, but An Lei knew how hard he had to endure fear the moment he stepped on the battlefield, and how many tribulations he had to go through before he grew into a Federation hero.An Lei tilted her head and looked sideways at the sky outside the window, trying to take back her distressed tears: "You know that you are a coward, why are you so stupid, why do you want to participate in this war that is completely incompatible with you?"
”Tian Xingjian didn't look at An Lei, he quietly looked at the flow of people outside the window, his voice was a little hard and a little tired: "I can't escape, in this whirlpool, no one can be alone, if the war finally spreads to the capital, I can't escape."
Such...
At least I'm closer to what I've lost. ”An Lei looked at the clouds in the sky stupidly, feeling both relieved and sad.She knew what he had lost, that the boy he had been was no longer the child who turned and ran away when he was in danger, that he had grown into a man, a man who was still timid and forced to join the war, but who had regained his courage, even braver than most.The sad thing is that this man has spent nearly ten years making a mistake, and he has never known what he has lost.The two men were silent for a long time.An Lei finally made up her mind, she was going to tell this person......
Everything, everything.Tears swirled in An Leidi's eyes again, and her voice was like being in the distant clouds: "You are a fool, you have not lost, all the time!"
Ten years ago, I was unharmed, and that's not why I left you.My dad has always treated you like his own son, and he says that you have to go through everything you have to go through. ”"That day, he scolded you and drove you away!
You should know how distressed he is.Several times, he went to see you, standing from a distance and looking at you...
Mom persuaded him, he was just stubborn, and he didn't want to call you home. ”Scenes of the past passed through An Lei's mind, and her voice was already crying, which was an indescribable grievance."
You didn't go back until he died!
I hate you, I hate him, I hate you both!
”An Lei's tears finally fell, and she slammed her feet, grabbed her handbag, and ran out of the coffee.Tian Xingjian stared out the window blankly, watching An Lei's flying car leave, his brain couldn't react a little: "Father An...
The kind and stern middle-aged man, the one who has been with him since the death of his parents, the middle-aged fat man who plays with two children, who is often tired and out of breath, the person closest to him.........
Passed away?
A wave of sadness rushed straight into his nose.Tian Xingjian cried, in the café where there were more and more guests, unscrupulous tears, he had already regarded that person as his father, he had never had the face to go back, and he had never dared to face that person's hateful gaze, why...
Why did he just go so quietly...
After all, he is a coward, a coward who can never undo his mistakes!
Tian Xingjian cried loudly, and there was a wounded wail in his voice.In front of the heavenly spirit of that kind middle-aged man, he was ashamed of himself!
