Walking onto the terrace was a middle-aged man wearing a retro suit, Xu Le had noticed in the hall before, this person was from Qinglong Mountain, probably Nan Mingxiu's entourage, I don't know why the other party came to the terrace at this time.
Zhang Xiaomeng looked at Xu Le's face quietly at this time, not noticing that someone was coming behind him.
Tears flowed down her smiling face, and the light makeup on her face was washed with this light, adding two points of clarity, she took another step forward, leaned closer to Xu Le, and said softly: "I'm sorry." ” There is no doubt that in this period of youthful feelings that sprouted from a bag of puppy biscuits, started with the meals in the canteen, and filled with porridge and flowers under the plum garden, there were debts, persistence, and hurts, but there was also unquestionable sincerity.
There is no black-rimmed glasses to cover it tonight, and the hazy tears in those bright eyes seem so sincere.
Looking at it in a daze, Xu Le unexpectedly recalled a lot of the past, many things that he rarely remembered in this year, the strong heart did not soften, but it regained a trace of freshness, and then he remembered the eyes of the tens of millions of people in front of the parliament building, and many complex emotions were entwined in his heart, and he couldn't taste that kind of taste.
The light of the hall shines through the side door, reflecting the shadow of a moon and a half on the quiet and dim terrace, Xu Le and Zhang Xiaomeng are standing on both sides of the full moon-like light, an invisible line seems to separate the two, but the difference is actually only two steps.
The scene fell into silence and silence, just like returning to the canteen three years ago, Zhang Xiaomeng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at him quietly and smiled silently, although it is no longer the relationship between the couples in the past, but standing opposite to each other like this, looking at the face close at hand, for her, it is already a great comfort, she knows how hard he has lived in the past few years, although she has lived in the mountains is the same, but she is no longer qualified to say anything, and he doesn't seem to tell these things.
Then stand quietly like this, standing in the autumn breeze terrace, without words, reminiscing about the past.
However, there were others on the terrace.
The middle-aged man in the placket was a little surprised to see Zhang Xiaomeng wiping away tears, his face changed slightly, and he was about to come forward and say something to her, wanting to tell her that someone in the hall was looking for her, and at the same time wanted her to stay away from the officer who smelled cold and dangerous on the side of the stone railing, in his opinion, the officer must have done something to make Zhang Xiaomeng cry like this.
The aura of this pair of young men and women was in silent aftertaste, but suddenly there was one more disturber, Zhang Xiaomeng turned his back to the side door, and he hadn't noticed it yet, but Xu Le glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, but at a glance, the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes made the middle-aged man stop suddenly, his heart was cold, and he turned his head and walked towards the hall.
"Nan Mingxiu is the son of the leader of Nanshui, and it is a requirement of the organization for me to be his female companion today, but don't get me wrong, it's just the recent federation" Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at him and explained softly, the story between her and him was too long and complicated, and there was no need to explain anything, but for some reason, looking at Xu Le's face that was gloomy and gloomy, her heart was extremely flustered, and she always felt that she should make it clear.
"I don't have to explain anything."
Xu Le quietly looked at her beautiful face.
Zhang Xiaomeng's heart darkened slightly, and she immediately forced a smile, but in an instant, this smile became extraordinarily gentle, because Xu Le put his hand on her head and stroked it gently.
"I was angry last year when I learned you were still alive."
Xu Le withdrew his hand a little slowly, and said, "But Shi Gongzi reminded me that if I am more angry than happy, doesn't it mean that I am looking forward to your death." ” "You should be angry."
Zhang Xiaomeng walked out of the half-moon-shaped light, walked to his side, quietly leaned on his arm, and said: "Across the street, looking at you on the sidewalk, I realized that my heart would hurt like that, I always wanted to ask you face to face if you can forgive me, but then I figured it out, what reason do I have for you to forgive."
She turned her head, looked at Xu Le's side face with some sourness, and said with a stubborn smile: "I know your surname, you hate it when others lie to you the most." ” Xu Le once said to Lin Yuanhu in front of Professor Shen's tomb that he would not forgive anyone, and now Lin Yuanhu has also become a cold existence in the tomb.
For Zhang Xiaomeng, he doesn't think there is any problem of forgiveness or not, it's just that the world is created and each other has their own obsessions, but there is no room for obsession with things next to them in the relationship, even if it is the so-called faith, not to mention that the past is over after all, and there is no way back.
In the cold wind of the autumn night, he felt a little cold, looked down at the girl beside him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Remember what we said on the iron tower, the love I have been looking forward to since I was a child cannot be sacrificed by anything, if the chips are also the most beautiful things in the world, I will try to grasp it together, after all, few people will ask the mother and wife such stupid questions as falling into the river." ” His tone gradually became serious, and he said with a hint of painful self-deprecation: "The relationship I want is absolutely selfish, which is ridiculous, and I will also set obstacles for myself to judge what love is."
At that time, when I was at Ewha University, I thought, no matter if you are a spy of the army or something, I will be the same as before, and I also hope that even if I am a traitor, you will love me the same, and at that time, I always thought that such feelings were true. ” Not many young men and women can dissect their psychology so seriously and sincerely on the terrace of an autumn night after experiencing such stories as theirs.
Maybe Xu Le is naïve, maybe Zhang Xiaomeng is naïve, maybe their meeting on the airport bus is a mistake in itself, maybe Zhang Xiaomeng has done a lot of things that hurt Xu Le, but in the final analysis, they can meet and love each other in the sea of people as vast as the stars, precisely because they are actually very similar people in their bones.
"It's always me who left quietly, and it's always me who hurt you again and again."
Zhang Xiaomeng was slightly stunned, then raised her head and said sadly: "I'm sorry." ” Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and he said, "This is the second sentence of today, I told you before, I don't like to hear you say I'm sorry the most." ” "Hmm."
Zhang Xiaomeng pursed her lips playfully, just with those red eyes, she looked a little desolate, she didn't have a sense of relief in her heart, on the contrary, because of Xu Le's calmness at this time, there was a lot of bitterness and discomfort.
She didn't want to continue the topic, lest her emotions get out of control, she hugged the boy next to her and cried loudly, forcibly changed the subject, and said softly: "You want to go to Xilin" Xu Le thought of the strange security mission of Baishui Company, shook his head and said, "After all, I have to go, but maybe the time has not been decided." ” "You are a talent that the federal military has focused on cultivating."
Zhang Xiaomeng said softly: "Although I don't know what happened to you in the past two years, you are always careful on the battlefield, I have seen a lot of battles in Qinglong Mountain in the past two years, and I know that it is not a place where one person can solve the problem." ” After saying this, she smiled slightly, and did not tell Xu Le that she might be transferred to Xilin next year, in her heart she thought that she was not qualified to ask for anything more, so she was silent, and then thought that she could go through the difficulties with the man she loved, which could probably be regarded as some kind of happiness.
Xu Le heard the deep concern in this calm sentence, his heart trembled slightly, and he felt that the cool autumn breeze in the night was like yesterday, the light of the double moonlight in the sky was like yesterday, like pear blossoms, like the snow in the plum garden apartment, and couldn't help but ask in a slightly sandy voice: "I have always wanted to ask you a question, in your heart, what am I?"
The door of the terrace was pushed open with force, and several guests walked over quickly, and the first person was Nan Mingxiu, the son of the leader of the South Water.
Wearing a strange military uniform, he looked shocked, walked quickly to Zhang Xiaomeng's side, looked at the girl's crying red eyes, reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiaomeng's upper arm, and said loudly: "Xiaomeng, what's wrong" At the moment when Nan Mingxiu's fingers touched Zhang Xiaomeng's upper arm, Xu Le didn't know why, he felt a burr on his heart, he was very annoyed, his pupils narrowed sharply, and he twitched down with one palm.
With a crisp snap, a red mark appeared on the back of Nan Mingxiu's hand, and he staggered back two steps.
He was shocked, looked at Xu Le and shouted angrily: "Let go of her" The people who came to the terrace gasped at the same time, they had received a report from the middle-aged man in the hall earlier, only to know that Zhang Xiaomeng, who had been invited by them to come to talk, was crying on the terrace, as if he had been disturbed by someone.
They were very aware of Nan Mingxiu's intentions to call this good deed the girl of the leaves of Qinglong Mountain, so they naturally wanted to satisfy his flower protection, and hurriedly came to the terrace, but they never expected that the officer standing in the shadows would be silent and unceremoniously moved.
In the eyes of this leader's son, this officer must have disturbed Zhang Xiaomeng, he stood on the truth, and at present, the federal political axe is asking for his father, and he is naturally rampant in the capital star circle, who dares not to let himself score three points "I warn you," Nan Mingxiu looked at Xu Le coldly.
"I warn you, don't pester Zhang Xiaomeng again in the future, otherwise I will make the leader of Nanshui regret that he only gave birth to two sons."
Xu Le looked at Nan Mingxiu and said.
Everyone on the terrace was in an uproar, and they didn't understand why the lines seemed to be reversed, and who this officer was, it seemed that he knew who Nam Myung-so's father was, and he dared to threaten at such a sensitive moment.
"Presumptuous, dare to be so rude to Nan Gongzi, what kind of place is this, put away that set of bastard things in the barracks" There was an angry shout from the back of the terrace, and the person who spoke was the chairman of the parliamentary ethics committee, senior councilor Zion, at this time many people in the hall noticed the conflict on the terrace, and the respected councillor happened to be nearby, and saw the picture of Xu Le's hands-on, and said unhappily.
Xu Le took a step forward, stopped Zhang Xiaomeng behind him, squinted at this really powerful big man, and said, "Why do you want to put a big hat on me that destroys the reconciliation of the Federation?"
At this time, the light shone on his body, shining the straight lieutenant colonel's uniform very clearly, and at this time, everyone at the side door of the terrace saw the officer's face clearly, and also saw his epaulettes clearly.
Everyone was stunned and silent, there were only two such young lieutenant colonels in the Federation, and no matter which one of them was, it seemed that they had enough background and strength to show such a strong Zion Councilor, no matter how big the hat was, they couldn't even suppress their brows.
