Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

After getting off the train, Zhou Dongjin didn't go to the general hospital to see Lu Sheng, nor went to the office to urge the equipment, but went straight to North China University of Technology.Chen Qi's older sister, Chen Jian, is an associate professor at North China University of Technology. Chen Qi asked Zhou Dongjin to bring the design plan, and asked her to help solve several difficult problems in the design of the field duty vehicle. Zhou Dongjin was pointed at by various people on the huge campus, and finally found the teaching and research section of the department where Chen Jian was.The teaching and research room was empty with the door wide open, and the corridor was so quiet that no one could even be found to ask questions.Zhou Dongjin circled the ground full of thoughts like a trapped beast, until he finished smoking the third cigarette, only to see a female student with long hair and shawl floating in from the door.

The female student embraced a large stack of books, and just stepped into the door with one foot, she was choked by the smoke and coughed and retreated. She retreated outside the door, frowning and looking at Zhou Dongjin inside suspiciously, asking, who are you looking for? Zhou Dongjin looked up and said, I'm looking for your teacher. The female student asked which teacher are you looking for? Zhou Dongjin replied, Chen Jian.Followed by another sentence, where did everyone go during working hours?I waited here for a long time and didn't even see a person. The female student took a serious look at Zhou Dongjin and asked, am I not human?

Zhou Dongjin smiled and said, I mean teacher, you are a student. The female student suddenly said, can you please put out the cigarette? Zhou Dongjin gave the female student a blank look and said nothing. The female student said, didn't you see that sign? Zhou Dongjin turned his head and saw that there was indeed a "No Smoking Indoors" sign on the table, but Zhou Dongjin was really unhappy to be accused by a female student, so he argued that smoking ban usually refers to drug use, and I don't smoke opium. The female student smiled slightly and asked suddenly, are you Head Zhou?

Zhou Dongjin was stunned for a moment. The female student came in and politely extended a hand to Zhou Dongjin and said, I am Chen Jian. Zhou Dongjin's eyes widened instantly, his face turned red to the neck, he didn't say a word for a long time, he even forgot to stretch out his hand. how?Didn't you come to see me?Chen Jian stretched out her hand and asked. Zhou Dongjin quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Oh, you are Chen Jian... Teacher Chen, I'm really sorry just now. Chen Jian laughed, and said it's no wonder that Chen Qi said that he met a rogue leader, and he really lived up to his reputation, and he let me learn as soon as we met.

Zhou Dongjin also laughed, and deliberately said very honestly, offended, we mountain people have never seen the world, please bear with us.Said it very bluntly again, but it can't be all my fault, you don't look too much like a professor. Chen Jian smiled and asked what the professor should look like? Zhou Dongjin said that he shouldn't be as young as you anyway, at least he should be a middle-aged woman, right? Chen Jian giggled and bowed, thanking Captain Zhou for complimenting me, a middle-aged woman. Only then did Zhou Dongjin realize that Chen Jian was already in his thirties.But she is indeed too different from her actual age, especially the long hair that hangs down to her waist, flowing with youthful air, making her look only in her twenties.

I had a great time talking with Chen Jian. This kind of intelligent woman usually only makes people nervous, and rarely makes others feel relaxed like her.Hearing that Zhou Dong came as soon as he got off the train, and he hadn't eaten yet, Chen Jian insisted on inviting Zhou Dong in for dinner.Zhou Dongjin said that if he wants to invite you, I should invite you. I am the one who begged you to do something.Chen Jian said I should invite you. Firstly, you are the guest and I am the host. You came all the way to me. No matter how much I feel sorry for Yinzi, I have to pretend to be a landlord; secondly, this is also an opportunity. I have to take this opportunity to bribe the leader for Chen Qi.Zhou Dongjin found it interesting, so he didn't insist on it.

In the taxi, the driver asked where to go?Chen Jian thought for a while and said to Zhou Dongjin, how about this, I will take you to a place to change the taste of the people in the mountains.Without waiting for Zhou Dongjin to answer, he turned to the taxi driver and said, go to the red house. Zhou Dongjin's heart skipped a beat, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. As soon as he walked into the red house, Zhou Dongjin regretted that he hadn't raised his objection in time.In Zhou Dongjin's heart, the red house belongs to him and Huang Nina.Since breaking up with Huang Nina, he has never been here again.There are too many memories of the two of them in this red house, and he doesn't want to touch them easily.

It's still the low velvet ceiling, the moody candlelight with moderate light and shade, and the faint background music...everything as old stirs up the precipitated memory, rushing to the face thickly.Breathing in the ubiquitous smell of memory, Zhou Dongjin's heart couldn't help but feel heavy. Chen Jian went straight to the table in the corner, which was actually where Zhou Dongjin and Huang Nina often sat. Zhou Dongjin hesitated for a moment before following. Chen Jian smiled and said please sit down, and she sat down in Huang Nina's seat first.Seeing Zhou Dongjin's hesitant look, Chen Jian decided that he had never eaten Western food. Seeing this place made her feel a little nervous, so she was very happy and cheerfully urged, "People from the mountains, please sit down."

The waiter had already opened the high-back chair behind him, and Zhou Dongjin sat down silently. The waiter immediately lit the candles on the table.The candlelight flickered between the two of them, bringing the distance very close for a while, and pushing the distance far away for a while.In the background music, a lonely saxophone seems to be facing the empty mountains and narrating his endless thoughts.For a moment, Zhou Dongjin almost thought he was facing Huang Nina. Chen Jian took the menu card and asked Zhou Dongjin, can I order for you?She was kind, afraid that Zhou Dongjin had never eaten Western food, and worried that it would be embarrassing for him to order food.

Zhou Dongjin had calmed down at this time, and made a gentlemanly gesture of please, saying, please order first, lady. Chen Jian smiled and glanced at Zhou Dongjin, thinking that he was probably trying to save face by asking me to order first and then he would follow suit, so I'll give him a demonstration and order first by myself.Chen Jian's ordering is obviously not as authentic as Huang Nina's. It can be seen that she is a modern person trained by Western fast food, and she does not pay attention to the procedures and rules of eating Western food. When it was Zhou Dongjin's turn to order, Zhou Dongjin ordered an appetizer, a soup, two main courses and a dessert without hesitation, without even looking at the menu, and he told the waiter very familiarly that the grilled steak must be medium-ripe and full of blood .After ordering, Zhou Dongjin asked Chen Jianjian how many wines to accompany the meal?Seeing Chen Jian's stunned and astonished expression, she couldn't help being happy, and said, "Look, I said I'm treating you, but you just want to invite me. It scares you, and you feel sorry for Yinzi, right?"fine!It's a big deal for you to treat me, I'll pay for it.

Chen Jian just came back to her senses, smiled and said, she didn't expect the mountain people to be so good at eating Western food. Zhou Dongjin said to pretend that the Chinese eat Western food—this is the garlic.Seeing that Chen Jian was enjoying listening to it, he told her a story about an old revolutionary eating Western food.It is said that after the "Siye" entered the Northeast, a force stationed in Harbin.At that time, Harbin was the place where Lao Maozi was most concentrated.The two chiefs of the military and government of this army pondered together, saying what the hell did the old man eat to grow tall and strong, let's try it if he is not good?The two of them packed light clothes and went to the famous Huamei Western Restaurant.Huamei Western Restaurant serves Russian-style western food, and the menus are all in Russian, with no Chinese characters on them.These two couldn't understand the menu and were too nervous to ask, so they turned to the first page and ordered a few dishes from the beginning to the bottom. Unexpectedly, the first page was full of soup.The waiter looked down on the two soldiers, and deliberately waited to watch the joke without pointing it out.As a result, one soup was served and another soup was served, and four or five soups were served in a row.They both drank and wondered: how does this old man know how to drink soup?As a result, the two of them drank a lot of water from this western meal.From then on, as long as someone mentioned Western food, they immediately said: Western food doesn't eat anything, it's all fucking soup! Chen Jian laughed until tears came out, and said, you...you can really make up nonsense. Zhou Dongjin said, I didn't make this up, it was my old man's personal experience, and our old man still has a heart about Western food.As he said that, he glanced at Chen Jian who was drinking soup, and seemed to casually say while drinking soup, in fact, there is nothing delicious about Western food, it's just a matter of being particular.Let's have a soup, the spoon has to be scooped out like this, not inward.When drinking to the bottom of the plate, you have to lift the plate outward to drink it, which is a lot of trouble.Also, the spoon is very good to use like this, but it can't be done, but I want to drink with the tip of the spoon to my mouth, deliberately making myself uncomfortable. Chen Jian watched Zhou Dongjin's demonstration movements seriously, and quickly corrected them accordingly.It's funny when I think about it, I originally wanted to show off in front of the mountain people, but I didn't expect to be taught by them instead.She was very grateful to Zhou Dongjin in her heart, thinking that such a big man like him was so careful, not only taught her, taught her the correct posture for eating soup in western food, but also did it naturally and gracefully, so that she would not feel embarrassed, so she couldn't help being very interested in Zhou Dongjin . It's a pity that the meal was eaten too quickly.Zhou Dongjin was devouring the good Western food without any rhythm or emotion.Zhou Dongjin said that he still had to go to the General Hospital of the Military Region to handle some errands, so he called the waiter to pay the bill before he even finished his after-dinner coffee.Chen Jianjian paid the money, but was stopped by Zhou Dongjin.Zhou Dongjin said Mr. Chen, give me face and let me bribe you, okay?Otherwise, how could I have the face to go to you to get these blueprints?Seeing the sincerity on Zhou Dongjin's face, Chen Jian didn't insist anymore. Zhou Dongjin left in a hurry. Chen Jian sat down and drank coffee alone for a while.For some reason, Chen Jian felt a little uneasy.She has always thought that she is a very determined person, it is difficult to be interested in anyone, and it is difficult to be attracted by anyone.But at this moment, her mind is full of that Zhou Dongjin.Chen Jian thought, she couldn't go out with Zhou Dongjin full of head like this, she had to get rid of him and leave everything about this man in this red room. Zhou Dongjin stopped at the door of Lu Sheng's ward.The ward was quiet, Lu Sheng was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling above his head in a daze with his eyes wide open. Zhou Dongjin had just asked the doctor about Lu Sheng's condition in detail, and he knew that Lu Sheng's left foot had been completely amputated, and only half of the right foot was left.Although Zhou Dongjin had been mentally prepared for this result, when he got the confirmation from the doctor, his heart sank and he didn't say anything for a long time.Lu Sheng is only eighteen years old, and he still has a long way to go.From now on, he can only use the remaining half of his foot to support himself on the long road of life. Who knows how many unimaginable difficulties he will face.Zhou Dongjin felt a deep guilt in his heart. As if sensing someone at the door, Lu Sheng turned his face slowly, his dull gaze resting on Zhou Dongjin's face for a moment before he reacted.As he called out "Header" in surprise, Lu Sheng's eyes immediately became lively.Obviously, Lu Sheng was very excited by the arrival of the head of the regiment. He tried to move his body and tried to sit up. do not move.As Zhou Dongjin said, he quickly stepped forward and held Lu Sheng down.After tucking Lu Sheng in the quilt, Zhou Dongjin sat by the bed silently. Lu Sheng's baby face was a little sunken, without the fullness and childishness of the past, his face was pale, but his eyes were blood red. How about it?Zhou Dongjin asked. Report to the head, very good.Lu Sheng replied. still hurt? Report to the head, it doesn't hurt anymore. Tell me, are you crying? Report to the head of the delegation, no. Really do not have? Report to the head, really not!I remember your sentence: what comes out of a man's eyes is semen, if there is too much semen, the man is worthless.Commander, I haven't shed a single tear since you talked to me that time. Well done!Zhou Dongjin lightly punched Lu Sheng on the shoulder as a reward. There are flower baskets everywhere in the ward.Zhou Dongjin dislikes this kind of flower baskets made of flowers the most. They are mixed together in a nondescript manner, and they prune the real into the fake, deliberately replacing nature. They are not as refined as the wild flowers in the South Valley.Looking around, only a pot of cyclamen on the bedside was not bad. Bright red flowers swarmed out from the middle of the leaves, squeezed the green leaves domineeringly, and laid out a vigorous vitality, exuding the feeling of being in the soil. fresh breath.Seeing that Zhou Dongjin was looking at the potted flowers with great interest, Lu Sheng hurriedly told the head of the group that this pot of cyclamen was given to him by the young pioneers nearby. sent by someone.Zhou Dongjin noticed that most of the streamers on the flower baskets were written with the words "for the heroes of the border guards" or "I wish the border heroes a speedy recovery". Seeing Lu Sheng's excited expression, Zhou Dongjin swallowed his words a few times, he couldn't bear to spoil Lu Sheng's good mood.It was not until before he left that Zhou Dongjin made up his mind and said in a kind tone as much as possible, "Lu Sheng, there is a question you have to answer me truthfully." Lu Sheng was startled, and looked at Zhou Dongjin uneasily. Zhou Dongjin looked directly at Lu Sheng and asked, tell me, why did you and the squad leader run to the other side of the cliff? Lu Sheng's face, which had just turned rosy, turned pale immediately, and reported to the group...the head of the group, when we walked back, the wind and snow were too heavy, and the visibility was too low, so...so... wrong.Zhou Dongjin said, if you were walking back at that time, why didn't you bring a tool bag and a string with you?Why did you throw those things under the wire pole more than 100 meters away? Avoiding Zhou Dongjin's eyes, Lu Sheng lowered his head and whispered, at that time...at that time... Lu Sheng, you raised your head and looked at me.Zhou Dongjin's voice became a little harsh. Lu Sheng raised his head slowly, his eyes were full of panic and uneasiness, his lips moved and he couldn't say anything. ... Everything is clear.When that beautiful pheasant flew in front of Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng thought that he could catch it as soon as he stretched out his hand.Although the sentry had stipulated that hunting pheasants was not allowed, Lu Sheng forgot the rules when he thought of the sick Tielong and Tielong's spine that was getting thinner day by day.The point is that the pheasant is so seductive, it always takes off suddenly at the moment when Lu Sheng is about to pounce on it, and it flies very low and lands very close, which makes Lu Sheng reluctant to let go, just like that Chased all the way to the edge of the cliff... Zhou Dongjin took out a cigarette, just lit it and then extinguished it.The whole cigarette was crushed by Zhou Dongjin in the palm of his hand, and the cigarette powder squeezed out from between his fingers, and scattered on the ground one after another. Lu Sheng kept his head down, staring at his gauze-wrapped hands and feet. After a long silence, Zhou Dongjin asked, does the political commissar... all know about these situations?Zhou Dongjin's voice suddenly became hoarse. Know.Lu Sheng said that the political commissar said that this matter is related to the honor of the squad leader, the honor of the Montenegro outpost, and even more the honor of our whole regiment... do not talk!Zhou Dongjin suddenly interrupted Lu Sheng irritably, and subconsciously took out another cigarette.But this time, he smashed the cigarette without even lighting the fire, and fell hard to the ground. head.Lu Sheng raised his head suddenly, blushing and said resolutely, "I am not for myself, leader."The political commissar was right. If the truth was told, it might be an accident.If there is an accident, the squad leader will not be rated as a hero, and our regiment will not be rated as a safety model regiment. Isn't the squad leader's sacrifice in vain?Then wouldn't the ten years of hard work of so many people in our group be wasted all at once?Commander, I haven't had a good night's sleep these days, and I've been thinking about this matter almost all the time.To be honest, my heart...Lu Sheng's voice trembled, and I felt very... very uncomfortable.Especially when someone came to the hospital to condolence me, saying that I was injured while maintaining the communication line of the border defense, and that I was a border hero, I really wished I could...I really wanted to...but I held back.At this point, I pinch myself hard... Lu Sheng lifted the quilt, and Zhou Dongjin saw in surprise that Lu Sheng's inner thighs were covered with bruises and bruises. Lu Sheng said, I stopped here and said to myself over and over again, Lu Sheng, you are not doing this for yourself, you are doing this for the squad leader, for the outpost, and for the honor of our whole regiment.I said, Lu Sheng, you have to hold on, no matter how difficult it is, you have to hold on.The squad leader even sacrificed his life to save you, so can't you survive all of this for the squad leader? Zhou Dongjin looked at Lu Sheng's childish eyes with a complicated expression.There were no tears in Lu Sheng's eyes, only a disturbing bright red excitement flashing.Another cigarette was crushed by Zhou Dongjin in the palm of his hand.After a long time, Zhou Dongjin suddenly asked, Lu Sheng, are you feeling overwhelmed? Lu Sheng was taken aback, and nodded slightly. Zhou Dongjin asked again, have you always wanted to cry? Lu Sheng lowered his head all of a sudden. Zhou Dongjin couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of Lu Sheng's head.His throat joint rolled up and down a few times with difficulty, and he let out a muffled and depressing creak. He said, "Lu Sheng, I allow you to cry once. Cry, cry loudly, and cry out all the things that are stuck in your heart." , don't hold back." Lu Sheng looked up at Zhou Dongjin in surprise, his eyes widened, his lips trembling and he said, no, I won't cry!Commander, I won't cry! I order you to cry!Zhou Dongjin's face suddenly became ugly, and he yelled at Lu Sheng loudly, you have to cry now, if you don't cry, you'll be happy, don't shut up!After that, he turned around and left the ward. Head!Lu Sheng cried out in a crying voice. Zhou Dongjin didn't look back. Lu Sheng's sobs came from behind him. At first it was still sobbing, but soon it became louder and more sad.Finally, Lu Sheng let out a heart-piercing howl and burst into tears. It wasn't until he saw Chen Jian's dumbfounded expression, and until he heard Chen Jian ask: "Mr. Zhou, why did you come back to pick up the blueprints so soon?" Zhou Dongjin finally realized why he returned to North China University of Technology in a daze. Chen Jian deliberately smiled and said, Captain Zhou, our revolutionary army can't order people around like this, right?No wonder Chen Qi said that you are Zhou Papi, but you are indeed even better than Zhou Papi. Zhou Dongjin was so embarrassed that he had nothing to say, so he apologized repeatedly. I'm sorry, I just... Zhou Dongjin got stuck and didn't know how to explain it. I thought to myself, I can't tell her the truth that I came here in a daze Bar?That was too inexplicable. Seeing such a tall man so embarrassed and at a loss in front of her, Chen Jian was extremely happy.She couldn't bear to embarrass Zhou Dongjin too much, so she subtly took up the conversation and said, oh, I see, you are afraid that I will ask some questions after reading the drawings, right?Just right, there are a few places I don't understand and I want to ask you.Please sit down. Zhou Dongjin heaved a sigh of relief and sat down. Chen Jian found that when he talked about the design of the field patrol vehicle and the tracking and monitoring system, Zhou Dongjin immediately entered the mood.He enthusiastically explained his design ideas to Chen Jian, described the actual situation of the border defense to her in as much detail as possible, and answered every question Chen Jian asked tirelessly. When he was talking about getting up, Zhou Dongjin suddenly stood up and started groping all over his body. Seeing Chen Jian looking at him puzzled, he blurted out and asked, do you have any cigarettes?As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Dongjin realized how stupid he was. Sure enough, with a sullen face, Chen Jian slammed the "No Smoking Indoors" sign in front of Zhou Dongjin. Zhou Dongjin said sorry, and just wanted to sit down and continue talking, he stood up abruptly and said firmly, no, I have to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes!You wait, I will smoke two and come up again.After all, she raised her leg and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Chen Jian. Chen Jian let go of her sullen face, and said with a "puchi", she said let's go together, take the blueprints, and after buying cigarettes, go to my place to get something to eat, let's talk while eating.He also said, you didn't see that it was getting dark outside, but I was already hungry. The night sky of the city is always a blurred face of chaos.No matter how hard you try, you can never see a trace of expression on this plausible face.You can't know what it knows about you, what it wants to hide from you, let alone what it wants to tell you, and what it can tell you.Walking under such a night sky, I can't help but feel a lot of helplessness and helplessness. It seems that every step is stepped on doubts, and every foot is not sure.Zhou Dongjin realized that he was like a real country bumpkin, missing the high and clear night sky in Nanshangou where the stars and the moon hang together. Chen Jian's long hair fluttered in front of Zhou Dongjin, making it impossible for Zhou Dongjin to settle down.Even he himself didn't understand how he accepted the invitation and walked into the room of this single woman whom he met for the first time with fluttering long hair.As soon as he entered the door, he regretted it. He saw that smoking was never allowed in such an overly clean residence.This is terrible, Zhou Dongjin thought, I have to leave this place as soon as possible after dinner. Chen Jian's meals are very simple. He takes out semi-finished products from the refrigerator and stir-fries a few dishes.What wine do you drink?Chen Jian asked, and opened the cabinet door with a bang. Zhou Dongjin's eyes straightened immediately, good guy, a cabinet full of wine! you drink?Zhou Dongjin asked. Of course. you?Do you drink at home? ! That's right.what happened? Zhou Dongjin immediately put on a posture of admiring Chen Jian. Chen Jian was overjoyed, took out a bottle and asked, how about drinking Hennessy? Zhou Dongjin sniffled and asked, is there Erguotou? Sorry, I don't have liquor here except brandy and whiskey.Hey, don't you know how to drink foreign wine? Oh, I just pretended to eat Western food. Chen Jian pursed her lips and smiled, and said that's good, I just took this opportunity to be your professor for a while, as revenge for giving me a Western food class.As he spoke, he picked out another bottle of wine and said, let's drink this bottle today, Royal Salute! it is good.The name is bright. Chen Jian took out two goblets and poured a shallow bottom into each. Zhou Dongjin looked carefully at the side and asked, "Hey, Professor, isn't your wine very expensive?" not cheap.Hey, why are you asking this?I don't think I said I would charge you for the drink, did I? Oh no wonder.Zhou Dongjin nodded his head exaggeratedly and said, no wonder you pour wine like sesame oil. It was only then that Chen Jian realized that Zhou Dongjin thought he had poured too little wine, so he deliberately squeezed words at her, and couldn't help giggling.After laughing enough, I said, listen, this is the first lecture: You can't fill the glass with brandy, you can only pour one ounce at a time, just the bottom of the glass, at most.Come, taste it, it's a good wine.As he spoke, he raised his glass and gestured to Zhou Dongjin, first slightly closed his eyes and sniffed it fascinatedly, and then took a sip in satisfaction. Zhou Dongjin threw his neck back and did it all. Hey, who made you drink it all? Just such a sip of wine, why don't you let him drink all of it? Chen Jian smiled and said, people in the mountains, brandy is not for drinking, but for tasting.The following is the second lecture, the procedure of drinking brandy.The first step is to smell. Before drinking, lean towards the mouth of the cup and take a breath to smell the unique refreshing aroma of brandy.The second step is tasting, take a sip of wine, pay attention, the first sip must be small.The initial feeling when it touches the tip of the tongue is a bit bitter and sour; the feeling after the entrance is very moist and sweet; the last feeling is the feeling of swallowing the throat, with a very comfortable feeling of numbness.I like Royal Salute very much. It is mellow but not strong. After drinking it, I am very refreshed and excited. Even if I drink too much, I will not have a headache.While talking, he poured another glass of bottom wine, and said to Zhou Dongjin, come on, try again. Zhou Dongjin was very interested in hearing it, and immediately took the wine glass, and tried it again with great interest. How about it?Chen Jian asked. Not bad, interesting! Not bad? ! what happened again? You look at your cup. Zhou Dongjin saw it, it was terrible, he only thought about it just now, and drank the wine in one gulp. Chen Jian asked solemnly, hello, do you know what pin is?You see, the word Pin is composed of three small sips, that is to say, drinking it in small sips is called Pin.And so on, gulping is drinking.So, what should you call it if you pour it into your brain like you? What? Chen Jian put on a smirk and said, Drink the donkey! Hey, do you dare to scold me? !Zhou Dongjin frantically waved his hands to scare Chen Jian. Chen Jian giggled and dodged to one side, but suddenly slipped and lost her balance.Just when she was about to fall to the ground, Zhou Dongjin quickly picked her up. After she calmed down, she realized that the accident just now had unintentionally created an embarrassing posture for the two of them——Chen Jian was leaning in Zhou Dongjin's arms, as if being hugged by Zhou Dongjin. Just looking at each other, the two of them immediately realized the danger of this posture, and their first reaction was to quickly withdraw their bodies that were in contact with each other.But their bodies only trembled violently.Maybe their bodies were separated for a moment, maybe they just let their bodies separate for a moment in their consciousness, but it was this moment of separation that made their bodies suddenly realize that they needed each other very much, and their bodies resolutely deviated from their consciousness and clinging to each other. hugged tightly.The last line of defense in my heart completely collapsed in this instant. Everything after that seemed to be carried out in a state of half-dream and half-awake.It was a feeling that was hard to express in words, as if it was not in reality.Everything around seems to have disappeared, only the breath of the other party guides the heart to grope forward: to the deep mountains, to the sea, to the canyons, to the cliffs, to the unattainable peaks, and to the unfathomable valley bottoms.They are deeply intoxicated in each other's breath, and they hug each other harmoniously and walk forward, experiencing weightlessness, rising, fear and excitement in the heart, gathering and releasing of energy while walking, experiencing Experience the agitation of great compassion and joy, and experience the hearty madness.Until the end, everything disappeared, including the breath of the other party, including myself.It seems that everything is dispelled and melted while walking, and it becomes one with the heaven and the earth. After a long time, Zhou Dongjin opened his eyes, and he saw Chen Jian's long hair spreading out like a waterfall, lingering gently around his chest, shoulders, and neck.He couldn't help but lifted his long hair and kissed it gently. The faint fragrance wafting from the long hair made him feel a rare tranquility in the intoxication. Zhou Dongjin wondered why his state of mind was so peaceful at this moment, he just did something extremely reckless and ridiculous.He and Chen Jian have known each other for less than 24 hours. He came to ask her to modify the design plan, to ask others for help, not to mention that she is the older sister of one of his subordinates, not to mention that he is a married woman. man.No matter from which point of view, he should not have come together with Chen Jian, let alone go so fast or go so far.In any sense, he should be disturbed, should regret, should be ashamed of his actions. But no, not an iota. Zhou Dongjin didn't know what was wrong with him, his whole body seemed to be cleansed and refreshed, his heart was as clean as the rain had passed, and he was filled with sincere euphoria from the inside out.Maybe this is harmony, this is love?Zhou Dongjin felt a little funny, how many years had he not touched this word?People are like this, when they don’t have love in their hearts and don’t understand love, they like to say the word love the most. Once they have love and understand love, they will hide love deeply in their hearts and never show it to others easily.In fact, from the first time he saw Chen Jian, Zhou Dongjin felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.I don't know where this feeling comes from, is it her understanding and intelligent eyes or her flowing long hair full of movement?Is it her spirited and lively laugh or her mischievous way of speaking that is exactly the same as Chen Qi's?Anyway, the depth of Chen Jian's impression on Zhou Dongjin was beyond his expectation, otherwise, he would not have returned here after being extremely confused; otherwise, he would not have followed her into this place in a daze. Otherwise, he wouldn't be inexplicably with her... Zhou Dongjin held Chen Jian's face in his hands, and saw that Chen Jian's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were bright, and her hair was moist, as fresh and moving as if she had just come out of the bath. who are you?Zhou Dongjin asked. I am one of your ribs.Chen Jian said playfully drawing on Zhou Dongjin's chest with her finger. who am I?Zhou Dongjin asked again. You are the man I've been looking for all my life. You don't know me yet. I know enough already. You don't know anything about me yet. I already know enough. What do you know about me? you are a man. This is the most superficial. You are a strong, alert, straightforward, tough man. This is also superficial. You are a man facing confusion. ...Even if you guessed it right, a little bit. You are a weak man who needs help. Why do you think so? right? Even if it is, although I don't want to admit it.How...how do you know this? I'm a rib in your body. Tell me, do women look down on men's weakness? No, women look down on weak men.Women like the weakness in a strong man.Women often fall in love with a man only after discovering the weak side of a man that is not easy to show. Tell me, what kind of man am I in your eyes? Are my feelings important to you? Very important. How important is it? Like life. Then I'll tell you, Chen Jian said in Zhou Dongjin's ear, you are a real man, a man who is worth my whole life to think about, wait for, find, love and pamper all my life. Zhou Dongjin's heart was suddenly filled with emotion, he hugged Chen Jian tightly in his arms, and sucked it deeply... In the middle of the night, Zhou Nanzheng, who was sleeping drowsily, received a call from Zhou Dongjin, asking him to stop his activities in Beijing and come back to re-investigate the facts, otherwise he would directly report the situation to the leaders of the Political Department of the military region. Zhou Nanzheng suddenly became angry, saying Dongjin, why are you crazy? Have you ever thought about the serious consequences of doing this? Do you want the honor of the second regiment or your own future? ! To Nanzheng's surprise, Dongjin didn't get angry at all this time. After listening to Zhou Nanzheng's words quietly, he said calmly, "Brother, I've been thinking about this for two days.I was really shocked when I first heard about it. I don't believe you guys would do such an unreasonable thing.To be honest, before I met Mr. Lu, I still had fantasies about you, big brother. I hope the rumors I heard are not true. I hope you have done a serious investigation and verification on this matter. I hope you Didn't do anything intentionally for me or for the Second Regiment.It wasn't until I met Lu Sheng that I believed that you really did it, you did everything you should and shouldn't do!After I came out of the hospital, I was very confused. I was really confused for a while, and I couldn't make up my mind what to do. Should I find a way to stop you immediately, or should I be complicit and complicit with you? ... Nan Zheng said, Dong Jin, listen to me, you must not be willful, and you must not do stupid things on the spur of the moment.I know that you have thoughts about Wang Yaowen's taking away the tens of thousands of yuan, and you are worried that it will affect your research project.Dongjin, don't worry, I will help you solve this problem after I go back.You should trust me and trust me to take care of everything. You misunderstood, brother, it's not about money.Dong Jin said, I had already decided not to intervene in this matter.You know, I am very concerned about whether I can be promoted to this position, and whether the second regiment can get this honor, but what I care most about are those two soldiers, one of them has given his life, The other is also permanently disabled and they have been hurt enough that I just can't bear to hurt them any more and see them not get a little credit for all they've given.So, I tried my best to convince myself to turn a blind eye and close one eye. Dong Jin, you are right to think so.Everything should be considered from the big side, and you should not be too emotional. In the past, you always failed to grasp opportunities at critical moments, because you were too emotional when dealing with problems, and you were too emotional. However, when I really decided to do this, I found that I immediately became more restless as if I lost my soul.I couldn't think of anything, I couldn't do anything, my mind was in chaos.Dong Jin paused and said, Brother, I can't do it, since I know, I can't pretend that I don't know.I admit that I am a person with poor psychological endurance, and I can even say that I am a weak person.I also know that like this can't make a big deal, but I can't help myself, I really can't deviate from the things I have always adhered to.If I insist on betraying myself, I will look down on myself, lose confidence in myself, and in everything else. At this point, what is the point of wanting those positions and honors? Dongjin, you can't think like that.You are an excellent military command cadre, and you deserve the opportunity to develop in the army.Sometimes, in order to achieve your goals, you need to talk about strategies, take some extraordinary measures, and even sacrifice some things you think are precious. I understand this much more deeply than you.You and I are both soldiers, and we all know that soldiers have the strongest purpose, and we all know that soldiers can do whatever they can to achieve their goals on the battlefield.Now, we are on the battlefield as if it were a battle, but a different kind of battle.Dong Jin, you must not... Brother, I've changed my mind.I suddenly understood why I felt pain and anxiety after making the decision not to intervene. It was because I wanted to be weak but was unwilling to be weak. It was because I thought I couldn't bear it and knew I should bear it.Just now, I found that I have strength, I think, I have enough strength to bear everything I should bear. Go east! ... How about this, I will go back tomorrow, you wait for me.You do nothing until I go back!Did you hear that? ...Okay, then I'll wait for you for a day. 放下电话，周东进默默地掏出了烟和打火机，刚要点着，突然发觉不合适，又“砰”的一声关上了。他一边思索着一边在手里摆弄着打火机。 这是那种美军在越战中使用过的燃油式打火机，很大的一块，外表很笨重，与现在那些精巧漂亮的时髦打火机截然不同，带有一种背离时尚的无可取代的酷。据说，这种打火机很实用，在找不到燃烧物的野战条件下，三个支在一起就可以煮熟整整一盒饭。周东进下意识地一遍遍地弹开打火机盖，听机壳发出嗡嗡的金属音后打着火，见火苗燃起后，再“砰”的一声关上。整套动作娴熟连贯，陈简在一边看得都入神了。 陈简什么也不问，只轻声说了句，抽支烟吧。 周东进却干脆收了烟和打火机，抬头问道，可以喝酒吗？ certainly.陈简立刻蹦起来去倒酒，却被周东进拦住了。 这次让我来吧，教授。周东进给陈简倒了一杯底，自己却倒了满满一杯。 周东进举起酒杯说，第三讲，酒为何物？酒在不同人的眼里是不同的物质。在科学家的眼里酒是含有不同浓度酒精的液体；在生意人的眼里酒是辅助谈判的工具；在官员的眼里酒是官场斗争的调和剂；在军人的眼里酒是火、是胆、是血、是能够燃烧的生命。这就是为什么军人上战场前要喝壮行酒的原因。这就是军人倒酒从来不论斤、两、盎司，只论杯、碗、缸子的原因。军人是无论多大杯多大碗多大缸子都必须倒满，必须喝干的。 周东进一仰头把一杯酒全干了。 真是好酒！周东进说，谢谢，谢谢你的酒。
