12.
Due to Gaocheng's invitation, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi had to postpone their trip.Tickets are not easy to buy before the Spring Festival, Shi Jin sighed and said, let’s go back next year.Wu Liuyi looked at his monitor with distress, Shi Jin's cheeks sunken, his cheekbones protruded, and his appearance became more angular.Wu Liuyi's eyes were a little obsessed, and he said after a while, don't go back, Hun'er has to stay here even if he goes back.
Today is the day of the Qilian meeting.There was a strong wind in the afternoon, and it was dry and cold. When walking on the road, I felt my face hurt like being cut by a knife.Shi Jin's face looked very small wrapped in the hood of the down jacket, Wu Liuyi asked worriedly, are you all right, don't hold back.Shi Jin smiled and said it's okay, in Wu Liu's eyes, that kind of smile can be regarded as genuinely happy, and it came from the heart.Sure enough, only he can make you happy.Only him.
It was starting to get dark.The meeting place is a very high-end restaurant, and the colorful lights are all over the entrance to decorate the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.The welcoming young man was full of energy and smiled brilliantly, beaming everywhere.Before entering the door, Wu Liuyi turned his head and looked up in a strange way. The hazy sky was heavy with twilight, and Shi Jin's extremely pale face approached, and Wu Liuyi shivered for no reason.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jin asked suspiciously.
"No, it's okay." Wu Liuyi looked at Shi Jin in a daze, his heart was filled with great panic, and a look appeared on his face who was never superstitious - unknown.
After entering the door, Shi Jin asked Wu Liuyi in a low voice: "Does my face look ugly?"
"It's not ugly, it's just bloodless."
"...Don't mention my illness later."
"Just mention it, I'll tell them all." Wu Liu gritted his teeth.
Shi Jin's facial features instantly wrinkled together, making a helpless expression.
"You want to say I'm naive, right? I'm naive." Wu Liuyi said mockingly, "I'm not as good at hiding things as you are."
"I beg you, can't you?" Shi Jin begged.
"Stop it! I'm getting goosebumps."
"..."
The single room that Gao Cheng booked was on the second floor, and it was directly opposite the room after getting off the elevator.There was a lot of chatter inside, especially Bai Tiejun's Tangshan accent.
Pushing open the door, Wu Liuyi walked in front, Shi Jin followed in, and the room suddenly became quiet.It took a long time to hear Bai Tiejun's "Aww" voice, rushing over and pounced on Shi Jin directly.
"Oh, squad leader, you miss me so much!" Such vigorous movements and the trembling Tangshan dialect at the end irritated a certain armor-piercing projectile almost to the point of exploding.
Wu Liuyi tore off the "plaster" stuck to Shi Jin's body, his eyes widened: "Hey, what are you doing, you are in heat! Don't learn if you're good, learn from Xu Sanduo's stinky problem."
Bai Tiejun, who was grabbed by the neck, smiled obsequiously: "Hey, that, the class deputy is serious." The small eyes glanced at Shi Jin again, "The squad leader is yours now, I just ate the bear's heart and leopard!" I don't even dare."
Wu Liuyi choked on one sentence, his face flushed.Needless to say, it must be his company commander who leaked the secret.Wu Liu wholeheartedly said that I was wronged, I would have dreamed of it, but he wouldn't follow me.
"Old Bai is amazing, the class deputy is ashamed!" Gan Xiaoning's teasing voice came from the seat, not afraid of big things.
Shi Jin seemed much calmer, his eyes slowly turned around in the room.The two tables were full of people, but only Lao Bai and A-Gump came from the third class.He frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't Sanduo come?"
Bai Tiejun said: "San Duo and Cheng Caiben agreed to come, but there is a temporary task, so I didn't come."
Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, his black and white eyes revealed an unconcealable disappointment. "...Oh, what a pity." He said softly.
Bai Tiejun chuckled: "Squad leader, you can see that you are still feeling sad. Their old A played like this. If we don't see each other this time, there will be a next time."
"Yeah." Shi Jin nodded, trying to pull himself together, and smiled at Bai Tiejun.
Wu Liuyi felt bitter in his heart, and that ominous premonition welled up again.He understands Shi Jin's disappointment, what Lao Bai said was wrong, there will be no next time, if we don't see each other this time, we will never see each other again.He patted Shi Jin on the shoulder lightly to express his comfort.In Bai Tiejun's eyes, this small gesture was naturally ambiguous, his small eyes couldn't help but narrowed into slits, and that exaggerated smile made Wu Liu want to slap him all the time.He was about to explode, but Shi Jin looked over with gentle and clear eyes, Wu Liuyi suddenly lost his temper, and obediently came to the banquet with his squad leader and took a seat.
Since the two of Wu and Shi entered the door, although Gao Cheng didn't speak, he saw everything in his eyes, so he laughed and teased: "You two are almost enough, comrades are all here, you have to pay attention to this... this military style, Pay attention to the impact."
Bai Tiejun mocked without fear of death: "Come on, company commander, what age is this, why are you so serious? Besides, in the eyes of the comrades, the squad leader and squad deputy have always been... this... how good it is!"
Gan Xiaoning also chimed in: "That's right, it's enviable to look at."
Gao Cheng stared: "What's the matter, you also want to find one?"
Gan Xiaoning chuckled twice: "This is not impossible."
Gao Cheng aimed at Bai Tiejun: "Let's talk to Lao Bai, haven't you two been on good terms?"
"Absolutely not. I'm A-Gump's foreign language teacher. As a student, you must know how to respect your teacher." Bai Tiejun said solemnly.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Gan Xiaoning spat a few times in disgust, "Which one of you has ever seen a teacher who cleans students' stinky shoes!"
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter during the banquet.
Everyone's back and forth teasing became more and more limitless, and the talk turned back to Wu and Shi.Bai Tiejun didn't dare to offend Wu Liuyi, so he pestered Shi Jin endlessly with a playful smile, making Shi Jin's scalp numb, and his strong composure was on the verge of collapse.
Bai Tiejun obviously refused to let Shi Jin go. "Squad leader, how did you get taken down by the squad deputy? Can you tell me the details? Well, hehe, that aspect...is very harmonious?"
Shi Jin's face suddenly burned up, and the blush spread from his cheeks to his ears. Shi Jin lowered his head, and simply shut up and ignored him.
Ji Rou opens the door and comes in, and sits on the empty seat beside Gao Cheng.I went to the bathroom just now, and saw two more people in the room at this time, so I looked at Gao Cheng and waited for introductions.Seeing the company commander's wife come back, the live treasures of the Seventh Company consciously stopped their naughty jokes.
"Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi, the backbone of the company back then, the top soldiers under me. We attended our wedding banquet on June [-]st. There were too many people at that time, maybe you don't have much impression." After Gao Cheng introduced to Jirou, He smiled at Shi Jin again, "This is my daughter-in-law Ji Rou, hurry up and call her sister-in-law!"
Shi Jin has met Ji Rou.After that "coincident encounter" that made him feel so painful, this woman would pop up in his mind from time to time. Every time he thought of the tenderness in Gao Cheng's eyes when he looked at her, Shi Jin felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife pierced the heart.
Wu Liuyi next to her was already calling her "sister-in-law".Shi Jin quickly put away his frustration, and tried to make himself smile: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Such a pale face, such a fake smile.
"Hello, Shi Jin, I often hear your company commander mention you."
Both are a little unnatural.Shi Jin felt that Ji Rou's tone was weird, and Ji Rou felt that Shi Jin's smile was very dazzling.The most unnatural one was Gao Cheng, who was thinking about his wife's words.It is true that I often mention the soldiers of the Seventh Company, but I have never mentioned the name Shi Jin in front of my wife, not even once.Except for the "today" when the body and mind were sinking... Thinking of this, Gao Cheng couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and his face changed.
The party continues.There were no more naughty jokes without a limit, and the topic gradually shifted to Gao Cheng and his wife. ——The soon-to-be-born tiger cub, a good baby with good roots.How enviable.
Shi Jin felt a little dizzy, maybe the room was too hot.Come out to take a breath, go to the bathroom, turn on the tap and slap your face with cold water.Wu Liuyi quickly followed, and Shi Jinyi saw him in the mirror when he looked up.
"What's the matter? Let's go if you don't feel well?" Wu Liuyi held Shi Jin's shoulders and carefully studied his expression.
"It's okay." Shi Jin shook his head, "It's too hot, come out to get some air."
Wu Liuyi's eyes were fixed, unblinking, with stubborn eyes.
Shi Jin pursed his lips and smiled: "It's really all right, really."
Wu Liuyi raised his hand and looked at his watch: "I think they are about to leave, so let's go and say something, let's go home first. What time is it, you can't stay up late."
"Hey don't..."
While the two were talking, they saw a group of people coming out of the private room where they had dinner just now, and approaching them noisily. "Where did the squad leader go?" It was Bai Tiejun's distinctive Tang Shan voice again.
Wu and Shi came out to welcome them. "Scattered?" Wu Liuyi asked.
"What time will we leave? Let's go and sing!" Gao Cheng waved his hand proudly, "All the soldiers of Steel Seventh Company will follow me!" So these soldiers followed their company commander without missing a beat, with high spirits .
Gao Cheng hugged Shi Jin's shoulders: "Let's go together."
Shi Jin wanted to say no more, but Gao Cheng's smiling Shu Lang felt his heart melt, and couldn't bear to refuse.Shi Jin took a peek at Wu Liuyi, and Wu Liuyi rolled his eyes and looked away.
"What's the matter, I have to ask the family members for instructions?" Gao Cheng's tone was a little sour.
"No, it's not..." Shi Jin murmured.
"It's not what?" Gao Cheng suddenly raised his voice, "Wu Liuyi!"
"Here!" Wu Liuyi straightened his body reflexively.
Gao Cheng said in a company commander's tone and voice: "We are not scourges, and we won't eat up your family history, understand?"
"Yes!"
"Come and sing with us now, this is an order!"
"Yes!" Wu Liuyi knocked his heels and stood upright.
There was a roar of laughter all around.
……
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the wind was stronger and the day was colder.The flow of people on the street has not yet dispersed, rushing to the entertainment place in twos and threes.The headlights are like a flowing ribbon, winding to the horizon.The hustle and bustle of the day is replaced by the bustling night. This is the night of Beijing.
Shi Jin's thin face was somewhat tired, his pale eyebrows were not clear when blended into the night, and his dark eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he could not see the bottom of a pool of water.And this Wangtan water only condenses a little light, and this little light is always chasing that tall figure.Wu Liuyi couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth, thinking that only he can make your eyes look alive.
When we arrived at the ktv, Gaocheng booked a large private room, and a group of people rushed in and howled.They destroyed the sound equipment with the key and intonation of the songs in the barracks, and then laughed indistinctly.Bai Tiejun was "tortured" by his brothers on the sofa because he sang a super out-of-key song. "Oh, don't bring this... don't yell at me... woo woo woo... I surrender, please forgive me..." I can no longer tell whether the sound is crying or laughing, but it can only be exchanged for a harsher "punishment". "I can't survive I..." This time the voice met the standard of howling.
Ji Rou sat in the corner and watched all this quietly, without a trace of expression. This world does not belong to her at all, and she can't blend in and can only watch indifferently.Her husband had a smile on his face but his eyes were full of loneliness, and he sat beside him without saying a word.
Gan Xiaoning handed the remote control computer song requester to Gao Cheng: "The company commander ordered a song, you haven't sung yet."
Gao Cheng said dispiritedly: "I won't sing anymore, I'll listen to you singing."
"How can you not sing, company commander? You are obviously the most interested, and you dragged everyone here." Gan Xiaoning felt that something was wrong with Gao Cheng.You must know that their company commander's singing is quite good, and it is definitely not the same as the out-of-tune broken gong voice.
Gao Cheng saw that Gan Xiaoning was holding the remote control to grind the chime, and had no intention of leaving, so he glared suddenly: "I'm not singing anymore, let's go." Picking up a bottle of beer, he bit the cap off the bottle with his teeth, took a few sips, and then pressed down. Let go of the irritability in your heart.Gan Xiaoning finally realized that the company commander was in a bad mood, stuck out his tongue, and retreated knowingly.But I couldn't help thinking about it in my heart - I was excited just now, but now I'm playing melancholy again, and my mood fluctuates greatly.
Gan Xiaoning, who had a bad nose, sat listlessly next to Bai Tiejun, who was almost suffocated by the creaking, and sighed pretending to be sad: "What's wrong with the company commander? You don't sing, you just drink. I like to listen to it." Our company commander's repertoire "No Place to Shame", Lao Bai, why don't you sing it to me."
"It's not like you don't know that I'm off tune."
"It's okay to run away."
"Come on, I should feel ashamed after singing."
Bai Tiejun's self-mockery spared no effort to draw Gan Xiaoning's eyes, and Gan Xiaoning just happened to see Shi Jin's figure when he turned his head.
