Chapter 42: The Benefactor's Daughter

Si Wei didn't dare to look back, quickened his steps and walked out, holding his breath until he got out of the path, and turned a little to the door of the unit building.

After she entered, a man appeared in the alley, looked up at the bright numbers on the roof, and found a mobile phone to dial a number.

When he got home and recalled, Siwei felt that he was doing something wrong in his heart, so he took a shower and left this matter behind.

Xu Heyan is not on duty today, but his mood is not much better.

At night, when they were most bored, the two of them huddled on the sofa to watch the Midnight Theater.

I haven't had a good drama that I can watch recently, so I just found a variety show, and I laughed a lot, but they couldn't laugh.

The two of them covered each other with a blanket and nested together as if to keep each other warm.

Siwei yawned and said, "It's 11 o'clock, let's sleep." ”

"Don't!" Xu Heyan wrapped his arms around her under the blanket, "I can't sleep, you can accompany me again." "I was sullen, as if I was about to cry.

Si Wei glanced at her and saw Xu Heyan's depressed face.

She thought for a moment: "Isn't the work going well?"

When the words fell, Xu Heyan leaned on her side: "Last Saturday, my dad called me home, and I learned that he had been sending people to follow me, and when he heard that I was chasing Zheng Zhi, he couldn't wait to give me a beating." ”

Si Wei was silent for a moment and said indifferently: "Uncle doesn't want you to be with the firefighters. ”

"But I want to be with Jung Sik. Xu Heyan sat up suddenly and looked at her emotionally.

Si Wei didn't know how to speak for a while, his dark eyes were as calm as ever, and he was not affected by the emotions of others.

However, Xu Heyan lowered his head a little under her indifferent gaze: "I just like him very much, even if I am afraid, I want to be with him." You may not understand, this relationship is no matter what happens in the future, at least for the moment, we can walk hand in hand. ”

Si Wei's heart was moved, and he reached out to hold the person by his shoulder, his movements stiff.

"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and if the person you meet is the best one, you will be lucky for most of it. ”

Xu Heyan used his fingertips to circle his hair, and sighed: "There are thousands of accidents in this world, firefighters are born and die, and the future is unknown, but I want to love once desperately, this is my attachment to him." ”

Such words actually came out of Xu Heyan's mouth.

Si Wei hesitated for a long time, her mind was in turmoil, her thoughts had always been simple.

doesn't make emotional choices in love, although she is chic, she is not as good as Xu Heyan, as if she is a living person.

"That's... What about Zheng Zhi's thoughts?" Si Wei couldn't help but ask.

"He's just hard-mouthed. When mentioning that name, Xu He smiled in his tone: "Weiwei, in fact, I wanted to be a carpenter when I was a child, do you know what a carpenter is best at?"

"Making furniture?"

"I think it's carving. Xu Heyan stretched his legs and changed his posture, his head lay on Si Wei's legs, and he looked at her with his eyes open: "Zheng Zhi is indeed like a wood, but the decaying wood can carve flowers for him here." ”

Si Wei was amused by her analogy, and then said, "I envy you for thinking so thoroughly, and I hope you can get what you want." ”

Xu Heyan laughed, and said the grievances in his heart, as if he was relieved, and he could go how he wanted to go.

This night, Si Wei thought back to those conversations on the sofa, and unconsciously fell asleep.

——

Due to the previous gossip in the camp, the team members have endured a lot of hardships this week, and the training schedule is full all day.

The increase itself is nothing, but Song Ju'an's gloomy face is terrible, causing everyone to act on their faces every day, and they don't even dare to joke when they disband.

The only thing worth celebrating is that the citizens have been living a lot these days, and the team members are tired from practicing during the day and can sleep well at night.

Friday's test content is to climb 15 floors to rescue dummies in combat uniform, 100-meter obstacle paving water belt, these items are often done, after the assessment is completed in groups of two, everyone stands in line, waiting for the results to be announced.

Song Ju'an first looked at it and roughly understood the situation of each person, and then Zheng Zhi took the data board to report the results.

Overall, the hardships of this week have not been in vain, and the combat efficiency of the entire team has been significantly improved.

After lunch, Song Ju'an asked Zheng Zhi to go to the playground, and the two ran seven or eight laps side by side and talked about business.

"You can also see Zheng Yan's results, he is really determined. Song Ju'an took off his hat and tilted his head to look at the person next to him.

Zheng Zhi was silent.

"If you talk to him, we won't let him go, but I'm afraid that he won't listen to orders and rush into the fire himself. ”

"Then let him go. Zheng Zhi looked at the sky and sighed, "I, who is a brother, can't stop him from any danger and danger." ”

Song Ju'an patted him on the shoulder, "This kid is clever, don't worry too much." ”

That being said, the flames are merciless, and they all know it all too well, but when they enter this industry, there is no time not to go deep into the fire.

Jung Sik shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he was fine.

Song Ju'an put down his hand and sat quietly with him, the jumping light fell overhead, and the temperature in winter was just right.

Not only today, they hope that every tomorrow can live in peace under the sun.

There was a lot of work on Friday, and the boss talked to several literary bigwigs in the bookstore, and only went to record the audio to be released this week in the afternoon, and inevitably worked overtime in the evening.

In addition, the boss planned to publish the book in his own name, and after the notice was issued, the editorial department began to collect materials, and when the framework was initially sorted out, it was past eight o'clock.

Zhou Chen took the lead to get off work and got out of the elevator, and the other five colleagues went to eat nearby, leaving Si Wei and him to go out.

The cold wind was gusting outside, and the temperature was only two or three degrees at night.

Si Wei walked faster and walked down three steps, when Zhou Chen, who had not spoken all the way, suddenly spoke: "Do you have time?" ”

His proposal was very abrupt, Si Wei turned his head to look, Zhou Chen put his hands in his coat pockets, his expression was calm, as if he was silently telling her that he had no other ideas.

Three minutes later, Siwei got into the car.

The air conditioner in the car is radiating heat, and the cold is instantly dissipated.

Zhou Chen didn't procrastinate, and went straight to the point: "You seem to be deliberately avoiding me recently, did I have any actions that caused a misunderstanding?"

It's this kind of polite and elegant gesture again, which makes it impossible to find fault.

Si Wei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, as colleagues, as long as it does not affect our work, it means that the distance between us is normal." ”

Zhou Chen was speechless and chuckled: "Since you say so, then I think too much." By the way, there's one more thing I want to inform you. ”

Siwei asked, "What about work?"

"It's not. Zhou Chen turned around and took the briefcase in the back parking space, and took out an invitation card from it, "Shen Shuyi, do you remember?"

After receiving the invitation, Si Weixin trembled, but still nodded.

"She and her husband returned to China last week, and this Sunday she held an eighth birthday party for her son, and the teacher couldn't go that day, and there were two more for you and me. ”

Swei flipped through the inside page with her name filled in, "Must go?"

"Yes, after all, there will be cooperation next year. ”

She closed the invitation, calmed as before, and said "yes" before getting out of the car.

On Saturday afternoon, Swei went to camp.

In the office, Luo Qingqiang handed her the box containing the military uniform.

Siwei opened the box, and inside lay a flat green military uniform, with a national defense service badge and a name tag on the top.

With her fingertips swiping over the fabric, she pursed her lips and smiled silently, then put it back on.

After a long silence, Luo Qingqiang said: "When your father was discharged from the army, I still wondered why he left this suit to me, and I still haven't figured it out. Later, he had an accident and left, and this dress became my thoughts. After you became an adult, I wanted to give it to you several times, but I just couldn't..."

Halfway through his words, he paused, and the man who had always been majestic had tears in his eyes.

"Lately I've been thinking about it, since this dress will be handed over to you sooner or later, and now it's the same for you to bring it back. ”

Si Wei nodded, and her voice became solemn: "Thank you." ”

Since Luo Qingqiang still had something to deal with, Si Wei didn't stay long, put the box in a bag and took it away.

Walking out of the camp, Siwei did not call a taxi, but walked slowly against the wind towards the bus stop sign.

She was still wandering until someone called her name, and she subconsciously looked up.

Diagonally across the street stood a man, dressed in a black coat and carrying two bulging plastic bags in his hands, his neat short hair that didn't mess up in the wind, just like the deep eyebrows.

When he looked at her from the long street, there was ruffian and righteousness in his eyes, but it was the opposite, but it was not contradictory to him.

So far, he is the one she can quickly recognize.

Song Ju'an crossed the street, walked in front of her, and hurriedly said, "Wait for me here", and after that, he ran in the opposite direction.

Swaye turned, her eyes chasing his figure.

He galloped all the way to the door of the fire brigade and ran back in this direction empty-handed after a few seconds, all in less than a minute.

When he returned to her again, the man was not breathing.

"I bought some food for those boys, and I just sent it in the duty room. Song Ju'an explained.

Siwei looked at him from top to bottom, raised his feet and walked forward, "Don't you ask why I'm here?"

"Come to see me?" said with a smirk.

The man in front ignored him.

Song Ju'an put his hands in his pockets, followed her in two steps, and became much more serious.

"I happened to hear your conversation last night when I was handing over the assessment report card to the instructor. ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at Siwei's face - there was still no superfluous expression on his face.

"I'm fine, you don't have to follow me. His face was frozen and frozen, and he couldn't make expressions, so that when he spoke, he was a little softer than usual.

There was silence for a moment, and the sound of alternating breaths gradually amplified in the cold air.

The two are still walking forward, Song Ju'an has a big step, and he will deliberately slow down to join her.

Five meters away from the bus stop, Si Wei stopped, raised his face and faced him: "It's cold, you can go back too." ”

Yes, it's really cold.

After speaking, the cold wind that poured into her neckline made her shiver.

Under his gentle gaze, she put one hand in her coat pocket, instinctively tightened her body, but still maintained the posture of looking up at him, lovely and cute.

Song Ju'an reached out and took the bag in her hand, his eyes deepened: "Before leaving, there is something I want to tell you, about..."

"About my father saving the children, including you?" Swift interrupted him faintly, tucking his frozen hand back into his pocket.

Song Ju'an was stunned: "How do you know?"

"See the scar on the bottom of your neck. Swei explained, while he lowered his head and poked on the concrete floor with his toes, "That time in the hospital, while you were asleep..."

"Are you picking off my clothes?" Song Ju'an's voice sank.

Si Wei raised his head suddenly, and when he met his narrowed eyes, his indifferent little face immediately turned red, and he forgot to defend himself.

Song Ju'an looked at her slightly red cheeks, sighed and laughed: "Forget it, you are the daughter of a life-saving benefactor, so I won't care about you about this matter." ”

Si Wei's witty and living brain was so confused by his reversal operation that he could only stare dryly.

Immediately, Song Ju'an was upright, rubbed his thick palm on the top of her head a few times, and said in a solemn voice: "The situation on the fire ground is changing rapidly, if you die on a mission, the body will be burned beyond recognition, and I don't have a family, so I have to trouble you to claim the body with this small mark..."

"Can you stop saying that?" Si Wei slapped his hand away, his eyes red, and the tip of his nose suddenly welled up with acidity.

Song Ju'an's hand was knocked off, but he didn't feel much pain, and his eyes followed the hand.

The little girl worked hard, and it was winter again, and her hands were painful and numb.
