Ruan Wenyun said vaguely: "It's not just for the sake of going to the restaurant, anyway, you'll know when you go." ”

Wen Jianning didn't really want to go out, but seeing that the other two insisted like this, she still put down the book in her hand.

The three of them went to a small restaurant on Wenlin Street together, where Zhou Yinghuang was already waiting. He has always been cheerful and can talk and laugh, but today he doesn't smile, and the eyes that occasionally look at them always have a hint of wanting to speak.

Wen Jianning intuitively felt that something was wrong, and after ordering the food, he asked, only to realize that it was really as he said last time, due to the tight front, their empty school students were going to graduate early and go to the front.

I don't know when he will be able to return, or even if he will be able to return safely.

She thought for a while, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said, "Let's treat you to this meal today, just to say goodbye to you." ”

Zhou Yinghuang glanced at her, didn't say whether it was good or bad, only put down the chopsticks, and said slowly as if he had made up his mind: "I don't know if I can come back alive after I leave, there is only one thing I can never rest assured." ”

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ruan Wenyun next to her, only to find that the other two were looking at her nervously.

Wen Jianning is just sluggish, and he will feel that something is wrong.

But she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she only heard Zhou Yinghuang continue: "I have a younger sister who was lost in her early years. I've been searching for her for the past few years, but I haven't heard from her. Fortunately, when I was in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, I finally heard about ......"

Wen Jianning's smile gradually solidified on his face.

She watched as the young man across from her opened and closed his mouth, babbling something incomprehensible.

Zhou Yinghuang is the kind of appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his appearance is heroic and sincere, and he seems to have a little shadow of the tiger in his memory. But after many years, Husheng's appearance has long been blurred, and she is not sure if she has seen it wrong, until she gradually comes back to her senses, and then she hears his whispered voice drilling into her ears one by one.

Zhou Yinghuang, no, Husheng said that not long after the Ming family sent her away, he left Pingqiao Village and ran to the town, just in time to catch the soldiers, and was taken away in a daze. He ran a few times, was beaten a few times, and then became honest.

The team he was with could not be paid, and one day the soldiers mutinied, and he took advantage of the chaos to run out, begging in the streets while looking for his way home. Until one day he was so hungry that he snatched a lady's handbag on the street, opened it and touched a thick bill inside, and tried to secretly return the handbag, but was caught red-handed. Fortunately, the lady who lost the handbag was kind-hearted, and instead of letting people beat him severely, she was very kind enough to fill his stomach.

That kind lady is Mrs. Zhou.

He was somewhat similar in appearance to Mrs. Zhou's second son, who died young, and was later adopted by the Zhou family as an adopted son.

For many years, he did not forget to inquire about the whereabouts of his parents, and it was not until a few years ago that he found the traces of Minggui and his wife. The two have been looking for their son for many years, so they can only do some small business in another country to make a living. However, Minggui and his wife have been suffering from illness and pain for many years, and after being picked up by him, the family died within a few days of reunion.

Before dying, Ming Li took his hand and told him to take care of his sister Asu.

It was only at this time that Zhou Yinghuang really began to inquire about her whereabouts.

When he was a teenager, he was just the adopted son of the Zhou family, although he had the heart to communicate with his sister, but he didn't dare to tell the Zhou family, for fear that they would be troublesome. At that time, he only thought that she would be a young lady from a big family, and her life should be very good, so he didn't bother to look for her.

This time, he lent Minggui and his wife the opportunity to return to their hometown, and he was finally able to go to the Wen family in Huaicheng to inquire about the situation.

But Wen Jianning didn't stay in the old mansion for a long time, and most of the people in the house didn't remember that there was such a young lady, and the person who took the money only fooled him and said that Wen Jianning was already dead. Zhou Yinghuang asked where he was buried, and the other party was vague.

In the end, he could only return disappointed.

It wasn't until he later saw "Yongding Bridge" written by Wen Jianning under his real name in the newspaper that he jumped up from the sofa, and hurriedly asked someone to inquire around, and heard that the Wen family had moved to Shanghai, so he sent someone to the Wen Mansion. However, the Wen family was very evasive about mentioning Wen Jianning's affairs to the outside world, and even wanted to find out his identity by going back to the vine.

Zhou Yinghuang had no choice but to set his sights on the newspaper that published her article, found the Zhong family, and visited her in person.

Although the mention of the writer with the same name as his sister would always divert the topic, this did not extinguish his hope, but made him feel more and more that the whereabouts of Ming Kan might be found from the Zhong family, and the number of times he came came more and more often.

However, the more eager his attitude became, the stricter the Zhong family's tone became, so in the first year, he could not get the slightest useful news, and after the start of school, he could only return to Kunming Air School to continue training in disappointment, planning to wait for the winter vacation to inquire.

When he went to He's house to celebrate his birthday, he only felt that Wen Jianning's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the person in his memory, and he had the heart to ask. But after Wen Baiqing came over, he mistakenly thought that the two were brothers and sisters, and let them go by mistake.

Later, whether it was at the United Nations General Assembly or when they met Wen Jianning at the Zhong family, they still didn't know each other.

It wasn't until he confessed the situation to Zhong Hui's parents that he gradually gained their trust.

However, this is also not an easy task.

Wen Jianning rarely mentioned her early years, and Zhong Hui only knew a little about her past, but after the two verifications, she finally chose to believe his words, and after that, she also tried her best to help promote the relationship between their brother and sister. When they were in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, Zhong Hui's parents even had the intention to let their brother and sister recognize each other, but in the end they were rejected by Zhou Yinghuang.

He was worried that rashly recognizing each other would make her resist, so he has been delaying it until now. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they suddenly had to rush to the front line in advance this issue, I am afraid that he would have to wait a little longer, and when his relationship with Wen Jianning is more familiar, he will have a complete showdown with her.

After Zhou Yinghuang finished saying all this in one go, he found that the girl opposite had been listening quietly.

Under the dim electric light, her expression was calm, without a trace of abnormality, nor did she reveal a trace of emotion. Her demeanor was so calm that they couldn't figure out for a moment whether she was still angry or wouldn't believe them.

Zhou Yinghuang and the other two looked at each other, and it happened that the dishes were ready, so they hurriedly gathered up to eat.

In the end, everyone ate the meal hastily and left in silence.

On the way back to the girls' dormitory, Zhong Hui finally couldn't help but cautiously ask Wen Jianning why he reacted so coldly.

She smiled: "Otherwise, you can't let me cry like I wrote in the playbook, hugging my long-lost relatives." It's been so many years, he is Zhou Yinghuang, and I am not the Ming Kan of the year, it is already God's favor to meet again, and it is enough to know that each other is still alive. ”

The other two were speechless for a moment.

They knew that what Jian Ning said was actually right, but in the end, it would still make people uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after listening to their relays, Zhou Yinghuang was also a little depressed. However, he quickly cheered up, and as soon as the daily training in the aviation school was over, he ran to Wen Jianning to offer his courtesy. After all, there is not much time left for him, and he just wants to make up for the gap between his brother and sister over the years in the last few days.

Ruan Wenyun and the others also helped by the side, often calling them to go out for a walk together, and trying their best to create a topic for the two.

Wen Jianning's attitude is not cold, she still talks and laughs, and does not treat Zhou Yinghuang as an outsider; but her attitude is not eager enough, it always makes people feel that something is missing, but it is just something that is missing, which makes people always feel unwilling.

Although Wen Jianning didn't know about his strange psychology, he could see some clues from his reaction. But her personality can't care about the person in front of her as a close relative, so she can only adapt slowly.

As for Ruan Wenyun, since Zhou Yinghuang and Wen Jianning met, their relationship has become more and more delicately close, and the two who often go to the teahouse together are inseparable all the time, even shopping and going to class together, which makes Zhong Hui a little tasteful.

For example, on this day, Ruan Wenyun dragged her to wander around the streets of Kunming for an afternoon, and she didn't buy anything in total.

It wasn't until Wen Jianning was tired of walking that she couldn't help but ask her what she wanted to buy, Ruan Wenyun was a little embarrassed: "He's about to go to the battlefield, and he always wants to give him something, but I don't know what to give." I heard that the Air Force was treated very well, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and it was useless to send food and clothing, which was really a headache. ”

Wen Jianning paused for a moment: "As long as it's your heart, no matter what it is, he will like it." ”

Ruan Wenyun only thought she was making fun of herself, and turned her head to look away in shame, not noticing the faint confusion in the eyes of the people next to her.

In the end, Ruan Wenyun gave Zhou Yinghuang a book of poems with annotations and a jade pendant that he had worn since childhood.

Wen Jianning, who is a younger sister, should naturally say something, she didn't have any good ideas, so she could only give an English dictionary and a pen. The dictionary was that she had heard that they would train with American pilots, and that she thought he might use them, and the fountain pens were German goods she had received from a male classmate's stall, and that she could take them with her and write to them in the future.

Zhou Yinghuang was very happy when he received the gifts, and said that he would prepare them with a return gift before leaving. Wen Jianning didn't take this matter to heart at first, but a few days later, he suddenly asked people to spread the word that he was going to ask her to go for a walk by the Green Lake in the evening.

At night, it was estimated that it was almost time to meet, Wen Jianning first called Ruan Wenyun to accompany her, but saw her hurriedly wave her hand: "I still have an anthology that I haven't finished reading, and my notes haven't been sorted out, so I won't accompany you." ”

Wen Jianning turned his head and shouted Zhong Hui again, but Zhong Hui also refused: "I have something to do tonight, so I won't accompany you." ”

Looking at Feng Xin again, she also looked apologetic.

Wen Jianning suspected that these people had discussed something good behind their backs, but at this juncture, they would definitely not be honest, anyway, she would know after a while.

When she came to the old willow tree alone, Zhou Yinghuang had not yet arrived. She had no choice but to sit on the lake rocks on the shore first, waiting for someone while looking at the green lake at night not far away.

It's a summer night, and there are many pedestrians walking and chatting around the lake.

The moonlight tonight is excellent, and there is a bright moon reflected on the water surface in the middle of the lake, and with the rippling water waves, Wen Jianning's mood seems to be up and down. She subconsciously picked up a pebble from her feet and threw it far away.

The pebble fell into the water with a thud, making only a small splash.

Wen Jianning threw out stones one after another, but no matter how she threw them, she couldn't hit the water, which made her very annoyed, and her originally calm mood suddenly became impetuous. In addition, there are many mosquitoes near the water after nightfall on the lake, and she herself is easy to be bitten, and several red and swollen bags were quickly bitten out of her ankles.

Fortunately, before her patience ran out, Zhou Yinghuang finally came out of breath.

It's a hot summer, but he's still wearing a jacket tonight, and his pockets are bulging, and he doesn't know what he's thinking. Although there was darkness in the night, Wen Jianning's eyesight was excellent, and he found it at a glance. She scolded this stupid man in her heart, slapped the mosquito off her arm with one hand, and asked directly, "What are you looking for me?"
