Lu Zhongjun was wet, his forehead was still dripping with rain, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Anna had already dressed and came out, standing in the room where her father usually used to meet guests.

An Guoqiang followed, just staring at the side.

Xiao Yu also came in, coughed, and motioned for her husband to leave with her eyes.

An Guoqiang seemed very reluctant, but in the end he followed Xiao Yu away.

"Xiaoguang,, it's so late, who's coming to the door! What's going on?"

Grandma is old and doesn't sleep deeply, so she woke up after a burst of movement outside just now, sat up and asked loudly.

"Mom, it's nothing, you can continue to sleep. ”

Xiao Yu responded. glanced at Anna and Lu Zhongjun, who were standing opposite each other, and closed the door considerately.

There were only two people left in the house, Anna and Lu Zhongjun.

Anna stared at Lu Zhongjun, who was wet and looked at her without blinking, thinking that her mother told her that her father received a call from him at night and deliberately ran out to find him, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Lu Zhongjun wiped the rain that was still dripping from his face and walked towards her.

"It's okay, I'm fine. He grinned.

Anna looked at him, hesitating.

"Lu Zhongjun is all bad for me. I won't let you mention it to my uncle, but I said it myself...... I explained to him that I took the initiative first, but he didn't believe it, and he was very angry. Didn't you do anything, did you?"

Lu Zhongjun stood in front of her.

"No! It's just that at noon, although he doesn't like me, his attitude is okay. I called to find you in the evening, but I didn't expect him to answer, and when he came over, he was polite and gave me a stern warning. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to ...... like this"

Lu Zhongjun suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Anna's hand tightly.

His hands were also wet, but the palms were hot.

"It's okay! If your uncle hadn't pointed at me and scolded me, I can't believe you would have taken the initiative to tell him that we were together!"

Lu Zhongjun looked down at her and said.

"Seriously, I used to think I was shaving my head and my head was hot. I don't know what kind of good fortune I had to make you ...... the night before I left," he paused. “…… Left me. ”

"Then we had a fight, and you ran away in anger, and I couldn't find you everywhere. Just when I thought you were going to leave me like this for the rest of my life, you suddenly appeared in front of me again. I know I'm shameless, chasing you and pestering you again, but I don't think you care much about me until today. ”

He looked at her.

"Anna, you really like me, don't you?"

His clothes were very wet, and standing for a while left a trail of water on the ground.

Anna broke free of his grip on her hand.

"Your clothes are soaked, do you want to change them first?"

Lu Zhongjun looked down at himself.

"It doesn't matter. "We usually train, and it's common for us to crawl out of the water like this and get wet all day." ”

Anna groaned and motioned for him to sit down.

"Lu Zhongjun, you came here so late, didn't you say that you had something to say to me?"

Lu Zhongjun did not sit down, but still stood there.

"Yes. Actually, the reason why I came to you today is that I want to meet you and tell you that I will be seconded to another unit tomorrow for some business, and it will take about two or three months. I can't write to you, and I guess I can't call you. I'm afraid that you won't be able to contact me, so I came over to tell you, I didn't expect such an accident. Anna, I know you don't want to introduce me to them yet, and I didn't expect it to be like this, and I feel sorry for you. ”

As he spoke, a sense of foreboding suddenly crossed Anna's mind.

After getting along with Lu Zhongjun, she recalled countless times the scene when she followed her father to visit Lu Zhongjun's father before his death, and recalled every detail in search of her stomach, wanting to get more information about his sacrifice.

But the time lapse was too long, and she didn't expect that she would cross paths with the man in the photo who died young more than ten years ago, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any more information about his sacrifice.

I only know that he happened during a test flight mission, and there is no clue about the specific time and place, safety.

Even, the more she recalled, the more uncertain she felt - she originally thought that there should be at least half a year before now, but now, she seemed to be less sure about the timing of his accident.

"Where are you going, and what kind of flight test mission are you performing?"

Anna suppressed the intense uneasiness that had swelled up in her heart at the moment because of his words, and immediately asked.

Lu Zhongjun paused and smiled apologetically at her.

"Anna is sorry, I really can't tell you that. But I know you've been worried that something will happen to me, and I promise you, I'll be safe! When I get back, I'll come back to your uncle and talk to him about us. Don't worry I'm going to get into a fight with him or something. I knew that I had a bad reputation in the past, and it was only natural that he would be defensive of me and oppose us together. ”

Anna was silent for a moment when her eyes fell on the puddle of rain that was peeling away from his shoes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Zhongjun followed her line of sight and glanced down at his feet. asked.

Anna suppressed the turmoil in her heart and raised her eyes.

"Lu Zhongjun, sit down, I have something to say to you. ”

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Zhongjun smiled and walked towards her again, "You are so serious, I will be afraid of your ......"

"Sit down!"

Anna interrupted his teasing, which seemed to be deliberately trying to lighten the mood.

Lu Zhongjun was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, and finally stopped and sat down in a chair next to her.

Anna sat down as well.

"What's the matter, what do you want to say?" Lu Zhongjun looked at her, his eyes with a little uncertain doubt, and a faint hint of cautious temptation.

"Is it because your uncle is against it, so you decided to listen to him......"

"It's not!"

Anna shook her head quickly.

Lu Zhongjun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Then what do you want to say, you say. ”

Anna took a long breath.

"Lu Zhongjun, I like you very much. In other words, you have a strong attraction to me, so when I was still in Hongshijing, I took the initiative to keep you that night when I knew that you were going to be transferred. I'm also grateful that you didn't take me lightly for me......"

Lu Zhongjun's shoulders moved, and he leaned towards her, as if he wanted to say something.

"Don't say it yet, listen to me first!"

Anna stopped him.

Lu Zhongjun glanced at her, and slowly leaned back.

"You've always been nice to me, and you've even been seriously thinking about getting me married. I'm sorry that my previous attitude was inappropriate in this matter. I didn't realize it myself. My aunt talked to me for a long time about what happened today, and I was always reflecting on myself before you came to me just now. ”

"You should know in your heart the source of all our previous conflicts. And the reason why I have been wavering in my attitude and not agreeing to settle our relationship is not because you refuse to listen to me, but because you can't give me a sense of security! Lu Zhongjun, even if you tell me that you will guarantee your safety for me, I can't really put my mind at ease completely. Just now you said that my uncle was against us because he knew that you had a bad reputation in the past. Actually, you are mistaken. I explained to him that you had that incident before......"

Lu Zhongjun glanced at her quickly.

"I'm sorry for saying it without your consent. But I think it's necessary. Anna continued, "When he found out, he recognized you as a person, and even expressed his appreciation for you. But he's still against it, because he thinks that even your pilot status is an insecure factor, so he can't agree to us being together!"

Lu Zhongjun sat up straight, and his eyebrows gradually sank.

"I knew it would be a painful choice to let someone who likes to take a sense of adventure and love a career in test piloting go out of test flying. I can also understand your perfunctory attitude towards this issue before. But Lu Zhongjun, I'm sorry I'm being selfish. Except for you to give up the test flight, no matter how much you give me assurances, I will not feel any sense of security in you! As long as you stop the test flight, I will not even ask you not to be a pilot like my uncle did. That's my bottom line. ”

Anna stared at the man next to her and took another deep breath.

"Lu Zhongjun, I like you too, I think I want to be with you for the rest of my life. If you are willing to make concessions in order to take care of my feelings, then I can also give you a word, no matter what opposition or any difficulties you encounter in the future, as long as your mind remains the same, I will stand firmly by your side, and we will overcome it together. ”

"That's what I want to say to you, I'm done. ”

……

Lu Zhongjun's body is still sitting straight, and the depression between his eyebrows is still the same. But in addition to the gloom, there seems to be something else.

His gaze kept falling on Anna's face, and the two looked at each other in silence.

He suddenly got up from his chair, walked to the window, and opened a window.

The humid night breeze blew in from the outside with the damp rain, and the sound of the night rain became clearer and more audible.

Lu Zhongjun took out a pack of cigarettes and took out one to light it. But the smoke has been soaked by the rain. He tried several times, but he couldn't light it.

He placed the wet pack of cigarettes on the windowsill and continued to stand alone in front of the glass window for a few moments.

Anna had been silently looking at his back.

"Anna, thank you for telling me this. He suddenly turned his head and looked into her eyes. "I see. To be honest, I was shocked, thank you for telling me everything you were willing to do for me, something I didn't dare to think of before. But I'm also a little messed up. When I come back this time, I'll give you a clear answer, okay?"

Anna slowly stood up from her chair.

"Yes. I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Lu Zhongjun strode over to her, stretched out his hand, and grabbed her arms tightly.

"Anna, while you don't believe my assurances, I want to reassure you that I'm not completely ignoring your anxieties and worries. Since you first told me about your concerns, every time you encounter a test flight, the mechanic will not only do the final inspection of the mechanical performance and key equipment such as the parachute bag before takeoff, but I also pay attention to it myself. ”

Through her clothes, Anna could clearly feel the wetness and heat of the palm of her hand from the arm he was holding.

I don't know why, I suddenly remembered that not long after she first came here, that cold night when the snow was flying fast past Chinese New Year's Eve, she returned to Hongshijing from S City, where she had just visited her parents, and was led to him by lightning when she left the station.

That night he had a fever. The palms of the hands were exactly the same as they are now, hot and scorching.

Anna looked up at him slightly, meeting his eyes.

"Thank you. She whispered.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it sounded like someone was wandering outside.

Lu Zhongjun stared at her. His hands were still clasped tightly on her arm.

"I'm very satisfied to meet you like this. Thank you for liking me so much. ”

He said suddenly, turning his head to look in the direction of the door.

"I'll probably have to go, or your uncle will hate me even more. Anna, I love you so much. My life is not only mine, but yours as well. I'll come back and marry you!"

He lowered his head, kissed her quickly and firmly on the forehead, then let go of her, went to the door and opened the door, nodded to An Guoqiang, who was standing not far from the door with an ugly face, turned around and left.

"Xiao Lu, it's raining, bring an umbrella!"

Xiao Yu took an umbrella and chased it to the yard.

"No, thank you, Aunt Xiao. ”

Lu Zhongjun looked back at the glass window that he had pushed open just now, turned to leave, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night of the rainy night.
