Twenty-four years of Yu and Zhaoning.

September 18.

He Xiaoge's birthday.

Pingnan Houfu is cool and thin, He Xiaoge has often lived in the border since he was a teenager, and he immediately fought on the battlefield with a horizontal knife, so he naturally didn't have the heart to celebrate his birthday.

Most of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion were born in poverty, and they would not have thought about these things in previous years.

But this year is different, after all, now, He Xiaoge is not alone.

So Gu Nan opened the curtain of the medicine house one day, and saw Lu Rong standing there with a smile, and when he saw him come in, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Nan looked at him quietly.

Lu Rong touched his nose uncomfortably, casually found a topic to talk to Gu Nan, and pretended to inadvertently mention He Xiaoge's birthday in the middle, trying to make a quiet appearance. Gu Nan smiled and listened to what he said, and began to pretend to be stupid, and only when Lu Rong was so anxious that the tip of his nose began to sweat, he bent his eyes and nodded, saying I understand.

Lu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and left with a smile after giving up his hand.

Gu Nan smiled and watched him disappear into the doorway, tapping his fingers on the tabletop.

Today is the third day of September, exactly half a month away from He Xiaoge's time.

Half a month, not long or short, but it is extremely difficult to prepare a gift with your heart.

He Xiaoge is calm and introverted, has his own hills and valleys in his heart, does not admire fame and fortune, only seeks the protection of conquest, and the rivers and mountains are splendid. If you really want to say what your heart wants, but one person in a family has a white head, but that is a natural thing for a lifetime, even if you don't do it deliberately, you can have it, and naturally you can't use it to give it away.

Gu Nan thought about it for a few days but didn't come up with anything, and was a little worried.

It's just that this sorrow didn't last long, on the seventh day of the first month of September, there were bandits in the south of the desert, who were once Xirong rebels, but they also had some strength. The town in the south was not strictly guarded, so he sent people to ask for help from He Xiaoge, who received the letter and took the White Tiger Battalion to the south that day.

Gu Nan didn't go with him, and stayed in the White Tiger Camp with Lu Rong. Every day, when I was idle, I went to Yingkou to look into the distance to see if He Xiaoge came back. After three days like this, Gu Nan walked to the entrance of the camp at dusk, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the imposing tiger head banner in the distance, and the resolute person riding a horse in front of him.

The White Tiger Camp was from far to near, Gu Nan stood there and watched quietly, his heart suddenly felt a little hot, he stroked his chest and stared ahead. Lu Rong stood beside him and looked at him with a smile, his expression full of pride: "Mr. Gu, do you know why we are willing to follow the general with our lives?" ”

Gu Nan didn't speak.

Lu Rong laughed, laughed for a while, and said softly: "Because only he can give us shelter, let us be fearless of conquest, and look forward to glory." ”

His voice was too solemn, although he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, Lu Rong lowered his eyes to meet his eyes, retracted his previous cynical appearance, and said word by word: "This point, from the moment I entered the White Tiger Camp, I have never doubted it. ”

Lu Rong didn't doubt it.

The White Tiger Battalion does not doubt.

Now, Gu Nan doesn't doubt it.

He personally pulled He Xiaoge back from the Ghost Gate, and saw many of his appearances, silent, shy, resolute, solemn, many, many, each with a unique charm, but these charms together could not compare to the shock he gave Gu Nan when he returned triumphantly in iron armor now.

Gu Nan smiled, put down the hand on his chest, and clenched it tightly.

He thought, he finally knew what he should give He Xiaoge.

At this time, there were five days left before He Xiaoge's birthday.

Gu Nan closed the door and locked himself in the medicine house all day, He Xiaoge came to look for him many times, and he didn't call him out, and in the end he didn't bother at all, but he would always stand outside the door and look inside through a curtain, his eyes were calm.

Four days later, in the evening, Gu Nan put down the things in his hand, stood up with a sour blink, lifted the curtain and walked out.

He Xiaoge was not there.

Lu Rong bent his eyes to look at him: "Mr. Gu...... Okay? ”

Gu Nan smiled and nodded, ignoring the latter's burning gaze, took a bath in water and changed into clean clothes, Lu Rong pointed behind him very knowingly: "The general is waiting for you in the main camp, Mr. Gu." ”

White Tiger Camp, the main tent.

When Gu Nan opened the curtain and went in, He Xiaoge was reading the military book. The man with a silent silhouette lowered his eyes to look at the ancient scroll in his hand, and made a few annotations from time to time, and it was difficult to hide his momentum. Hearing Gu Nan come in, the man with drooping eyes put down his pen and raised his head, the fierce color in the depths of his inky eyes slowed down the moment he saw Gu Nan's face, and he was gentle and gentle.

He put down the book of war and looked at Gu Nan, Gu Nan walked to him with a smile and lowered his eyes: "The book of war is sophistry, not very like you." ”

He Xiaoge didn't speak, just looked at him with soft eyes, such a look was really a foul, Gu Nan raised his eyebrows to meet his gaze: "Don't ask me what I'm doing these days?" ”

After that, without waiting for He Xiaoge to answer, Wu laughed to himself: "I won't tell you if you ask." ”

Doctor Gu has always been moist, and his occasional bad intentions are also hidden under gentleness, and such an obvious cunning appearance is very rare. He Xiaoge looked at the slightly sly smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes softened.

Such an obvious connivance and lethality is simply beyond the sky, Gu Nan felt that it was difficult to resist no matter how thick-skinned he was, lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze, and after making an excuse to say goodbye, he turned his head and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered that his daily task today had not been completed, so he turned back and smiled, and sent out the flirting skills word by word, and slipped away after flirting.

He couldn't see the line of sight that was getting deeper behind him.

The husky squatted in the doorway, squinting and flicking his tail, looking pleasant.

September 18, He Xiaoge's birthday.

There was nothing abnormal in the camp during the day, He Xiaoge was silent as usual, Gu Nan was gentle as usual, Lu Rong was gossiping as usual, and everyone in the White Tiger Camp was watching as usual.

It looked stable and peaceful, but as soon as the night came, the bonfire in the back camp was raised, the wine was ready, Gu Nan and He Xiaoge were hugged to the bonfire, Lu Rong stood in front of him and began to beat the beat, and everyone followed him to smile and clap their hands and sing war songs.

People who have been away from home for a long time to give the best years of their lives to the battlefield are always simpler than others, and they are happy to fight songs and sad war songs, and now in the season of joy, they give He Xiaoge blessings with the most sacred songs in their hearts, and thank him for living and dying with them for more than ten years, riding horses and sharing glory.

A qiē came too suddenly, He Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, and a little helplessness rarely appeared on his always silent face, and it quickly disappeared, his face was the same as before, but the joy and softness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Gu Nan stood in front of him and looked at his face, smiling and singing with a war song, at the end of the song, Lu Rong smiled and went around to the back to take a huge painting scroll, and then called the right deputy general, one person held on to the side, and slowly unfolded the scroll.

The sun is dusk above, the desert is vast, and the gold-striped banner is hunting.

He Xiaoge came on a horse in golden armor, his eyes were calm, and the soldiers in the armor of the White Tiger Battalion behind him rode his horse to follow, looking up in the blood-colored sun, with a strong momentum.

The young man is on the battlefield with a horizontal knife, and he is high-spirited, and the scorching iron is not sold.

And Gu Nan, before the painting scroll, reached out and took a piece of dark tiger striped jade from his arms and handed it to He Xiaoge: "The first time I tried to carve, I am not proficient, don't dislike it." ”

The jade pendant that still had the body temperature of a teenager fell into the hands of the man, and He Xiaoge lowered his eyes and stroked the tiger stripes above, and his eyes were full of indescribable heat.

He was silent for a long time, trying his best to hide the love in his eyes, and then when he looked up, he saw a little doctor dressed in white with clear eyebrows and eyes smiling and holding up the wine bowl, and his voice was clear: "Raise three bowls of wine, one bowl may you be safe and happy, four times healthy, two bowls may you be turbid and clear, and enjoy peace forever, and three bowls may you be horizontal and clean, and will not fall into the clouds." ”

"He Xiaoge, happy birthday."

The voice is clear and firm.

It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

He Xiaoge looked at Gu Nan fixedly, motionless. Gu Nan looked at him and laughed, his eyebrows crooked: "Look, you are not alone. ”

The latter was still watching.

The curvature of the corners of Gu Nan's mouth was even worse, and he looked at him for a while, touched his chin and chuckled: "Aren't you too moved?" If you're too moved, make a promise, General. ”

He Xiaoge was still silent.

Looking at He Xiaoge like this, Gu Nan's inferior nature of bullying honest people reappeared, thought about it, smiled, stepped forward to approach He Xiaoge, and spoke.

"He Xiaoge, do you like me?"

"I think I like you a lot."

"Why don't we be together?"

After the daily flirtation was over, Gu Nan looked at He Xiaoge with crooked eyebrows, and was in a good mood.

He originally thought that such a question would be the same silence as usual, but he never thought that after He Xiaoge was silent for a while this time, he opened his mouth with a serious expression: "Okay." ”

Gu Nan thought he had misheard.

The person who spoke seriously held Gu Nan's hand with a solemn posture, his eyes calm.

"I am He Xiaoge, the word Gengchang, twenty years old, living in the capital and having another courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, with seven first-class meritorious deeds and nineteen second-class meritorious merits, His Majesty Xià gave Weiyuan the title of general, in charge of the White Tiger Battalion, and I am willing to do my best to give you the best day."

Reading between the lines, it is the courage to spend the rest of your life together.

Gu Nan looked at him stunned, and the latter's gaze was still firm: "Come with me." ”

Flirting with a man is not the opposite.

But the warmth in my heart is not less at all.

It's just a little confusing.

He Xiaoge finished speaking, didn't give Gu Nan a chance to continue to be in a daze, held his hand and spoke again: "I'll take you somewhere." ”

Gu Nan glanced at him blankly, and nodded subconsciously.

The figures of the two quickly disappeared in front of everyone, and after a long time, someone next to them carefully pulled Lu Rong's sleeve, and his tone was a little uncertain: "General and Mr. Gu, did you leave us and elope?" ”

The words are not rough.

Lu Rong was speechless for a while.

The campfire is warm and the night breeze is gentle.

The husky lay on the edge of the table and stretched out his paws to steal the wine, his ears twitching.

Do you want to find a host?

Forget it, it's better to be interested in making light bulbs.

Well, the wine is so good.
