Old alleys.

On both sides of the alley are red-walled and gray-tiled courtyard houses that look very old. However, the doors of every courtyard here are closed, and there is no one on the street, so it seems to be an abandoned place. There are empty houses, and there is no popularity.

The streets of Old Lane are so narrow that they barely allow one car to pass through. The streets may have been smooth in the past, but with the erosion of the years, the wind and the sun, and the pedestrians, the brick and stone roads here have long been undulating.

However, the owners of these courtyards do not care, and perhaps one day when these brick and stone roads are completely worn away, and even after the rain, they will not be able to get a new layer of bricks. Since the host doesn't care, the visiting guests won't have any opinions, after all, most guests don't have much chance to walk on this old brick road in their lives.

The Old Lane is quiet all year round, and even though it is in the middle of the city, there is hardly any noise to be heard here because it is separated by a red wall from the most important center of power in the Republic.

Today, however, the tranquility of the old alley was shattered because of a regular visitor.

The regular, a middle-aged man, was accompanied by an old bicycle.

Qiao Shu pushed the bicycle and walked silently, feeling the breath of power he longed for as he walked.

The sound of footsteps, the sound of bicycle axles turning, the narrow and long old alleys seem to never come to an end.

But eventually he stopped in front of a courtyard house deep in the alley. He set up the carriage and walked up the steps to reach out and grab the mottled green copper ring on the door panel and slap the door panel.

Bang Bang Bang –

After three clicks, he stepped back down the steps, kicked the bike stand up, and waited with his bike.

Crunch –

The wooden door was pulled open from the inside, and an old man in ink appeared at the door.

After nodding to each other, Qiao Shu pushed the cart into the door.

In the main courtyard, next to the old pine, a young man in a sky-blue plaid shirt sat on a stone bench, his fingers turning a third-order Rubik's cube.

Qiao Shu stood beside him and watched him silently until he finished the last turn of his right hand before speaking.

"Young master, it is reported that today the grandson of the Tao family was deflated in the hands of the third generation of the Dou family, and the other party seems to have won very easily."

The young man didn't speak, and shuffled the Rubik's Cube again and put it back together.

"According to relevant news, the third generation of the Dou family seems to have been admitted to the Eastern Military Academy, and the Dou family doesn't seem to have any strength at all, he did it completely by himself."

The young man paused, then resumed again.

"According to Fu Dianchen's last news in the Tibetan Military Region, the third generation of the Dou family seems to have appeared there, and he was accompanied by a corporal named Ye Song, and this Ye Song seems to have something to do with Lu Yi. We also investigated his background, he is the only son of the 'Shang King' Yexiang. ”

Smack-

The young man slapped the unfinished Rubik's Cube on the stone table, looked at Qiao Shu and said, "It has something to do with Lu Yi, or is it the son of Yexiang?" ”

"Hey, he enlisted in the G Group Army of the Southwest Army three years ago."

"Three years ago...... The Southwest Army ......," the young man muttered, "Lu Yi seems to have gone to the Southwest Army three years ago. ”

"Yes, after he left the headquarters of the Southwestern Army, he went to his old recruit regiment......"

"Keep an eye out for this person."

Qiao Shu was surprised: "Pay attention to him? Young master, although he was transferred from Army G to Army C by Lu Yi, he shouldn't be able to make much trouble with his little corporal, why should he pay so much attention? ”

Qiao Shu started working for the family ten years ago. However, in the past ten years, the shock of this family has never stopped. Although he didn't know how strong this family was, it was definitely one of the top wealthy families in the Republic.

However, the tree was so big that countless pairs of eyes were staring at it. But the person who tries to make this family unhappy, the family will inevitably make him more unhappy first. Therefore, in Qiao Shu's view, although the strength of the family is strong, it is not superfluous at all, and it is better to pay attention to a small person, and it is better to pay attention to which Eastern Military Academy graduates have been poached by the other side.

"Why?" The young man picked up the Rubik's Cube on the table, "Just because his surname is Night!" ”

……

Ye Song didn't know that his name was mentioned in an old mansion in the capital thousands of miles away, and he was busy dealing with the biggest problem in his life - emotional problems.

When he recalled the origin of the bamboo hairpin and asked casually, Bai Ying, who was walking in front, also stopped.

She turned to him and smiled movingly, and said, "You made it yourself, of course I have to keep it carefully." ”

The moment Bai Ying turned around, Ye Song felt that his heart had stopped beating, and the bright moon above the bamboo forest seemed to be instantly dim.

Yamatsu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then slowly walked towards her as if talking to himself.

"When I was a kid, I loved coming to my grandfather's house because I had a sister who liked me very much. This kind of liking is the same as the affection for parents and grandmothers, but it seems to be a little different. Later, as I grew older, the difference grew like a weed in my heart. I was struggling and confused, I didn't know how to deal with this feeling, but in the end I chose to run away. ”

"I'm starting to be afraid to go to my grandfather's house, and even a little scared to go to my grandmother's house, because I'm afraid of that door, what if I happen to see you visiting my grandmother after entering the door?"

"I used to be arrogant and had low self-esteem, and the main reason why I couldn't face you was low self-esteem. Because I know that I am naïve, stupid, and ignorant, especially after attending a dinner party with my family and seeing my peers who have started the family business, I always have a strong sense of urgency in my heart. I distinctly felt overprotected by my family and that the path I was going to take was completely in their hands. I also tried to change, tried to fight, but my father easily cut me off with a soft knife. I thought that my parents were the biggest obstacle to my development, and after I joined the army, I learned that my grandmother was behind the scenes, but the most important thing was my own weakness. ”

"Luckily, I don't hate army life. I died twice in the army, once at an abandoned military base and once on the border with the Tibetan Military Region. But these two times were worth it for me, because I went through two 'deaths' to get to where I am now. ”

"Although the road I have to walk is still very long and dangerous, with my current strength, it may indeed be a little unbearable, but the power to carry you, I, has, have."

At this time, Ye Song and Bai Ying were only one step apart, and he could even feel the light strokes of her hair and the pleasant fragrance.

"You want to know your answer ......"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ying had already stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

For a long time, the lips parted.

Bai Ying leaned on the thick chest that made her feel very reassured, and whispered, "This is my answer." ”
