The heavy rain had been raining for a whole day, and when Li Lan walked out of the base, the general had already run into the hall, and there was no shelter from the rain outside.
Outside, there was standing water everywhere, and the whole sky was so gloomy that you couldn't see the sky at all.
The accustomed heat has long since disappeared, the familiar smell of dust is gone, and although the rain has not stopped, the air has already smelled fresh.
After coming to Somalia for more than two years, this is the first time Li Lan has smelled the smell of a long smell, which is a kind of nostalgia and a kind of feeling.
In this foreign country, for more than a year, only loneliness has been able to accompany him. Because no matter who it is, he can't tell his true heart. Even Natasha is not someone he can talk to.
During this time, only Maggie Lin can give him a little real joy, he likes to joke with her, because it can make him feel relaxed and don't have to spur himself all the time. He really enjoyed that.
Loneliness, he has long been used to it, and there are more and more things hidden in his heart, and only with her can he feel a moment of relaxation.
In Natasha, he didn't feel this way at all, otherwise that day, he wouldn't have stopped at all, but really gave Natasha up. For Natasha, Li Lan only has the pleasure of conquest, only carnal desire, and lust is not at all. He believes that every man who encounters a stunner like Natasha, as long as he is not incompetent and a eunuch, and can restrain himself, he can't find a few on shijie.
Therefore, Li Lan also likes to be with Natasha again. It is an instinctive desire of men, a possessive desire for good things. At least. Li Lan can now tell himself very deeply that he is not in love with Natasha. Just the desire for simplicity.
For Lin Meiqi, Li Lan just likes to be with her for a while, in addition to the reason why he can relax, but also because she is a Chinese. And there are two main reasons why he can't face up to this matter, one is because of Lin Meiqi's identity, and the other is that he doesn't know if he really likes this woman who has followed him for more than a year.
Love for a long time, love for a long time.
But so far, Li Lan has not felt this keenly. Suddenly. There is a gap between the two, and both sides have deep concerns.
Li Lan, who walked out of the base, looked at his watch and found that it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and Natasha didn't seem to have prepared dinner for him. He was about to go and see what he had to eat, but suddenly remembered Lin Meiqi's words when he came back, so he ordered the guard at the door to prepare some barbecue things. He remembered that on the courtyard of Lin Meiqi's residence, a cement top layer was specially built to block the sun. Now it is naturally used for shelter from the rain.
With a light rain, it should be nice to have a drink and a barbecue.
Peacetime. Li Lan also likes to eat barbecue, so the tools are complete. It didn't take long for the guards to sort it out and bring a large leg of mutton. There was also some corn, which followed behind Li Lan. Towards Lin Meiqi's residence.
And at this time, I don't know when. Natasha appeared at the gate of the territory, and after seeing Li Lan walking towards Lin Meiqi's residence, an intriguing smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she disappeared at the door, not in the rain. The gate of the base also closed automatically.
When Li Lan came to Lin Meiqi's residence, she seemed to be waiting there.
In the rain, an umbrella, and a waiting girl below, after seeing people coming, showed the sweetest smile.
"Please come in."
Li Lan nodded, asked the guards to go in and put things away, and then asked him to go back. After the guards left, Lin Meiqi closed the gate of the courtyard.
Soon, the two of them were left inside.
Li Lan opened the waterproof bag, took out all the contents inside, and skillfully set up the leg of mutton, put a mat on the bottom, and then put the grill on top and made a fire to release carbon. The cement slab above the courtyard covers the entire courtyard, and a very fast sunshade is placed in the middle. So, even though it's raining a lot outside, it's not too wet inside.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" After finishing all this, Li Lan spoke.
"It didn't take long for me to know you were almost here." Lin Meiqi smiled and said. In fact, she had been standing for half an hour, because her heart had not settled for a moment since Natasha's sudden visit in the afternoon.
"What's there to deceive, your fingers are white. Let's come over and roast the fire. Li Lan can't hear it, can't she still see it?
"Then you wait for me." Lin Meiqi didn't say anything, went into the living room, took two stools, and then took a small table out, Zuihou took a trip, and took a bottle of Moutai.
After seeing the bottle of Moutai in her hand after Zuihou went in and out once, Li Lan was stunned, grabbed the two bottles of carbonated drinks in the bag, and said, "You still have this good thing!" It seems that you are still thoughtful, but have you been able to drink it? ”
"When I was training, the longest training was drinking," he says. Lin Meiqi easily opened the cap of the bottle, took out two small cups from behind her, and poured two cups.
"Hearing you say that, it looks like I'm going to fall here today." Li Lan is very good at drinking, but the most powerful thing about him is his modesty at the wine table.
"It's okay, just sleep with me." Lin Meiqi's face didn't matter, and she didn't feel the slightest embarrassment.
"Hehe, today is really rare, and it is the first time that the two of us are alone together." Li Lan didn't pick up the wine glass immediately, because he hadn't eaten all afternoon until now, and if he didn't eat a little bit and drank a high-grade wine like Moutai, he would really be poured here.
Lin Meiqi didn't pick up the wine glass either, because she didn't eat anything after a whole afternoon of fighting between heaven and man. She was also afraid that she would drink too much.
The two began to chat without a word, and soon half an hour was about to pass, and the leg of lamb was already a little golden, and the fragrance was also strong.
Li Lan took out a dagger, cut two pieces from it, and put them on the plate, one of them just one piece. The rest continues to be roasted.
At this time, the two of them just ate very quietly and did not speak, until the plates were empty, Li Lan raised his wine glass. However, when Li Lan was about to drink, she was stopped by Lin Meiqi, "Wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?" Li Lan looked puzzled.
"Listen to my story before you drink?" Maggie Lin seemed to be very nervous.
Li Lan didn't speak, just put the wine glass back on the small table, nodded, and signaled that you could start.
Lin Meiqi slowly said, "Actually, I am an orphan, secretly adopted by my stepfather since I was a child, and he is now one of the top leaders of the Chinese military. I am very grateful to him and have listened to him since I was a child. Because my stepfather has no children, he usually loves me very much, and my stepmother also likes me very much and takes good care of me.
In the year I graduated from high school, I did what my stepfather wished, became a peripheral member of the intelligence service, and chose journalism at university. By now, I am a full member of the intelligence service. I have always been on missions in my country, and this is my first time abroad in the true sense of the word.
I met you when I came here, and I've been until now. At that time, I was very confused, I didn't know what kind of person you were, at that time, the country told me, see if I can control you in my hands, the weapon is my beauty.
Subsequently, with your series of rises, many domestic policies have also changed for you. The number one leader seems to be very relieved of you, just let me pay attention to the people around you, and see if I can find the mysterious team behind you.
Four months ago, I saw you walk into that newly built, fully enclosed building, and you saw the scientists coming in and out of it. So I reported this matter, and the above was not surprised, but just asked me to pay attention to whether there was any special person.
I'm sorry, but that's where my duty lies. ”
After listening to Lin Meiqi's very simple introduction, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Lan's heart, because this paragraph seemed to be a confession, and it seemed that a lot of things had been omitted. As a result, Lin Meiqi's identity as an orphan surprised him a little. As for the two stepfathers and mothers in her mouth, Li Lan was very curious.
Although he had many doubts, he did not ask directly.
"Actually, your words and deeds are under my control, there is no need for this kind of thing, and I won't blame you for anything." Li Lan smiled slightly and said.
"You know what? In the past year or so, what you have made me feel the most is your mystery, which makes me want to get closer and see clearly, and want to understand all your things. However, my gains have been small. Lin Meiqi looked at him and said very seriously: "Can you tell me something about you?" I don't want to know your secrets, the usual things, like your hobbies and stuff. ”
Hearing Lin Meiqi's pleading look, Li Lan did not refuse, looked at the transparent liquid in the wine glass, and said slowly: "You also know my life experience, I have told you some things about me before. Let's talk about something else today.
Actually, I am a very strong person, and I am also a very possessive person, or this is a common problem that many men have, but I am a bit stronger. A lot of times, I'm not a good person. As you have seen before, I will take revenge on my enemies with very cruel means.
I will be very enthusiastic about my friends, and I will help them as much as possible. For the inhabitants of the territory, I will try to free them from hunger. Maybe it's to get their love, or maybe it's to comfort your conscience.
So, I'm also a very conflicted person. (To be continued......)
