Chapter 198: Nightmare

If it weren't for that nightmare, Chris and Yue'er would definitely be admitted to the same university, and they would have shared a good college campus life and worked together, Chrisi inherited the family's political legacy and embarked on a career in office, and Yue'er would definitely be his most powerful assistant to help him revitalize the family again. They will become the happiest and most compatible couple in the blessings of everyone.

However, God did not fulfill people's wishes, and everything that was originally beautiful was shattered by the earth-shattering catastrophe 12 years ago.

Twelve years ago, on November 1, armed terrorists in Libya planned a vicious terrorist attack against the United States, two civilian airliners hijacked by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center Building One and the World Trade Center Building Two in New York, respectively, the two buildings collapsed after the attack, and the remaining five buildings of the World Trade Center were also damaged by the earthquake.

This is news that shocked the whole world, because these two buildings are the pride of the United States, so this vicious incident has attracted the attention of everyone around the world. However, few people know that on the same day, in Libya, the same terrorist group also launched an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the American diplomat and his wife were killed together.

Yes, on this very day, Chris lost the most important family member in his life, his father is a US diplomat in Benghazi, Libya, originally because of the political turmoil, has planned to return to China at the end of the year, even the plane ticket has been bought, and Christmas can be reunited. And his proudest brother, who also came to the end of his life with a loud bang in his top office in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

No one can relate to Chris's pain without going through the same thing. Overnight, he seemed to be a different person, and due to his father's official rank and the influence of the family itself, the remains of Chris's parents were transported back to the United States, and flags were lowered at half-mast in the United States to hold a state funeral for his death. However, Chris never shed a tear in front of people, and the more he was like this, the more people around him felt sorry for him and worried about him.

I don't want to say anything about the World Trade Center Twin Towers, everyone knows what it is, and many people don't know about it, so those who are interested should search for the Benghazi incident. In terms of timing, I've made some changes, but here's what happened.

This is also the first time in 33 years that a US ambassador to a foreign country has died in an armed attack, and the whole country is saddened.

After such a nightmare-like change, Yue'er was most worried about Chris, and she didn't even know how to comfort him so that he could get out of the shadows as soon as possible. She guarded him carefully, not daring to mention what had happened in front of him, hoping that time would dilute his sadness.

In addition to silently accepting Yue'er's care, Chris has never taken the initiative to open his heart, he is becoming more and more silent, less and less talkative, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he relies on Yue'er's warmth, as if this is his only remaining life-saving straw, if he doesn't catch it, he will really drown in endless sadness.

Fei'er and Lu Yichen were still young when this happened, so no one told them what happened, they just found that suddenly one day, the gentle big brother next door seemed to appear less and less, and finally disappeared at all.

Lu's mother was also very distressed by Chris, and told Yue'er to accompany him as much as possible to help him get out of the pain of bereavement as soon as possible.

And just like that, they ended the college application season, and everyone was waiting for admission to the school. Yue'er and Chris's grades are very good, and their extracurricular activities are also quite good, to be honest, the probability of the two applying to the same school and being admitted is quite high, and Yue'er is silently looking forward to the magnet effect between the two working again, so that Chris and her can still get together smoothly......

Soon it was the school's Prom (prom), and although Chris wasn't much interested, he still cheered up and prepared everything with Yue'er. This is an unforgettable memory for every high school student, and it is even more important for them, and Chris can't miss any opportunity to create a beautiful memory for Yue'er.

On the night of the ball, he finally told Yue'er what he had been holding in his heart for the past few months, although he also understood what it all meant.

"I'm sorry, I can't go to college with you." This is Chris's opening words in the moonlight, he has actually been admitted to the school they have agreed to apply to, but that is no longer the direction of his life.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I also applied to West Point in private, and I've already been admitted." Chris took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say the next words, "The culprits of my parents and brother's affairs have been found, and the United States has sent the CIA to find Ben Langdon all over the world, I really can't let go, I have a deep blood feud, I must seek justice for my parents and brother." He took another deep breath and poured out all the pain in his heart with all his might, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, I have to avenge them with my own hands, otherwise I won't be able to get over this hurdle in my life." ”

Such words made Yue'er feel surprised, but not completely surprised. In the past few months, she has been by his side, but it is obvious that there is a missing piece in his heart, a piece that she cannot fill no matter how hard she tries.

It's just that she never thought that what he wanted to give up was his future and happiness. Chris's implication is clear, he wants to go to military school, he wants to fight enemies, which means that he has to go to those war-torn areas.

Many people only know about wars through the screen, but Yue'er knows that the real war is far more terrible than what you see in the movie, how can she make Chris make such a crazy decision.

She shook her head vigorously, tears the size of beans welling up in her eyes, and she begged Chris bitterly not to make such a decision. Yue'er once wrote a thesis in the 11th grade, which happened to be a study of Arab countries in war, so she watched a lot of documentaries and real war accounts, if there is really a hell in this world, it must be those countries that are still at war. Even in many areas where people live, the roads are littered with the wreckage of bombed-out houses, and some powerful explosion sites where trucks or tanks have been torn apart by shells like shredded paper. Even the well-equipped U.S. military is constantly in danger of life, and the thought of Chris being in such an environment makes Yue'er feel like her heart is about to stop. She felt that she had even seen the horrific images of flesh and blood in the movie in front of her eyes, but those were just movies, and she never imagined that there would be a moment when that kind of images would overlap with her life, let alone that it could happen to the person she loved the most and wanted to spend her life with.
