Chapter Forty-Eight: Really No
In other words, during tasks or work, Cheng Ji will not touch alcohol, which sometimes delays things.
Today is Jiang Tang's father's birthday, and the conversation mentioned that he had just arrived in Beiyu to participate in a rescue operation, of course, there was an accident in that operation, even if the plan was meticulous, it was really impossible to control the accident when it came to implementation.
Cheng Zhen miscalculated at the time and was almost injured, but Jiang Tang's father stepped forward to save him at that time.
If there was no Jiang Tang's father at that time, he might not die or be crippled.
It was also because of this accident that Cheng Zhen understood that there were some things that he had to protect with all his might, such as his comrades-in-arms, his subordinates, and this land.
Jiang Yang changed positions with him and moved forward steadily all the way.
Jiang Yang looked at him with his peripheral vision while driving, and Cheng Ji noticed his gaze and said, "Something?" ”
Jiang Yang was caught, his face changed slightly, he subconsciously scratched his cheek, and said, "It's okay, it's nothing." ”
Cheng Ji took a cigarette and lit it as usual, put his hand on the car window, and let the night breeze pour into the car, blowing his cheeks were cold, as if he didn't feel anything, and said: "If you have something, just say it, don't bother with it." ”
"Brother Jiu, I ......" Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Brother Jiu, Jiang Tang likes you, we have it for all to see, everyone knows it." ”
He still held grievances for Jiang Tang, although Jiang Tang asked him to inquire with Xiao Shi, but he still couldn't help but ask Cheng Jiu, he always worshiped Cheng Jiu as a target.
Men are tendons and don't like to twist and turn, and the same is true for Jiang Yang.
Cheng Yan rejected Jiang Tang's father's kindness at the dinner table, and Jiang Yang was also present, and he also saw it.
So it was normal for him to come and ask Cheng Jiu.
But whether Cheng Ji needs to explain to him depends on Cheng Ji's own wishes.
Cheng Jiu: "Jiang Yang, if I'm not mistaken, you and Jiang Tang are relatives?" ”
"Yes."
"Jiang Yang, there are some things I don't need to say, you also understand."
Jiang Yang: "...... Brother Jiu, I didn't ask this on purpose, just because Jiang Tang is my cousin, she has always been interested in you in her heart, we all know it. ”
After Jiang Yang finished speaking, his palms were in a cold sweat, and he noticed that the air pressure in the car was lower, and he was a little nervous and said, "I'm sorry Brother Jiu, I won't talk about it in the future......"
Cheng Yan didn't speak, pursed his lips and looked out the car window.
They returned to the team at two o'clock in the morning, and Cheng Ji returned to the team to rest for a few hours, and then drove to the inn to find someone after dawn.
After dawn, Jiang Yang knocked on the door of Xiao Shi's dormitory, Xiao Shi just got up, yawned and opened the door, and said, "Why are you so early?" ”
"I'll tell you to do morning exercises together."
"Let's go, then."
The two of them walked all the way towards the training ground, Xiao Shi hadn't slept yet, and kept yawning, and Jiang Yang was obviously thinking about something, looking preoccupied, he wanted to ask Xiao Shi, but he didn't know how to speak.
After running a few laps, Xiao Shi's breathing gradually became chaotic and said, "What's wrong with you, you can't run anymore?" ”
Jiang Yang said: "I came back late last night and didn't rest enough. ”
"Last night? You and Brother Jiu just came back? What about Brother Jiu, why don't you see him. ”
"Brother Jiu went out again early in the morning, and I don't know where to go."
Xiao Shi smiled: "I guess it's either a mission or looking for Miss Xin." ”
Jiang Yang: "How do you know?" ”
"Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
Jiang Yang smiled deliberately, "I really can't see it." ”
Xiao Shi thought of what Cheng Yan told him to shut up, he felt that Jiang Yang was his own person, not an outsider, and this matter was not something unsightly, so it didn't matter if he talked to Jiang Yang.
"You know Miss Xin, it's Miss Xin who has been living in the inn, she and Brother Jiu originally had a marriage contract, and we will change our name to sister-in-law in the future."
Jiang Yang sighed: "Is it true?" How do you know? ”
"Brother Jiu said." Xiao Shi warned him mysteriously, "But don't say it, Brother Jiu doesn't seem to want to make it public, you look at the iron tree of Brother Jiu, and then look at us, I don't know when we will be able to hold the beauty." ”
Jiang Yang was silent and said, "But when did Brother Jiu have a marriage contract, why have you never heard him say it?" ”
"There are many things we don't know, we've been with Brother Jiu for several years, do you know that he has a sister? I also found out yesterday, and Brother Jiu is really secretive, but Jiang Yang, I tell you that these must be kept secret. ”
Jiang Yang smiled and promised: "Yes, I will definitely keep it secret, but there is one more thing I want to ask you, didn't you meet Yutou's subordinates when you went out with Brother Jiu a few days ago?" At that time, it was you and Brother Jiu? ”
Xiao Shi scratched his hair when he talked about this, "And Miss Xin is also there." ”
"Are you alright? Didn't get hurt, did you? "Jiang Yang didn't see Xin Gan, and he didn't hear Cheng Ji mention it.
"It's okay, it's not dangerous."
"That's good, by the way, I still have something to ask you, find a place to talk, the cafeteria will also open, go to breakfast, talk as you go."
Xiao Shi: "You have something to say, who will follow whom." ”
……
Cheng Yan arrived at the inn early in the morning, and bought soy milk fritters when he passed the early stall in the market, thinking that she should be used to eating, but he didn't immediately go upstairs to find Xin Gan, but ran to ask the innkeeper if Xin Gan had ever left.
The hostess said, "No, I've been in the room." ”
Cheng Yan nodded, and was about to go upstairs when the proprietress suddenly stopped him, "Captain Cheng, you wait." ”
He turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Captain Cheng, did you bring this breakfast to other girls?" The proprietress covered her mouth and smiled.
Cheng Jiu: "Well, it's for her." ”
"I can't see it, Captain Cheng, that girl has a bad relationship with you, right? Don't blame me for being troublesome, I'm just curious to ask. ”
Cheng Yan smiled and didn't speak, in the eyes of the boss lady, it was a tacit acquiescence, since the relationship was acquiesced, the boss lady said to him directly: "I think that girl is a good person, there is one thing I think it is necessary to tell Captain Cheng that the young lady surnamed Jiang has been here a few times before, and she is looking for that girl, and it seems that every time she makes trouble, it is not very pleasant." ”
"I also happened to hear a sentence or two, Captain Cheng, that girl seems to be a little unhappy because of this, and she stays in the room all day and doesn't come out."
The proprietress told him this only for the sake of Cheng Jiu's face, Xin Gan felt very good, after this period of contact, the proprietress had a good impression of her, much better than the somewhat domineering Jiang Tang.
Cheng Zhen understood and thanked him.
The proprietress didn't care, Xin Gan lived in the inn during the time, it was all paid by Cheng Jiu, he could afford it, and specially told the proprietress to take care of her more, because he didn't come often.
……
Xin Gangang and Shen Ruxin told her about the evening flight through the phone, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Yongcheng Airport at about eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
Shen Ruxin repeatedly confirmed the flight time with her on the phone, and then reminded her that it was safe, of course, and asked her to talk to Cheng Yan first, it was rude to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Xin Gan sighed when she thought of talking to Cheng Jiu, she was afraid of an accident, so she planned to come and call Cheng Jiu when she arrived at the airport.
She didn't know Cheng Zhen very well, seeing that he was tall and sturdy, if she said it to her face, she was afraid that he would use violence to stay, after all, he looked like a man who would do such a thing.
So the safest thing is to cut first and then play.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xin Gan came back to her senses, glanced at her watch, and thought that Jiang Tang was looking for it again, so she didn't want to pay attention to it.
But the knocking on the door kept going, and she said angrily, "Who?" ”
The knock on the door stopped abruptly, and after a minute's pause, a familiar and unsure voice sounded outside the door.
"I, Cheng Zhen."
She suffered a cardiac arrest and sighed deeply, it seemed that her wishful thinking was wrong, but Cheng Ji still found it.
She went to open the door, stood in the doorway, and looked at him.
Cheng Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Have you eaten it?" ”
Xin Gan saw that he was carrying soy milk and fried dough sticks in his hands, and was stunned for a moment, and said, "I, I've eaten it." ”
"So early? What did you eat? ”
"......" Xingan didn't speak, she was a little cramped and uneasy.
Cheng Ji walked past her into the house as if he was familiar, and when he opened the door, he saw her dressed, obviously going home. He pursed the corners of his lower lip and looked into the room quietly, and sure enough, he saw the suitcases that had been packed, the beds were clean, the quilts were stacked neatly, and there were no bottles and jars of unnamed skin care products on the table.
Xingan couldn't stop him from entering the house, so he didn't stop him, and asked him to check the room.
Cheng Yan put the soy milk and fritters on the table, his cheeks were tense, and he said, "Have you put everything away?" ”
Xingan: "Hmm. She didn't deny it, she admitted it directly.
Admitted it quickly, and after answering, he didn't speak, and he didn't want to make any explanation, Cheng Zhen was a little temperamental, and he had never seen a woman like her.
Cheng Yan pulled a chair from the side, sat down facing her, pondered for a while, and said, "Don't you want to tell me something?" ”
Xingan asked, "What do you want me to say?" ”
"When's the flight?"
"Tonight."
Cheng Jiu's throat rolled a few times, and his words were a little cold: "Xin Gan, you take my words as a deaf ear? ”
When Xingan hadn't completely angered him, he hadn't seen him harsh on himself before.
And because she was leaving, he sensed something, and came up to her and questioned her, but she didn't explain, and he was somewhat unhappy.
She saw his wrinkled eyebrows, the corners of his unhappy mouth deflated, and his tone was also cold and serious, she was a little stunned in her heart, stunned for a while, and whispered: "I'm not used to staying here, I want to go home." ”
She knew that she couldn't force himself with him, and that being hard might really make him very unhappy, so she simply lowered her head temporarily and softened her attitude.
This is what she learned from He Cheng, even if she has always been reluctant to admit it.
Xingan wanted to go back and stay away from him.
Cheng Zhen couldn't help but think of He Cheng, the name she dreamed of calling, when she heard it, she didn't expect it to be He Chuan's younger brother He Chuan.
Although He Chuan did not explicitly say what happened between her and He Cheng, the lock screen and the name she dreamed of were enough to show that there must be some story between the two of them.
Cheng Yan looked at her, she was panicked, stood back, and said, "You can't ......"
"What can't I do?"
Xingan: "......"
"So I can't do anything?"
Xin Gan was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at him directly, so he quickly avoided his gaze.
Cheng Ji sat there without being angry and arrogant, Xin Gan was stunned by his appearance, and naturally he didn't dare to say anything that would make him unhappy.
And the ticket she booked was for the night, at this time, she couldn't conflict with him.
Cheng Zhen called her: "Xin Gan, speak." ”
Xingan had seen his anger that time, and it was not particularly serious, but she felt that her self-esteem was humiliated, and that there would be no one else, and she still felt that her self-esteem was hurt, she had done nothing wrong, why was she questioned by him here as if she had done something wrong.
She looked him in the eye again and said, "You have seen it all, what else is there to say." ”
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"Hmm." She nodded without hesitation.
Cheng Zhen laughed in a low voice, and suddenly returned to the image of the iron-blooded and ruthless tough guy in the past, and said: "If you want to leave, you can tell me directly, I will send you to the airport, and I will not force you to keep if you really want to leave." ”
Xingan subconsciously asked, "Really? ”
"What do you mean, do you think I'm going to force you to keep you?"
"That's not what it means......" she relented again.
Cheng Yan was blocked in his chest in one breath, he didn't have a problem with her, and he couldn't reprimand her like a subordinate, he could only ask her: "Everything is put away?" ”
Xingan was not sure what he meant, and asked, "Are you really willing to let me go?" ”
"Or else?"
Xin Gan said a word, but did not speak.
Cheng Yan kept looking at her expression and observing her leaking emotions, "If you want to leave, I can't stop you." ”
Her heart and body are not with him, and it is not interesting for him to force him to stay.
The two faced each other for a long time, but Xingan broke the silence and said, "Thank you." ”
She didn't have anything to say to him but thank you.
Cheng Ju got up and took a few steps closer to her, she made a loud alarm and stepped back, Cheng Ju was stunned, his voice was low, and he said, "I'm so scared of you?" ”
"No, it's not."
"Xingan, your body betrayed you."
Xin Gan was exposed to the true thoughts in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, I'm afraid of you, if you really make a move, I am not your opponent." ”
"Then you're still flirting with me."
"Where did I tease you?"
"All the time."
Xingan: "......"
She was too clever to understand the meaning of his words, and from the moment he repented, she realized that something was not right.
He would say this kind of thing again, and there were ripples in her heart, she didn't want to think about it carefully, let alone understand, to explore, she just wanted to stay away, to escape.
She didn't respond, she didn't speak at all.
Cheng Jiu's mobile phone rang at an inopportune time again, it was a call from the family, and it happened to be his mother.
He said to Xingan, "My mother's phone." ”
Xingan was a little nervous.
Cheng Zhen answered the phone, and the other end went straight to the topic: "How are you and Xingan?" ”
"Not much."
Chengmu: "What do you mean it's nothing, it's been so long since Xin Gan, haven't you made any progress?" Or is there something you're doing that isn't good enough to upset people? I said you're not in a hurry, we're in a hurry, you're not too young, Xin Gan finally graduated and returned to China, let's finalize the matter of the two of you first, okay? ”
Xin Gan looked at Cheng Yan nervously, afraid that he would tell Cheng's mother directly, so that she would be very passive.
Cheng Yan said: "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”
"Why don't you worry, your grandfather gave a death order, you must be married this year, the Xin family's grandfather also said so, you must not make any trouble." Cheng's mother sighed, "You talked about your girlfriend in college, don't think I don't know, if people Xin Gan knows about this matter, because of this matter, I will not be done with you." ”
Cheng's mother always remembered this, when Cheng Yan fell in love, she turned a blind eye and did not block it excessively, but in private, she also put a lot of pressure on the woman.
Cheng Yan didn't say anything, and avoided the serious: "I know." ”
"You know that you have to listen to it, treat others well, it's best to take her home to get the certificate first during this time, and the rest of the wedding will be held after you take your marriage leave."
Cheng's mother has thought about it, so she waited for the two of them.
Cheng's mother was very anxious, firstly, considering that Cheng Jiu's age was really not young, and secondly, because Xin Gan was young, beautiful, and had a good personality, she was afraid that Cheng Jiu would not care about it again, and it would not be good if anything changed in this marriage.
The main thing is that Cheng's mother really likes Xin Gan, otherwise she wouldn't be full of praise for her.
Cheng Yan said a few perfunctory words, hung up the phone, and asked her: "What time is the flight, I'll send you." ”
"Evening." Xin Gan bit her lip, "Is it Aunt Cheng?" ”
"Hmm." Cheng Yan thought for a while and said, "When you go back, they will definitely ask you about the two of us, how can you say it after thinking about it?" ”
Xingan: "I don't know yet. ”
"If you don't know, just mention it to me?"
It was her turn to sigh: "Take one step at a time." ”
"Whatever you want." He just said coldly.
Cheng Zhen still has something to do, so he went back to the team first, and before he left, he said that he would come over to see her off at the airport in the evening, and asked her to wait for him, not to go first.
Xingan agreed.
Soon after he left, Xingan touched the soy milk on the table, which was completely cold, as did the fritters.
……
Cheng's mother hung up the phone, Cheng Hui was still shouting to go to Beiyu to find Cheng Ji, Cheng's mother disagreed, and said: "Don't bother people, just like you, aren't you afraid of being trained by your brother?" ”
Cheng Hui said: "I am already very sensible, and I promise that I will be obedient and will not make trouble, and there is no reason for him to want to train." ”
"No, your future sister-in-law is still over there, and if you go, you're going to make trouble."
Cheng's mother didn't agree with anything, and said, "You can go wherever you want to play after a three-month vacation, but you can't disturb your brother and your future sister-in-law." ”
"Okay, Mom, even if you are ruthless, then I won't go anywhere, I'll bother you at home!"
Cheng Hui went upstairs with negative anger after speaking, deliberately making a loud walking sound.
Cheng's mother shook her head helplessly, and turned her head to ask Xin Gan's mother to have afternoon tea to promote the relationship between the two families.
Xin's mother received a call from Cheng's mother, and it happened that Shen Ruxin was with the child, so Xin's mother asked Shen Ruxin to take Coco to have afternoon tea with Cheng's mother.
When the two families met, Cheng's mother praised Coco for being cute and likable, and mentioned Cheng Ji and Xin Gan while talking, saying: "In the future, Xin Gan and Cheng Ji will have such a cute child, and I will have something to do at that time." ”
Xin's mother echoed: "Yes, yes, when the time comes, the two of us will help them take care of the children, so that they don't have to do anything at home after retirement." ”
The two elders are happy, exchanging parenting heart sutras, only Shen Ruxin is like a mirror in her heart, but she can't pour cold water on the two elders, and she can't say it yet.
