Chapter 426: Giving Roses
In the small garden behind the door's house, Men Shaoxuan stood quietly among the flowers and plants in the courtyard, looking up at the boundless sky, looking peaceful but lonely.
Men Shaoting walked in slowly, looking up at the sky at the same angle, and occasionally saw a little star in the suburbs of the capital where the haze had cleared.
"Looks like tomorrow is going to be a good day."
Men Shaoxuan turned around, looked at him with a light smile, and nodded, "I think so too." ”
The two of them, although they have only met a few times, actually know each other very well.
Especially Men Shaoting, he did not hesitate to use the old man's relationship to investigate Men Shaoxuan's experience over the years, although it cannot be said that he knows everything about him, but it can be regarded as extremely detailed.
And Men Shaoxuan for Men Shaoting, for so many years, the two of them have actually been playing.
It's just that Men Shaoting has always been in the light, and he has been in the dark.
The game of cat and mouse, the two have been playing unconsciously for more than ten years, but unfortunately the cat has not been able to catch the mouse, but the mouse has a clear understanding of the cat's habits.
"Settled?" Men Shaoting looked at him and asked lightly.
"Hmm."
Men Shaoxuan's answer was concise and crisp, just like his person, clean and clean without the slightest delay.
"Don't you think you're being selfish in doing this? That poor woman has been looking for you for nineteen years, and now she has finally found you, and you still refuse to marry her, if she knew the danger of this mission, do you think she would hate you? ”
Men Shaoxuan looked at the small rose garden in front of him lightly, sighed, and said, "Because of this, I can't marry her." ”
With that, he raised his legs and walked towards the rose garden.
"It can be seen that the second aunt is a very romantic woman, and she has planted so many roses for herself, so that she can sit on the sea of flowers every day."
Men Shaoting tugged at the corners of his mouth, of course he knew why his mother planted this rose for herself, just to comfort her lonely heart.
But now it seems that there is no need, the relationship between her and Menzheng is already the same as her first love, and now this rose has become the foil for her happy life.
Happiness is like a flower, purple and red.
"You've really figured it out?"
Men Shaoting did not answer Men Shaoxuan's words, but looked at the dark night in the distance with some worry, and asked lightly.
"Well, it's been nineteen years of preparation."
Listening to Men Shaoxuan's words, the corners of Men Shaoting's mouth couldn't help twitching twice, he had been preparing for nineteen years, but he couldn't kill the enemy, should he praise him, or should he sympathize with him!
"If you want to laugh, laugh out, don't hold back, it's easy to get sick." Men Shaoxuan glanced at Men Shaoting lightly.
His eyes were clearly mocking him.
"Don't talk about you, even I despise myself very much," Men Shaoxuan sighed, and then said slowly: "But since you wear this military uniform, many times you can't help yourself, obviously the enemy is in front of you, obviously as long as you gently pull the trigger with your fingers, you can kill him, and avenge your parents who died in vain, but this military uniform makes you endure it, you have to endure it, so you can only endure it, and you can only swallow it into your stomach if you knock out your teeth." ”
Men Shaoting nodded understandingly, reached out and patted Men Shaoxuan's shoulder, as a soldier, he could understand Men Shaoxuan's feelings.
"Understand, to be honest, I admire you. Your endurance and tenacity are not something that a random soldier can do, and I might not be able to do it. ”
Men Shaoting turned his head, looked at Men Shaoxuan seriously, and said solemnly: "So, big brother, my brother admires you, I really admire you." ”
Men Shaoxuan smiled faintly, "There's nothing to admire, it's just to carry out the tasks assigned by the above." ”
The two brothers didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere became extremely silent for a while, as if time had stood still at this moment.
They didn't notice that just around the corner of the garden, a pair of wise eyes showed an expression of great relief.
Men Guangrong looked at the two brothers who were talking happily not far away, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth with satisfaction and laughed silently.
Unexpectedly, the two juniors are much more sensible than them, although they have never lived under one roof, it is easier to communicate spiritually.
I can finally rest assured.
The door turned away gloriously and departed, a slender figure scattered in the bright moonlight.
"Huh," after a long time, Men Shaoting lightly elbowed Men Shaoxuan with his elbow, and continued, "Can I ask you a question?" ”
Men Shaoxuan turned his head and looked at him with a light smile, "I thought you were asking me questions just now." ”
Men Shaoting raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, it was indeed true, he had been asking him questions just now. But this time, the topic is very different.
"You really haven't been moved by my wife at all?"
This question has been entangled in Men Shaoting's heart for more than a day or two.
When Men Shaoxuan had been lying unconscious in the hospital before, he couldn't help but almost open his mouth several times, wanting to ask a question to a comatose person.
Now that Men Shaoxuan has finally come to his senses, and finally caught a chance to be alone with only the two of them, he will really hold back his internal injuries if he doesn't ask.
Men Shaoxuan looked at him with a funny face, and asked without answering, "What do you think?" ”
Men Shaoting raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me you're not tempted at all, my wife is so beautiful and cute, she is a man, normal men will have ideas, not to mention ...... She ......, "She's been stupidly crushing on you for years!"
"How is she?" Men Shaoxuan looked at Men Shaoting with teasing eyes, most of his understanding of this cousin came from the information given above, and he had played a game of cat and mouse with him for so many years.
But these may seem exhaustive, but in fact many of them are superficial.
To truly understand a person, you have to have enough time to get to know them.
Now looking at Men Shaoting's somewhat childish expression, Men Shaoxuan couldn't help but feel funny, and couldn't help but want to tease him.
"Don't tell me you don't know that she has always had a crush on you, if you don't even know this, you, the elite of the special intelligence department, are a fake with nothing on the outside."
Tricking him? Just kidding, he has always been the only one to play tricks on others, when will it be someone else's turn to play tricks on him!
"Well, I do know." Men Shaoxuan didn't joke anymore, but said very seriously.
"Then you really haven't been tempted?"
Men Shaoting still asked without giving up, "Last time, you teamed up with Bai Mufeng to deceive her and kidnap her in disguise to make a deal, and I won't pursue it." What is the reason why you sacrificed your life to save her this time? Is it just out of your military duty? ”
This question has always made Men Shaoting very troubled.
He didn't believe that Men Shaoxuan was just because he was a soldier, because soldiers had the obligation to protect the people, so he would sacrifice his life and death to stand up for Sang Zhi to block the gun, just as he didn't believe that Men Shaoxuan had never known that Sang Zhi had a crush on him.
"Of course not!"
Men Shaoxuan's answer made Men Shaoting's heart tense.
Sure enough, his purpose is not so simple, and he is not so pure to the mulberry branches.
Seeing Men Shaoting's obviously stiff expression, Men Shaoxuan couldn't help but smile and said: "My younger brother and sister are young and beautiful, and they were even more youthful and beautiful when they were in college, to say that I am not interested in her at all, it is a lie." ”
Look, he knows that this thing once coveted his wife's beauty.
Listening to Men Shaoxuan's words, Men Shaoting's face couldn't help but darken, and a circle of black lines slowly rose from his face.
"But," Men Shaoxuan looked at him with teasing eyes, love is selfish, no matter how generous a man is, he can't bear to be coveted by other men who love the woman he loves deeply.
"However, I have no choice but to meet at the wrong time, I already have a woman I like in my heart, and I look at Sang Zhi's expectant eyes at me every day, even if I can't bear it, I can only pretend that I don't know anything." Men Shaoxuan said, and couldn't help sighing, "Actually, thinking about it, I'm also quite ruthless." Just watching her disappointed again and again, I could only show indifferent indifference. ”
"Stop, don't be emotional. I thank you for your indifference, remember, she is now your brother and sister, no longer the girl who used to have a crush on you and doesn't understand anything, she loves me now. Don't have any other thoughts about her, the relationship between the two of you can only be the relationship between the eldest uncle and his younger siblings, it is now, it will always be, it will never change! ”
Men Shaoting finished speaking in one breath almost without pause, and then looked straight at Men Shaoxuan, waiting for him to make a statement.
Men Shaoxuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, bent down, picked a fiery rose, and raised his hand at Men Shaoting, "Roses have thorns, be careful not to hurt your hands." ”
After speaking, he pinched the roses and didn't look at the door, and walked straight towards the house.
Men Shaoting frowned, but in an instant, a comfortable smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he also followed the example of Men Shaoxuan, bent down and folded a rose and entered the house.
When Sang Zhi and Fang Yuanyuan woke up the next day, they didn't see their man, but they both saw a delicate rose and a small note at the head of their bed.
Sang Zhi looked at the roses with some surprise, and couldn't tell what it was like.
Is this a flower he gave to himself? Although it is not the first time I have received flowers from him, it seems that this time the flowers are particularly beautiful and fragrant.
Look at it, you know, this is the flower in the rose garden planted by the mother-in-law in the small garden behind the house, I really don't know what kind of madness the door Shaoting is, and he will actually run to the garden in the middle of the night to fold a flower for himself.
But no matter what his intentions are, his intentions are always good.
Although it was only a lonely flower, Mulberry Branch still found a thin vase, filled it with water, and carefully inserted the flower into it to raise it.
Looking at the delicate flowers that have not yet fully opened, gently touching his belly, Sang Zhi whispered: "Let's wait for Dad to come back." ”
Sang Zhi came over and asked Fang Yuanyuan to go downstairs to eat, and knocked lightly on the door, but he couldn't hear Fang Yuanyuan's reaction inside.
Gently pushed the door open and went in, only to see Fang Yuanyuan sitting at the head of the bed, holding a note in her hand, looking at the fiery red rose on the bedside table in a daze.
"Sister-in-law, you also received roses? It was sent by my cousin, right? ”
Sang Zhi walked in and asked with a smile.
She thought that Men Shaoting was the only one who was crazy, so she took advantage of her sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the back garden to steal the roses planted by her mother-in-law and give them to herself.
Unexpectedly, it was the behavior of the two brothers together, Fang Yuanyuan's rose must have been stolen by Men Shaoxuan and given to her, no need to ask, the note in her hand is estimated to be the same as Men Shaoting's.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did my cousin leave you a note saying that he went on a mission and would be back soon, so you don't have to worry about anything, uh? ”
Anyway, that's how Men Shaoting left it for her, so Sang Zhi didn't want to ask Fang Yuanyuan like this.
"Uh...... yes, yes. ”
Fang Yuanyuan reacted at this time, and quietly put away the note while dealing with the mulberry branches.
