Chapter 24: Family Affection? Love?

Miss Dong nodded and said to me, "Well, I want to know." ”

I silently lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and told Miss Dong the details of the counter-interrogation.

"You know, I used to be an amphibious frogman in the special forces, and in wartime, I had to carry out special tasks such as enemy infiltration, assassination, sabotage, and intelligence gathering. Because of this, we have a high chance of being killed or captured. In order to avoid leaking information after being captured, we must undergo counter-interrogation training that is more brutal than the enemy in advance, so as to exercise our super will. ”

"How do you train?" Miss Dong asked

"Hmm...... There are many ways to do this. There are physical training, such as pinching fingers in a vice, pouring chili pepper water, embroidering needles to prick the fingers, hoses to strangle the throat, and so on. There are also spiritual aspects such as continuous high-intensity noise, sleep deprivation, confinement in confined spaces, waterboarding, and ......"

"Oh my God, it's horrible! Little Ash ...... It wasn't easy for you before. ”

Listening and listening, Miss Dong's face was pale and she couldn't listen anymore, she took my hand and looked at it again and again, as if looking for a scar, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with tears.

Looking at her pretty face, looking at the sparkle in her eyes, for a moment, a warm current hit my head.

This warm current made me, a special forces king who has been in the army for many years, has made meritorious contributions, shed blood, and is accustomed to the envy and admiration of others, once again feel what it is like to be cared for like a relative.

It's a good feeling like I've not seen for a long time, so good that I don't want to lose it after I have it.

Miss Dong took my hand, she bit her lip, and asked me in a choked voice:

"Little Ash, you suffered so much as a teenager, do your parents know? How could they bear to let you go to such a cruel place? ”

When I mentioned my family, my heart couldn't help but darken, and I said sadly:

"I don't have any family anymore, and before I joined the army, an accident took them away."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked you that. Miss Dong was shocked, and while saying this apologetically, she pulled my hand tighter.

"It's okay, it's been all these years, I don't mind."

Miss Dong said thank you, and fell silent at a loss. She didn't say anything, but I could feel that she was looking at me with more concern than before.

After a long time, Miss Dong pinched my arm, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to ask something, but she didn't say it in the end.

Seeing this, I smiled at her and asked softly, "Are you trying to ask me, why did you go to join the army?" ”

Miss Dong said "um" and nodded, but then shook her head as if she was afraid of reminding me of a sad past.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay to talk about it. In fact, the reasons for joining the army are very complicated, partly because of the reason for repaying the favor, and partly because of the reason for finding a way for myself, but more importantly, I like the life in the barracks. I was a little young, and I was suddenly orphaned and a little confused, and my brain was damaged in that accident, and my brain was not very bright, so I ended up being a vagrant beggar. Once, I was deported to a small county town, starved for three days, and when I was dying of starvation, I was rescued by a group of soldiers, and then I stayed in that unit......"

I said slowly, telling Miss Dong about my years one by one.

Maybe it's because I haven't talked to anyone for too long, or maybe it's because these things have been piled up in my heart for a long time and can't be released.

When I finished saying all this, I suddenly felt that my whole body had become much lighter, and the sadness that had been haunting me for a long time also dissipated at this moment.

After talking, I took a few deep breaths, and said apologetically to Miss Dong, who was listening to tears: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you listen to this, but it hurt you to be in a bad mood." ”

Miss Dong wiped her eyes and said a little embarrassed: "I should say I'm sorry for me, I reminded you of such a sad thing." ”

When Miss Dong said this, she looked at me and said to me with a somewhat complicated expression:

"Little Ash, if you don't mind, I'll be your sister in the future, okay? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just think that everyone needs to be accompanied by family, and I've wanted to have a younger brother since I was a child. Little Ash, would you like to be my brother? ”

My heart trembled, and I instinctively wanted to reject Miss Dong.

But at this time, I couldn't tell what I really thought in my heart. Because it makes me feel dirty to say those three words that make me blush and heartbeat to someone who wants to love me with family affection.

After some struggle, I smiled reluctantly at Miss Dong and said, "Okay, I'm willing to ......."
