Chapter 23: The Guy He Likes

After He Xiao said this, he left in a hurry, and Xu Xinyi didn't even have a chance to say "pay attention to safety".

Because of her illness, she was not bright, and it took her half a time to realize what he meant before leaving.

The question she asked? Do you like that question about her?

He didn't deny it directly, but asked her to wait for an answer, so it would be ..... It's possible that he liked her, even if only a little.

This realization made Xu Xinyi ecstatic, like a child getting candy, rolling around on the bed happily, how could there be a shadow of illness and weakness.

After rolling around the quilt a few times, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately crawled out of bed, even if she was happy, the fever did not drop by half a point, the disease was still sick, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she was so soft that she knelt down, but fortunately, her eyes and hands quickly held the edge of the bed.

Half-kneeling on the floor, I tried several times before I staggered to my feet, top-heavy, and walked to the balcony, half-empty eyes to see a little clearer.

In the distance, military vehicles drove out of the troops, shattering the silence of the night.

He Xiao was there, he wore his military uniform, to defend the country's sovereignty and protect the safety of the Quartet.

Because her father is a soldier, she has had a special affection for soldiers since she was a child, in awe and admiration.

But she also told herself that it was good to have reverence for the soldiers, and that there must be no affection.

For military personnel, the country and the family, the former comes first.

My father devoted most of his life to the country and its people.

Her father was a hero, she was proud of defending the peace of the country, but she also complained in her selfish heart.

His father has made contributions to the country and made countless meritorious contributions, he is a qualified soldier, but he is not a qualified father.

She was brought up by her grandparents, she lived in the Jiangnan water town since she was a child, and she could only see her father a few times a year, and even if she did, she couldn't get along for a long time, and he would have to go on missions all over the world.

After her grandparents died, she was brought to the army, and even if she lived in the same city, even in the same place, she still didn't see her father often.

Other people's childhood, childlike words, happy and childish.

And her childhood was lonely and boring.

It was loneliness that made her precocious and independent.

So she made up her mind that her future partner would never look for soldiers.

She really has enough of this kind of day when she sees her once and doesn't know when she will see her next time.

But fate is a wonderful thing.

Before meeting He Xiao, she swore and was unwavering in all her decisions.

After meeting He Xiao, the girl Huaichun's affection easily disintegrated all her concerns and resistance.

She is a very defensive person and is wary of everyone but her family.

He was the first person she trusted in addition to her family, and he was also the person she believed in the most in her life.

When did you entrust him with the rest of your life?

It was at my father's memorial service.

She knelt in front of her father's coffin and wept silently, and everyone comforted her, saying that her father was a hero and that he was just guarding her and the country in another way.

These words are complete to her, she just wants a living father.

Just when he was grief-stricken, He Xiao wore a military uniform and came against the light.

He solemnly saluted his father's coffin, and stood for a long time without moving.

Their mood was the same deep sorrow.

Then, he withdrew his hand and walked slowly towards her, his military boots stepping on the floor, and the sound of the collision was firm, heavy, and too strong to ignore.

His tall body crouched in front of her, blocking out the light above his head, his aura enveloping her in all directions, and he wiped the tears from her face with one hand.

"Don't be afraid, I will take care of you from now on, you are my most important person."

"I will protect you as I would defend my country."

His voice was low and hoarse, and his tone was flat, but between the lines, it was so sonorous and powerful, and every word was full of a sense of security and went straight to people's hearts.

The whole world seems to be quiet, and time stands still at this moment.

She looked up at him, against the light, his face was blurred, only a distinct outline could be seen, but she looked clearly into his eyes, deep and deep eyes faintly flashed with tears, his eyes were slightly red, his eyes were sincere, guilty, and sad.

He made a solemn promise in front of his father.

She gave all the trust to the gods, choked up and nodded, and only said one word: "Okay." ”

When did you fall in love with him?

It was at the ceremony of his promotion to the rank of colonel, from captain to colonel.

The ceremony kicked off with the majestic singing of the national anthem, and the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission read out the promotion order, he wore an olive-green military uniform, stood straight, and solemnly received the order from the leader's hand, and the soldiers under the rostrum burst into warm applause.

This ritual condenses his most glorious and sacred moment.

And she, sitting on the family seat, witnessed this moment of glory that belonged to him and shared his glory.

His father was on the stage, his eyes and face were full of pride, pride.

She remembered that he stood on the stage, his eyes swept over the vast sea of people, searching for her figure, and when his eyes met, he hooked the corners of his lips and smiled faintly at her.

I don't know what's going on, her heartbeat suddenly skips a beat.

Then, I heard a "bang", and something fell into the heart lake, sinking to the bottom of the lake, and a ripple was raised.

It's such an ordinary smile, but she is immersed in it, and once she falls into it, she can't get out again.

Later, the way he swore an oath to the military flag, sang the military song, and protected the country and the people, all of which were the way she loved.

He was her first teenage spring and the only love of her cardamom years.

*

One by one, the military vehicles drove away from the troops, and Xu Xinyi was still stunned to see the direction in which the cars left.

The early morning wind is always exceptionally cool, blowing on his body, Xu Xinyi couldn't help but shiver.

Her head was sinking and the pores of her body were shrinking, goosebumps were getting all over her body, and she rubbed her arms as she prepared to go back to her room.

A female voice came from behind him.

"You're having a fever, how can you blow the wind?"

Xu Xinyi was slow to react, and slowly looked towards the source of the sound, Yang Xi was walking towards her with a medical box.

"Doctor Yang?" Xu Xinyi looked dazed, "Why are you here?" ”

"Captain He said you have a fever, so call me to take a look." Yang Xi walked up to her, supported her weak body, and led her into the house.

Originally, she was on duty, but suddenly received a call from He Xiao, and before she could speak, she heard He Xiao say in a hurry: "My mind is feverish, you go to see her, I'm sorry for you!" ”

She heard the emergency assembly post and knew that there was an emergency mission, but she didn't expect that at this time, He Xiao still had the heart to call her to tell her that Xu Xinyi was sick and was still concerned about her condition.

Xu Xinyi's heart was warm and sweet, as if she had knocked over a honeypot.

Yes..... It turned out to be He Xiao's foot Yang Xi here.

He was obviously in such a hurry to leave, but he didn't forget to find Yang Xi to treat her.

Back in the room, Yang Xi helped her to the bed, the bathrobe was loose, the neckline was slightly open, and the looming spring light was revealed.

Yang Xi only noticed what she was wearing at this time, and she faintly felt that something was wrong.

Why did Xu Xinyi dress like this? Even if he is an uncle and nephew with He Xiao, he shouldn't be so careless about dressing.

Yang Xi suppressed her thoughts, her face was still as usual, she took out a thermometer and clamped it under Xu Xinyi's armpit.

After a few minutes, I took it out, looked at my body temperature, and subconsciously frowned, and the fever was about to reach forty degrees.

Yang Xi immediately gave her a fever-reducing injection.

Then I poured her a cup of hot water, prepared antipyretics, and fed her when the water was cold.

Xu Xinyi was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.

Yang Xi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xu Xinyi's room leisurely, no different from an ordinary girl's room, pink and tender, full of girlish heart.

The room was full of dolls, dolls.

But what caught her eye was the huge teddy bear that had been placed next to the bed, with a cashmere blanket underneath it, clearly well protected, and the other dolls were placed haphazardly.

From this differential treatment, it can be seen that this teddy bear is Xu Xinyi's favorite doll.

Is there just something different?

Her gaze slipped inadvertently, and her gaze was fixed on the picture frame on the bedside table.

It is a photo of He Xiao and Xu Xinyi.

He Xiao in the photo is not wearing a military uniform, but wearing a private uniform, simple white T and black pants, his hair is as rigid as ever, but it is not as calm as it is now, and even a little more reckless and uninhibited of a teenager, he is holding a game controller in his hand, and there is a cigarette emitting a little white mist between the slender ones, when looking at the camera, his expression is obviously a little dazed, but Xu Xinyi is smiling extraordinarily brightly.

It should have been taken candidly.

He even had a cat mustache painted on his face.

Such a loving photo, Yang Xi bent the corners of her lips enviously, but her smile was a little bitter.

It's really good, Xu Xinyi has experienced He Xiao in every period.

Young and frivolous, unruly, now mature and steady.

"I took that photo secretly." The quiet room was suddenly broken by Xu Xinyi's weak voice, but there was a little more happiness in his tone, "At that time, I played rock-paper-scissors with him, and if I lost, I had to draw a beard on my face, and he lost every time." ”

In fact, Xu Xinyi knew that He Xiao deliberately let her every time.

He knew that she always subconsciously came out of the cloth, and then he deliberately came out of the stone.

"And the bear, he won it back for me by playing balloons."

All the balloons were broken by him, and it was effortless, so easy that the boss's eyes were about to fall out.

If the boss knew that he was a special soldier who shot fifty rings with a perfect score, he would definitely be even more angry.

"Doctor Yang, I know you like my uncle."

"But you can't."

"Because, there is someone who likes him more than you, and he likes him too."
