Sunlight shines through the curtains woven in light yarn and scatters on the sheets. The soft breeze also lifted the light gauze curtains slightly, and mischievously slipped into the room to play freely.

"Hmm......"

It seemed that because of the colorful sunlight scattered in the room, the eyes that had been closed for a while finally opened.

"Lieutenant Colonel, are you awake!?"

A familiar voice rang out. There was a heartfelt joy in his voice.

"Hmm." Sergei replied, and his gaze, which had become a little confused from a long period of sleep, became clear again after a little wandering. I saw him look at the bedside. Now, he could see the person sitting on the edge of the bed clearly.

"It's you. Guvadoro. Long time no see. How's it going? ”

Hearing Sergei be able to call out his name clearly, Guvadoro's heart gradually relaxed. "Well, long time no see! Lieutenant Colonel. It's great that you're okay! ”

"Hmm." Sergei nodded slowly, then looked around the room again and asked, "This is Earth?" Is it a hospital? ”

Guvadoro nodded. "Yes. I heard that Lieutenant Colonel, you were injured on the other side of Mars. If it weren't for the emergency treatment equipment in the fleet, I'm afraid the lieutenant colonel wouldn't have made it back to Earth. ”

"Really? Looks like I'm still a fortune teller. Sergei smiled, not in the slightest concern about the previous catastrophe.

Guvadoro looked at Sergei with a relaxed face and hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable. And this scene was discovered by Sergei almost at the same time.

"What? Guvadoro. Is there something wrong? Sergei asked casually, and then suddenly realized: "That's right." Guvadoro, you should be on duty now. Why are you still here? Don't hurry back yet. Isn't it clear to you about the current situation? ”

Before he could ask the doubts in his heart, Guvadoro, who was snatched away by Sergei for a while, suddenly found that he had nothing to say, and even the questions he wanted to ask were gagged, and he did not have the courage to say it at all. In the end, the young lieutenant could only stand upright, salute, and say loudly: "Yes! Lieutenant Colonel, my subordinates will return to their posts immediately. ”

"Well, go ahead." Although Sergei could not get out of bed for the time being, he returned the favor.

Turn around, take a step, and do it in one go, without the slightest mud and water. Looking at Guvadoro, who had such a military temperament, a hint of appreciation flashed in Sergei's eyes. Once upon a time, after the disappearance of the super-soldier girl, Guvadoro, a thinner super-soldier boy, filled the vacancy.

And in the ensuing battle, the super-soldier boy also proved his worth, and at the same time made the very principled Sergei feel painful. In order to achieve its goal, the super-soldier experiment secretly carried out by the super-soldier agency was soon reported to Sergei for banning.

Immediately afterwards, the super-soldier boy who had lost his place was also accommodated by Sergei and taken to live in Smirnov's house. After several years of getting along, the supersoldier boy unconsciously learned most of Sergei's behavioral habits. And the very military demeanor was also learned at this time.

"That's right. Guvadoro. Remember what I mentioned earlier? Just as Guvadoro opened the door and was about to leave, Sergei's voice suddenly came.

"Yes!!"

At this moment, Guhuadoro's body suddenly straightened like a javelin. Immediately after, he turned around cleanly and faced Sergei again.

"Lieutenant Colonel. From the beginning, as a super soldier, I didn't feel like I was a normal person, so I thought of myself as a weapon. But after I met the lieutenant colonel, I learned a lot, and I was carefully taught and cared for by the lieutenant colonel on the way. ”

"However, I didn't expect a weapon like me, no, a person like me could be recognized by the lieutenant colonel, so when the lieutenant colonel brought up that matter, I was surprised and confused."

"Can someone like me really be the person a lieutenant colonel expects? I don't know anything about anything other than supersoldiers, but even so, even so......"

At this point, Guwardoro's voice suddenly stopped, as if a stone was blocking his throat, leaving him speechless. Guvadoro's face quickly turned red. At this moment, there was a force in the darkness that pushed Guvadoro to speak from the heart.

"If, if this is what the lieutenant general meant, if, if the lieutenant general does not think it is my wishful thinking, I will, from the bottom of my heart, I am willing to ask the lieutenant colonel to be my adoptive father!"

Guvadoro's eyes quickly filled with a mist for a moment, and he bent down sharply, bowed deeply, and shouted: "Please Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Smirnov to be my adoptive father." Please recognize me as your adopted son!! ”

The next moment, Sergei's laughter rang out throughout the ward. "Hahahahaha. After all, you're still willing. ”

The laughter gradually stopped, and Sergey said loudly: "Raise your head! Now that you have become a man of the Smirnov family, you should hold your head high and look forward boldly! ”

"Yes, yes, no, yes! Father! "Guvadora was now extremely relieved, and he boldly spoke his thoughts, and after solving the troubles that had been haunting his heart all along, he finally got the result he wanted.

"Well, second lieutenant. Let's go back to work! Wait for my father to get back together after he is discharged from the hospital. Sergei smiled and nodded, letting Guvadoro go again.

"Yes, father." This time, Guvadoro's figure quickly disappeared from the door.

The breeze lifted the curtains again and slipped into the room, making Sergei's mood more and more relaxed. Although the place where he was now was a hospital, judging from his memories and the current situation, the outcome of that battle would probably not be worse there. Until then, the people he gave up protecting should be fine, and he might be able to evacuate safely and return to Earth.

As if Heaven had learned of Sergei's speculation, the person he was thinking about soon appeared in front of him. And judging by the man's words and deeds, it seems that he has been outside for a long time.

"Lieutenant Colonel, it seems that you are fine, and your subordinates will be relieved." As always, the rigid words, the stiff face that can't be regained, and the bouquet of flowers that were reluctantly placed on the vase.

When Sergei saw this scene, he suddenly wanted to laugh, but considering not to stimulate the man's nerves too much, Sergei decided to deal with it as calmly as before.

"Thank you for your concern! Lieutenant Andrew. ”

"That's what subordinates should do."

I have to say that although they are father and son, they are strangers even more strangers than strangers in terms of questions and answers.

Put the vase, walk to the bed, pull out the chair, sit down, straighten your waist, put your hands flat on your thighs, put the fingers of your hands together on your knees, and do not squint, just like a standard military sitting posture.

However, this set of movements does not seem to be suitable for visiting patients, right?

But Sergei surprisingly did not refute Andrew's faux pas. For a while, one sat on the bed, his eyes were vaguely drifting, and the other sat upright, without squinting, and posed as if the well water did not interfere with the river water.

I don't know how long it took, but it was Andrew who was the first to consume all his patience. The young lieutenant loosened his shoulders slightly, and after slanting a glance at Sergei, the corners of his mouth moved.

"Lieutenant Colonel. When I came just now, I seemed to see the figure of Second Lieutenant Guwardoro. Did he come to see you? ”

Sergei's somewhat wandering gaze condensed slightly, and he nodded, which was an answer to Le Andrew's question. After slowing down, Sergei looked Andrew up and down, and then smiled slightly: "Andrew, it's good that you're okay." ”

"Yes. The subordinate was able to stay safe and sound, also thanks to the cover of the lieutenant colonel. Andrew didn't know why, but when he saw the relieved smile on Sergei's face, he suddenly felt resentful, and had to make his voice instantly stiff.

"Really?" Sergei's eyes darkened, and he sighed secretly. "It's fine."

Silence fell suddenly.

Both Andrew and Sergey found a topic to talk about at this moment. Whether Sergei wants to communicate with his son, or Andrew's thoughts.

"Just now, I saw Second Lieutenant Guwardoro leave with a smile on his face. What did you do? His mouth opened, and Andrew's words came to his lips, and suddenly changed again.

Sergei glanced at Andrew, who seemed to have some concerns, but finally told the truth. "I took Guvadora and became my adopted son. Andrew, you have a younger brother. ”

Without warning.

After Sergei told the truth, silence fell again. And at this time, Sergei suddenly found out that his son, Andrew's resentment towards him, seemed to be deepening.

"Why?"

"Why? Why don't you just adopt a child without telling me? Is it because Guvadora is a super soldier, because controlling the super soldier can make your profession stable, and it is more likely to attack the position of general? ”

Resentment erupted.

Andrew's eyes widened, and he looked at Sergei fiercely and asked loudly.

"It's like when you sacrificed your mother, left her in that mortal place and ignored her, and used it as a prop that can be discarded at any time, and wooed Second Lieutenant Guhuadoro in the name of your adopted son, right? Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Smirnov!! ”

Faced with the questioning, Sergei's eyes were calm, and he looked at Andrew's resentful eyes calmly and said slowly: "What do you think? ”

"You!!" Andrew was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth fiercely, and replied bluntly: "The subordinate is going back to duty!" Lieutenant Colonel, I beg your pardon for retiring! ”

Turning around, the footsteps full of hatred gradually walked away, and the moment Andrew stepped out of the room door, a sentence floated in.

"Lieutenant Colonel. Why save me? ”

"Probably, at that moment, I was your father!"

"Huh."

The voice fell, and the automatic goalkeeper kept Andrew's back behind the door.
