Chapter 168: Intentions
Jiang Zhen froze, was she discovered so soon?
Although he had been following her for the past few days, he was not ready to meet her, and now he was completely overwhelmed and distraught.
Now that it's been discovered, I can only go down and say hello to her, although it's hard to face, but it's also painful not to see it, so it's better to face it directly.
Just as Jiang Zhen was ready to drive the door down, at this time, he heard Xia Ning shout: "Senior, are you here like this?" ”
When Jiang Zhen heard this, Xia Ning was shouting "senior"? So, he looked in the rearview mirror of the car.
I saw Li Zibai standing not far from Xia Ning, standing face to face with her.
It turned out to be him! Regarding Li Zibai's appearance, Jiang Zhen didn't have much emotional ups and downs, just watched them quietly in the car.
Four years ago, he had a cold war with Xia Ning many times, and he completely lost her the last time, so Jiang Zhen only regarded Li Zibai as Xia Ning's friend now, and there was no hostility.
"I gave someone away in the morning, passing by here, remembering that you live here, and want to come to see you, but I don't know if you are at home?" Li Zibai said.
"Senior, I'm sorry, next time we talk, I'm going to work now!" Xia Ning said apologetically.
"It's okay, you go to work." Li Zibai said with a smile.
"Then I'm leaving, bye-bye!"
Jiang Zhen looked at Xia Ning's figure leaving in a hurry, and wanted to drive to follow, but saw Li Zibai walking in the direction of his car, and stopped in front of Jiang Zhen's car.
Li Zibai knocked on the car window, and Jiang Zhen rolled down the window.
Li Zibai said: "What a coincidence, you are also here." ”
Jiang Zhen got out of the car, leaned on the car door, and said, "Yes, what a coincidence! ”
"Since you're here, why don't you talk to her?" Li Zibai looked at Jiang Zhen's melancholy expression and said.
"Sometimes it's better not to say than to speak, and silence is sometimes a language." Jiang Zhen said lightly.
"Maybe it's just what you think, maybe she's not like this, are you arguing?" Li Zibai asked.
"It would be nice if it was a quarrel." Jiang Zhen said with a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.
"Actually, I envy you." Li Zibai said.
Jiang Zhen smiled and didn't speak, if he could, he would like to hope that this is the case, so that the "rival in love" envy him? It's also good.
No, Li Zibai continued: "Whether it was four years ago or four years later, you can be by her side with dignity. ”
"Dignified? Do you think I'm doing this now? You're looking too highly of me, too. Jiang Zhen laughed at himself.
"......" Li Zibai did not answer.
For Xia Ning four years later, he has only talked about it once, so he doesn't know her current situation very well, and he can't figure out the relationship between her and Jiang Zhen, although he has no chance anymore, he still hopes that she will live well, and after leaving her hometown for so many years, she still lacks a lot in her heart.
Both men stood silently and did not speak.
In the end, Li Zibai said to Jiang Zhen when he left: "Be good to her, he is a good girl." ”
How could Jiang Zhen not know, but now, he may not even have a chance, he has cut off his possible opportunity, and there is no hope at all.
Jiang Zhen's vacation ended soon, but he did not return to the army, and was forced to go back by Li Shengguo.
"I think you, the colonel, are too freewheeling, and you don't have any rules and discipline at all, I want to ask you what the hell are you thinking?" Li Shengguo said.
"I'm going to deal with the affairs of the Ning Ning family, can't this be?" Jiang Zhen retorted.
"Okay, didn't I grant you leave? What else are you not satisfied with? Jiang Zhen, we are soldiers, what we want to defend is our whole China, it is this family, followed by a small family, there is a country to have a home, I have warned you again and again, but you are still so loose, your sense of responsibility, your sense of honor, your overall situation, where have these gone? Where do you still look like a soldier, you think of this place as a place where you can come and go freely, and do you still pay attention to the orders of my chief? Li Shengguo said angrily.
"Hehe, I can't even protect my small family, but I still protect everyone? You think too highly of me. ”
Seeing Jiang Zhen's attitude and tone, Li Shengguo became even more angry and said, "You can have a good rest right away, hum!" Get out! ”
Li Shengguo roared.
Jiang Zhen gave a military salute, and then left Li Shengguo's office.
A day later, Unit 001, Jiang Zhen and various departments all received Jiang Zhen's punishment notice, and this time the punishment was also heavy, directly suspending Jiang Zhen's position, making him empty and letting him take a temporary indefinite leave.
First of all, Zhang Yang and Li Wei, who learned that they were resting, ran to Jiang Zhen's dormitory to find him and asked, "Boss, is this the case?" Why did you take a leave of absence, and what did you do? ”
"I feel that I am unorganized, undisciplined, and too loose, and may not be qualified for this position."
"!" Zhang Yang scolded, and then immediately said, "Boss, what happened?" ”
"It's okay, isn't it nice to take a vacation, I've always wanted to take a good rest!" Jiang Zhen said indifferently.
"Boss, when are you coming back?" Li Wei asked.
"Look at the meaning of the above, but you don't have to worry, I heard that your previous company commander is coming back, so I should return it to its original owner."
"Isn't there any room for negotiation?" Zhang Yang asked.
"That's good for me, I can finally do what I want to do without hesitation, because I have more time."
Zhang Yang and Li Wei knew what Jiang Zhen was talking about, and he had always been relieved that Xia Ning was in his heart, this time, maybe he wanted to abandon everything to pursue what he wanted.
Before Jiang Zhen took a vacation, all the soldiers he brought with him came to see him.
All of them had red eyes, and Jiang Zhen "scolded": "Big men, what are you wiping your nose, what do you want to do with a dejected face, I'm just on vacation, and it's not that I'm not coming back, as for it?" ”
"Okay, you go back to training quickly, and when I come back, if I find that you have regressed, I must be severely punished." Jiang Zhen continued.
Looking at their reluctant expressions, as well as the action of turning back three times, Jiang Zhen was also very emotional, will he come back? Maybe, maybe......
After all, it is normal for him to have a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he feels ashamed of them in his heart, they worship him so much, respect him, believe in him, and he treats them so much.
I'm sorry, brothers. Jiang Zhen said silently in his heart.
When Jiang Zhen returned home, when he saw the worried expressions on his father and mother's faces, he knew that they must know the news, and Father Jiang was fine, but Mother Jiang felt that her eyes were wet.
"Son, it's okay, it's just a vacation, it's okay." Mother Jiang comforted.
Jiang Zhen walked up to his mother and said, "Mom, isn't this very good, don't you always think I'm too busy to go home and have a look, this time it's just an opportunity, I'm very happy." ”
Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Zhen's expression and stopped talking, and hugged Jiang Zhen tightly.
Father Jiang on the side asked, "Is this your decision or the decision from above?" ”
Jiang Zhen got up from his mother's arms and said, "Dad, it's my decision and my decision, maybe most of it is my own!" ”
"Since when?"
"Four years ago, it was just an idea, no action, and it was just Xia Ning who came back from Xia Ning at the beginning!"
"Since it's been so long, I won't say anything, I respect your decision." Father Jiang said.
"Thank you, Dad!"
"You forget, since I was a child, I have supported you in whatever decisions you make, so this time is no exception, and I also feel that you need to rest, not only physically, but also mentally."
"Yes, this time I want to do what I have always wanted to do, thank you for your understanding."
"Silly boy, you are our son, thank you, I am the same as your father, no matter what decision you make, we will support it." Jiang Mu said.
"Hmm!"
Jiashi Company.
The business department is really busy, so busy that Xia Ning doesn't even have time to drink saliva, let alone think about other things.
But as soon as Xia Ning returned home, her mind was quickly filled with Father Xia, and there was nothing else to do, she kept switching between these two states.
The mental state is also very bad, Huo Tingge didn't go to the business department to see it, but thought of it from other people's descriptions.
When he finally saw Xia Ning, he saw that her face, which was originally the size of her palm, had become smaller, but there was still some meat on her face before, but now that the meat was consumed, her face was a little too thin.
"How are you doing?" Huo Tingge asked.
"It's okay, the business department is very substantial." Xia Ning replied.
"You seem to have lost a lot of weight." Huo Tingge walked up to Xia Ning, touched her face and said distressedly.
"I've lost weight, I've always wanted to lose weight." Xia Ning said with a smile.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Intended?" Xia Ning looked at Huo Tingge blankly.
"Do you want to be like this forever? Only living in your own spiritual world? Although you are working with other people, you have never really laughed or talked to people, am I right? ”
“……”
Xia Ning didn't refute it, because what he said was right.
"Are you going to turn me away?" Huo Tingge pinched Xia Ning's shoulders and forced her to look at him.
"Mr. Huo, I'm already working hard, please don't force me!"
"Forcing you? I really want to force you, so you might come out of the turtle shell, and if I want to force you, then I can do whatever I want, but are you sure you want me to do that? ”
"I ...... I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I was wrong. Xia Ning lowered her head and said.
Seeing her helpless and aggrieved appearance, Huo Tingge didn't say anything serious, but carefully held her in his arms and comforted her silently.
After a long time, Huo Tingge let go of her, and then said: "I know that you have not yet come out of the grief of your father's death, but what I want to say is that if this place can only bring you pain and sorrow, then I want you to make a plan or a decision, are you willing?" ”
