After sending the urn to the military designated place, a military general expressed his highest respect to the soldiers.
But that was all.
There was no medal ceremony, no welcome ceremony, and no words.
Oh. There was only one sentence.
"Thank you for your hard work. Rest early. "
After saying that, the military general strode away surrounded by four guards.
On the other hand, the soldiers also walked into the dormitory prepared by the military in advance. No one spoke, no one made a sound. What greeted them was endless loneliness …
"I'm going back to the Long Formation to find General Qi!"
Obviously, Jiang Qing was irritated by the indifferent attitude of the military.
Not only him, but Wei Jiang was also extremely dissatisfied.
Wei Jiang lit a cigarette and said with a solemn expression, "I'm going back to the army." "Go back now!"
It seemed that he also planned to go back to the army to argue with his superior.
Why?
The soldiers returned with honor. Why didn't they say anything? Even the military general who was sent over didn't leave any useful words.
Was this the attitude of a war hero?
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, then crushed the cigarette pack in his pocket and threw it into the garbage basket.
Late at night.
He should go home.
Perhaps at this moment, only the family that would always keep a lamp on for him would be able to soothe his battered heart. His bleeding heart did not stop.
…
Lin Huayin cooked the rice, cooked the dishes, and made soup in the clay pot.
It was already half past ten. Xiao Zheng hadn't come home yet.
Lin Huayin sat on the sofa with a cup of tea on the coffee table. Just like that, they quietly waited for his return.
She understood the whole story. Even if she didn't want to know, someone would tell her.
But so what?
Did Lin Huayin care? She didn't care.
She just waited for Xiao Zheng with complicated feelings. She knew that Xiao Zheng must be in a bad mood. Very bad.
She was even ready to smile. A kind smile.
It was said that a smile could melt all the coldness in the world.
But when the door was opened, Xiao Zheng stood at the door with a tired face. Lin Huayin couldn't smile.
His eyes were filled with heaviness.
His face was covered with a thick gloom that could not be dispelled.
Lin Huayin had never seen Xiao Zheng like this before.
How much grievance must he have suffered for him to be so dejected and dejected?
"You're back."
It was rare for Lin Huayin to talk nonsense.
At this moment, she had to take the initiative to speak. Because she could see Xiao Zheng's gloominess and loneliness.
At this time, besides her, who else could comfort him?
"Okay." Xiao Zheng put down the luggage. He forced a smile on his face.
It was very bitter.
It was like a yellow lotus. His heart was filled with bitterness.
"Hungry?" Lin Huayin handed over a wet towel. She said softly. "Let's eat first."
Unlike before, she didn't ask Xiao Zheng to wash up in the bathroom. Instead, she personally handed him a towel.
Xiao Zheng's loneliness made her subconsciously lower her stance.
Perhaps, this was the power of love.
Wasn't it only love that could make such a stubborn and arrogant woman lower her face?
"Okay." Xiao Zheng nodded gently and accompanied Lin Huayin to the restaurant.
The food was still delicious. It was still the familiar taste. But Xiao Zheng didn't have a good appetite.
"Drink some wine." Xiao Zheng put down the chopsticks and forced a smile.
"Okay." Lin Huayin fetched a bottle of Maotai.
Only Du Kang could relieve his worries. At this moment, perhaps what Xiao Zheng needed most was white wine.
Lin Huayin poured a full glass for Xiao Zheng. Then she poured a full glass for herself. Then she picked up the glass and said, "No matter who you toast to. I toast to you. "
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. Then he raised his head and drank.
"Again." Xiao Zheng put down the empty glass.
Lin Huayin didn't hesitate and filled Xiao Zheng's glass.
The two of them were like best friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. One glass after another. They didn't even have a bite of the food. They drank a total of three bottles.
Xiao Zheng had two bottles. Lin Huayin had one bottle.
According to Xiao Zheng's alcohol tolerance, two bottles of Maotai were not enough to make him unconscious. But maybe it was not the alcohol that intoxicated him. Xiao Zheng needed a sleep without any burden.
For the past few days, his nerves had been stretched too thin. He urgently needed a high-quality sleep.
According to Lin Huayin's alcohol tolerance. She drank a bottle of Maotai in a hurry. She should be on the verge of collapse. But maybe she was worried about Xiao Zheng. She managed to stay sober enough.
She helped Xiao Zheng go upstairs and helped him lie down. Then she tucked him in. When she was about to get up, Xiao Zheng grabbed her.
"Don't go …" Xiao Zheng said with the smell of alcohol. "Stay with me."
"Okay. I won't go. "Lin Huayin tightened the quilt and lay down next to Xiao Zheng.
"I killed them …"
There were no outsiders. Xiao Zheng's emotions seemed to explode in an instant.
"It's not you," Lin Huayin said softly. "But you regained their dignity for them."
"If it wasn't for me —" Xiao Zheng said with a lisp. "Who else could it be? If I gave the order to kill, the casualties would at least be reduced by half. "
"You wouldn't give the order. No one would give the order. "Lin Huayin knew the ins and outs of the incident. "What you did was a choice that everyone would have made. You can't be blamed. "
"But I'm their leader …" Xiao Zheng's voice gradually weakened.
There was a huge burden buried in his heart.
But in the army, in the base, he couldn't talk to anyone. If even he collapsed, how could this team return to the country in one piece?
All the burdens were on his shoulders.
Anyone could collapse, but he couldn't.
This was the responsibility that he had to bear as the leader.
"Old Lin …"
Xiao Zheng's muddled voice rang in his ears.
"Hmm?" Lin Huayin looked up slightly and stared at the side of Xiao Zheng's face with her beautiful eyes.
"Do I still deserve your love like this?" Xiao Zheng asked subconsciously. His mind was already muddled.
"Yes."
Lin Huayin said calmly, "If you don't deserve my love like this, who deserves it?"
…
He slept all the way until the sun rose.
When Xiao Zheng woke up, Lin Huayin was nowhere to be found.
After washing up, Xiao Zheng went downstairs and saw the breakfast that Lin Huayin left in the dining room. It was sumptuous and delicious.
Last night, he unknowingly vented his emotions. Xiao Zheng's mood was much better. At least it was within his control.
He turned on the TV while eating breakfast.
It was the Beijing Financial Channel.
Because of Lin Huayin's preference, Xiao Zheng also liked to watch financial news.
Putting down the remote control, Xiao Zheng took a sip of milk and tried to relax.
But after a few seconds, the female anchor showed a professional smile and said, "Next is a live broadcast. The interviewee is Miss Lin Huayin, a famous businessman in Beijing … "
The scene changed and a familiar image appeared on the screen.
It was Old Lin's office.
And Old Lin, who never accepted interviews, was sitting on the office chair and smiling at the camera.
A smile that could charm a hundred people. Six palaces were colorless.
