Chapter 40
Chapter 39 Promotion ceremony
At the recruit welcoming ceremony, Wu Qiao met people who had never thought about it.
Su Yiqing!
He has been a good friend of junior high school and high school for six years.
Wu Qiao looked at his friend in surprise.
Su Yiqing went to the military academy, Wu Qiao naturally knew it, although Su Yiqing’s personality of running a train with his mouthful is far from the soldier in Wu Qiao’s impression.
Wu Qiao has always felt that the most suitable profession for him should be an actor. After all, his acting skills are indeed not inferior to that of the movie king, and he has also applied this specialty to the fullest. Every time he is called sick, he can scare the class every time he skips class. People here, Wu Qiao was also very worried about his physical condition at first, but after a long time he understood that the other party was just pretending.
Compared to others who have to be punished for making mistakes, Su Yiqing can turn bad luck every time. Wu Qiao once asked him how he did this, and Su Yiqing mysteriously said at the time that he had a clever plan. Later, on Wu Qiao’s sixteenth birthday, Su Yiqing gave him a small bag with ten crooked words written on the fabric of the bag, “What if I don’t want to be punished after making a mistake,” and told Wu Qiao that there was his trick in the small bag. It can be taken apart at a critical moment. Two months later, when Wu Qiao was forced to ask for the tips for taking her sister to climb a barren mountain and causing her sister to fall on a big horse, he found that there were only four words on the tips: “Make up an excuse.” Wu Qiao couldn’t make it up, but was beaten by his parents. Only then did he realize that Su Yiqing was cheated. Although, afterwards, Su Yiqing refused to admit that he was teasing Wu Qiao, and insisted that this trick was very useful. Every time I can make up a pathetic and compelling reason for the elders to understand and feel distressed, but Wu Qiao himself doesn’t know how to use it.
Then, Wu Qiao saw Ji Yao in the crowd again.
Ji Yao is Su Yiqing’s lover, a lover who started in his second year of high school.
To say that this love affair also began with a sinful fate.
Ji Yao is the school grass of their high school, and at the same time a flower of kaolin. The eyebrows seem to come from ink painting, but there is a sense of inaccessibility. Everyone likes to look at his face, but when they meet him on the road, they will deliberately walk around him, because they think he is too cold, and even feel embarrassed to say hello to him, but silence is not good, so just don’t Go around him.
Wu Qiao knew that there were many people who admired him, and none of them dared to confess.
Su Yiqing didn’t know Ji Yao at all. Once a group of friends made a mess, and the person who lost the guessing had to do any prank proposed by others. At that time, I didn’t know who it was that I asked Su Yiqing to confess to Ji Yao, and he had to be emotional and tearful, so that Ji Yao felt that there was no second person in this world who loved him so much except for Su Yiqing. Even if Ji Yao doesn’t believe it, Su Yiqing loses. It doesn’t matter if Su Yiqing wants to go. Anyway, the other party doesn’t know him, and he is rejected as a mental illness at best. It’s better than making people laugh at him and dare not even do his best “liar”. The result of that “confession” was the same as he thought. However, from that day on, Su Yiqing found that Ji Yao seemed to pay special attention to him, and Ji Yao’s gaze would always stay on him for a while after meeting him. Soon after, Wu Qiao remembered that it was about the end of the first year of high school. Su Yiqing once saw a group of gangsters pulling Ji Yao on the way home from school. Ji Yao’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Yiqing passing by, and he kept staring at him asking for help. Originally, Su Yiqing thought that the other party was too many and they couldn’t control it at all, but Ji Yao’s expression made Su Yiqing suddenly remember that he should love that person so much that he didn’t want his life, so he immediately hesitated about running away, and didn’t want to make evil. The beautiful person doubted his life. After struggling a lot, he bit his head and went to save him. In the end, he was beaten and stayed in the hospital for three days. For three days, Ji Yao visited him every day, and also helped him take notes and conveyed his homework to him. From then on, Su Yiqing couldn’t even say that he was pretending, so she had to continue to pretend to be affectionate. Fortunately, he was comfortable with this and was not very painful. Su Yiqing did not expect that he really fell in love with each other while pretending to be, and Ji Yao suddenly agreed to him when he was halfway through the second year of high school. Wu Qiao didn’t know what happened in the middle. After three months of formal contact, Su Yiqing finally confessed what she had deceived him. Ji Yao slapped him a few times. At that time, Su Yiqing was so sad that he had not gone to school for a month. He waited until after graduating from high school. nod.
Wu Qiao once told this story to Ya Jiu, but he didn’t say the specific name. Ya Jiu’s eyes kept shining when he heard it, and he kept asking “what’s next” and “what’s next”, and finally said with emotion that it was more **** than a TV show.
Ya Jiu always felt that it was too simple to meet Long Yuan. He just saw Long Yuan following Tan Yan and fell in love with him at first sight. There was no sense of destiny, and it seemed not so wonderful.
“However,” Ya Jiu sighed every time he mentioned it, “Who makes me like Long Yuan?”
The welcome ceremony for recruits is the same as last year.
Darrell’s words are similar to the past.
The person who spoke as the recruit’s representative was Su Yiqing.
He said: “When I was young, I asked my mother, when peace will come, and I hate all of this! My mother said at the time, you will get used to it. But I can’t agree-why do you want to get used to it? The sin of suffering is not normal at all. We should not suffer it, we must reject it! From that day on, I decided to myself, I must not be numb, what I should do to save everyone and let them experience the real Happiness! This dream has been burning in my heart, and accompanied me through my childhood, elementary school, middle school, and university. Everyone around me on the way of growing up has heard of my story–”
Below Wu Qiao was stunned.
What is Su Yiqing talking about? ! Does he dare to lie on this occasion? !
At that time, Su Yiqing didn’t even want to report to the military academy, what he always wanted to learn was art! However, art tuition was high, and his parents failed to invest that year and the family was impoverished overnight. This was the only way to enroll in a military academy where they could study for free. Su Yiqing was extremely reluctant at the time.
Now, he can say without changing his face that he has regarded joining the army as a dream since he was a child…
After Su Yiqing’s speech was over, several promotion ceremonies began, including Wu Qiao’s promotion, of course.
Wu Qiao suddenly felt that his fate was a bit strange.
Su Yiqing went to the military school he wanted to go to. Now his position is a new captain, and so many things have happened to him in the past four years. By mistake, he is already a colonel.
Colonel…
Wu Qiao thought, and couldn’t help but feel more beautiful in his heart.
When taking the order on stage, Wu Qiao heard someone below whispered “Dumplings…”
“…” Now he regrets using the dumpling as a metaphor, because after confirming his promotion, Wu Qiao heard someone talking about him calling him “Captain Dumpling”, and even once a comrade in arms accidentally called out in person.
The order was signed by a general who Wu Qiao had never seen before, but he did not come here to issue it. Darrell read out all the promotion orders and issued them directly.
Wu Qiao is the representative again.
“Let’s talk about it.” In fact, Darrell really likes him very much. “Tell me, why are you rushing in front every time?”
“……Ok?”
“Why do you, put aside the nature of survival, risking your life to rush forward?”
In Darrell’s mind, Wu Qiao is good at giving speeches, so he is often asked to “talk about it.” What Darrell didn’t know was that Wu Qiao was because of his favorite reading of celebrity biographies.
“Um…” Wu Qiao thought for a while, “I think, the most important thing is to firmly believe that what you are doing is correct, that you are fighting for all mankind, and that… the just heaven will not let you down. It will definitely benefit you at this beachhead or the next beachhead. At this point, we are very different from those who use force to satisfy selfish desires.”
After thinking about it, Wu Qiao said: “Of course, I know that it is still possible to die…but…we can’t back down because of this, because we can only win if we move forward. We all know that there are things that are worth giving everything and even life for. , Such as freedom and dignity. The children in our country are still young, still childish, full of joy for the future, we need to protect them and let them grow up happily-this ideal is my life goal, I hope to see The day it is realized, but, if necessary, I am willing to dedicate myself to this ideal. I know very well that after victory, the vigorous air will be filled with our glory, and everything we do is meaningful. .”
“…” The people below are very quiet.
Darrell once again felt that Wu Qiao was really suitable to be a general.
He began to seriously consider letting Wu Qiao take over in a few years, and after his death, continue to lead his brave soldiers.
Maybe you can do better than him…
After the results of the two ceremonies, Su Yiqing and Ji Yao walked to Wu Qiao.
“Su Yiqing! Ji Yao!” Wu Qiao couldn’t hide his joy in his tone, “Why are you two here?!”
“Because we know that you are here, we thought about running to you.” Su Yiqing was also smiling, “I wrote to Darrell directly to recommend myself, and Darrell really chose us both because you are right now. You need people. You know, the wings of the dragon are not very good now. There hasn’t been a successful event in the last six months, saying that recuperating is actually just lingering. Our base expansion is because of this, and there are rumors that we will soon cooperate with others. Several border bases cooperated to launch a general attack on that group of guys.”
“……seems like it.”
Wu Qiao also knew what Su Yiqing said.
After the “Fan Mi Li” company was found to have problems, the chief financial officer was captured. His ability is very outstanding and he is also doing financial management for the organization. After his arrest, he gave out hundreds of accounts, as well as the names of many other companies, indicating that these companies are all under the organization’s industry. Recently, in order to make money, Xianglong Wings have started to kidnap and blackmail the rich, rob banks, smuggle, and sell drugs that they did not even bother to do before.
The Imperial Army seems to plan to launch a final battle together with several units that often bomb the Serpent’s Wings base once they get certain news from the main base, including Darrell, because even if the opponent’s vitality is already severely injured, the main The base must still have a lot of advanced weapons, and it is better to have several old opponents of Xianglong Wings jointly attack.
The decisive battle…is it coming…
Over there, Su Yiqing said again: “Wu Qiao…you are also quite famous now, and many people have heard of you.”
“is it……”
“Yes.” Su Yiqing said, “I was eliminated by the military academy as genetic waste, but now they have killed 328 people alone. Everyone wants to know what’s going on.”
“What’s going on… I don’t understand either.”
“As far as I see, according to the information I have received, the reason why you are so successful is because you adopted my strategy of ‘blind the fuck’!”
Wu Qiao: “…”
In fact, he has often wondered recently why he was genetically useless.
“Don’t think so much, that’s not the point.” Su Yiqing gave Wu Qiao a hug, “The point is that we reunited!”
“…Yes.” Wu Qiao lowered his eyes. “We used to stay together…Unfortunately, Zhongguang is no longer there.”
“I know…” Su Yiqing said, “I saw his name on the list of being awarded the Medal of Courage.”
“……Ok.”
Although a bit sentimental, Wu Qiao was very, very happy to see Su Yiqing and Ji Yao.
After Sheng Chongguang’s death, he has been a little lonely. Many of his comrades are very good. They are his new friends, but they are a little different from his old friends.
The arrival of Su Yiqing and Ji Yao gave Wu Qiao a long-lost and familiar feeling. They filled a lot of the empty feeling in Wu Qiao’s heart after Sheng Zhongguang’s death.
They have been classmates for six years, have a lot of common memories, know each other’s growth process, and understand each other very well.
…
There are so many good things today…
Promoted to colonel, met an old man… Wu Qiao went back humming all the way.
When he arrived in his dormitory, he kept looking left and right in front of the mirror, reluctant to change his uniform.
Promoted…
He is already a colonel.
After thinking about it, Wu Qiao tried to connect with Yan Yan. He wanted to tell the other party that the ceremony was over and that he was no longer the former lieutenant colonel.
He seemed eager to prove himself to the other side.
For a period of time, Wu Qiao always wondered why Tan Yan would say that kind of thing that day.
In the end, I felt that it could only be understood as that the gap between the two was too big, and Tan Yan felt that as long as he wanted to go, he should be happy.
Every time I think about this, Wu Qiao feels very uncomfortable.
Now, he wanted Tan Yan to know that he was not that bad.
Wu Qiao had a naive thought in his heart, that is, if he slowly grows stronger, shortens the distance between the two or even surpasses him, will the other person stop thinking that way, will he really like him? Up?
Wu Qiao never knew that he would bet on this kind of anger in the past.
Why do you want the other party to really like him?
What if you really like him?
At the very beginning, Tan Yan’s phrase “that waste wood? Get out of my way” was much more excessive than this time, and it was much more insulting, but he never felt this way, and never wanted the other party to really like him. .
At that time, because he didn’t take it seriously. For him, it doesn’t matter if an admiral who is far away and has nothing to do with him hates him, anyway, even people around him hate him.
What a strange change…
I was thinking about it, and the communication was connected.
“Admiral…” Wu Qiao said, “The promotion ceremony is over. I am now a famous colonel.”
“Congratulations.” Tan Yan smiled dazzlingly.
For some reason, Wu Qiao added another sentence: “I am only twenty-two years old now.” It’s so strange… Wu Qiao thought again, why he always wanted to compare with Tan Yan recently? In the past, he just worshipped the other side purely, and never thought about when he could stand shoulder to shoulder.
“I know.” Tan Yan said, “the same age as when I became a colonel.”
“…Hmm.” Wu Qiao knew that Tan Yan graduated from military academy at the age of twenty. He was also officially promoted to the military at the age of twenty-one. He was promoted for the first time a year later. From then on, his position was like sitting on a rocket.
However, the road before the two people can be said to be very different.
Tan Yan’s genetic test result was completely shocked by the school, and everyone was envied along the way, but Wu Qiao was turned away because of genetic waste, and he came to this step by himself.
It is precisely because of this strong contrast that Tan Yan feels that the other party is different, a very strange person different from him.
It turns out… Can you keep pace with yourself just by hard work?
After chatting for a while, Wu Qiao hesitantly asked: “That…Admiral…Today, there is news about you. I wonder if you saw it…”
“I saw it.” Tan Yan’s face turned black for an instant.
Wu Qiao understood why Tan Yan suddenly black face, because that news is really not a good thing.
According to the report, a five-star general named T in the Empire had fun in a certain place but did not give money.
There are two five-star generals in the empire, Sean’s last name is Evans, starting with the letter E, and it is self-evident who the general name is T.
Wu Qiao felt that this matter was a bit weird, so he wanted to ask Tan Yan personally-if this matter was true, he would feel a little disappointed, disappointed in the other’s feelings and concepts, and disappointed in the other’s behavior.
“So…”
“It’s not me in the news!” Tan Yan was so angry that he was about to explode when he mentioned this. “It’s the fake guy!”
“…Oh.” It turned out to be like this-the counterfeit general did it.
“He violated the regulations, went out privately, ran to a messy shop, and there were beauties in the past to accompany him.” Tan Yan explained again, “but although it has been itchy for a long time, it was actually the first time he went, and he didn’t know. Price, he wanted to run away when he had no money! He wasn’t stupid to the end, dressed up in disguise, but he was recognized, and he was in the newspaper the next day! How long does his head grow!”
“…I’m sorry to hear this.”
Wu Qiao knows that there is a lot of controversy about this matter-some people think that the five-star admiral has done his best for the empire, and the news media should not report this kind of scandal. Others think that the five-star admiral should set an example. If you make a mistake, you should also be blamed by the people.
“…Wu Qiao.” Tan Yan calmed down and said seriously, “You believe me, I won’t go to such a place.”
“…”
“Really, Wu Qiao.” Tan Yan repeated, “I will never flirt with others, otherwise you can punish me whatever you want.”
Wu Qiao didn’t know what to say-he felt that he had no position to speak.
After considering it, Wu Qiao said, “You don’t need to guarantee anything… This kind of thing has nothing to do with me.”
“…”
Tan Yan is even more irritable.
After the last “proposal”, he also regretted it. Think about it carefully, people like Wu Qiao, naturally won’t accept anything. But the words had already been spoken, and I didn’t know how to swallow them back, so I waited for the opportunity first. After that, there would be no chance. The longer the time passed, the stranger it would be to mention it suddenly.
But now… Tan Yan felt that this could no longer go on.
I have been misunderstood, and always have to be solved.
“…Wu Qiao.”
“Huh?” Wu Qiao replied, “Yes.”
Tan Yan’s tone suddenly changed, making him nervous too.
Tan Yan froze for a while, and finally hesitated to speak: “You are a narcissistic person.”
“…Huh?” Wu Qiao didn’t understand, why Tan Yan suddenly criticized himself.
Tan Yan said again: “You like yourself very much, don’t you?”
“…I think it is.” Wu Qiao really likes himself. People like him always want to forge themselves in the best direction in his mind, and the things that “know their shortcomings but can never change them” will not happen to him. However, it was a bit embarrassing to suddenly ask him to admit this…
Over there, Tan Yan was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a few hard words, “Me too.”
“……what?”
Wu Qiao was completely stupid.
“me too”?
What does it mean?
Talk about your narcissism first, and then say he is too?
Wu Qiao was really confused about the meaning of the general for a while. After considering it for a long time, he finally answered what he thought was very appropriate: “Admiral, rely on your strength…you should be narcissistic.”
Tan Yan stared at Wu Qiao.
He didn’t understand? !
Is it necessary to say that sentence clearly?
Does he like to persecute himself so much?
Tan Yan couldn’t understand. He was not even afraid of death, so why was he so afraid of losing face in front of Wu Qiao? Why are you so afraid of embarrassment after being rejected? Why are you so afraid that you don’t even have the current intimacy?
However, this step is probably always to be taken.
Tan Yan’s heartbeat was very violent, and after a while, he finally said, “When I said’Me too,’ I mean… I like you very much too.”
Wu Qiao: “…?!”
He couldn’t turn his mind a bit.
“Yes.” Tan Yan continued, “that day… I lied.”
