On the day Jiang Minghao enlisted in the army, several people went to the station to see him off.
He was wearing a military green short shirt, and his hair was shaved even shorter, sticking hard to his scalp. Others were touching scenes of family members surrounded by each other, hugging each other and crying.
There were only a few of them, standing quietly, and no one spoke first.
Jiang Minghao was holding the uniformly issued travel bag in his hand and looked at a few people and smiled: "If you want to see me off, be happy and don't cry all over."
"Brother Hao." Pei Shuo stepped forward, hugged him, and patted his shoulder, "Take care!"
Jiang Minghao was stunned for a moment, then hugged back with one hand, "Thank you."
After Pei Shuo let go of him, Tang Zi also stepped forward to hug him and said the same thing as Pei Shuo. Jiang Minghao glanced at Tang Mi, who kept his head lowered, and whispered in Tang Zi's ear: "Tang Mi... take good care of her."
Tang Zi smiled and said before letting go of him: "She is my sister, don't worry."
Lu Zhinian and Jiang Minghao were both private people. He walked up to him without hugging him, but touched his shoulder with his fist: "Take care of yourself."
Jiang Minghao smiled and glanced at Jiang Suichu; "Protect her and don't let anyone bully her again."
In fact, he knew how important Jiang Suchu was to Lu Zhinian, and Lu Zhinian would do these things even if he didn't say them.
Lu Zhinian looked at him and nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Jiang Suchu stood with Tang Mi. She twitched the corners of her mouth, but found that she couldn't smile. Tang Mi's hand was grasped tightly. She looked over and saw Tang Mi's eyes were lowered and her eyes were crimson.
"Tangtang." Jiang Suchu took her hand and called her gently.
Tang Mi took a breath, raised her eyes and smiled at her, "I...it's okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tear fell out.
Jiang Suchu pursed his lower lip and his eyes turned red. She looked at Jiang Minghao, and he was also looking here.
The moment Jiang Suchu looked at him, he smiled lightly at her.
The moment she saw him smiling, Jiang Suchu couldn't control himself anymore, and tears suddenly streaked down his cheeks.
"Brother..." Her voice trembled. She obviously wanted to laugh, but she cried as soon as she opened her mouth.
She raised her hands to cover her eyes, threw her head back and sobbed.
Lu Zhinian stood next to her, placing his palms on her back and shoulder blades, gently stroking her and silently comforting her.
Jiang Minghao suppressed his emotions, stepped forward and rubbed her head: "Jiang Suichu, it was agreed. Let's meet at the top."
"Yes." Jiang Suchu nodded vigorously, wiped away the tears on his face, smiled as much as possible and said to him, "You must! You must! You must be safe!"
She choked with sobs and urged him hard.
"Okay..." Jiang Minghao smiled pretending to be relaxed, "You too, Jiang Suichu."
It must be safe and sound!
The whistle sounded and it was time to return to the team.
Jiang Minghao looked at Tang Mi, who kept her head lowered. She never raised her head to look at him.
"Tang Xiaomi." His Adam's apple rolled and he called her.
"Well..." Tang Mi bit her lip and slowly raised her head to look at him.
Her face was covered in tears, and there were a few teardrops hanging on her chin.
Lu Zhinian gently patted Jiang Suichu's back and whispered, "Let's go there first."
"Yes." Jiang Suichu nodded and glanced at Jiang Minghao and Tang Mi.
Pei Shuo and Lu Zhinian looked at each other and walked a few steps to the side with Jiang Suchu.
Tang Zi glanced at his sister, and took out a few tissues from his pocket and stuffed them into her hands with some distress, "Stop crying, I'm waiting for you over there."
Tang Mi held the tissue in her hand, bit her lip and whispered, "Oh..."
They left the last time to the two of them.
Jiang Minghao walked forward and stood in front of her, his voice a little hoarse, "Tang Xiaomi."
Tang Mi raised her eyes to look at him, with tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry." He raised his hand to wipe away the tears hanging on her chin.
"Well..." She nodded obediently, but tears still kept flowing.
Jiang Minghao reluctantly put down the bag he was carrying, stepped forward and took her into his arms.
Tang Mi grabbed the hem of his clothes, put her forehead on his shoulder and couldn't help crying anymore, "Jiang Minghao, I... I miss you. What should I do?"
Jiang Minghao's eyes were slightly red, and he put his palm on the back of her head, "Tang Mi, we agreed."
It was agreed that we would face the next four years in the most natural way.
Don't lose your original life because of each other.
He rubbed her head and whispered in her ear: "Study well, live well, and take good care of yourself."
"Okay." Tang Mi nodded in his arms, her tears moistening the fabric of his chest.
The order to assemble sounded again and he had to go.
He leaned forward slightly and hugged her harder.
Then let go.
He took a step back, stood up straight, and gave her a military salute.
Tang Mi smiled and cried, watching him turn around and move further and further away from her while carrying the bag.
"Tangtang." Jiang Suchu stepped forward and hugged her.
"Sui Sui." Tang Mi hugged Jiang Suichu, buried her head on her shoulder and cried.
Jiang Suichu also shed tears, but still suppressed his emotions and touched her head to comfort her, "Don't cry Tangtang."
At the farewell station, there is no shortage of people crying.
Jiang Suichu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and raised his head to prevent tears from falling again.
After she returned to Muyang Town and fell into the water, she was rescued by him and became his sister. During the years when the two of them grew up together, he had already become an indispensable part of her life.
She never thought that one day the two of them would be separated for a long time. He would go to a place that was completely unfamiliar to her, and she would have no way of knowing his safety or keeping him company.
She had always thought that if fate did not favor them, at least they would still have each other.
At least they will grow up pulling each other.
But today she realized that the first thing to do when growing up is to learn to say goodbye.
Say goodbye to each other and become better people!
After Jiang Minghao left, life seemed to be no different. Time keeps going in circles, and the locust flowers in the school bloom densely and then fall to the ground.
The sun sets and rises, the river ebbs and flows. A thin mist rose from the breakfast stall in front of the school, and the classroom windows were covered with a layer of white mist. After the sun rose, it condensed into droplets and slid down into streaks of water.
The exam red list in the Cultural Square keeps changing, and Jiang Suchu moves towards her goal again and again.
After she finally caught up with Lu Zhinian, Tang Mi and Tang Zi were leaving.
She once again stood in the farewell position to bid farewell to her good friend.
Lu Zhinian, Pei Shuo and Tang Zi looked helplessly at Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi who were hugging each other reluctantly.
Pei Shuo: "Oh, that's enough for you two. It's not like we can't see each other again."
Tang Zi glanced at Jiang Suichu, looked a little uncomfortable and said, "Yes, we... keep in touch."
He smiled and said, "Jiang Suichu, if you really want to...Tang Xiaomi, just ask Anian to bring you to England to see her."
Tang Mi glared at him: "I can also fly back to see Suisui. The college entrance examination is about to take place. She has no time to fly to the UK."
She hugged Jiang Suichu again and said to her in her ear: "Suisui, I believe you will become a great diplomatic translator."
Jiang Suichu hugged her back with red eyes: "You too, Tangtang, you will definitely become the most dazzling dancer on the stage."
She has always believed that Tang Xiaomi, as warm as the sun, is worthy of all the good things in the world.
The airport announcement rang, urging departure.
Tang Zi waved to several people: "Let's go."
At the end of the day, even though we knew we would see each other again and could keep in touch, the feeling of separation still emerged.
Pei Shuo went up and hooked Tang Zi's shoulder: "Brother, when you go abroad, don't waste your studies just thinking about picking up foreign girls. It will make me lose face to China."
Tang Zi pushed his arm away and said, "Get out of here, uncle."
Lu Zhinian looked at the two of them and smiled lightly. He went up and stretched out his hand, and Tang Zi shook it with him in a tacit understanding.
"Keep in touch." Lu Zhinian used force on his hand.
Tang Zi smiled, patted his arm with the other hand, and asked him, "Do you really regret it?"
In fact, Lu Zhinian had already received an admission notice from an Ivy League school in the United States, but he refused.
Only he knew about this, not even Pei Shuo.
Lu Zhinian glanced at Jiang Suichu not far away from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "She is more worthy."
The computer science major of University A is one of the top majors in the country, and the project he is currently working on is also guided by professors of University A. The project has just made new progress, and it is actually the most correct choice for him to stay in the country at this moment. As for the United States, there will still be opportunities for further studies in the future, so there is no rush now.
He answered affirmatively. Tang Zi paused, lowered his head and smiled sadly.
After all, he could not be like Lu Zhinian, who resolutely gave up the originally planned path for one person.
But he is Lu Zhinian, and he does have that confidence.
He believed that even in University A, Lu Zhinian would achieve what he wanted.
After seeing the two people off, the three of them stood in the crowded airport lobby, not knowing what to do for a while.
Pei Shuo sighed and looked at the two of them: "Come back, us."
"Yeah." Lu Zhinian nodded and looked sideways at Jiang Suchu, "Let's go home."
Jiang Suchu took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the emotion of parting, and smiled at him: "Okay."
As soon as she turned around and took a step forward, a child ran into her arms.
The little boy looks about five or six years old and a little fat. Jiang Suchu staggered backwards after being hit. Fortunately, Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo caught her in time so she didn't fall. But the little boy sat down on the ground.
Lu Zhinian frowned and held her shoulders, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Suchu shook his head, "I'm fine."
The little boy fell to the ground but did not cry. It's just that maybe I wore too much in winter and couldn't get up for a while.
"Brother, are you hurt from the fall?" Jiang Suchu knelt down and tried to pick him up, but she found that she couldn't hold him at all.
She glanced at Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo, holding back a smile.
Lu Zhinian smiled, knelt down and picked up the little boy.
It was a little hot inside the airport, and the little boy's chubby face was red. He looked at the three of them with some embarrassment: "Thank you, brother and sister."
Pei Shuo looked at the chubby boy, feeling like he had seen himself as a child, and couldn't help but feel more close to him, "The kid is quite polite."
Lu Zhinian glanced at him: "I'm more polite than you."
If you know someone well, call them a kid.
Pei Shuo: "…….."
The little boy was indeed very polite. Jiang Suichu bent down and rubbed his head, "Kid, is there any pain from the fall?"
He was running a little fast just now. He bumped into her and sat down on the ground. I don't know if he hit anything?
The little boy shook his head, blinked his big round eyes, looked at Jiang Suchu and said, "Sister, I seem to know you."
"Huh?" Jiang Suichu was stunned for a moment and said a little amused, "Really? Then have we met somewhere?"
The little boy pouted as if he was seriously thinking about it, then shook his head, "I can't remember."
Lu Zhinian put one hand on his knees and bent down to look at the little boy: "Then you must have mistaken the person."
"Xiaoran!"
"Why are you running around?"
Suddenly a girl in a white down jacket ran over, angrily pulled the little boy's arm and pulled him to her side.
The little boy staggered as he was pulled away. As if he was a little afraid of the girl, he whispered, "Sister."
The girl who was called sister glared at him mercilessly, "I asked you to stop running around because you don't understand, right?"
The little boy stood by the side aggrievedly and whispered: "I'm sorry, sister."
Jiang Suchu glanced at the little boy and felt that he was a little pitiful for being yelled at. But she was an outsider after all, so it was difficult to say anything.
The girl calmed down and her eyes clearly paused when she looked at the three of them.
"you….."
Jiang Suchu said quickly: "I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into him just now."
The little boy's voice was very low, but he still stood up and said, "No, I bumped into this sister."
The girl glanced at Jiang Suchu, narrowed her eyes, and then smiled, "I'm sorry."
For some reason, Jiang Suchu felt that her tone was a little strange.
She was stunned for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter."
Lu Zhinian turned his head and glanced at the girl, frowned slightly and stood forward. He took Jiang Suchu's arm and led her back.
"Since there's nothing wrong, let's leave first." As he said this, he winked at Pei Shuo, then pulled Jiang Suchu and turned around to leave.
"Oh...oh..." Pei Shuo was still a little confused, scratched his head and quickly followed the two of them.
After walking for a while, Pei Shuo looked back and found that the girl seemed to still be looking at them.
He turned back, walked to Jiang Suchu, and whispered to the two of them: "Why does this woman feel so weird?"
Jiang Suchu looked at him and said, "You feel a little strange too?"
Pei Shuo opened his eyes wide and nodded, "Yeah!"
As he said this, he glanced at Lu Zhinian and said hesitantly, "A-Nian, it's not like you caused the peach blossom debt somewhere."
When Lu Zhinian stepped forward to block Jiang Suichu just now, he must have felt guilty.
Jiang Suchu paused and turned to look at Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at her, "Don't listen to his nonsense! It must be his own."
Pei Shuo: "...I don't even know her, okay!"
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth coldly and chuckled: "Can you count how many girlfriends you have had? It's not impossible to forget what a person looks like."
Pei Shuo: "…………."
Pei Shuo: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I have so many girlfriends?"
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows, "Oh~ tell me how many times you have broken up this year."
Pei Shuo choked, did a quick calculation in his mind, and then chose to shut up.
Jiang Suchu laughed when he heard the two bickering. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She turned back and looked at the place before that. The little boy and the girl were no longer there.
Just as she turned back, her eyes accidentally caught the little boy's back in the crowded airport hall.
He was holding a woman wearing a woolen coat. The woman had long, shiny black hair. Just looking at her back makes people think she must be a very gentle person.
Jiang Suchu's steps faltered for a moment, and he kept looking at the woman's back until she disappeared at the airport exit on the other side.
Lu Zhinian noticed something strange about her and looked in the direction she was looking, "What are you looking at?"
"Ah?" Jiang Suchu came back to his senses, his eyelashes trembled, and he smiled, "No... I didn't see anything."
Maybe she saw it wrong.
Lu Zhinian frowned and looked in that direction again.
There were strangers coming and going.
Jiang Suichu lowered his eyes and stared at the ground, laughed at himself, then raised his head to look at the two of them.
"Come on, let's go home."
go home.
