Section 1 Qingxing
The Logistics Courtyard is the first-class leisure place in Nata Mountain Base. It is located in a remote area and has a quiet environment with few pedestrians passing by.
At this moment, Lang Hua and a girl were standing under the tung tree in the small courtyard. A delicate girl was grabbing an inexplicable green fruit and chewing it.
"I've wanted to ask for a long time." Lang Hua turned his head and looked at her, "Aren't you sad?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaowen blinked, "It's not sour at all. Why do you ask like that?"
"Ah? I thought...well." Before Lang Hua could finish his sentence, the other party raised his hand and stuffed half an apricot into his mouth.
This... was just bitten? Isn’t this indirect... No, it’s so sour!
Suddenly, a sour and bitter taste rushed into his head. Lang Hua felt that the sides of his tongue were extremely astringent, and his eyes couldn't help but narrowed tightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Qin Xiaowen in front of her. Her eyes were as curved as crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth were turned up in a smile, like a little fox.
"I lied to you." The little fox didn't admit it.
"Okay," Lang Hua grinned, showing his strong white teeth, "Then I have to give you some color to see."
"Yeah! Help..."
The fox cub was so close that he couldn't escape the hunter's noose.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiaowen was tightly trapped by the "lasso", hooping her arms and unable to move.
This powerful "lasso" is none other than the arms of Second Lieutenant Lang Hua.
Her body was a little stiff for a moment, and then she slowly relaxed, resting most of her weight on the broad arms.
The chest behind her felt warm to the touch and the muscles were as hard as a stone. Qin Xiaowen's cheeks couldn't help but reflect a light blush.
"Why?" Lang Hua asked casually.
"When I was a kid in my old house in the mountains, there weren't many people who cared about us. We were greedy to eat whatever we caught."
"Oh? What are they?" Lang Hua was curious.
This person was probably unconscious, but as Su Zihe's words fell, Qin Xiaowen, as the "victim", felt a warm breath coming from behind her ears.
The itchy feeling makes the scalp feel slightly numb. Qin Xiaowen twisted her body slightly, and then became quiet again after a moment.
"What are they?" She raised her eyes and recalled, "There are apricots, big downy peaches, grasshoppers, and cute rabbits."
Lang Hua was stunned for a moment: "Then you... are really cruel."
"No way, these are delicious. Especially the roasted rabbit..." Qin Xiaowen defended while swallowing her saliva.
Lang Hua was a little speechless and just said: "Apricots are also delicious? They are green and small."
"It has a unique flavor, I think." She rolled her eyes and tilted her head and said, "Hey, I can take sour food so well, maybe I will be very jealous in the future."
"It's useless." Lang Hua pretended to sigh, "Who makes me only have you in my heart."
"Hey. I don't care, I will definitely keep a close eye on you."
Lang Hua thought for a moment and said, "But it's better to eat less sour apricots, as they may be prone to indigestion."
"Humph." Qin Xiaowen didn't care.
Lang Hua smiled when he saw this and added: "Apricot acid corrodes the teeth, and the teeth will become bad. And... you won't grow taller."
"Ah? Then I don't want it." Qin Xiaowen was shocked and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"By the way, do you want to try my craft?" Lang Hua suggested, "Ice-soaked apricot soup, mixed with rock sugar. It can be refrigerated after cooking. When you want to eat, just scoop out the apricots and juice inside."
"Did Qingxing make it?" Qin Xiaowen asked.
"Yes. The apricot soup made from sour apricots will not be sour when eaten. It is sour and sweet, and the original apricot flavor is retained. I think you will like it."
She was obviously moved and asked thoughtfully: "Will it be sweet?"
"Of course it's sweet."
Lang Hua put his mouth close to the other person's earlobe, and his gentle breath almost made her collapse to the ground.
He said: "It's sweet. Just like you, so sweet."
Section 2 Moonlight Night
It was already seven years after the Cataclysm, and the distance from that afternoon three years ago had already exceeded the One Thousand and One Nights.
But Lang Hua still remembers every minute, every second, and every detail.
Half a year ago, Lang Hua received an order from the military region and set off immediately to assist his comrades who were fighting hard in the eastern theater of Huaibei Province.
I was too hasty before leaving and only had one short meeting with Qin Xiaowen.
It had been too long, Lang Hua was in the midst of a war and was preoccupied with everything, and his whole head was in a mess.
It wasn't that he couldn't remember what Qin Xiaowen wore, what she said, and what actions she did that day. He was doubting the authenticity of all details and aspects in his memory.
It has been more than half a year since the day he parted with Qin Xiaowen. After Lang Hua defeated the puppet army in the Huaibei Province Cooperative Company, he did not return to the peaceful place of Nata Mountain as promised.
The end of the year is coming soon. The retreat of the Star Thief army is completely unreasonable and very sudden. The military region speculates that the other party may be planning a bigger move.
Company Commander Li Yishan also found him a few days ago, and at the instruction of Yang Zhenghua, appointed Lang Hua as an acting battalion commander. So Lang Hua's men brought a group of newly recruited "miscellaneous soldiers" for training and assumed the virtual title of captain.
The sun is warm in winter and the temperature on the training ground is suitable. Lang Hua could tell that the newly recruited "miscellaneous soldiers" had solid basic skills and good skills, and they should be a little arrogant.
But for some reason, as soon as he looked over, they immediately shrank like rabbits...
With such a soft temper, Lang Hua sometimes worries - can he still complete the troop training task assigned to him by Commander Yang?
But he had few other tricks, so he could only unilaterally increase the training intensity again and again, and then stare at these people without saying a word and practice over and over again.
…
Compared with the meeting before leaving a few months ago, Lang Hua was more impressed by that afternoon three years ago. No matter every detail, or every mood of mine and hers.
But sometimes he felt that only the battlefield in front of him was the most real. Whether it was the warm touch in my arms at that time, or the scent of my hair, or those gentle words, could it be possible that it was a mirror image?
Maybe he was just too tired, and his mood was ups and downs on the eve of the battle, and he was not stable enough.
He heard that last month, Miss Qin's family escaped despite the family's obstruction, but was eventually captured and detained by the family.
He is just a soldier with a gun, a middle-level ability user who can be seen everywhere.
He knew that the letters he squeezed in between life and death would never enter the door of the Qin family's mansion; he also knew that the messages he tried to send from the boudoir of the high house would never reach his ears.
But he still wants to write, think, and pursue.
Because he remembered that under the same moonlit night three years ago, Qin Xiaowen grabbed his sleeve and said: "Only Alang, you treat me as Qin Xiaowen. In their eyes, I am just a "daughter of the Qin family" wearing a dress. Fragile porcelain vase for coat.”
He remembered that there was a goose-yellow full moon when he confessed, and he held a large handful of wild flowers in his hand on the forest grass. The other party smiled happily, but his eyes never left him.
Chen Xinyan laughed at herself for being so distracted after the date that she could only giggle. But he knew that behind the scenes, Chen Xinyan was pulling the strings and withstanding some of the pressure from the Qin family's old residence.
He always does. Lang Hua always remembers many trivial things in some unrelated situations.
Including the time when Qin Xiaowen was drunk, her face was red and she was jumping up and down; including the two people feeding an orange kitten by the forest many times; including Zhang Cheng patting him after he and Qin Xiaowen made a private decision for life. The shoulder said something - "pretty good".
Yes, it's pretty good.
The stars are shining high and the night is long.
Captain Lang Hua stood up straight in the cold wind and looked towards the deep forest mountains somewhere in the northwest.
