Chapter 35: The feeling of heartbeat

Like two parallel railroad tracks, Zhao Jianhui never thought that one day he would have some inexplicable story with her, let alone that he would fall in love with her.

At that time, Zhao Jianhui was in his second year of high school and Li Fen was in his first year of high school. Among a group of childish faces, she was as beautiful as a swan, so outstanding.

At that time, Zhao Jianhui was still in love. When he saw Li Fen on campus, he just regarded her as a beautiful scenery. It wasn't an amazing feeling at the time, and I definitely didn't fall in love with her at first sight.

After graduating from middle school, Zhao Jianhui went to the army. In his hometown of this small town in S Province, the usual choice and the best choice for a boy who has no intention of studying after dropping out is to join the army and dedicate his youth to the great motherland for three years. , and then exchange for a relatively stable job.

But Zhao Jianhui did not go to the army just because he wanted to come back and arrange work.

That day, students from Class 2 and Class 3 of their high school were taking physical education class on the playground. Zhao Jianhui was sweating profusely from running when he was stopped by the physical education teacher and asked him if he wanted to be a soldier.

Zhao Jianhui said, "Why should I be a soldier? I still have to go to college?"

Standing next to the physical education teacher is a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, but his teeth are very white when he smiles. "Young man, I saw you were running very fast just now, and your physique is not bad. It would be a pity not to join the army. I have already asked your teacher, and your studies are also good. After you join the army, you will also have a bachelor's degree in military school. They also take care of food, housing and clothing, and also pay subsidies. Where can you find such a good thing? "

Food, housing, clothing, and subsidies are provided in addition? Is such a good thing really possible?

Perhaps it was the phrase "Food, food, housing, clothing, and subsidies are paid in addition" that moved Zhao Jianhui.

Zhao Jianhui is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. The current tuition fee is still paid by the Civil Affairs Bureau. With his conditions, even if he can get into college, the heavy burden will become a huge burden on him.

Sixteen-year-old Zhao Jianhui got excited and followed the man to the stone city where tigers and dragons were entrenched.

The Military College of International Relations, affiliated to the General Staff, is one of the key institutions of higher learning in the country. It is a comprehensive military diplomacy college that integrates command and technology, is based on foreign languages, is multi-professional, multi-level, and multi-standard. It is an international military training college. It is an important base for professionals in various fields such as relations, national defense and foreign affairs, military diplomacy, international strategic studies, foreign language teachers, military reconnaissance, technical reconnaissance, aerospace reconnaissance, and special operations command.

In this school, Zhao Jianhui eagerly learned all the knowledge he could learn. In the first two years of military school, Zhao Jianhui's life can best be described by the idiom "he was deaf to what was going on outside the window, and he only read the books of sages."

In the third year after Zhao Jianhui arrived at the military academy, he celebrated his eighteenth birthday. He will graduate in one year. He is looking forward to the day of graduation in his heart and is full of happy visions for his future life.

It was in the summer after his eighteenth birthday that Zhao Jianhui suddenly had the idea of ​​'going home to visit relatives' during the summer vacation.

The city where the military academy is located is a very famous big city in China. When he walked out of the military camp, he discovered that the city had undergone rapid changes in just over two years, with bright lights, lively entertainment, dazzling shops and those The enthusiastic and open girl has become no longer familiar to him.

No matter what, after being able to take off his military uniform for more than thirty days and enter the mortal world, Zhao Jianhui is still as happy as a dove that has been released.

Although there was nothing particularly beautiful to look forward to in his hometown, his longing for that land still made him want to return. More than ten hours of train travel and two hours of bumpy car rides brought Zhao Jianhui back to his hometown after a long absence. my hometown for three years.

Compared with what he remembered, the small town had not changed much. The streets were still the same. In the past three years, except for the dilapidated buildings beside the streets, Zhao Jianhui could hardly find anything new.

Fortunately, the nostalgia was still there. Looking at the familiar faces on the street, he felt happy and novel.

After all, this is the place where he has lived since he was a child. As for whether it was the place where he was born, Zhao Jianhui himself does not know. After walking along a familiar street for a while, Zhao Jianhui already felt like he was home.

Not far ahead is the orphanage where he grew up.

Young girls pass by on the summer street from time to time. Compared with before, their clothes have changed a lot, becoming more graceful, enchanting and colorful.

In this way, Zhao Jianhui embarked on a journey home that would change his future life.

Then——Li Fen appeared in front of him. She and another girl came from the other side.

The strange thing is that Zhao Jianhui actually recognized her at a glance. She was no longer the little girl in his memory, but had grown into a girl full of youthful energy. Her long legs under the short skirt were so beautiful. It dazzled him.

When Zhao Jianhui stared into her eyes, he found that she was also staring at him, with something other than innocence flashing in her clear eyes.

Something magical in his life shocked him. Zhao Jianhui stopped and looked at her motionless, as if he saw the most exciting thing in the world.

She also seemed to have encountered magic. She looked at Zhao Jianhui quietly. When Zhao Jianhui made the same face he made three years ago, she actually smiled at him.

"Brother, why do you look at Sister Li Fen like this? Do you have a crush on her?" Another girl who was ignored by Zhao Jianhui came over unhappily, stretched out her white hand and waved it in front of Zhao Jianhui's eyes. Pulled Zhao Jianhui from the cloud back to reality.

"Hey, you are Xiaoting. When did you come here? Why didn't I see you just now?" Following Zhao Jianhui's words, Zhao Xiaoting giggled and bent over, holding her belly. Li Fen's face was filled with red. of clouds.

At that moment, Zhao Jianhui felt that this suddenly grown-up girl, like him, had not forgotten each other deep in his heart.

With a shy face, Li Fen reached out and punched Zhao Xiaoting on the shoulder, then ran forward with a blushing face. The moment the figures intertwined, for some reason, a feeling of loss lingered in Zhao Jianhui's heart.

Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but look back, but was pleased to see that she was also looking back at him. Seeing Zhao Jianhui suddenly turning around, she looked at him in surprise, smiled again, and suddenly turned around and ran away.

When she turned around, Zhao Jianhui saw that her face turned the color of the sunset with shame.

It was that look back and smile that made Zhao Jianhui's heart feel like he was hit hard, and he was in a state of ups and downs with all kinds of feelings. Zhao Jianhui was sure that something hit his heart.

"Brother, do you like sister Li Fen?" Zhao Xiaoting is a girl who grew up with him in the orphanage. She is two years younger than Zhao Jianhui. She just took the college entrance examination this year. Since Zhao Jianhui joined the army, she and Li Fen have become inseparable. Good friends who don't talk to each other.

"Don't talk nonsense, love is not allowed in the army..."

"Gee, you think I don't know anything? That's because soldiers are not allowed to fall in love at the station. You are a college student, not a soldier. We are not asking you to find a wife at the station. Otherwise, we will wait until you graduate. I'm looking for a woman from a big city outside. She'll be cold-eyed when she sees us. How can my brothers and sisters and I go to your house? I think Sister Li Fen is pretty good. If you have that intention, I will Just talk to her."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Li Fen is in the same class as you, isn't she? She still has to go to college." Zhao Jianhui took a deep breath and said insincerely.

Zhao Xiaoting sighed: "Well, sister Li Fen didn't take the college entrance examination. She has to go out to work. She came to me today and talked about this. Brother, if it weren't for the money you sent back, I wouldn't want to take the exam. Woolen cloth."

Money, again because of money. I don’t know how many people’s futures have been delayed because they cannot afford the high tuition fees.

"Hehe, I understand. You have sister Li Fen in your heart. I'll tell her right now and let her be my sister-in-law." Zhao Xiaoting made a face at Zhao Jianhui, stuck out her tongue and ran away with a smile. . "Wait for my good news!"

The smiling face looking back kept flashing in Zhao Jianhui's mind. He regretted not calling her out at that time. Looking at her faint smile, if he had been bolder and dared to speak to her, he would definitely not have been rejected.

Zhao Jianhui never knew that the desire to see a person's soul must endure such torture. The desire to see Li Fen far exceeded the desire for anything he had ever experienced.

After being tortured all night and all morning, Zhao Jianhui finally met Li Fen again. This time, Zhao Xiaoting's big light bulb also appeared at the same time.

Zhao Jianhui suppressed his heart that was about to rush to his throat, and greeted her with a calm expression: "Hi!"

Li Fen was wearing a light yellow dress, with a ponytail on her head, and her fair face was flushed. She looked at him in surprise and whispered: "Didn't you... pass the military academy? How could you...?"

Zhao Jianhui knew the meaning of her words and said with a smile: "What's wrong? If you are admitted to the military academy, you can't find a partner at home? I always remember that I used to see you on this road almost every day. You are one of those people The most beautiful of the girls."

Li Fen lowered his head and said, "I remember you too, you made faces at me every time you saw me."

"Oh, it turns out that you have already meant that. That would be even better. Sister Li Fen, let's not stand here and find a place to sit. My legs are sore." Zhao Xiaoting deliberately made a face at Zhao Jianhui Son said.

For Zhao Jianhui, Li Fen still remembered his grimace after three years, which was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to him. He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a red bill and stuffed it into Zhao Xiaoting's hand: "Sister, take this and disappear in front of us in three seconds."

Seeing Zhao Xiaoting leave with a smile, Zhao Jianhui finally mustered up the courage: "Can you not go home for lunch? I invite you to go to the best place here."
