Please Don’t Give Up on Me

The audience was quiet for three seconds, and then fry the pan instantly. The ups and downs rushed out one after another—

"Wow, who is this lucky girl?"

"Team Lin, you are not allowed to leave unless you make it clear today~"

"You see so many beautiful little girls of us are waiting for your answer, can't you let them down?"

"Major, just tell us, is it someone we know?"

Lin Jing said coldly and flatly refused: "There is only one penalty question. I have already answered it."

"Ah... Team Lin, you are too cruel!"

"Half talk, this is about killing..."

Suddenly, sorrow was everywhere.

Sitting at the other end of the table, Qi Yue quietly cast his eyes on Lin Jing through the noisy crowd.

He looked up and drank the wine, then threw the enamel cup on the table: "Let's go."

"Eh-eh, where are you going, Team Lin? Don't you stay to watch the party?"

"I'll go on patrol. You guys have a lot of fun."

Yu Hai stood up: "Captain, don't you go to the party? Or, let me go on patrol."

He knows that Qi Yue will perform today.

Lin Jing faintly waved his hand: "No. It's rare for you to relax. I will contact you again if there is a situation."

After he finished speaking, he turned and disappeared into the night.

From beginning to end, his gaze never looked towards Qi Yue once.

******

At nine o'clock in the evening, the party started on time.

The medical staff of the Livia Medical Volunteer Team and the patients who were able to move freely gathered in front of the stage set up in the square.

Although there are no professional actors, choreography, and lighting. But the attitude of everyone going all out, the sincerity of trying to show a perfect performance, still deeply infected everyone on the scene.

What they face every day is a large number of wounded from the war zone. They have to fight against death against people under the conditions of shortage of materials and insufficient medical equipment. They also don't know when threats from the local armed forces may arise. There have been times of exhaustion, and there have been times of emotional breakdown, but no one thought about giving up. And this warm evening party gave everyone a short rest and recharge for their exhausted body and mind.

Qi Yue was also arrested before to serve as a ‘strong man’.

She used to participate in art performances when she was in the military school, but at that time, she was a StreetJazz performing with a few girls. The hot street dance performance left a deep impression on the recruits who watched the performance at that time, so that the recruits were all mixed into veterans, and they even talked about the episode.

This time, even when people who knew her thought she was going to repeat the trick, she chose to sing solo.

Singing is "Exclusive Memory" by Chen Xiaochun.

Before this, no one knew she could sing.

Even her best friend Zhao Tianxin squeezed a sweat for her.

"Can you do it? You never went out with us to sing K before. We even secretly suspected that your five tone is incomplete."

Qi Yue just smiled at this, without comment.

"It's a donkey or a horse. You'll know if you pull it out for a stroll."

So her performance scene, Yan Ran became a scene where everyone'slapped' faces.

Her voice is soft and majestic, not only the grace of a Jiangnan woman, but also the vicissitudes of life with personal characteristics. Throughout the singing process, the pitch and rhythm are all right, there is no amazing high pitch, and some are just light narratives, like an old friend telling you a story. The sound enters the ear and penetrates the eardrum directly into the person's heart.

After this night, two things became the most discussed topics after dinner in the medical camp—

Who is Team Lin's favorite?

Is Dr. Qi’s song sung for someone special?

******

While Qi Yue was removing her makeup in the background, Cheng Donglin suddenly came over.

He handed Qi Yue a cup of milk tea that was still steaming slightly.

A scent of bergamot came out.

Qi Yue lowered his head and took a sip: "Where did you find such a pure bergamot?"

She still remembered that when she went to Cheng Donglin's house for the first time as a child, his mother took out the black tea bought from Sri Lanka to entertain her. That was the first time she tasted the sweet fragrance of bergamot, and since then, she only drank milk tea and earl grey milk tea.

Cheng Donglin: "I went to the market to purchase that day and saw a merchant selling Dilmah black tea, so I bought a few boxes. I'll bring them back for you."

Qi Yue smiled: "Okay."

Cheng Donglin looked down at her, his eyes soft: "Are you free? Go out with me?"

Qi Yue nodded slightly: "Let's go."

The two moved away from the lively crowd and walked towards the outskirts of the medical camp.

As soon as he walked to the date palm grove behind the medical camp, Qi Yue saw two people kissing under the tree.

This is not the point. The point is that she knows both of them. It is Chen Chong and Zhao Tianxin.

Qi Yue stopped and pulled Cheng Dong, who hadn't noticed it, to come.

Cheng Donglin: "What's wrong?"

As soon as he spoke, the two people under the tree bounced back and looked over here...

Qi Yue was awkwardly entangled whether or not to say hello to the two of them, and saw Chen Chong daluo and beckoned to her: "Oh, sister Yue. Dr. Cheng is also here."

She was too worried. In Chen Chong's dictionary, there is probably no word ‘embarrassed’.

Instead, Zhao Tianxin smiled at Qi Yue with reddish cheeks. There was no silver three hundred taels and said: "Ahaha, you guys also come for a walk? Eat too much at night, let's come and digest."

Chen Chong glanced at Zhao Tianxin in a puzzled look, then turned to Qi Yue: "Yes, digestion. How about we?"

Qi Yue: "..."

She is not interested in being a light bulb.

Qi Yue waved his hand: "You are busy."

Then he consciously changed directions with Cheng Donglin and went to the observation deck...

After a while, Cheng Donglin suddenly laughed ‘pouch’: "You two friends are very good friends."

Qi Yue: "No. Two tricks."

Cheng Donglin sighed: "I feel that every time I come to see you, I am either busy or busy, and I haven't spoken properly."

Qi Yue: "This isn't it, it's a special situation. You are too busy too."

Cheng Donglin smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to join this line. To say it, it's a coincidence."

Qi Yue: "Yes. I remember you said when you were a kid that you wanted to be an astronaut."

Cheng Donglin: "The dream of children at that time was probably either a scientist or an astronaut."

Qi Yue: "Ha, that's true. I just wanted to be a scientist."

Cheng Donglin blinked at her: "Doctors are also considered half scientists. Biological sciences."

Qi Yue: "Haha..."

She and Cheng Donglin met at a young age and grew up together, until the Cheng Donglin family suddenly moved abroad when they were in junior high school, and since then they have lost contact.

After such a long time, it is impossible to say that there is no strangeness, but more, it is still kind. I can vaguely see the shadow of my youth in the opponent. Some tacit understanding between the two still exists.

Cheng Donglin turned his head to look at her: "How have you been in your army these years?"

Qi Yue: "Very good. How about you?"

When Cheng Donglin lowered his head, the lens of his glasses slightly reflected in the moonlight, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Cheng Donglin said slowly: "It doesn't matter, okay...you know, I have always regretted that I didn't witness it with my own eyes and didn't grow up with you. I also regret not coming back sooner."

Qi Yue heard something in his words, and she had a vague premonition about what he was about to say.

In fact, Cheng Donglin often ran here during this period. Sometimes Qi Yue is too busy here, and Cheng Donglin will take the initiative to perform surgery on her.

His existence, just like his people, is like a gentle wind and drizzle, which will not make people feel abrupt or uncomfortable.

She is not a grass or a tree, and she can feel Cheng Donglin's goodwill towards her.

Sure enough, Cheng Donglin said next: "I left in a hurry back then. I didn't even expect to have a chance to come back. So even if I heard from you later, I didn't contact you... I didn't expect that I would still come back and meet again. is you."

Cheng Donglin stopped suddenly. So Qi Yue could only stop afterwards.

Cheng Donglin turned and walked to the opposite side of Qi Yue, her narrow and beautiful eyes gazed at her tenderly through the lens: "Yueyue, I want to ask you, can you give me a chance to get to know you and accompany you again?"

Qi Yue: "..."

Cheng Donglin: "I know this is very abrupt to you. But now that I can get along with you day and night, I don't want to miss this opportunity."

Qi Yue said with some difficulty: "Cheng Donglin, we grew up together, you know, I have never thought about this..."

Cheng Donglin: "Don't feel pressured, and you don't have to answer me right away. I just want to tell you what I want. If you haven't met the right person yet, do you want to consider trying to...get along with me?"

Qi Yue was silent for a moment: "Cheng Donglin, based on our relationship, I'll just say something straight. I don't want to lie to you or delay you. I already have someone I like."

Cheng Donglin smiled wryly: "I know."

Qi Yue was slightly surprised.

Cheng Donglin sighed, "Just look at you and you will understand."

Cheng Donglin: "The look in your eyes has always followed that person. When he is there, your whole state of being is different."

Qi Yue raised his hand to signal him to stop: "Stop talking."

Cheng Dong paused and asked in a low voice: "But you haven't been together for so many years. Can I understand that...I still have a chance?"

Qi Yue: "..."

She couldn't answer. Cheng Donglin's words hurt her weakness.

Seeing her change in expression, Cheng Donglin immediately explained: "Sorry, I didn't mean that."

Qi Yue interrupted him dryly: "I know."

Cheng Donglin: "It's too late today. I'll take you back to the dormitory. Don't you have an operation tomorrow morning?"

Qi Yue: "Yeah."

When the two of them had just turned the corner of the wall, Qi Yue suddenly instinctively noticed something. As soon as I looked up, I saw a tall and slender man sitting on a tree branch, using military binoculars to observe the situation in the distant jungle...

Qi Yue stiffened and stopped instinctively.

She suddenly remembered that this is a sentinel of a medical camp.

Did he hear the conversation just now? How much did you hear? But their voices are not loud...

Qi Yue's mind was messed up, and he couldn't tell for a while whether he wanted him to hear it or not. The heartbeat was overwhelmed, and the fingers were slightly tightened...

"What's the matter?" Cheng Donglin noticed her parked gaze and looked up. Then, the eyes behind the lens turned slightly cold.

The man on the tree was holding a telescope in one hand and smoking half a cigarette in the other.

He seemed to feel the strange attention from under the tree, so he also glanced sideways, his vision was thin and calm.

Cheng Donglin and the man's eyes met, and no one spoke.

A gust of wind blew the choking smoke to Qi Yue's side.

Qi Yue frowned slightly.

Cheng Donglin retracted his gaze, turned his head and said softly, "Let's go."

Qi Yue nodded and walked away side by side with him.

******

The Dragon Boat Festival party ended smoothly. Everyone had a whole night and returned with great fun.

It is late at night, some people have fallen asleep, and some are still awake.

Lin Jing lay on the bed, put headphones in her ears, and clicked on a piece of audio recorded on her phone.

A single song is playing in the earphones in a loop. Because it was recorded on-site, and probably because the location of the radio is not very good, in addition to the song itself, there can be noisy cheers, voices, and hunting sounds.

However, when the song reached Lin Jing's ears, those noisy noises were automatically shielded by his brain, leaving only a woman with a clear and slightly melancholic voice, singing over and over again—

I hope you are my exclusive memory

In the bottom of my heart, no matter how bad people say

What i have now

You give me half of my love

I like you as my exclusive memory

No one

Take you from my body

In the lockdown zone of my feelings

It’s okay if you never mention it...
