In May of the 29th year of the Republic of China, the Eighth Army and the Tenth Army of the National Revolutionary Army merged into Li Yutang's Tenth Army, and the whole army was transferred to Hunan for training.Chen Jingyu received a transfer order to serve as the senior staff officer of the Pre-Tenth Division of the Tenth Army, and his rank was promoted to lieutenant colonel.After mid-May, I was also transferred there.

Chen Jingyu came to pick me up at the gate of the city, dressed neatly like the one I saw when I first came to Changsha.

I smiled and waved to her: "Surprise~"

"I don't think I can get rid of you in this life." She smiled helplessly and shook her head, "Even if I go to the battlefield, you will follow me..."

"Then we are really destined." I cut off her words and added sternly.

She patted the brim of my hat, "Spoof." Then she waved her hand and signaled Xiao Huo to pick up my luggage, while she pulled me into the car and sat directly in the back seat of the jeep military vehicle.She held me tightly when she pulled me into the car, and asked me softly: "Lu An, I don't know if I should be happy."

I smiled and fell into her arms with the force of her hand. She caught me and put her arms around my waist.I whispered in her ear, "You should be happy."

We should be happy that we can be together.What should be sad is that I fell from a safe and bright army to a battlefield quagmire—even though it was not what she wanted.

My assignment was deliberate, just as I couldn't get the code of the Ninth War Zone immediately when I was sitting in Chongqing, and I would never decipher the local secret code when I stayed in the military headquarters.

In mid-March of the 28th year of the Republic of China, Li Yutang's Eighth Army confronted the Japanese Sixth Division at Coffin Mountain north of Wuning, and was awarded the title of "Taishan Army" by the military department for its record.After the Battle of Changsha broke out in September, they cooperated with the main forces in the theater to counterattack on the outer edge.

No matter from what point of view, such a unit is an extremely excellent unit.Chen Jingyu revealed the news to me mysteriously on the way: "After the report is over, I will take you to meet someone."

I wonder, who else do I know in the garrison in Changsha?In fact, I don't know many people in China.When I inquired again, Chen Jingyu just smiled insincerely. I was so curious, as if being flapped back and forth by a cat's tail. I wanted to catch it, but I couldn't.

Seeing that Chen Jingyu was out of action, I went to harass Xiao Huo who was driving.Xiao Huo glanced at Chen Jingyu from the reversing mirror, and said to me with a smile: "Mr. Lu, our commander is firm. If you say that I am an adjutant, it is not easy to disobey, right?"

It's not good to disobey your officer, so you can bully me?No matter how I say it, my military rank is one triangle higher than yours. Have you never heard of a senior officer crushing someone to death?

I pouted to beat Xiao Huo, but as soon as I stretched forward, Chen Jingyu pulled me back by the collar: "Xiao Huo is driving, what are you doing?"

I was caught in her arms, she held my waist tightly with one hand, I was almost half leaning on her, she exerted some force on her hand: "Don't mess around."

I had no choice but to poke her waist angrily, "You're so smart."

She grabbed my hand with the other hand, including the fingertips and the palm of the hand. I struggled, but I didn't break away. She took my hand and put it on her lap, but she let go. I haven't Before she had time to take it away, she wrapped her fingertips along the gap between her fingers, and we clasped our fingers tightly.

I reported at the headquarters of the Pre-Tenth Division of the Tenth Army, the division commander Fang Zishan, the rank of Major General of the Army.I was a little familiar with this name when I first heard it, but I didn't think much about it at the door of the teacher's office.When I knocked on the door, I subconsciously glanced at Chen Jingyu standing beside me. She smiled at me, perhaps satisfied with my dependence, and then held the slightly trembling hand that I was about to knock on the door.She knocked on the door for me, with white fingers after taking off her gloves, she knocked three times, "Come in" came from inside, she pushed the door open, and at the same time whispered in my ear calmly: "Don't be afraid, Teacher, you met when you were a child. I am here."

After entering the door, I reported my home and talked with the teacher. When he heard my name was Lu An, he was stunned for a moment, "Does it mean Dalu Ping'an?"

My father took my name, but he passed away early, and before I was sensible enough to tell me the meaning of the name, my mother cut off all contact with him after he left and took me away. Don't tell me about my homeland.I know the meaning of my name, and I got it from Chen Jingyu.

I nodded affirmatively, and he also nodded, pointing to the chair in front of the table, "Sit down, don't be polite, people like you are the hope of the party and the country, and your military rank and position cannot restrict you."

I sat down in response, and the water cup was placed in front of me. The tea was already brewed. I often saw my father drink it from the traditional Chinese tea when I was a child.

Only then did he understand what Chen Jingyu's words meant.I have indeed met him. He, my father and Chen Jingyu’s father were all classmates of Whampoa Phase III. Before my father died, he had visited my house, but the years are too long, and I actually can’t remember him. At that time, I can only think of my father hugging me and coaxing: "A'an, be polite, and give your Uncle Fang a New Year's greeting, okay?" My boss told me to warm my hands, I hid my hands in my sleeves, and wobbled down from my father's lap to bow to the people who came, the whole room burst into laughter.At that time, Chen Jingyu and her parents were also present, and Wu Yingtang was also there, but I didn't have a deep impression of him.

After I went out, I saw Chen Jingyu leaning against the wall in a daze. In fact, the word daze should not be used, because she was mostly thinking about something, but I have never been able to accurately judge from her expression whether she was thinking or in a daze.I couldn't, but she could, as she put it, know what I was thinking with just a glance.

As soon as I leaned over, she sensed it and immediately straightened up, "How is it?"

I frowned on purpose, with a hard-to-speak look: "Chen Jingyu, tell me the truth, how many things have you kept from me?"

She laughed, "The teacher counts one thing, and there is another one."

We were walking down the corridor to my office downstairs, and I asked, "Is that the one you mentioned in the car?"

She shrugged her shoulders and made an innocent expression, "It's not that I want to hide it from you." During the speech, he had already reached the door of the office, and Xiao Huo stood upright at the door, his posture almost catching up with the military posture.

I thought to myself that the ostentation was a bit big, so I smiled at her: "When will the mighty and unyielding Chief Chen be bribed? How much benefit did the other party give you? I can double it."

She stared at me. I was teasing her, but when she stared blankly at me, I started to sweat a little.She suddenly said: "According to your context, it's better to use rich and honor not to be promiscuous at this time."

I:"……"

I ignored her, and went straight to push the door open, ready to clean up my office.Unexpectedly, as soon as the slit was opened, a tall figure standing with his back was vaguely glimpsed inside.My hand that pushed the door paused, then turned to look at Chen Jingyu, the other hand was ready to take the gun.

Chen Jingyu stretched out his hand, "Please, the person who bought me with a lot of money is inside. Don't you want to double it? It's better for businessmen to talk by themselves."

I didn't hesitate anymore, and pushed the door open in one breath.The curtains in the room were wide open, and the noon sun flooded the room. The man in military uniform stood facing the window with his back to me. In the sunlight, there were small particles in the air floating around him, floating up and down.

Looking at the familiar figure from the back, I tentatively asked, "Yingtang?"

The man turned around with a smile, his neck was swallowed, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were starry. When he smiled, he still had the gentle breath of sunshine, and he seemed completely unaffected by the war.

I rushed forward and hugged him: "You boy! Why are you here!"

He patted me, let go and grinned: "I knew you had forgotten which unit I was in, so I planned to scare you. How about it, did Chen Jingyu cooperate with me?"

It's not just cooperation, it's like a nest of wolves and rats.

I smiled dryly: "I think you two are a perfect match."

It was a joke, but Chen Jingyu didn't say anything after hearing it, but Wu Yingtang already responded that Dadi proved her innocence: "Don't, don't, I have nothing to do with her. If my family knows what you said, I won't even have to fight. , Go straight back to Chongqing and kneel at the ancestral hall."

I let out a "huh" and felt that the problem in his sentence was very big.The three of us grew up together, and the jokes at home were both true and false. It’s not a matter of a day or two, but the worry is who to choose between me and Chen Jingyu. Just stop here.I don't know why the Chen and Wu families didn't continue. In short, when we were in Cambridge, Chen Jingyu still didn't understand why he wanted to bring me and Wu Yingtang together.

Before I figured out what was wrong, Chen Jingyu looked him up and down, with an expression that couldn't tell whether he was more inquiring or disgusting.She lightly threw a bomb out: "Are you engaged?"

I believe that if I was drinking water at this time, I would spray Wu Yingtang all over my body: "When did you get engaged? I have a sister-in-law? It's not Wu Yingtang, why didn't you tell me the last time I saw you in Changsha City? We grew up together as childhood sweethearts Have you forgotten all your affection?"

Wu Yingtang ignored me, and turned his gaze to look at Chen Jingyu, "You are so boring, indifferent and old-fashioned, such a big girl can catch up with those old men in the ancestral hall."

Chen Jingyu raised her eyebrows, "So you're really engaged?" I don't know if the phrase "indifferent and old-fashioned" stimulated her, but the disgust on her face became more and more, showing an incredible look, and said in shock: "I didn't think Someone would want you."

Wu Yingtang has always said that he can't stand her, he touched me with my arm, and deliberately lowered his voice just enough for Chen Jingyu to hear: "I think she is the one who can't get married."

I thought to myself, I don't need to bother you, she's already taken by someone.Just as the thoughts turned around in his mind, Chen Jingyu snorted coldly: "Then I won't bother you."

I followed Chen Jingyu and said, "You should protect my sister-in-law from finding out about your affair back then."

Wu Yingtang snorted, "Think I'm just like you, lonely and alone?" He took something out of his pocket, and I took advantage of him to shut up and pushed back: "Do you think I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law, do you want to betray you?" Cambridge affair?"

Wu Yingtang stubbornly ignored me, but Chen Jingyu had a slight smile on her face, and I exchanged glances with her, grinning wryly.

Wu Yingtang said mysteriously, "Naive."

I turned my head to retort, startled by a photo in his hand.

On it is a portrait of a family of three, the man on the left is handsome and tall in military uniform, that is Wu Yingtang.On the right is a demure and graceful woman in a cheongsam, but in front of them there is a child sitting on a chair, two or three years old, with a small face carved with pink jade. Wu Yingtang and the woman put their hands on the child's shoulders.

Wu Yingtang proudly said: "This is my daughter, her name is Wu Nianhe, isn't she cute?"
