It was still early when Qu Ming arrived at the highest prison, but the sky in the distance was densely covered with layers of gray haze, which looked a little overcast.

It happened that Yang Mian was the one who led Qu Ming to Rong Junlin.After experiencing the recent changes, Yang Mian looks a lot thinner. For him, "questioning the most admired person", "overturning the most steadfast belief", and "losing the purest belief" is undoubtedly a major blow. He began to doubt—or always doubted what he had been taught since he was a child.

The recent mood ups and downs made it difficult for Yang Mian to adjust. The world in his eyes has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Yang Mian has fallen into infinite depression before he can be relieved: what should have comforted Yang Mian is that, The truth of the year seemed to surface faintly. Rong Junlin was indeed the broad-minded Rong Junlin. He was always so open-minded, and even sent himself to prison with the last voting right; to Yang Mian's dismay, that Rong Junlin has disappeared, disappeared in the hands of his wife and his students—according to the investigation, the unknown toxin accumulated in his brain came from a special plant in the Far Eastern Federation, which is very old and can be traced back to Twenty or thirty years ago—that happened to coincide with the time when Rong Junlin, Qin Sangrou, and Qin Shizhang got acquainted and had a heart-to-heart relationship.

So Rong Junlin's only fault was that he mistrusted two people who he thought were his closest relatives, but at the same time they were the last people he should trust.

This conclusion made Yang Mian feel like he was blocked by something, and he was not interested in doing anything.

He didn't even put much thought into recording the scene where Rong Junlin and Qu Ming met.

Qu Ming went to the Supreme Prison to see Rong Junlin for no other purpose, but just wanted to see this elder who had treated him very well in the past.

When she saw Rong Junlin sitting on the chair with her eyes closed, the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist.

Because after the ups and downs some time ago, a few silver threads appeared on Rong Junlin's temples.He is only 50 years old, only a third of his life has passed, but he has lost everything.

His wife and his students had poisoned him fatally many years ago, trying to make him sleep forever; his son was adopted by his elder brother when he was born, and he never knew that there was such a thing as him. Father - and now his son has been abandoned.

Many of the ideas he put forward for the empire with all his heart, after the upheaval in the Far East, either changed their appearance and became the credit of others, or were stopped because they involved sensitive issues. To this day, only a few staunch supporters have not forgotten him.

So he is no longer young, his spirit is beginning to become easily exhausted, and his hair is slowly turning gray.

From body to heart, Rong Junlin is no longer young.

He is no longer the open-minded and clear Rong Junlin who can hug the younger generation and laugh and tease them heartily.

Qu Ming pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Rong Junlin's eyelids moved when he heard the door opening, and he opened his eyes to look at her.It only took two or three seconds for him to recognize Qu Ming, and said with a smile, "Ah Ming is here?"

In front of outsiders, Qu Ming, who was more resolute and stronger than all the girls in the world, shed tears because of this simple greeting.She threw herself into Rong Junlin's arms, choked up and shouted, "Uncle Rong!"

Rong Junlin paused for a moment, then reached out and patted her head.

Just like he was still the high-spirited Rong Junlin back then, and Qu Ming was still the little girl who loved to act like a baby and love to cry.

Feeling the familiar comfort, Qu Ming wiped away his tears and stood up and said, "Uncle Rong, I met Ah Pei in Yunlaigang! He will definitely inherit your philosophy and go on—because he is as capable as you , A person with determination! I will help him! Although he has encountered a little accident now, it will pass soon. I believe that after the end of winter, there will be a new year! Uncle Rong, you will watch us go go down?"

Yang Mian, who was standing on one side and was in charge of recording the whole process, paused, and his writing was half a minute slow.

Rong Junlin looked at Qu Ming quietly for a while, and said, "I said, this is your era." His eyes have never changed firmness, "The future of the empire will be created by you, and we are willing to be under your feet." The rocks are being stepped on by you to move forward, towards the peak that we have not yet reached. Whether it is Ah Pei, you, or someone else who leads you, we will always be here."

Qu Ming's tears fell down.

Women are always more emotional, and she also knows that Rong Junlin was the entry point for the Qin family to steal the secrets of the empire and the trigger for the upheaval in the Far East, but she just can't help but feel pain that Rong Junlin will be imprisoned forever and will not be free , let alone tolerate Man Tian's slander against Rong Junlin.

Of course Rong Junlin could feel Qu Ming's mood, he patted Qu Ming's shoulder, and said, "Go back, go back to Yunlaigang, that's where you all started - if you want to make something famous, first you You have to believe that one day it will become a place that everyone yearns for."

Qu Ming's heart was shocked, and his back couldn't help but straighten: "I see, Uncle Rong."

All the sadness has been suppressed on her face, and she has returned to the most familiar appearance to others.

After saying goodbye to Rong Junlin, Qu Ming left the highest prison.

Yang Mian did not follow Qu Ming, but stood quietly in Rong Junlin's room, as if he was thinking about something.

Rong Junlin glanced at him, and suddenly said: "The highest prison is no longer suitable for you."

Yang Mian was full of confusion.

Rong Junlin said: "You can't get any inspiration from me—or it should be said that your mind is no longer on me, so you need to go out and find your own new direction."

Yang Mian looked at the senior in front of him who he had infinitely admired, doubted, and disappointed, with uncontrollable emotions surging in his heart.This kind of emotion came intensely, but it dissipated quickly, and his heart quickly calmed down.

The fog in front of him slowly dissipated.

Yang Mian straightened his legs abruptly, bent over and bowed to Rong Junlin.

Then he turned and left.

At this time Qu Ming had already walked out of the highest prison.

Under the birch tree in front of the highest prison stood a man in imperial uniform.

It's just that the official military uniform with the medals on it has been replaced by the unrespected teacher's military uniform.

It's Zhao Yang.

Seeing Qu Ming, he said, "I'll go back to Yunlaigang with you."

Qu Ming froze slightly, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you changed your mind?"

Zhao Yang said: "If it is Rong Junlin, I will never become his supporter; but if it is Ah Pei, I believe he can do it. And as a friend, even if I don't agree with you, I should be here Time to help."

Qu Ming said, "Thank you."

Zhao Yang walked over to hold her hand, as if he had rehearsed it countless times, it was so natural that no one could refuse.

At the same time, the situation in Yunlaigang is also very gratifying.

Rong Pei's lower body gradually became conscious.

Gao Jingting has great strength, and it's easy to support Rong Pei around the garden every day. Every day at noon, he goes to the municipal government to give Rong Pei a massage, so Rong Pei recovers faster than expected.

That night Gao Jingting was late because of an important task in the military region, and Han Ding was responsible for sending Rong Pei home.

Xiao Xiao was probably worried, and followed Rong Pei's house.

Rong Pei felt that he often bothered Xiao Xiao and Han Ding, so he said with a smile: "Today, I'll cook and see if the food I make is edible."

Xiao Xiao said, "I'll help!"

Han Ding silently pushed Rong Pei into the kitchen, spontaneously took the position in front of the cutting board, and skillfully chopped vegetables.

Seeing his skillful movements, Rong Pei couldn't help joking: "Xiao Xiao, if you meet a man like Ah Ding, you must take him home."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help muttering in his heart: Adjutant Han wanted to get you home.

However, her face was very calm, she bent her arms and clenched her fists vigorously, with a determined face: "Definitely!"

Rong Pei was amused by her funny gesture.

The three of them usually cooperate a lot, so the meals are ready in no time.

Han Ding pushed Rong Pei to the dining room, and Xiao Xiao followed behind with dishes.

After the dishes were set and the rice was served, Xiao Xiao looked at the steaming home-cooked dishes on the table and Rong Pei who was sitting at the table smiling, his eyes suddenly got wet.

She stood up suddenly and said, "I forgot to bring the sauce!" Then she ran to the kitchen.

Rong Pei was a little taken aback.

Han Ding didn't know how Xiao Xiao and Rong Pei met, he only knew that Xiao Xiao already existed when he met Rong Pei.According to Xiao Xiao, Rong Pei once saved her life.

Judging from Xiao Xiao's attitude towards Rong Pei, Rong Pei is not just a simple savior to her, but looks more like a relative - and the closest and only relative.It's just that the former Rong Pei never seemed to need such things as family affection, so she tried her best to become someone useful to Rong Pei.

She chose to be Rong Pei's indispensable right-hand man.

In fact, a girl of her age has the softest heart, how could she not have the slightest desire for family affection.

So when Rong Pei appeared to be "infant" due to an accident, let go of a lot of burdens, found a short gap in his over-busy life, and simply lived a little life, Xiao Xiao also got what she wanted most. Get stuff - even if it may be very short-lived, it's enough.

Han Ding simply explained a few words to Rong Pei, and Rong Pei sat in his seat thoughtfully, with some scenes related to Xiao Xiao vaguely appearing in his mind.

That was something he hadn't given much attention to before.

Although he still couldn't see the whole picture, Rong Pei could feel a warm feeling in his heart.

These people really treat him well.

Xiao Xiao came out soon, her eyes were red, and she said bravely: "My eyes are swollen from peeling the onion, I will eat it all later."

Rong Pei smiled and said, "It's so hateful, I'll help you eat a little too."

When Gao Jingting returned to Rong Pei's house, he saw Rong Pei playing chess with Xiao Xiao, while Han Ding was washing dishes in the kitchen.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis that the territory was being invaded—or even occupied.

Xiao Xiao saw him sharply, stood up and said, "Colonel Gao is back, we should go back too."

Han Ding just finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. He said calmly, "Then let's go first."

Rong Pei said: "Divide the baked biscuits and cakes and take them home."

Xiao Xiao said, "Yeah!"

Gao Jingting watched Han Ding and Xiao Xiao pack up everything naturally, not to mention how depressed he was.

Rong Pei has always been very sensitive to other people's emotional changes, and after noticing Gao Jingting's silence, he asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Of course Gao Jingting would not admit it, he cheered up and said, "How could it be?"

Rong Pei didn't expose him either: "Just now Ah Ding has helped me walk for a long time, so I can take a shower and sleep directly."

Hold on to Han Ding!

Gao Jingting suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and reminded: "I need to massage before going to bed."

Rong Pei laughed.He felt that Gao Jingting was sometimes more "infant" than himself, so he subconsciously coaxed, "I know."

The familiar tone made Gao Jingting tremble slightly.

When he saw Rong Pei's eyes that were not as complicated as before, but just for fun, his heart twitched violently.

He couldn't help but speculate that he refused to admit that he was that "fool" at the time, and said cruelly to Rong Pei that "that fool has disappeared and will never come back", forcing Rong Pei to admit that he is not that "" Fool", what kind of mood did Rong Pei feel when he was a completely different person.

Is it like he is now, being penetrated by the inadvertently revealed true self, causing bursts of severe pain.

Gao Jingting half-kneeled in front of Rong Pei, buried his head in Rong Pei's neck, and called his name over and over again: "Apei...Apei...Apei! Apei!"

The call that seemed to come from the depths of his heart made Rong Pei tremble all over.

The irresistible, irresistible sense of familiarity captured his heart in an instant.
