under the tower

Ji Xi pushed the door open and entered. A middle-aged man wearing a high-ranking officer's uniform was sitting alone with his hands folded. There was a faint crease on his face, gray and white hair, handsome eyebrows, and a vigorous figure.

Ji Xi paused for a moment, and gradually found the shadow of this man in the depths of his memory.

He remembered that the last time he saw Wu Qianshu was when he was less than five years old. It was too long ago, and the appearance of this person was just a vague concept to him now.

However, the moment he walked through the door, as he saw the person again, he felt something strange and harmonious flowing in the air, as if something in his cells had been reawakened and activated.

That was the wonderful sense of connection brought about by the natural blood relationship. Ji Xi could even instinctively perceive that this person did have an inseparable relationship with himself—similar ingredients flowed in their blood vessels, and they were of the same origin.

"Uncle Wu." He changed to a more friendly address, "Hello."

Wu Qianshu looked at Ji Xi for a while, and finally his eyes fell on Ji Xi's face, and said in a vicissitudes of tone: "After so many years, Xiao Ji has grown so big, um... taller, thinner, and longer. gone."

Ji Xi was like a child being greeted by an elder, all the armor on his body was taken off, and he smiled obediently: "You are still the same as before, not old at all."

Wu Qianshu smiled until the wrinkles on his face folded: "You kid, I didn't expect to have such a sweet mouth when you grow up." He waved to Ji Xi, "Come, let uncle take a good look."

Ji Xi stepped forward.

The two greeted each other a few words, then Wu Qianshu's expression changed and became serious: "Xiao Ji, you came to Beicheng on purpose this time, but what happened to Ji's family?"

It has to be said that Wu Qianshu has been immersed in the army for more than ten years, and his intuition is quite keen, and he guessed Ji Xi's intention at a glance.

Ji Xi didn't hide anymore, he said sadly: "My grandfather...Ji Xuan was killed by gangsters half a year ago."

Wu Qianshu was taken aback for a moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, his face was heavy, and he let out a long sigh: "It's so... so..."

Ji Xi asked: "Uncle, do you already know?"

Wu Qianshu said sadly: "I was not sure before. About half a year ago, the contact between your grandfather and me was suddenly cut off, but the regular communication with the Beicheng military remained the same. I found it strange and guessed that something might have happened to Ji's family. What an unexpected situation, but I didn't expect... Mr. Ji would not be there at that time."

"Who killed him?"

Ji Xi unreservedly told Wu Qianshu everything he knew, including the fact that the deformed person may have mutated, and formed a human-intellectual guess.

Wu Qianshu showed a shocked expression after hearing this: "This... how could such a thing happen?"

Ji Xi shook his head, expressing that he had only a half-knowledge about it.

Wu Qianshu: "Xiao Ji, are you sure you read correctly? The one who killed your grandfather was really a deformed person?"

Ji Xi said in a resolute tone: "Only this is the only thing I am very sure of. Uncle, I know that it sounds ridiculous when I tell you at first, but it is the truth, you must believe me."

Wu Qianshu is worthy of being an admiral who has seen strong winds and waves, he quickly calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, this news is too important, I will have someone recall the testing equipment immediately, and ask the Chief Section Chief of the Chongming Research Institute to redo Verification."

Ji Xi nodded: "That would be the best, I hope the same tragedy will not happen again in Beicheng."

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on this matter." Wu Qianshu said with concern, "Xiao Ji, you are in Beicheng now, is everything okay?" The man's weather-beaten face showed an extremely guilty expression, "I really It's a pity that I didn't lend a helping hand at the first time when the accident happened to Ji's family. It's really that the information between Beicheng and Shencheng is disconnected. It's not like..."

Ji Xi hurriedly said: "You don't need to blame yourself, I understand. Everything is fine in Beicheng now, and my life is not in danger."

"It's my uncle who really didn't fulfill my responsibility to take care of you." Wu Qianshu sighed, "You must have suffered a lot in Beicheng in the past six months, right?"

When Wu Qianshu mentioned the past six months, Ji Xi couldn't help but think of the back view of Yan Yi wearing a bib and cooking in the kitchen. This scene that has appeared countless times still makes him feel a kind of warmth similar to home. Ji Xi thought, A heartfelt smile couldn't help appearing on his face: "Really not, don't worry, I'm doing fine."

Wu Qianshu looked at Ji Xi's expression, and smiled for a moment: "That's good, that's good, I will feel more at ease when someone takes care of you."

Ji Xi was startled: "How do you know that someone is taking care of me?"

Wu Qianshu said with a smile: "You boy, I don't know you. You must be extremely pampered and pampered at home. Now you suddenly have to come to Beicheng by yourself and bear such a lot of pressure. If you don't There is a caring person to help, can you take good care of yourself?"

Ji Xi blushed: "You still understand me."

Wu Qianshu looked lovingly: "When will you bring it to me?"

Ji Xi opened his mouth: "Ah? That...you mean...that..."

Wu Qianshu mistakenly thought that he was embarrassed, and immediately comforted him: "I have taken care of you for so long, as an elder, of course I have to thank him well, it's okay, don't be nervous."

Ji Xi said "hmm" twice, lowered her head, and said softly, "I... go back and ask him."

"Okay, you need to get people's consent. After all, it's a formal matter." Wu Qianshu said, "Xiao Ji, what are your plans next?"

"Uncle, it's like this..." Ji Xi thought about his words and said tactfully, "After that, I still plan to go back to Shanghai, after all, it is my home, but I am alone now, and I need your help in some places." help……"

"Understood." Wu Qianshu understood immediately, and promised, "Uncle will definitely help you with this matter. Whatever you want to do, as long as it is within the scope of uncle's ability, I will definitely help you fight for it."

A warm current rose from the bottom of Ji Xi's heart: "Then if you are in the Beicheng Military Region now, how many people can you transfer?"

Wu Qianshu pondered: "I have a lot of people under my command, but if I want to take them to Shencheng, I have to go through the process of North City to apply for approval. How about this, I will try to provide you with 500 people, do you see enough?"

Ji Xi's eyes lit up: "That's enough, you really helped me a lot."

Wu Qianshu smiled: "We're all a family, you're welcome, I'm your elder, and it's only right to help out in times of crisis."

Ji Xi said gratefully: "That's really great, although you said you're welcome, but I really..."

Wu Qianshu waved his hand: "You are in the army now, and you happen to be under my command. If you need anything in life, feel free to mention it. Don't worry about it. Regarding the transfer of troops, I will be leaving for a field mission soon, and I will be away for about four weeks. Base, let me help you report to the top first, to clear up the relationship, just say that I personally want to go back to Shencheng for a business trip, bring a few people, and the higher up should not deliberately stop it. When I come back, we can almost make the trip. Go back with you and clean up all the pests that should be solved at once, so that you will have no worries."

Ji Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely: "You really helped me plan everything, this is the best."

That night, Ji Xi was filled with an extremely excited emotion, tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Everything just went smoothly and unexpectedly.He thought with great excitement—finally, he could finally go home.

The next day, Ji Xi told Yan Yi about this.

After learning the lesson from last time, he learned to be good, and he didn't hide his plan from Yan Yi again.

After training, they had a light meal together in the cafeteria near the apartment building, and then walked back side by side in the cool evening breeze.

After Yan Yi listened silently, his expression didn't reveal too much emotion, he just asked: "When are you leaving?"

Ji Xi: "About a month later, I'm still waiting for the application for the transfer of troops. Anyway, I will return to Shencheng with Uncle Wu at that time. With him around, I have nothing to worry about."

Yanyi said: "Alright, be careful."

Ji Xi said: "Now the person you are looking for has been found, if you want to leave..."

Yan Yi shook his head: "I have something else to do. I can't leave the army for now."

Ji Xi stopped in her tracks, turned around and faced him, with straight eyes: "Don't you ask me when I'll be back?"

Yan Yi: "When are you coming back?"

Ji Xi said: "When everything is over, I will come back to pick you up, okay?"

Yan Yi was taken aback.

Under the moonlight, the snow-white boy was like an almost transparent elf, as if he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xi looked directly at Yan Yi, his eyes were like bright gemstones, then he stood on tiptoe and exchanged a deep kiss with Yan Yi.

Yan Yi supported Ji Xi's waist with his hands, lowered his head, and hugged the young man with this slender bone in his arms, his outstretched fingers touched his protruding butterfly bone through the clothes.

He caressed those two somewhat protruding bones. Many times, he felt that a pair of wings might grow in that place one day, so he unconsciously pressed harder, pressing on the boy's back, with a kind of absolute protection or imprisonment. The posture imprisoned him in his arms.

A faint smell of blood began to waft from the mouth.

They like to kiss very much recently, sometimes Ji Xi starts first, sometimes Yan Yi starts, Yan Yi is not gentle in this respect, Ji Xi's lips are often bitten by him, most of the time their kisses will be accompanied by blood partner, but the broken skin will soon heal again, repeatedly.

But Ji Xi didn't mind too much, he liked the feeling of his lips and teeth touching each other, cuddling tightly with another body exuding hot vitality, which made him feel like he didn't need to worry about anything, what A sense of stability and comfort without worry, as if wrapped in a pool of lukewarm water, or transformed into a baby back into the warm womb of its original mother.

This kiss was not long, the intertwined lips and tongue were slowly parted, revealing a transparent and cohesive silver thread, perhaps because of the stimulation of some hormones or adrenaline, Ji Xi gasped and said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, I want to say What is..."

"...Do you want to go back to Shencheng with me?"
