16 years

The straight-line distance between the base of the C Department Military Region and Yancheng is [-] kilometers. If it were placed in a peaceful era, it would take up to nine hours by car to reach it.

Fu Yan did what he said, hung up the phone and went to resign from the No. [-] of the Military Region of the C Department. He politely declined the other party's invitation to "stay for two more days", and only said that he wanted to go home to see his lover.

No. [-] of the Military Region of the C Department is a very typical northeastern man, who believes in the life dogma of "no matter how hard a man works outside, he must go home". When he heard that Fu Yan was going back to see his lover, he didn't say anything. He was extremely displeased. Shedi let Fu Yan go.

When Fu Yan was leaving, the children's medicine optimized based on Yueyue's genes in the military area was officially declared successful. The last batch of surviving people were sent to the centralized living area, and Liu Ruosong also successfully got the key to the second floor of the small house.

Now Zhao Jincheng regards Fu Yan more and more as his own son, and sneaks and sneaks a lot of small things for Liu Ruosong and the others.While He Tang was still diligently weeding in the yard, Zhao Jincheng even gave Liu Ruosong new sheets and quilts for his family.

"No. [-] said, let you take a look first, if you are not satisfied with anything, you can bring it up again." The young guard rubbed the back of his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "You two are our heroes. As I said, I will do my best to satisfy any request.”

Zhao Jincheng still has a bit of racial blood in his bones, and he asked someone to clear a small piece of arable land while tidying up the yard.Now that small piece of land has been overturned, and it has been softly beaten into a neat ridge, just waiting for Liu Ruosong to sprinkle rapeseed in it.

Liu Ruosong couldn't help smiling, looked around privately, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I think it's pretty good, and you guys have taken care of it."

The guard scratched his face and whispered that he should.

"But why Captain Fu hasn't come back yet." The guard wondered, "No. [-] has already called three times today."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Ruosong asked puzzled, "We talked on the phone today, and he should be back by tomorrow night at the latest."

"That's good." The guard was relieved when he heard the words, and said, "Next week is the awarding ceremony. Recently, number one has been very angry, and he even said that if he doesn't let people go there, he will go snatch it."

"...Awarded?" Liu Ruosong was stunned, and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's the post-war awarding ceremony." The guard looked around and whispered, "In this apocalypse, a lot of places have been damaged. Now that the apocalypse is finally over, it's time to make up for people—" But this matter has not been made public, I just listened to it, so don't tell it outside."

Liu Ruosong has been spending time in the laboratory building recently, so he hasn't heard of this incident.However, in the past few years of the last days, the military region has lost many field officers, and now everything is finally back on track, and it is not surprising that they will be rewarded for their merits.

"Understood." Liu Ruosong smiled and said, "I won't tell the public, don't worry."

The guard obviously trusted Liu Ruosong very much, and didn't give any more instructions. He took Liu Ruosong around in and out according to Zhao Jincheng's instructions, and then went back to report.

Liu Ruosong heard the good news at first, and wanted to share it with Fu Yan immediately, but after thinking about it, he decided to endure the matter for two more days until Fu Yan came back.

A small garden swing was set up in a corner of the courtyard on the second floor. When the guards were renovating the small building, they also reinforced the swing.

Liu Ruosong was a little tired from walking, so he just sat on the swing, turned on the communicator and started to deal with the work.

His recent research has temporarily come to an end, but Liu Ruosong couldn't take it easy, so he took over the job of arranging the vaccination by himself.

The first batch of candidates for vaccination needs to be cautious. In addition to selecting field personnel with higher risk of work, the physical requirements for the vaccinated population are also very strict.

In the past few days, the physical examination reports of the first batch of pre-selected personnel have been sent to Liu Ruosong one after another. He needs to select the first batch of vaccination personnel based on these medical examination reports.

The data in these medical reports were complicated and detailed. Liu Ruosong was going to go back to the military area after taking a break, but he forgot the time when he watched it. Until the sun went down, he heard the footsteps of another person at the gate of the courtyard.

The sound of footsteps was regular and powerful, and the rhythm was clear and familiar. Liu Ruosong's rationality was still in the documents, but his body's instincts had already driven him to raise his head and follow the sound to look at the source of the sound.

Outside the courtyard gate, Fu Yan, who was dressed in a training uniform, walked from far to near. Seeing Liu Ruosong raised his head, he subconsciously slowed down and smiled at him.

Just at sunset, he came back from thousands of miles away dressed in fiery red warmth, Liu Ruosong was stunned for a moment, the communicator slipped from his fingers, and fell lightly into the grass, but Liu Ruosong did not felt.

"Brother?" Liu Ruosong stared at him blankly: "Aren't you—"

Liu Ruomatsu subconsciously looked down at the watch on his wrist, and found that it was only five hours since he spoke with Fu Yan.

Even if Fu Yan left after hanging up the phone, such a short time would not be enough for him to come back from the C Department military area, not to mention that he had to hand over work there and take care of the situation on the road.

Seeing Liu Ruosong in a daze, Fu Yan couldn't help smiling, stepped over the threshold, and walked towards him in a few steps.

Liu Ruomatsu subconsciously stood up to meet him, and said incoherently, "Wait a minute, isn't the expressway still open—"

"Yes." Fu Yan said, "So I flew back."

Liu Ruosong didn't expect him to be so eager to return this time, and after reacting for a while, he slowly digested the ecstasy of suddenly seeing Fu Yan.He couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Fu Yan, and whispered, "So anxious? Are you in a hurry to come back and give me a present?"

Liu Ruosong originally wanted to tease him, but Fu Yan actually hummed.

He looked very serious, carefully opened his flight jacket, and took out a slender paper package from his breast pocket.

Liu Ruosong didn't have any hope for Fu Yan's "gift" - Colonel Fu has too many criminal records in his life, except for roasted pig's trotters and raw ribs, Liu Ruosong even received a copy from Colonel Fu on his wedding anniversary Invest in gold bars.

But this time, the thing he brought back was obviously not within the range of Liu Ruosong's guess, it was thin and thin, and looked very soft, it was hard to tell what it was from the outside.Liu Ruosong inevitably became interested, and tiptoed to look directly at Fu Yan's hand.

Fu Yan spread the paper bag in his palm, and opened it little by little.To Liu Ruosong's surprise, the paper bag contained a feather.

"When I was in the military region of Department C, I saw a pair of wild geese." Fu Yan explained: "This is one of the feathers that fell."

Fu Yan doesn't know how to give gifts, nor is he good at pleasing others.

He doesn't know what to give in love to be worthy of Liu Ruosong. The concepts of "romantic" and "surprise" are almost blank for him. Except for Liu Ruosong himself, he can't give away anything in the world. Get in touch with these concepts.

So after agreeing to Liu Ruosong to give him a gift, Fu Yan was a little distressed for a while.

There is nothing in the last days, even if he wants to give Liu Ruosong a bouquet of flowers or a piece of chocolate according to the standard answer, it may be difficult to do so.

At that time, Fu Yan had no idea and no clue at all, but he knew he had to go home as soon as possible—so on the way to the headquarters, Fu Yan cleverly met a pair of wild geese migrating north.

At that time, Fu Yan had just finished talking with Liu Ruosong on the phone, and that kind of longing had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and reached an indescribable peak.

He saw that the mountains were not mountains, and the water was not water. He only remembered that it was also a sunny day in the C Department military area, the sun was shining at noon, and the sky was very blue and clear.

"The scenery over there is really good." Fu Yan said: "The grass over there is already green, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist. There are only a few clouds floating in the sky, and there is a very light earthy smell in the air."

"I don't know what to bring you to make you happy, but the scenery is so beautiful, I want you to see it too." Fu Yan paused, and added: "I want to bring it to you."

So he chose "one of them" of that scene, took it as a gift, and brought it to Liu Ruosong all the way.

Liu Ruosong thought, with Fu Yan's temperament, he probably couldn't think of such a subtle and introverted confession as "bird of loyalty" and "employment of six rites".He was probably simply moved by the scenery, so he couldn't help but want to share everything he saw with him.

This idea seems simple and pure, but Liu Ruosong knows that Fu Yan never cares about flowers, grass, or whether the sky is blue or not. What shape is the cloud.

So Fu Yan was clearly thinking about him at that time.

Because I think about another person in my heart, I think about another person, so everything in this world becomes colorful and becomes a three-dimensional painting.

What he sees is not the scenery, but the person who wants to share the scenery.

This thought flashed in Liu Ruosong's mind. He held Fu Yan's hand, carefully placed the feather in his palm, then glanced at Fu Yan who couldn't hide his nervousness, and leaned over to kiss him.

"Help." Liu Ruosong whispered, "I like it so much."
