Everyone left.

Chen Yaozhi looked at the flow of people retreating outwards, and stroked the head of little Corgi.

"Excuse me, the show is over. Do you want to continue sitting here and staring?" Chen Yaozhi felt helpless.

These two people are playing sculptures here, symmetrical on the left and right, almost like two evil spirits at the gate.It's a pity that he was embarrassed, and he couldn't find a way to get out of this weird atmosphere.

Just as he was sighing, Chen Yaozhi's authenticator rang, and he glanced at it, and it was Du Kang.

Du Kang hadn't harassed him for two days, Chen Yaozhi was not used to it, and now seeing the message, he felt inexplicably happy.

—— "Is the auction over? I'm at the gate of the building and I'll take you home."

Chen Yaozhi made a decisive decision, regardless of whether his posture was elegant or not, he directly climbed over the front seat cushion.As for the two uncles who are still in the seat, let them continue to stage this love that has spanned many years, and he will not accompany them.

The night of Jiulongxing is cool and windy.

The sky is vast, with a few stars, and the lights of the building flow like water, sprinkling orange moist on the street.

Chen Bitzhi saw Du Kang in the parking lot.He wore a mask and a hat to block the face that attracted the attention of men and women in the Federation.

Sitting on Du Kang's flying car, Chen Yaozhi was a little curious about the other party's silence.

This guy who has always been noisy, seems to have been given a dumb drug today.

The little flying car drove all the way to the gate of Chen's community.

"Let's stop here, I want to walk for a while, and sit all night." Chen Yaozhi said.Tonight, after being a mountain sculpture between two stone lions all night, he felt that his bones were about to harden.

"I'll see you off." Du Kang parked the car and took off his mask and hat.

The two walked on the green belt of the community.

Clouds of mist floated on the artificial lake, making the water surface hazy at night, and a gust of wind blew in, making people feel damp on their bodies.

"In a bad mood?" Chen Yaozhi asked.

Du Kang: "Yes."

"Why don't you tell me?" Chen Yaozhi said, and he was surprised. This kind of opening remarks of a life mentor's chicken soup for the soul really didn't fit his style.

Du Kang stopped and stared at his face.The warm light from the street lamp made Chen Yaozhi's face more gentle.

Du Kang whole-heartedly told Chen Yaozhi about the return banquet.

"When Gao Haijing was dying, he wrote on my hand 'be careful of Chen Bitezhi'."

Chen Bitezhi was stunned, his expression was the same as that of the little Corgi in his arms, showing a cute and ignorant look.

"Be careful with me?" Chen Bitzhi asked for confirmation, is there something wrong with his ears?

Such a cute expression was rarely seen on this indifferent face, Du Kang couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth: "Yes, be careful."

Chen Yaozhi: "Have I offended him? Or did I know him before?" Chen Yaozhi searched his memory for a while before he matched Gao Haijing.In my impression, the two met only once, the day when Du Kang returned to the Ninth Army.But when Gao Haijing saw him that day, his expression was indeed timid.

Du Kang jokingly said: "Maybe he is afraid that I will miss the beauty town, so the king will not go to court early from now on."

Chen Yaozhi has long been immune to this level of teasing, and has evolved into a counterattack mode: "Comparing these two faces, who is obsessed with beauty?"

"If you are obsessed with me, I can't ask for it. I will lie flat and let you tease me." In terms of shamelessness, after all, it is Du Kang who is superior.

After the joke was over, Chen Yaozhi put away his expression and stroked the hair on Little Corgi's belly: "Don't you doubt me?"

Du Kang shook his head.

Chen Yaozhi lowered his head and chuckled lightly.

Du Kang: "I'm worried about you."

Chen Yaozhi was slightly at a loss.

Du Kang raised his head and glanced at the starry sky. "Do you still remember that once someone came to your store to buy red wine and mistook you for his dead lover?"

Chen Bitzhi nodded, deeply impressed, that lover's guest was almost a replica of him, from the eyelashes to the corners of the lips to the faint mole on the neck, they were almost exactly the same.

"You mean to say that Gao Haijing admitted the wrong person?" Chen Yaozhi asked.

Du Kang shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that you are not a bad person."

Chen Bitzhi raised his eyebrows: "Knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart, inexplicable trust is not necessary."

Du Kang: "We have already known each other and fell in love. Isn't the most basic thing between lovers is trust?"

Chen Yaozhi was speechless about his thick skin that stamped his lover directly.

Du Kang: "Accompany me to Gao Haijing's hometown tomorrow, he is my subordinate after all, I should go to condolences."

Chen Bitzhi was surprised: "You are not like a person who repays grievances with virtue. Minister Gao almost killed you. How quickly do you let go of old evils?"

Du Kang sighed softly: "Siren has passed away, after all, I remember more, the good time we had together."

Du Kang half-raised his face, the soft light fell on his face eloquently, and his eyes were full of longing and hesitation.

Looking at that face, Chen Yaozhi suddenly remembered the childish boy he saw in "Huang Liang A Dream".

There was no romance and innocence in Du Kang's childhood, and the process of growing up was full of pain and burden. He carried the worry and peace of the Federation on his back, and the silence and betrayal of relatives and friends stuck in his belly.

Chen Yaozhi suddenly felt his throat was bitter, like drinking a pot of traditional Chinese medicine without rock sugar.He put his arms around the other's neck, and in the other's bewilderment, kissed the corner of the mouth.

In the early morning, the sky is full of sunshine.

After having breakfast with Chen's father and meeting Lin Ren and Xiao Ke Aizhi, Chen Yaozhi accompanied Du Kang to Gao Haijing's house.

Gao Haijing's family is located in the Huandi District of Jiulongxing, which is the area with the best education and medical resources in Jiulongxing.The community is full of detached villas, the area is not large, but the environment is comfortable and quiet.

Du Kang said hello in advance, so Gao Haijing's parents were waiting at the gate early.

As soon as she saw Du Kang and Chen Yaozhi, Gao's mother looked like crying.

"Marshal Du, you have to be the master for my son. Our family is such a pillar. Now that Hai Jing is not here, our old man has a white-haired man to send a black-haired man, and Hai Jing has a younger brother who is sick in bed. How do you let us live. "

Chen Yaozhi's expression was indifferent, this show-like performance was too exaggerated, it really couldn't touch his heart, he couldn't even squeeze out fake tears.

After all, Du Kang is the boss, and he treats the family members of his subordinates very politely. "Let's talk in the house."

As soon as she entered the room, before she had a cup of tea, Gao's mother squeezed to Du Kang's side again, and said next to Du Kang: "Marshal, you have also seen the conditions of our family. Is this Hai Jing's death in the line of duty? Is there a pension? "

Chen Bitzhi frowned, feeling deeply uncomfortable, and the resolute figure of his parents in his childhood memories came back to his mind.

Du Kang noticed Chen Yaozhi's expression, stretched out his hand, and clasped his palm.

"Hai Jing was killed by poison, it's an accidental death, not a death on duty." Du Kang said, as for the diary, he didn't talk about it with anyone else in the Ninth Army except Chen Yaozhi.

Father Gao was a little nervous: "He was poisoned? Has the murderer been caught?"

Du Kang shook his head.

Father Gao: "Then if there is no murderer, can we still ask for death compensation?"

Chen Yaozhi couldn't bear it anymore, and the helplessness he had spent more than 20 years resurged again. "Don't you ask how Gao Haijing is? He's dead, he's no longer in this world."

Gao's father and Gao's mother were taken aback by his sudden roar.Neither of them paid much attention to this person. After all, with Du Kang's outstanding face, anyone who is with Du Kang will be automatically blocked.

Gao's mother saw the two people holding hands, and knew that the relationship between the two was very close, and she was not someone who could offend. Her voice was a little bit aggrieved: "Death cannot be resurrected, and one must always look forward." After finishing speaking, He began to pester Du Kang again and talked about the issue of pensions.

Chen Yaozhi couldn't hear Gao's mother's voice clearly, only a vague humming sound remained.

Chen Yaozhi saw a child squatting in front of him, and a middle-aged man and an old woman beside him.

The middle-aged man said: "Mom, I'm about to start a new life. People always have to look forward. I can't let the oil bottle delay my new family."

The old woman looked melancholy, looked at the child squatting on the ground sympathetically, but did not speak after all.

You go your own way and find your own happiness, but what about me?How innocent am I?What am I doing wrong?

"Azhi? Ahzhi?"

Chen Yaozhi came back from the memory, looked at Du Kang, the man's eyes were deep, full of endless tenderness and care.

Chen Yaozhi shook his head and kept silent.He thought he spent a lot of time healing the wound, but at some point, the fragile part would open again, revealing the scarred skeleton.

Du Kang didn't shy away from half-embracing him in his arms, rubbing the back of Chen Yaozhi's hand little by little, as if silently comforting him.

Gao's father and Gao's mother looked at the two of them and looked at each other in blank dismay. Could this be the marshal's lover?Why haven't you heard of it?

Du Kang looked at Gao's mother: "Hai Jing's younger brother, how is the situation now?"

Speaking of this topic, Gao's father and mother were eloquent for a while, and piles of medical cases came out of nowhere, and they complained in front of Du Kang, complaining about the high medical expenses, and complaining that Gao Haijing left them behind Old, weak, sick and disabled, life is difficult to maintain.

Du Kang casually flipped through the newer case sheets, frowning slightly. "Do you know what Haijing's annual salary is?"

Gao's father and Gao's mother were taken aback, wondering why Du Kang suddenly made things difficult.

"It shouldn't be difficult to check, right? The salaries of interstellar military officers at all levels are transparent. Father Gao was also a member of the military establishment, so it's not clear, right?" Du Kang said.

"Know some." Father Gao said honestly.

"The salary of the military minister is not low, and there are various attendance rewards, but the medicine needed for this disease is basically a drop in the bucket, right?" Du Kang raised his eyes.

Gao's father and Gao's mother looked confused, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Dukang's gourd.

"Then you haven't thought about why Haijing can maintain the medical expenses?" Du Kang said softly.

Gao's mother promised: "Isn't there a bonus for winning every battle? He must have other businesses."

Du Kang smiled wryly: "When you urged him for medical expenses every month, did you care about his life?" Du Kang thought of all kinds of things in his diary, and he felt desolate from nowhere.

Gao's father and Gao's mother were dumbfounded, not knowing what Du Kang's words meant.

Du Kang took out a cowhide document bag from the storage bracelet and handed it to Gao's father and Gao's mother.

"It stands to reason that Haijing's death was accidental, and he could only receive the lowest level of regular pension and one-time pension. I applied here with the headquarters. Considering Haijing's military achievements and contributions over the years, I applied for the highest level of pension. Gold, that is, a one-time payment of 60 months' salary, and then 60% of Haijing's salary every month, and the difference will be made up by our Ninth Army itself."

Gao's father and Gao's mother couldn't wait to take the file bag and found the clauses about the pension in black and white.

"Such a small amount of money is not enough for Lin'er's medical expenses!" Mother Gao mourned. "Marshal, you have to decide for us."

Du Kang's expression turned cold: "When the murderer is caught, you can apply to the court for death compensation."

Father Gao read the law well: "That's not much."

Du Kang: "I want to see Hai Jing's room."

This proposal was a bit abrupt, and Gao's father and Gao's mother were stunned. After a long time, Gao's father stammered: "Hai Jing hasn't come back for a long time, and there are some sundries piled up in the house."

"It's okay, I'll go take a look."
