Desperate

The two people sitting in the truck looked at each other silently for a while.But on the surface, they are peaceful, but their thoughts are not the same.

One didn't want to talk at all, and felt that talking to people in the military was undoubtedly getting worse and worse, so he simply shut up, looking like he was about to remain silent forever.

As for the other one, he was racking his brains trying to talk to the other party. The flirting just now was too failed. This person couldn't bear to be ignored like this, so he made up his mind to make a blockbuster, so he was accumulating strength.

In the end, the laughter from outside interrupted the silence of the two of them. Dou Huaiye looked out of the window when he heard the sound, and saw that there were many people gathered on the beach on the opposite bank, and a bright bonfire was set up among the crowd. Holding a beer and eating, we celebrated the arrival of the second mid-war New Year together.

Dou Huaiye silently withdrew his gaze.

The man looked at her without saying a word, and felt that the beauty was lonely, and it was a good time for him to show off: "What's the matter? Are you envious of her? How about I take you to a lively place?"

Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter smiled contemptuously when she heard this: "When the country is in crisis, there are many white-eyed wolves who don't care about it."

The man was taken aback by the tone of bitterness and hatred, and he couldn't help but began to reflect on whether he was also a member of the "white-eyed wolf". After reviewing his behavior in the past two years, he felt that he was a person who was indifferent to foreign affairs. that category.

Anyway, he has a noble status, so he has no reason to go to the front line to work with those desperadoes. He has just graduated from the military academy and got the rank of captain, and he has never experienced the hardships of starting from the bottom.The man is well aware of his luck, but he never feels that there is anything wrong with it.

But being said in public today, even though it wasn't aimed at himself, the man still felt somewhat embarrassed.He turned his head to look at the unlucky woman with unfriendly eyes, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why are you so prudish? Isn't it because of the New Year that everyone is happier."

Dou Huaiye also became a little angry. She was not a good-tempered person in the first place, and she swallowed her anger only because she was afraid of the guns of the army. At this moment, she was facing this scoundrel whose officer was not like an officer, and a blind man was not like a blind man. Unable to suppress it any longer: "I'm not saying that there is something wrong with welcoming the New Year, but I just think it's not good to gather people to celebrate like this."

The man turned the steering wheel: "What's the difference?"

Dou Huaiye looked at the man's indifference, suddenly felt that he was one of the white-eyed wolves, so he felt that he was an idiot who wasted his words with this man, and closed his mouth again.

But the man was still relentless: "It's a rare New Year, don't you want to relax?"

Dou Huaiye didn't even want to answer this sentence, but deep down in his heart, he still had a little fear of wearing a military uniform, so he looked at the gradually darkening sky, and answered him in a wrong way: "The sun is going down soon. , you take off your sunglasses, be safe."

The man's mind jumped up because of her words, although he didn't answer his question directly, but this was the first soft word she said since spending more than half an hour with Dou Huaiye.

At this time, the truck drove into the sea-crossing bridge from the shore road, and the last golden light of the setting sun remained on the purple horizon, and the sea breeze that had lost its heat blew on Dou Huaiye's face, making her shiver from the cold.

When Dou Huaiye was young, he heard the old man in his family say that at sunset, it is also the time when demons and ghosts run rampant.Unarmed human beings are willingly bewitched by ghosts and offer their souls with both hands.

As if bewitched by a goblin, Dou Huaiye turned his head, and his eyes fell on the face of the man who slightly raised his mouth.

It is always gratifying to be cared for by a beautiful and attractive woman, not to mention that the one in front of me is so beautiful.Liang Qian took off her sunglasses in a good manner, her peach blossom eyes were flying in the half-bright twilight, her beautiful face like a woman had a seductive smile, like a goblin in human skin in a fairy tale, Waiting for the prey to step into his trap.

Liang Qian smiled happily: "Dou Huaiye, I'll take you to dinner, okay? I'll make up for my rudeness just now."

Dou Huaiye found it ridiculous.

She was originally a person who followed the rules, and the black and white world moved around her in an orderly manner.It seemed that from the moment that person left, her life was like a derailed train, and began to run wildly in an absurd direction.For her, the trajectory of life has become a messy thread, without knowing the source and seeing the result.

And Liang Qian was the pinnacle of this ridiculous life.

Just like now, she was sitting in the brightly lit restaurant on the top floor, dazzled by the radiant crystal lights.Liang Qian sat across from her, and poured wine for her with all the courtesy.

She reached out to block the wine glass he handed over: "I will continue to work tonight."

Liang Qian stepped back, not intending to force the lady to drink at all.Even when he was a bastard, he didn't have the habit of persecuting women. His innate personality made him feel that bullying women was too cheap.

It's just that she must take advantage of it: "I remember that the little beauty used to drink a lot, but now I'm afraid she's too old to get the smell of alcohol."

Dou Huaiye glared at the man, but rarely moved his hands or mouth, just took a sip of tea silently.

Liang Qian knew it was boring, so she picked up the menu and changed the subject angrily: "Is there anything you want to eat?"

The tea here is bitter that Dou Huaiye didn't expect. She flattened her mouth and gently spit out the tea dregs. She was stunned by the bitter taste that lingered on the tip of her tongue for a long time: "I want...to eat coconut chicken."

Liang Qian probably didn't expect what she would really ask for. Dou Huaiye always seemed indifferent to things other than work. It was a rare request today. Of course, Liang Qian had to take a second look. When the two of them ate for the first time, he forced her to taste the dishes.

He added a few more dishes, and ordered a glass of screwdriver for himself, and after handing over the menu to the waiter, he continued to tease Dou Huaiye: "Why, remember the benefits of treating you to dinner?"

Dou Huaiye drank tea slowly: "I don't remember, I just remember that coconut chicken tastes good."

Liang Qian hit a nail, she pursed her mouth and stopped talking.It wasn't until the waiter brought the steaming dishes to the table that Liang Qian became courteous again, sharing a whole chicken with serving chopsticks: "Lieutenant Colonel, let's have a chicken leg."

Dou Huaiye didn't refuse, just watched Liang Qian put the simmered chicken leg into her bowl.The coconut chicken here is very carefully stewed. There is a whole fresh and juicy chicken lying on the bottom of the clear soup. The snow-white coconut meat floats in the soup, and it looks shiny with some oil.

Dou Huaiye lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, then picked a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and ate it.The taste should be lingering on the lips and teeth, but the more she ate it, the more she felt that the coconut chicken here was not as exciting as Liang Qian brought her to eat at the small stall before.

Come to think of it, it probably lacked a share of fireworks.

Liang Qian saw Dou Huaiye put down his chopsticks after taking only one mouthful, and asked with concern, "What's the matter, isn't it to your liking?"

"No..." Dou Huaiye subconsciously denied it, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with this dish, so he could only prevaricate: "I just feel...it's different from what I've eaten before."

Liang Qian also bowed his head and took a sip of the soup, the taste was different from what he remembered.But in terms of heat and skill, how can a small stall on a small island compare with the top restaurants in the imperial capital?It must be a matter of ingredients.

Liang Qian thought for a while, and then she answered Dou Huaiye very seriously: "It must be the problem of coconuts. The imperial capital is far from the south, and coconuts are perishable. The coconuts brought by air are half-baked. Only the locals can use old coconuts." Stewed chicken, so the flavor is stronger."

But Dou Huaiye didn't answer his words, her emerald eyes stared straight at Liang Qian's thick skin, as if she could pry something out of his gleaming mouth like this: "I'd rather I think it’s a matter of mood.”

Liang Qian was not flustered by Dou Huaiye's sudden attack. He took a sip of the cocktail and kicked the ball back with ease: "Oh? Then what advice does the lieutenant colonel have?"

"I used to have a boring life in South Island," Dou Huaiye pursed his lips, thinking about how much he could say, "I'm also afraid that you guys in military uniforms, Major Liang greatly changed my impression at that time, so the coconut chicken I eat gratefully."

"And now, I really didn't expect that I would become the one wearing this skin." Dou Huaiye shrugged, pointed to the rose flower on his neckline, leaned towards the back of the chair, and looked at the other party: "Major Liang That's right, from wanton flirting to being subservient to others, the state of mind must have changed quite a bit."

Liang Qian was taken aback, he didn't expect Dou Huaiye to have such spare time today to use aggressive methods against him.Thinking about it, it was probably because he found someone to monitor the little beauty, which really angered her.The man thought to himself that it would not be good for him to expand the conflict now, so he calmly decided to continue to use a hippie smile to avoid the full smell of gunpowder: "Lieutenant Colonel, you really think highly of me. I was just a dandy before. I relied on my father to live a smooth life, and now that my father is dead, I naturally have to rely on the breath of the lieutenant colonel to live. I can't talk about my mood."

Knowing that Liang Qian started to change the subject again, Dou Huaiye sighed in disappointment.

She knew that he was not just a dude, at least from the moment he picked her up in front of the military academy to take up his post in the technical department after three years of absence, Dou Huaiye knew something had changed.

He still looks like a fool, making jokes and playing tricks, except that things can be done beautifully, he doesn't seem to care about the rest, as if nothing has changed.

It's just that Dou Huaiye knew that, inadvertently, she saw a storm brewing in those frivolous peach blossom eyes.

But what's the use.

Dou Huaiye picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes to cover the disappointment in his eyes.

She wanted to talk to Liang Qian, but he kept avoiding her again and again.Dou Huaiye thought, the relationship between the two of them was just colleagues, plus at most two or three contacts with him, he didn't have that kind of skill, and he had no reason to be so concerned about him.

So she didn't bother anymore: "Old General Liang is a dragon and phoenix among people, and it's really different from someone like you who can't support the wall with mud."

Knowing that Dou Huaiye had given up, Liang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a trace of unreasonable anger floated in her heart.

Why didn't she hold on for a while longer.If she persisted a little longer, maybe she couldn't hold on anymore, maybe she would tell her everything.

In the end, it's just that she is not important enough in her mind, and it's not worth her worrying about herself.

Liang Qian closed her eyes, covering the pain in her eyes.
