Chapter 204 Critical Moment

Seeing Zhang Jun remained silent, Hou Tianyu continued, "It's okay. If you regret coming here, I can take you back. It can be seen that Lin Xiao and Lin Yao care about you very much, and they must be looking forward to your return."

Hou Tianyu was about to say something else when Zhang Jun interrupted him and said, "Brother Tianyu, have a drink with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Hou Tianyu's response, he stood up and walked towards his room.

Not long after, Zhang Jun came back with a bottle of strong liquor and some snacks. This strong liquor was brought by Lin Yao specially for him at that time. There were only a few bottles, and he was told to drink a few sips to warm himself up when he was cold.

While Zhang Jun was out, Hou Tianyu added some charcoal into the stove, then took out a small folding table from the side of the table and placed it steadily next to the stove.

Zhang Jun put the liquor and snacks on the table, including crispy peanuts and a few skewers of barbecue. At this moment, Zhang Jun was so confused that he had no time to think about whether these would arouse Hou Tianyu's suspicion. He just felt that his heart was like a mess and he urgently needed to vent and sort it out.

Zhang Jun filled a glass with wine, tilted his head back, and drank it in one gulp.

The cold wine, with its spicy and stimulating taste, instantly filled his throat, and then he felt a burning sensation in his stomach. This unprecedented stimulation startled Zhang Jun.

On weekdays, Zhang Jun actually seldom drinks liquor. Most of the time he drinks beer, not to mention drinking such a large glass in one gulp on an empty stomach like he did now.

Seeing this, Hou Tianyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Drink slowly, you still have a wound on your head, and you haven't eaten much today. Eat something first, and I'll drink slowly with you."

Zhang Jun responded, grabbed a few peanuts and put them into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing them, he reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. He took out two cigarettes, put them in his mouth and lit them together, then took out one and handed it to Hou Tianyu.

Hou Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but finally took it. He usually didn't smoke, but in order not to spoil Zhang Jun's fun, he took a puff.

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I knew the situation here would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so tricky. Now, I admire Brother Xiao and Brother Yao more and more."

The two of them drank and chatted casually.

They had no idea that there was a figure outside the door at this moment, it was Zhou Guoqing.

He had just had a heated argument with a group of slick and sophisticated people in the conference room, and he was exhausted. Hou Tianyu was brought up by him, and Zhang Jun was someone Lin Xiao valued very much. The current situation of the base really worried him.

He had originally wanted to let the two young men go and try their luck, but he didn't expect something like this to happen today.

Hearing that two people were talking in the room, Zhou Guoqing did not disturb them and tiptoed back to his room. He also specifically asked others not to disturb Hou Tianyu tonight so that the two of them could open their hearts and have a good chat.

In the room, Zhang Jun and Hou Tianyu drank the whole bottle of wine without realizing it. Of course, most of it was drunk by Zhang Jun alone. Zhang Jun was so drunk that he fell headfirst onto Hou Tianyu's bed.

Hou Tianyu gently re-treated Zhang Jun's wound, bandaged it carefully, and then meticulously covered Zhang Jun with a blanket.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Zhang Jun's face was burning hot.

When Hou Tianyu's hand touched Zhang Jun's cheek, Zhang Jun felt a chill and subconsciously grabbed Hou Tianyu's hand and put it on his face.

Hou Tianyu was shocked by Zhang Jun's sudden action and was at a loss for a moment.

He carefully moved the chair closer to the bed with his other hand, and just sat quietly by the bed, watching Zhang Jun who was sleeping with his arms around him.

I don't know how long I watched it, but Hou Tianyu fell asleep unconsciously. At this time, a small seed called "emotion" had quietly planted in Hou Tianyu's heart, but he himself had not yet noticed it.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Jun slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned to see the unfamiliar environment. With the flickering firelight in the stove, he saw Hou Tianyu sleeping beside the bed, and he was still holding Hou Tianyu's arm tightly.

Hou Tianyu's breathing was even, and it was the first time that Zhang Jun looked at this man so closely and seriously. Perhaps because he had maintained the posture for too long, Hou Tianyu's body felt numb, and he frowned slightly, then fell to one side.

Zhang Jun quickly reached out to support Hou Tianyu, and Hou Tianyu suddenly woke up and saw Zhang Jun who had woken up.

Zhang Jun said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Brother Tianyu, I drank too much and took your bed."

Hou Tianyu quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

Zhang Jun stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to rest. You can come up and sleep."

Hou Tianyu said, "It's okay, it's okay. Just continue to sleep. The fire over there must have been out a long time ago. It's so cold."

As he said that, he reached out and pushed Zhang Jun onto the bed, and tucked him in. Hou Tianyu's touch made Zhang Jun feel a little uncomfortable. He was no longer the naive young man, so he got up and went back to his room.

Hou Tianyu then climbed onto the bed. The warm quilt still retained the scent and body temperature of Zhang Jun. Wrapped in this warmth, he soon fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, Zhang Jun woke up and saw Hou Tianyu, still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Before Hou Tianyu could speak, Zhang Jun took the lead and said: "Brother Tianyu, don't be afraid of difficulties. I believe that we can definitely make a big difference to the Jin Province base!"

Hou Tianyu was stunned at first, then he smiled happily and said several times: "Good! Good! Good!"

From then on, Zhang Jun no longer had any concerns. Under his strong hand, coupled with Hou Tianyu's full cooperation and Zhou Guoqing's silent support, the Shanxi Province base finally gradually took on a new look.

Hou Tianyu and Zhang Jun also became more familiar with each other and no longer felt a little alienated like when they first arrived.

Zhang Jun also secretly used his "golden finger" to improve the lives of Hou Tianyu and Zhou Guoqing every now and then.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. A major earthquake suddenly struck, and they immediately organized the evacuation of personnel and moved them to an open area.

The site was chosen as the base after rigorous surveying and precise calculations, so the casualties were not serious.

After everyone was safely evacuated, Zhou Guoqing suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring a family photo with him. It was the only photo of his mother in the world, and it was of great significance to him.

Hou Tianyu knew how important the photo was to Zhou Guoqing, so he immediately offered to help him get it. Zhou Guoqing didn't want him to take any risks, so he didn't agree.

Seeing the amplitude of the earthquake gradually decrease, Zhou Guoqing was extremely anxious and said, "I'll go in and look for it."

Hou Tianyu hurriedly said, "Let me go with you so that you can get out faster." Zhang Jun, who was standing by, heard this and followed him into the house.

Zhou Guoqing had just received the photos and was about to tell Hou Tianyu and Zhang Jun to go out together, but he didn't expect a bigger shock to suddenly hit.

Amid the roar of the building collapsing, Hou Tianyu pushed Zhang Jun and Zhou Guoqing into the triangular area of ​​the room.

Before the three of them could react, the concrete slab on the roof fell down instantly. Hou Tianyu was quick-witted and opened his arms and leaned forward, like an eagle protecting its chicks to the death, and protected Zhang Jun and Zhou Guoqing tightly under him.

The cement slab pressed heavily on Hou Tianyu's back, Zhang Jun lost his balance and hit the wall, fainting on the spot, and one of Zhou Guoqing's legs was also pinned down, causing him to faint from the pain.
