love like a shooting star

17.

Gao Cheng wanted to get angry at the doctor, but he held back after all, and he let out a long sigh of relief as he watched the push bed gradually go away.Wu Liuyi came over and met Shang Gaocheng's eyes, the anxiety and pain faded away in those eyes, and they were never so calm like this moment.Gao Cheng said sincerely: "Thank you Liuyi, thank you for always taking care of today. I said that I was afraid to let him down, but in the end it was me who hurt him the most. I want to be with him in the days to come and make up for my mistakes. , please complete it."

The corner of Wu Liuyi's mouth curled into a smile: "I don't blame you, the company commander. The squad leader has never blamed you, really. I blame him for getting too deep in himself, even if he is injured, he is willing to do so. This is fate. As for fulfillment... I No qualifications. His heart is on you, and he should have been with you. I have no other ideas, I just hope the squad leader is well."

"...Today will be fine." Gao Cheng murmured.

"It's no good, we all know." Wu Liuyi looked at Gao Cheng, "I mean, as long as he can be happy for the rest of the day."

"I understand." Gao Cheng endured the pain in his heart, and patted Wu Liuyi's shoulder heavily.

Gaocheng and Yingli took a long vacation.The so-called long vacation is a vacation that is extended indefinitely.As a military officer, taking such leave without a special reason is of course not allowed. For this matter, Gao Cheng even asked his father, the commander of the army, for help.

Commander Gao received a call that day, and he couldn't think of talking to his son all year long, so he said, Dad, I have to take a long vacation, and I have something very important to do.Commander Gao listened to his son's calm statement in a daze, and the shock in his heart was beyond description.

"He is very important to me. I want to accompany him to the end. I must do this." Gao Cheng said firmly.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, except for heavy breathing. After a while, Commander Gao asked coldly, "Even if you are asked to take off your military uniform?"

"Yes." Almost without any pause, Gao Cheng's tone was firm.

After finishing the phone call with his father, Gao Cheng began to wait.Without anger or anxiety, he stood in the corridor for hours at a time, just waiting for the short 10-minute visiting time. Wu Liuyi and Cui Ning were surprised by his calmness.

It is said to be a visit, but it is not allowed to approach the patient.Through the thick glass, Gao Cheng looked at the person lying in the sterile space seriously.His eyes caressed the thin cheeks inch by inch, lingering over and over again, as if he couldn't get enough of it, he stared obsessively, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.When he came out of the intensive care unit after the visit, Gao Cheng always looked very satisfied, and told Wu Liuyi about the 10-minute observation experience.

"Originally, today's head was turned to the other side. I kept watching, and slowly turned to my side. I was so happy! Today's complexion is better, and it is still pale. It is better than the one just after rescue." It will be much better in a while... By the way, his eyelashes moved, he probably woke up soon..."

Wu Liuyi couldn't help laughing: "Company commander, you have observed carefully enough."

"I've been watching him carefully for the past 10 minutes, of course!" Gao Cheng said proudly.

Wu Liuyi was still smiling, but there was a burst of sadness in his heart. He was about to say something when his eyes froze over Gaocheng for a few seconds, and he called, "Sister-in-law."

Gao Cheng turns around, and Ji Rou is walking slowly.Gao Cheng went up to meet her, and looked at his wife worriedly: "It's dangerous to run out alone."

Ji Rou said with a smile, "it's okay, just be careful."

Looking at his wife's smile, Gao Cheng suddenly felt guilty: "The hospital is not the place for you, it is not good for the child, I will take you home."

"I can do it myself. I'll go back after a few words." Ji Rou glanced towards the intensive care unit and said softly, "Take good care of him."

Gao Cheng was embarrassed, and was stunned for a while, his face was slightly hot. "The air here is not good, there is a garden downstairs, go there and talk."

"Okay." Ji Rou readily agreed.

Wu Liuyi looked at the two people walking away, slowly leaned his body against the wall, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

The small garden was built in a corner of the hospital, and it was very quiet inside. In summer, there would be green grass and blooming flowers, but now there is only a deserted area, and Gao Cheng and Ji Rou sat down on a bench.

"Is there really everlasting love in this world?... Spring always has an end. The flowers wither and the leaves fall, and it will be a cold winter." Ji Rou said softly, looking at the barren scenery in front of her.

"It's my fault. I haven't taken good care of you. I'm not a good husband." Gao Cheng took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind, "Even so, there is something I must tell you, even though it will make you sad, But only by telling me can I feel at ease..."

"Ah."

Gao Cheng was a little surprised by Ji Rou's calm reaction: "It's... It's about me and him."

"I've always wanted to hear about your time in the army, but you never told me." Ji Rou was actually smiling.

Chief Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze into the distance.At this moment, the lights are just beginning to come on, and every window of the tall building reveals bright and dark flickering lights, like starlight, swaying in this cold winter night.

"It sounds like something happened in my previous life. At that time, the Seventh Steel Company hadn't disbanded, and it was the most arrogant sharp knife company in the whole regiment. I graduated from the military academy and went there to be a platoon leader. He was my squad leader, and later I was promoted to a company commander. , He is still the squad leader. With his ability, it is not that there is no chance of promotion, but he has given up, and he was still the squad leader when he finally left after serving in the army for nine years." Gao Cheng paused and emphasized his tone, "My best squad leader."

Ji Rou listened quietly, her heart fluctuated slightly.Gao Cheng took a look at her, then continued to look at Wanjia Denghuo.

"He declined the opportunity to study in the military academy in the regiment, and insisted on staying in the third squad as a small squad leader. I criticized him for this, but I was a little happy afterwards. At first I didn't understand, no, it should be said that I have never I understand very well. Before he left the army, he said that he wanted to visit the Tianan Gate, and he was crying in my arms on Chang’an Avenue. I felt very uncomfortable, but I still don’t understand.”

"You love him." Ji Rou said regretfully, "I just didn't realize it at the time, because Shi Jin is a man, and this kind of thing is too incredible for you."

"I didn't have the courage to kill him and you too." Gao Cheng was filled with guilt, "I always think of him and his tears on Chang'an Street after I leave the army today. It seems that besides the parting feelings, there is a deeper hidden truth. Things. I often dream that today is crying to me, but when I wake up, I find that it is my own pillow that is wet."

Ji Rou said in a daze, "we didn't know each other then."

Gao Cheng nodded: "I followed him like a demon. I missed him more and more every day. In the winter of the second year after he left the army, I finally couldn't bear to go to the Northeast to find him. I pestered him to take me to climb the mountain. That was the time. ...I kissed him."

Even though she knew that the relationship between her husband and Shi Jin was not simple, Ji Rou still couldn't accept it calmly when Gao Cheng said it himself. She looked at Gao Cheng in surprise and asked in disbelief: "You treat him like that, he What's the reaction?"

Gao Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth with a bit of self-deprecation: "He said that the atmosphere was not right at the time, and told me not to take it to heart, just pretend nothing happened."

Ji Rou was even more surprised, and then said clearly: "Shi Jin is a good man."

Gao Cheng sighed: "I really hate myself, it's not as good as you thought clearly at that time. I had the idea of ​​escaping, but I really believed what he said, and I dated you not long after that... How is it possible, now In retrospect, his love for me is not limited to comrades-in-arms, he just didn’t want to drag me down. He is a person who always thinks about others, and he would rather be wronged than drag others down.”

Ji Rou was silent. She thought that if she had pierced the window paper back then, Shi Jin would not have had to go through so many ups and downs, maybe she would not have been so seriously ill, and Gao Cheng, who realized it later, would not regret it as much as now.But if that was the case, I would never know Gao Cheng, the man I really love.Ji Rou stared at Gao Cheng's haggard but determined side face, and said to herself in her heart, don't you love him, if you love him, then fulfill him.

Seeing his wife's silence for a long time, Gao Cheng said, "I don't have much time today, I want to accompany him to the end."

"Is this your wish?" Ji Rou asked quietly.

"Yes." Gao Cheng replied without hesitation, and then said earnestly, "Xiaorou, I'm sorry."

Ji Rou shakes her head slightly: "don't say that, and don't feel guilty Go take care of him and do what you want."

Gao Cheng was a little surprised by Ji Rou's reaction, but more grateful.When I didn't make it clear before, I saw her worrying day and night, but now she understands when I speak frankly.For Ji Rou, it seems that she has been struggling with something for too long and finally made a decision to give her heart an explanation.

"Take good care of yourself." Gao Cheng held his wife's shoulders and said seriously.

"Don't worry, my child and I are waiting for you at home." At this moment, she saw unprecedented concern and love in her husband's eyes, her eyes became hot, and she almost shed tears.Ji Rou was silent for a moment and said quietly, "I once asked him to leave you, and now I realize how naive I am, how can such a deep relationship be separated, even if the heart is separated, we are still together."

……

Gao Cheng sent his wife away, and as soon as he stepped into the gate of the hospital building, his cell phone rang.

"Six Day, what's the matter?"

Wu Liuyi's hurried voice came: "Company commander, come back quickly, the squad leader is awake!"

Gao Cheng cheered up: "Okay, I'll be there soon."

Without even waiting for the elevator, Gao Cheng ran straight up to the third floor and rushed to the monitoring room in a few steps, just as the medical staff came out surrounded by a push bed.Shi Jin, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes slightly, as if his eyes were covered with mist.

"Today, today!"

Gao Cheng yelled twice, but Shi Jin didn't respond, and the bed kept moving forward.Wu Liuyi followed, and said to Gao Cheng as he walked, "He just woke up, and he can be transferred to the general ward now."

"Why didn't he respond when I called him?"

"I should have heard it. I'm too weak to respond to you."

The two followed the medical staff to the ward, which was a single room. The doctor gave Shi Jin a basic examination, and then said to Gao Cheng: "The patient's signs are basically normal, and he is still very weak. Don't let him talk too much." Gao Cheng nodded in agreement. .

After the doctor left, Wu Liuyi helped clean up and checked that everything was in order, so he said to Gao Cheng: "The company commander, I'll go first. You can accompany the squad leader. If you need help, call me anytime."

"it is good."

Wu Liuyi walked to the door and Gao Cheng stopped him again.

"Six Day!"

Wu Liuyi paused: "What's the matter, company commander?"

Gao Cheng was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Thank you Liuyi."

"Ha!" Wu Liuyi turned around and smiled, but it was a shy smile, "What are you talking about, I'm too far-fetched, company commander."

Gao Cheng was also a little embarrassed: "It's too far-fetched."

"Let's go!" Wu Liuyi waved his hand, and the handsome figure quickly disappeared from sight.
