love like a shooting star

4.

There was a cramping pain in his stomach, which gradually spread to his entire chest. Shi Jin suddenly woke up, and his eyes were pitch black.This mortal pain, which had at first been unbearable and had now grown into a near-numbing annoyance, often struck him in his deep sleep.After a while, Shi Jin slowly propped up his body, turned on the bedside lamp, and wiped the sweat off his brow casually.

It was this dream again.For many years, the same scene has been repeated in the dream, like a curse entangled him, unable to break free.Maybe he didn't want to break free at all, but was willing to sink into it.

Chang'an Street, Tianan Gate, the brightly lit night...Gao Cheng hugged him so tenderly...the dream repeated itself over and over again...Shi Jin really hoped that he would be intoxicated in this dream forever.

Look at the watch, it's [-]:[-] in the morning, it's just dawn.Shi Jin walked slowly to the window and opened the curtains a little. The city had already begun its initial busyness, and people rushed to their respective goals.

When Shi Jin came out of the bedroom, he saw Wu Liuyi had finished washing, put on his coat and was about to go out.

Wu Liuyi was startled, and immediately noticed Shi Jin's face without a trace of blood. "It hurts again?" He looked at Shi Jin nervously.

"No, I'm going to the bathroom." Shi Jin walked into the bathroom, and after a while there was the sound of flushing water, and then there was a sound from the washbasin. Shi Jin was brushing his teeth and washing his face.

After tidying himself up, Shi Jin took a look in the mirror, his complexion was really not normal, but what can he do?So far, there is only a wry smile.

When Shi Jin came out of the bathroom, Wu Liuyi stood there without moving at all, looking straight at him, Shi Jin smiled: "Haven't you left yet?"

Wu Liuyi wanted to say that I was worried and you felt too hypocritical, so he changed his words and said, "It's still early, go lie down for a while. Breakfast is in the kitchen. When you wake up, heat it up in the microwave. If you can't eat it, eat as much as you can."

"Row."

"The medicine is ready, drink what you have to drink, don't make things difficult for yourself."

"Got it." Shi Jin smiled helplessly, "I used to nag you all the time, but now you nag me all the time, Feng Shui takes turns!"

Wu Liuyi lowered his head slightly, as if embarrassed, Shi Jin pushed him to the door. "If you don't go, you'll be late!"

"Then, I'm leaving." While speaking, Wu Liuyi opened the door, turned his head, Shi Jin was still smiling at him, his pale lips curved nicely, and there was a kind of fragile beauty.Wu Liuyi couldn't help himself for a while, and suddenly hugged Shi Jin into his arms, Shi Jin was startled, struggled twice but couldn't break free, sighed and let him go.This hug lasted for a few seconds, Wu Liuyi let go of Shi Jin, smiled, turned and left.

Shi Jin really wanted to drink some porridge obediently, but just as he put the third spoon into his mouth, the pain in his chest started to haunt him again, so he had to put down the spoon and endure this for a while before talking.In the end, Shi Jin barely drank half of a bowl of porridge and put it aside. Thinking about how sorry he was for the hard work on June [-]st, he felt very guilty in his heart.So his mind turned to the soup, and he poured down a lot without hesitation, his stomach churned and he vomited again.

After tossing like this for a long time, he almost collapsed, Shi Jin fell weakly on the bed with a pale face, and sat up again after a while.Reaching out to open the bottom drawer of the bedside table, the packaging bag with the fat rabbit printed on it stayed there safely.Shi Jin couldn't help but smile, took one out of the bag, opened the wrapping paper and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet milk scent melted on the tip of the tongue, and soon spread to the entire mouth. Shi Jin leaned on the head of the bed contentedly, and slowly closed his eyes.

The bus was extremely crowded, so Wu Liuyi found a place near the door to eat bread.I cooked porridge and medicine early in the morning but didn't take care of myself, so I had to eat something casually to make do with it.Most of the people in the car were commuters who crowded the bus, their stiff and tired faces showed no expression, some were like Wu Liuyi, swallowing breakfast as if they had completed a task, some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, and those with seats simply closed their seats. Eyes to sleep, although nine times out of ten it is impossible to fall asleep.

Arrived.Wu Liuyi was the first to get out of the car, and suddenly he was shocked by the wind. He shrank his neck, then turned up the collar of his coat, and quickly blended into the crowd.

The weather is very bad, gloomy and there is no sign of clearing up. The sun is cut off from the thick clouds. It has been several days in a row, and the smog has always shrouded the city of Beijing.When I came to the gate of a high-end residential area, I could vaguely see the words "Jinyuan Apartment".Wu Liuyi raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was quarter to eight.

This is where he works.Closed the mountaineering club that had been operating in the Northeast for many years, and accompanied Shi Jin to Beijing. Although they had some savings, the two of them could not just sit and eat.It was hard to find a job in Beijing, and Wu Liuyi was worried about Shi Jin's health, so he had to spare time to take care of him, so after weighing it up, he only found a job as a security guard in the community.Two shifts, one day off a week, and a monthly salary of more than 2000 yuan is already the lowest level in a city like Beijing.But it doesn't matter, anyway, everything is only temporary, and he might leave someday.

The reason why Wu Liuyi was able to come to Beijing was entirely for Shi Jin, for the pitiful wish in his squad leader's heart - to stay in the same city with the person he likes, as if staying by his side until he dies.Wu Liuyi didn't know how long Shi Jin's body could last, he didn't dare to think.Whenever he thinks of these things, his mood will be as gloomy and suffocating as the hazy sky.Maybe he had stood on the bus for too long just now, and his injured leg was aching again. He braced his back for a while, and Wu Liuyi collected his mood and walked into the gate of the community.

It's actually pretty easy, it just takes time.High-end residential areas have advanced monitoring and alarm systems, and the security is absolutely top-notch. Wu Liuyi's main job is to register outsiders.

After handing over with his colleagues on the night shift, Wu Liuyi started flipping through newspapers back and forth.Even the news is not new these days. It is common for the events of the previous two days to be written in the newspaper today. Often the same news is read on the mobile phone after waking up, and then listened to on the radio on the bus. , When you get the newspaper in your hand and read it for the third time, it will be like chewing a mouthful of rice and spitting it out before letting you eat it. Not only is it not fresh at all, but it is extremely disgusting.

The morning passed quickly, and it was even more boring if there were no visitors.Lunch was provided by the property management company. Wu Liuyi ate the ordinary boxed lunch with a gloomy mood.After eating, I stand up and exercise my muscles and bones, and my legs don't hurt so much.The smog outside has cleared a lot, and the distant scenery becomes clearer when looking out from the glass window of the security room.Just as Wu Liuyi was about to go out to take a breath, a military jeep broke into view and stopped in front of the community.

Wu Liu was always sensitive to military equipment, so he couldn't help but take a second look at it.The driver rolled down the window and was about to check in.When the two met, they were both stunned.

"Gan-Xiao-Ning!" Wu Liu called out every word, his eyes widened.

"Oh, why are you the class deputy!" Gan Xiaoning jumped out of the car, so excited that he gave a firm hug to Wu Liuyi who pushed the door out.

When he met his former comrades-in-arms, Wu Liuyi's mood immediately improved. The habit of looking at the shoulder badges when he saw soldiers was deeply ingrained, so at this moment, he aimed his eyes directly at Gan Xiaoning's shoulder.

"Okay, you're doing well, you're already a second lieutenant! Except for San Duo, you're the most promising in class three."

"Deputy Wu, you're wrong. Ma Xiaoshuai was promoted to lieutenant last year. I'm an underachiever, thanks to the battalion commander's promotion."

Wu Liuyi smiled and nodded: "Great, you and Xiaoshuai are both good." He knew that the battalion commander Gan Xiaoning mentioned was Gao Cheng, the battalion commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion, and their company commander back then was The company commander that Shi Jin often whispered in his dreams.

"Deputy Wu Ban, why are you here? I've seen all the security guards here, are you new here?"

"I've been here for more than a month. I'm new here, and I can't find any good jobs, so I'll settle for it first." Wu Liuyi smiled, and then glanced at the mighty jeep, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, this is... .Going out on business?"

"Squad deputy, you will find me happy. I'm here to pick up the battalion commander."

"He, does he live here?" Wu Liuyi was very surprised, and at the same time sighed in his heart that this world is really small.

"This is the home of the battalion commander's father-in-law and mother-in-law." Gan Xiaoning said, "The division reconnaissance battalion had a drill some time ago, and the battalion commander couldn't go home. Our sister-in-law is pregnant again, so it's convenient to live here to take care of her. The drill ended last night. The boss is anxious to see my sister-in-law. I have to go back to the camp today, and there are a lot of things waiting for me!"

"Oh...oh." Wu Liuyi was a little dazed, trying to digest the information in Gan Xiaoning's words.Gao Cheng got married a few years ago, but has never had children.He is too busy with work, spends less time with his wife and leaves more. Pregnancy is always out of the question, so his father and his mother are always worried about it.When the comrades-in-arms of the old seventh company got together, everyone couldn't help teasing, saying when the company commander would come out with a whole little tiger, the brothers were eagerly looking forward to hugging!At this time, even the seventh company commander, who is powerful in the regiment, will show a little bit of embarrassment, laughing and scolding a group of bastards without temper.

Shi Jin never showed up at the few gatherings. Wu Liuyi remembered that Gao Cheng pulled him and asked him why Shi Jin didn’t come, so he had to laugh dryly and say that he couldn’t do without the club. It's not that I don't know, doing everything by myself is a life of worrying and suffering.Gao Cheng was silent for a while, feeling a little disappointed, then smiled and said, "If you don't come, don't come, I'm relieved that you are all doing well."

Seeing that Wu Liuyi was distracted, Gan Xiaoning said, "I'll pick you up first, the squad deputy. The battalion commander will be happy to see you later. I'll go first!" After speaking, he jumped into the car and stepped on the gas pedal to drive into the community.

Wu Liuyi stared blankly at the military jeep flying out of sight, his thoughts still lost in the clouds.

Twenty minutes later, Gao Cheng appeared in front of Wu Liuyi, his face full of surprise.Gan Xiaoning said, oh, you are really a big face, the deputy of the class, the battalion commander came here as soon as he heard that you were here, and he wanted to stay with his sister-in-law for a while, but now you are all messed up.Gao Cheng glared and said Gan Xiaoning, you are getting more and more unruly, and when you return to the camp to see if I don't deal with you, Gan Xiaoning shrinks his neck exaggeratedly, showing fear, but in fact there is no fear in his heart.Wu Liuyi stared blankly at the way they were talking, and couldn't help thinking of Qilian back then, his legs seemed to hurt again, Gan Xiaoning was lucky, and himself and Shi Jin...

In the slightly shabby office at the gate of the community, Wu Liuyi rushed to Gaocheng to have fun, not knowing where to start.Yeah, what are you talking about?History today?His biggest concern now is Shi Jin, if Gao Cheng asks him how to answer!Said that Shi Jin was in Beijing, was dying of a terminal illness, and was still thinking about you... no, Wu Liuyi immediately denied this idea.Once he said this, he didn't dare to think about the consequences. Gao Cheng was married and his wife was pregnant, so he couldn't let him know about it.

"June [-], don't tell me when you come to Beijing, that's not right!" Gao Cheng's reprimand was obviously pampering.

"Then what company commander, I'm afraid you're busy." Wu Liuyi felt that his cover-up was far-fetched, but that's all he could say.

"See you! See you!"

"No...I don't..."

"Hey, isn't it good that you were in that club, why didn't you do it?" Gao Cheng pondered slightly, "...Where is Shi Jin? How is he?" As soon as the words came out, he realized that this was when he met Wu Liuyi What I wanted to ask the most afterwards, Gao Cheng was inexplicably flustered.

"The squad leader is still in the Northeast, and the club is pretty good. I don't even think about getting a big city to see the world. How can I get a county-level city as the capital?"

"The truth?" Gao Cheng's eyes were burning on Wu Liuyi's face, as if he didn't quite believe it.

"Look at what you said, why would I lie to you?" Wu Liuyi answered frankly, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He was really not used to lying in front of Gao Cheng.

"You can't just be a security guard."

"Then what else can I do? With my conditions and my leg being injured, I can find a job. No matter what I do, I have been to a big city and seen the capital Beijing. I might go back someday."

"Go back, go back to the northeast?"

"That's right, go back to the mountaineering club run by the squad leader."

"... Shi Jin has always been reliable, and he just let you mess around like this?" Gao Cheng said incredulously.

The more Wu Liuyi laughed, the more guilty he felt: "Hey company commander, how can you say that you are making a fuss! I am here to see the world, and the squad leader can support me."

Gao Cheng shook his head helplessly, always felt that something was wrong with Wu Liuyi, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and was about to continue chatting, when Gan Xiaoning reminded: "Battle Commander, there is no time, if you don't leave in the afternoon, you will not be able to catch up .”

Gao Cheng looked at his watch and frowned: "Oh, it's past one o'clock, June 02, I have a meeting at 30:[-], so I have to go. So, leave me your mobile phone number in Beijing, where do you live? Ah, I'll look for you later." Gao Cheng hurriedly stood up and was about to leave, but he was obviously still waiting for Wu Liuyi's reply.

Wu Liuyi picked up a pen and wrote down a series of numbers on the note, and then handed it to Gao Cheng: "My mobile phone number, company commander, go first, let's call."

"Okay, take care." Gao Cheng took the note and stuffed it into his pocket, then turned and left.

Wu Liuyi looked at Gao Cheng's back until he got into the car and the car gradually moved away, before he relaxed his tense nerves.He sat on the chair a little weakly, worried in his heart, how could he tell Shi Jin about this?

On the other side, Gao Cheng, who got into the jeep, was obviously in a good mood. Although he felt that Wu Liuyi seemed to have something to say to him, the joy of reuniting his comrades overwhelmed the doubts in his heart, and Gao Cheng casually dug out one from his pocket. The big white rabbit stuffed the toffee into his mouth and chewed, and the smile lines in the corners of his eyes stretched.

Gan Xiaoning caught sight of Gao Cheng's expression in the rearview mirror, and asked with a smile, "Battlefield Commander, why do you always see you eating white rabbits?"

"I like it." Gao Cheng replied confidently.

"The squad leader also likes to eat this candy, you two really..." Gan Xiaoning's smile couldn't help but deepened a bit.

Gao Cheng stared: "What do you want to say? If you have nothing to do, go back and run [-] meters!"

"No, no." Gan Xiaoning stuck out his tongue, and quickly concentrated on driving.

However, Gao Cheng's heart was burning with strange emotions, and his eyes became dark.I never liked this kind of sweet and greasy candy before. When did the taste change?After Shi Jin retired from the army, he fell in love with the taste of the big white rabbit toffee. It was sweet and greasy, just like that person's gentle smile.

The author has something to say: I'm exhausted, I haven't edited it yet, the next few days will be very busy, I don't have time to write, so wait a few more days.Guaranteed not to cheat.
