Chapter 6

The training base for the exercise organization is in city N, which is not too close to city B.

City N is sparsely populated, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, flying sand and rocks, scorching sun, and Gobi quicksand in all directions.However, for soldiers, this test is naturally not a problem.When Gu Huaining mentioned it to his father, Gu Changzhi, the old man was also quite touched. When the People's Liberation Army was stationed in Tibet, the logistics supplies could not be delivered on time, and the lives of the soldiers were also very difficult. The situation is not known how many times worse than it is now.

When Zhao Ganhe is free, he also loves to recall bitterness and think sweetness, which makes the people around him extremely speechless.Gu Huaining was someone who was deeply abused by him, so he simply went in one ear and out the other.All the year round, there are just a few words, "Don't think that we are all children of the compound, and you don't think that we have become soldiers. If we look like this, we will not be able to fall behind anywhere. I think back when my brother and I were recruits, It is the first time for the five-kilometer cross-country every morning! Comrade leader, do you think so?"

Gu Huaining would casually laugh at him every time: "Look at how promising you are, what else can you show off besides the five-kilometer off-road."

yes.Zhao Qianhe admits, but he is not a coward, if he really goes to the battlefield, he will be the one who charges into battle with a gun.

When Gu Huaining just returned to [-], he received a call from the commander of the Shenyang Military Region.To be honest, he was still a little surprised. How could the commander of the Shenyang Military Region call him when he couldn't get along with him? But after so many back and forth on the phone, he finally understood. After hanging up the phone, he asked Zhao Ganhe: "Shenyang The commander of the military region is surnamed Lu?"

Zhao Ganhe glanced at him and joked, "Brother, don't tell me that you don't know such military secrets."

"The commander of the [-] Communications Company is also surnamed Lu."

Zhao Qianhe started to lose his temper, "I said brother, you are kidding me..." After a pause, he understood, "You mean, Shi Yu is——what did you say on the phone? "

Gu Huaining thought for a moment, then pondered: "Just now Commander Lu called and said that he doesn't really want her to participate in this military exercise. I'm not sure what the relationship is, but at least there is a relationship."

Zhao Ganhe couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this: "I said this man is quite straightforward. This matter was decided by the higher-ups, and the direct response to you has already greeted the higher-ups?"

His right hand knocked on the table unconsciously, Gu Huaining nodded slightly: "It's not impossible."

"Then what do you decide to do?"

Gu Huaining thought for a while, and said, "Let her decide for herself." After speaking, he pressed the internal line, and Lu Shiyu answered it quickly.

"Head?" Lu Shiyu was a little surprised when he received her call.

Gu Huaining replied in a low voice, "It's me."

Lu Shiyu smiled, "What's the matter?"

There was a little silence on the other end of the phone, Lu Shiyu expected that something was wrong.Usually, although the two work in the same regiment, most of the conversations are business matters. He has never been so hesitant to speak, and she can't help asking: "What's wrong?"

The other end smiled slightly: "It's nothing serious. Commander Lu of the Shenyang Military Region said that he doesn't want you to participate in this military exercise. What do you think?"

"Lu, Commander Lu?" Her heart skipped a beat.

There was still a calm voice on the other end: "Well, Commander Lu notified me personally, presumably the division also knows, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not."

As if he was about to hang up the phone, Lu Shiyu hurriedly shouted, "Leader!"

"Ok?"

"Commander Lu, Commander Lu is my brother-in-law." Lu Shiyu rarely hesitated, "My father and my mother divorced, and my mother and I will take her last name."

The other end seemed to be startled when he heard that, and Lu Shiyu said even more embarrassedly: "I have received a call from my uncle last night, saying that my mother has not been in good health recently - I think he doesn't want my mother to worry about it." I worry."

After listening carefully, Gu Huaining said, "Shi Yu, this is your private matter, and I won't get involved."

Lu Shiyu couldn't help smiling wryly, what a smart man.

He must be very clear about her thoughts, but he has always taken care of the boundaries clearly, without any crossing.On the contrary, it was her, on the contrary, she never knew how to control herself. When he faced his gaffes again and again, he was alienated and rejected again and again invisibly.

She couldn't help taking a breath and said, "Commander, I request to participate in this military exercise!"

Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows when he heard that, he had worked with Lu Shiyu for a long time, and knew her temper.

He stopped trying to persuade her, but told her: "If you decide, I will naturally have no opinion. Of course, you have to think about the consequences."

"I know."

Gu Huaining heard her reply in a low voice, and hung up the phone without further words.

Seeing this, Zhao Ganhe clicked tut twice, and the lack of response from the person involved couldn't stop him from making noise: "I said, Lu Shiyu has known you for a long time, why are you still so virtuous. I said you and my buddies and I Forget it, but you and the little girl are always cold-faced, how hurtful it is!"

Gu Huaining glanced at him coolly: "Being ruthless is better than being merciful everywhere."

Zhao Ganhe is used to being thick-skinned, so of course Gu Huaining's words can't hit him, but he still has plausible words: "Really, Gu Laosan, tell my buddies, why can't this beauty who shocked even the chief of the military region not shock you?" ?”

There is a reason for Zhao Ganhe's words.

When Gu Huaining was just transferred to No. [-], he happened to meet the military troupe of the Political Department of the military region to express condolences to the troops. Before he could be happy, a notice came from above that the head of the military region would also go to the Jingshan garrison area to have fun with the officers and soldiers of the grassroots troops.So Ye Yuntong, head of the art troupe, gave instructions: This performance should not only be performed, but also performed well.

Unfortunately, just before the show started, a soprano in the troupe was rushing to the performance site, but the driver drove too fast and had a car accident on the elevated road, hurting her leg and making her unable to move.For a while, the entire art troupe was in chaos. The program list had been drawn up long ago, and it was given to the leaders of the military region in the guest seats, so it couldn't be changed.There are not many sopranos in the regiment, and each has performance tasks. There are only a few female soldiers in the communication company in the whole [-] miles. Ye Yuntong scanned around and found that only Lu Shiyu was locked.

Ye Yuntong only heard her sing and pushed her up.

They sang Kunqu Opera.Lu Shiyu was standing on the stage in a military uniform, no matter how nervous and frightened he was, it would be too late.Lu Shiyu simply opened his voice and sang, and the effect was good in the end, winning the audience, even the head of the military region was full of praise.After this performance, no one in the entire division would know Lu Shiyu, a beauty in military uniform.

It just happens that people are absent-minded.

He sat with Gu Huaining during the performance, and everyone applauded together at the end. He turned to him and asked, "Hey, I didn't expect Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in our troupe. How is it, Gu Sanshao?"

I saw Gu Sanshao's brows twitching slightly in his mouth, with a casual expression: "Not bad."

At that time, he wanted to embarrass him, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Where is it good?"

Gu Huaining looked over lightly and didn't say a word.Seeing his expression, Zhao Ganhe didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Zhao Ganhe sighed and pulled it out of his memory. Gu Huaining, head of Gu Huaining, was already standing in front of the bookcase to file the materials, and didn't take him seriously at all.Zhao Ganhe was at a loss, muttering, "Okay, you can do it, you hide deeply, if you don't say anything, you will be suffocated in your stomach." He jumped off the table and walked out.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Gu Huaining smiled in a low voice, calmly: "Okay, make peace, you don't have to test me anymore. You also know the ins and outs of Shi Yu's relationship with me. Besides," he paused imperceptibly After a while, "Besides, I'm married too."

It was the first time Zhao Ganhe heard him say this, and he couldn't help touching his bare forehead: "What's wrong with getting married?"

"If you are married, you have to look like you are married." Comrade leader taught, looked back at Zhao Qianhe's somewhat confused eyes, and smiled, "Forget it, I tell you that you don't understand either. Let's go, go to the shooting range. "

He patted him on the shoulder and walked out.

Leave Zhao Ganhe in a daze, and when he comes back to his senses for a while, he realizes that this kid just buried him.He picked up his hat and chased after the figure who had gone away, and he still kept shouting: "A man with a wife is a cow, stop for me..."

On the first day after Gu Huaining left, Liang He spent in depression.

But there is a good thing anyway, the interview draft submitted by Li Shao was finalized and will be published in the next issue.

Liang He smiled slightly when he heard the words, and continued to look through the manuscript in his hand.Director Li Shao rarely sees her in such a low mood, but he finds it funny and laughs, "Xiao Liang, I heard from Xiao Yang and the others that you were strictly blocked by the editor-in-chief a while ago, why did you pass it now? Don't you look happy?"

Before Liang He could speak, He Anmin, who was sitting next door, came over, "Director Li, reporter Liang is proud of his career and frustrated in love."

Li Shaoqi said, "Hey, that's the thing about daring." He patted Liang He on the shoulder, "Okay, Xiao Liang, don't be bored. If you successfully complete the task, you can ask the editor-in-chief for a reward, haha."

Liang He nodded embarrassingly, and then took another look at Miss He Anmin, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

award?According to Lu Chengwen's work style, it's not bad if he doesn't find fault with you in the second pass.

He Anmin touched Liang He's soft heart with emotion, "Are all married women worried about gains and losses like this?"

Liang He was a little embarrassed to be exposed, so he gave her his hand and left quickly.

He Anmin giggled, caught up with Liang He and held her arm: "Okay, you can only think about lust when you are full and warm. Let's eat first. Fill your stomach!"

Liang He blushed a little, poked someone with bad morals with his arm, and then followed her out.

As soon as he returned to the agency after lunch, Liang He was recruited into the editor-in-chief's office by an internal call from Lu Chengwen.When I walked to the door, I happened to meet Jian Ning.Seeing the livid face, Liang He, who was about to say hello, immediately fell silent.Jian Ning just glanced at her coldly and left quickly.

Liang He was a little puzzled, had she ever offended Jian Ning?Why did she always see herself with such an expression?
After much deliberation, the answer was no, so Liang He was even more puzzled.

Lu Chengwen, who was sitting firmly in his seat in the office, looked innocent. When Liang He came in, he lifted his chin slightly to signal her to sit down, and handed over a magazine.

"This is a sample of the next issue of the magazine, take a look first."

Liang He opened the magazine, and the interview with General Ye Zan was placed in a prominent position. Next to the text, there was a bust of Liang He that he asked for from Ye Lao. , there is a touch of tenderness in the firmness.

Liang He thought for a while and said, "I think I'll also send a copy to Mr. Ye, and it won't be too late for us to log in after he is satisfied."

Lu Chengwen nodded and agreed: "In addition, the interview did not involve any questions about Mrs. Ye's wife. What's going on? When Mrs. Ye's wife passed away the year before last, a large number of people went to express their condolences. It stands to reason that the two should be husband and wife. Why don't you ask these questions?"

Liang He remembered Gu Huaining's instructions: "This is Ye Lao's taboo, so it's inconvenient to mention it."

Lu Chengwen frowned slightly, and nodded: "Since there are taboos, don't ask."

Liang He smiled and continued flipping through the samples.Suddenly a sapphire blue box stretched out in front of him, Liang He was a little surprised, raised his head and opened his eyes wide to look at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen's expression was calm: "Accept."

"Editor-in-Chief, this..." Liang He was flattered, looking at the box and didn't know what to do.

"It's nothing, I bought it because I think it suits you very well." Lu Chengwen looked at her lightly, "It can be regarded as my encouragement to you."

"I, I haven't done enough. You don't need to spend money..." Liang He tried to decline.

Lu Chengwen smiled when he heard the words: "Then just work hard enough."

When he said this, and it was related to work, it was difficult for Liang He to refuse. If he refused again, it would mean that he was "not active in work and had a problem with his thinking."So Liang He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take it. He went out of the office and hid in the bathroom to open it. It was actually a brooch.

The beautiful blue petals were inlaid with white diamonds, and she couldn't take her eyes off of them.But not long after, Liang He felt a little worried again.

"What is this..."

Liang He grunted and closed the box.

When getting off work, Liang He saw Feng Zhan waiting 50 meters away from the gate of the magazine office. Earlier, Gu's mother had called and ordered to go back to the garden after get off work at night.Speaking of which, Liang He was a little frustrated.Except for Gu Huaining, none of the three sons of the Gu family lived in City C. The eldest son, Gu Huaiqing, worked in the south, while his wife and daughter stayed in the south.The second son Gu Huaiyue, like Gu Huaining, stayed in City B to work all year round.

In this way, the only ones staying in City C are Gu Jiaming, Xiao Huanzhai, Liang and the little girl.Li Wan always felt that the house was deserted, so he called Liang He back to the garden from time to time. Feng Zhan's car showed up at the door more and more frequently. Everyone in the magazine knew that reporter Liang was being picked up every day now, and he still had a military license plate.When the discussion came out, Liang He was a little restless.But afterward He Anmin raised his face, Liang He struggled for a while, and finally dealt with it calmly.She understood a truth, since she is married to the so-called "rich family" of the Gu family, how can she not pay attention to appearance.

When I returned to Gu Garden, I didn’t see Gu Jiaming, the little scourge who ran out to meet him at the first time. Feng Zhan explained that Gu Huaiyue sent him to his grandma’s house in the suburbs of City C. Liang He couldn’t help but feel even more depressed. She still can't adapt to facing the two elders of the Gu family alone.

Just thinking about it, when he opened the door, he saw a young man in military uniform sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. The newspaper covered more than half of his face, leaving only half of the military uniform exposed. Liang He was emotional at first But when he glanced at the man's military rank, he immediately calmed down.There are more stars on the epaulettes than Gu Huaining's, obviously not Comrade Leader.

And the man suddenly put down the newspaper, Liang He raised his head and met a pair of black eyes.The second elder brother, Gu Huaiyue, carried the newspaper with a smile and looked at Liang Hesang's expressions, finding it very interesting.

"Second, Second Brother." When the matter came to a critical juncture, Liang He stuttered again.

Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly, "Are you disappointed?"

Liang He stood there with his head bowed and laughed twice, pretending to be stupid.

"The last time I saw you at [-] was disturbed by the brat, I didn't have time to say more. I heard that the brat caused you a lot of trouble."

"No, I really like Jiaming." Liang He swore it was from his heart.Although Gu Jiaming is a small scourge, he is also a cute baby.

Gu Huaiyue smiled and nodded, just as he was about to say something, Mrs. Zhang came and asked the two of them to eat.

Old man Gu still placed a bottle of Moutai wine, but this time the old man switched to drinking alone, and Gu Huaiyue didn't drink at all.Mr. Gu likes to lecture at the dinner table, which Liang He has long experienced.But she couldn't imagine what an outstanding son like Gu Huaiyue could make the old man talk about.

Although this time, he only met roughly twice, but Gu Huaiyue left a very good impression on Liang He.He inherited the beauty of his mother Li Wan, and like Gu Huaining, he looks very good, and he also has a unique style when he wears a military uniform.Unlike Gu Huaining, the second brother seems to be more peaceful, more smiling, and approachable.

As soon as Mr. Gu sat down, he looked around and asked, "Where is Jia Ming, where did the little guy go?"

Gu Huaiyue took a sip of warm water lightly, and replied flatly, "I missed him in the East City, so I sent him there."

The other side of the east city refers to Gu Jiaming's grandmother's house.

When the old man heard this, his expression changed immediately.Picking up the crutches that were placed aside and hitting them hard, he said in a bad tone, "I think about it every day, I think about it every day, is the child's surname Gu or Lin?"

Gu Huaiyue didn't change his face, "She is the child's grandmother, seeing her grandson, she has nothing to criticize. As a junior, it's hard for me to refuse the old man's request."

"That can't be sent there by the sky." The old man said angrily, "I will pick it up tomorrow."

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Li Wan hurriedly winked at Gu Huaiyue, but he didn't even look at it, and threw out a sentence forcefully, "I want to pick you up, I can't do it."

A dinner meeting collapsed, and the old man was so angry that his face was livid.Liang He had been in Gu's house for so long, and he had never seen Mr. Gu so angry. Gu Huaiyue's face was not so ugly, but it seemed that he was enduring it.

Li Wan comforted the old man: "When will you two be able to have a serious meal, there are still people watching, can you save face for each other?"

Hearing this, Liang He finally understood that Li Wan called her here to act as a restraint, so that they could give each other room in front of her.She couldn't help smiling wryly, Gu's mother Li Wan must be disappointed, her aura is not that strong and she can't support it.

Gu Huaiyue stopped smiling, stood up and patted Liang He's shoulder as a comfort, and then walked straight out of the restaurant.

This relentless back made the old man so angry that he pointed at Li Wan and said, "You still say me, when will this second child improve? After so long, do you want to torture yourself to death for Lin Ke? "

Of course, Liang He didn't understand the meaning of Mr. Gu's words. Li Wan winked at her, and she obediently got up and followed Gu Huaiyue's back.After getting along for so long, Li Wan's occasional winks indicated that she could still understand. At this moment, Li Wan just wanted her to keep Gu Huaiyue.

Gu Huaiyue didn't go far, Liang He saw him as soon as he came out of the hall.He stood in front of the garden in the yard, lost in thought. Liang He couldn't get close, so he had to follow behind him.Instead, Gu Huaiyue turned his head, looked at her, and smiled slightly.

"I haven't come back for so long, and I'll let you see a joke when I come back."

The self-deprecating meaning in the words was so obvious that Liang He shook his head quickly.

"Second brother also has his own difficulties. However, the old man is old after all."

Gu Huaiyue still smiled lightly, but his gaze was a little far away, as if he was thinking.

Liang He remembered the name that the old man mentioned, and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, I would like to ask. Who is Lin Ke, and how can I make the old man so angry?"

Gu Huaiyue was startled for a moment, and Liang He couldn't help but regret asking this question.Perhaps this topic is the forbidden zone of the second brother.

Seeing that he had frightened her, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help but calm down, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's nothing. Lin Ke is my wife, Jia Ming's mother. Jia Ming had a dystocia and passed away."

He died? !Liang He was taken aback in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Second Brother. I, I..." Liang He lowered his head, deeply regretting that he had awakened his painful memory.

However, Gu Huaiyue patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, let's go in and eat, and tell Mom that I'll go back first."

"Go back to City B?"

"No, I have a house here, I'll go back there to live." After a pause, Gu Huaiyue continued, "Jia Ming, this little bastard, I have to trouble you to take care of him, I can see that he likes you. A woman can make this brat so clingy."

Liang He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Since I have said more, I will say one more thing."

The solemn tone made her look up at him, her black eyes seemed to shine brightly under the dim light.

"Huaining has been watched by me for so many years, and I know his suffering." Gu Huaiyue looked at Liang He's surprised expression, and continued, "I think he never told you, and you don't have to." Just deliberately ask, just live with him well."

Him, what has he suffered?Liang He couldn't help but want to ask, but looking at Gu Huaiyue, she could only say: "I, I know..."

Gu Huaiyue smiled, patted her on the shoulder, turned and left.

Liang He stood where he was, letting the cold night wind blow past suddenly, suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed.

Gu Huaining, what will his past be like?
There are still a few days before the military exercise will officially start.

Before leaving, [-] and the entire division headquarters were in constant meetings, keeping people busy.

Today's meeting was held at the division headquarters on a special trip. Zhao Ganhe was a little bored listening to it, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the chief, so he could only glance at Gu Huaining in private. During the three-hour meeting, this guy sat there completely motionless, even if he was distracted, you would never notice it.

After finally surviving the meeting, Gu Huaining and Zhao Ganhe went back to the regiment headquarters together, and Zhao Ganhe couldn't help but start making noise as soon as he got in the car.

"The leaders of the division are so nervous, it seems that this time they have to work hard."

Gu Huaining glanced at him, "What do you say?"

Zhao Ganhe sneered, "I heard from our old man that the Blue Army has added a special force. Look at the spectacle."

"No matter how big the ostentation is, what's the use? If you can't win, talk about nothing."

The car turned steadily around the most winding corner of Jingshan, Zhao Ganhe leaned on the passenger seat and looked at Gu Huaining with a calm expression.If these words were placed in someone else's place, Zhao Ganhe would think that that guy was talking big, but Gu Huaining was different. He couldn't tell what was different. He always felt that this person had never failed, and he had never failed in the past 31 years. It's been so smooth.Since he was a child, Zhao Ganhe said that if anyone can give Gu Huaining a crush, he will guarantee that he will give him first-class merit, but this wish has not yet been fulfilled.

Suddenly his mind changed, and he asked, "Hey, let me tell you, if you leave your wife alone in City C, can she handle it?"

"What?" Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows and asked back.

When Zhao Ganhe heard this, he was overjoyed: "Don't tell me you haven't thought about this problem. Think about it, a little girl, not only has to stay alone for a long time, but also has to deal with a group of elders in your family, can it be okay?"

In exchange for Gu Huaining's cold glance at these words, Zhao Qianhe couldn't help but reflect.That’s right, it’s as if their house is like a dragon’s lake and a tiger’s den, but Zhao Ganhe thinks about it carefully, the group of children in their compound were fearless as landlords when they were young, and they can make a lot of noise when they go to anyone’s house, but they can’t do it alone. Gu Huaining's family can't do it alone.

Every time I went to his house, I had to change my shoes at the door, and greet Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu in a regular manner.When Gu Huaining was born, Mr. Gu was already in his 30s. He was a remarkable person in front of these children, and he didn't think it was a big deal to say hello every time they met.On the contrary, Gu Huaining's mother, every time she sees these children, her first expression is to frown, as if they are a bunch of little troubles.

Zhao Qianhe concluded: "Don't believe me, every time I go to your house and see your old man, I can think of a painting." After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Huaining's face, hesitating to say or not

As soon as Gu Huaining saw his posture, he understood, and snorted: "Say."

Zhao Ganhe thought for a while, and said, ""American Gothic", the two in your family are simply a replica of the two solemn old men and women in this painting!"

Gu Huaining couldn't help laughing when he heard this, there really is such a kid.After being ridiculous, he calmed down, but couldn't help wondering whether Liang He could handle it.In fact, he wasn't very worried about this problem before, but Zhao Qianhe made the reality too obvious today, and he couldn't help but think about it.When he thinks about it, Liang He actually has his own way. If he doesn't go online with you, he will admit his mistakes, and if he can't do it, he will pretend to be stupid.This girl looks silly, but actually she is clever when she thinks about it carefully.

But even with this thought, after returning to the dormitory, Gu Huaining took off his hat and decided to call Liang He.Before coming, he told her not to shake the morale of the army, but Liang He really didn't make a single call, so he had to take the initiative.The phone beeped for a long time before it was answered. Her voice came from the other end, muffled, as if she had just woken up.

"Hello."

He was silent for a while, and then said: "It's me."

Liang He on the other end was also taken aback when he heard the voice. Last night he tossed and turned over Gu Huaiyue's words, and finally fell asleep at [-]:[-] in the morning. Today he was forced to work overtime until [-]:[-], and immediately collapsed on the bed when he got home. , the phone kept ringing endlessly before she slept for a while, thanks to her not getting up, otherwise Gu Huaining would definitely be bombarded.

Gu Huaining seemed to be conniving at her silence at the moment, he wouldn't open his mouth if she didn't speak.

Liang He stared at the small flowers on the bed sheet for a long time, and then let out a low sound, with the soft feeling of just waking up.

The other end immediately smiled lowly: "It sounds like I'm in a bad mood."

"It's okay." Liang He shook his head and asked, "Are you finished? When will the exercise start?"

"It's almost almost there. Have you looked back at the garden during this time?"

"I'm back, I went back last night." Liang He said, hesitating for a while, but he still told the story of meeting Gu Huaiyue.

Gu Huaining was a little surprised: "Second brother?"

"Ah."

"Heh." Gu Huaining smiled lightly, "It's probably going to be a mess."

After all, they are a family, and they can understand each other's tempers. After pondering for a moment, Gu Huaining told her: "The conflict between the second brother and the old man is not a day or two, so don't get involved."

It seemed a bit cold in the room, and Liang He, who was wrapped in a quilt, responded in a low voice.

Hearing this voice, Gu Huaining, who was weak, knew that she was tired. Before talking a few words, Liang He's voice gradually weakened, as if he was about to fall asleep.Gu Huaining had no choice but to hang up the phone and let her go to sleep, and Liang He also hung up the phone decisively.

Facing the short beep coming from the receiver, Gu Huaining couldn't help but find it funny.

Tell me, can he worry about such a heartless girl?
The [-]th anniversary celebration of "Pioneer" magazine is coming soon. At the end of this month, everyone's salary will be raised by [-]% as an extra bonus. Not only that, the editor-in-chief Lu Chengwen also announced that it will be held in the largest hotel in the city Celebrating the party, the club suddenly exploded.

The "Pioneer" magazine can be said to enjoy a very high reputation in the country, and it is the leader in the newspaper industry in City C.Due to the special nature of the magazine, it is inevitable that some sensitive topics will be involved. However, since the publication of this magazine, it has hardly encountered any doubts from relevant departments, because the previous editor-in-chiefs of the magazine are all people with strong backgrounds.From the cutting-edge industry of the important news award, down to the queen with a deep political background.

Lu Chengwen, on the other hand, may be the person with the deepest background in "Pioneer" since it was printed.Each identity has been guessed over and over again, but none of them have been definitively confirmed.

Liang He heard all this from He Anmin, but she didn't have time to inquire about it now, the big bed that was originally neat was now covered with a pile of clothes, all kinds of dresses looked dazzling.Liang He hesitated left and right, still unable to make up his mind.He Anmin watched anxiously, and with a big wave of his hand, he stuffed a dress into her arms.

"That's it!"

Liang He picked it up and saw that it was a black evening dress. He couldn't remember when he bought it and brought it home.At this time, I still hesitated when I picked it up and said, "Will it be too revealing?" How to say, she is also a married woman.

He Anmin couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Anyway, you are also a person who has received four years of advanced foreign education, why are you still so stupid? If you want to reveal this, can you still wear a bikini?!" Put it on, and finally took out a brooch from the box, which looked just right when matched.

Looking at the watch again, the time was running out, and the two hurried to the hotel.

According to He Anmin's words, Liang He has already married into a wealthy family.Even though Gu Huaining's military rank is not high, the title of this red nobleman is quite resounding.Since he married into a rich family, he should have seen a lot of worldly things, but Liang He was still a little surprised when he arrived at the hotel.

Surrounding the people present, many of them are VIPs who show up on TV from time to time. Now they hold wine glasses and stand beside Lu Chengwen. Without the airs, they make Lu Chengwen superior , a great identity.

They had never seen Lu Chengwen like this before, and He Anmin, who was standing aside, couldn't help but gasped, and stood aside, pulling Liang He's arm, she almost cried out in pain.

"Why do I feel like a State Council meeting is being held in a hotel?"

Liang He glanced at her embarrassingly, then raised his head to meet Lu Chengwen's gaze.A custom-made suit was lined with a white shirt, which made him tall and tall, black and white.His gaze seemed to fall on her brooch, and he stared at it for a while, and there seemed to be a smile in his alienated and indifferent eyes.

He nodded slightly to her, and then turned around to deal with the people around him. The whole process was polite and polite, and it was not at all obvious that he had just deserted.

Miss Liang stared at the brooch, but couldn't help feeling annoyed.The diamonds inlaid on the petals of the blue iris were so dazzling that it almost hurt her eyes.Why, he just brought this brooch.

He Anmin didn't seem to notice the turbulent undercurrent between the two, and in a blink of an eye, he grabbed Liang He's arm and couldn't stop screaming: "Liang He, look, who is that?!"

Liang He looked in the direction He Anmin pointed, and was also taken aback for a moment.It turned out to be Jian Ning? !

I am used to Jian Ning's old-fashioned look in professional suits and black-rimmed eyes, but today she can be described as completely reborn.The black-framed glasses were replaced by a pair of champagne-colored thin-framed eyes, which echoed the lining of the same color of the dress, making the whole person look noble and elegant.

Jian Ning naturally also saw Liang He and He Anmin, smiled coldly, and walked straight to Lu Chengwen.She is Lu Chengwen's supervisor hired from Princeton University with a high salary. Standing with him at the moment, she looks very suitable.

"I guess her outfit is specially for editor-in-chief Lu to see."

Liang He glanced at her with a smile: "Don't make it so bad."

He Anmin gave her a look of resentment, "I really don't know whether to say you are stupid or innocent, the entire magazine knows Jian Ning's Sima Zhao's heart for Lu Chengwen!"

Liang He couldn't help being taken aback: "You, you mean that Jian Ning is interested in Editor-in-Chief Lu?" After speaking, Liang He couldn't help but suddenly realized, no wonder Jian Ning always had an extremely indifferent expression when he saw her go to Lu Chengwen's office , Could it be that I misunderstood something?
God, this is outrageous.Liang He could not bear a chill.

After Lu Chengwen gave a brief speech, the party officially started. There were mostly young people in the magazine. Although there were many VIPs present, it did not affect the atmosphere. Everyone was still very excited.

He Anmin claimed that he was going to fish for golden turtles, so he left Liang He in the corner and walked away calmly.Liang He was dull and bored, and she was very hungry, so she took a piece of cake and started to eat. Anyway, the light was dim, and she was hiding here so no one could see her.

As expected, it is the only hotel in C city that has a Michelin three-star cake chef. A simple piece of chocolate mousse almond cake is so delicious and soft.

Liang He was so excited that he accidentally choked.She began to frantically look for water to drink, when suddenly a goblet was handed to her, Liang He grabbed the quilt before she could thank her and began to drink it, the sweet and sour taste of champagne filled her abdomen, she couldn't help but coughed out, stuck in the The food there was finally swallowed.

She looked at the person in front of her with a flushed face under the dim light, and was surprised when she saw it clearly.Unexpectedly, it was Lu Chengwen? !

This time the embarrassment can be thrown at grandma's house!Liang He wailed in his heart.

Lu Chengwen watched her face change, and knew what she was thinking.He didn't point it out, he just patted her on the back lightly, and the cold touch hit her all over.

She forgot that her dress was somewhat backless.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward for a while, Liang He gritted his silver teeth and scolded He Anmin who had forgotten his friends after seeing sex: The culprit, the culprit, the culprit! !

However, Lu Chengwen was very knowledgeable, and he quickly realized that he said unintentionally: "I heard that reporter Liang went to university abroad?"

The topic change was too obvious, Liang He was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Yes, Bristol University in the UK"

After hearing this, Lu Chengwen smiled slightly, "What a coincidence, it turns out that we are not only colleagues, but also alumni."

"School, alumni?" Liang He asked uncontrollably.

And Lu Chengwen nodded quickly: "That's right, alumnus."

Liang He was in a mess for a moment, and when she was about to ask something more, the lights in the hall were suddenly turned on, and the light made her unable to open her eyes. The young master of ceremonies announced on the stage that it was time for Dancing, and specially invited Lu Chengwen to come on stage .Everyone cheered, and Liang He stood by Lu Chengwen's side and also attracted attention.Lu Chengwen, who was originally serious, seemed to be in a good mood today. He patted her on the shoulder lightly and left like a gust of wind, leaving her alone in a daze, as if he was severely hit by Lu Chengwen's "alumni theory".

At the end of the dinner, He Anmin drove Liang He home. As soon as he got in the car, Liang He sat up straight and asked He Anmin: "How did Lu Chengwen come to the magazine, do you know?"

He Anmin smiled brightly, "You're asking the right person. Who am I, the veteran of the three dynasties of the magazine! Who can escape my eyes from personnel changes?"

Liang He couldn't help but wonder, she knew how He Anmin, the elder of the three dynasties, came to be.The last two editor-in-chiefs of the magazine were the children of high-ranking cadres, and they came here for fun, and they left within a year.According to what He Anmin said, the magazine staff don't talk about the veterans of the three dynasties, but there are piles of people from the four dynasties and five dynasties. Liang He pushed her and told her to speak quickly.

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, it is said that he came with a Pulitzer Prize. It seems to be a Pulitzer Prize for American History? Then he became the editor-in-chief as soon as he came."

Liang He sat upright, thought about it silently, then suddenly turned his head and asked He Anmin: "You, did you mean the Pulitzer Prize?"

"That's right." He Anmin looked at Liang He in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Pulitzer Prize.She still remembered that her university professor once mentioned a person in class. The reason why she was so impressed was not because of this person, but because her professor was really a rigid old pedant who didn't like to praise others, but for what he mentioned He praised this person.

That person's English name was Laurence, a very common name. He was just a 24-year-old Chinese man at the time, but he won the Pulitzer Prize for writing American historical works in one fell swoop, which caused a sensation at the time. Bliss A tenured professor at the Tower College of Humanities and Arts offered him an olive branch for this.

Her professor said that this classmate, whose main occupation is engineering, has never audited any courses in the Faculty of Humanities.He has only seen one such bright student so far, and that is Laurence LU.
Laurence Lu.
Is it Lu Chengwen?It can only be him.

Liang He came back to his senses silently, met He Anmin's puzzled eyes, and smiled lightly: "It's okay."

She was just, so shocked.

When the car drove to the gate of the community, Liang He suddenly saw a familiar car.A green cheetah car with a military license plate parked steadily at the gate of her community.She was very surprised to see it here, because it is usually parked in Gu Yuan's garage.

Liang He suddenly had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked He Anmin to stop, got out of the car, walked forward and knocked on the window.

The car window slid down, Liang He saw Feng Zhan's slightly worried face through the gap, and Liang He saw Gu's mother Li Wan sitting in the back seat with an expressionless face.My heart suddenly tightened again.

Li Wan quickly got out of the car, looked back at Feng Zhan who wanted to follow, and said, "You stay in the car."

Feng Zhan had no choice but to sit down awkwardly.

When Li Wan saw Liang He, he wanted to ask her why she came back so late, but when her eyes touched her nondescript clothes, her face tensed up, and she couldn't help but sternly said, "Where are you going? How are you wearing it?" If you look like this, you still..." I almost uttered these four words, topless and backless, but I was afraid that it would be insulting to the gentlemen, so I held back my lips.

Liang He shrank his pupils and said, "There is a celebration reception in the club, and I went to it."

Seeing her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Li Wan couldn't get angry: "Did you drink?"

"Drink a little." She drank that glass of champagne in a hurry, and some of the dress was stained. She couldn't hide the smell of wine even if she wanted to.

When Li Wan heard this, she became angry again: "Look, when Huaining was here, he still tried everything possible to protect you from drinking. You still remember how you vomited when you got married, why don't you know how to love you?" With a body of my own size, if there is a mother in my stomach who is still here drinking out of tune, can you tell me that this is okay?"

Thinking of the child, Liang He, couldn't help but darken his face. There was one time between them. Afterwards, they were still in a safe period, and the possibility of having a child was completely zero. It must have been the words and promises made at the dinner table that day that made Li Wan fell in love and saw Tian'er's grandson.

"I, I'll pay attention next time." Liang He searched hard.

In the winter, the night wind is freezing enough.Liang He wore little clothes, and his nose was red from the cold.He Anmin, who was sitting in the car, couldn't bear to watch it, and at this moment, who didn't want to get involved, also came down, grabbed Liang He's shoulders, and said to Li Wan obediently: "Auntie, I'm coming with He He tonight. , she didn't drink much."

Li Wan took a deep look at her and said nothing more.Liang He knew that Li Wan didn't want to hurt each other's face, and this was the most important thing in front of outsiders.She opened the car door and took out a thermos bucket and handed it over, her tone eased: "This is a stewed soup from a newly opened shop on Binhai Road. It’s cold too, let’s go back and warm it up to drink.”

Liang He nodded, took it, and watched Gu's mother Li Wan get into the car and leave, his body softened immediately.

He Anmin supported her worriedly, Liang He smiled softly, "Didn't you always think that she has a strong aura and dare not approach her, why did you dare this time?"

He Anmin pinched her nose angrily: "You can do it, you still know how to laugh at me now, I don't know who was scolded by her just now, who will protect you if I don't protect you?"

Liang He put his head on her shoulder when he heard this: "Minmin, sleep with me tonight, I'm alone."

He Anmin's heart trembled when he heard the loneliness in the words, and he hugged her: "Let's go, young master, I will be wronged to accompany you for one night."

Liang He, who was stiff from the cold, went to take a bath to warm up as soon as he entered the house. When he got out of the shower, his phone buzzed. When he opened it, he saw that it was a text message from Feng Zhan.

"Today, the old lady went to a friend's gathering. On the way back, she kept thinking about her grandson. No, the soup was delivered to your door, but when you arrived at the door, you were not there, and no one answered the phone. I was in a hurry and told you to say goodbye. Take it easy."

Liang He flipped through the text messages while wiping his hair, and when He Anmin snatched the last one, he read it for a while and threw it into the sofa with a snort.

Liang He couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? The phone didn't bother you and didn't bother you."

He Anmin sank into the soft sofa, frantically pressing the remote control, still filled with righteous indignation, "I just can't get used to her posture, isn't she just an old woman over fifty years old."

Liang He was used to her venomous tongue, but she couldn't hear it when the target was Gu Huaining's mother, so she pushed He Anmin and stopped her from speaking.

He Anmin glanced at her sideways and muttered: "I tell you, this secret war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is endless, especially behind this red-walled compound. You have two ways out now, or fight her to the death It's up to you. Either you abduct her son, leaving her eyes clean and driving her to death."

Hearing this, Liang He immediately sneezed, and hurriedly found a tissue to cover it up, and blocked He Anmin's mouth by the way: "Look at you, what I told you to say will be punished by God!"

He Anmin nodded her forehead, "Let me tell you, there is a disease in the world called a cold! You just continue to be worthless!" After speaking, she got up, took out a few pears from the refrigerator, and boiled pear water for her to drink.

Liang He hugged the pillow and scratched at the kitchen door in a daze.After thinking about it carefully, what He Anmin said was quite reasonable, she just didn't have any future and dared not argue with Li Wan, she behaved meekly as a good daughter-in-law, even He Anmin couldn't bear to scold her.Liang He couldn't help asking himself if the daughter-in-law here was really too useless?

As soon as He Anmin turned around, seeing Liang He standing there in a daze, she became anxious: "What are you doing standing there, do you want to catch a cold?"

Liang He smiled at her: "It's okay, I just wanted to tell you that this is the first time I've opened a kitchen in half a month, and you're the one in charge, isn't it an honor?"

He Anmin glared at her, then looked up at the rows of neat and beautiful kitchen utensils, and suddenly felt panicked.

After the pear water was boiled, put it on the dining table, poured out a bowl for Liang He and He Anmin, then went to the sofa to touch her mobile phone, checked her address book for a long time, but to no avail, she had to look up and ask Liang He: "Hehe, your husband's name is Gu What's going on?"

Liang He, who had just taken a sip of pear water, almost choked for the second time tonight. After swallowing, he coughed for a long time before he could speak: "What, what are you doing looking for his phone number? You can't call at such a late hour." After thinking about it, He added: "The military exercise seems to be about to start."

He Anmin didn't care about these things: "If you don't say anything, I'll dial out if I meet someone surnamed Gu. I don't care if I disturb the people in the middle of the night, but I'm using your mobile phone anyway!"

Liang He really had a cold, and his whole body was weak, even if he snatched the phone, he couldn't snatch her away, so he gritted his teeth and threw out three words: "Gu Huaining."

He Anmin pressed a few keys contentedly and dialed out.The phone beeped for a long time, and even Liang He's heart was suspended for a long time. He was stuck there uncomfortable, and just about to grab the phone and press it, the call suddenly connected.He Anmin quickly put the phone in her hand and motioned for her to pick it up.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, Gu Huaining's deep and hoarse voice could be heard very clearly: "Liang He?"

Listening to the voice, he seemed to be awake. She took a breath, picked up the phone and put it to her ear: "It's me."

When someone finally answered the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"

Answering the phone was too hasty, she didn't know what to say for a while, and she hesitated for a long time before saying: "I, I have a cold."

Gu Huaining was silent for a while, Liang He thought he was speechless when he saw this, and hurried to make amends: "I drank pear water, I'm fine."

He could only hear a low smile, and his voice came through the radio waves, mixed with a little noise, but it was still so clear and true to his ears: "How about just drinking pear water, you have to see a doctor, if you can't, just call Call Feng Zhan, in short, don't deal with it."

For some reason, when she heard his voice, her nose became sore and her eyes were slightly red.It's like a child who falls down and doesn't feel pain or cry, but the parents feel wronged when they coax them.She hasn't had this feeling for a long time, and she hasn't felt it since the moment her parents passed away.

Now this feeling is so strange that she doesn't know how to resist it, and she can't resist it either.

After a while, she sniffed: "It's too late, wait until tomorrow."

"Well, there is medicine in the second drawer of the bedside table, drink a few first." He told her.

"Oh." Liang He responded softly, "Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Liang He stared at the phone in a daze.And He Anmin sat aside and carefully looked at her expression.Liang He was furious: "What's wrong?"

He Anmin immediately sighed twice: "I really want to get you a mirror so you can see your blushing face."

Liang He immediately covered his face, and made a fuss with He Anmin with a whimper.
