I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 131

On the way back to the dormitory, Morris ran into an acquaintance who he didn't expect to meet here.Charifna, who was dressed in a simple military uniform, was standing not far away looking at him with a pile of things in her arms.The sun hit her wine-red hair, making the already rich red even hotter.It's a pity that the face under the red hair is now full of anger.And when she saw Morris walking towards her, the expression on her face turned into teasing.

"Hey, hero, it's finally time for you." Charifna waited for Morris to approach, and threw something in her hand to him. Morris reached out to catch it and found that it was a new set of Marine Corps combat uniforms.His original body was damaged and unusable in those few days of fighting.

"Why are you here?" At the end of the internship period, Morris remembered that she also returned to the capital galaxy together.

"Then why are you here? You have become a hero of Tequisas. I heard those little girls in the logistics department talking about you a few days ago." Charifna replied with a sneer, and followed Morris towards the officer's dormitory in the large area. go.After his promotion to captain, Morris was notified that he was assigned a single room in the officers' quarters.

Morris ignored the sarcasm in Charifina's words, because he could indeed be considered to have escaped from the capital galaxy to the front fortress.When faced with a choice, he chose to escape.He has neither the courage to completely break with the family, nor the courage to give up the love in his heart.Sometimes, he also thinks back on his past life, but it was just a few years ago, but now, it seems like a lifetime away.It seems that after meeting the person running alone in the gravity field classroom in the middle of the night, he had a goal and at the same time messed up his life.

Charifna followed Morris, watching him stride silently, knowing that her words had revealed something he didn't want to face, a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"If you disdain me so much, why are you still following me?"

Well, the voice didn't sound low, Charifna glanced at Morris who was profiled, "Do you think I'm willing to follow you? It's just the same direction. My boss, I want to go to the officer's dormitory where you are to check damage and check the amount of supplies."

"Then why did you come to the fortress?" Hearing the dissatisfaction in Charifina's words, Morris felt that she was puzzled. "Didn't you get very close to the person who is sitting on the throne now? It's fine to go on with her, why come here to suffer." Thinking of the sarcasm of Charifina before, Morris also sneered.

Charifna didn't take it seriously, she put her hands in her trouser pockets, and didn't care about Morris' ridicule at all: "She doesn't trust me because my brother is the chief staff officer of the Third Fleet. If she doesn't trust me, then I don't have to Stay there, the situation is too bad now, I thought about it, and only this front fortress is a place worth taking a gamble." Seeing Morris's wide-eyed eyes in surprise, Charifina sneered: "You don't have to look at me like that, I am such a person, wherever there is interest, I will go there."

Before Morris could react, a communication broadcast for the entire fort came from the communication station in the region.Everyone stopped, put down their work and looked up at the huge electronic crystal screen located in the most prominent position in each large area.

On the electronic crystal screen, a female announcer in military uniform announced with a serious expression the establishment of the temporary post-war headquarters of the front fortress, with Colonel Legnernwest as the acting commander.And after the announcer introduced the list of the acting commanders of the temporary headquarters, the image of the acting commander appeared on the electronic crystal screen. He looked like he was in his early thirties, with a warm expression and a gentle temperament. After all the people and soldiers saluted, a short speech began.

"Who is this person?" Morris looked at the colonel in his early thirties, who seemed familiar, but couldn't remember his previous position.

"Tsk tsk, he has stolen a lot of your limelight recently." Charifna also stood still, looked up at the acting commander on the electronic crystal screen, and explained to Morris, "Legener Envis Colonel Te was dispatched from the Imperial Naval Port to the front-end fortress two months ago. After arriving at the fortress, he served as the chief of the fortress operation department. On the day the control building was destroyed, he was following the engineers to check the damage in each area, so he escaped by chance. A catastrophe. Now he is the person with the highest military rank in the entire front-end fortress. For a while after the battle, he has been working on repairing and rebuilding the fortress, and communicating with the capital planet, asking the court to give a clear statement on the attack. And demand that those responsible be punished.”

"I remembered, he was on the same boat as me when we went to the front fortress." After listening to Charifina's words, Morris suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this person on the boat to the front fortress. "Ask the court to give an explanation? Isn't this obvious? This time the attack was caused by the person sitting on the throne. Does he really think that the court will bear the responsibility this time? However, even if this is the case It’s not considered clever, at least at this moment he dared to challenge the court, which is considered courageous.”

"Isn't that clever?" Xia Lifanna shook her head, and she became very serious, "No matter what his purpose is, at least he can let the hot-headed people see that those who claim to be democratic and free are coming to rescue them. In what savage ways men try to open their country."

"You admire him so much, it seems that you have found someone to follow again." Charifina's seriousness surprised Morris a little, and his words changed his feelings about Charifina.

"Follow?" Charifna was taken aback, then subconsciously shook her head.However, she seemed a little unhappy when she realized that she had reacted to Morris' words and revealed her inner thoughts.However, she soon put this unhappiness behind her, because she saw Morris' surprised and puzzled eyes.

This is really a guy with well-developed limbs and a dull head, Charifna thought to herself.Having said that, before leaving the war zone to go to the officer's dormitory, Charifna still looked back at the person on the electronic crystal screen.This man is ambitious!

The work of the logistics department has always been cumbersome and heavy, especially in the devastated front fort after a big war.

The hour hand has already pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Hong rubbed his pantothenic shoulders, and looked up at the sky outside the window.The fluid layer has been completely restored, and the night sky of the front fortress can finally see the beauty of the copied starry sky again.The Milky Way hangs far away in the sky, like a jade belt stretching in the distance, and although the light of the star shards is meager, against the background of the dark sky, it still exudes a charming light.

She stopped rubbing her shoulders, and her eyes looking at the distant sky were gradually filled with confusion and sadness.But in just a few days, like a nightmare, it instantly tore apart the walls of her heart that had been constantly strengthening.

"Bang bang bang." There was a knock on the open door, which interrupted Lin Hong's thoughts at the same time. She lowered her head to suppress the mist in her eyes, and then looked up at the person who came.

Colonel Legnarn, who had just become the acting commander of the front fortress, was standing at the door with a helpless smile on his face: "Captain, it's been a long time since you got off work, I heard that you have to work late every day, so It's very bad for your health."

Lin Hong stood up and gave a military salute to the other party. After the other party had no choice but to return the salute, he sat back at the desk again without looking at the other party. "Your Excellency, I still have work to do." With so many reports, Lin Hong felt that he could not devote his energy to his work at all, so he could only force himself to focus on the numbers one after another.

The office in the Operations Office of the Logistics Department of the Front Fortress was so quiet that even if a needle fell on the ground, the sound of it hitting the ground could be clearly heard.This tranquility lasted for a long time, so long that Lin Hong thought that the current acting commander of the boss who had been with him for a short time had left.She couldn't help raising her head to look towards the door, but she was caught off guard by the eyes from those dark green eyes.

Almost all the people in the operation department of the logistics department have left after get off work, so there is only one wall lamp in the whole corridor near Lin Hong's office.Under the dim light, Colonel Legnarn stood there quietly.His brown hair is slightly messy, not as meticulous as in the daytime, maybe because he worked too hard during the daytime, there is a faint tiredness between his brows at this time.When he saw Lin Hong turning his head to look over, he immediately pulled out a smile.

Lin Hong stabilized his mind, turned his head, and said coldly: "When the acting headquarters asked for my opinion, I already agreed with you to take over as the acting commander. So, you don't have to..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Hong's words were interrupted by crisp footsteps, and a shadow blocked the light in front of her. When she looked up, she saw Colonel Legnarn standing in front of her desk.As if there was nothing he could do about her indifference, he said earnestly: "I heard that you have always been so unreasonable, but I think there must be a reason for that. Maybe something made you lose your respect for the people around you. Confidence, so I refuse to accept the care of others. But I think, on such a day, maybe you also need to have someone to talk to." After that, he smiled slightly, "Maybe I am a good listener ? I just care about your mood and hope you will be happier."

I just care about your mood, I hope you are happy... How long has it been?Lin Hong himself has forgotten how long it has been since he heard such words.Did it start when the mother died and the father left home, or earlier, when Lin Mo returned to Capital Star?Lin Hong stared blankly at Legnarn, and slowly lowered his eyelids. The mist that had been suppressed earlier in his eye sockets spread again, blurring his vision.

"Come." With a gentle voice and gentle movements, the hand was wrapped by another big hand and pulled up.Lin Hong wanted to get rid of it, but he was a little bit reluctant to part with the warmth.

The cold air outside the office building made Lin Hong wake up, but she was even more reluctant to part with the warmth she was absorbing. She moved the hand she was holding unnaturally, but the other party stretched her even harder.As a last resort, Lin Hong raised his head and looked at Legnarn, "Where are you going?"

"How about going to have dinner first? I haven't eaten for nearly ten hours." The smile on Legnarn's face grew stronger, "Then, I'll take you somewhere."

Lin Hong found that she was unable to resist Legnarn at all. Maybe she had longed for warmth for too long, so long that she thought she didn't need this kind of thing at all.However, when this warmth came, she was like a person who fell into the warm spring water in the cold winter and September, even if the next disaster was to come, she was unwilling to break free.I would rather drown in warmth than live alone in the cold.

Dinner was settled in a small but clean and tidy restaurant in the residential area of ​​​​the front fortress. There is no fancy meal here, but there is warm and glutinous soup.When you eat it in your stomach, you will feel that even the cold of early winter cannot invade your body.

After dinner, Lin Hong followed Legnarn to the so-called certain place.

This time, he didn't hold her hand, the tall figure walked in front, Lin Hong slowly followed behind, his hands gradually became cold again, but the memory of the warmth not long ago appeared in his mind.

It turned out that he was going to his officer's quarters, so it's not convenient to hold hands?Lin Hong saw the officers in twos and threes looking at them curiously.As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Hong was used to this kind of scrutiny, so she didn't care, but saw Legnarn stop and turn around to show her an apologetic smile, "Maybe I should put that thing Move it out of the dormitory and store it in another place."

what?Legnarn's words aroused a trace of curiosity in Lin Hong's heart.

After leading him into this single-family officer's dormitory specially prepared for the acting commander, Lin Hong knew the answer.In the small living room, there is a piano.Not a fancy grand piano, just an ordinary piano that you would find in even an ordinary home.

After walking into the living room, Legnarn took off his general jacket and motioned for Lin Hong to sit on the sofa beside him.He unbuttoned the top button of his military uniform shirt, and showed a rare shy smile: "I'm a little nervous. Actually, I don't play very well."

Lin Hong didn't make a sound, sat on the sofa and watched Legnarn sit in front of the piano.

The music sounded in the room, slowly flowing to every corner of the room.Legnarn played an unknown piece of music, which was not very pleasant to say the least, but it fit Lin Hong's state of mind very well.The slow flow of notes seems to be reciting sorrow; the low melody sobs seems to pay homage to the sadness of the soul.

Tears flowed down from his eyes unconsciously, and Lin Hong's thin body was almost retracted into the soft sofa, as if only in this way could he feel a trace of warmth.

Suddenly, the swift and brisk melody broke the real sadness in the room, and Lin Hong, who was a little lost, raised his head and stared blankly at Legnarn, who was looking at her with a smile.

"Look. Life is like this music, there will always be a moment to change the movement." The light and soft music poured out from his hands, and Legnarn's brown hair shone softly in this bright room. of light. "When I was born, my father passed away. When I was 14 years old, my mother also passed away. In this world, there are too many people without parents, not just you and me. In the past of grief, we Always face life."

The music stopped, and Lin Hong still stared blankly at Legnarn. He stood up from the piano and walked towards her with big strides.Warm hands pulled her up from the soft sofa, and at the same time, he bent down, and his warm lips were printed on her cold lips.
