Flowers and dances

Chapter 23

When the window is open, the faint fragrance of flowers from outside floats in with the wind, making the room peaceful.Chu Wu looked at his photos with a smile on her face. There was a 9-year gap between them, and she seemed to travel through time and space to experience the time with him.The him in the photo gradually overlapped with the figure in her memory.

Xi Haoze was sitting at one end of the bed, with a thick military book on his lap, his gaze fell on the handwriting, and he hadn't seen him flip the pages for a long time.

After Chu Wu finished reading the photo album, she raised her head to see that he was still immersed in the book, and quickly took out a two-inch photo of him in high school from the photo album and put it in his pocket.

She closed the album, walked to Xi Haoze's side, sat down, and the bed shook slightly.Xi Haoze tilted his head to look at her, his tight jaw loosened, "Finished?"

"En." Chu Wu nodded.

"Anything you want to post?"

Chu Wu pursed her lips and smiled, "You're dark." She looked at his face, "Actually, it's better to be white."

"Don't use the word 'good-looking' to describe a man, especially a soldier."

Chu Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, "The girl in the photo with you was liked by many people at that time, right?"

Xi Haoze's fingertips moved slightly, "It's been so long."

"Really can't remember?" Chu Wu rubbed against his eyes, raised her eyebrows, and looked into his eyes for a moment.

Xi Haoze smiled helplessly, looked at her smiling face, was dazed for a moment, pressed her body against her right shoulder, narrowed his eyes to meet her probing gaze, "Chuwu, what do you want to ask?"

Chu Wu was lying on the soft bed under his pressure, she wanted to breathe, her face was so red that she was about to bleed, she trembled slightly, and turned her head, "You let me get up—" "Come" Disappeared in the blending of lips and teeth, this kiss is not like the one in the car just now, he kissed deeper and deeper, his hand unconsciously clenched her waist, Chu Xia was already dressed lightly, at this moment, Chu Wu could feel her skin It's hot.

"Second brother—my little second sister-in-law is here." Accompanied by a clear voice, the door of the room was knocked.

With a sweep of his hand, Xi Haoze picked up the pillow beside the bed, focused on the target neatly, suppressed his voice and uttered two words coldly, "Get out."

"Ah!" Xi Haoyue dodged equally swiftly, and clearly saw a woman lying on his second brother's bed with loose hair, and immediately understood that she was not embarrassed at all, shrugged, closed the door, and stood at the door , said calmly, "OK. You guys continue."

She suppressed her smile, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Mom asked me to come up and tell you to go down for dinner."

Chu Wu sat up in shock, straightened the wrinkles on her clothes, frowned and complained, "I'm so ashamed."

Chu Wu walked to the mirror and looked at her slightly red and swollen lips. Now that she went down to see Xi's father and Xi's mother, she could tell what the two of them were doing in the room just now.

"Why didn't you close the door just now?"

When Xi Haoze was interrupted like this, his face became a little gloomy, and he said lightly, "Don't worry, we won't live together after we get married."

When we went down, everyone was as usual.Ms. Chen and the nanny were serving dishes, and Chu Wu also went to help. She glanced at her with a flickering smile.

"Chuwu, go chat with Haoyue, Xiaoling and I are enough here."

"It's okay, auntie, I'll fix it."

Ms. Chen looked at her skillful movements and nodded in satisfaction.

The dinner table of Xi's family used to be deserted, but tonight it can be considered lively.at the dinner table.

"Chuwu, how long have you known my second brother?"

"It's not big or small, Haoyue, Chuwu is your future sister-in-law."

"Mom, I'm a few years older than Chu Wu. Calling her sister-in-law, I'm afraid that Chu Wu will be far away."

Chu Wu lightly touched Xi Haoze's elbow, Xi Haoze seemed to have heard nothing, and put a chicken leg into Chu Wu's bowl. "Don't be a vegetarian all the time, you're as thin as a stick." Chu Wu gave her a look.

Seeing this scene, Ms. Chen felt relieved.

"Second brother, I also want to eat chicken drumsticks." The only girl in Xi Haoze's family, her parents and brothers are all spoiled.

"Call and ask Wen Xu to come back and clip you." Wen Xu is Xi Haoyue's husband.

"By the way, Haoyue, Mom didn't mean you. You and Xiaoxu have been married for two years. You should have this child? Xiaoxu is easy to talk to. He is the only child in your husband's family. You should also think about your parents-in-law. When you get married, you should have a child as soon as possible, this is your home." Ms. Chen meant something.

"Mom, stop. The second brother is older than me, and now I have a little second sister-in-law. You can say the second brother."

Sure enough, Ms. Chen's eyes turned to Chu Wu, picked up the chopsticks and picked up fish meat for Chu Wu, and looked at her with a smile, "Chu Wu, you young people, don't lose weight like other celebrities, it's not good for your health. "

Xi Haoyue thought of something and asked, "Chuwu, have you ever thought about what to do after graduation?"

do what?She has been thinking about it all this time.

"You are a dancer, are you interested in joining our group?"

Chu Wu was slightly taken aback, her eyes flickered for an instant, but she quickly covered it up.

"Come to our group. Last time you danced at the military show, you really surprised us."

Xi Zhenghong asked, "Have Chuwu participated in the performance?" Now, he also called "Chuwu".

"Dad, it was the New Year's Day military exercise, the dance of "Linshui", which surpassed all the programs of our group."

Xi Zhenghong nodded. He had an impression of that dance. It was really not easy for a few young girls to dance in thin skirts in the cold winter months. Good dance, Mr. Wen and the others are full of praise." The praise from their leaders shows the success of Chuwu's performance.

In the evening, Xi Haoze sent her back to school.The two went back silently, the evening breeze was cool and insects were singing.The dim yellow shadow of the lamp stretched the figures of the two people long, and people passed by them from time to time.

Chu Wu was still thinking about Ms. Chen's proposal.She took a breath, looked sideways at the flickering lights and her stern side face, "I don't want to go to the art troupe."

"why?"

"I don't want to dance anymore." Chu Wu was a little confused. The most important thing was that Nan Shumei was also in the art troupe, but he didn't know how to tell Xi Haoze about it. This was a scab in her heart that had slowly healed.

Xi Haoze was still walking, "Why don't you dance if you like it?"

"If one day what I like makes me feel tired and unhappy, then I will give up." Chu Wu said softly, but with firm determination.

Xi Haoze was silent, and the two walked downstairs to the dormitory. He looked up at the star-studded floor, his eyes darkened, "Okay, go up and have a rest early." He paused, "It's my mother's fault that I joined the art troupe too." mean."

After saying this, Chu Wu really had nothing to say.She nodded bitterly, "I'm going up."

When Chuwu opened the door, she saw Wang Lan sitting on a yoga mat, bending her body in an arc.She sat down silently.

"Xiaoyao came back after a night?"

"Lanlan, if someone finds you a good job and you like it but don't want to do it, what will you do?"

"Hey, you're turning me around." Wang Lan eased her posture, stood up, and twisted her waist. "Your partner offered you a good job? That's a good thing. I'm still worried about where to go after graduation?"

Chu Wu sighed, "You know, I don't plan to dance anymore, I will continue with what they like."

Wang Lan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, "Where are you going?"

Chu Wu didn't hide it from her, "Frontline."

"Chu Wu, what's wrong with your head. You go to stay there for a few years, maybe you will find some kind of civil servant in the future. Besides, since his family ordered it for you, it makes sense if you don't go. "Wang Lan probably guessed that Chuwu's boyfriend's family is not ordinary. She curled her lips, "You violated your mother-in-law's kindness before you entered the house. What will people think? Marriage is not a matter of two people. In the future, you When you get married, they are all your family."

Chu Wu also understood the truth.

On the second day, Chuwu went home.She was going to accompany Han Dequn to the General Hospital of the Military Region for acupuncture and moxibustion.Han Dequn went home to recuperate in mid-May. His leg has not healed yet, and now he only has a slight feeling.This doctor is an old doctor in the military region, and his skills are very good.After acupuncture and moxibustion several times, Han Dequn's leg pain became more and more intense.

"Xiao Wu, why is your complexion so bad?"

"I didn't sleep well last night." Chu Wu rubbed her eyes and smiled.

"Dad, their family wants me to go to the art troupe."

Father Han's hands rubbing his legs stopped, he bowed his waist, "Xiao Wu, their family naturally has their own ideas."

Chu Wu squatted down, and pressed her father's legs with both hands skillfully, "Dad, sometimes I am very confused."

Father Han laughed, "You weren't like this before." His daughter used to be able to take care of everything.

Han Dequn was sitting in a wheelchair, and Chuwu pushed him.The noon sun was a bit scorching hot, and Chu Wu saw that the corners of his father's mouth were a little dry.

"Dad, wait for me for a while, I'm going to buy a bottle of water." Then he ran towards the canteen.

Hande followed Chuwu's back with his eyes.

"Stay out of the way, master."

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Han Dequn immediately turned the wheel.

"Slow down, I'll help you." The man pushed him to the side of the tree.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, it should help the disabled."

Han Dequn's face turned pale instantly.With a dry throat, he couldn't make a sound, he turned the wheel in a daze, and when he turned around, he saw a woman in military uniform standing in front of him, a step away.

Time seemed to stand still, something was stuck to the wheel, and his hand felt a tingling pain when he held it.

"You—how are you?" Nan Shumei didn't expect to meet her here. In fact, she knew that he lived in the General Hospital of the Military Region some time ago.

Han Dequn was startled, and raised his head, his eyes were sore from the glare of the sun, his dark face became paler and paler, he pursed his lips and did not speak, his eyes moved to behind Nan Shumei, his daughter and his future son-in-law Walking towards them, Chu Wu had a happy smile on his face.
