Chapter 155 Memories of the Past Life
"The meeting is about to start, Xu Zhiyang is going to be late!"
"So happy?"
Chu Yanshen lowered his head and whispered, "He and Li Huiyin sneaked out of the base and promised to take me with him, but he actually stood me up."
Chu Yanning smiled helplessly: "When we return from Kunlun Mountain, I will help you apply to the colonel to be released?"
"real?"
"Really...as long as you come back safely."
"Brother, you're so nice! Bring your sister-in-law with you, and let's go out and find a beautiful place to stay for a few days!"
Chu Yanning's eyes dimmed slightly and he said softly, "Okay."
"Xu Zhiyang is going to be late again? Such an important meeting." Leng Yue looked at Zhu Ci with dissatisfaction.
"Boss, why do you keep looking over there?"
Zhu Ci retracted his gaze: "Nothing."
Xi Feng laughed heartily: "Brother Xu is still young, it's normal for him to like to play. Isn't he only eighteen?"
Zhu Ci thought of that bright smile, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Yeah, just eighteen."
"Well, we've just reached adulthood. Who knows if we'll ever be able to return from this trip to Kunlun Mountain? Let's enjoy life while we can!"
Han Zhiche, who was sitting in the first row on the other side, kept looking back and asked in a low voice.
"Ji Chen, why haven't they come back yet?"
Ji Chen: "He just sent me a message saying he'll be there on time and is already at the gate of the base..."
Han Zhiche frowned: "We shouldn't let him run around with Huiyin. What if something happens... He can't miss this battle."
"How about I go out and look for them? Several leaders are already backstage. They're about to go on stage and take their seats."
Han Zhiche looked at his watch anxiously, and looked up to see Commander Ji already standing next to the podium in the auditorium, ready to go up.
At this moment, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard.
Everyone looked back.
I saw a figure coming against the light, running a few steps, jumping over the last few steps of the auditorium and jumping down!
Xu Zhiyang landed steadily and stood up with a bright smile.
"Brother, you're not late, are you?"
Han Zhiche gritted his teeth, "How dare you ask? It's only a minute away... Hurry and sit down... Where's Huiyin?"
"I'm here!"
Li Huiyin hurriedly ran over and sat down, tied up all the hair that was loose at the back of her head, and reached out to pat the shoulder of the person next to her.
"You bastard! You didn't wait for me again!"
Xu Zhiyang dodged the devil's claws with a smile, "You blame me for being slow."
Several high-ranking leaders on the stage took their seats, and Commander Ji began to speak some inspiring words.
Xu Zhiyang turned her head away boredly, subconsciously wanting to find the person in her heart.
But he unexpectedly met that person's eyes.
Xu Zhiyang wanted to look away, but felt reluctant.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zhiyang tilted her head and smiled at him, then took out a small object from her pocket and threw it over.
Zhu Ci raised his hand to take it, opened his palm and saw that it was actually a candy.
The man suddenly laughed and carefully put the candy into his pocket.
After the last plenary meeting before heading to Kunlun Mountain, all the psychics went to the nearby hotel to attend the final cocktail party.
Xu Zhiyang was surrounded and toasted with many drinks. After her brother came to rescue her, she quickly hid on the balcony.
Standing there was Zhuci, the wind-powered person who also avoided alcohol.
Hearing footsteps, the man turned around and looked at him.
Xu Zhiyang walked over and leaned on the railing tiredly.
"Mr. Zhu."
"Yeah." Zhu Ci responded softly.
Xu Zhiyang's eyebrows and eyes were curved.
"It seems like every time I call you, you respond to me."
"Um."
Zhu Ci looked at him gently, "Are you drunk?"
"It's okay." Xu Zhiyang's eyes were red.
"I'll go get you a glass of orange juice."
"Wait a moment."
Xu Zhiyang suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Ci's fingers.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Ci turned around and looked at him face to face.
There was a layer of mist in Xu Zhiyang's eyes, and her eyes were sparkling.
The lights are like tiny stars, shining in the boy's eyes.
He looked at Zhu Ci with a smile, wanting to say something but holding back, and finally just uttered a few words lightly.
"If I can come back safely this time, there's something I want to tell you."
Zhu Ci was slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Xu Zhiyang laughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Mr. Zhu? Would you like a drink?"
"Suddenly I remembered...I don't think I've ever had a drink with you."
"Then we're together now."
The toasting glass gently touched Xu Zhiyang's glass.
"cheers."
Xu Zhiyang tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, slid across her ears and disappeared into her hair.
Xu Zhiyang got drunk and fell into Zhu Ci's arms.
He sniffed the woody scent on Zhu Ci greedily.
Zhu Ci held him steadily with one hand.
The boy's breathing hit his ear, slow and long.
Zhu Ci turned his head and looked at the sleeping face on his shoulder.
Ultimately, be careful and follow your heart.
He kissed him gently.
He loved him, and the more he loved him, the more he hid it.
Secretly and passionately loving him.
This was the only time we had such close contact after knowing each other for so long.
"When we get back, I have something I want to tell you too."
…
Unfortunately, there is no future.
The battle of Kunlun Mountains resulted in heavy casualties.
Xu Zhiyang witnessed with his own eyes the intellectually evolved six-year-old boy die in front of him because of a mistake he made.
The boy's wide eyes were filled with fear, regret and pain.
Those with the five elements energy died one after another.
The Nighthawk Squad, Leng Yue...all died tragically.
"Chu Yanning...stay alive."
These were Chu Yanshen’s last words.
Chu Yanning's heart-wrenching cries were heard from the intercom.
Xu Zhiyang fell to the side covered in blood, and the blood dyed the surrounding plants red.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Li Huiyin again, whose eyes were closed.
He still failed to fulfill his promise to protect her.
The silly girl became a cold corpse.
I can never see her smile again...
Zhu Ci's hands and feet were broken, and he used the only right hand that could still move to stroke Xu Zhiyang's cheek and hold her in his arms.
He wiped the blood from the boy's mouth and kissed Xu Zhiyang tenderly on the cheek.
"I like you, Xu Zhiyang."
Xu Zhiyang's pupils dilated and she almost thought she had misheard.
But the kiss on his lips made him realize that this was not just a dying fantasy.
"I like you too, but why did you say it so late... a day earlier would have been better."
"Even if you had told me earlier... earlier, or... or if I had mustered up the courage, we could have spent more time together."
Xu Zhiyang snuggled into Zhu Ci's arms. Even if the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart at this moment, he didn't care.
"I'm sorry, it was too late."
Zhuci kissed the boy's hair lightly, full of love.
Xu Zhiyang used her last bit of strength to hold Zhu Ci's hand tightly.
He felt that the energy in his body had begun to dissipate and his life was coming to an end.
"If there is an afterlife... Zhuci... please find me soon."
"I hope... in the next life... we can meet sooner..."
"Okay, I promise you, a soldier will never go back on his word."
Zhu Ci's tears fell on the end of Xu Zhiyang's eyebrows.
"My Yangyang, see you in the next life."
"good……"
Xu Zhiyang raised her eyes and looked into Zhu Ci's gentle eyes, looked at him for the last time, then her eyelashes drooped slightly, and she died.
Zhu Ci cried silently and hugged the silent boy in her arms in grief.
After a burst of gunfire, he ended his life.
There are corpses everywhere.
Just these two people snuggled together.
The dodder, as thin as a hair, gradually wrapped around the boy's body.
They had already made a deal.
"If there is an afterlife, I will repay you."
The dodder gradually condensed into a human form.
"Your name is Xu Zhiyang."
