Chapter 132

Shuangshuang shared the snacks sent by Brother Dunzi with her roommate. It was a big bag and they ate it from early autumn to early winter.

The first snow in the capital arrived as expected, falling softly in the square space of the dormitory's glass windows. The willow trees outside the dormitory seemed to have put on new silver-white clothes, with dots of white snow dotted on them, pressing on the treetops. When the wind blew, the treetops trembled slightly, and a white mist floated in the air again.

When the weather gets cold, I want to eat something warm. Shuangshuang thought about it and realized that she had recently gone out to eat with her roommates and classmates, and had met Sister Qingqing twice. However, she hadn't seen Brother Chenchen for several months!

This person seems to be very busy recently and has not come to see me. I went to the military region with Lu Shanfang to look for someone, Lu Shanfang went to look for Yang Hongsheng, and she went to look for Chenchen's brother, but they also said they were busy and could not come out. So she went to have dinner with Lu Shanfang and Yang Hongsheng.

After thinking about it, Shuangshuang decided to go again. It's cold now, so it shouldn't be so busy, right?

Put on a black woolen coat, a beret, a goose-yellow scarf, and woolen gloves, and you are fully armed and ready to go out.

"Shuangshuang, you want to go out?"

Her roommate Tang Yuan looked at her and said, "It was the first snow today. Everyone went outside to see the snow early in the morning and came back. They decided to stay in the dormitory for the day off."

"Well, I'm going to go out for a while. Why don't you wait for me to eat? Oh, Xiaoyuan, please get me a bottle of water in the evening."

"Okay." Tang Yuan responded readily.

All the roommates knew that Shuangshuang seemed to have a brother who worked in the military, and they were extremely jealous of her.

They took the bus to the outskirts of the Capital Military Region and registered at the gate to ask someone to call Wu Xiangchen.

At this time, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the goose-feather snow was flying, decorating the hat on her head.

He stood at the corner, rubbing his hands together, waiting and staring at the gate of the military area. He saw soldiers coming in and out from time to time, but there was no familiar figure.

"Captain, the guard said your sister is here, looking for you."

The military was on rest today, and Wu Xiangchen was staying in the single dormitory. The room was quite warm, and he was lying on the bed wearing a military short-sleeved shirt, with his long legs stretched straight, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"I..." Wu Xiangchen had just opened his mouth to say one word when the soldier Xiao Zhang interrupted him.

"Captain, you're not going to see that girl again?" Xiao Zhang looked up at the sky. "It's a lot colder today. A girl came to see you, and she's so pretty. You're too hard-hearted. Captain, does she want to pursue you? Even if you don't like her, don't keep hiding..."

I don’t know which words touched Wu Xiangchen’s heart, Xiao Zhang felt a cold light shooting towards him.

"Alright, alright, you go back, I'll go out and take a look." Wu Xiangchen's heart was already in a mess, and his heart sank when he heard Xiao Zhang talking nonsense.

Wu Xiangchen got out of bed and walked out with a wooden face. The distance from the dormitory to the military district gate was several hundred meters. The cold wind and snowflakes blew on his face. He suddenly remembered the time when he and Shuangshuang walked together in the snow after they met again last year.

In fact, the two of them have some connection with snow.

"Brother Chenchen!"

When they both saw the familiar figure, they stood on tiptoe and waved excitedly into the distance, finally their trip today was not in vain.

"It's so cold today! But it's great that it's snowing. Let's go eat scorpion hotpot!"

Shuangshuangsi didn't show any sign of blaming him for the previous rejections, nor did she ask him why he hadn't come to see her recently.

Wu Xiangchen's throat choked, and his heart was in agony, "Shuangshuang, the first few times I..."

"I know, you must be busy." Shuangshuang smiled, like the warm sunshine in winter, which could drive away the cold. "My dad is like this, he often goes on missions and has a lot of things to do. Come on, let's go eat something warm."

"Well, let's go." Wu Xiangchen looked at her blankly, and a snowflake petal floated slowly and landed on the tip of her nose, touching the root of her nose. Wu Xiangchen's hand, which was pressed against the seam of her pants, moved, but in the end he did not move, just a reminder.

"Ah?" Shuangshuang touched his nose and wiped off the snowflakes. "Okay, let's go!"

The scorpion hot pot was simmering on the stove. The restaurant was warm, with charcoal burning in the corner of the door, and diners in the house were enjoying the meal.

Shuangshuang didn't feel any strangeness at all because she hadn't seen Brother Chenchen for a long time. While eating scorpions, she chattered about her own things or asked about the other person's training situation.

"Brother Chenchen, are you tired from training?" She noticed that he didn't seem to have a very good appetite. "If you are tired from training, you need to eat more! You don't know that everyone in our dormitory is a big eater, especially when exams are approaching. Using your brain can consume your physical energy, so you must replenish your energy."

Wu Xiangchen smiled as he listened to Shuangshuang's words. "That's right, you need to eat more and take good care of your body."

He glanced at the pair of thin arms and legs, and wondered how they could be so thin.

While the mutton was cooking in the pot, Wu Xiangchen picked out the most delicious parts and put them into two bowls. Soon, a small mountain of mutton was piled up in her bowl.

After dinner, the two went to the department store again, both preparing to buy some specialties for their families to send back. They were busy doing everything, and finally went out of their way to buy some palace cakes, which they even divided into two oil paper bags, and talked as they divided the cakes.

"Brother Chenchen, take this back and try it. This almond crisp is the best. The walnut crisp is also good. I put a few in for you."

"No, I don't like these. You can take them back and eat them." Wu Xiangchen subconsciously prepared to refuse.

"Try to eat it." Shuangshuang insisted on preparing a bag of food for him, but she was also considerate, so she let him carry both bags and put her hands in her coat pockets.

"Brother Chenchen, you carry it for a while, and then we'll take turns."

Wu Xiangchen looked at the little girl in front of him, and her obsidian eyes blinked at him, clear and bright. Wu Xiangchen, with a smile on his face, held two bags in one hand and said lightly, "I'm not cold, put your hands in your pockets and don't freeze.

By the way, did you get frostbite on your hands in winter? Did you get frostbite on your hands while writing in class? Our army has distributed hand wipes, which are very useful if you have frostbite, and can also be used to prevent it even if you don’t have frostbite. It is an exclusive secret recipe of the army, and it works very well, and it’s not available outside.”

"Wow? There is such a good thing?" His eyes lit up.

"Will you come back with me to get it? I have a can in my drawer."

"good!"

Two of my roommates in the dormitory developed frostbite, which would easily crack during the cold winter months. It was painful and itchy, and I felt so sorry for them.

After a busy day, Shuangshuang yawned and followed Brother Chenchen back to the military area. As it was already dark, he asked Shuangshuang to wait at the gate while he went back to the dormitory to get hand cream.

"Dong Jun, I don't..." Wu Xiangchen paused and continued, "Please keep an eye on it for me. I'll be back soon."

The guard nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain Wu, I will definitely keep an eye on him for you."

"You should go quickly." Shuangshuang yawned again, obviously feeling sleepy.

After taking the hand cream, Wu Xiangchen sent Shuangshuang to the bus and accompanied her back to school.

The weather was getting colder and colder. It had been snowing all day. There were not many people on the bus at eight o'clock in the evening, with people sitting scattered everywhere.

Feeling sleepy in the winter and tired after playing for most of the day, Shuangshuang sat by the window. Her eyelids were drooping. Although she tried hard to talk to the person next to her, she couldn't resist the sleepiness. She gradually became silent, her head kept nodding, and finally she fell asleep in a daze.

Hearing no more talking around him, Wu Xiangchen turned around and saw that in the dim bus, Shuangshuang was sleeping with her head slightly lowered. Perhaps she was not sleeping well, and she subconsciously looked for a place to lean on, so she leaned against the glass window.

Boom!

"Ouch." The girl's head hit the window and she rubbed her head with a slight cry. Without opening her eyes, she leaned against the glass window and continued to sleep.

Wu Xiangchen tried to control herself from paying attention to the movements of the people around her. She saw the bus bumping as it passed over an uneven road, and it hit the windows. She seemed to have found a relatively suitable angle to lean against. Although it hit the window from time to time, the amplitude was small and she could accept it in a daze.

The bus arrived at a stop and slowly slowed down as it drove into the bus stop. The dim lights inside the bus came on, and the afterglow shone on the sleeping girl's face, outlining her peaceful sleeping face.

After staring at her blankly for a moment, Wu Xiangchen forgot to look away and traced her eyebrows and eyes with his eyes. She was exactly the same as the person in his dream.

The girl's head kept nodding against the window from time to time, but she was too sleepy to pay attention. Wu Xiangchen finally couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He saw the two heads leave the window in an instant as the bus bumped, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it against the cold window.

The next second, the hairy head bumped into the palm of my hand.

Shuangshuang's hair was smooth, and the tangled hair stuck tightly to Wu Xiangchen's palm, wrapping around him and making him feel uneasy.

I maintained this posture for five minutes, but it seemed like a long time in agony. My palm touched the head of the half-sleeping girl again and again, preventing her from hitting the car window, but I felt very uncomfortable.

It always feels like someone is brushing my heart gently with a feather.

Unable to bear it any longer, Wu Xiangchen tried to pull his hand back, but the pair of comfortably sleeping hands rubbed against his face. The half-asleep and half-awake girl was a little annoyed that her "pillow" was trying to run away, so she quickly pressed it against it again, with half of her cheek pressed against it.

bomb.

I don't know what the explosion sound was, Wu Xiangchen felt the delicate and smooth touch on the palm of his hand, and his breathing seemed to stop at this moment.

The little girl's cheek was in his palm, and the place where their skin touched seemed to be on fire, burning him uncomfortably...

Maybe he felt comfortable and his "pillow" finally behaved himself. The corners of his mouth curled up and he moved his cheeks, trying to find a more comfortable position.

Wu Xiangchen dared not say a word, and let the little girl do what she wanted. He only felt a warm touch on his palm, and a gentle breath sweeping over his body...

As she turned her head, her sleepy pair of silk did not notice where her lips had brushed against. She just buried half of her face into the "pillow" more comfortably and finally stopped moving.

Half of his body was numb, and the blood in his palms seemed to have solidified, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. Wu Xiangchen stared blankly at the peaceful sleeping face of the little girl beside him. He didn't know how much time had passed before he saw her crow-feather-like eyelashes tremble and she slowly opened her eyes.

After taking a nap, they woke up drowsy. After rubbing their eyes, Wu Xiangchen withdrew his hand, clasped his fingers together, and held the warmth in his palm.

But everything that happened just now seemed to be engraved on the palm of my hand and could not be wiped away.

"Huh~" Shuangshuang woke up for a moment and didn't pay any attention to the actions of brother Chenchen beside her. She only remembered that she had just fallen asleep and seemed to have a dream?

I dreamed of a restless "pillow", which finally allowed me to sleep comfortably.

"Are we almost there?" Shuangshuang asked, tilting his head.

"There are still three stops to go." Wu Xiangchen said in a low voice and didn't say much afterwards.

——

They returned to the dormitory under the moonlight and trotted into the house. It was cold enough tonight, especially with the howling wind outside that bent the treetops.

Thinking that Brother Chenchen had to go back to the military area, I suddenly felt a little worried.

"Shuangshuang, you're back?" Tang Yuan had been lying in bed long ago. When she heard the noise, she poked her head out. "I got some water for you."

"Thank you!" Shuangshuang handed over the pastries she brought back. "To show my highest respect to Ms. Tangyuan, have a piece of almond pastry."

"Wow!" Tang Yuan pinched a piece of almond crisp and put it in her mouth. She watched Shuang Shuang pass food to other roommates, share it with others and then return it. She was curious, "Did you go to see your brother in the military district again today?"

"Yes, and we also had scorpion hotpot, which was delicious."

"Hey, Shuangshuang!" Tang Yuan moved her body and asked mysteriously, "Who is that brother of yours? Is he your biological brother?"

"No." Shuangshuang took a bite of the soft almond pastry, her mouth full of fragrance, "He was my brother who lived in the same family compound as me when I was a child. He moved away when I was about five or six years old. I haven't seen him for so many years, who would have thought that I would run into him in the capital!"

Besides, both of them felt that it was not easy.

"Ah? It turns out to be the neighbor brother." Yan Xin, the roommate on the opposite bed, suddenly realized, "What does he look like? He's a soldier, handsome?"

This was the first time Shuangshuang was asked whether Brother Chenchen was handsome.

She recalled that he was tall, long-legged, and handsome. Regardless of whether she knew him or not, she had to judge him based on her conscience, "He's handsome. Among the soldiers I know, he's only slightly better than my dad."

There's no way, her father is the most handsome soldier in her heart!

"Wow! So you guys...?" After hearing this, Tang Yuan, who had read countless romance novels and watched countless movies, imagined countless plots in her mind, "This is a childhood sweetheart who grew up together and met again in the capital many years later. One is so beautiful and the other is so handsome, isn't it..."

"What is it?" Shuangshuang looked suspicious. Why did Tang Yuan speak so strangely?

"Is there no possibility that you two could develop into another relationship?"

"What's the relationship?" Shuangshuang ate a piece of almond cake, poured a cup of water, and drank it from the enamel cup.

"Couple! Isn't this similar to the plot in a romance novel?"

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Shuangshuang, who was drinking water, suddenly started coughing violently, as if she was frightened by something, and almost choked herself.

After finally calming down, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with fear, and she subconsciously retorted, "Tang Yuan, are you crazy? That's my brother!"

"Hahaha, why are you reacting so strongly?" Tang Yuan lay back on the bed and said nonchalantly, "I was just saying it casually. You have an advantage here, the handsome soldiers you've known since childhood are very suitable as your partners. If not, forget it, then you can go find someone else. Oh, by the way, I don't have a partner yet, how about I become your sister-in-law? I've admired soldiers since I was a child."

"No!" Shuangshuang blurted out, their mouths faster than their brains.

"Why not? Am I not good?"

When asked, both of them stood there, thinking that Chenchen's brother had a partner...I suddenly felt terrible. I don't know why, but I felt it was very strange. My thoughts were all over the place. Could it be that he hadn't come to see me for a long time, and when I went to see him, he didn't have time to meet me. Is it because he has a partner?

"Double! Double!"

Being interrupted by Tang Yuan, Shuangshuang felt a little uncomfortable in her chest, probably because of the cold wind. She only explained, "It's hard to be a military wife. I grew up in a military compound. Are you sure you can stand not seeing your partner for a long time?"

She knows Tang Yuan very well; he is a clingy person.

"Oh, forget it. I think it's not suitable. I still like someone to be with me all the time."

At night, they both lay in bed, their minds in a mess. Tang Yuan's words seemed to still echo in their ears. They thought it was ridiculous that she thought she and Brother Chenchen were developing a romantic relationship. Then they thought of their previous guess: did this person have a partner and had no time to see them?

It was a cold winter night, my thoughts were all over the place and I slept very uneasily.

The next day, the snow in the capital city fell heavier and heavier. After a day and a night, the bluestone road had turned into a vast expanse of white.

It was just dawn and the Capital Military Region was shrouded in silence, but a figure was already running on the playground.

Wu Xiangchen was wearing a short-sleeved training shirt and running shirtless in the cold winter morning, emitting waves of heat from his body.

My arms were swinging, veins were bulging, and I remembered that I had been avoiding people for several months, and finally I didn’t meet him in my dreams. I met him yesterday, and I dreamed about him again at night…

In the dream, the familiar girl was sleeping soundly with her hand against hers. She had an oval face like white porcelain and a quiet and well-behaved sleeping face. She also found a comfortable position against the palm of her hand. What made her breath stop was the pair of bright red lips brushing past her, with a breath as sweet as orchid, gently sweeping past her...

Wu Xiangchen was awake, and something in his heart seemed to burst out, but he was infinitely self-contemptuous, shocked but not ashamed of his own thoughts, because that was the one who always regarded him as a brother...

It was still pitch dark outside the window, and I had no place to vent my restlessness inside. I could only go for a run, trying to numb myself with the cold.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" Lu Fengnian had just finished washing up and was about to go for a morning run, but he saw Wu Xiangchen, who was sweating all over. He was obviously running for a long time. "What time did you come for a run?"

Wu Xiangchen stopped and didn't reply to him, but asked, "Want to fight?"

Wow, Lu Fengnian got excited when he heard this. He had never been able to beat Wu Xiangchen, and he was still far behind him in fighting skills. But this guy didn't like to spar with him, so Lu Fengnian didn't even have a chance to take revenge.

"Don't regret what you said!"

Lu Fengnian is ready to give him a good beating...

Half an hour later, Lu Fengnian was thrown to the ground for the fourth time, and then his throat and limbs were choked...he could only beg for mercy.

"Alright, alright, I give up, okay? Damn, are you crazy today? How come you're even more powerful than before!"

Lu Fengnian had never seen Wu Xiangchen fight like this before. He showed no mercy to him at all, as if he was venting something.

"Wu Xiangchen, you are such a bad person!" Lu Fengnian lay on the ground with his teeth bared, lamenting that he was too cruel.

Wu Xiangchen sat down on the ground after releasing his strength. He recalled that when he was running just now, he tried desperately to forget a face, but he kept thinking about that face. It was as if he finally understood the thoughts hidden deep in his heart, but he could only laugh at himself, "Indeed, I am not a human being."

Lu Fengnian: “…?”

Quite self-aware!

=

Shuangshuang speculated for a long time, but they never saw Brother Chenchen again. This person started to not come to see them again. They went to the military district twice but still didn't see him.

This was the case from the end of the first semester of sophomore year to the beginning of the second semester of sophomore year, from the gloomy winter to the warm spring.

It was unclear whether he had a heavy mission or was out for training. Shuangshuang thought of her guess again: Could it be that Brother Chenchen really had a partner? So he had no time to see her?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more upset she felt. Shuangshuang, who usually had a good appetite, suddenly ate less, which attracted the attention of her roommates.

"Shuangshuang, what's wrong with you?" Tang Yuan had been observing her for two days and found that her good roommate was eating less and less. He raised his hand and touched her forehead, "She's not sick."

"No, I'm fine." Shuangshuang looked at the food in the lunch box: braised pork with potatoes, pot-wrapped pork, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage. They were all her favorites, but she had no appetite these days.

She was still depressed, and she had already concluded in her heart that Brother Chenchen had a partner and no longer wanted her.

Then, when she received a pager message from her brother Dunzi, she went to the post office to answer the call and complained to the person.

"What? Chenchen has a partner?" Dunzi found it unbelievable, he had never heard of it!

"I'm just guessing. Brother Chenchen might have a girlfriend, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to me." Shuangshuang felt more and more aggrieved. How could this person be like this?

"Hahahaha, if it's really a good thing, you don't know, Uncle Wu is worried that he won't find a partner, and he asked me to introduce him to someone, saying that I do business outside and know a lot of girls. If he really finds a partner, I will have to report to Uncle Wu."

Both of them felt even more upset when they heard the hearty laughter of Dunzi brother on the other end of the phone...

"Okay, wait till I come over, I'll help you interrogate your brother Chenchen! Have him bring the target out for you to see."

"Are you coming over?"

"Yes, I came here in early March to choose a place. Your brother Dunzi is planning to open a clothing store in the capital."

"Really?! Brother Dunzi, come here!"

"When I get there, let's have a meal first and then I'll examine him carefully."

Dunzi was coming to the capital, and Wu Xiangchen could no longer hide from Shuangshuang, so he had to agree to host a welcome dinner for him in early March.

Dunzi brought a suitcase with him this time, which contained a lot of daily necessities. He planned to live in the capital for a while and develop his career.

At the train station entrance, Wu Xiangchen saw his good brother coming out. After the two of them got together, they first went to a guesthouse to get a room and put their luggage away. Then they prepared to go to the hotel. They would go directly from the school and the three of them would meet at the hotel.

"Are you really planning to live in the capital permanently this time?"

"Yes! What do you think? Are you happy? From now on, we two brothers can hang out together again!" Dunzi devoted himself to his career and was ambitious to make a big splash.

"Very good!" Wu Xiangchen was really happy. Then he thought, when Dunzi comes, it will be better for him to take care of both of them. He won't have to worry about them and will naturally stop thinking about them...

"Let's go, Shuangshuang must be waiting impatiently. This girl is just greedy." Dunzi put his hand on Wu Xiangchen's shoulder, urging him to hurry up.

——

At this time, in the Capital View Hotel, two girls were sitting at a square table in the corner of the lobby.

Lu Qing was called out by Shuangshuang for dinner, but when it was time to eat, he didn't order any food, saying that he wanted to wait for someone.

"Who are we waiting for?"

Shuangshuang blinked at her and said mysteriously, "Right away, right here! You know him too!"

The author has something to say:

Chenchen: I actually have such thoughts, I am definitely not a human being...

Shuangshuang: It’s too much that you don’t want to see me now that you have a partner.

《Waiting for a counterattack from Chenchen》^O^

Lu Qing: Who are you waiting for?

Dunzi: (>_<) It’s me

The four of them finally gathered together to meet!
