Chapter 237: Once Upon a Time in America
"He actually likes watching movies?"
The woman in the white coat pulled a DVD from the shelf and looked at the title.
“Once Upon a Time in America?”
Later, Secretary Liu, then Major Liu, answered with a paralyzed face,
"Yes, the Major General only watches this one movie. He watches it over and over again during breaks."
Cheng Yuqing, who looked the same as he did three years ago, raised his eyebrows with a smile, looking rather surprised.
"I thought your Major General was the kind of guy who was completely unconcerned with worldly matters except for missions."
She touched the rough edge of the DVD packaging with her fingertips and said,
"I've seen this movie before, and there seems to be a famous line in it... What did it say?"
She stuffed the DVD into the projector, looking as if she was trying hard to recall the past.
After a few seconds, the screen lit up, showing a reminder to resume broadcasting, and Cheng Yuqing pressed OK.
The movie then picks up where it was last paused.
Cheng Yuqing immediately remembered that classic line, because the person who watched it last time also happened to stop here.
That was what the hero said when he reunited with his first love after being released from prison.
"When I'm tired of everything, I think of you. I think of you living and existing somewhere in the world, and I'm willing to endure everything. Your existence is very important to me."
Cheng Yuqing was stunned.
The movie continued to play, but she was gripped by a sad feeling.
This place is a military base on the border of the empire. Cheng Zhiyuan can get such a spacious residence equipped with a projector, which is a special treatment for the major general.
But even though it is spacious, it is still an empty, enclosed house. Outside the door is harsh sandstorms and barren land. Cheng Zhiyuan is busy with various dangerous tasks every day, and the only time he can rest is at night.
She could even imagine the man returning here injured, sitting silently on the sofa and replaying this line from the movie over and over again. Outside the window was the raging wind, and soldiers coming and going on missions with searchlights. The night slowly swallowed up the closed house, and only the dim tones of the movie illuminated his silent and motionless figure.
Cheng Yuqing took a deep breath and turned off the movie. Then she looked around the room and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Deputy General Liu immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Miss Cheng, without the general's orders..."
"What's the matter?" Cheng Yuqing pulled the door handle and turned back, "As your general's aunt, am I not qualified to see his bedroom?"
She unscrewed the handle and pushed the door open with one hand.
At this time, the door of the living room was pushed open silently.
The man stood at the door and looked at her coldly.
"What are you doing?"
Cheng Yuqing paused.
The desert camouflage makes the man's already tall body look even more upright and slender, but he just stands there silently like a blood-licking sword drawn from its sheath, with a sharp and chilling edge, giving people a sense of danger that may put their lives on the line at any time.
She couldn't move another step under such a gaze.
Even if she is an elder.
Cheng Yuqing finally compromised and closed the bedroom door again. When he turned around, his expression had changed. He was teasing but also pretending to be relaxed.
"Why? My Master Cheng is still thinking about that woman who refused the marriage proposal?"
"I have to go to a meeting now to arrange an overseas rescue mission." The man walked in and casually unbuttoned his uniform, his voice calm.
"I'll probably be back in two days. After that, I'll have to go to the Amazon to lead the individual training of the special forces, which will take a month."
The man took off his camouflage and put on a uniform with epaulettes. Scars of varying sizes flashed across his muscular and beautifully toned body.
He turned around while buttoning his shirt, his face still showing no emotion.
"I have so many things to do that I don't have time to think about anyone."
"But you, Auntie. You came here under the pretext of a regular checkup with the psychiatrist. Why didn't you stay in your treatment room and come to me?"
