The night sky of Jiangcheng is as black as ink.
Among eight or nine stars and two or three idle clouds, there is a lonely Qingluan fighter plane.
Beneath the blue phoenix is the mighty Yangtze River.
Under the river is the nuclear submarine.
Birds are in the sky and fish are in the water.
Si Hong lowered his eyes and turned on the automatic driving follow mode, his thoughts gradually drifting away through time.
That year she was 10 years old and traveled to Jiangcheng with her parents.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Did you fall?"
"Sister, are you crying? Mommy said it's ugly when children cry, so I won't cry."
"Here's some candy. It's very sweet. Don't cry if you eat it."
Si Hong sat on a step outside the Yellow Crane Tower scenic area, with slightly red eyes.
She didn't cry, she just hit her knee and it hurt.
The cute little kid in front of me held an unopened lollipop in its package and handed it to my mouth.
The lollipops were the kind sold at convenience stores for 50 cents each.
The little kid's black eyes were clear and pure, and when he stood, they were at the same level as himself.
I could feel that he felt a little sad when he gave away the lollipop.
He is talking to himself in a coaxing child's tone.
Si Hong took the lollipop, opened the package and put it in her mouth to suck under the expectant eyes of the little kid.
"Thank you, little brother."
“Hehe~”?(???????)?
"Sit down." Si Hong patted the step beside him.
"Sister, is it sweet?" The little kid became even shorter after sitting down, stretching his slender white neck and looking up at her mouth.
"Hmm," I didn't expect that the 5-cent lollipop could be so delicious.
Si Hong narrowed her eyes. The candy made her forget the pain.
My eyes inadvertently glanced at the little kid's face. His bright eyes were moist and his chubby little mouth was slightly open.
Si Hong was speechless, "Is this all you have?"
The little kid nodded without taking his eyes off her mouth for even a second.
Stopping the sucking, Si Hong handed it to him and pinched the pink little face, "I'll lick you three times, no more."
"Thank you, sister. I'll just lick it twice."
The little boy really did what he said. He licked it twice and returned it to her with satisfaction.
"Sister, are you alone?"
"My parents and I are traveling together, not alone. How old are you, little brother? Why don't you see your parents?"
The little kid's eyes were dim, and his head was drooping. "I'm three and a half years old. I came here with my mom. My dad went to a very far place, and mom said he would never come back. I miss him so much."
The 3-year-old kid didn’t understand, but the 10-year-old Si Hong already understood that the so-called very far away place did not mean that they would not come back, but that they could not come back.
"I want to cry when I miss my dad. Mom said men shouldn't cry all the time. Eat candy when you're sad. Are you sad now, sister?"
"Sister, don't be sad or feel pain anymore. Let's take half each." Si Hong bit the lollipop lightly with her teeth, and it broke into two pieces on the tip of her tongue.
"Here, it's sweet." He handed him the half with the stick.
Hmm!
The little kid has curved eyebrows and thick black eyelashes like crow feathers that flutter.
The big and the small sat quietly on the steps sharing their sweetness.
"Xiao An~ Xiao An~!" A woman's anxious call came from a distance.
"Mom, I'm here!"
The little bean stood up, patted his butt, turned around and winked at Si Hong: "Sister, my mom is here to see me, I have to go. Goodbye, sister! Don't cry secretly after eating the candy."
"Yeah, you too."
"Make a pinky promise."
...
Si Hong raised the corners of her lips. She had eaten countless candies since she was a child, but her little brother was always the sweetest one.
When they met on the bus, she originally thought it was their first time until Gu An's personal information was placed on her desk.
Grandpa asked himself why it was him?
It’s not because he is the only boy who takes the initiative to hold an umbrella for herself, but also because he is the one who will share the candy with herself without hesitation if there is only one left.
Fate was actually destined 15 years ago.
The Qingluan fighter plane followed the submarine silently all the way into the sea outlet.
As time passed, the submarine's diving depth increased and the target disappeared from the radar screen of the Qingluan fighter.
"Honghong, the submarine's route has deviated."
“Where will it go?”
"They probably changed their route to the US Air Force Base in Sakura. Let me see, we have had exercises in the nearby waters these days, no wonder. But these guys are really brave. They sneaked in and reached Jiangcheng, something that even US nuclear submarines dared not do. It's terrible." Jiang Xiaoxiao said, patting her chest.
Si Hong: "Tell your old man not to let anyone take advantage of you like today in the future."
"Don't worry, I have the simplest and most effective way to deal with it. There's only one Mr. Jason in the world."
Si Hong pursed her lips: He will soon become a thing of the past.
"We're conducting a military exercise. There are American reconnaissance planes in the sky. Do you want to avoid them?"
"You want me to hide from it?"
The Qingluan fighter has not yet been officially announced by Longguo and is still a secret weapon.
"Okay, I'll get it into the exercise sea and airspace. If you want to see it, go in and take a look."
Originally, they never intervened in national-level competitions.
But it's Honghong's bad mood at the moment, so it's her bad luck.
...
Inside the nuclear submarine, Kane asked Gu An to eat.
Since all the members inside were Western soldiers, the kitchen only prepared sandwiches, steaks and milk.
"How is it? Can you get used to eating Western food?"
"Fortunately, KFC and McDonald's are very common in Dragon Country."
Gu An took a bite of the sandwich, looked up and asked uncertainly, "They count as Western food...right?"
Kane was stunned. He had never considered this question before. He turned to look at Sallya. After all, she was a pure white Westerner.
"Puchi! Hahaha omygod!"
She leaned forward slightly, a strand of golden hair scattered across the ravine on her chest, and her skin shone dazzlingly under the orange light.
"Little boy, I serve authentic Western food. Don't people in Long country like to eat authentic food? Come to me after dinner. You are in the growth stage now, so I will give you a meal." Sallya still didn't give up. She had seen too many men, but not many were as pure, clean and interesting as this one.
Even if you can't eat and satisfy your craving, it can still help you relieve your boredom.
"No thanks, I still prefer Chinese food."
Gu An lowered his eyes and stared at the precision instruments and weapons and ammunition in various positions of the submarine, trying to engrave the entire internal structure into his mind.
Maybe it's a futile effort, maybe, who knows.
The space of a single bed in the bedroom is much narrower than that of a berth. Lying on the bed feels like lying on a commodity on a shelf in a supermarket warehouse.
Even turning over a full bag requires extreme caution.
Gu An felt that the only advantage was that he didn't have to worry about the woman getting horny and climbing into his bed in the middle of the night.
My sister said that boys should protect themselves when they go out.
So, he had to protect himself and wait for his sister to come find him.
Like a fish in the deep sea, Gu An's gaze penetrated the submarine and the dark and cold layers of sea water with his thoughts.
