In the cinema, the dark environment made Xu Zhiyi yawn continuously. Xu Zhiyi listened to the sound, slowly closed his eyes, leaned his head on Qin Zheng's shoulder, and fell asleep.
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi's sleeping face, like an unfinished painting, waiting to be discovered and admired. Her face, faintly illuminated by the darkness, seemed even more beautiful. She lacked her usual liveliness, only tranquility and peace. Her beauty took on a different allure in her sleep, and the movie paled in comparison.
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi, and only came back to his senses when the staff called him.
"Comrade, hurry up and wake up your partner, we are about to get off work."
Qin Zheng's eyes were sharp. "Be quiet, don't wake her up."
A staff member on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade, we are going to get off work."
Xu Zhiyi was awakened from her sleep by the noise. She looked at the exposed cinema, and Qin Zheng and the staff beside her.
Xu Zhiyi blushed, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
Qin Zheng asked, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I just woke up. The movie's over, let's go."
"good."
After Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng left, the staff member standing nearby was left shouting angrily, "I came here just to tell them to leave. Why is that man glaring at me so viciously? Seriously, who did I offend?"
Xu Zhiyi had just woken up and went out again. The sunlight outside made it difficult for her to open her eyes. Qin Zheng stood in front of Xu Zhiyi, blocking the light. "Are you feeling better now?"
Xu Zhiyi slowly opened her eyes and looked at Qin Zheng so closely for the first time. She sighed in her heart: He is so handsome. Such a handsome man will be mine from now on.
Xu Zhiyi pulled Qin Zheng's arm and said, "Let's go."
Qin Zheng looked at the little hand on his arm and smiled, "Okay."
After Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi finished their meal, they went to the Temple of Heaven Park to sit and chat for a while. When Qin Zheng returned to the dormitory, he saw Xie Heng, who had returned at some point, and walked over to him without saying a word.
"Qin Zheng, don't take what I said today to heart. I was just talking nonsense."
“………”
"Qin Zheng, when did you write a letter home? How come I didn't know?"
“………”
"Qin Zheng, are you going to be promoted?"
"have no idea."
"Qin Zheng, everyone outside says that you were promoted because you were connected to the Xu family. Why don't you explain? In my opinion, the best explanation would be to resign from your position yourself. That way, no one will talk nonsense in front of you."
Qin Zheng looked at Xie Heng and said sarcastically, "If the Xu family really gave me this promotion, I would have resigned. But I was promoted this time because the organization saw my abilities. I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I resign? Why should I care about what they think?"
"Qin Zheng, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it carefully."
Qin Zheng looked at Xie Heng as if he were a fool, then took his toiletries and left.
That night, Xie Heng couldn't fall asleep again. He sat up and saw Qin Zheng sleeping beside him, and sighed again.
Thinking back to what Zhang Yumei had said to him today, he realized that his best option now was to return to his original unit. However, he really didn't want to give up this opportunity to stay in the capital. He was unwilling to see Qin Zheng become the superior person, and he was jealous of him.
Ever since I met Zhang Yumei, she's been acting all over me, constantly boasting about how she'll be great in the future. Perhaps it was right for me to return to my original unit.
This thought flashed through Xie Heng's mind, and he shook his head and laughed: It's ridiculous that he was actually brainwashed by her.
At the Xu family, Xu Zhiyi was talking to Xu Chengde about Qin Zheng's thoughts in Xu Chengde's study.
Xu Chengde sighed, "Qin Zheng can think this way, which shows that he is not short-sighted. Qin Zheng's promotion documents will be issued soon. Qin Zheng still has about two years. Let's wait and see next year."
"Okay, Dad."
Under Xu Chengde's gaze, Xu Zhiyi continued, "Dad, I think it's best for Qin Zheng to return to his original unit. First, everyone in his original unit knows Qin Zheng's abilities, which will be of great help to his future promotions. Second, Qin Zheng has been training for four years and took the initiative to return, which will improve outsiders' impression of him. Moreover, Qin Zheng's original unit is not far from the capital, so it will be very convenient for me to come back to see Dad in the future."
"I've also learned about the medical conditions at Qin Zheng's former unit. They're still developing. If I follow him, I'll have more room for development. At the very least, I'll be offered a director position. Most importantly, if I leave, Dad will be safer in the capital."
Xu Chengde said angrily with a cold face: "Be good, don't talk nonsense."
“Dad, am I talking nonsense? Am I right? Don’t you know?”
That night, Xu Chengde's sighs lingered in the study.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of 1965. After six months of getting along, Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng became increasingly close. Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng were even closer.
However, the only thing that made Zhang Yumei unwilling was that Qin Zheng was promoted to division chief of staff, while Xie Heng was still only the regimental commander.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, comrades in military academies and troops are also busy.
Xu Chengde invited Qin Zheng to the Xu family for the New Year celebrations. Meanwhile, Xie Heng also took the initiative and was invited by Zhang Dabing to the Zhang family.
"Dad, don't worry, I know I won't go empty-handed."
The person on the other end of the line kept telling him, "Second brother, when you go to a lesbian's house for the first time, you must be polite and don't let others look down on you."
