"Yu Xiangyang!" The leader on duty during the night patrol shone the flashlight on Yu Xiangyang's face, and he couldn't help but squint.
When I looked again, Cheng Jingmo had already closed his eyes and looked like he was fast asleep.
The leader lowered his voice and said, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? You have the energy to perform well in the competition!"
"Yes!" Yu Xiangyang returned to his berth dejectedly.
In mid-to-late August in the south city, the temperature is approaching 40 degrees Celsius.
Yu Xiangnian almost never left the house. Every day he either translated in his room or went to Qiu Yang's house to discuss with Qiu Yang what words and phrases could be used to more accurately express the meaning of the work.
Qiu Yang also went from being unconvinced at first to being half-believing and half-doubting, but now he completely believes that Yu Xiangnian is fully capable of doing the translation job.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, the spoiled and willful young lady has grown into a down-to-earth, hardworking person who can calm down and do what she wants to do.
Qiu Yang was puzzled, but also relieved by this.
In more than half a month, Yu Xiangnian has translated more than 50,000 words of works and two press releases.
In his spare time or before going to bed at night, Yu Xiangnian would also think of Cheng Jingmo.
It's a bit like the feeling of lovesickness, with a touch of sweetness and unspeakable sorrow.
In modern society, a phone call or a video call might be able to ease this longing, but here, she can do nothing.
Even what Cheng Jingmo did is unknown.
This kind of longing cannot be relieved, but it accumulates every day, just like a bottle of water, accumulating a little bit every day, and maybe one day it will overflow.
It was the end of August when Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo met again.
That afternoon, she was working quietly in her room when she heard Yu Xiangyang's noisy voice coming from downstairs.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized after a moment that Yu Xiangyang was back!
Did Cheng Jingmo come?
She rushed out of the room in a hurry and rushed downstairs. There were still several steps to the living room on the first floor when she saw two tall figures.
Yu Xiangyang and Cheng Jingmo were still wearing military uniforms and caps, and carrying a large military backpack.
Yu Xiangyang held a child in each hand, Duoduo and Guangming, while Cheng Jingmo held Xiaojie in his arms. The three children cheered excitedly.
Their eyes met, and there were undercurrents in their eyes. They just looked at each other silently, and no one was willing to look away.
The longing that had been accumulating for a long time seemed to be about to overflow at this moment, and she had the urge to rush up and hug Cheng Jingmo.
Suddenly, Yu Xiangyang shouted at Yu Xiangnian, who was standing stupidly on the stairs, "Are you stupid? We're just a little darker and thinner, how could you not recognize us?!"
Yu Xiangnian became much more sober. He first looked away and rolled his eyes at Yu Xiangyang. "You've become more than just darker and thinner! You're actually shiny black!"
"Tsk!" Yu Xiangyang put the two children down, walked over and flicked Yu Xiangnian on the forehead, "I'm your third brother, show some respect, especially in front of Cheng Jingmo!"
Yu Xiangnian touched her forehead and noticed that her outfit today was too ugly.
She wore a bulky, gray top that just reached her thighs.
This was designed based on a T-shirt and she asked Wang Hongxiang to make it, with the main purpose of keeping cool.
Her hair was casually tied behind her head, loosely distributed, with many strands of hair scattered on her temples. She was wearing a pair of flip-flops on her feet, and her thumbs were moving.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, how could she appear in front of Cheng Jingmo like this? !
She was a little annoyed why she didn't dress up properly today.
"I'm going upstairs to change my clothes first."
After Yu Xiangnian went upstairs, Yu Xiangyang nudged Cheng Jingmo's elbow and asked, "Are you stupid too?"
Cheng Jingmo then turned his gaze away from the stairs, but Yu Xiangnian's long, white and slender legs were still in his mind.
Today's Yu Xiangnian has another kind of beauty, casual and lazy...
Yu Xiangnian changed into a dress and went downstairs. Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang had already put down their backpacks and taken off their hats.
The two men had indeed become thinner and darker. They were both thin to begin with, and their faces looked even more angular at this moment.
Cheng Jingmo sat on the sofa, Xiaojie lay on his lap, telling him about what had happened in the past few days.
When Yu Xiangnian walked over, she glanced at Cheng Jingmo. Coincidentally, Cheng Jingmo also looked up at her. Their eyes met and then looked away at the same time.
In less than half an hour, everyone in the family came home from get off work one after another.
Yu Jiashun tried to restrain himself and didn't want to show his happiness, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes still betrayed him.
Yu Xiangyang waited until everyone was present before he began to talk about their situation during this period.
Cheng Jingmo lived up to expectations and once again won the first place in the overall competition, and also won the first place in three individual events. Yu Xiangyang also won the first place in two other individual events.
When he said this, Yu Xiangnian secretly gave a thumbs up to Cheng Jingmo beside him.
She didn't say a word, and the thumb was raised for only one or two seconds, but Cheng Jingmo felt that all his hard work was worth it!
Yu Jiashun endured it again and again, but he couldn't bear it anymore and simply gave up.
"Niannian, take out my bottle of eight-year-old special supply wine, and let's have a drink."
The son and son-in-law brought glory to the theater, and the Southern Theater Command Army once again won first place in the competition.
Three good things coming together!
His face is even brighter!
You must take a couple of sips!
Yu Xiangnian poured each of them a small cup.
Yu Jiashun raised his glass and said with emotion, "As a father, I'm proud of you. As a leader, I thank you for your hard work. Come on! Let's have a drink!"
The white wine was spicy, and everyone frowned after taking a sip.
After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu asked Cheng Jingmo to stay at her house tonight.
The reason was that their house had been unoccupied for so long, and it was dusty everywhere. It was so late, and they still had to go back to clean it up. They were already exhausted after so many days, so they didn't want to bother.
Cheng Jingmo looked at Yu Xiangnian, as if asking for her opinion.
Yu Xiangnian understood Zhao Ruozhu's thoughts. Before, she had no feelings for Cheng Jingmo, but Zhao Ruozhu kept trying to bring them together. Now that he knew she had some feelings for Cheng Jingmo, he had to work even harder to bring them together.
Besides, what Zhao Ruozhu said was true.
It’s so late, and I still have to go back and clean up. I’m too lazy to do that.
It’s not like I haven’t slept before! Anyway, it’s just pure sleep!
"Let's stay here tonight," Yu Xiangnian said, "and go back to pack up tomorrow."
The two returned to the house and Yu Xiangnian went to take a shower.
Cheng Jingmo noticed that on the desk were English books, dictionaries, pens, and a thick stack of her manuscripts.
The bed was still a mess, with the quilt rolled into a ball.
Yu Xiangnian came out of the shower and took out a set of pajamas from the closet for Cheng Jingmo, "Go take a shower first."
Zhao Ruozhu prepared this set of pajamas when they got married, and it finally came in handy these two times.
Having experienced sleeping together last time, the two of them lay in the same bed tacitly that night.
