263: It turns out they are old comrades
Xia Ning said arrogantly:
"Then it's none of your business. He's the winner anyway."
"That must be amazing!"
"Of course he's amazing. Have you ever seen a director so young?"
All the female educated youth stared at Zhou Ziheng with admiration, chattering to each other, just like a group of little fangirls.
Yu Xiaoye stood by, looking at their infatuated expressions, and could faintly hear them crying out in their hearts, "Wow, so handsome, so handsome!"
Fortunately, everyone was more reserved at that time, otherwise I would have been afraid that they would have rushed up and surrounded Director Zhou.
Below the stage, Liang Qin walked quickly to Zhou Ziheng.
Liang Qin didn't know in advance that Zhou Ziheng would come down today to inspect the combat readiness training. She seriously suspected that Zhou Ziheng was "abusing his power for personal gain" and was actually coming to see the little girl under the pretext of inspecting the combat readiness training.
Although this is not like Zhou Ziheng's style.
But what style does a man who is in unrequited love have?
I heard that they specially called Yu Xiaoye over for lunch. Liang Qin suspected that this was also Zhou Ziheng's work.
So when they met, Liang Qin teased:
"Brother, you're so brave that you openly invite people over for dinner. Aren't you afraid that others will be suspicious?"
"It's a misunderstanding. I didn't call her over. It was Director Sui who called her over."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence. It hits close to home for you. How about I call her over so you can have a few words alone?"
Zhou Ziheng pretended to glance at the stage nonchalantly, and caught a glimpse of the conspicuous red on the stage. It seemed as if the entire stage was only that red.
"No--"
Liang Qin heard that there seemed to be strong dissatisfaction and complaints in this sentence, and asked with a smile:
"What's wrong? Did you two have any unpleasantness?"
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Zhou Ziheng's lips:
"Why would I have any trouble with such a heartless person?"
Liang Qin couldn't help laughing out loud. She had never seen Zhou Ziheng so frustrated before, and she found it strange:
"I've never seen anyone make you so angry."
Zhou Ziheng is a person who never shows his emotions. If his slight emotional changes happened to someone else, they would be magnified many times over.
Zhou Ziheng also felt that his emotions were too exposed, so he quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction and said:
"I just came over to say hello and will be leaving soon."
Liang Qin nodded.
The two of them didn't say much, just greeted each other briefly, and then Zhou Ziheng left.
After Zhou Ziheng left, Liang Qin turned around and walked towards the stage.
When the girls on the stage saw Sister Liang coming back, they immediately started singing again, and while singing, their eyes followed Zhou Ziheng's back.
The chorus did not return to normal until he disappeared from sight.
After rehearsing for a while, the team members stopped to drink water and rest.
Everyone held a cup of water and gathered around Liang Qin.
Xia Ning asked first:
"Sister Liang, do you know our Director Zhou?"
Liang Qin took a sip of water from the canteen and nodded.
"How did you two meet?"
The girls were all gossipy to death, and even Yu Xiaoye was curious. She sat on the edge of the stage, holding her can of water, and listened to their questions.
Facing the girls' curiosity, Liang Qin did not hide anything and said:
"My wife and Director Zhou are old comrades."
"Wow, they are old comrades!"
The girls exclaimed in surprise and felt that the word "old comrade" was very sacred.
Young girls of that generation particularly admired soldiers. When they heard that Liang Qin's lover and Director Zhou were old comrades-in-arms, their excitement and admiration were beyond words.
Seeing that the girls seemed quite interested, Liang Qin continued:
"My lover's life was also saved by Director Zhou."
The girls seemed even more shocked, and Xia Ning asked:
"Sister Liang, quickly tell us what happened and how Director Zhou saved your lover's life!"
Sister Liang took another sip of water to moisten her throat, and her eyes began to sink into memories:
"They are real warriors who have fought in wars. A few years ago, they were deployed to the southwest and fought across borders.
Director Zhou was fighting on the front line, and my wife was in charge of escorting ammunition to the front line. When they were almost at their destination, they were ambushed by enemy soldiers. The troops were dispersed by the enemy, and my wife was also injured by the artillery shell and fell to the ground. She was conscious but unable to move.
Later, the front-line combat troops rushed to rescue us. Director Zhou found my wife still alive among the dead bodies. He carried her on his back and carried her all the way back to the camp, thus saving her life.
Otherwise, my lover would have been buried in a foreign country and might never come back."
At the end of her speech, tears welled up in Liang Qin's eyes.
She had too vivid a memory of what happened back then.
At that time, Liang Qin was still a female soldier in the art troupe, and was secretly in love with Chen Shukui, who was her boyfriend at the time.
Liang Qin was very worried when she learned that her boyfriend was going to the front line to fight.
But there is nothing you can do about it. A soldier's duty is to obey the orders of the troops and go to the front line. There is no choice.
As a result, there was no news from Chen Shukui for a whole year and a half after he left.
Liang Qin worried day and night, fearing that something might happen to her boyfriend.
Every time I heard about the list of casualties on the front line, I would look at it with trepidation, for fear of seeing my boyfriend's name.
Even seeing just the word "Chen" would make her tremble with fear.
After reading the list and confirming that Chen Shukui's name was not on it, Liang Qin felt relieved.
But even so, I still can't stop having nightmares, and every nightmare has the same content.
In her dream, she was in the jungle of the southwest, surrounded by gunfire.
Chen Shukui, who was being chased by the enemy, suddenly ran to her covered in blood and fell to the ground and died in front of her.
I always wake up from such dreams.
For Liang Qin, that period was the darkest time in her life. Until now, she dare not recall how she managed to get through that time. It hurts her heart whenever she thinks about it.
Until one day, I suddenly received a letter from Chen Shukui.
Liang Qin didn't dare to read the contents of the letter, fearing that it was written by someone else and told her that Chen Shukui had died in battle.
However, when she opened the letter with trembling hands, it told her that Chen Shukui was recuperating in a camp hospital.
After reading the letter, Liang Qin couldn't help crying. After crying, she asked for a long vacation and went to the camp hospital.
She didn't know how serious the injury was and whether he was disabled.
When we arrived at the hospital and saw Chen Shukui, we found that although he was seriously injured, he was in good health. At least his limbs were still there. The only difference was that he had a large scar on his face, which looked shocking.
Chen Shukui told Liang Qin that it was a man named Zhou Ziheng who saved him.
Liang Qin said that after her injury healed, she would definitely thank the person.
Not long after, before Chen Shukui was discharged from the hospital, another group of wounded soldiers were sent down from the front line. Among them was Zhou Ziheng, who was shot in multiple places.
So Liang Qin took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of the two wounded.
Later, Chen Shukui left the camp hospital and returned to the army to continue his recuperation, and Liang Qin also left.
After they returned, they applied for marriage.
When the marriage application was approved, they specially sent some wedding candy to Zhou Ziheng. However, the candy had melted by the time Zhou Ziheng received it after going around in circles.
