"Is there something wrong?" Bi Yue wondered why Junhui appeared again.
"Are you feeling better?"
Bi Yue thought of yesterday and nodded immediately: "By the way, thank you for yesterday, I feel much better."
Junhui put his hands in his trouser pockets and said thank you to Bi Yue without making any comment.
He smiled with a bit of helplessness, and said a bit playfully:
“Oh, then I’m relieved.
Bi Yue, what should I do? I feel like I've been away from Kyoto for too long, so long that I don't have any common topics with my poker friends anymore.
I haven't eaten lunch yet. Would you like to treat me to a meal as a thank you? Then next time I take a vacation, I won't bring you stones, but seafood. Can we exchange the conditions?"
Bi Yue laughed and said:
"Junhui, when we first met, I was selling nuts in the cinema, and you guys, a bunch of rich kids, came in to watch movies.
You want me to treat you to a meal now?
Well, I'm just expressing my mixed feelings at the moment. I'm indeed rich, so let's go."
After getting in the car, Bi Yue introduced Liang Xiaoxiao:
"This is Junhui, who will have lunch with us. Pick a place with a nice environment. I will treat you two."
Bi Yue has been too depressed recently and doesn't want to go back to her own restaurant for dinner. She knows that she has been acting abnormally recently.
Liang Xiaoxiao turned around and gave Junhui a silly smile, but in fact her mind was in a state of confusion, thinking:
Where did she get this? They are together every day, how come Yueyue met another guy?
Silly Liang Xiaoxiao didn't know what she was thinking, and actually blurted out and asked Junhui:
"You're not a soldier too, are you?"
Junhui raised an eyebrow: "Huh? You actually guessed it right."
Liang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened immediately, she was shocked.
…
It was also a newly opened restaurant. Although its decoration seemed quite high-end and luxurious to people in the 1980s, it seemed a bit out of place in Bi Yue's eyes.
After dinner, Junhui was very talkative. He told the two girls about the outside world, the places he had been to on missions, the funny things they had done in some ethnic minority areas, and the interesting things that happened in the barracks when he was a soldier.
When Junhui relaxed, Liang Xiaoxiao finally asked her a question that interested her:
"You? You're not from the special forces, are you?"
Bi Yue couldn't bear to hear such a stupid question anymore, so she tilted her head and said:
"He and Chu Yifeng are from the same place."
"They are together?" Liang Xiaoxiao repeated, and asked Junhui in surprise:
"You guys together?"
Bi Yue didn't know why, but these words hit her funny spot and she burst out laughing.
Junhui's heart was happy when he saw the smiling face, but then he felt uncomfortable when he thought that it was because Chu Yifeng was mentioned. Complex emotions surrounded him all the time.
"Yeah, together."
Liang Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Eh? Then Chu..."
Jun Hui interrupted without leaving any trace. He didn't want to hear "Bi Yue's boyfriend is Chu Yifeng." Otherwise, what should he do next? How should he play dumb?
So he immediately responded, preferring to use a self-deprecating way:
"He's the captain of the second squadron, and I'm the captain of the third squadron. We were naked kids, growing up in the same compound. Do you think we're together?"
"Oh." Liang Xiaoxiao immediately gave affirmation: "Then it seems that you are also very good."
Junhui replied with a smile:
"I'm not as good as Brother Chu. Well, I should say I'm not as good as him in many aspects."
Bi Yue raised her eyes, and Liang Xiaoxiao politely waved her hand: "How could that be?"
"For example, I'm not as rational as he is. Before I came back this time, he happened to be going out on a mission.
We were still chatting, and I asked him why he didn't call home. He said he didn't have that habit, and I found out that he did.
No matter what mission he was on, he would not tell his family before or after he came back.
I couldn't do that. I remember I was promoted to deputy company commander. At that time, I was still serving in Miyun. Whenever I was assigned a mission that was not too dangerous, I would call home to let them know.
In this regard, I am not as good as Brother Chu.
Brother Chu once said, "How can a soldier do anything without worries?"
Junhui also mentioned two points in which he was not as good as Chu Yifeng.
For example, whenever Chu Yifeng is busy doing something, such as studying, he will be single-minded and focused, and will get angry at anyone who disturbs him until Chu Yifeng has satisfied his task.
But Liang Xiaoxiao had no intention of asking. She turned her head to look at Bi Yue.
Out on a mission? Then who would she call in a couple of days? Huh?
When Junhui finished speaking, Bi Yue lowered her head to pick up some food and asked calmly:
"Chu Yifeng is on a mission now and is not in the army, right?"
Jun Hui looked at the top of Bi Yue's head opposite him, narrowed his eyes slightly without leaving any trace, then the corners of his lips widened and he said carelessly:
"Yes. He went to the south and was flown away. I guess he won't be brought back until I go back on leave."
You know what, I think I should go see his grandmother and tell Aunt Chu so that they won’t worry.
Also, I would like to remind the two ladies not to ask me about Brother Chu's mission anymore. I have already said enough about military secrets today."
As soon as these words came out, Bi Yue's heart tightened. She was worried about Chu Yifeng's mission, and also felt an indescribable loss.
Although she didn't want to tell Chu Yifeng, she had no choice but to tell him. He wasn't even there. He went out on a mission and didn't tell her.
This is her and him.
Thinking about it again, Chu Yifeng is really just like what Junhui said.
Since I went there, I haven't called her much. The same thing happened this time. The only calls I received were one and a letter from her when I first arrived.
She used to tell herself that she must be busy seeking promotions, training, and avoiding special treatment.
During the first two days after leaving, she felt a little lost, as she had given herself to him, but he left without any worries.
Chu Yifeng had said that writing letters was inconvenient because the special brigade's letters had to be inspected and transported to nearby counties and cities before they could be sent. But how could he have sent two letters in a row just to ask her for something during the Chinese New Year? Another letter was mailed to his hometown in Northeast China.
If you want to find someone, you can find her no matter what, but you still don’t miss her.
Now I am not used to listening to Junhui summarizing Chu Yifeng's characteristics.
For some reason, Bi Yue suddenly thought for the first time that perhaps, her position in Chu Yifeng's heart was not that important.
After the three of them finished their meal and left the restaurant, Junhui knew that this time he had to stop at the right time. It would be too obvious and embarrassing to ask him to go to school and wait until school was over in the evening.
He said to Bi Yue:
"You guys go to class, I'll walk back by myself. So, as a grown man, I have to treat you to a meal. I'll treat you back tomorrow. Miss Liang Xiaoxiao, please give me some face. Tomorrow, the three of us will meet at the school gate. I'll take you to a new place, okay?"
…
He is good at chatting, very talkative and easy-going. This is the first impression Junhui gave to Liang Xiaoxiao.
Where is Bi Yue?
Although she knew that this kind of rich kid must have another side, she didn't expect that Junhui could talk much more nonsense than Chu Yifeng, and it was interesting to listen to him.
