Chapter 72: Fairy Boyfriend
Sun Yuanyuan and the others all thought that the senior was really outstanding, but since Xia Miao already had a boyfriend, they would not break up their marriage.
So everyone started to surround Xia Miao and ask her what her boyfriend was like?
Xia Miao had a sweet smile on her face, and the image of He Shu in her mind was deep and vivid .
"He's very handsome."
"nice?"
"Yeah, he's very clean. I always feel like he smells like the sun, just like a quilt that has been dried in the sun."
Xia Miao's face was full of longing, which made the three girls in the same dormitory laugh so hard. It was the first time she heard someone describe a boyfriend as a quilt that had been dried in the sun.
"Oh, if you laugh again I won't say anything." Xia Miao's face turned red from laughing.
"Okay." Sun Yuanyuan waved her hand: "We won't laugh anymore, please continue talking."
Xia Miao sat down at her desk, propping her chin with her hand: "His voice is nice, too, like a spring in the mountains in summer, clear and a little cool..."
"puff…"
Several people burst into laughter again. This description is really perfect.
Seeing that Xia Miao was about to get angry, they hurried to comfort her, and everyone moved stools and sat together.
"Don't be surprised when something happens suddenly, and don't be angry when something happens without reason."
Xia Miao shook her head and continued, "He is a calm person, and it is rare to see him have big mood swings. We have known each other for almost seven years, and I have never seen him laugh loudly, cry loudly, or get angry."
Zhou Xiaoduo, the youngest girl, was surprised and asked, "Don't you think such a person is scary? You don't even know if he is angry or happy."
Xia Miao shook her head: "How can he be scary? A gentleman is as gentle as jade, he just has that kind of temperament. Even if he stands there and doesn't speak, people can find him in the crowd at a glance."
When Xia Miao talked about He Shu, her face was full of happiness.
Another girl named Li Qiutong suddenly spoke up after listening to Xia Miao's description: "I really want to meet your boyfriend. What kind of a god is he?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girls burst into laughter again.
The letter from the junior to Xia Miao had long been thrown aside and no one was curious about it anymore...
He Shu sneezed twice in a row. His aunt thought he caught a cold and found him a coat.
There were so many new clothes suitable for him at home. Later, He Shu found out that these were all bought by his aunt for Brother Guangxing.
Every year, she buys new clothes for her son and waits for him to wear them when he comes back.
After chatting with my grandfather for a while, the old man asked most about He Shu's previous life.
He Shu did not talk too much about those bad memories, nor did he mention the family's financial difficulties when his mother was sick, nor did he mention the past when he was bullied by classmates and excluded in school.
Not to mention the years he lived alone, the terrifying and unbearable loneliness he experienced.
Instead, he talked about some of the good people he met, such as Teacher Li Mei, classmate Xia Miao, and the uncles and aunts at the car wash.
The old man also praised He Shu for doing the right thing by recognizing Zhao Qishui as his godfather.
He also said that when He Shu was on vacation or during the New Year or other holidays, he would ask Zhao Qishui to come to Dadu so that they could get to know each other and treat each other as relatives in the future.
My uncle Qi Zhijun really has no presence at home and is completely different from how he was in the army.
Only grandpa and aunt were talking to He Shu, while he just stood there and wondered what he was thinking.
We chatted until almost 9 o'clock. Grandpa was a little tired, so my uncle sent him back to his room to rest, and my aunt also asked He Shu to go to bed early.
When we got up to the second floor, my aunt suddenly said, "Xiaoshu, do you want to see your brother Guangxing's room?"
He Shu didn't know whether he should look or not, as his aunt had already pulled him to the door of the room at the corner of the corridor.
I opened the door and turned on the light. It was about the same size as a guest room, but there were a lot of things placed inside, as if someone had always lived here.
In addition to the bed and wardrobe, there is an entire model wall in the house.
There are many models on the wall, including weapons, rockets, fighter planes , and tanks, densely packed together, almost all the existing equipment models.
On the wall next to the bed, there are many basketball posters and hand-drawn basketball stars.
"These models were bought by your uncle for your brother. He only let his kids play with these since they were little."
"But your brother Guangxing actually likes playing basketball and painting. He even won awards when he was in school."
As my aunt spoke, she walked to the display case, opened a drawer, and took out the certificate to show He Shu.
"If it weren't for your uncle, maybe your brother Guangxing would have become a painter. He once told me that he wanted to apply to Huaqing Academy of Fine Arts in the future."
"What's wrong with drawing? But that child listened too much to your uncle. After graduating from junior high school, your uncle wanted to send him directly to the army. Later, your aunt didn't allow him to study in high school for another two years."
"His grades are pretty good. If his family agrees to let him enter an art school, he will definitely be admitted. I know my son best. He is the best no matter what he does..."
"Later, he listened to your uncle and joined the army directly. Within a year, he was transferred to the special operations team."
"At that time, your brother Guangxing was only 18 years old, just an adult... Every time he came back from special training, he seemed like a different person..."
While his aunt was chattering about the past, He Shu looked at the models on the wall and the posters opposite. He knew that the brother his aunt was talking about must have had a difficult time making a choice at that time .
"I am the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. I can understand the thoughts of your grandfather and your uncle."
My aunt turned around and took He Shu's hand: "I also know what your uncle means. He wants you to follow your brother Guangxing's path."
Speaking of this, tears welled up in my aunt's eyes. Perhaps in her eyes, He Shu had become Qi Guangxing again.
"I am not talking to you as the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, but as a mother."
"Xiao Shu, whether it's defending the country or any other honor, let others take it. Why my son? Don't go. If you go, they will send you to a dangerous place..."
He Shu was once again held in the arms of her aunt. This time, she seemed not confused, but also seemed confused...
He Shu remained silent. This topic was too heavy. As the son of a soldier, defending the country was his natural mission.
Someone has to do these things in exchange for a stable life for others.
My aunt said that as the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, she could understand it, but He Shu did not really understand what my uncle and his family were thinking.
Or it can be said that He Shu's thoughts have not yet reached that level...
I don't know when my uncle Qi Zhijun came over, stood at the door for a while, and then took my aunt away.
He Shu stayed in the room alone and picked up a tank model to play with it.
Ever since arriving at the Qi family, He Shu sensitively noticed that everyone in the Qi family was in a very nervous state.
About his recognition of this relative and his future choices.
But He Shu felt that it was too early for him to make any choice now. The past had never appeared in his life, and today was just the first time they met.
Although what he saw and heard today shocked and moved him.
Just like the revolutionary predecessors he had read about in books before, their glorious deeds were inspiring, worthy of admiration and learning.
But it is not possible for him to empathize immediately. After all, he grew up in a greenhouse and has not experienced those years of war.
What we see are nothing but the daily necessities and trivial matters of the market.
He is just an ordinary person, and he has not been influenced by this since he was a child...
"Go back to your room."
Qi Zhijun sent his wife back to the room and went to find He Shu again.
He Shu hummed and put the tank model back to its place.
"You can take it if you like."
He Shu shook his head. He didn't like it...
