Personal security

Chapter 36: The first confession

Li Fen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." The young and healthy smile was beautiful and calm, without any pretentiousness. Zhao Jianhui felt that if he could not grasp her, it would be a lifelong regret for him.

During the meal, Zhao Jianhui learned that Li Fen did not take the college entrance examination because of her family's poor financial conditions. Zhao Jianhui sighed deeply. If he hadn't gone to the military academy, would he have been like Li Fen?

"Can you tell me why you want to treat me to dinner? You are now a college student and will stay in the army as an officer after graduation. Are you willing to spend your whole life looking for someone without a job?" Li Fen still had a look on her face. She was blushing, but she still suppressed her shyness and asked the question she needed to ask.

Zhao Jianhui said honestly: "Ever since I saw you on the way back that day, I...I have been thinking about your smile..."

Li Fen's face once again showed the same blush that she had carried when she ran away that evening.

"After I saw you that day, until I walked in front of you just now, there was nothing in my mind, only your figure was shaking. I said to myself: If I have the chance to meet you again, I have to tell you how I feel, no matter what the consequences are."

Li Fen lowered his head and did not look into Zhao Jianhui's eyes for a long time.

Zhao Jianhui likes this kind of shyness. Among all the shyness, this shyness unique to girls is the most beautiful and can make men give up everything in their lives for it.

"I...I don't mean anything else. I just want to express my true thoughts. It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. It doesn't matter whether you can accept it or not. As long as you give me such a chance to express my feelings, I will be satisfied."

Li Fen raised her head, seemed to have thought for a long time, and said to Zhao Jianhui: "I never thought I would get to know you in this way. I... I wanted to go to the south to work, and my family forced me to come. What if we... We have really established a relationship, do you support me going out? "

"Well, no matter what you want to do, I will support you. Wait for me, I will graduate from college in one year, and we will get married after I graduate and join the army. The salary in the army is quite high now. I can support you later," Zhao Jianhui said confidently.

Li Fen's eyes flashed with happiness and she nodded gently.

There must be a beautiful day in a person's life. Zhao Jianhui felt that the day he and Li Fen were definitely the best time in his life.

In the next few days, Li Fen spent most of her time with Zhao Jianhui in front of the flowers and under the moon. The relationship between the two people quickly heated up, and they enjoyed the passionate embrace after every meeting. On the last day of Zhao Jianhui's return to school, the two people dedicated their first kiss to each other.

The longing of one person is painful, but the longing of two people is sweet.

After returning to the military academy, Zhao Jianhui and Li Fen relied on Hongyan's letters to tell each other how much they missed each other. Sometimes looking at Li Fen's photos, Zhao Jianhui wakes up laughing in his sleep many times.

Just when Zhao Jianhui, with the longing for beauty, counted on his fingers that he would be assigned to the army in less than two months before graduation, a military order came out like a mountain, and he didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to Li Fen in person. He was sent to the China-Myanmar border to perform a secret mission.

There, he met a group of passionate men, and at the same time won himself the reputation of Zhao Laohu. When he graduated, he was a lieutenant. After returning to China, he already had the rank of major on his shoulders. That year, Zhao Jianhui was just twenty-two years old. Among the classmates who graduated in the same class, he had the highest military rank.

In his pocket, Li Fen's photo has become rough. When performing special tasks and facing difficult moments of life and death, this photo actually became his belief and courage to survive.

For two years, because of carrying out this special mission, Zhao Jianhui strictly abided by military discipline and did not make a single phone call or write a letter to Li Fen. Finally, he was about to see the relatives he missed day and night. Zhao Jianhui packed up his backpack excitedly. His heart couldn't wait to fly back to Li Fen right now.

However, the god of fate once again played a little joke on him. Just when he bought the ticket and was about to get on the train, he received another military order to maintain peace in the Congo.

It was there that he met the beautiful female military doctor Long Lingyun. But what he didn't expect was how could Long Lingyun fall in love with him? He also transferred himself to the Western Sichuan Military Region, prepared a new house and got married.

Facing Long Lingyun's questioning, Zhao Jianhui didn't know where he was wrong. Just when he didn't know how to answer Long Lingyun's question, a wealthy lady in her fifties had already walked in with a stern face.

"Zhao Jianhui, what do you think of our Xiaoyun? Is my daughter someone you can bully casually?" She is Long Lingyun's mother, the noble general's wife.

"I...how could I bully her? Auntie, your daughter is my comrade-in-arms. If someone bullies her, I will give everything and even my life to protect her safety. I don't deny that I have a good impression of her, but, That's not love, I have a fiancée at home..."

"That's enough, I don't want to hear these words from you. I just want to know if you are willing to marry Yun'er?"

"Aunt, if I abandon my fiancée in my hometown and marry your daughter, what kind of person would I be? Would you want such a son-in-law?" Zhao Jianhui looked at the general's wife, shook his head very firmly, turned to Long Lingyun and said: "Please forgive me, I think everything that happened between us is a misunderstanding."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room with firm steps. Behind him, the general's wife snorted coldly: "Don't know what's good for you. Do you believe that my words can change your fate?"

Zhao Jianhui had no choice but to believe it, because it was her words that immediately changed Zhao Jianhui's fate.

He retired from a lieutenant colonel deputy regimental cadre and returned to his hometown to work as the security chief of the county winery, but he still couldn't get a salary. Until later, he was able to become a glorious security guard, all of which could be said to be all thanks to her words.

"Hey, are you done? I've been in the bathroom for so long and there's been no movement. I'm warning you, don't think about jumping out of the window to escape, this is the 25th floor." Zhao Jianhui was immersed in the brilliant memories like fireworks, and he didn't even know when he finished peeing.

Hearing Long Lingyun calling out at the door of the bathroom, he hurriedly agreed. I would jump off the building to escape? I'm not dizzy, why would I jump off the building?

When he slowly walked back to the room, he finally calmed down from the memories of the past.

Zhao Jianhui looked at Long Lingyun who was following closely behind him and smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, Miss Long, this is a ward, I don't have anything to treat you. I'm going to sleep, please go back?"

"Before you say this, please think clearly about who I am. You haven't seen me for more than a year, have you forgotten what I do?" Long Lingyun smiled and sat down next to Zhao Jianhui on the bed: "This ward is too simple, let's change to a better one tomorrow."

"Change to a better one? Miss Long, this ward was arranged by the police. If they didn't pay, I don't know if I can afford the hospitalization fee. Change to a better ward? I'm a poor boy, I don't have that blessing." When Zhao Jianhui thought that he had fallen into such a "miserable" situation because of the girl in front of him, his words were filled with resentment.

"Are you blaming me?" Long Lingyun turned around, staring at Zhao Jianhui with her beautiful big eyes, tears already hidden in her eye circles: "You only know how to blame me, do you know how I have been spending the past year? When I heard the news that my mother asked you to retire, I had a big fight with her. I wanted to find you in S Province at that time, but the hospital arranged for me to go abroad for exchange and study. I knew that it was my mother's trick, but the military order has been issued. You were also a soldier, and you should know the truth that military orders are like mountains..." As she spoke, Long Lingyun cried out.

"I..." Zhao Jianhui hated to see women cry the most. Seeing Long Lingyun crying while talking, he couldn't help but lower his head and couldn't speak. However, when he heard that Long Lingyun didn't chase him because he was going abroad for exchange, he felt a sense of relief inexplicably.

This feeling surprised even Zhao Jianhui himself. Could it be that in his heart, he had been expecting Long Lingyun to come to me? Could it be that the resentment just now was inexplicably caused by Long Lingyun not coming to see him for more than a year? No, it must not be like this!!

"What do you mean by you? Your fiancée has broken up with you. You have no excuse now, right? If you drive me away again, it must be because you never liked me at all."

"I..."

"Do you remember what you said that day? If you can give up everything for a girl and even your life to protect her safety, what kind of feeling is this if it is not love? You love me, I have known for a long time, you love me, right?" Long Lingyun stretched out his arms and hugged Zhao Jianhui tightly while speaking: "For more than a year, I have been thinking about you and missing you all the time... Hold me tight, Jianhui, I can't lose you again..."

I... Do I really love Long Lingyun? Zhao Jianhui let Long Lingyun lie on his chest and sob constantly, his hands raised in the air, not knowing whether he should push her away or hug that exquisite body.

What does it feel like to love someone?

Is it because he can give everything for her, or is it because he feels uncomfortable when he doesn't see her for a day? However, he puts these two feelings on two women respectively. What is going on?

"Zhao Jianhui, you are amazing. How did you pick up a little girl after not seeing her for a while?" Just when Zhao Jianhui didn't know whether he should push Long Lingyun away or hug her, Ye Qiuyu's voice suddenly came from the door.
