The Prime Minister's Lady's Cigarette

After the news came out, it was difficult to control public opinion on the Internet.The Prime Minister's wife came forward to accept interviews with major media.He is still sick.It took me a long time to watch that video, and I had already lost him by then.

He was wearing a formal military uniform, and the black military uniform made his figure straight and elegant.His eyes were black and blue, his lips were pale, and his lips were pursed into a cold arc, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, cold and aloof.During the three-hour press conference, his answers were short and official, without any personal touch.

Later, a funeral was held, the flag was flown at half-staff, and the entire Federation observed a moment of silence.Work handover, follow-up processing, and comfort.These were all unknown to me at the time, his exhaustion and pain.The reason why I hate Bancroft Cummings is not because he coveted my wild roses, but when the Prime Minister's wife was in the most painful time, I didn't know anything about it. In that place where the news was maliciously blocked, I have no idea of ​​his pain.At that time, the young man in love, the lowly poor, was first loved by the noble wild rose.He is immersed in love and restlessness, but he doesn't know that his wild rose is suffering from wind and rain.

How childish and stupid.

A month later, that's when I met the Prime Minister's wife.It was in the middle of a man-made lake.

That evening Mr Bancroft Cummings informed me, after dinner, of a place to meet the Prime Minister's wife in the evening.It was an extremely remote man-made lake that had been abandoned and was bought by the Prime Minister's Office.

There is a channel in the lake, which is like a maze.The housekeeper took me to the entrance of the passage and left first.I had to go in, the passage was beautiful, as dim and mysterious as a starry sky.I've been walking around for a while, but I didn't feel anxious. At the last corner, I saw the man sitting in front of a beach.He was wearing very thin, milky white silk clothes. In front of him was the vast starry sky, flowing slowly on the ground, and the whole world was hazy and unbelievable.

He turned around and saw me, seeming a little surprised, but soon he stretched out his hands to me. They were a pair of beautiful hands, even though the owner was addicted to smoking, they were not stained with light yellow smoke.I held his hand tightly and sat down beside him.

"I thought you couldn't find it here. It took me an hour the first time I came. You only took half an hour."

"Because I don't want you to wait for a long time." I blurted out, but I felt that it was too presumptuous. In fact, what I wanted to say was that I was afraid that he would wait too long, so I didn't want to wait anymore.

"He walked for more than three hours, kept walking to the left paranoidly, and made me wait here for more than two hours." This is the first time that he and I have talked about the Prime Minister, and I want to avoid it. But he found himself looking into his eyes in embarrassment, without flinching at all.

"When he was young, he was impulsive and irritable. When he was older, he paid too much attention to the decency of a gentleman." He paused and continued.

I know I won't say a word tonight.

"Adenauer and I were classmates in high school, we went to St. Louis College together. He always failed a theory exam, which I didn't take, and it conflicted with my course schedule. It wasn't until a school year later. , I just realized that I am not the same as him in all subjects."

"He is the youngest colonel in the history of the Federation. Individual combat ability has always been the first in the military academy. He has participated in many battles and commanded two large-scale battles against the Empire." At that time, the strength of the Empire and the Federation were on par. The empire was truly destroyed under the presidency of President Franklin two years later, and a new era ushered in the Federal Republic.

"The Prime Minister is a respectable leader. I am ashamed of my relationship with the Prime Minister's wife.

"No, he's not." His eyes looked at me, and my shocked expression was reflected in his beautiful pupils.

"Adenauer has died in the line of duty, and all his glory and shame will cease to exist with his death." He said with a deadpan expression and determined eyes.

At that time, I felt that the Prime Minister's wife still had many things to suppress, but he couldn't tell.

"You didn't do anything wrong, don't care about those weak emotions."

"I haven't been faithful to my marriage, that's true. But I've always obeyed my heart. He and I have been separated since a year ago because of political differences and his willful support of the political leader of the rival party for the next election. President, many people are dissatisfied with him. I was too extreme, and I didn't realize that his mental state was very unstable at that time." The Prime Minister's wife sighed wearily.

He seemed to feel that it was useless to talk to an immature and ignorant young man, or his collapsed emotions had been controlled, and we fell into a long silence.

"Do you know Kalida's Song Zhi?" I lay casually on the beach, watching the waves of the sea of ​​stars coming from a distance.

"Kalida? I haven't heard of it."

"It was an abandoned land in the northern outskirts of the slum area, where a rime branch grew. I had been there before, and that was the farthest I could go. There was no poverty, no pain, no people."

"I remember that there is a biological research institute set up by the government in the northern suburbs. The land has been expropriated."

"Kalida's rime branches are the most beautiful in winter. When the cold wind passes by the polar region, the surface of the rime branches will be covered with frost flowers, which will not melt in the next spring. At that time, even if my feet get frostbite, I will go to the northern suburbs to see them. .”

"it's a pity."

"Maybe I have Khalida's last stalk." I looked sideways at him.

He smiled for the first time tonight.

It was a drop-shaped pendant with a rime branch the size of a fingernail inside, covered with a frost flower.

That was Khalida's last rime branch.

The last words the Prime Minister's wife said to others before she died.

For countless days and nights, I fell into deep fear.During those countless dark nights without starry sky, and days without the glare of the rising sun, I was thinking: If I hadn’t sent that rime branch, maybe even if he had left me, even if he was still far away, at least he was still alive.

But I changed my mind and denied that it was me, a person born in a slum with nothing, the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life, and the only beautiful thing I have.

I want to give it to him, that's all.
