"Did we win?" There was a backlight at the end of the line of sight; the figure of the questioner was blurred, but his voice was clear and steady.

He looked down at himself, his vision was shaking and slightly blurred; he was wearing the same military uniform as the man opposite him.

Almost blurted out: "Yes, we won." There was heavy joy in the uncontrollable voice, "Now we are doing well."

The person standing opposite seemed to be smiling. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could vaguely feel that his eyebrows and eyes were curled up with a smile: "I said I will win."

"Didn't I also say that I would definitely win?"

Taking a closer look, the military uniform on his body seems to be full of wounds left by the battle, and the original brand new cotton surface is also covered with dust of different thicknesses, not to mention the blood stains. "Can you tell me how you're doing? Oh, and everyone."

No need to guess who "everyone" is.

"...It's been a long time since we've been fighting. Anyone who dares to bully us will be beaten back. Our hometown has been taken back a long time ago, as well as every place you walked. Everyone can make money and live comfortably. Still Yes, I have gone to the place you have always wanted to go for you." After thinking for a while, he added, "I went by plane."

"Is that so." The man scratched the back of his head, as if he was sketching a picture in his mind that he had never seen before and had no chance to see. "How nice. I want to see it too."

"Let me read it for you." Qiang replied, "This time, I will write it for you."

He froze for a moment, then showed a relieved smile.The shape of that face was only clear for a moment, and then returned to the dazzling halo. "Thank you."

"you--"

"Are you awake?" Shao Zixun's voice sounded from a short distance away, which made Zhou Tong uncomfortable for a moment.Of course, when his brain replayed the experience of nearly ten hours like running a program, he probably came back to it.

The first sentence cut to the point: "I seem to have dreamed about the author just now." When Shao Zixun came to his senses and responded with something other than "Huh?" You." Then he took a deep breath and tried his best to ignore the mechanical reaction caused by the interactive behavior between the two of them last night, turned over and got out of bed, dressed and washed.

Shao Zixun was choked for a moment, turned his head stiffly, and said to Zhou Tong's back as he walked to the bathroom, "Then you just dreamed about me, right?"

Zhou Tong didn't answer until he came out of the bathroom after finishing his work, walked to the table, picked up his mobile phone and ordered the breakfast takeaway downstairs, "No, it's really the author. It's probably because I really had no choice but to set up your avatar, senior."

"Wait, it seems that we have done everything we should do, and you are so black on me..."

Zhou Tong turned his back and silently laughed twice in the blind spot of Shao Zixun's vision. "Hey, I'm serious." He went straight to the sofa, stretched his limbs reluctantly against the backrest, and watched Shao Zixun get up and pour himself a glass of water. "At a certain moment, I saw his face. Really with you It's a bit like it. But it may also be a psychological effect, or because of the familiarity, it puts you in."

Passing the cup full of hot water to the potential future cohabitant, Shao Zixun took two sips of water slowly, and asked, "Then you are the subject of his writing?"

Zhou Tong was busy drinking water, so he nodded in the affirmative answer.After a while, he added: "To be honest, it's a bit like being entrusted to a dream. But I don't know where it is." Afterwards, he roughly recounted what he saw in the dream.

"Oh—so that's the case." Shao Zixun, who had been sitting on the sofa together for a long time, almost leaning his whole body on Zhou Tong's body, concluded this.

"I don't think that seems like much of a reference. But—"

"But what?"

"I always feel infected by the emotions of those two people. Heavy joy."

Of course Shao Zixun understood what he meant.

One person may have already sketched the ideal world in his own mind, as a soldier, he fell asleep on the way to charge in a foreign land with the sound of guns, and no one knew his name except history; In the beautiful picture of countless people dedicating their lives, they may not know the news of the former, and are still waiting for the return date with almost paranoid eagerness.

Another possible fact is that in different places and at different times, because of a tacit understanding that is difficult to explain and needs no explanation, they made the consciousness to die and died for it.For oneself, for others, for the simple and grand ideal of our country and our people.

He didn't say anything.At this time, the doorbell rang, accompanied by the familiar yelling of the delivery boy.Shao Zixun stood up very naturally, embraced Zhou Tong's neck who was still reminiscing about his dreams, and kissed, and then responded to the greetings from the uninformed people outside the door.

Unexpectedly, it was not just the delivery guy standing outside the door, but also Lin Luo.

Shao Zixun felt that it would be fine if he prepared breakfast by himself.He subconsciously turned his head to look, and the torrential rain outside the window hadn't stopped.Secretly slandering the astonishing action of the alumni who braved the rain to inquire about the situation, or came to the door for other important matters, Shao Zixun paid for the breakfast with a complicated expression, and politely welcomed the distinguished guests into the house.

The moment he saw his cousin, Zhou Tong's expression and mood were complicated.Fortunately, Lin Luo is not the kind of person who likes to hit the spotlight at the wrong time.She raised her hand to stop Shao Zhou Zhou from standing up almost at the same time to explain, her expression was clearly "Please don't say I understand".

"I came to see you on a business matter, and I can't care about your detours anyway. I'm not Zhou Tong's sister and mother, so it's fine if you think it's okay." She walked around the coffee table and sat on the sofa at the other end familiarly. On the next day, he took out a small notebook from his bag, unfolded the middle page and pressed it on the table for the two of them to read.His voice was wheezing when he spoke, and the corners of his clothes were stained with water that had almost dried up. It could be seen that it was extremely inconvenient to come out of the rainstorm.

"——This is?" Shao Zixun extended his arms first, and took the notebook to read the contents carefully.An address, a string of phone numbers, and a person's name.

Lin Luo adjusted his collar and hem casually, and added: "Zhou Tong has already told me about the situation before. I am also a little concerned, so please ask him." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the note, meaning Those listed above are the available information providers. "Do you want to go to the archives or the museum? If you are registered as a soldier, you may be able to find it. Of course, he also has limited authority, let's see where he can help."

"Oh..." Shao Zixun understood what she meant, and copied the banknotes on the side to write down the information.Then he seized the opportunity to gossip without losing the opportunity, "Who is this?"

Lin Luo was about to drink water to smooth his breath, when he heard this, he turned to look at Shao Zixun with some doubts.It is not difficult to see from his expression that he is asking about the relationship between the two, so he rolled his eyes and said perfunctorily: "Friend."

Not only Shao Zixun, but also Zhou Tong raised his head. Although his expression was not obvious, it could be seen that he wanted to dig deeper.Lin Luo was also a little uncomfortable, and wanted to throw the topic back as soon as possible: "Leave my business alone, Zhou Tong, don't be spoiled by this guy. Seriously, I want to sell stocks if your progress was slow before. What's going on, the speed is too exaggerated."

Zhou Tong felt that it was inappropriate for him to take the conversation, so he looked at Shao Zixun; but Shao Zixun was still slandering, "We have bathed together in the bathhouse together for half a year, and I stayed overnight with him when he was doing his graduation thesis. From college social practice to now We have always been in love with each other at work, so it’s too late”, but ignored the long spatial scale of these interactions.The last thing he uttered was not a rebuttal sentence, but a slightly cramped laughter, a bit exaggerated, it was a smirk.

Lin Luo couldn't help but touch his forehead.She sat for a while, listening to Zhou Tong's retelling of the dream, and followed by watching a diary in the center of the incident, and naturally expressed some thoughts and inferences on these words.Of course, her speculation is also within the several situations that Shao Zhou and the others listed before.Afterwards, she saw that the time was almost up to when she was busy with business, so she got up and said goodbye: "I still have work over there, so I will leave first. Remember to find me if you have anything to do." Before leaving the house, she turned her head and said to Zhou Tong: " If you plan to mention your matter to your family, I will help. Don't worry."

"I'll see you off—"

Before Zhou Tong stood up and took two steps, Lin Luo stopped him with a smile: "I don't want to bother you. It's good to finally settle down. I think you can exchange experience on the long-term hidden double arrows since college." When they went out and went downstairs, the two in the room could vaguely hear her laughter.

— Double arrows?Fortunately, it didn't say it was single.

Zhou Tong, who was still standing, and Shao Zixun, who was sitting with his head up, looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while.
