Chapter 1371 Epilogue (2) Nameless

The next day, he got up early and found a Shuangqing noodle shop with good reviews based on the Dianping list. In the early morning, the shop was crowded with people, and everyone was queuing up in a lively and noisy manner.

The sound of his voice was in the warm air, and the spicy and fragrant smell was steaming in the wind of the two rivers. He was holding an enamel basin and sitting on a pony. On the road in front of him, there were cars and hurried office workers.

The delivery boy driving the electric car very fast, the old man taking a leisurely walk, the young man who had just got off the plane after an overnight stay, and the students in school uniforms. The world is so busy yet leisurely. He looked down at a few pieces of green lettuce tips dotted with peppercorns

On the red oil, I smelled the tangy pepper smell and felt the long-lost smell of fireworks. It is a smell that belongs to the world, mixed and precipitated with the most superficial human desires. It is full of vitality and ready to move, just like flowers and plants with vigorous vitality.

It grows freely in the mountains and fields.

He thought that maybe he and his colleagues fought bloody battles to defend these ordinary stability.

All sacrifices are valuable.

The noodles were a bit spicy, so spicy that it made me cry. He went back to his room to rest for a while, and then took a shower. While drying his hair, he stood in front of the mirror, considered for a while, and finally decided to put on his uniform, but he didn't put those clothes on.

Wearing the golden medals, they only wore the Golden Dragon Medal, the collective medal that their team had won together.

After leaving the hotel, he sent a WeChat message to Huang Shilin's sister again, confirmed the address, and called a car to go there.

One hundred and three wishes may sound like a lot, but in fact most of them do not require him to fulfill them in person, and usually only require a phone call. For Huang Shilin, there are only more than ten wishes that require him to go in person.

For example, he attended a parent-teacher meeting on behalf of Brother Wei Mingxuan. His wife has been attending the parent-teacher meetings of Brother Wei's daughter since she was a child. Brother Wei has never been there once. When he went there on behalf of Brother Wei, some parents initially teased him when they saw him.

Did Wei Shanqi have bad grades? She specially found some cousin to hold a parent-teacher meeting. But after the class teacher introduced the situation, all the parents in the class cried. Wei Shanqi and her mother, who were holding her father's portrait outside the window, even cried.

Tears.

For example, he replaced Tian Rui to watch an LPL final. The 2025 Spring Split was postponed for about a month due to force majeure. It was only held at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in May. He spent thousands to buy it from scalpers.

He had the best ticket to watch a "League of Legends" game that he didn't understand very well. He sat in the middle of the crowd and listened to the cheers. At the last moment, when everyone around him jumped up, he knew it was over.

Amid the applause and shouts, his tears fell inexplicably. The people next to him were also infected by his wanton crying, and they cried excitedly. They hugged him and said, "Finally, IG has won the championship again! The people from Incheon are back!"

They're all back!" He couldn't understand what the other party said, but he cried even harder.

Not only these two times, every time he went there in person, it was a cruel practice for him, and it took several days to recover. In fact, not only going in person, but also calling others to tell others something was equally sad.

To the point of collapse, it was like calling Zhong Yongming’s wife and telling her that Captain Zhong hid 3,500 yuan of personal money in the toilet tank. The other person laughed at first, then cried until his heart broke, and he held up the hot mobile phone.

, couldn't hang up the phone, and didn't know how to comfort him. He tried, but any comfort was meaningless. The only thing he could do was to cry with him. This process was sometimes even more painful.

Today he was also prepared to cry a lot. He brought eye drops, throat lozenges and sleeping pills in his bag. These three medicines are now something he must always have.

Sure enough, when he appeared at the door of the hotel banquet hall, the bride in a red Chinese dress started wiping tears when she saw him. He imagined what it would be like if he were Huang Shilin. He didn't know. He raised his head, held his chest high, and stepped forward.

Walking in goose-step, he walked up to the bride like an idiot, saluted and said, "Sister, I'm back."

The effect was explosive. A middle-aged woman who also had a corsage with her name written on her chest hugged him and shouted in grief: "My son"

The bride also hugged him, "Brother!"

The wedding was postponed for more than half an hour because of him. He put on a corsage with the name "Huang Shilin" written on it and sat at the table with relatives. Sad tears flowed silently during the festive banquet. Huang Shilin's mother kept holding her hand.

His hand asked him about Huang Shilin, but what should he say? It wasn't that he had poor memory, but that day, it was the first and last time he saw Huang Shilin. The only thing he remembered was that Huang Shilin's eyes were very big, and he looked carefully.

His sister looked a bit like a handsome guy. So he made up some stories and recounted the things that happened to him. He told them in a low voice, but he felt nothing was sadder than this. He regretted that he didn't find other people to understand.

Meet Huang Shilin.

Huang Shilin's mother did not let go of her hold on his hand until the wedding was over. When he said unspeakably "I'm leaving," her mother stroked his hair with tears in her eyes and said to him: "You must notify us when you get married.

I, no matter how far away, I will go."

He didn't know what to say for a moment. His emotions stayed there for a while, he smiled and said "Okay", and then suddenly started crying. He didn't know what emotion he wanted to express. Maybe it was fatigue, maybe it was some kind of inertia, he

I thought I should be a person who doesn't care about anything, I should be very strong, but who knew I was so fragile.

After walking out of the hotel, the wind was scorching. He skillfully took out the eye drops from his bag, raised his head and dripped some drops. The midday sun was harsh and dazzling, but it made him feel warm. He squinted his eyes for a while and took another throat lozenge.

, stood on the side of the road and took out his mobile phone to ask for a taxi.

The software showed that it was still searching, and a pure white Avita parked in front of him. The window slid down, revealing a beautiful face wearing sunglasses.

Gong Haolin thought the other party was waiting for someone, so he turned around and wanted to move away, but heard the other party take off his sunglasses and shout: "Hey~ where are you going?"

He turned around and looked into the car, and what he saw was Zhang Yitong, the stewardess he met on the plane yesterday, "Ah! It's you."

"Where are you going?" Zhang Yitong asked.

"I'm going to the high-speed rail station."

Zhang Yitong opened the car door and said, "Come up here and I'll see you off."

Gong Haolin rolled his throat and said, "I'll take a taxi myself, it doesn't matter."

"Why are you so timid? You're scared to fly, and you're scared to sit in a girl's car!" Zhang Yitong said, "Come up quickly, you can't park here for too long, or you'll have to copy the cards."

Gong Haolin looked at his cell phone and was still queuing up to take orders. After hesitating for a few seconds, he canceled the wait and got into Zhang Yitong's car.

"Fasten your seat belt."

"Oh." Gong Haolin put on his seat belt in a panic. He didn't know why he was nervous.

The car was speeding along the river. The sun was blazing in the sky. Zhang Yitong turned up the air conditioner. In the silence, he could hear the hissing wind and smell the fresh and pleasant perfume. The car was very new, but the back seat

It's a bit messy, with a lot of random things thrown away. There are Totoro pillows tied to the seats, and there is a row of "Spirited Away" ornaments that shake their heads under the window glass.

Gong Haolin didn't dare to look at Zhang Yitong's side face, and said without any words: "It's a coincidence that I can meet you here."

"It's quite a coincidence that the groom is my cousin."

"That's a coincidence."

Gong Haolin held the bag and rubbed the strap with his fingers. His mind went blank. He didn't know what to say. He had never been good at chatting with girls.

"Where are you going by high-speed rail?"

"Go to Shangrao."

"Why don't you take a plane when you go to Shangrao?" Zhang Yitong said, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, "Oh~ you are afraid of flying~"

"How do you know I'm afraid of flying?"

Zhang Yitong smiled and said: "I saw it all yesterday! I didn't expect that fighting heroes are not afraid of death, but also afraid of flying."

Gong Haolin said somewhat depressedly: "Actually, I'm quite afraid of death."

"Then how did you become a fighting hero?"

Gong Haolin sighed and said: "There is no way, I was forced to pick it up."

"Yo! So humble."

"It's not modesty." Gong Haolin smiled bitterly and said, "You see, I don't look like an elite soldier with a peaceful country and a peaceful people, right? I am just a technician, driving ducks to the shelves to complete a task."

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe?" Zhang Yitong chuckled, looked at Gong Haolin sideways and said, "It looks quite comfortable, like the kind of person who is easier to surrender."

Gong Haolin laughed at himself and said: "Yes, there is a high probability that he will confess immediately if he is caught. He is the kind who cannot stand the test. Fortunately, he was not caught!"

Zhang Yitong laughed again and said casually: "You and my sister-in-law's brother are colleagues? What kind of mission did you complete?"

Gong Haolin shook his head, "I am a technician, and Huang Shilin is a combatant. Unlike me, he is a real hero." After a pause, he said lightly, "Huang Shilin and the others escorted me to complete the locking, which was captured with a laser irradiator.

Information about the Stargate Fleet."

"It doesn't sound very complicated."

Gong Haolin nodded, "My job is indeed quite easy. So I said, I picked up some medals and wore them. I am not a combat hero. They are."

The carriage was quiet for a while, and Zhang Yitong said, "What are you doing in Shangrao? Is it convenient to tell you?"

"Fulfill the wish of another colleague of mine and install a prosthetic limb for his father."

"No wonder you came to Shuangqing to attend my sister-in-law's wedding. Is it to fulfill her brother's wish?"

"Um."

"How many wishes do you have to fulfill?"

"One hundred and three."

"Ah! There are so many."

Gong Haolin said calmly: "The entire team that went to complete the mission consisted of one hundred and four people. Except for me, the technician, all of them died."

The carriage fell into strange silence again. It wasn't until they arrived at Shuangqing High-speed Railway Station that Zhang Yitong suddenly woke up and said, "We're here." When the car stopped, she whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked blindly.

"

"It doesn't matter." Gong Haolin said calmly, "It's not a bad thing. They deserve to be known to more people."

"Goodbye then."

Gong Haolin got out of the car, waved his hand, said "goodbye", and hurried towards the station.

Zhang Yitong stared at his back and opened his mouth slightly several times, as if he had something to say, but in the end he did not say anything and watched his back disappear into the bustling crowd.
