37(1/2)
The fireworks sticks burned the last wisp.
Darkness and silence were restored to the surroundings, but the ambiguous atmosphere that aroused was still lingering between the two.
Cheng Huaishu gently approached her ear, and his tall figure enveloped her, and said sincerely: "Ningning, you can think about it first, but you have to give me a deadline."
Tang Ning could feel the heat in her ears, making her heart soft and unbearably soft.
She stubbornly had her neck, her eyes were extremely clear: "Is it a deadline to consider?"
“The deadline for giving me the answer.”
After Cheng Huaishu added, he put away the lighter leisurely, and the smile in his eyes was relaxed and calm.
"Let's wait until you finish your mission and return to Jiangcheng."
The moonlight is light, like a layer of tulle sprinkled, silently covering each other.
Tang Ning stood on tiptoe and went to see his two-point and one-star ejection. His inner pride and pride arose naturally.
At the same time, she couldn't help but remember what Xia Tao said. It also took courage to stand behind such a person.
She sincerely hoped and prayed: "Cheng Huaishu, I'll wait for you to come back safely."
He also looked into her eyes, his voice was hoarse: "I promise to fulfill my mission."
Considering the girl's leg injury, Cheng Huaishu didn't take her too far.
After setting off the fireworks, the two returned to the campsite.
Halfway through, Tang Ning felt that Cheng Huaishu could add a wish, and he didn't say more, as if he was losing money.
"And... I also want to attach a wish, hoping to take a hot shower."
Her eyes were clear and shining with stars.
Cheng Huaishu remembered something in his heart, and his steps were slightly paused.
However, Tang Ning thought that this wish might not be realized until it boarded the plane back to Jiangcheng.
After all, in the disaster area, there is a shortage of supplies, so it is already good to have to simply scrub your body every day.
When Tang Ning returned to the tent, he was silent all over.
In the huge tent, the boy was still leaning against the head of the bed sickly, flipping through his medical records.
The people outside gathered together lively to celebrate New Year's Eve. Tang Ning couldn't bear it and said politely: "There are dumplings outside, do you want to eat them?"
"No, I ate the bread here tonight."
He put down the pages of paper in his hand and stared at her in a dark blink.
Since that's the case, she didn't say much.
When tidying up the bed, Tang Ning asked cautiously: "By the way, what's your name?"
The two of them have been together under the same tent for so long, and they don’t seem to have spoken well.
The boy straightened his back and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't have a name, everyone around me calls me Bean."
Tang Ning said in a jokey tone: "Beyn?
It sounds a bit like a code name.”
However, the boy's face was not very good after she finished saying this. She clutched the sheet tightly with her fingers, as if she was patient.
She was shocked and waved her hand quickly, saying unconcernedly: "I'm joking."
Bean's age should be a high school student among the peers she has come into contact with.
But for some reason, Tang Ning looked at the pale and weak boy in front of him and inexplicably felt something was wrong.
Although he tried his best to pretend to be a harmless image of humans and animals, sometimes the eyes he looked at her were full of hostility and... murderous intent.
"How old are you?"
Tang Ning tried to talk to him calmly, learn more about it before making a judgment.
Bean relaxed, turned his head and said, "Actually, I don't know how old I am, but someone told me that I am sixteen."
It sounds a bit like an orphan statement.
She breathed a sigh of relief, stopped asking anything, and raised a soothing smile at Bean: "Then you should recover from your injuries. If you need anything, you can tell me."
"Sister, you are such a good person."
I don't know how true or false Bean's words are.
Tang Ning thought, maybe it was her illusion.
Otherwise, a sixteen-year-old boy would be involved in the secret mission that Cheng Huaisu was going to perform, which would sound quite terrifying.
Picking up the toiletries, she went to the pool and took clean water to wash her face.
The little girl had not applied makeup, her cheeks were white, and she had just dried the water stains on her hands, and she saw Cheng Huaishu walking towards her.
The man's hair is short, black and wet, just like he had just taken a shower, and he also had the faint smell of fireworks sticks on his body.
Cheng Huaishu took off his military jacket, and there was a straight military lining inside, and two buttons loose at the top, which looked a bit casual and unruly.
He gestured, "Let's go."
Tang Ning was confused and thought that Cheng Huaishu was going to take him to play with the fireworks stick again. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Uncle, where are we going?"
Cheng Huaishu curled his lips lightly and asked slowly, "Didn't you say you haven't taken a hot bath for a long time?"
"Well, that's true."
She didn't turn her mind and bit her lower lip and asked, "Ah?
Do you want to take me to a hot shower?”
But this place is in the wilderness, and it cannot provide such conditions.
Cheng Huaishu didn't explain much, but asked Tang Ning to follow him first and then talk about it.
Cheng Huaishu stopped on the side of the tent where the army was stationed, lifted up the curtain of the tent and went in.
There was a round and short wooden barrel in the middle, and a lot of hot water had been poured inside, so white steam kept simmering, scattering in front of you, just like in the bathroom.
Tang Ning was indeed moved.
The dust on your body these days is very heavy. When you go to bed at night, you can clearly feel the stickiness on your body.
But after the conditions of surviving the disaster, no one will be so slutty. They can only think that it should be fine when the people in the disaster area start to transfer.
It was obviously just her casual wish, but Cheng Huaishu really found a way to do it.
Tang Ning looked around and said timidly: "But isn't this your tent?"
Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
"Don't worry, they all went to have dinner. I'll check it outside the door and you can wash it first."
Cheng Huaishu arranged everything properly and did not give her the right to refuse.
"By the way, this wooden barrel..."
As soon as he asked, Tang Ning had an answer in his heart.
The barrel was nothing unexpected, and it was also an item collected from the current situation in the disaster area. It must have been washed and used.
She also felt like a warm current was injected into her heart, and she smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Cheng Huaishu walked out in unison with his words and deeds, and he was willing to help her stay outside the tent.
The balance in my heart has long since fallen.
Barring her sanity, she looked at the back and curled her lips silently.
The tent was very quiet, and Tang Ning was afraid of delaying the rest time of the soldiers coming back, so he did not dare to delay any further.
After taking off her tight sweater after a few seconds, she tried the water temperature with her hands, and after confirming that it was not hot or cold, she sat in.
The water temperature is just right, and the gentle current wraps the curled body.
Tang Ning sighed comfortably.
Being able to take a hot bath is the greatest enjoyment under such conditions.
After holding hot water, she poured it on her body with the towel she had sent. After a while, her whole body felt warm.
This time, Tang Ning really took the fastest bath in his life.
Standing up from the wooden barrel and drying her body with a towel, she quickly put on her sweater and coat.
The sound insulation conditions of the tent are not very good.
Outside, Cheng Huaisu heard the sound of water flowing inside, and the flames in his heart were about to burn.
He bit a cigarette and ignites the fire, not daring to continue thinking.
Four years ago, Cheng Huaishu accidentally touched the girl's delicate skin, which felt a bit like almond tofu, and it was shattered as soon as it touched.
Before the reunion, he always regarded her as a child in his memory, cunning, spoiled, but kind and brave, like a sunflower with vigorous vitality.
