Lin Ran returned to Ning University and saw that the entire campus was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere, and naturally his mood was not very high.
Some things must find the truth, otherwise, wouldn’t those young lives have been sacrificed in vain?
"Brother-in-law..."
When He Xiaoyi saw Lin Ran, she threw herself into his arms, and her tears instantly wet the front of his chest.
Because her strength was too bad, the girl did not go to the border. However, He Xiaoyi did not expect that instead of waiting for news of victory, this was the result.
"Xiaoyi, you have to get used to this." Lin Ran patted the latter's shoulder gently, "This is the world of a Yuanli warrior."
This seems like a very pale comfort, but it is the most real and cruel truth.
As long as you step into this door, life and death will seem to become a very common thing. You have to adapt to killing and bloodshed, and adapt to the jungle law of eliminating the weak and leaving the strong!
Li Qiushui has not rested. She is arranging the follow-up matters personally. Although students are likely to die on the battlefield when they step into Yuanli Academy, many parents are mentally prepared for this, but when death really comes.
When it comes to their own children, their emotions still collapse. ??
Lin Ran took in all this, and he knew that he had to find out the truth, and he could not let this sad atmosphere be mixed with heavy doubts.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will become stronger." He Xiaoyi wiped away her tears and said.
After saying that, she ran away quickly, even her youthful back showed strong determination.
Experience is always the best catalyst for growth.
The flowers in the greenhouse will eventually bloom proudly in the wind and rain.
Li Qiushui came over at this time. She looked at Lin Ran and said with some worry: "I feel like you are a little tired. Are you too tired?"
I am a little tired, but the reason why I am tired is hard to tell.
Of course, Lin Ran himself didn't know exactly why this happened.
"A little bit, but this kind of tiredness is far less than one percent of yours." Lin Ran looked at the tender and tired woman in front of him, and couldn't bear it. He stretched out his hand and hugged her.
Even though there were students watching around him, Lin Ran didn't care about their looks.
Li Qiushui also hugged Lin Ran with his backhand and rested his chin on the latter's shoulder.
At this moment, being held in this warm embrace, even if it was just for a moment, her fatigue was relieved a little.
However, at this moment, several cars suddenly drove in from the school gate.
Li Qiushui raised his eyes and said, "It's the Warrior Management Office."
"Martial Artist Management Office?" Lin Ran didn't expect that Tian Xichen would follow him as soon as he left.
What is this beautiful female lieutenant colonel planning?
He was holding Li Qiushui in his arms, and Tian Xichen, who had just had a fierce battle with him, came over again, which made Lin Ran feel a little inexplicable... guilty.
It's a good thing to have such a guilty conscience, at least it shows that this man is not bad enough.
Tian Xichen was wearing a military uniform, and his valiant appearance reappeared, just like the one he was tortured by Lin Ran yesterday. The blushing girl who had the fight was completely different.
This was not the first time Li Qiushui saw Tian Xichen, but she vaguely felt that Director Tian was a little different this time from before, and there was a slight change in his complexion.
It seems... more mature.
The specific differences are actually difficult to detect, but this is the overall feeling that Tian Xichen brings to Li Qiushui.
Even though Li Qiushui racked his brains, he couldn't think of what happened in the top-floor office of the Warrior Management Office yesterday.
Before, while still in the car, Tian Xichen saw Lin Ran and Li Qiushui hugging each other. At that moment, her expression seemed to have not changed much, but there was a flash in her eyes that was not easy to detect.
of complexity.
Tian Xichen knew that he took advantage of Lin Ran and used the so-called nonsense reason of "everything is for work".
We are all grown men and women. After that night, nothing should have happened between the two parties. However, seeing the hug between Lin Ran and Li Qiushui, Tian Xichen felt a sourness that he had never felt in adolescence.
.
When he saw Lin Ran again, it was really difficult for Tian Xichen to maintain the same state of mind as before.
Especially when he thought about how the other party lay motionless for more than an hour this morning for fear of disturbing him, Lieutenant Colonel Xi Chen still felt slightly moved in his heart.
Although Tian Xichen's appearance has always been quite good, she spent her past time in military schools and military camps, and this kind of environment prohibited love. She has not enjoyed such care and consideration from men.
In Lin Ran's opinion, it was just a trivial move, but it made Tian Xichen think about it from time to time.
For her, Lin Ran's thoughtfulness in such small details was even more unforgettable than the stormy waves and clouds she experienced yesterday.
"Principal Li." Tian Xichen walked over, without much expression on his pretty face, and said lightly, "I'm very sorry about what happened this time."
Li Qiushui nodded, and then said: "Director Tian, I hope that the Warrior Management Office can work with us to find out the truth of the matter."
Tian Xichen clearly saw the haggard look on the face of the goddess vice-principal. A hint of unbearability flashed in her eyes, and her expression softened: "Don't worry, we will definitely give an explanation. The military department has already
After layers of control, the murderer will definitely not escape the border of Daxia."
"Thank you." Li Qiushui said and bowed deeply.
"Principal Li, you don't have to be polite. You, Teacher Lin and I are all our own people." Tian Xichen said, her pretty face blushing slightly.
She and Li Qiushui may not be the same person, but she and Lin Ran definitely know each other well.
"No, my gratitude is not for me personally." Li Qiushui stared into Tian Xichen's clear eyes: "On behalf of those students and parents, thank you."
Tian Xichen nodded, then glanced at Lin Ran with some deep meaning, and then turned to Li Qiu Shui: "Principal Qiu Shui, I need Teacher Lin Ran
I'm leaving Ningzhou for a few days, so help him ask for a few days off."
Lin Ran's expression was obviously a little stunned.
"You want to ask for leave for me, why didn't I know?" Lin Ran said, "Where are you taking me?"
He feels a little strange.
Why, after a good sleep, are you going to make the decision for me?
However, Tian Xichen gave him an irresistible reason.
"You and I will go together..." Tian Xichen's eyes were so clear that it made people's hearts beat. After a deliberate pause, her red lips opened slightly and she said four words, "Ning Haijun District."
…………
Tian Xichen really did what he said.
He really wanted to take Lin Ran to the Ning Haijun District to ask for an explanation! ??
Sitting on the high-speed train heading to Ninghai, Lin Ran still felt a little unreal and said, "I thought that after what happened, this investigation would be over."
That thing? What is it?
Tian Xichen's pretty face turned red instantly, but her expression remained calm: "These are two different things."
"Then why did you do this yesterday?" Lin Ran didn't understand.
I don’t know if this kind of thing would be taken care of if reported to the supervisory team.
"I like you, okay?" Tian Xichen glanced at Lin Ran, then looked away with a blushing face, and said.
"I don't believe it." Lin Ran shook his head, "You have words written all over your eyes now...'Please, stop asking'."
Tian Xichen lowered his eyes, put his right hand unconsciously on his lower abdomen, and whispered: "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
From yesterday to today, the position covered by her felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
At this moment, the young female officer who blushed easily was a little nostalgic for what happened this morning.
When Lin Ran was sober and rational, he was actually... quite gentle.
…………
After the two chatted awkwardly for a few words, perhaps because Tian Xichen was too shy, he didn't speak again, and the two fell into a slightly awkward silence.
After all, after having sex, they are still not a couple, and it will definitely not be natural to get along again.
"Even with a high-speed train, it takes eight hours to go to Ninghai." Lin Ran finally found another topic and said, "You have a fast army, so why not use Falcon fighters?"
At this time, he and Tian Xichen had changed into casual clothes and were sitting side by side in the corner of the ordinary carriage. They looked like an ordinary pair of young lovers.
"The movement of using Falcon fighter jets is too big. I'm not sure whether the Liaojiang Warrior Management Office is actually monolithic." Tian Xichen said.
This sentence fully reflects her thoughtfulness.
"Okay, I understand." Lin Ran asked again: "What is your plan?"
Before leaving, Tian Xichen specifically did not let Lin Ran bring his flame-cutting knife.
After all, the place we were going to was the Ning Haijun District. Even if we could get in, we wouldn't be able to carry weapons.
"Let's go directly to Zhao Ruifeng." Tian There was firmness in Xichen's voice, "In the name of the Army Headquarters."
Lin Ran heard this and shook his head gently: "We may not be able to see Zhao Ruifeng unless Shangguan Xingyue comes in person."
"The Marshal is not in Daxia." Tian Xichen said, "He left today."
"Why did she leave again?" Lin Ran said, "Shouldn't she always be in charge of the military?"
"I don't know about this," Tian Xichen said, "but before the marshal left, he had contacted Marshal Zhao Ruifeng and he would meet with us."
When he said this, Tian Xichen did not dare to look at Lin Ran.
Because, in the first half of the sentence, she lied.
Shangguan Xingyue indeed left Daxia, but she just set off from Ningzhou.
Before setting off, she asked her escort captain to retrieve an incubator from the top floor office of the Warrior Management Office.
…………
The eight-hour trip was very long, especially when there was a girl with whom he had an unclear relationship, which made Lin Ran feel on pins and needles.
Tian Xichen was wearing autumn clothes. In Lin Ran's opinion, it was no different than not wearing any clothes at all.
All the details about the other person seemed to have been engraved in his mind.
However, Tian Xichen didn't know that Lin Ran thought this way. Because she was too tired and her eyelids were heavy, she unknowingly leaned on Lin Ran's shoulder and fell asleep.
Tian Xichen's hair touched Lin Ran's face, and the latter's nose was already filled with the faint fragrance of the girl.
Finally, when he was almost at the station, Tian Xichen woke up slowly. Lin Ran's arms were a little numb.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I..."
Tian Xichen said, apologizing again and again.
She discovered that there was a wet mark on Lin Ran's shoulder.
That was the drool she shed while sleeping.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Tian Xichen was so embarrassed that she apologized again and again.
"It's nothing. After all, you have been exhausted these past two days." Lin Ran said with a smile.
Why are you tired?
However, these words made Tian Xichen's face turn redder, and he almost wanted to find a crack to get in.
After taking a few deep breaths, Tian Xichen whispered: "Anyway, thank you for not blaming me for what I did yesterday."
Lin Ran shook his head and denied: "I'm not that generous, but I can see that you have your own reasons."
After hearing these words, Tian Xichen's eyes trembled slightly.
Then, she looked at the wet marks she had just left on Lin Ran's shoulders, and her eyes filled with more determination, and she said softly: "No, I don't have any hard reasons. I said I did it because I like you."
This is how it is done.”
"I don't believe it." Lin Ran shook his head and smiled, "It's not that simple."
"I can prove it to you!" Tian Xichen's pretty face turned red. She bit her lip and said, "Lin Ran, I am sure of my feelings. For this, I can do anything you ask me to do!"
Lin Ran's eyes flashed, his gaze moved slightly downward from Tian Xichen's face, and he said: "Really?"
