Met You in the Most Beautiful Years [Seventy-five] I said earlier that old men are
"Well, I'll come find you after dinner."
Because of his words, Ye Hehuan clenched the phone in his ear with his fingers. He was inexplicably panicked and began to make random excuses: "But I want to go singing with Qin Shousheng tonight."
"...When will the singing be finished?"
"This, this is hard to say, I might not go back to the hotel all night."
"You have bad eyesight and you still stay up all night to play?"
Ye Hehuan's heart beat faster. For some reason, she actually felt timid. Before she could react, she had already spoken: "Actually, I haven't decided where to sing yet. It's just a suggestion. If it hurts my eyes, I won't."
went."
"..." There was silence on the other end, but he didn't hang up the phone.
Ye Hehuan vaguely heard the sound of gunshots on the other side of the phone. Thinking of what he said at the dinner table last night, she looked around and asked softly: "Are you at the shooting range?"
"No, it's at the army's training base."
"Is this the live-fire simulation training you mentioned last night?"
"……Um."
Ye Hehuan stood at the end of the corridor and saw the darkening sky outside. Seeing that the other party was silent, she suddenly ran out of words and bit her tongue. Another burst of gunfire came faintly. She took the opportunity to say: "
Are you busy? I won’t disturb you anymore——"
"Actually, it's nothing." The man suddenly said when she was about to hang up the phone.
For a moment, Ye Hehuan didn't know whether to hang up the phone or not.
When she was struggling, Yu Zhongxiao's deep and mellow voice sounded along with the whistle on the other end: "It's almost time, let's go have dinner."
"Oh, then...goodbye." He said it a little awkwardly.
"Bye."
Listening to the busy tone of "Dudu", Ye Hehuan thought to herself that this person didn't even ask her if she could go down to see him at night. Maybe she was really busy?
I sat down at the end, stretched out my feet and kicked the swivel chair in front of the desk. The chair rotated twice and then slowly stopped.
He kept saying ruthless words when he didn't want to talk to her, and now he was so arbitrary and **, doing whatever he wanted. Do you think she was his pet cat? She came and went when he called her... She just couldn't go down at night.
, let him wait there like a fool.

When Yu Zhongxiao saw a group of people coming towards him, he hung up the phone, took off his sunglasses, stood at attention, and gave a military salute: "Hello, chief!"
Yu Zhanming said "hmm" with a straight face, followed by his secretary and several senior officers from the Fengcheng Military Region.
Several military regions are about to conduct a relatively large-scale joint actual military exercise. Yu Zhongxiao came here to be responsible for supervising the entire process. He heard that there was a live-fire training here today and came over to take a look. However, he saw from a distance that his son was not guarding the training.
At the venue, he actually went to the corner to make a phone call, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
The brat didn't even take off his protective sunglasses.
The officers who knew the relationship between the two walked away with a tacit understanding, leaving the father and son standing there.
When the people walked away, Yu Zhanming's original serious face softened slightly, and he glanced at his son's trouser pocket from the corner of his eye: "It seems that you are quite comfortable staying here."
"How is dad's health lately?" Yu Zhongxiao ignored the sarcasm in his father's words and greeted him with concern.
Yu Zhanming snorted: "If you and your brother don't make me angry once, I can live ten more years!"
"I heard from mom that Shaoting has returned to China?"
"Yeah." He responded lightly, with a dissatisfied tone.
"Mom has booked a private room at Yufulou tonight. Dad will also go there for dinner, right?"
Yu Zhanming glanced sideways at his son: "What, are you in trouble?"
"I really have something to tell my family. I hope you and mom are here." The look on Yu Zhongxiao's face was quite formal, not like he was joking.
"Let's talk about it." Yu Zhanming put his hands behind his back, humming and walked past him straight to the training ground.
Yu Zhongxiao straightened his spine and saluted again.
After watching his father walk away, Yu Zhongxiao looked back. The training was coming to an end. He was not the main person in charge, so he simply left early, turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.
Yao Lie was humming a song and came downstairs when he saw him: "Second brother, is it over over there? How about dinner arrangements? How about we go to the cafeteria together?"
"I'll go back to the compound tonight."
Yu Zhongxiao took out the key to the dormitory. He just raised his feet but stopped suddenly. He turned around and asked Yao Lie: "What kind of birthday gifts do girls generally like?"
Yao Lie was stunned for a moment, guessing the age range covered by Yu Zhongxiao's words "girls".
"Then it depends on how old you are. If you are a teenager, if you are still in school, you can give stationery supplies. A schoolbag is the most practical. You can carry it for several years. It can also give you literature and reading materials. If you are in your early twenties, then give digital books.
Products, if you are after the age of twenty-five, you have to give me some jewelry, watches, etc."
As he said that, he looked at the man on the stairs in surprise: "Second brother, is it my sister-in-law's birthday?"
Yu Zhongxiao didn't answer, just said: "You go to eat." After saying that, he went straight upstairs to change clothes.
——
Dinner is a buffet at the hotel.
After answering the phone, Ye Hehuan was a little distracted, thinking about the 'nine o'clock appointment'. Qin Shousheng called her several times before she responded: "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing -" Qin Shousheng imitated her tone of voice and handed over two skewers of grilled squid: "Would you like to eat?"
Ye Hehuan saw the squid dipped in spicy sauce: "The doctor asked me to ban spicy sauce, you can eat it yourself."
"By the way, we will go directly to the train station after the follow-up examination tomorrow. Have you told your aunt?" Ye Zhimin suddenly remembered this matter.
The human nature and sophistication here cannot be ignored.
"It shouldn't matter if you don't say it, right?" Ye Hehuan couldn't help but think of that person when he mentioned Han Jingqiu, and then thought that he told her to wait for him at the hotel door at nine o'clock, so what was he going to say and do when he saw her? Was it to mention Han Jingqiu?
After being sent home, did you use work as an excuse to leave?
"How come it doesn't matter?"
Ye Zhimin peeled the crab for her: "You left without saying a word. Your aunt is definitely not happy. At any rate, you also stayed in someone else's house for a few days."
Ye Hehuanxin said that letting her live at home was just to use her to ease the relationship between husband and wife...
Seeing that she didn't want to make this call, Ye Zhimin didn't embarrass her and smiled: "Okay, I'll call tomorrow, okay?"
Sensing Qin Shousheng's gaze, Ye Hehuan raised his head, met his meaningful gaze, and felt inexplicably guilty: "What are you looking at me doing?"
"It's nothing." Qin Shousheng denied it quickly, without looking at her again, lowering his head and continuing to eat.
…
After dinner, Qin Shousheng really proposed to go to the KTV to sing, but Ye Hehuan said that his eyes were a little tired and wanted to go back to the room to rest.
"I can only go back to sleep!" Qin Shousheng sighed helplessly and went back to his room to play games.
Ye Zhimin supervised Ye Hehuan to take the medicine, take a bath and have sex early*.
The air conditioner was turned on in the room. Ye Hehuan was lying on the bed but not asleep. She glanced at her sister-in-law secretly. After making sure that she was asleep, she took the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock.
I closed my eyes and tried to let myself fall asleep, but I was still conscious for the past ten minutes.
There was always something on her mind.
After all, he is an elder. Isn't it too rude to let others go like this?
Besides, he treats me well, maybe something is really going on...
Annoyed by his soft-heartedness, Ye Hehuan pinched his thighs hard under the covers. He could refuse to kiss you, so why can't you imitate him once?
——
Ye Hehuan raised his voice very softly.
She took a T-shirt and jeans from the suitcase, carefully paying attention to Ye Zhimin on the bed while putting them on, and then took the room card and slipped out.
It was only 8:32 pm when we arrived at the hotel entrance.
When she went downstairs, she walked a little hastily, causing her to stop and take a breath.
Loose cotton white T-shirt, thin dark blue jeans, Adidas sneakers, the street light at the door shines on her clean and delicate face, like a shining jade, especially her pair of beautiful black cat eyes, attracting people passing by.
Both men and women couldn't help turning their heads to look at her.
The security guard at the door looked over, and Ye Hehuan grinned at him: "I'm waiting for someone."
Then she turned around and looked at herself reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window, with her long and messy hair. Just now, she didn't dare to go to the bathroom and turn on the light to comb her hair for fear of waking up Ye Zhimin, but luckily she brought a rubber band.
Ye Hehuan casually tied his hair into a ponytail. After a few minutes, he felt bad about it, so he let his hair down and twisted it into a bud.
"Is this okay?" She looked at herself on the glass and muttered, then pushed the broken hair behind her ears.
At this time, many guests had finished their meals and left, and cars stopped and drove away one after another at the door.
Whenever a large group of people came out, Ye Hehuan would consciously stand on the inconspicuous side and look at the chatting and laughing guests. She began to secretly worry about why she came down so early and wanted to sit in the waiting area of the lobby.
She was also afraid that he would arrive as soon as she sat down and would have to run out.
After standing like this for a while, she looked at the time on her phone again. It was already 8:57.
Yu Zhongxiao hasn't come yet.
Did she really have to wait until nine o'clock to show up? Ye Hehuan curled her lips, her legs were sore from standing for a long time. She simply squatted on the ground and kept staring at the car coming from the other side of the road. That person should be driving a car.
Off-road vehicles, when she thought about it, she paid special attention to those vehicles that tended to be bulky.
At nine eleven, Ye Hehuan had not seen Yu Zhongxiao's figure, nor even called him.
Seeing that she had been waiting for so long, the security guard next to her said, "Everyone is going home after dinner now, and there are likely to be traffic jams on the road. You can call and ask."
Ye Hehuan took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Yu Zhongxiao's number.
A long beep sound came from the receiver. She looked at the endless night in front of her, and suddenly felt that the sound seemed to be integrated into the darkness. No matter how long it sounded, she could not get a response.
Until a cold female voice sounded on the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered, please call again later——"
At nine twenty-eight, there were fewer and fewer vehicles in the hotel parking lot.
She took the phone away from her ears and said it was a lie to say that she was not disappointed. She had made several calls, but no one answered. She felt a little uneasy. Something should have happened on the road, right? She was still distracted by work again.
?Remembering that he was having dinner with his family tonight, maybe he was dragged into preaching by his elders.
Maybe it will come later?
Breathing out a long breath, Ye Hehuan couldn't bear it and jumped up and down boringly on the steps beside the hotel door.
"Why don't you go sit and wait in the lobby, and describe to me the person you're waiting for. If he comes, I'll tell him you're inside," the security guard said kindly.
Ye Hehuan smiled sweetly: "No need to trouble you, I'll just wait for him here."
…
Time passed minute by minute, and Yu Zhongxiao never appeared.
It’s almost ten o’clock——
Ye Hehuan's right shoulder was suddenly tapped. She turned her head and saw Qin Shousheng with a dark face. Her heartbeat stopped: "Why are you downstairs?"
"What else should I ask you? People who have tired eyes and want to go to bed early are standing here basking in the moon?!"
"I can't sleep. Come down and take a walk." Ye Hehuan said, stretching his arms and pretending to exercise: "I'll go up later."
The phone was suddenly taken away.
"Hey!" Ye Hehuan wanted to take it back, but he was not taller than him: "Give it back to me quickly."
Qin Shousheng quickly looked through the call records. Sure enough, they all had the same number. He knew who it belonged to without having to guess. He frowned: "Why are you getting involved with him again?"
"It's not what you think. He seems to have something to tell me."
"So you are asked to wait for him here like a stone pillar at night?" Qin Shousheng answered the words faster.
"..."
Ye Hehuan didn't know how to refute, but his worry showed on his face: "He asked me to wait for him here at nine o'clock, but he hasn't come yet, and no one has answered the phone. Do you think something will happen?
"
"You ask me who should I ask?" Qin Shousheng rolled his eyes towards the sky.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed Yu Zhongxiao's number according to Ye Hehuan's call history.
"There's still no one to answer the call, right?" Uneasiness and anxiety spread in her heart: "What if something really happens?"
Qin Shousheng threw her phone over: "Wait here."
Before Ye Hehuan could react, he had already ran out and stopped a taxi on the side of the road. By the time she caught up with him, the taxi had already driven away.
Ye Hehuan immediately stood on the roadside and dialed his phone.
When the call was connected, Qin Shousheng spoke first: "I'm going to go to the military compound first. Isn't he eating there with your aunt? You try calling him again, and let me know if you get in touch."
After finishing the call with Qin Shousheng, Ye Hehuan dialed Yu Zhongxiao's cell phone again. It rang several times and suddenly turned into a busy signal.
It looks like it was pressed manually.
I dialed again and what I heard was - "Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."
Keep dialing, and the result is still a text message call service.
At around 10:30 in the evening, she received a call from Qin Shousheng: "I just asked the sentry at the door and said that the whole family went out to eat and has not returned yet."
"..."
Ye Hehuan could not describe his mood at this moment.
What couldn't get out of her mind was the moment when the phone was pressed. Since he was next to the phone, why didn't he answer the phone? If he couldn't come, he should tell her that it was inconvenient to answer the phone. It would be OK to send a text message.
Are you really too busy to spare a few seconds?
Forty minutes later, Qin Shousheng got out of the taxi angrily.
"Stop waiting, go up and go to bed." He walked to the door of the hotel and pulled Ye Hehuan's arms. There was no emotion in his voice.
Ye Hehuan avoided his hand, feeling exhausted and just wanted to be alone: "You go up first, I-"
"Do you still believe that he will come?" Qin Shousheng's mood suddenly became excited and angry: "I told you damn long ago that the old man is a scumbag. You still don't believe it. Now you are happy to be played like a monkey, right? I'm so lucky
Xingfu is having a reunion dinner, you are waiting here like a fool!"
"Maybe she is showing off with her friends while drinking and smoking. Oh, you see, the little girl nowadays is so innocent. I just need to hook my finger and she comes like a pug. Maybe she even puts her mobile phone on the table.
, several people place a bet together on how many phone calls you will make. When they get tired of you, they will turn off their phones. A group of people laugh and praise each other's charm. Congratulations, you have successfully pleased a bunch of big men and gave them
Boring life adds to the fun. If you still shamelessly post it, you will probably be forced to change a new number and continue to deceive the little girl."
Qin Shousheng's words were harsh and harsh, and his loud voice attracted many people to look over.
"By the way, teasing you is much more fun than ordinary little girls. You are his wife's niece, a bastard, and a bitch."
Ye Hehuan's eyes were slightly red, and his voice sounded slightly tired: "Maybe something really happened."
"If something happens, your mother will do it!" Qin Shousheng mercilessly exposed her self-deception: "Maybe he is sleeping with his wife in his arms now, so don't embarrass me and be conspicuous here. Aren't you willing to not go back to the people's livelihood program?
