When I opened my eyes, the room was dark and gloomy.
The clock on the wall was ticking. She moved and looked at the time. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was day or night.
The curtains were drawn, there was no sunlight outside, and the surroundings were silent.
Bai Youming sat up and put on his slippers, opened the curtains, and saw the heavy snow outside.
It seems to be afternoon.
It's getting dark.
She shook her head laboriously and subconsciously touched the wounds on her body.
The feeling of weakness is still there, and the whole body is limp. The surging artillery fire seems to be echoing in the ears, and various weapons shine with different colors and roar unbridled in the desert under the night sky.
That earth-shattering sound seemed to have been imprinted deep in my heart, it was an explosion, blood, and flying sand.
Bai Youming stood by the window and looked out the window. The surroundings were quiet and warm, and there were flying snowflakes outside the window.
Yesterday and today.
What she was thinking in her heart and what she was seeing seemed to be two completely different worlds. Standing on the edge of the world, her whole body felt like it was being torn apart.
My spirit was not tense, but it was still not completely relaxed, and chaotic memories kept rolling around.
She remembered that she helped Li Tianlan collect the bodies of the war dead in the desert.
She remembered that she followed Suzhou's helicopter and flew to Suzhou.
She did not return to Tiannan in Suzhou, but returned to Youzhou.
go home...
Bai Youming was at a loss for a while before he realized that he was at home, in his own room.
No matter what the outcome of last night's war was, it is over.
She touched the wounds on her body.
Numerous wounds, large and small, all over her body have healed and scabbed. The Dongcheng family and the Bai family naturally have ways to remove scars. Her injuries are not too serious. There is no serious problem on the surface of her body. The internal injuries still need to be rested for a period of time. Mainly:
The mental exhaustion and the weakness caused by severe exhaustion made her weak.
There are also the sequelae caused by that kind of unethical madness.
Insane and crazy...
She thought of Shura Dao.
I thought of my team leader.
Her knife stabbed into the other person's chest.
They said goodbye.
said goodbye...
Bai Youming was silent for a long time.
It was difficult for her to describe her psychological feelings.
It's a bit low-pitched, but not heartbreaking or muddled. The knife seems to have been integrated into every scene of the desert war.
Maybe a little special, but it does fit together.
Bai Youming scratched his hair.
I liked him.
once...
She shook her head again, drank the recovery potion on the bedside, changed out of her pajamas, put on loose clothes and walked out of her room.
A burst of hearty laughter came from downstairs, which sounded familiar.
Bai Youming stood at the railing of the corridor and glanced down, slightly startled.
On the sofa in the living room downstairs, a man in his thirties watched
The calm and composed man who went up sat there, chatting happily with his grandfather Bai Zhanfang.
Although he is a junior, he does not have the slightest fear when facing the most senior member of Parliament in Central Continent. Every move he makes is free and casual and majestic.
Bai Zhanfang sat opposite him with a smile on his face, his face glowing red, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Bai Youming blinked and barely woke up from her hazy state. She adjusted her mood and laughed softly: "Brother-in-law, long time no see. What a rare visitor. I thought the Speaker had forgotten where the Bai family was.
Woolen cloth."
Bai Zhanfang raised his head and glanced at his granddaughter, smiling without saying a word.
Opposite him, Zou Yuanshan, who is now the Speaker of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, raised his head and glared at Bai Youming, laughing and scolding: "You also called me brother-in-law? You open your mouth and say it is brother-in-law. I think you have forgotten me as your brother.
"
"I'm one year older than Qiuchi. Qiuchi has always called me sister. It's right to call you brother-in-law."
Bai Youming raised the corner of his mouth and walked downstairs slightly faster.
Zou Yuanshan shook his head in confusion.
The three pillars of the wealthy group belong to this generation of wealthy families. He, Bai Youming, and Dongcheng Qiuchi are all close in age. It can be said that they have grown up since childhood. He is four years older than Dongcheng Qiuchi, and Bai Youming is one year older than Dongcheng Qiuchi.
In this way, Bai Youming, who has always called Zou Yuanshan brother since childhood, always regarded herself as sister after they got married. When they got married, if Zou Yuanshan didn't have the guts to call her sister, he almost couldn't get into the bridal chamber. It was simply a matter of moral integrity.
The dark history has been lost all over the place. Every time he meets Bai Youming, he calls him "brother-in-law" and his scalp goes numb.
Bai Youming went downstairs and poured himself a glass of water. He sat casually on the sofa and looked at Zou Yuanshan and said, "Come for a meeting?"
"Study at the Institute of Political Science, three months."
Zou Yuanshan smiled.
His appointment as the speaker of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be said to be an exceptional act, and letting Dongcheng Qiuchi serve as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a historical precedent. In a province, the speaker and the governor are husband and wife. This is not only unprecedented, it can even be said to be unprecedented.
Dongcheng Qiuchi received the admission notice from the Institute of Political Science shortly after taking office. Now he has just returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As the situation gradually improves, especially the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is stable, Zou Yuanshan will naturally have to go through this process.
"Politics Academy, eh, refresher course? Is the Speaker going to become a member of Parliament?"
Bai Youming smiled.
Zou Yuanshan picked up a pillow and threw it at it.
Bai Youming hugged the pillow and held it in his arms.
"You really think it's more beautiful than me."
Zou Yuanshan shook his head: "Training class."
Studying in political academies is generally divided into refresher courses and training courses. Entering refresher courses basically means officials who are to be promoted or have been promoted, while the latter means recharging. Of course, in some special periods, there will be other good or bad ones.
Good interpretation, Zou Yuanshan's qualifications are indeed a bit shallow when compared horizontally at the governor-general level, especially in the position of speaker. The training courses at the governor-general level are barely gold-plated.
Bai Youming said oh, hugged the pillow and said nothing.
She forced herself to act normal, but she was extremely exhausted mentally and physically. Sitting on the sofa, her eyes were a little dull, and she realized
I still haven't slept enough.
"Didn't you get a good rest?"
Bai Zhanfang glanced at her and asked with a smile.
"The main thing is that I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
Bai Youming shook his head silently: "From the battlefield to home all at once, you still have to take your time..."
"Is the injury okay?"
Zou Yuanshan asked.
"The injury is okay, not serious, but I feel very tired."
Bai Youming shook his head: "I'm tired."
Bai Zhanfang and Zou Yuanshan fell silent at the same time.
More than a thousand victims were killed in the East Palace.
And Yang Shaoxiong died in Bai Youming's hands.
These are all reasons that make Bai Youming feel tired.
Zou Yuanshan thought for a while, then forced a smile and said: "Qiuchi should be on the plane now. I arranged for my secretary to pick her up. After dinner, it might be good to ask her to chat with you."
Bai Youming blinked, smiled, and hummed. She and Dongcheng Qiuchi hadn't seen each other for a while.
"if..."
Bai Zhanfang frowned: "If you really feel tired, just rest for a while."
He said in a soft voice: "Don't go to Tiannan during this period. Stay with this old man at home. Well, Tianlan will come over in the evening. You can tell him."
"Tian Lan is coming?"
Bai Youming was a little surprised.
"We all come here for family dinners. Your Grandpa Dongcheng will come too."
Bai Zhanfang laughed softly.
"Did something happen?"
Looking at his grandpa's rosy face, Bai Youming felt a little hopeful.
"Good thing."
Bai Zhanfang said with a smile that could not be concealed: "It's all good things."
The door of the villa was pushed open.
A graceful and beautiful figure walked into the villa. Before he saw Bai Zhanfang, he already laughed in a light and cheerful tone: "Dad, I'm back."
She took off her coat and walked into the living room.
Zou Yuanshan stood up immediately and called mom.
Bai Qing smiled lightly and waved her hand for Zou Yuanshan to sit down. She sat next to Bai Youming, reached out and touched her head, and asked softly: "How is the injury?"
Bai Youming hugged the pillow, slowly leaned into Bai Qingqian's arms, and shook his head.
Bai Qingqian hugged her niece quietly and said nothing for a while.
"What do you want to eat tonight? It's time to prepare dinner."
Bai Zhanfang asked.
Bai Qing smiled lightly, and at this moment her whole body seemed to be shining with a soft brilliance.
"I just had a phone call with Tianlan. It's snowing and he wants to eat hot pot."
Bai Zhanfang smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, it's warm."
"Um."
Bai Qingqian nodded: "Tian Lan said he had something to discuss with me."
"What's up?"
Bai Zhanfang was a little surprised.
"have no idea."
Bai Qingqian smiled softly: "But no matter what..."
