Snowflakes were still rustling on the ground, and Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun walked side by side in the snow.
"Today is New Year's Eve, aren't you going home?" Cheng Jinyun asked as he handed a freshly peeled chestnut to Mingtai again.
Mingtai was not polite and took it directly and put it in his mouth, "Aren't you going home? Are you going home too?"
Cheng Jinyun just nodded slightly and did not reply.
"Do you live in Shanghai?" Mingtai asked again.
"Maybe he will stay." Cheng Jinyun replied, "Maybe not. It depends on the current situation. It also depends on the family arrangements."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. I didn't mean to pry about you."
Cheng Jinyun smiled and didn't seem to mind very much, "I know, but there are some things that I can't decide. In troubled times, in most cases, we have no control over it."
"Yes, in such a war-torn world, we can only do our duty. Although it seems that wolves are in charge now, I believe that those wolves will be wiped out sooner or later!"
"Me too." Cheng Jinyun nodded in agreement and then handed over a freshly peeled chestnut.
The two of them walked to the middle of the street and passed by a cinema. Cheng Jinyun suddenly stopped and stared at the huge movie poster on the wall. For a moment, he was in a trance.
"Do you like watching movies?" Mingtai asked.
"I like it, but I don't watch it often." Cheng Jinyun replied.
"If you were asked to choose one movie, "Mulan Joins the Army" or "The Legend of White Snake", which one would you choose?" Mingtai seemed to be at a loss for words, but in fact his brain was running rapidly, secretly guessing the other party's answer.
"Guess which one I will choose?" This time, Cheng Jinyun did not hand the peeled chestnut to Mingtai, but stuffed it into his mouth and asked with a smile in his eyes.
"Of course it's "Mulan Joins the Army." Mingtai said without thinking.
"Why?"
"Because you are very brave and dare to resist instead of submitting to the situation. You will not be inferior to women."
However, Mingtai never expected that after hearing this answer that he thought was perfect, Cheng Jinyun just smiled noncommittally and had no intention of continuing the topic.
So the silence between the two returned to the beginning and they continued to walk forward.
The snowflakes continued to fall on the bluestone and turned into ice water. At this point, the snow and water merged into one piece without distinguishing each other.
Just like the relationship between Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun at the moment, they are intertwined and entangled with each other, as if they are easily touched, but they don't know where they came from and where they are going.
The two of them arrived at Waibaidu Bridge in this way, and Cheng Jinyun took the lead to break the somewhat awkward silence, "It's getting late, I have to leave, my family is waiting to keep me company! Also, thank you for the chestnuts."
"You're welcome!" Before parting, Mingtai suddenly felt a sense of loss. He wanted to stay but couldn't find any reason. In the end, he could only lean forward slightly and said, "I'll call a car for you."
!”
Cheng Jinyun nodded in agreement.
So Mingtai waved to hire a rickshaw for her, but Cheng Jinyun did not get on the rickshaw immediately, but solemnly said to him, "Goodbye."
"See you again by fate!"
After getting in the car, Cheng Jinyun quickly stopped the driver, stuck out his head and said quietly to Mingtai: "Mr. Xiao, I want to tell you that if you want to watch the movie just now, I would choose "The Legend of White Snake".
"
"Why?" Mingtai asked very puzzled.
Cheng Jinyun smiled, "Because White Lady is willing to move mountains and seas for the one she loves."
The extra-rhyme and the extra-stringy sound tugged at Mingtai's heartstrings.
But when he came back to his senses, Cheng Jinyun's car had already disappeared into the swirling snowy night.
However, Mingtai would never have imagined that Cheng Jinyun only sat two blocks away before asking the coachman to stop. But just as she was about to return the same way, she was blocked by a figure.
"Team...Team leader?" Although he was startled by Li Qiang who suddenly appeared in front of him, Cheng Jinyun quickly returned to normal, "I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence.
.”
"Yes, it is indeed such a coincidence." Li Qiang said thoughtfully, "If I guessed correctly, that kid just now is the military spy you met on the Sakura train when you were executing the 'Smash Plan'"
?”
"...Yes." Li Qiang's words completely broke the last trace of luck in Cheng Jinyun's heart, so he could only lower his head and admit.
Li Qiang nodded after hearing this, "Well, fortunately, you didn't try to lie to get through. Tell me! Why did you want to have private contact with him, even at the cost of creating an 'accidental encounter'?"
"I...I think he...has progressive ideas, is passionate and patriotic, and is a candidate that can be fought for, so..."
"So you want to instigate him?"
Cheng Jinyun didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Li Qiang didn't want to but sneered and asked, "Why?"
"Ah?" Cheng Jinyun couldn't help but be stunned.
"I ask why you think you can instigate rebellion against him? By using a honey trap?"
"I..." Li Qiang's words were like needles, piercing into Cheng Jinyun's heart, and tears filled his eyes with grievance.
However, Li Qiang seemed to not know how to show mercy at all, and continued to say in an extremely stern tone: "Do you know why Wang Jingwei was instigated by the Japanese to rebel? Because in his view, joining the Japanese would bring him the power he had coveted for a long time.
and status. But now you keep saying that you want to instigate him, so what can you bring to him? Will you volunteer yourself? Not to mention whether he will accept it, or even if he accepts it, then he is just
It’s just Huang Jun and his son, who have violated their original intentions, betrayed their companions, betrayed their comrades, and even betrayed their beliefs because of a woman, what qualifications do they have to join the organization?"
Li Qiang's words were like a blow to the head, waking up Cheng Jinyun. At the same time, she realized how stupid her behavior just now was, so she quickly lowered her head in shame and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, team leader. I know I was wrong.
Already."
"Not only is it wrong, it is simply a big mistake! Let me ask you, what are you going to do next?"
"Try to avoid it and reduce contact." Cheng Jinyun hesitated for a long time before speaking with difficulty.
"Sincerely?"
"I……"
Before Cheng Jinyun could finish speaking, Li Qiang couldn't help but snorted, "Humph! I knew that you already had some affection for that kid, didn't you? That's why you were so eager to turn him around.
