After Lin Chong finished saying what he wanted to say, he was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he glanced at the pot of tea that had barely been touched. In the end, he couldn't help but said: "Well, Lao Qiao..."
Jonathan was still thinking about his own affairs and didn't react for a while. He looked at Lin Chong in a daze as he hesitated to speak: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Lin Chong coughed to ease his guilty conscience: "Old Qiao, what I want to say is, has anyone really told you that you need to use boiling water to make tea?"
Jonathan was stunned. He looked at the pot of tea and then at Lin Chong. He seemed to recall the pained look that flashed across the other person's face when he just drank tea. He touched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Well, I'm sorry.
, I didn’t pay attention to this... I was just thinking about drinking some herbal tea to escape the heat on such a hot day."
Lin Chong couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, and he hummed: "What you said makes sense, but I still suggest you try it with boiled water. If it's not low, you won't want to drink herbal tea anymore."
Lin rushed away, and Jonathan was still looking at the pot of herbal tea in a daze. In fact, he didn't know that boiling water should be used to make tea.
It's just... He remembered the first time he made tea for someone. He was in a hurry and used cold water. However, after the cute girl took a sip, not only did she not blame him, she also raised her eyebrows and eyes: "This is your own creation."
Herbal tea? It’s quite good to drink in summer.”
That was one of the very few words the other party said to him. He always remembered her words word for word, but the other party might not even remember him.
Although he belongs to the most outstanding special forces unit in the world, Jonathan has never known that he is not that outstanding a person.
Often with an inferiority complex, his achievements that appear to be similar to those of others are actually due to the fact that he has put in more effort than others.
Not only did he train himself, Jonathan spent more than ten years making himself a weapons expert. He knew the structure, advantages and disadvantages of those guns better than anyone else, and his years of hard work finally allowed him to win the respect of other comrades.
Be respectful and kind.
Maybe there is still a gap between him and them. Jonathan often feels confused about what he is doing. He doesn't know whether he is making the world better or worse, and he doesn't know whether his efforts are appreciated by others.
Countless people envy their status, but only he knows that in the final analysis, they are just convenient weapons for the country. They just do what they should do, and there is no need to ask or think too much about other things.
That was ten years ago, when a small group of terrorists attacked Los Angeles International Airport in the United States. At that time, Jonathan was on a mission to protect an important leader. What they should do was to send the person away as soon as possible.
Jonathan hesitated when he saw a child who looked about seven or eight years old. The adults beside him had already fallen into a pool of blood.
The child might be beaten to death by terrorists or trampled to death by crowds at any time amid the crowds. He didn't cry, nor was he particularly frightened. What reflected in his eyes was confusion and confusion.
Seeing that such a young child would be trampled to death if left unattended, Jonathan hesitated, handed the important person to another companion and asked them to leave first.
Amid the complicated expressions on his companion's face, he went against the flow of people and walked to the child. It looked like he was an Asian. Jonathan spoke a few words of broken Japanese, and then tried Chinese and Korean. What he could speak was really not standard. The child
He stared at him with a confused expression and said nothing.
Jonathan thought that the child was probably frightened out of his wits, so he picked him up and put him in a safe corner. He wanted to tell him that he was staying here, but due to the language barrier and communication barriers, he had to point and draw a circle on the spot.
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Jonathan helped the special police who came after receiving the news to subdue the anti-government militants. With the gratitude of the local special police, he went back to continue his mission.
When he reached that corner, he took a look, but unfortunately no one was there anymore.
Probably picked up by the police or some of his relatives, Jonathan thought.
Although the important person was not harmed in any way, Jonathan was still punished. He didn't care much about it. It was rare that he did something he thought was right. He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
Besides, taking a year off is not a bad thing. I don’t know how many people would envy him. Jonathan comforted himself.
A year later, his punishment was over. He continued to go on missions, flying around the world, with guns coming and going in the rain. This little episode had long been forgotten by him.
It wasn't until Lin Chong pretended to ask casually last time that Jonathan finally remembered why he hadn't gone on a mission that year.
The image of the little boy looking at him with wide eyes in confusion was already very blurry, but at this moment it gradually overlapped with Lin Chong's proud smile when he was plotting against others.
So you are already this old? Jonathan smiled.
Should I say it was fate? I, who was supposed to sacrifice myself in the mission, accidentally traveled to China hundreds of years ago and was brought to the capital as a rare species.
Because of the language barrier, it was difficult for him to understand what the other party meant, and he couldn't accept being asked to kneel down at every turn. As a result, he offended the emperor and was sentenced to death in a confused manner.
I don’t know if I can go back if I die like this. Damn it, Jonathan silently gave God a middle finger.
Then, he saw a beautiful woman he had never seen in his life. The beautiful woman had a playful smile. Although he didn't understand what she meant, Jonathan still held the hand she extended.
The girl who saved him took him to the back mountain. At that time, he could already distinguish some simple meanings of the other party. The only thing he understood was the simplest sentence of the other party: "I will come when I go, you wait for me here."
.”
Just such a sentence, Jonathan lived in the desolate mountains for five years. During these five years, he finally learned the expressions here, and finally understood all kinds of things that he originally thought were unbelievable, such as everyone having to pay homage to the emperor.
Have fear.
It's a pity that she didn't wait for her after all.
Jonathan was extremely excited when he saw her in the inn, but all her thoughts were on Lin Chong, or the person she thought was the emperor. She didn't remember herself at all, and Jonathan was very disappointed.
He made a pot of tea. It was the first time he made tea. As a result, the girl who squinted her eyes when she smiled was not angry after drinking it. She said that this tea is very suitable for drinking in summer.
Jonathan walked outside carrying the small pot still filled with tea. He poured the cold tea on the ground. This pot of tea was always cold.
No matter how much I wait, I probably won't be able to wait for you to come back. It's time for me to leave. See you again by chance. You're a beautiful girl with a beautiful smile.
