Take out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and use the bottle opener hanging on the refrigerator door skillfully to remove the bottle cap.
After drinking most of the bottle in one breath, Iron Arm let out a sigh of relief.
Feeling comfortable.
Just wait until you brush your teeth and go to bed...
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Iron Arm raised his eyebrows, would anyone come so late? Could I have heard wrong?
The doorbell rang again.
——Okay, I definitely didn’t hear it wrong this time.
"Here we come!" Iron Arm opened the door.
There was a young man standing at the door, holding a bag in his hand.
When he opened his mouth to say something, he hesitated and closed his mouth.
"……sorry for disturbance."
Seeing the young man turn around to leave, an iron arm held down his shoulder.
"What's the matter, Jiang Yan? Why do you want to see me so late?"
The young man turned around with a face full of shock, and looked at Tie Arm carefully up and down, until Tie Arm felt a little hairy in his heart, and then asked in a doubtful voice:
"...Are you Iron Arm?"
Iron Arm really wanted to slap Jiang Yan on the face. He rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, why would I open the door for you if it weren't for me? What's wrong..."
"...Unbelievable..." Jiang Yan shook his head with complicated eyes.
"What's wrong?"
The iron arm lifted the beer bottle that had not been put down and drank the remaining half of the bottle.
"I really didn't expect you to wear pajamas with white spots on your foundation and a heart pattern on it."
Jiang Yan held Iron Arm's shoulders and said sincerely:
"It's my fault that I accidentally peeked into your private life, and I'm not qualified to comment on other people's taste in choosing bathrobes and pajamas... But if you choose a girly dress, you must be under great pressure, or you may have some psychological problems.
."
"Iron Arm, we are friends. If you have anything to say, you must tell us..."
Iron Arm's mouth twitched and said:
"...This is the pajamas my wife picked out."
"Actually, you can directly admit your taste in buying clothes, there is no need to make excuses..."
Before Jiang Shao finished speaking, Iron Arm closed the door.
The doorbell rang again.
After a long time, there was the sound of Jiang Yan knocking on the door.
"Brother! I was wrong! Let me in! Save the child!"
Iron Arm opened the door again.
Jiang Yan said before he could say anything: "Brother, your pajamas are so beautiful."
The flesh on Iron Arm's face twitched again.
He handed Jiang Yan a cold beer.
"Come in and say something."
——
As a young man with ideals and ambitions...
Okay, let's be honest.
After telling Hong a bedtime story, he took his clothes and toothbrush, put on a lamp and a door, and sent text messages to the neighbors who were still there, before Jiang Yan came out of the dormitory all the way.
But during the holidays, where can I find a place to sleep in the suburbs?
...My wallet was also left in the room.
——He lives alone in Tieju’s dormitory. Jiang Yan heard Tieju say this three months ago when he came out of the police station in City A.
Well, although I have never been there...but Jiang Yan knows the location.
Official operator dormitory building.
——
"So you left that wolf girl in your room?" Iron Arm blinked.
"I thought you would find a good place for her in advance...or are you saying that you have no good intentions?"
Jiang Yan sat down on the sofa: "...I did think about it thirty minutes ago."
"I'll go, so you were kicked out by the girl?"
Jiang Shao pointed to his face: "Did you see any slap or claw marks on my face?"
"It seems you are not that beastly...have you really not considered where the girl sleeps?"
Iron Arm sat down on another sofa and opened another bottle of beer for himself.
"Take a hundred steps back, I never thought about it." Jiang Yan raised the bottle of wine depressedly.
Who dares to touch that aunt? She was wiped out in a matter of minutes.
It was also because Jiang Yan was missing something. When he and Hong lived together, although they slept in one room, they had two beds. For a moment, he didn't even remember that his dormitory had a single bed.
But it wasn't like he didn't have lustful thoughts for a moment. Fortunately, his reason and Hong's age allowed him to suppress his gun.
But if something really happened with Hong, Jiang Shao would look down on himself for the rest of his life.
But Hong's young girl's vacuum T-shirt was too lethal...Jiang Yan didn't have the guts to stay in the room.
While drinking, he glanced at Iron Arm.
Now he regrets it a little.
Jiang Yan would rather endure the pain of pressing a gun and sleeping on the floor than live with this strong Ursa man in girlish pajamas.
The corners of Jiang Yan's eyes wet for a moment, and he drank the rest of the wine in the bottle - the contrast between the maintenance and pain caused by vision was so strong.
"Hiccup...but speaking of which, I didn't know you had a wife."
Jiang Yan put down the empty bottle.
"Not just a wife, I also have a daughter." Iron Arm shrugged: "I never told you, of course you don't know."
"You still have family members who choose to work as an operator for a security contracting company?"
"People with little education know how to fight and can't do anything else." Iron Arm laughed at himself.
"Then why did you come to Heigang?" Jiang Yan was very confused: "Where are your wife and children?"
"...They are in Ursus, but I can't stay in Ursus anymore." The muscles on Iron Arm's face seemed to have softened a lot. "I haven't seen them in many years."
"..."
Jiang Yan was silent - he could hear the vague sadness in Tie Arm's words.
Why did Iron Arm abandon his homeland? Why did he leave his family? Jiang Yan had no way of knowing. But no one can resist his feelings for his homeland and his longing for his family.
"Want to see the photos?" Tie Arm took out an iron cigarette box from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan opened the box and found cigarettes neatly arranged inside. On the back of the lid was a photo that seemed to be of some age - slightly curled, but well preserved.
The photo shows a young man with a sinewy face, wearing a uniform with the national emblem of Ursus, and a young woman clinging to him next to him.
Between them is a little girl with twin tails - brown eyes like iron arms and brown hair like the young woman.
All three of them have a pair of round, small ears on their heads, and their smiles are natural and happy.
"...very good photos." Jiang Yan closed the lid and handed the cigarette box back to Tiejian steadily. "They are..."
"My wife Nina and our child Miliya." Iron Arm put the cigarette box away again.
"The little girl was five years old when this photo was taken - I was still in the army at that time. I asked a brother in the army to take this photo for me.*
"Great photo...you guys look happy."
"Thanks."
The two were silent for a while, and Tie Jian greeted him: "You'd better take a shower first, and I'll tidy up the other room for you. It's getting late, so go to bed early."
"...That's right."
Jiang Yan was getting up to wash up when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at the watch he just received from Jessica.
"Iron Arm, Merry Christmas."
"Huh? Ah, yes, Merry Christmas, Jiang Yan."
"And... Merry Christmas to your family, Milia and Nina. I hope they are all well."
"...Thank you. I will tell them."
Jiang Yan walked to the bathroom.
Iron Arm looks to the east - that is the direction of Ursus.
"...Merry Christmas, Nina, Milia."
——————————
In ancient Russia, any word could be used as a person's name. People regarded names as an integral part of themselves, and believed that happiness or success, illness or death, strength or weakness, etc. were often associated with names.
"Milia" comes from the word "darling", which means "lovely child".
Ursus is based on Russia.

Time and frequency of reading growth, reader retention – these are important to me!
