He sat solemnly on the sofa with half a cigarette in his mouth. Amidst the smoke, he squinted his eyes while reading the newspaper and said, "Siqi, how is your relationship with Gu Xiaoniu?"
"Can you smoke less? No one can be seen in the house. If you don't know, you might think our house is on fire." Xu Siqi was sitting on the other side, cleaning his pistol carefully.
"When you mention Gu Xiaoniu, you interrupt. Don't tell me that nothing happened to you two. I saw you a few days ago, near the tram stop."
"It was a coincidence that day, she came to the Golden Theater to watch a movie..."
"Did she tell you that?"
"ah."
"Nonsense! The Golden Grand Theater was inspecting the circuit that day and was closed for the day. She must be dreaming about watching a movie."
"..."
He smiled solemnly, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, "Don't you understand? In order to meet you by chance, Gu Xiaoniu came to Foch Road to wait for you. She said watching a movie was just an excuse. Let me tell you, Gu Xiaoniu
I’ve fallen in love with you, how about it, let me tell you?”
Xu Siqi remained silent, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"Siqi, you have to take the initiative to deal with this kind of thing. This little girl is thin-skinned, so it's good to be able to do this."
"I know."
"Since you know, you are still waiting for Gu Xiaoniu to come to you, go find her!"
"It's mainly because I've been busy lately and don't have time."
"What are you busy with? I see that when you come back from get off work, you are sitting at home either reading or reading. If you have this time, meet up with Miss Gu for coffee. After drinking the coffee, go to Paramount and hug each other and dance together. Isn't it more interesting than reading?"
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "It's a good thing, but it's so unsightly that you described it."
Zheng Zheng also smiled and said: "Isn't that what dancing is all about? You hold me, I hold you, and the eyes are flirting, and the clouds and mountains are covered with mist..."
"It's been a busy couple of days." Xu Siqi loaded the pistol and held it in his hand to try it out.
He said solemnly: "Looking at the way you hold the gun, you look pretty decent."
Xu Siqi took the holster, put the pistol in, and said: "Not only does it look good, but let me tell you this, as long as it is a target that can be seen with the eyes, you can basically achieve 100% hit. When I was in Etajima, the shooting subject
Ranked first in the school... Oh, I once fell to second place."
"Why did you fall to second place?" Zheng Zheng asked with interest.
"It was windy that day, and I miscalculated the wind speed. There was only 0.5 ring difference from the first place result."
"Who's number one?"
"You don't recognize me even if you tell me..."
"I can guess who it is even if you don't tell me!"
He pretended to be serious and said, "That person - must be Xiao Nizi!"
"You are so smart." Xu Siqi smiled and got up and entered the bedroom.
After a while, he solemnly said outside the door: "Siqi, I'm going to the dock. I may not be back at night."
Xu Siqi leaned on the bedside, unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and said: "What's going on with you recently? You often stay up at night..."
"Bang!"
The sound of the door slamming shut shut these words inside the door.
Those solemn words brought back Xu Siqi's memories. Due to his different status, he did not tell the complete truth just now.
After the September 18th Incident, Japan was actively preparing for war. The youth exchange activities held in the name of "Japan-China Goodwill" seemed out of date.
In particular, military schools such as Etajima are increasingly rejecting Chinese students. Excellent students like Xu Siqi have even attracted the attention of the Japanese military.
In fact, this is normal. According to the Japanese brain circuit, Xu Siqi will definitely return to China after graduation and will be the most direct opponent of the Japanese army in the future.
——Could it be that before I fought with you, I was worried that you couldn’t beat me, so I handed you the knife?
Xu Siqi also thought of this, and in order not to arouse more hostile jealousy, he "lost" the first place to Hideaki Asano in the last exam before the New Year.
Even so, he still couldn't escape the fate of being expelled.
At the New Year's dinner party, Asano Hidejo suddenly got angry and verbally attacked Xu Siqi, and the two got into a fight...
The past events are vivid in my mind, flashing through my mind like a movie reel.
Xu Siqi sighed inwardly. He felt somewhat sorry for Asano Hidejo. His punch was too hard, which directly caused Asano Hidejo's left eyeball to rupture.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Siqi opened the door, and outside the door was Zhou Weilong with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou? What are you..."
"If you have any questions, can we go in and say it?"
"Of course." Xu Siqi stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Weilong stepped into the house, looked around with his hands behind his back, and said, "Thankfully I know where you live, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find you for a while."
"Mr. Zhou, please have tea." Xu Siqi made a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhou Weilong.
"Brother Xu, please forgive me for coming here so late at night without even saying hello. You don't mind, do you?" Zhou Weilong said.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "How could it be possible? I usually can't invite a big shot like you."
Zhou Weilong smiled: "Let's stop talking. It's been so long, and you must have the answer in your mind. How are you thinking about that matter?"
Xu Siqi looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "To be honest, when I first came to Shanghai, I really planned to join you, but as you have seen, I am now a patrolman..."
"Being a patrolman and joining the secret service do not conflict with each other. From the perspective of secret service work, they are good things that complement each other. Brother Xu, I still say that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. It is very simple to stay out of it and hide.
Find a stable job in the concession, and don't worry about the war outside and the destruction of life. But, can you really feel at ease?" Zhou Weilong said seriously.
Xu Siqi suddenly discovered that Zhou Weilong was actually very suitable for ideological work. If he had not joined the Communist Party long ago, he would probably have been convinced by now.
Seeing Xu Siqi's hesitant look, Zhou Weilong thought for a moment and said: "Well, let's not rush this matter now. You can think about it carefully. I will listen to your reply in three days. I hope you can do it by then."
Make a good decision."
Xu Siqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was in a dilemma on this matter. Rejecting directly was too hasty, and agreeing was inconsistent with organizational discipline.
Now we can only hope to get in touch with Fang Yongyan as soon as possible so that this matter will have a final result.
Zhou Weilong was neither impatient nor impatient. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He savored the taste carefully and praised: "It leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth, and endless aftertaste. What a good tea."
Xu Siqi said: "This is the authentic Xinyang Maojian. This year's new tea, if you like it, just drink more."
Zhou Weilong smiled slightly: "Brother Xu, if it is convenient, I will take you to meet someone tomorrow morning."
