Chapter One: Life (07)

Without any regard for the presence of others, he scolded, "Your handwriting is worse than that of my two-year-old son. Didn't you practice calligraphy with your grandfather when you were young? How did you end up like this?"

The coach repeated this statement no less than ten times, and Chen Rui remembers it very clearly, because at that time there were many people who had not yet overcome their fear of skydiving. They hesitated to leave the aircraft, their body movements were not standard, which led to their reluctance to deploy the main parachute. Each time they jumped out, they directly pulled the reserve parachute. Chen Rui himself had experienced this situation as well.

One is his mother

In fact, I rarely think of the good, most of the time I think of the bad

He got up at night to prepare for duty, squatting at the entrance of the dormitory with a cigarette in his mouth, waiting for his comrades from the same post inside to teach the person a lesson.

One is good

"It is impossible to match, given their conditions. Unless one has lost their mind, to marry a soldier." Lu Huaizheng gazed off into the distance.

I am impressed, with wide red eyes: "You little rascal, are you a cow's stomach?"

He patiently led her forward, even after several repetitions. As they exited the building, he conveniently held the door for her. This was his territory, a place he traversed daily with his eyes closed. He was familiar with every corner, and he could attend to her feelings in every detail.

Li Hongwen was listening attentively with his ear turned towards Lu Huaizheng as he assigned work. He had his arms crossed over his chest and was listening very seriously. For the important parts, he casually scribbled a few strokes on the paper, and the characters were written in a flamboyant and disorderly manner. Li Hongwen particularly disapproved of his style.

At the moment when the two people's eyes met, Yu Hao lowered his head, wiped his hands with a tissue, and asked without any emotion: "Where is Professor Han?"

Lu Huaizheng led her down the stairs, as he was accustomed to tiptoeing and taking several steps at once until he reached the corner. Turning back to look, he saw that she was still leisurely walking behind him, so he tucked his hands into his pockets and leaned against the wall to wait for a while. Once she had nearly caught up by two or three steps, he stood up and proceeded to the next flight of stairs

Thank you

Remember

Generally, outsiders entering and exiting the military district are subject to inspection, which typically involves a check for any sharp objects in their bags. Aside from items like mobile phones and voice recorders, there is also concern about the potential leakage of sensitive materials. This morning, Yu Hao and Professor Han arrived in the car of Li Hongwen, and their belongings were handed directly to Li Hongwen's secretary. However, at this moment, they were stopped while leaving, as it was reported that there was an unregistered black irregular object in Yu Hao's bag, and she was asked to take out her bag.

When I was your age, truly, I had skin thicker than a city wall and spoke without restraint; you should not take those words to heart

No, I just have my doubts. Can all the main umbrellas in this world be opened? Are there truly main umbrellas that cannot be opened? It is not that my skills are lacking, but rather that there is indeed a problem with that umbrella

"I don't know, my leader asked you to go back first," he said truthfully. Just now, as Yu Hao left, Li Hongwen hurriedly dragged Professor Han away, saying that they wanted Lu Huaizheng to arrange a car to send her back first

"No," he coughed, rubbed his neck, and glanced lightly elsewhere, "my throat is uncomfortable"

Although the sunlight filled the entire conference room, creating a warm atmosphere, the mood between the two individuals was as cold as ice. That beam of warm yellow light seemed to stretch across the space between them, like an insurmountable chasm.

Lu Huaizheng was sitting half on the table, with both hands in his pockets, his gaze wandering aimlessly around until she entered, causing him to pause

Later, it seems that I developed a habit

The two characters "于好" pierced his eyes painfully

Chen Rui realized, "Are you trying to matchmake you with that young lady? What are you rambling on about here?"

In approximately a few seconds

After wrapping them up, wait for his father to return, then throw them into the pot to boil. He can eat dozens of these dry dumplings in one go.

Lu Huaizheng squinted his eyes slightly, his voice surprisingly calm: "The instructor said that a good parachutist should only use the backup parachute when it is certain that the main parachute will not open"

Lu Huaizheng evidently lacks talent; at most, he has managed to practice his writing to a somewhat decent level. Even so, he feels that his childhood was filled with too much suffering

He was on duty in the company, and the most painful duty was standing guard at night, especially during the latter half of the night in winter. At that time, heavy snow would fall, covering everything outside in white. Some veterans had a habit of grabbing a handful of snow from outside and stuffing it into the collar of your uniform while you were sound asleep, then they would run away. This method was infallible; it was guaranteed to wake you up.

He recalled the year he first joined the army, coinciding with the New Year. The team was making dumplings, and the chief instructor bet with him, claiming he could eat fifty dumplings in one go. Lu Huai stunnedly replied that he could eat seventy. As a result, they placed a bet, and the entire company gathered around to watch the excitement, with cheers and shouts of encouragement. The chief instructor often found ways to torment them, and the soldiers rallied together, united in their hope that Lu Huai would put the chief instructor in his place.

Lu Huaizheng did not return to the dormitory, but instead sat on the lawn with a dogtail grass in his mouth, leisurely watching the new recruits training next door

Annual regular check-up, in addition, follow-up can be conducted after the war. We can arrange for you to come at any time, and of course, if your family members need assistance or consultation, they can also reach out to us at any time

It seems that Yu Hao has returned to his high school days, as he appears to be very familiar with every corner of the school. Every time he passes a place, he knows where there are dog holes and where he can climb over the wall. He claims to be good at observation, but in reality, it is just an excuse for skipping classes.

This was somewhat unexpected for Lu Huaizheng, as he thought she would not speak up

He lifted his butt off the table, his hands still in his pockets, nodded slightly, and generously said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the entrance of the military district"

Li Hongwen has no objections, and even if Lu Huaizheng has opinions, it is not his place to voice them. For the time being, this matter will be determined by Li Hongwen, but the final decision must still be made in a meeting with the senior leaders.

Professor Han and Li Hongwen do not know where they have gone

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and pulled the tail grass off his mouth. Lu Huaizheng looked over suspiciously, raising his eyebrows as he did so, which created several lines on his forehead. After glancing at the newcomer, he lazily lowered his eyelids again

Reassignment has turned him into an airborne soldier, and the dining facilities for aircrew are mostly required to match his physique, making dining less casual than before

Chen Rui cast a suspicious glance at him, "Stop pretending, I heard from the class leader that the leader wants to match you with that woman... Hey, that woman is indeed both beautiful and refined, and she speaks in a gentle and soft voice. So... you don't find her appealing at all?"

Passing through the sentry post ahead, you will reach the exit, and the vehicle will be waiting for you at the entrance

Lu Huaizheng ignored him and turned his head slightly to the side

The awakened individuals were all filled with anger, springing up from their beds like fish leaping out of water, chasing after people throughout the house

Uncertain about it, I asked again

Chen Ruiyin said with a hint of unease: "Why do I feel like you are cursing at someone"

... ...

Alright, I have taken the person away, open the door

Lu Huaizheng shook his head and smiled, remaining silent

Is there a woman in stove number 6

There is a meeting in the afternoon at the military district, which Professor Han, Li Hongwen, and Lu Huaizheng must attend. It concerns the establishment of a standard for conducting psychological health assessments for the Air Force. Yu Hao is also attending.

Every year when it snows, he writes the name Yuhao on the ground using various fonts he learned in his childhood. After writing it many times, he finds it easier to write Yuhao's name than his own.

The sentinel responsible for the inspection was particularly meticulous, not even letting the sanitary pads in the goodie bag go unchecked, carefully taking them out and examining them thoroughly, fearing that something like a chip might be hidden inside.

Yu Hao felt it was impossible; he was probably just in a moment of whimsy, teasing her. She ignored him and silently began to tidy up the notebooks spread out on the table.

Lu Huaizheng ignored him, took back the dogtail grass, and bit it again. This time, he simply crossed his arms behind his head and comfortably lay on the grass with his legs crossed.

Hearing his tone was somewhat off, even Li Hongwen cast him a reproachful glance, "What’s wrong, have you eaten gunpowder?"

He is not that heartless, after all, she is a girl he once genuinely liked

Chen Rui is confused, why suddenly bring this up

Lu Huaizheng did not look at Yu Hao at all; even when she went on stage to analyze the data, he merely focused on the projector behind her.

Has Professor Han really left

The meeting concluded, and Yuhao went to the restroom. By the time he returned, the people had already dispersed

Lu Huai was awakened precisely, as he had hardly been involved, remaining in a state of observation

It was just an ordinary night

He used to have this expression when being scolded by the teacher, subconsciously rubbing his nose, neither humble nor reticent, and it was unclear whether he was actually listening. In any case, he looked as if he had done something wrong, yet he stared at you with complete honesty, showing no signs of embarrassment.

Then you probably met me for the first time today

Lu Huaizheng also did not start off well, and he was not in a good mood: "I am leaving"

Although it is said this way, the captain still particularly likes him

"Why do I feel that there is something unsaid in your words?" Chen Rui said cautiously as he looked at him

"What about the time?" Lu Huaizheng finally slowly shifted his gaze to her upon hearing this, his expression particularly mocking, "Once every six months? Or once a year? Or once every ten years?"

After he was admitted to the military academy in his second year, he never had dumplings that tasted as good as those again

The newcomer was a young man, five years younger than Lu Huaizheng, and also a soldier in their team, Chen Rui. He brushed aside the grass beside him, sat down next to him, with one leg bent and the other hand resting on his knee, tilting his head to look at him, "Captain, what are you thinking about?"

It's quite similar to now

... ...

Lu Huaizheng thought of this, and he leaned back, lying flat on the grass, with his hands supporting the back of his head, his eyes slightly squinted, feet propped up, and the dogtail grass in his mouth swaying back and forth.

Professor Han has already applied to the institution, and if you need, we can provide psychological health assessments at any time for you

Chen Rui chuckled as he looked at him: "You can't be thinking about that woman from stove number 6 just now, can you?"

"Be polite." He smiled slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and nodded his chin at her, "Let's go."

You often say that men should not belittle themselves, especially soldiers. Who are you criticizing now

Then the man's voice pulled her back to reality

The chief instructor could not swallow any more after the sixty-eighth dumpling, staring in astonishment at the young man in front of him, who, unfazed, continued to eat his seventy-eighth dumpling.

Therefore, when he later learned that Yu Hao could play so many musical instruments, while others were in awe of him, one thought that emerged in his mind was...

Chen Rui said, "Captain, you are quite unusual today"

He deliberately bit the character for ten

After serving in the military for so many years, he has thought about two women during his time in the army

After a while, Chen Rui noticed that he had not moved and assumed that he had fallen asleep

The two had already been in a state of cold war before transferring schools. When Yu Hao encountered him on the road, he turned and walked away. Lu Huaizheng was the same; he had been chatting and smiling with others, but upon seeing her, his expression immediately turned cold, and the temperature around him seemed to drop by more than three degrees.

Lu Huaizheng rubbed his nose, wearing an expression of having received training

Can you show the way

Do you still remember when we first learned to skydive?" he mumbled, biting on the grass

How many beatings must one endure in childhood

"I remember," Chen Rui said leisurely, "the coach said that if all of us had your courage, there would be no one failing the parachute jump every year." After saying this, she still felt it was somewhat unbelievable, propping herself up with her elbows and pressing her face down a bit: "I am very curious, how did you manage to open the parachute when your face was almost touching the ground? At that time, the captain was so angry that his face turned blue; he said if you had been a second later, you would have been done for, and your little stunt would have broken the team's years of zero-error record." Her face pressed down again: "I am very curious, how did you manage to open the parachute when your face was almost touching the ground? At that time, the captain was so angry that his face turned blue; he said if you had been a second later, you would have been done for, and your little stunt would have broken the team's years of zero-error record."

The guard's pad was pulled away by someone, and several people looked up to see.

When passing by the sentry booth, security checks are required

The person behind did not move, still in the same posture with one hand in their pocket, leaning against the desk with half of their buttocks resting on it, lazily asked: "Do you know the way?"

His mother used to serve in the military, and her skills were learned from the chefs in the cooking team, so upon joining the unit, it felt very familiar

The first time I thought of you was when my first year of military service was coming to an end

Yuhao held the notebook close to his chest and picked up the bag beside him to leave

Lu Huaizheng suddenly sat up, resting his elbow on his bent knee, and chuckled lightly

Since then, during that period, he may have been a bit infatuated, always thinking of the good times, but every time he reminisced, it was never a pleasant matter

In fact, as long as you kindly say a word, "Please give me a ride," he will personally drive her.

The last time I wrote her name seems to have been over two years ago, but I cannot recall clearly

Lu Huaizheng has been a well-behaved child who could eat two bowls of rice since he was young, and he particularly enjoys the dumplings made by his mother. Every time his mother makes dumplings, he would bring a small stool to sit beside her and help her with the dumpling preparation.

After finishing lunch, I took a moment to rest

Under the gaze of many, four or five pairs of eyes were fixed intently on a large man as he examined her sanitary pad back and forth, causing her face to flush all the way to the base of her neck

The entire conference room is very quiet

The handwriting is quite good, with a vigorous brushstroke, beautiful. When I was young, I learned small regular script from my grandfather, who was rather impatient, often fishing for three days and sunbathing for two. With a mischievous nature, I was chased and hit on the backside daily with a chicken feather duster by him. After much effort, I finally managed to learn a model, but my grandfather refused to teach me any further. Calligraphy is such that once you have imitated enough, the form and structure will be there; the rest depends on whether you have the innate talent.

Suddenly, I heard

At dusk, with no heavy clouds or mist, the sky is a clear blue. The soft, golden rays of the setting sun filter in through the window, casting a beam of pale yellow light dust in the air. Coupled with the books and papers spread across the table, time seems to have returned to twelve years ago

Lu Huaizheng did not know when he had come over, stuffing the woman's belongings back into her bag. He held the bag in one hand while using the other to pull her closer, pinching her shoulder to lift her in front of him. He nodded towards a few people nearby, gesturing towards the door. His voice came from above, like a series of melodious notes, lightly landing on her shoulders, akin to the slender hands resting on her shoulders, warm and reaching straight to her heart

Because the instructor said that the opening rate of the main parachute is one thousand percent, there are no parachutes that cannot open, only soldiers who do not know how to jump

The squad did not allow smoking, so he just bit on a stick to satisfy his craving. He casually picked up a twig from the ground and inexplicably began to write the name of Yuhao. He wrote slowly, stroke by stroke, and did not pay attention while writing. However, when he finished, he dropped the twig and took a look.
