Section 1

Crispy? Your new friend?

Zhao Duoyang's expression changed slightly, not knowing why I was angry, he could only turn his head to look at Xingzi

I looked at him, slowly retracting my smile, as the steam from the hot pot enveloped us. I spoke clearly, word by word: "This is not hype, nor is it a show. When ordinary people do good deeds, they are praised as role models; why should they be accused of putting on a show just because they made the news? If you were, at this moment, as frozen as they are, with cracked hands and face, shoveling snow in thin gloves, unable to have even a sip of hot soup at noon, even if you were putting on a show, I would still admire you. I am sorry, Zhao Duoyang, but I cannot share a table with someone like you." If you were, at this moment, as frozen as they are, with cracked hands and face, shoveling snow in thin gloves, unable to have even a sip of hot soup at noon, even if you were putting on a show, I would still admire you. I am sorry, Zhao Duoyang, but I cannot share a table with someone like you.

The young soldier is very shy in front of the camera: "Twenty"

This statement is indeed true, and I have no objections

"Formalism?" I widened my eyes and then revealed my small white teeth in a smile, "Do you mean... a performance?"

It has been two years

Taking advantage of Zhao Duoyang getting up to go to the restroom, I seized the opportunity to criticize classmate Ke Xingxiang's aesthetic sense: "If compared to an average man, he is still quite good, but when compared to our Ye Zhan... oh, I misspoke, there is no comparison, he cannot measure up."

Zhao Duoyang smiled slightly and said, "However, there is no need to hype anything right now. The events that occur in reality, as presented to us through the media, are certainly embellished and distorted beyond recognition. The military exists to defend the country and its people, funded by taxpayers. Tasks such as snow removal are part of their responsibilities and do not need to be elevated to the status of national veneration."

This sentence is from the Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan's "The Magpie Bridge Immortal"

Zhao Duoyang appears to be a well-mannered individual, placing great importance on the details of life. He is courteous to others and, while he cannot be categorized as a handsome man, he gives off a sense of warmth. When I spoke nonsense with my eyes wide open, he did not expose me but politely said, "I often hear Xingxiang mention you."

The female reporter, with tears in her eyes and deep emotion, said: "Dear audience, while we sit in the warmth of our heated rooms watching television and enjoying family reunions, our brave soldiers are fighting in the harshest conditions to protect our homeland. They are also sons to their parents, husbands to their wives, and fathers to their children. Yet, they sacrifice their own families for the happiness and stability of more people. Let us together express our gratitude to these most admirable individuals and their families, saying to them, 'You have worked hard!'"

She introduced calmly: "This is Zhao Duoyang, and this is my best friend Tang Guo. Guo Guo does not eat mushrooms and carrots, so those two are off the menu. Also, www.hetushu.com is not drinking today; Guo Guo can handle a thousand cups without getting drunk, so don't embarrass yourself in front of her."

How many years have you served in the military

The young soldier looked at the camera, still feeling shy: "Mom and Dad, I cannot return home for the New Year this year. The army is my home. You can rest assured, I will study hard in the army and serve my country well!"

The literary young woman Ke Xingxiang stood up for the deceased: "Your world is too narrow, hurry up and add this person for me!"

Xingzi, as steady as Mount Tai, wore a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown, and each word was articulated with precision: "I said, 'Isn't it said that Ye Zhen from your family will graduate in half a year and then go to the army? You've pursued Ye Zhen for three and a half years with no results. When Ye Zhen leaves, what will you do?'"

The renowned poet Tang Guo of our country said, "If two people are to be together for a long time, what does it matter whether it is day or night?"

Oh, the human skeleton sent by our group, I have preserved the skull, which is called "Crispy"

Classmate Ke Xingxiang turned her face innocently towards the window to look at the scenery, showing no sympathy for him. I said, "Xingzi, I have an anatomy class in the afternoon, you all go ahead and eat, the hot pot here is really unappetizing. It would be better to hold onto our crispy buns and take a bite instead."

The pseudo-literary young woman, classmate Tang Guo, stated that the deceased Qin Guan's emotions were very stable: "There is no such person in my world."

My heart is filled with emotion, have you ever seen a queen? Have you ever seen a living queen? ... Her full name is Ke Xingxiang, and her nickname is Xingzi, Little Xingzi, or Little Xiangxiang. ... Well, her name is not important; what matters is the gaze that regards everything as insignificant, and this powerful aura

The military unit is great, very impressive. If he doesn't serve in the military, won't my wish to be a military wife be in vain?

Xingzi cleared her throat with a cough

I rested my chin on my hand and looked up at the large LCD television on the wall, which was broadcasting the news. Heavy snowfall in Northeast China was disrupting transportation, and a certain military unit had been assigned the task of clearing the snow. The green camouflage uniforms stood out vividly against the white snow. I have contemplated countless times about what Xingzi said; in fact, his departure might be for the best, as it would create distance between him and Zhuoyue, causing their feelings to gradually fade, allowing me to take advantage of the situation. ... After all, my moral bottom line ... ... Well, I basically have no moral bottom line; it all depends on my preferences. I have thought about this matter regarding Xingzi countless times; in fact, his leaving might be for the best, as it would create distance between him and Zhuoyue, causing their feelings to gradually fade, allowing me to take advantage of the situation. ... After all, my moral bottom line ... ... Well, I basically have no moral bottom line; it all depends on my preferences. This corner has been dug for so many years; I would welcome any opportunity to take advantage of the situation, but the key is that both the 'opportunity' and the 'gap' must exist.

The female reporter, overwhelmed by maternal love at this moment, asks: "Do you miss home? Our program is aimed at a national audience, and perhaps your parents are watching in front of the television. What would you like to say to them through our camera? www.hetushu.com, I believe your parents will definitely hear you."

After speaking, Zhao Duoyang left with an expression as if he had swallowed a fly

Xingzi's school is not far from me; it is only two subway stops away. She started college and immediately got a boyfriend, who is said to be a remarkable person capable of saying "I love you" in over one hundred languages. Xingzi brought him to meet me; his name is Zhao Duoyang. He is two centimeters shorter than Ye Zhen from my family, but he is still one meter eighty tall. However, he appears somewhat unhealthily pale and lacks physical strength, resembling a frail scholar.

Zhao Duoyang returned from the restroom and saw me watching the news with Xingzi, so he turned around to watch the news as well. In the footage, a young soldier was shoveling snow. Compared to the female reporter next to him, who was dressed in a thick down jacket, he was dressed lightly and thinly, with his nose turning bright red from the cold. The female reporter cheerfully brought the microphone closer and asked, "May I ask how old you are?"

... ...

When I was a freshman, Ye Zhen was in her third year of graduate studies, and this stark disparity truly drove me crazy

We met at the hot pot restaurant at the entrance of the Foreign Language Institute. Xingzi possesses a detached personality that is neither elated by external circumstances nor saddened by personal misfortunes. From her face and actions, one cannot discern whether she is in the throes of passionate love or experiencing the seven-year itch.

Please, come back to your senses; it shouldn't be that you look so infatuated even while watching the news

Zhao Duoyang began to express his views after reading: "Lei Feng did good deeds without seeking recognition, yet people have written about it in diaries and books. The soldiers of the people quietly shovel snow, and there must be television stations following them; otherwise, how can everyone know that they have done good deeds and establish the image of the military? ... These are all just formalities."

Such reports are often broadcasted in the news. As we are the family members of military personnel and prospective military spouses, we feel quite moved every time we watch them. Of course, one must automatically filter out the emotional manipulation employed by female reporters; otherwise, it would be too much to bear.

Classmate Ke Xingxiang's piercing gaze swept over like a knife, condemning my dishonesty and hypocrisy, but I pretended not to see it

Zhao Duoyang reached out his hand, and I recalled the sticky residue on the lollipop stick I had just eaten. I hurriedly wiped my hands on my clothes before shaking his hand. With a smile as charming as a flower, he said, "Hello, I often hear Xingzi mention you!"

Ke Xingxiang touched my forehead, shook her head and sighed: "It's over, Guoguo, you are broken"

I gave this man a perfect score for my first impression. However, classmate Ke Xingxiang probably won't appreciate it, because I am emotional and she is rational. When emotions and rationality collide, emotions often kneel before rationality, weeping and wailing: At that moment, I was momentarily confused. However, Xingzi has also firmly stated: The most discerning choice you have ever made in your life is to fall for Ye Zhen, but a man with such discerning eyes is unlikely to be attracted to someone like you. I felt quite proud during the first part, but I couldn't hear the latter part because the wind was too strong.
