Chapter 545: Human-Dog, Handsome Face
Chapter 545: Human-Dog, Handsome Face
After being kicked out of the infirmary by Mu Chenye for medical trouble, Qin Lingzheng stood at the door for a while in melancholy, lamenting the indifference of human hearts and the fickleness of the world.
It was not until he felt a little dizzy from the scorching sun above his head that he sighed unwillingly, and walked away slowly with a heavy heart.
He came back late from patrolling the border today, and it was already past lunch time.
After I came out of the infirmary after having my wounds stitched, it was time for afternoon training.
In addition, he had been in a bad mood and felt restless in recent days. He felt that he was suffering from depression, so he simply did not go to the cafeteria.
A strong and healthy young man will not die from skipping a meal.
It’s not like when I was in junior high school, my eyes would glow green with hunger if I didn’t eat for half an hour.
For him now, eating less of a meal occasionally can make him more energetic.
After making up his mind, Qin Lingzheng strode towards the training ground with his head held high.
But after taking only two steps, my stomach started to growl.
Qin Lingzheng's face froze, and the heroic and high-spirited posture he had just put up was immediately dashed like a bucket of cold water.
Hungry……
If people don’t eat, they will be hungry.
Qin Lingzheng hung his head and looked listless for a while.
The next second, he covered his empty stomach and straightened his back quickly.
He thought tenaciously.
"If I can't even endure hunger for a meal, how can I achieve success, stand out, and impress everyone?!"
"This is a test from God. If you want to achieve great things, you must first go hungry and suffer!"
"…I forgot what the original sentence said. I packed everything up and gave it back to the teacher after the exam. I haven't read a serious cultural textbook in five years! Don't expect too much from me."
"——But I don't think these are hard times. I have to regard them as a test of my will."
"I am a cold-blooded man. I have no feelings and will not be tempted by any benefits or traps."
"...If Bai Yuan knew that I was starving here, would she feel a bit sorry for me?"
"I remember when I was in middle school, she was worried that I would get hungry, so she would always prepare various snacks in the car..."
"Milk, ham, small cakes, small bread, sandwiches... (slurp) What did the cafeteria make for lunch today?"
"!!!"
"Qin Lingzheng, ah Qin Lingzheng! How can your will be so weak! Are you still a qualified soldier who protects the peace of the border?!"
"Wow... She has never made me hungry before. The hungrier I am, the more I miss her. The more I miss her, the hungrier I am..."
The feeling of missing Bai Yuan reached its peak at this moment.
Thinking of this, Qin Lingzheng looked around furtively, and seeing that there was no one around, he reached into his pocket and took out the photo that he had always carried with him.
The photos have not been packaged and have aged due to long-term exposure to air.
The area around the circle was yellow and the four corners were curled, just like the books that had been chewed by a dog when he was in junior high school. It was obvious that they were irreversible damage caused by holding them in his hands for a long time to read and play with them.
Qin Lingzheng unfolded the folded photo quietly like a thief, but because the light above his head was too strong, the reflection of the photo made a white light appear in front of his eyes.
So I took a few quick steps and came to the old tree next to the green belt. I leaned against the trunk and looked at it with mixed feelings in the shadow cast by the green tree.
The photo was taken before I went to military school, after I had passed the entrance test for a private high school in Haikao.
Looking at the two childish faces and the intimate atmosphere, Qin Lingzheng sighed silently in his heart that these were the years of youth that could never be returned.
"How wonderful it was back then! When I was young, I didn't think about anything. I could devote 100% of my attention to one thing. My purpose was pure and my heart was burning. Unfortunately, things didn't go as I wished. Who could have thought that everything was just a dream and ended so suddenly?"
"——I may never have such a profound experience that will be remembered for the rest of my life."
He stroked the edge of the photo with his thumb, unconsciously rubbing the yellowed wrinkles, and smoothing out the creases that had already revealed white edges with his fingertips.
My eyes fell on the face in the middle of the photo, which was distorted and deformed due to being torn and pieced together again, and as unrecognizable as the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. I blamed myself with great heartache for being so impulsive at that time.
Why not smash something else? Why tear up photos to vent your emotions?
How cool he was when he was tearing the pieces, and how embarrassed he looked when he was bending over with his butt sticking up, picking them up from the ground, and then working hard to piece them together again!
"The most important thing is that I only brought this one photo with me when I came here!!!"
"This is also the only photo I have of her and me alone, and I had to go through a lot of trouble to get this..."
Qin Lingzheng bent his fingers and lightly traced the edge of the figure, but he didn't dare to touch too hard, for fear that in this horrible weather he would accidentally get the image in the photo stuck to his fingertips.
"Alas, I regret once again why I smashed the photo frame. As expected, one must leave a way out for oneself."
I touched it twice and stopped in time. It was already covered with fingerprints. If I touched it again, it would be completely damaged!
Qin Lingzheng held the photo and moved closer, trying to identify the childish face on it with a focused expression.
"This is a photo from five years ago. She looked really young then. To be honest, I can no longer remember what she looked like. Even her voice is starting to become unclear."
"Memories will fade, and they will also be embellished by imagination. In this case, is she still the same person in my memory?"
"I didn't think about these nonsense before, but now I have too much free time to think about these bullshit philosophies!"
"...But, after not seeing her for five years, she must have changed a lot now. Even if she was in front of me now, I might not be able to recognize her at first sight."
"Ah, I still regret it. If I had known I would have put on a brave face and begged for a look before leaving on the day I returned..."
The more Qin Lingzheng looked at the photos, the more complicated his mood became. He sighed continuously, and his eyes showed emotions of regret, regret, sadness, and loss from time to time.
Because he was too focused on the photo and the memories of the person, he lost his most basic vigilance and didn't even notice the figure sneaking up behind him.
Finally, he had enough of reminiscing about his lost youth and the figure running at dusk. With mixed feelings, he carefully folded the photo along the crease and prepared to put it back into his pocket.
At this moment, a foot suddenly kicked him in the butt without any warning. Caught off guard, Qin Lingzheng staggered a few steps and was almost kicked to death.
"Okay, Qin Gou! You're hiding here and being lazy again, right?! I caught you red-handed! Let's see what you have to say this time!!!"
Steadying himself, Qin Lingzheng's eyes flashed with a gloomy look. After hearing the bright female voice, he turned his head viciously, staring at the female voice in military uniform behind him with an expression like a vicious dog ready to bite someone in the next second, and cursed without mercy:
"Fuck, you are having a psychotic attack, can you please stop running around? I can do whatever I want, it has nothing to do with you, are you my father or mother? You are so nosy! I think you should not be a military doctor, you should be a patrol soldier! You ghost, I am so unlucky to be assigned to the same district with you!..."
Facing Qin Lingzheng's barking, Mu Yao not only showed no fear, but stood there with his hands on his hips, facing the challenge and withstanding the pressure, as if he was ready to exchange insults with him for 300 rounds, and he delivered a whirlwind of attacks on the spot:
"Once a mother, always a mother. A stepmother is also a mother! You son refuses to acknowledge his mother. You are doing the opposite of the right path. You are unfilial and unkind!!! Do you still have moral principles in your eyes?!"
"You are my stepmother, and you are not afraid of shortening your life. You can play ethical jokes for 800 years without getting tired of it. You want to take this shit into the grave?"
"I'm very lucky. Not to mention being your stepmother, I'm more than qualified to be your aunt! I heard that you were almost stabbed to death again? If you don't have the ability, don't get involved! It's still unclear who will die first between us!"
Mu Yao cursed, but when she looked down, she saw Qin Lingzheng's waist and abdomen, which he subconsciously protected. She saw the dried blood stains on them, frowned, and said seriously:
"I'm asking you, are you harassing my master again?"
When Qin Lingzheng got angry, he always used a broadsword to attack people indiscriminately: "Your master is just a mediocre doctor!"
He can’t make the Forgetfulness Pill! He can’t make the Love Potion either! What kind of genius doctor is this!!!
Hearing Qin Lingzheng scolding his master, Mu Yao instantly flew into a rage:
"Believe it or not, I asked him to make a mute potion for you!!!"
The ancestor of the Mu family was a censor, a position that was specifically responsible for scolding the emperor in the past. Mu Yao successfully inherited the family talent, and he was eloquent. Relying on his education, he would quote scriptures when scolding people. He immediately started an argument with Qin Lingzheng, and the argument became more and more courageous.
Although I'm used to the two of them fighting and tense as soon as they meet, and they want to knock each other's heads off, but now I see that the two of them are getting more and more intense, as if they are going to roll up their sleeves and fight to the death in the next second, and I can't tell whether it is true or not.
The medical soldier who came with Mu Yao looked left and right, and finally chose to grab the corner of Mu Yao's clothes to stop her from rushing forward and fighting with Qin Lingzheng.
"Mu Yao, calm down! Captain Qin, you should also say less. If you have anything to say, why don't you sit down and talk it out..."
Before Qin Lingzheng could change his target, Mu Yao grabbed the corner of her clothes, stretched out her hand and pushed her, and stood on the same front with Qin Lingzheng:
"This is a personal grudge between us, don't get involved!"
"It's none of your business if we have a fight!"
Medic: ...
You two should be beaten to death!!!
No matter who dies, it is a relief for the people!!!
People who often quarrel know that at the beginning, they are in high spirits; at the second, they are weaker, and at the third, they are exhausted.
It was at the beginning when I was in high spirits that I could curse most freely.
Once you are interrupted in the middle of something, you won't be able to pick it up again when you want to.
Therefore, the medic's dissuasion cannot be said to be useless. At least it interrupted the spell, giving both of them a chance to take a break.
Mu Yao had a full meal at noon and was now full of energy, unlike Qin Lingzheng who was still hungry and hanging on by one breath.
She straightened her mind and words, and was about to start over, when she suddenly caught sight of the photo tightly held in Qin Lingzheng's hand, and raised her eyebrows subtly:
"Are you here to poop?"
"I'm here to pull you back!" Qin Lingzheng angrily stuffed the photo, which had been crumpled into a tattered state, into his pocket, and took out a middle finger from it.
Medic: ...You guys are elementary school students? ! ! !
As Qin Lingzheng's bad friend, true enemy, mortal enemy and lifelong rival since childhood, Mu Yao knew Qin Lingzheng very well. She guessed what he was doing hiding under the tree in one second. She looked at him from head to toe with a playful expression, and finally shook her head regretfully:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity ~ Some people can only hide in a dark corner like a loser, rotting and stinking, unlike me..."
A gleam of triumph flashed in her eyes, and she laughed loudly:
"I will be able to go home in two days! Some people can't envy me~ How about this, as long as you respectfully call me "stepmother" today, I will take you to attend Sister Yuan's birthday party!"
She is the same age as Bai Yuan. After Bai Yuan’s birthday, it will be her turn in two weeks! It is also a coming-of-age ceremony, her eighteenth birthday! Naturally, she has to go back to Beijing.
Hearing this, Qin Lingzheng's eyes flickered, and the energy he had just raised dissipated. He no longer had the mood to continue arguing with Mu Yao. The gloom once again enveloped his heart, and he just coldly said in a seemingly nonchalant tone:
"I'm not going back."
I hypnotized myself in my heart:
"I am a lone wolf. I can either lick my wounds alone in a corner, or become the new wolf king and fight my way out. I will not easily accept charity from others..."
Thinking of this, he raised his proud head stubbornly again and looked into the distance with disdain.
"You can't bow your head, or your crown will fall off. You can't shed tears, or the bad guys will laugh!"
"I am cold and resolute, I have no emotions!"
“…Damn, the sun is so bright today!!! Why isn’t there a single cloud?!…Huh???”
As the roar of low-flying engines passed by, Mu Yao looked up at the three planes flying overhead and squinted his eyes to make out the logos on them.
"It's a plane transporting supplies. We'll be busy this afternoon! Qin Gou, get to work!"
"Do I need you to teach me?" Qin Lingzheng glanced at Mu Yao coldly, then turned and walked towards the dormitory building, leaving them with a lone wolf-like back view. "You go first, I'll go back and change my clothes."
Clothes stained with blood cannot be washed away if they are not washed.
"Alas, I remember that Bai Yuan has mysophobia, and I always loved cleanliness. In the past... I can't think about it anymore. Don't let the memories continue to corrode my iron will!"
Although Mu Yao and Qin Lingzheng always quarreled when they met, they had the same consensus and awareness of taking the initiative to cease fighting when it came to serious matters. They did not pursue the victory, but tidied their appearance and prepared to go to the playground with the medical soldiers beside them to wait on call.
"Let's go too-??? What are you looking at?"
Turning around, he saw his sister staring at Qin Lingzheng's departing back, holding her chin with her hands, looking infatuated:
"Ahhh, so handsome~"
Mu Yao was shocked: "Him? You? Are you crazy???"
The little sister frowned and said with disdain:
"Who said you were a person? I was talking about the face!!!"
Human-dog, handsome face!
No contradiction!
