Chapter 366 Commander Zhou (Part 2)
"By the way, why are you..." Jiang Hui looked at Zhou Xiuwen and suddenly stopped talking.
Jiang Hui rarely looks at people directly up and down. Even acquaintances say this, and his eyes tend to stay upward from the shoulders.
Only after talking and contacting him for a long time, she gradually gained an overall impression and sense of this person.
The other party didn’t realize it when he came in. Now that she was sitting closer, she realized that Zhou Xiuwen was wearing a plain white military uniform today. The dark lines on the collar and sleeves and the neat tassels on both shoulders looked very solemn. There is even a sense of solemnity.
Perhaps because Jiang Hui's gaze was too obvious, Zhou Xiuwen looked back at himself inexplicably, thinking that there was something rude about his clothes, which made Jiang Hui look at him so closely.
"You went to see them off today." Jiang Hui said suddenly.
Zhou Xiuwen was stunned for a moment before realizing the surprise in her words, and subconsciously said: "How did you know..."
The girl whispered: "I saw it on the news this morning "
In fact, the report did not make it so clear. It only said that the soldiers who died in this battle would be buried collectively at 11 a.m., and their bodies would be escorted away by a special plane. The news is very brief, with no extra seconds. It only mentions the participant, such-and-such army, and so on at the end.
Zhou Xiuwen has not seen the dragon head and tail in the past two days, which is not surprising, but the other party has not even shown a face today, and has not sent any communication information. And when he showed up, he was wearing a military uniform like this, so I guess he must have gone to deliver it.
Actually, when she saw the news this morning, she wanted to ask about Xiuwen's situation next week. However, the news that "the twenty-seven lanes near the airport have been blocked and traffic control" came out immediately made her regain her senses.
She asked Zhou Xiuwen to confirm... Even if it was confirmed that those sergeants were going to be buried today, what would happen? She wanted to give him a ride, but it was not an ordinary funeral occasion where she could just go whenever she wanted.
That was the awarding ceremony for the dead, and it was the last elegy written by the empire for these heroes who sacrificed their lives heroically. How could she go if she wasn't a relative? Even Jiang Hui still doesn't know what the names of the sergeants who once protected them are called?
What if Zhou Xiuwen can help her - is it to ask the other party to comfort her when she is also sad about this? It makes no sense to help her find convenience and go to the scene to go through the process... Everyone is dead and it means nothing.
Jiang Hui was very restless, so he had to force himself to concentrate on assembling the mecha, thinking of distracting himself.
Unfortunately, the effect didn't seem to be very good, and she failed to do both.
So when Jiang Hui saw Zhou Xiuwen's clothes, she couldn't help but ask - she originally wanted to keep silent about it.
Zhou Xiuwen didn't seem to expect to hear such an answer. He forced a wry smile on his lips and nodded: "Yes."
"... Just stop laughing." Jiang Hui turned his head. The other party probably didn't know how unnatural the expression on his face was. Really, why did he laugh when he felt so bitter in his heart? The more he laughed, the more bitter he became.
"Why are you acting like Huan Xian now? You have to make yourself uncomfortable, and you insist on putting on a mask when you are unhappy. There is no one here who you need to pretend to face. An'an, I won't be fooled by that bit of you. His expression and emotion were frightening. "Where is the frank Zhou Xiuwen she met for the first time?
Jiang Hui clearly remembers that the other party seemed to be straight-faced and a little timid at the beginning. He could express it calmly when he encountered something that he couldn't do or bear. Why did his appearance suddenly change in just a few months? Or...is this the other person's true face?
After being seen through by Jiang Hui again and again, Zhou Xiuwen was a little stunned. Immediately, as if some kind of weight had been lifted, his straight body and shoulders suddenly relaxed, and the whole body tilted, so that the shoulders and back were pressed against The back of the chair.
The young man sighed, as if he was brewing emotions or just adjusting his mood. After a long time, he said: "A lot of things have really happened recently." Yes, who says it isn't? She still hasn't recovered yet. Jiang Hui was like this, and he was even more presumptuous about Zhou Xiuwen, who was facing a more complicated situation.
Jiang Hui didn't insist on listening to the other party's complaints and heart-to-heart talk, but she felt that he seemed to be particularly tired today - even though the other party looked normal when he came to her.
But there are still clues. He was probably a little sad. He seemed to be unable to maintain his usual gentle and optimistic attitude. His whole person looked like a tight string and felt uncomfortable. Jiang Hui thought that the other party probably needed a rest instead of forcing himself to talk.
A silence fell between the two of them. It took an unknown amount of time before Zhou Xiuwen's voice sounded in the room again.
"Sorry, I haven't entertained you well even when I invited you to my home. I'm probably a very irresponsible host."
Jiang Hui shook his head: "That's worthy of the name. "Sorry, thank you and your family for temporarily hosting us uninvited guests. It may have caused a disturbance, but we are only grateful..."
As soon as she changed her voice, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes and she said: "It doesn't matter if we are in a hurry this time. We can start from next time. Next time we come, classmate Zhou will treat us well."
Zhou Xiuwen's eyebrows also relaxed a lot, and his whole person felt a little lighter.
"By the way, I actually have one more thing to do when I come here..." It was almost time. Zhou Xiuwen was about to turn on his computer to check the time, when two footsteps came from the door.
"Are you not ready yet? Xiuwen, didn't you tell us to wait downstairs early? Why are you two late?" The young man's lively and energetic voice suddenly broke through the room. It seems a bit dull.
After hearing this, Hillman became more calm. Hillman turned quickly and entered the door. After a while, the other party slowly appeared outside the half-closed door. It was Huan Xian who had not seen anyone for two days. .
It turned out that Zhou Xiuwen had notified Huan Xian and Hillman before coming to find Jiang Wei.
As a result, he had been talking in the room for a long time, and he had forgotten about the other two people he had notified before, so he provoked them to come to him personally.
Jiang Hui:? ? ? Can you forget this? !
She looked at the person opposite with some words, and the depression and anxiety on the other person's face had quietly disappeared, replaced by a certain shyness of realizing that she had made a mistake.
Receiving Jiang Hui's questioning look, Zhou Xiuwen touched his nose and said, "Actually, it's nothing. My father said he wants to invite you to dinner tonight. Are you going?"
Zhou Xiuwen's father is also the owner of this mansion. He has never seen him since Jiang Hui came to the Zhou family.
