"Xiaoping! Come out quickly!" He Xiaoping was knitting a sweater for Wang Zhong in the room when she heard Wang Zhong calling her from outside the door. Judging from his tone, he seemed a little anxious.

He Xiaoping could only put down the sweater she had just started knitting, walked to the door and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wang Zhong saw that He Xiaoping was not wearing much, so he quickly said, "Go back and dress more tightly, wrap up your military coat, let's go out and take you to a good place."

Although He Xiaoping was confused, she still listened to Wang Zhong's words and put on her coat, hat, gloves, and scarf. "Where are we going this late at night?"

"Keep it secret for now. You'll know when you get there!" Wang Zhong pushed the bicycle out the door. He Xiaoping glanced at him sideways, but her eyes were full of expectation and happiness, without any accusation.

Sitting sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, his hands naturally hugged Wang Zhong's waist. Wang Zhong smiled and shouted, "Sit tight! Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bicycle had already jumped out.

Perhaps because it was New Year's Eve, even though it had been dark for a while, the streets and alleys of Yanjing City were still shrouded in joy and laughter, and firecrackers could be heard from time to time in the streets and alleys.

Whenever there are children holding incense and a pocket full of firecrackers, walking in the streets and alleys with a pace that they don't recognize their relatives, there must be a group of little tails following behind them.

After riding for about ten minutes, we arrived at the outskirts of Xicheng City. As soon as Wang Zhong parked his bicycle, a group of children with flashlights gathered around them. They were young and old, both boys and girls. There were twenty or thirty children in total.

"Uncle, why are you here!" The leader was a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

"Uncle has gone to pick up auntie!" Wang Zhong grabbed two packs of candies from his pocket and handed out a few to each of them. A smile immediately appeared on the children's faces.

"Okay, okay! According to what uncle told you during the day, we are all ready!" Wang Zhong clapped his hands, and a group of boys and girls immediately greeted and ran away, and all of them disappeared.

He Xiaoping stood blankly behind Wang Zhong, somewhat confused.

Wang Zhong turned to smile at her, "Watch it, don't blink!"

Then he raised his hand to make a trumpet shape in front of his mouth and shouted forward, "Countdown! Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, let go!"

Following Wang Zhong's shout, a few seconds later, fireworks like meteors rose into the sky with tail flames and exploded in the night sky. Dozens of fireworks exploded at the same time, lighting up most of the night sky.

He Xiaoping stared blankly at the bright fireworks in mid-air, hearing the roar of fireworks exploding, and her mind went blank.

······

In a female dormitory building of Yan University, Xiao Suizi was leaning on the bedside, holding a magazine in her hand. As she read it, her heartstrings were touched by the plot in the book. She couldn't help crying, sniffing and letting out a burst of laughter.

Sobs.

"Suizi, what's wrong with you?" Hearing this, the roommate asked curiously and concerned about Xiao Suizi's situation.

"I'm fine!" Xiao Suizi said quickly, "This story is so well written that I couldn't help but fall into it."

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Suizi just watched the part about the little girl, and was deeply attracted by the wonderful plot. She was also moved to tears by the unsung heroes in the book who sacrificed their lives without hesitation.

…The roommate came over curiously and took a look at the magazine in Xiao Suizi’s hand. It was nothing special, just one of the magazines that was always available in the dormitory.

"Qingping's "My Brother's Name is Shunli"!" Xiao Suizi answered truthfully.

""My Brother's Name is Shunli"?" the roommate asked doubtfully, "I remember it was a long-form anti-Japanese war military theme, right? It seems to be quite popular among boys, and the popularity is good. I heard our male classmates discuss it.

Several times, hey~ Suizi, since when did you like to watch this type of thing?"

Xiao Suizi said, "The author of this book is my former comrade in the art troupe. I didn't know he could write before, so I bought it out of curiosity and took a look. I didn't expect his writing to be so good and his characters to be so vivid.

The story is so touching.”

Even Xiao Suizi herself didn't notice that when she spoke, a faint smile appeared on her face involuntarily, with a bit of pride in her smile.

"Is this good? I'll look back and have a look..." The roommate was halfway through his words when he suddenly came to his senses.

"Comrade?" The roommate rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "A comrade who can write this kind of thing must be a man, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Suizi nodded, "He is indeed a gay man!"

The roommate bumped into Xiao Suizi and asked with a gossipy face, "Suizi, tell me about your comrade, a great writer! What's his name and how old is he?"

No matter what era it is, women's desire to gossip is firmly engraved in their bones.

There is nothing to hide, Xiao Suizi said directly, "His name is Liu Feng, he should be twenty-four this year. When he was in the art troupe, he has always been a model in the troupe, a pacesetter, and has been commended many times.

Later, during a flood-fighting and disaster-rescuing operation, my waist slipped and I could no longer dance. Because of my outstanding performance in the flood-fighting and disaster-rescuing work, I came to Yanjing to receive the commendation of a great man.

Later, when the war broke out, he followed the large troops to the battlefield and made great achievements, becoming a famous combat hero. I heard that after the leaders received his application for discharge, they talked to him several times and personally tried to persuade him to stay.

"

"What happened next?" The roommate's eyes were shining with stars, and he became more and more curious.

People of this era admire and respect this unknown hero.

Xiao Suizi said, "He still insists on choosing to retire!"

The roommate's eyes lit up and he speculated excitedly, "Did he also get admitted to college?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Suizi nodded and said, "The Medical University is right next door to us!"

"Medical University? What a good boy!" The roommate's face was full of shock. "You are such an amazing comrade!"

"Suiko!" his roommate praised him, "Recently, many boys in our literature department are reading his book! He is a model and a fighting hero, and he has such literary talent. Why haven't I heard you mention it?

Pass?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I just found out that this article was written by him." Xiao Suizi said.

Xiao Suizi is a bit of a literary youth, and she likes those poignant love stories that are so touching that people can't help but cry. The military anti-Japanese war stories like "My Brother's Name is Shunfeng" are only well-known and have never been read.

, so I never knew about Wang Zhong’s announcement.

…I only found out about it when I heard He Xiaoping mention it last time at Wang Zhong’s house.

"Suizi! There's a story here!" The roommate looked at Xiao Suizi with a teasing look.

Xiao Suizi's cheeks turned red quickly. "What are you talking about? They are all married!" Xiao Suizi didn't realize her abnormal behavior, but her roommate could see it clearly.

"Ah?" But because of this, the roommate was stunned for a moment. "Is he married?"

"We got married just after returning from the army last year." Xiao Suizi said, "His partner was also our comrade in the art troupe!"

"Such an outstanding comrade!" The roommate shook his head and looked at Xiao Suizi with a look of regret on his face, "What a pity."

"What's such a pity?" Xiao Suizi looked at her roommate in confusion.

"I thought you two could make it!" the roommate said regretfully.

"What are you talking about? We are just comrades-in-arms!" Xiao Suizi immediately explained without thinking, with a slightly anxious look on his face.

Seeing her like this, her roommate couldn't help but sigh and said nothing.

But suddenly thinking of He Xiaoping, Wang Zhong, and his experience in the art troupe, the smile on Xiao Suizi's face suddenly disappeared, and her heart sank.

Unknowingly, I remembered the past. I remembered that Wang Zhong was called a hooligan by Lin Dingding. As Lin Dingding's roommate, Xiao Suizi didn't say anything more considering that she was a girl, which led to Wang Zhong being sent to the logging company.

, was relegated to the deep mountains and old forests on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan.

If the war hadn't broken out later, Wang Zhong would have performed well in the war and made many military exploits...

Xiao Suizi didn't dare to think any more.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Suizi's expression, her roommate quickly asked with concern.

Xiao Suizi shook her head, indicating that she was fine, and said with some regret, "I'm fine, I remembered some things in the art troupe."

The roommate thought she was regretting that she was too slow to give up such a good man.

He walked up and sat down beside Xiao Suizi's bed, held her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Although he is very good, if you miss it, you will miss it. There will definitely be something better waiting for you in the future!"

Xiao Suizi was stunned by what she said, her pretty face turned red again, and she said in a confused voice, "I really don't have that interest in him! We are close comrades in arms, and his partner and I were in the same dormitory when we were in the art troupe!"

"Okay, okay, okay! I misunderstood!" Although her roommate said so, her tone, her expression, and her eyes told Xiao Suizi that she did not believe Xiao Suizi's answer at all.

Xiao Suizi didn't know how to explain it, she liked Chen Can obviously.

Thinking of Chen Can, Xiao Suizi inexplicably remembered every bit of their time in the art troupe. She remembered Chen Can's tall and straight figure when playing the trumpet, his handsome face, and how Chen Can was beaten by a car at the gate of the art troupe on the eve of the disbandment of the art troupe.

One of his front teeth was knocked out and he could no longer play the trumpet. He gave the gold necklace that his mother had given her and without any hesitation, he gave it to Chen Can to use as a base for a dental filling.

Then the memories of when she and He Xiaoping were in the study room years ago came to mind. Under her questioning, He Xiaoping told her that in order to make her feel at ease, Wang Zhong secretly bought the courtyard as an ancestral jade bracelet and used it to write

With the royalties I earned, I bought materials and used my free time to decorate bit by bit, transforming the yard that was originally a bit dilapidated due to age into what it is now.

...Comparing the two, Xiao Suizi suddenly felt a little awkward, even a little bit uncomfortable, and regretful.

Even Xiao Suizi didn't know why he suddenly had such an idea.

If you think about it carefully, apart from his handsome appearance, uninhibited personality, and being a good trumpet player, Chen Can doesn't seem to have any other advantages.

Xiao Suizi suddenly began to reflect on herself. Why was she so obsessed with Chen Can in the first place?

The relationship between myself and Chen Can doesn't seem to be the kind of vigorous and touching love story in which they are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other and forget about death.

Is it like Tang Xianzu said in "The Peony Pavilion's Inscription" that one doesn't know where the love comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper?

Xiao Suizi frowned and became confused.

This was the first time that she had any doubts about her love for Chen Can.

Wang Chong's family.

He Xiaoping, exhausted, rode the women's bicycle Wang Zhong bought for her back home.
