Chapter 7 Strange Man

Chapter 7 Strange Man
In his sleep, Zhou Jing saw the smiling face that had haunted him for more than ten years. Isn't it beautiful?Maybe not as good as the smiling beauty sitting next to him just now, but in Zhou Jing's heart, this is the purest and favorite smile.

She is a classmate of Zhou Jing and Yang Xiaoxiao in junior high school. I don't know when Zhou Jing suddenly had a feeling for this girl. a different feeling.

In the six years of junior high school and high school, he and she were fortunately in the same class all the time. In the eyes of many outsiders, including Yang Xiaoxiao, he and her were already a proper couple.

When she was eating with him, she could put the food she didn't eat into his lunch box without thinking, and he was always used to clearing up the leftover food for her.

The two of them seemed to have gotten used to such a presence in each other's lives over the years.

Until one day in her junior year, she called him and happily told him that she had a boyfriend.When he heard her tell how good her boyfriend was, what, how, blah blah, his heart was surprisingly calm.

Because what she didn't know was that his mother had just died of illness a week ago.His peace at this moment is only because his tears have dried up at the moment he watched his mother's body being pushed into the cremation furnace.

It was because of her that he was admitted to the same city, but the distance was no match for a heart that wanted to let go.It turned out that in her heart for so many years, he was just the best companion, and in her exact words, he was the best best friend.

So he silently deleted all her contact information and burned all her photos with him.

Three days later, he walked to the recruiting office in the school. At that moment, he felt that he should take the initiative to leave her.

The day before leaving for the army, Yang Xiaoxiao found Zhou Jing and asked him why he made such a choice.

Zhou Jing replied with a faint smile, what she said to him after the college entrance examination, why not give you and myself another chance.

That's right, she found her own opportunity, and Zhou Jing also decided to look for the opportunity that was obscured by his innocence. He had a dream of joining the army when he was young, and now he can realize it.

As for her, I wish her happiness.

The screen switched, and Zhou Jing was facing a fair-looking and handsome young man in military uniform, and the boy on the opposite side stood at attention and saluted.

"Report monitor, my name is Zhang Junxian, I am 18 years old, and I am from Shiyan, Hubei Province."

Zhou Jing woke up suddenly from his sleep, his right hand tightly pressed his thumping left chest, panting heavily.

Pani was startled awake by the movement beside him, and when he opened the blindfold, he saw the pale and bewildered eyes of the man next to him.

Zhou Jing took a deep breath, turned his head to show Pani an apologetic smile, picked up the face towel next to him to wipe off the sweat oozing from his forehead, and slowly began to calm down his mood.

Zhou Jing began to look at the surrounding environment, ignoring the Korean beauty beside him who was looking at him. It seemed that there were not many business class passengers on this flight, and most of the seats were empty.

The only thing that interested Zhou Jing was a man who looked about 60 years old. He and himself were only separated by an aisle, so they could be regarded as sitting side by side in the same row.

Meticulous hairstyle, with a little bit of gray, looks like dyed black hair. He looked at Zhou Jing with peaceful eyes, like a kind elder, but his temperament made Zhou Jing seem to see the leader of his own company. look.

However, the most important thing is that, no matter how you look at it, this man still has a smell that Zhou Jing feels very familiar with.

Zhou Jing stood up, walked to the aisle and moved his body a little bit. His waist and legs felt a little numb from the sleeping position.

Since the beautiful woman next to him had no intention of talking to him, Zhou Jing wouldn't say that he forced her to, so what kind of person is she.

Sitting bored, why not get up and move around, take out your own double-layer glass by the way, and ask the stewardess to add some hot water.

The airport cannot bring liquids through the security check, so Zhou Jing put tea in an empty cup and heated the water after the plane took off. Fortunately, this is a domestic crew, and the hot water can still be filled.

"Young man, you have been a soldier." The old man looked at Zhou Jing and said indifferently, his accent sounded like Mandarin with a Modu accent.

"Yes, Uncle, how did you know that?" Zhou Jing looked at the old man in surprise, and asked himself that many habits had gradually faded after he was discharged from the army.

"It's the way you wear a hat. Although it's not a training hat, the way you wear your peaked cap looks like a veteran's way of wearing it. The brim of the cap is level with the eyebrows, but most of the back of the head is exposed at the back. My kid also wears it like this in the army. , It is said that all veterans now wear hats like this." The old man replied with a faint smile.

Zhou Jing took off his hat, scratched his head and said:

"Yes, I joined the army in 03, the Red Army Corps of the 1st Division of the Army Group A of the Southeast Military Region."

"Yo, Miao Honggen is upright."

"Grandpa, you have also been a soldier, I have such a feeling."

"Well, you can tell, haha, I joined the army in 72 and returned home in 87. I have been a soldier for 15 years. I belong to the Long Live Army." The old man still said with a faint smile.

"Long Live Army, great, good morning, Chief." Zhou Jing couldn't help admiring, his old army was naturally outstanding and made great military exploits, but in terms of fame, it really couldn't compare to the name of the Long Live Army.

"Don't, I can't bear the title of chief. After so many years, let's get to know each other. My name is Zheng Shuguang, and you can call me Lao Zheng. What do you call me, young man?" People who have been soldiers are easy to draw close to. Regardless of the distance between them, even if they are not in the same unit, it is said that the PLA is one family in the world.

"My name is Zhou Jing, you can call me Xiao Zhou, old chief." Zhou Jing didn't dare to call Zheng Shuguang casually.

"I told you not to call the chief, I was just a veteran." Zheng Shuguang looked at Zhou Jing dumbfounded and said, "If you want to call the chief again, I will be angry. Call me Lao Zheng."

Since Zheng Shuguang made such a request, Zhou Jing had no choice but to call him Lao Zheng unceremoniously.It was a joy when the two chatted about the life in the army before.Although almost 20 years have passed between serving in the service, some traditions will not change, and many interesting things have the same inheritance.

Since Pani was woken up by Zhou Jing, he has been silently watching this strange man in his seat.

It seems that he had a nightmare just now. The glass he took out should be made of Chinese green tea.

Zhou Jing's teacup was placed on the cabinet between the two seats, and Pani looked curiously at the tea leaves in the cup that stood up after being soaked in hot water.

I wonder if this tea is good or not, I have never had it before.

Looking up at Zhou Jing in the aisle, he is really a strange man, he doesn't look very old, he doesn't drink coffee and drinks, and he likes chatting with the elderly so much.

I was still standing and chatting, but now I squatted down next to the old man on the seat and whispered something, sometimes I kept gesticulating with my hands, and from time to time, the two deliberately suppressed their laughter.

Seeing that the corners of Pani's mouth curved upwards in a small arc, hum, is it more interesting to chat with an old man than chatting with a beautiful woman like me?

I'm the Tiffany of Girls' Generation.She completely forgot who ended the conversation with Zhou Jing before.
