The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 57
The rain has not abated, and the rain on the eaves has merged into streams.

Water drops splashed on the bluestone slab at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

The exam is approaching, and the students on both floors are burning the lights at night.

The figures under the lights are clearly reflected in the windows.

Zhang Xiaofa parked his bicycle in the aisle and got down first to take off his raincoat.

He chose a clean place: "Come down!"

Lin Mi skipped onto the steps, "It's a nice rainy day!"

Her hair, skirt, and socks were all wet.

Thanks to the large raincoat, it covered her from the splashing rain.

Lin Mi looked up at his dormitory worriedly.

The door of the dormitory was closed, and the lights in the room were bright.

Has Lin Yitang left yet?Is Yu Fen in there?

Zhang Xiaofa went straight to the duty room of the housekeeper's aunt and knocked on the door lightly.

The fat aunt poked her head out of the window, as excited as if she saw a rescuer.

"Mr. Zhang, you are here! I was scared to death by a man who broke into the girls' dormitory with a gun, and he is still upstairs."

take a gun?

Zhang Xiaofa was deeply puzzled:
Lin Yitang came to school to see his cousin, as for carrying a pistol?
He turned around and pulled Lin Mi over and asked softly:

"Could it be your cousin that the man with the gun Auntie said?"

She lowered her eyes, fiddled with her braids with her hands, and was silent for a while before answering.

"My cousin joined my dad's army after graduating from middle school. He has always had a gun."

The elegant and cold Lin Yitang turned out to be a soldier.

His demeanor and appearance are not at all the same.

Bullets in troubled times have no eyes, as he had witnessed when he jumped into the lake in Houhai to flee for his life.

In just a few short encounters, Lin Yitang's attitude towards him was far from friendly.

They are not young people of the same age, and their outlook on life, world outlook and values ​​are also very different.

But one thing in common is ironclad:
Both are single-mindedly in love with the same girl.

Either side wants to win.

Where there is a battle for victory, there is a duel.

Are there few examples of men drawing swords and guns for love?

The Russian poet Pushkin, who was dueling with his love rival, was pierced by the opponent's bullet, and then died.

Zhang Xiaofa hesitated for a moment: Will Lin Yitang make trouble tonight like last time?
I can't afford to offend this person!

But he thought about it:
It should be the other party's fault!
Forcibly breaking into the girls' dormitory is a violation of school regulations, not to mention carrying a gun.

If the school called the police, things would get worse.

He no longer hesitated, this is school!
"Auntie, please take care of her. I'm going upstairs."

Lin Mi grabbed his hand and refused to let go:

"I want to be with you too."

"Stay well inside, see you later."

He turned around and pushed her into the aunt's room.

Lin Mi watched him close the door.

Following the class dormitory number, he quickly found that room.

After knocking hard twice, the door opened.

Standing at the door, Yu Fen was a little surprised to see him coming.

"Mr. Zhang, are you here to check our homework?"

He shook his head.

There was no sign of Lin Yitang in the house.

However, there are signs that the other party has indeed come.

On the bed by the window, the quilt was folded squarely.

The books and papers on Lin Mi's desk were arranged very pleasing to the eye.

He decided to ask the situation politely first.

"Has anyone from outside the house been in the house?"

"In the afternoon, only our classmates from the rooms next door came to play for a while."

Zhang Xiaofa will not doubt his students easily.

But the dormitory manager didn't see Lin Yitang going downstairs, which means he didn't leave.

He had no choice but to explain:
"I heard that a boy went upstairs with a gun in the afternoon. That's why I came here."

Seeing this, Yu Fen dared not keep the secret for her roommate.

"You mean Lin Mi's cousin? I really only met him outside."

Zhang Xiaofa checked carefully in the room, not letting go of the cabinet or under the bed.

Yu Fen stood curiously:

She came back from the cafeteria to buy small pasta for dinner, but there was no one in the room.

His eyes fell on the window sill.

A small clay pot filled with water bamboo fell to the ground, and a lot of water spilled out.

He looked at her, pointed to the small clay pot and asked:

"Did you move this little bamboo?"

"Oh, I didn't notice that its position changed when I closed the window in the rain."

He opened the window a little and looked downstairs.

Near the window was a big elm, and a quick man could jump over it and grab the branches and slide down the trunk to the lawn.

Zhang Xiaofa suddenly realized: Lin Yitang might have jumped out of the window and left.

He closed the window tightly and told Yu Fen:

"Be careful, if there are bad guys, come find me!"

Auntie slept soundly in the rocking chair.

Lin Mi clutched the window lattice and looked out anxiously.

Seeing him going downstairs alone, she hurriedly asked:
"Where is my cousin?"

She mainly wanted to confirm whether her cousin was still upstairs, for fear of affecting her roommate's study.

But boys in love sometimes become inexplicably sensitive, not to mention the extraordinary period when the woman has a marriage contract with others.

Zhang Xiaofa looked at her, with a forced smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Don't worry, he's already gone back."

I can't help feeling sad:

She said she didn't like it, but she actually cared about Lin Yitang a lot.

I really want to find a place to calm down right now.

Nothing can calm him down.

I am afraid that I will sleepless all night until dawn in this autumn rain.

He couldn't show his inner loss in front of her, so he pretended to wave his hand easily:

"Mi'er, I'm going back first, and if that person comes back in the future, just go to the office or the dormitory to find me."

He rode on the bicycle, put on the raincoat, and only kept a pair of eyes looking ahead.

"Go to bed early and don't stay up late."

A lonely figure. . .

She watched him go away, until the person and the car disappeared in the distance, and then reluctantly went upstairs.

Seeing her push the door open, Yu Fen told her everything that happened just now.

Lin Mi saw that his quilt and desk had been tidied carefully by his cousin.

She casually opened the top book, and a neatly folded letter unexpectedly fell out of it.

"Mimi, forgive me for entering the dormitory to look for you in disregard of school discipline.

In the afternoon, I received an urgent telegram from my hometown, informing my grandmother that she had suddenly fallen ill.

After deliberating for a long time, I decided to tell you the news.

Came here twice in the afternoon.At first, the housekeeper aunt refused to let me go upstairs.

Reluctantly, I had no choice but to go back and change into my military uniform, and then I was able to enter after showing my ID.

I waited for you for three hours and didn't leave until the rain became heavier.Come back tomorrow afternoon.

I temporarily bought two tickets to Tianjin early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

If you are willing to visit my hometown with me, remember to clean up your things and go home with me. "

Unexpectedly, in just a few years after leaving my hometown, my grandmother, who has always been in good health, is also getting old.

When she was a child, she was closest to her grandmother.

Grandma told stories about folk mice marrying daughters, Princess Iron Fan, and foxes in Pu Songling's works.

Going north with her father, she came to a new environment and met new friends.

Over the years, I have learned many new things that are not available in my hometown, and I have become estranged from my close grandma.

Lin Mi held the letter, his fingers trembling constantly.

When I finished reading it, I was in tears.

The teardrops continued to wet the letter paper.

　Family love often pokes tears
