Waiting for a long time, Captain

Chapter 16 Too Early Lies
After chatting for a while, seeing that the whole afternoon was about to go to waste, she suddenly remembered that she still had business to do, so she hurriedly bid farewell to the two of them.

Not at home these days, Cattelan shows some signs of decay and withering, I don't know if it is the soil.She checked online and found out that there was a flower and bird market nearby, so she wanted to look for it.

As a result, I asked a circle to no avail.The bosses who sell flowers say that Cattleya is difficult to grow, and it is an aristocratic variety. There are hybrids in France, but foreigners feel that such a romantic flower is not suitable for spreading to foreign countries, so few people are willing to sell it.Hearing that she came here for Cattelan's soil, they all laughed and advised her to buy a plane ticket to France as soon as possible.

She wanted to cry, but she walked around the flower and bird market twice more unwillingly, and when it was completely dark, she still found nothing.Just when she was about to give up, she saw a store, and it seemed that Cattelan was placed inside, so she ran in excitedly.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I want to ask, does your family have Cattleya's soil breeding?"

The proprietress didn't seem to have expected that there would be guests at such a late hour. She was taken aback, then patted her chest and smiled: "Little girl, you're going to scare me to death. Wait a minute, I still have a guest here."

"Okay, okay." She agreed embarrassingly, watching the proprietress walk out of the counter and walked to the small living room next to her.

"The beauty of Jianhu is not in the store now, but I still have some at home, why don't you come and get them tomorrow." The proprietress came out again and said to her, "The same is true for you. Come get it."

"it is good."

Some wonder who would be looking for breeding at such a late hour like her, and both Cattelan and Jianhuzhimei are famous products.There was a hollowed-out wooden display table in the small living room. She couldn't help but take a look at it. The people inside seemed to have sensed it and looked back.

The carvings are complicated, and the backlight should make it impossible to see people's faces clearly.But she was suddenly sure it was him.

Cen slowly put the teacup on the table today, and said with a light smile, "Gu Zeng, come in for tea."

The proprietress raised her eyebrows: "Do you know each other?" Then she walked outside in a hurry, "It's better this way, look at the store for me." When she walked past Gu Zeng, she stopped for a while, looked at her seriously, and still smiled, "Little girl, the reception is not good."

"No, it's okay." When she walked in, she found that the small living room was unique. The decoration was very elaborate and unique. There were flower halls in the front and back, and there were many famous flowers. The colors were also carefully matched. It seemed that a lot of thought was put into it.

Cen explained today: "The lady just now is my aunt, she is very good at growing flowers, and I learned many skills from her." He motioned her to sit down, took a blue and white porcelain cup and poured tea for her, "Especially Cattelan, you can ask her a little bit more."

"it is good."

The tea was very fragrant, she took a sip, and suddenly remembered something: "Aren't you going to take a night flight today?"

This question is not easy to answer. When Lu Jin talked to him for a while while checking the wing checklist, he probably only listened to a third of it, maybe not even a third.The reason is also very simple. Looking at the data displayed on the steering wheel instrument, his eyes darken unconsciously.For a moment, the eyes were dark.Probably too tired, so I adjusted the flight rationally.

After thinking for a while, he shirked all this to Lu Jin: "He has a very busy schedule, I have to make do with him, and I will make adjustments from time to time." He smiled slightly, looking very harmless.

Is that right?

After a while, the proprietress came back and kindly invited Gu Zeng to have dinner with him, but Cen today politely refused.On the way back, he explained the reason: "My aunt likes to cook for people to eat, but she has never been very good at cooking, maybe because no one has ever corrected her, but I don't want you to be abused by her, at least not yet. .”

"Is it that bad?" She couldn't help laughing, "You cook very well, and you can learn from her."

He helplessly spread his hands: "There are too few opportunities, and I don't want to accept such a hot-tempered apprentice."

"You...Ah Cen, I really didn't realize that sometimes you speak quite poisonously."

"Really?" He leaned over to fasten her seat belt, staring at her brightly, "Can't you hear that I'm hinting at you?"

"Ok?"

His fingers slowly touched her face: "Go home for dinner? I'll teach you how to cook."

Gu Zeng was stunned, trying to understand the relationship for a while, and nodded in cooperation with him: "The master values ​​the apprentice, and the apprentice will definitely learn to cook hard, so as not to disappoint the master."

This is the first time to visit his house, the location is very good, the decoration style tends to be European style, simple and regular, just like his preference.The open-air balcony is full of flowers, just like a flower hall, with all kinds of varieties and colorful colors, she can't even name them.

I turned around dumbfoundedly, and walked into the kitchen obediently.He was wearing an apron and sorting out the dishes he had just bought. The yellow light above his head was very gentle, and the apron was made of sea blue plaid, which gave him a very warm feeling.

She couldn't help but walked over, gently wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, leaned her face against his back, and whispered: "Master, you are so handsome."

Cen laughed today, turned around and took her hand, even though he couldn't free his hand while holding something like this, he still bent down, put his face in front of her, and teased her: "Want to please me? I told you , there is a better way.”

He closed his eyes, Gu Zeng blushed immediately, approached his cheek and pecked, and fled quickly.

"I'm very useful." He nodded seriously, really showing disrespect for the old.Gu Zeng ignored him, found vegetables in the bag and laid them out to help him.

She didn't pay attention when washing the peppers, and the pepper juice splashed into her eyes, which made her burst into tears.

Cen hurriedly cleaned her hands under the faucet today, and then washed her eyes with water. Seeing the bloodshot eyes when she opened them, she couldn't speak, shook her head helplessly, and pointed to the ingredients on the side.

She got off the table knowingly, took the unnecessary things to the refrigerator and put them away, and then heard him say in the kitchen: "Gu Zeng, bring me three eggs."

"it is good."

She looked in the refrigerator and saw that the eggs were placed on the top shelf.She is not tall and needs to raise her arms to hold the eggs.But today, because she was having dinner with Xu Shen, Qingya forced her to wear a skirt, a very short skirt, so...she glanced hesitantly at the kitchen, where he was making a meat grinder with his back turned to her.

She slowly turned her head to look at him again, realizing that he would not find out, quickly tiptoed to get three eggs, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw him resting his back against the door, looking at her with a smile.

His face was red to the base of his neck, "I, I got it."

"I was hidden in the mountains during the battle, and I was very sensitive to all sights. So if you look at me, I will know." He came over with his lips pursed, took the egg from her hand, and bowed his head meaningfully.

The lights in the room were too bright for any reaction to escape.He has such a handsome smile.

"Gu Zeng, don't tempt me." His fingers brushed her skirt unconsciously, he turned and walked back to the kitchen, "Now, it's too fast..."

She swore that if there was a hole in the ground in front of her, she would really go into it.

After a long time, she was still standing there blushing.Cen couldn't help laughing in the kitchen today: "If you feel bored, you can watch TV, or listen to music, do what you like, and visit the house casually."

"Okay." She turned around decisively and fled the scene of the crime.After sitting on the balcony for a while, his face ached from the wind, he moved into the house again, and walked to his study somehow.

The three rows of bookshelves were full of books, certificates and various medals. Her eyes were naturally attracted by the medals, which should be military medals.A medal hung on the top of the wall is engraved with an eagle head, lifelike and meticulously crafted, it should be the Silver Eagle Award.

I heard that this award is a medal that only first-class pilots can compete for in international competitions. At first, someone discussed this medal on the wireless channel.Only those with outstanding military exploits will be honored.

She carefully put the Silver Eagle Award back to its original place, and suddenly her eyes paused, stopping on a photo.Not very old, not very new, a photo of a few pilots in military uniform, standing together with their arms around their shoulders, smiling happily.He stood at the very edge, holding a woman in his arms.

This is probably his comrade-in-arms, and that woman should be someone he likes.She took a serious look, and the woman in the photo was smiling like a flower, very beautiful, holding his arm and half leaning on his shoulder.The eyes are warm, it won't lie.

Biting her lip unconsciously, the photo was suddenly taken by another pair of hands.

Cen took her to sit on the sofa today, pointed at the people in the photo, and introduced to her one by one: "Qu Yanran, he may be sunbathing on an unknown island right now."

"Mike is an authentic Atlantan. Unfortunately, he doesn't like his mother tongue very much. He always chases me to learn Chinese. He has many girlfriends, and he is especially good at talking about love. Sam, that French guy who lights candles every day."

……

"Su Ge, African Sudanese, save my comrades."

The smile is the brightest in the group, the teeth are very white and the skin is very dark, in stark contrast.As she could imagine, there were many braids on her head, and she later learned that this was because she could not wash her hair for several years.

"A lot of photos were deliberately destroyed when I graduated. Of course, there are not many photos of us together, and this is probably the only one I can find now." He recalled seriously, his chin resting on the top of her head, "Probably When it was his birthday, we celebrated him, and it happened that Yan Ran was there at that time, so we took a group photo together."

He held her in his arms, recalling the past, "He liked Yanran very much, and felt that she was different from Eastern women, and she was also very different from Western women, but it was just like a friend, and he was not used to showing affection to girls." His breath was very close to his ear, warm and itchy to the touch.She twisted her body uncomfortably, and was pulled back by him again.

"In the beginning, he was very envious of me being Chinese. He thought China was a country awakening in the dark, which was cool. But when it came to Sudan, he was always reluctant to recall too much. His hometown is Khartoum in a small town."

The sofa was very soft. He put the photo back in its original position, supported her head with one hand, and bent down against the sofa.The skirt was too short, and because of the lying down position, it slid to the base of the thigh.

"He said that poverty cannot destroy a person's kindness. He is willing to wash clothes for all the people in the dormitory, if the saved water can be sent back to Sudan. Even if you can't, you can't just waste water like this." His hand pressed against her. knees, slowly moving upstream.Starlight poured down from the window.

Thinking of this person, he couldn't forgive himself, "Gu Zeng, if one day in the future, when you might not be able to find me, I should be the one to fulfill his wish." The hot breath swept down, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes. She smiled softly with closed eyes, and pulled down her skirt, "I have good self-control, but I can't always test me like this." His voice was hoarse and deep, and before Gu Zeng could react, his lips Already suppressed her.

After a long time of lingering, he picked her up from the sofa: "I have been learning some things from books since I was a child, such as self-denial and return to courtesy, but sometimes I really can't help it." He smiled, "Continue , the dishes in the kitchen are going to be reheated again."

Gu Zeng followed closely behind, pulling his skirt with one hand, almost crying.Obviously...it's obviously him, why did he make it sound like she was longing for it?
The next day I sent her to work, and I happened to meet Asu and Qiao when I entered the door, so I couldn't help being teased for a while.Cen didn't need to fly today, so he took her house key to fetch Cattelan, and sent him to the flower and bird market to dig up the soil again.

The two made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, but they didn't expect to have his aunt.

Cen said helplessly today: "She thinks she should teach you some flower gardening skills in front of your face, so she insists on having dinner together."

Fortunately, there is no need for anyone to cook, or the Sichuan restaurant last time, which will save a lot of things.

Cen Today's aunt's surname is Xie, with the word Fen.He likes to call her Ms. Xie Fen, and she responds unceremoniously to Captain Cen.

Xie Fen is a very talkative person and very kind. He told her a lot of things to pay attention to in caring for flowers and plants, and warmly invited her to drink tea in the shop.Xie Fen did not keep any of the interesting things about his past mentioned later.

"He will go to the Air Force because of the influence of his uncle, who is my ex-husband, Cen's flight instructor in Atlanta." Xie Fen still drank red wine while eating Sichuan food, but she didn't drink slowly like others. The method is more often misunderstood as lack of taste, but it is not the case, she is just very forthright.The evaluation of alcohol is also very simple, just to stimulate the nerves.

"Ah Cen has been very attractive since he first arrived in Atlanta. There are many beautiful girls in the fighter training camp. They all like him, and they always invite him to dinner or into the room. I remember that his mentor has an apprentice who is also very good. , I liked him for several years, but he never expressed it. Later, the girl went to the General Military Headquarters, and now she is developing very well."

Cen quietly prepared dishes today, listening to the communication between the two women, without interrupting.

"His mentor has always been concerned about his decision to return to China suddenly. Now that he mentions it to me, he still has to drop the phone."

Gu Zeng took a sip of water carefully, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.He ate the dishes very seriously, without distraction, and he didn't seem to hear the complaints in these words.

Xie Fen sighed slowly: "Ah Cen, thanks to you, I have been in touch with him all these years. He suddenly called me, and he just hoped that I could convince you that there is a project training going on at the headquarters now. , which means I hope you can go back to tutor for about three months. I know that you are now a civil aviation employee and you can't take a vacation casually, but you know that the headquarters has always expected more from you."

Cen was silent for a while today, and then said that he would consider it, but did not refuse on the spot.

There are many reasons for his hesitation at this moment, the expectations of his mentor, the rare low profile of his aunt, her presence, the ten years of the Atlanta Air Force Department, those comrades... After knowing those things, she can understand.

Xie Fen also understood his stubbornness quite well, so he didn't say anything more, and turned back to the matter of growing flowers.After all, the meal was enjoyable, and she learned a lot of skills.

It's been a long time since she chatted in the dark room. As soon as she went online, she saw Lu Zhao complaining about the smog in Beijing. It was like hell.

Cute means you are used to it.

Mu Ran teased him, she was thick-skinned, so naturally she was not affected.

Qingya was talking on her mic.

……

Gu Zeng was lying on the bed, texting and chatting with Cen Today.At this time, he is in Shanghai, and the adjustment of the international flight has an advantage, that is, it will give him more time to rest.

I heard Qingya say that habit is really a terrible thing, how many people spend their whole life in such a muddle because of habit.She was a little distracted, and her phone vibrated suddenly, and then she saw the message from him.

Cen Today: Christmas is coming soon, Lu Zhao and I proposed to go camping together, are you interested?

Gu Zeng: Such a cold day?

Cen Today: It seems that winter is not suitable for camping and camping, but sometimes you are bound by habits for a long time, so you can give it a try.

He should also be listening to the chat in the black room. It is really helpless to get used to this word.

Gu Zeng: What about the project training at the headquarters?
Cen Today: Before my aunt told me about it, I had already received the invitation letter, and I already had the answer.I think that at such times, spending more time with you will be beneficial to the improvement of the relationship.

Gu Zeng: ...Is that how you explained it to your mentor and aunt?
Cen Today: It will be easier for them. The answer is that I want to take care of my little girl.

Then I fell asleep somehow, but fortunately he didn't reply again.In the next few days, the time was always staggered with him, and occasionally it was just to catch up with the gap between meals. The two of them talked a few words in Changhong's coffee shop, and they were both a little busy.

It wasn't until Christmas Eve that he received a call from him. Lu Zhao had something to do and they would arrive later. If it was convenient, Xu Shen could be allowed to drive, and the three of them would go to the vacation home first.

Changhong's resort in the suburbs is very beautiful, and sometimes it is lent out to the crew for use. It seems that there is still a scene filming there at this time.Qingya was excited all the way, saying that she hadn't come out to relax for a long time, and she coordinated all the vacation time a while ago, so that she could spare the Christmas Eve vacation.After finishing speaking, he complained to Gu Zeng with envy: "How many vacations you spent in Paris a while ago, and now there are still people working for you for personal gain! It's really enviable."

Gu Zeng hugged a pillow to keep warm, and was used to her teasing from time to time, so the ground handling department would be relatively relaxed. Many college students were recruited in front, and it was time to make good use of people, so she was happy to relax.But Xu Shen couldn't see it, and would occasionally help her speak.

Going west from the Panshan Highway, you can see several manors, European-style buildings, surrounded by flowers.They stopped at the toll booth, bought some fruits and vegetables, and rented a set of barbecue equipment. When they were about to arrive at the holiday house, Cen sent him the specific room type information today.

While watching, Qingya exclaimed, "I know the big boss is very rich, especially the rich ones, but I never thought that a resort that doesn't come a few times a year can be so gorgeous."

After entering, I found that the villas here are of different styles and scattered in size. The different needs of the crew should have been considered in the earliest development, which fully demonstrated the true qualities of a businessman.

Xu Shen said with emotion: "A businessman without business acumen is not a good businessman."

Qingya pointed at her nose: "Yes, you are the one who is the best at making money. When will you earn back my dowry?"

The car stopped, Qingya went in and walked around first, and kept saying after coming out: "There is a sauna hot spring, and a glass conservatory, and you can sleep by the fireplace at night. Such a good house, did Captain Cen betray it?" How much beauty?"

Gu Zeng said that a person's beauty lasts for years and can be squandered at will.As soon as he said those words, he couldn't escape the murderous eyes of the two women.

In the afternoon, the three of them gathered around the fireplace to warm up and talk. Xu Shen was in a low mood. Qing Ya asked repeatedly, only to find out that Lu Zhao's family did not agree with their development.

"His family is very traditional, with a very old-fashioned style in the 70s. He thinks that most women in the fashion circle change their minds and are not ladies."

Qingya was lying on the sofa wrapped in a shawl, and motioned for Gu Zeng to bring her a cup of black tea: "Will Lu Zhao listen to the family's arrangements? They think you are not qualified enough to be a good family?" She felt very unbelievable, "You are so annoyed because of this matter? "

Xu Shen glared at her angrily, "Wait until you hook up with Lu Jin, and see if you're worried."

Well, Qingya was so choked that she couldn't speak, she muttered twice for a long time: "I haven't even written a word, I'm the only one who sees it right..."

Every relationship between them has been serious in the past, but they have never been so careful.So did Xu Shen, so did Qingya, maybe it was only when she met the right person that she considered so much, including the feelings and opinions of his relatives.With Xu Shen's temperament, he wouldn't be unhappy about such a thing. In the past, he would have a happy dinner and then go back to his respective houses.It's really hard to say now.

"Gu Xiaobai, will Captain Cen's family be so...conservative?"

"Hey, Xiaobai is different from you. After all, she is a girl from a good family, and her job is normal."

Xu Shen said with a sullen face, "You mean, I'm not a girl from a good family anymore?"

The two were about to fight again, Gu Zeng sat quietly for a while, and interrupted them: "To be honest, I don't know anything. I met his aunt not long ago, and I can't tell his family environment at all."

But Lu Zhao said before that the relationship between him and his parents is very weak, so it is still an uncertain factor.

Towards evening, snowflakes fell on the mountains.The mountains were full of wind and snow, and their car did not drive to the door until it was completely dark.

It was a warm night, Lu Zhao and Xu Shen were talking in the room, Qing Ya and Lu Jin were busy in the kitchen, and they were the only two people left in front of the fireplace.

Soon, wisely decided to go out for a walk.There is a long cobblestone path in front of the villa, and it is not known where it will eventually lead.After walking for a while, the two of them reached the edge of the cliff, and the wind was astonishingly strong.She subconsciously turned her head to block the wind, and was hugged by him.After a while, he covered her ears again, and the thick gloves covered half of her face.

The moonlight was a little dark, his face was soft, and he asked softly, "Do you miss me?"

Gu Zeng looked at him, bit his lip, unable to speak.He repeated it patiently, tempting her constantly in the cold wind.

In the end, she had no choice but to surrender, nodded and said, "I want to." She opened her mouth again and again, and finally said slowly, "I really want to, we haven't gotten along so quietly for a long time."

He smiled: "Two days ago I flew to Atlanta for Lu Jin's class. During the break, I went to the headquarters. There were many new faces there, and the dormitory building where I lived in the first place was about to be demolished and rebuilt. Suddenly there was a special feeling. strange feeling."

"Will you be sad? Go to that place and remember some past events?" She raised her head so that it was easier to see his face and every subtle movement.

"No, I won't be sad." He paused for a moment, then turned around and walked back with her, "It's just that I'm a little depressed out of habit."

Just like her, habitually warm and timid.

It should be because I stayed outside for a long time, my hands and feet were almost frozen, and I walked back very quickly.When approaching the door, she was still teasing him: "It seems that it is not wise to go camping in winter."

Cen nodded as if there was something serious today, expressing his affirmation: "Fortunately, Lu Zhao considered you girls and arranged a house."

"You mean, without us, you'd be living out tonight?"

The door was opened, and two people walked in quickly, and closed the door behind their backs, their clothes were covered with snow.He untied his gloves, fiddled with the snowflakes on her hair, and pondered: "It should be on the top of the mountain."

My God... Before she had time to marvel, she had just taken off her windbreaker when she heard the sound of arguing upstairs.

It was Xu Shen and Lu Zhao. They didn't know what they were talking about, and they had disagreements and quarreled.Qingya and Lu Jin were baking and eating in the greenhouse in the courtyard, but they didn't hear anything.Fortunately, the quarrel only lasted for a while, and then it quieted down.

After changing her clothes today, Cen asked her in a low voice, "Do you want to go eat something together?"

Gu Zeng slowly responded, followed him to the kitchen to get some things, and then walked to the greenhouse.

Qingya warmly invited: "I'm going to visit the film crew, it's not far away in the villa area, Xiaobai, do you want to go together?"

"I won't go." She hesitated for a while, worried about Xu Shen's situation, "I don't like chasing stars, so you should go..."

Qingya, on the other hand, looked at her and Cen Today meaningfully, expressing her understanding again and again, and also said that not seeing each other every day is like three autumns, and she generously backed down in friendship.

It was embarrassing for her to be said, but Cen still seemed to be very useful today.Soon Xu Shen and Lu Zhao also entered the conservatory to eat. The makeup on Xu Shen's face was obviously worn out from tears, but he seemed to be in a much better mood.When the men were busy, she gave her a comforting look, and Gu Zeng felt relieved.

Qingya grabbed her hand and said secretly: "We came to the greenhouse to hear them quarreling. When you came back just now, I was so scared that you would run upstairs." Then she glared at Xu Shen, "It's okay, she is willing to come down It must be fine if you eat, you still don't know her?"

Qingya winked at her triumphantly, and bit her ear: "A woman's trick is to cry, make trouble, and hang herself. As long as she is willing to do it, how can Lu Zhao escape?"

It was said to bite one's ear, but who didn't hear it?Xu Shen's face became hot, and he rushed over to grab Qingya and beat her up.
