The car drove for five or six minutes and stopped in front of a quaintly decorated Cantonese morning tea shop.
Like a little ostrich, Li Jiao went into a private room behind Zhang Jiu Ling, and did not dare to speak along the way.
"That's it."
Zhang Jiu Ling handed the menu to the waiter, who nodded with a smile.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After speaking, he backed out.
Li Jiao sat in the seat, watching her nose and mouth, and touching the coat on her leg. It suddenly occurred to him that she had not returned the clothes to Zhang Jiu Ling.
"Instructor, your clothes."
With that said, Li Jiao stood up and began to untie the clothes on her waist. She just untied the knot and wanted to pass it to someone. Suddenly stretched out a slender and strong hand.
White and well-knotted, pressed on the clothes, forming a sharp contrast with the green clothes.
Li Jiao looked up, Zhang Jiu Ling's expression was faint, and his thin lips were pale pink. He looked at her and spoke.
"Cover it well."
The voice is a little slow, a little low. Clear and soft at the end, it sounds nice, and it feels like a fine silky satin on the satin.
Li Jiao felt that her ears were pregnant instantly, and she sat back in her seat in a daze, obediently covering her clothes on her legs.
The large coat concealed her two legs. There is a superficial scent of him on the clothes, like a kind of sandalwood scent. It feels cold and calm. The smell makes people feel very relieved.
The clothes were over her lap, as if he was protecting her.
Li Jiao pursed her lips, secretly happy.
The dishes are fast, horseshoe cake, shrimp dumplings. Rice rolls, wontons, radish cakes...the color is attractive, and the scent of gluttonous insects is wafting throughout the room.
It smells so good...
Zhang Jiu Ling got up, reached out and put a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge from the white porcelain porridge bowl, glutinous millet, light green minced preserved egg, pink meat mocha, and the bowl was decorated with a little green onion.
The thick fragrance was pungent, and the slender and powerful hands were placed in front of Li Jiao.
"Try it, this preserved egg and lean meat porridge is cooked very well."
"Okay," Li Jiao nodded, "Thank you instructor."
Zhang Jiu Ling sat back in her seat, turned slightly sideways, put one hand on the back of the chair, and one hand on the table, slightly bent, with prominent joints and slender fingers. In the indifferent and cold aura, there is a touch of laziness and arrogance faintly.
For a moment, Li Jiao felt that he was especially like a noble and arrogant young man in the capital, with Erlang's legs tilted up, and his eyes lightly raised.
The troubled little brother ran up to him and shouted insults. And he just took a lazy look, his thin lips lightly opened, and he spit out a word coldly.
"Kill."
Extremely disdainful, extremely arrogant!
"Don't like it?"
The little girl in front of him didn't move, but kept staring at him. Zhang Jiu Ling frowned, thinking she didn't like porridge.
Li Jiao suddenly returned to her senses, waved her hand, and explained.
"No no."
After finishing speaking, she quickly sent a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and smiled.
"It's delicious."
Zhang Jiu Ling put down his hand on the back of the chair, turned around, and brought a plate of shrimp dumplings on bamboo baskets. The snow-white transparent dough wrapped the pink prawns and placed it in front of Li Jiao.
"Try the shrimp dumplings, which is also the signature here?"
When he said this, his voice was low, hoarse, and a touch of Beijing accent, which sounded good.
However, Li Jiao glanced at the person. Zhang Jiu Ling's voice sounded a little tired. He said he was here for breakfast, but he didn't move his chopsticks.
She put down the spoon and looked at the person, "Instructor, did you not rest last night? Why do you feel tired?"
When the little girl spoke, her voice was soft and timid, and she looked at him with big wet eyes, full of concern.
Zhang Jiu Ling's heart softened suddenly, and the coldness in the corners of the eyebrows and eyes subsided, and there was a touch of gentleness.
Explained: "I had something last night, I didn't rest, it's okay, I'm not tired."
I didn't have time to sleep on something last night, but I called people out early in the morning and didn't care if they had time.
Li Jiao's long eyelashes drooped and blinked, suddenly feeling a little guilty.
Seeing that she had finished speaking, the little girl suddenly felt a little depressed, and Zhang Jiu Ling also knew that she should be guilty.
Speaking, he said unintentionally: "How about you, did you sleep well last night?"
"Me? I'm fine," Li Jiao raised her head, answered her eyes, and murmured again.
"There are mosquitoes, and I'm too excited to fall asleep."
The windows were not closed last night, and several large mosquitoes flew into Li Jiao's room. During the first half of the night, she was beating mosquitoes, and in the second half, because she wanted to see Zhang Jiu Ling, she never fell asleep.
At dawn, she slept in a daze for more than an hour.
She thought she was speaking very quietly, but she didn't know that Zhang Jiu Ling heard them all, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
With this interruption, Li Jiao felt Zhang Jiu Ling's mood improved a lot. Therefore, she curled her mouth, smiled with crooked eyebrows, smiled on her teeth, and two small dimples were sweet and charming.
"Drink porridge first." Zhang Jiu Ling said.
"Good."
Li Jiao looked at the unmoving bowls and chopsticks in front of Zhang Jiu Ling again, and asked.
"Instructor, don't you eat breakfast?"
Zhang Jiu Ling leaned back in the chair, lazily, with one hand on the back of the chair, sitting in a posture that looked like a lazy Bei Jing paralysis.
Squinting those long and narrow eyes, it seemed that he was about to fall asleep.
The voice was deep and slow, "I have no appetite."
She don't know why, Li Jiao thinks that Zhang Jiu Ling is especially like a child who has a little temper, and does not eat out of anger.
Wow~
So cute, she really want to sit down...
No, she really want to hug him!
...
After dinner, when she came out of the morning tea shop, there were more people on the street, the grandfather and aunt who bought vegetables, the sanitation workers who cleaned the street, and the children running around with little red flags on their faces...
Zhang Jiu Ling was standing at the door, with crisp clothes and a straight posture. In the still dark sky, his back was cold and silent, like a man standing alone in the sky and the earth.
A few strokes, outline the outline, as if wanting to leave by the wind.
He is making a call with a mobile phone in his right hand.
What Li Jiao did not hear clearly, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Jiu Ling turned around.
He looked at her and said, "Are you going to see the flag raising?"
By the way, today is eleven. Because of the 70th anniversary of the National Day this year, Nanshi attaches great importance to it. She have always heard people say that there will be a grand flag-raising ceremony in the central square.
The central square is also the center of the South City. There is a street in front of it, also called Chang'an Street, a wide avenue. The city hall, police department, courthouse, etc. are all nearby.
After the ceremony of raising the flag, the central square was already crowded with people. Chang'an Avenue was emptied, and there was no car on the spacious avenue. People stood on both sides, shoulder to shoulder, looking forward to it, looking forward to a small military parade for a while.
Li Jiao and Zhang Jiu Ling stood in the crowd. After a while, the ceremony began.
A group of men in military uniforms came, standing tall and striding forcefully. The main flag bearer is front left, his deputy is front right, and there are 2 flag bearers behind, guarding the bright national flag in the center.
The audience was quiet and standing upright.
"Raising the national flag!"
"Play the national anthem!"
"All stand upright and pay attention!"
"..."
The solemn and majestic movement sounded, and everyone present stood solemnly, respecting this sacred admiration, silently watching the rising of the national flag and raising their necks little by little.
My country, my mother, I wish you a happy 70th anniversary!
When the bright flag rose to the highest point, Zhang Jiu Ling turned his head and looked at the people beside him. The little girl was looking at the flag intently, her face quietly beautiful and serious.
He gently hooked the corner of his mouth, turned his head, looked at the bright national flag, and stared deeply.
In the first half of my life, I am loyal to the country, and in the second half of my life, I will also be loyal to the country.
In the old days, playing rain and gun forest, I never had the heart to retreat. Azhong, I love you, and I am willing to defend the peace of the motherland to the death with my life and my whole heart.
Azhong, I love you and respect you.
Today, I have a girl I like, I want to be the first to introduce it to you and make an application to you.
In the future, my whole heart, I want to give half of my love to the girl.
In the future, I will be loyal to the country and love her.
………
The flag-raising ceremony is over and the military parade begins.
The azure air force, the spray-white navy, and the pine-green army, a well-trained team, came to us in a unified pace, powerful and sonorous.
The three armies are invincible!
In the sky, they even hired two small planes to release paintballs and passed by.
"Bang Bang" a few times, colorful smoke bloomed in the sky, gorgeous and colorful.
"Oh—"
On the ground, a group of seven or eight-year-old children cheered. There is a small bright red flag on his face.
On Chang'an Avenue, when an army unit passed by, Li Jiao saw sharply that there were many familiar faces in the group.
Next door, there are six instructors who speak Sichuan dialect in Class 2, the fat instructor in Class 13, and there are many familiar people.
"Instructor, they..."
Li Jiao pointed at someone and asked Zhang Jiu Ling.
"They are going to participate in this military parade." Zhang Jiu Ling said.
The military region to which the Liuzi and others belonged is in Beishi. This time they came to Nanshi to carry out military training, which was also the request of Nanda. "
By the way, on every eleventh, the Nanshi government also invited them to participate in this military parade.
Li Jiao turned her gaze back to the middle of Chang'an Avenue, and the instructors who usually talked and laughed with them played with them.
At this moment, all of them have a severe temperament and extraordinary heroism.
They stand in the middle of Chang'an Avenue and enjoy the attention of thousands of people. But she can only stand in the crowd, watching them silently.
The distance seems to have suddenly changed.
Li Jiao tilted her head, looking at Zhang Jiu Ling next to her, a touch of loneliness appeared in her eyes.
Instructor, will he be like this, getting farther and farther...
After watching the military parade, the two turned away from Chang'an Avenue and walked into a side street with few people. Plane trees were planted on both sides of the street to cover the sky and the sun.
Thinking about what happened just now, Li Jiao hadn't spoken all the way, with her head hanging down and walking along the way.
She couldn't imagine what life would be like without Zhang Jiu Ling in the future.
I don’t know, do you feel this way. When I saw him, I felt a voice saying, "I think it's him!"
Li Jiao wasn't sure before, what kind of emotion she had for Zhang Jiu Ling, whether she simply had a good impression of, or liked it.
In fact, she was also afraid that she would only adore Zhang Jiu Ling for a while.
However, through the period after the instructor change. While Li Jiao felt sad, she also knew one thing.
She likes Zhang Jiu Ling, not because he is infatuated at the level of instructors, not because of temporary worship.
She likes him because he is Zhang Jiu Ling. So, she likes him!
She is not sure about Zhang Jiu Ling's current feelings for her, but Li Jiao is clearly certain that she likes Zhang Jiu Ling!
I like it very much, I like it so much!
It's the kind of like that will make you sad if you don't see him in the future!
In the days to come, she would see Zhang Jiu Ling every day!
She thought...
Stay with him!
"Instructor."
Li Jiao suddenly turned around, looking hard to calm her excitement.
She raised her head and looked at the person with her big watery eyes, like a soft and full of water, clear and clean.
She spoke, very firm.
"Instructor, no matter where you go in the future, I will be with you!"
Li Jiao spoke very seriously and firmly. While Zhang Jiu Ling was moved, he also felt helpless.
How come this little girl always feels that he is leaving.
Li Jiao still looked at him firmly, with her small head tilted up and her big eyes bulging, a bit like a little goldfish.
Zhang Jiu Ling gently pulled the corner of his mouth, raised his hand, and rubbed her head.
There was a touch of unspeakable tenderness in his helpless tone.
"I never seemed to say I was leaving."
"Huh?"
Li Jiao was stunned, what did this mean, did she understand what was wrong before?
The little girl was dumbfounded, Zhang Jiu Ling leaned slightly, his eyes were level with her, his dark eyes, deep and quiet, and a touch of tenderness mixed in.
The voice sank, and the sound quality was pleasing to the ears and cold, like a stream of clear mountain spring flowing slowly through the ears.
"Little girl, your language is not very good."
"Don't you understand what I said before?"
Words, what words?
Li Jiao was stunned by Zhang Jiu Ling's sudden approach. He leaned down, his eyes met her, his eyelashes were very long and a little warped. Those cold eyes, fixedly, seemed to see her through.
Li Jiao's face flushed with shame.
At the same time, I asked myself crazy in my heart, what to say and what did the instructor say to me?
"Instructor, can I still see you after the military training?"
"Mu Mu Chao Chao."
"Instructor, can you tell me where you are going after your military training? I want to find you."
"You don't use it to find me."
"I will come."
"This is not a task, it is my request."
"..."
In an instant, these words were all mixed together. With a "ding", Li Jiao had an answer in her mind.
However, she couldn't believe it.
"Instructor, you...I..."
She looked at the person and stammered in doubt.
Zhang Jiu Ling straightened up, looked at her and said.
"Little girl, you are right."
"Language comprehension is finally right."
"Ah," Li Jiao still couldn't believe it, "Instructor, you...you...do you also...like me..."
The more she talked, the less confident she became, and she was almost silent in the end.
Zhang Jiu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"I like you, is it embarrassing to have such a small voice."
"Also, little girl. It's not that I like you too, but..."
"I only like you."
