Secretary Zhang glanced at Qi Mengyan and frowned. He raised his head and said, "Go away, I don't want to lower myself to a woman's level. This is between me and Zhao Long, it has nothing to do with you!"
Qi Mengyan still wanted to talk back, but I clapped my hands and raised my voice, "Shut up!
Stop arguing! "
It was effective and it restored a moment of silence.
Secretary Zhang pursed his lips and waved at me, saying, "Zhao Long, come with me." Then he retreated to the wall outside, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs.
Qi Mengyan tugged at the corner of my shirt and said, "Ignore him!"
But I still walked over to him.
As I walked towards Secretary Zhang, You Meng looked at me with a worried expression. I could see that she had something on her mind.
Secretary Zhang put his hands on his waist and said aggressively, "Zhao Long, what do you want me to say about you?
You're simply ungrateful. You've forgotten how the party and the country trained you, and you've forgotten how the leaders of the central government cared about you. Look at what you've become now.
Look at you, now that you've retired from the military, you're looking down on You Meng, right?
What part of You Meng doesn't deserve you? Look at yourself … "After a series of criticisms, Secretary Zhang became even more arrogant. He frowned and looked at me with a stern expression.
I didn't blame him for his ridicule, but I calmly replied, "Secretary Zhang, I hope you won't meddle in our affairs!
This has nothing to do with you. "
Secretary Zhang was stunned and said, "How does it have nothing to do with me?
I used to be your leader. As your old comrade, as your old leader, I took care of you because I was responsible for you. Although you're no longer in the Secret Service, you must always remember that you used to be a security officer. You must withstand the temptations of society, and you must be loyal to your unit and your leader … "
I asked back, "Why should I be loyal to the military when they treated me like this?
Did you forget how the Secret Service treated me? "
Secretary Zhang said, "How did the Secret Service treat you?
When I asked you to leave the military, it was for the sake of the big picture!
If I were the Bureau Chief, I would do the same! "
I sneered and said, "You're such a coward, and you think you're the bureau chief?
Let me tell you, Zhang Dengqiang, don't think that you can order me around just because you're a security officer again. You're not qualified. "
Secretary Zhang didn't expect me to mock him like this, so he blushed and pointed at me, "Zhao Long, you, you don't have to go too far!
Don't forget that I'm a security officer now, and you've already retired. If I want to mess with you, you won't have a good time!
Since you've already fallen to this point, I hope that you won't bother You Meng anymore. You Meng won't have any illusions about you anymore. From today onwards, everything between you and You Meng is over! "
On the side, You Meng was startled when she heard Secretary Zhang's words. She thought to herself, Is this Secretary Zhang here to persuade me, or is he deliberately cutting the Gordian knot and making me completely break up with Zhao Long?
So You Meng quickly came up to me and said, "Zhao Long, let's go."
I understood what You Meng meant, and it was also what I was thinking. So I nodded and walked towards the South.
Qi Mengyan shouted from behind, "Captain Zhao, come back soon!
We still have to buy laptops. "
Secretary Zhang pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at our backs. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
You Meng and I walked side by side, and once again attracted the attention of the villagers.
I remember the last time You Meng came to my house, it set off a storm of beauty.
Two years later, it was still the same.
You Meng crossed her arms and said softly, "I didn't expect that you would agree to walk with me today."
I didn't know how to respond, but I was sure that my current mood wasn't any better than You Meng's.
During the time I was separated from You Meng, I suffered from the torment of lovesickness day and night. There were many fears that constantly invaded my work and life.
How could I not want to hold hands with You Meng again and continue our love?
But because of the mission, I had to temporarily restrain my love and distance myself from You Meng.
At this time, the development of the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for me and You Meng. According to Director You's instructions, I had to spare no effort to infiltrate the organization. If I did that, I would become a 'criminal' that opposed the Secret Service and the Ministry of Public Security. If You Meng continued to be with me, she wouldn't be able to escape the condemnation of public opinion. She would become a criminal in the Secret Service and would be in a dilemma.
With a special mood, I faintly replied, "I think it's better to be frank."
You Meng didn't ask any more questions. She just walked with me along the familiar village street and went straight to a fish pond in the southern part of the village.
I knew her intention. I remembered that we were next to this fish pond and our feelings were endless. It was like a poem or a painting.
At that time, we were very happy.
You Meng found a tile on the ground and shook her wrist. The tile jumped along the surface of the pond and swam to the other side.
I remembered a poem that You Meng had improvised: A dream with a pillow in the water, rising and falling, faintly discernible …
I felt a strong surge of sorrow in my heart, but I still wanted to use a smile to cover it up. I added fuel to the fire and asked, "When do you plan to return to Beijing?"
You Meng said expressionlessly, "I'll return in the afternoon … But … if the Heavens can let me see hope, even if I never return, I'll accept it."
I asked, "What hope do you see?"
You Meng looked straight at the water and played with the tile in her hand. She said, "I don't know."
You Meng's nose twitched and she almost cried again.
I seemed to have a sudden realization. I felt that the hope that You Meng mentioned should be my change of heart.
She hoped that I would change my mind. For this, she could give up everything!
These were You Meng's thoughts at this moment, these were You Meng's thoughts at this moment!
I could read her, but I couldn't satisfy her.
In my impression, You Meng was a girl who kept her word. Yesterday, she swore that she wouldn't have any contact with me, but she still came today … What did this mean?
It was easy to imagine.
You Meng opened her mouth again. "I didn't want to come today, but I thought about it last night. I'm not willing. I'm not willing to give you to another woman.
I can feel that you don't like that girl, right? "She didn't look at me until she finished speaking. Her eyes were wet.
I secretly blamed myself for being so heartless. I smiled bitterly and thought to myself: If I hadn't been so indecisive yesterday and talked to You Meng, she wouldn't be so depressed and sad.
I replied, "I said, I have nothing to do with that girl.
I'm now her temporary bodyguard. "
You Meng asked, "Temporary bodyguard?
Aren't you a security guard? "
I said, "I'm a security guard.
But a lot of things happened later. I can't explain it in a few words.
I'm just asking you to believe me. She's just my bodyguard.
There's no other relationship between us. "Saying this, it seemed like I was contradicting myself.
You Meng asked again, "What happened later? Why did you change so much?"
You Meng's eyes were full of expectation. This was the truth that she wanted to know.
Of course, I couldn't answer. I just smiled faintly. My heart was filled with a strange feeling.
I changed the topic and said, "You Meng, I hope you can believe me.
Right now, I can only tell you that I'm still … "When the words reached my mouth, I felt that some words couldn't be said too clearly, so I said," If you believe me, in the near future, we can still work together. We will still be together. "
You Meng frowned in surprise. "Why do you have to push it to the future?"
I said, "There's no reason.
I remember that I told you before that when I achieve something one day, I will let you come back to my side. "
Of course, I couldn't tell her that I would continue to be with her after completing this special mission.
But even so, I was worried. If my words reached Director You's ears, Director You would definitely be furious with me.
You Meng said with a wry smile, "No one knows what will happen in the future. I think you're just beating around the bush.
Maybe you don't have me in your heart anymore. You're just looking for an excuse to comfort me. "
I said, "Believe me, I'm not beating around the bush.
As long as I, Zhao Long, am still alive in this world, I will come and find you. "
You Meng lowered her head in surprise. She drew circles on the ground with her hand, but she didn't say anything else.
We were silent for a long time. Then, You Meng suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go back."
Although I felt that we hadn't talked thoroughly, I still nodded.
However, I felt as if there was a stone blocking my heart. It was very uncomfortable.
On the way back, You Meng lowered her head and didn't say anything.
As we got closer to home, we heard the sound of quarreling. I immediately frowned and quickened my pace with You Meng.
It turned out that the Qi Mengyan sisters were arguing with Secretary Zhang!
Qi Mengna took the lead and scolded Secretary Zhang. She put her hands on her waist and tilted her head. She scolded him, "You four-eyed bastard, how dare you come here and cause trouble. I'm telling you, as long as we're here, you won't be able to do anything!"
Secretary Zhang trembled in anger. His face turned red and he scolded back, "You two little devils, sooner or later you'll bring harm to Zhao Long.
I … I'm a good man and I don't fight with women. I'm not going to talk to you! "
"What do you mean a good man doesn't fight with women?
You can't win, right? "
"… …"
Seeing You Meng and I come back, Qi Mengna scolded even more fiercely. Secretary Zhang, who had already stopped scolding, also scolded back. This scene was very spectacular and attracted a lot of onlookers.
My parents could only watch from the side and feel anxious. There was nothing they could do.
