On the track and field field of Sichuan University, Rena and Qiao Guoqiang were jogging side by side in sportswear. After running for a long time, the two of them began to sweat in the cold of December.
"Joe, you don't look like a young man in his twenties.”
"What?" Qiao Guoqiang asked curiously,"What do you mean?" You were the one who begged for mercy in the hotel last night.”
"No, I'm not talking about that!" Rena stopped, and Qiao Guoqiang accidentally rushed to the front.
"So, What do you mean?”Qiao Guoqiang stopped and turned around.
Rena frowned and spread her hands." I don't know what to say. You seem to be very indifferent to love…unlike those of your age."
"I can't wait to be together every day. Ask you what you eat three times a day, and then remind you to drink more hot water?”Qiao Guoqiang asked.
"Um." Rena waved her right hand." Not exactly.”
"For example?" Qiao Guoqiang asked.
"For example, you don't seem to like going to movies or KTV.”
“Oh!”Qiao Guoqiang looked at Rena and asked," You've been in China for two or three years. You should know that watching movies here is different from watching movies in America.”
"Couples here usually go to the hotel after going to the movies or KTV. Americans like to skip that step and do it directly in the cinema!”
"Are you reminding me that I can save money on hotels in the future?”Qiao Guoqiang crossed his arms in front of his chest and nodded." I'm fine with it, as long as you don't mind the cold in winter and the heat in summer."”
“Oh,NO! NO! NO!”Rena waved her hand." I'm not blaming you or anything.”
"Uh-huh?" Qiao Guoqiang snorted doubtfully.
" What I want to say is," Rena walked up to him and straightened his collar. She asked gently," What happened to you recently?" It changed you a lot."
Qiao Guoqiang was stunned by the question. Yes, he used to be the kind of person who enjoyed himself while he could. This was because they had to be careful when leading the tour. They couldn't let the tourists complain, they had to take care of everyone's safety, and they had to mediate conflicts. Sometimes, they even had to be careful if there were fugitives or spies among the tourists.
Every time he sent the tourists away, he would take revenge and relax. He would go to boxing, the shooting range, or the KTV. Then, he would drag a girl to a hotel. He had been living like this since his senior year. It had been four years without him noticing.
Fortunately, his physical foundation, which had been trained since he was young, was still quite solid. It did not make him look strong on the outside but weak on the inside like those otakus.
When did he start to stay away from nightclubs and parties?
It should have been after he transmigrated to 'Drawing Swords.' They fought the Japanese with the troops, climbed the ice and snow together, ate cornbread together, and chased their prey for 20 to 30 miles in the mountains just to eat some oily meat.
"Hey, Joe!" Rena pushed him."What are you thinking?”
"I'm thinking about your problem!" Qiao Guoqiang held Rena's hand and the two of them began to walk on the lawn inside the track.
"Do you have an answer?"
Qiao Guoqiang nodded silently.”
"My grandfather passed away on National Day.”
"Oh, why didn't you tell me?"Rena asked." You should have asked me to go to the funeral.”
"The cultures of the two countries are different. I'm afraid you won't be used to it.”
"So, did your grandfather's death change your personality?" Rena asked.
"He's a veteran!" Qiao Guoqiang said," I participated in the war against the fascists and the war of liberation. Our county had a population of only 30,000, but 855 young men were enlisted. When the war ended, my grandfather was the only one alive.”
"He's the only one alive out of 855 people?”Reina couldn't believe it." This is terrible.”
"He is the pride of our family!" Qiao Guoqiang said," Every adult male in our family has served in the army, except for me.”
“WHY？”
"Physical examination failed!" Qiao Guoqiang pursed his lips helplessly." I have a scattered light in my right eye, and I've had two surgeries. One was a hemorrhoid, and the other was appendicitis. So I have no fate with the army!"
"So you feel very regretful?" Rena asked.
"Yes!" Qiao Guoqiang nodded." My father has three brothers, and each of them is an outstanding member of the army. My uncle fought with the Indians, my second uncle fought with the South Vietnamese, and 20 years ago, he sacrificed himself on the dam to save people during the national flood. Although my third uncle and father have never experienced war, they have served in the army for a few years under very difficult conditions.”
"When my grandfather died, I couldn't forget his regretful expression. I felt that I had betrayed them, especially that kind of debauchery. It was a blasphemy to their contributions.”
"No!" Rena shook her head." It's not your fault. You didn't harm yourself to refuse military service, and you didn't falsify medical records. Your life is your life. You don't have to make yourself exactly like them.”
"In fact, didn't they join the army so that most people could live safely and dance happily?!”
Rena said,"My great-grandfather also fought against the nazis. His goal was to stop the nazis in Europe so that his family could listen to the radio in peace.”
"So, you don't need to feel regret or guilt!"Rena touched Qiao Guoqiang's face and said affirmatively," Be yourself.”
“So?”
"Shall we go watch a movie?" " Then go to the hotel?" Rena suggested. Or my dormitory?"
“OK!”Qiao Guoqiang smiled and replied," I just don't like that kind of life. I didn't say I wanted to become a monk. You can rest assured about this!"
At 9 pm that night, at an intersection in the south of the city, a Harvard H6 kept shaking slightly on the roadside.
A team of four from the special patrol unit walked over under the lead of a policewoman…
The policewoman waved the flashlight in her hand at the license plate, then pointed it at the windshield. She saw a man holding the steering wheel with one hand, and behind the steering wheel, a person's head was bobbing up and down.
"Sir, please show me your driver's license. I suspect that you're driving dangerously.”Feng Li, who was wearing a reflective vest, blushed and said to Qiao Guoqiang,
"No way, officer. I've learned the traffic rules. You can't falsely accuse me!”Qiao Guoqiang handed the driver's license to the female officer. This woman was Feng Li.
"This is considered fatigue driving. I have the right to detain you for 48 hours.”Feng Li only glanced at it briefly before keeping the driver's license.
"Do you have any proof that I was driving when I was tired? Why don't you see where I'm tired!”Qiao Guoqiang said as he slowly tidied his clothes. "She's my girlfriend. It's not against the law to be intimate with her, right?？”
"Besides, it's not up to the traffic police to care about this!”
“What‘shappened?”Rena looked up and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"They said that we were driving tiredly."
"Did you guys drink?" Feng Li looked at Rena." A foreigner? Show me your visa!"
"I'm an international student!"
"A visa or a residence permit!" Feng Li widened her eyes and placed her right hand on the holster.
"Feng Li, do you have to make things difficult for me?”Qiao Guoqiang asked with his eyes wide open.
"I'm on official duty. Please cooperate!" Feng Li said with a livid face.”
