"You're like the fire in winter, the fire lights up me
You're like the fire in winter. The raging flame warms me…"
In the room, the old radio was playing Fei Xiang's classic song," A Fire in Winter."
Chen Ming listened to the music and fell asleep. Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
He was a little puzzled. He got out of bed and opened the door.
Outside the door, Xu Jinfu saluted him and said anxiously,"Chief A, a soldier has severe ankylosing vertebra and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately!”
Hearing this, Chen Ming's expression instantly became solemn. He returned to his room and put on his military uniform. He said to Xu Jinfu,"Bring me there!"
"Yes, sir!" Xu Jinfu quickly led the way.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the dormitory.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Chen Ming saw Gong Tian lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He turned to the other soldiers in the room and asked,""What happened to him?"
"Chief, he seemed to have fainted from the pain!" A soldier replied.”
"Two men, take him to the military hospital!”Chen Ming waved his hand.
Half an hour later, Gong Tian was sent to the nearest military hospital.
Chen Ming and Xu Jinfu sat quietly on the chairs outside the operating room.
The incandescent lights in the hospital corridor shone on their faces.
Xu Jinfu remained silent. Chen Ming took out a pack of Hongtashan soft cigarettes and put it in his mouth. He lit it up with a lighter and took a light breath, slowly exhaling white smoke.
After Chen Ming finished his cigarette, Xu Jinfu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said,""Chief A, I have a presumptuous request!”
Chen Ming glanced at him." Since it's a presumptuous request, then don't say it. I won't agree to it anyway!”
Xu Jinfu choked and fell silent again.
Chen Ming asked first," Are you trying to plead for Gong Tian to return to the special forces after the surgery?”
Xu Jinfu nodded.
Chen Ming threw the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him and continued,"If I agree to your request, then I will be breaking the rules of the special forces selection. Besides, spinal inflammation is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. Even if he becomes a special forces soldier, who will be responsible for the consequences if his illness suddenly acts up one day on the battlefield and delays the entire special forces operation?”
Hearing Chen Ming's words, Xu Jinfu smiled bitterly.""Chief, I didn't think about this. I just feel sorry for him. Gong Tian really wants to be a special forces soldier. He even endured his illness and asked me not to tell anyone!”
"When he wakes up and finds out that he has been eliminated, he will probably hate me to death!”Xu Jinfu said with a dim look in his eyes.
"Kid, don't worry, he won't hate you!”Chen Ming comforted her.
Xu Jinfu was stunned." How is that possible?!" I was the one who told him about his illness and caused him to be eliminated. Moreover, he had already threatened me before. As long as I reported his condition to you, he would treat me as an enemy for the rest of his life!”
"That was just his angry words!" Chen Ming patted Xu Jinfu's shoulder.""Even if he finds out that he has been eliminated, he will only hate himself for getting this disease. He will not accommodate you. He knows in his heart that you have good intentions for him!”
At this moment, the door light of the operating theater turned from red to green.
The door opened, and the doctor and nurse walked out.
Chen Ming got up from his seat and asked the doctor,""How is he?"
"Chief A, it's a good thing you sent him here in time. If it was a little later, he would have been paralyzed in bed in his next life.”The doctor turned around and left after saying that.
"Let's go in!" Chen Ming waved at Xu Jinfu.
Xu Jinfu hesitated for a moment before following Chen Ming in.
On the bed in the operating room, Gong Tian, who was wearing a patient's gown, was staring out of the window in a daze. When he saw Chen Ming enter, he immediately saluted."First Ace, good job!"
Chen Ming nodded and sat down on the stool beside the bed. He asked,""Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Chief A. It doesn't hurt for now!”Gong Tian replied.
"Alright, you can recuperate in the hospital for the next few days. After you recover, you can return to the old army!”Chen Ming said.
Gong Tian nodded.
Even though he knew that he had been eliminated, his expression was unexpectedly calm.
At this moment, he saw Xu Jinfu standing behind Chen Ming with a nervous expression. He smiled and said,""Health worker, why are you so far away? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?”
Xu Jinfu walked over with an embarrassed expression and asked, Gong Tian, don't you blame me?"
"Why would I blame you? I was just saying that out of anger!”" I can only blame my body for failing." Gong Tian laughed." Besides, the doctor just told me that if I was sent here a little later, I would be paralyzed in bed in the next life!"”
"Health worker, thank you so much!”
Hearing Gong Tian's words of thanks, Xu Jinfu felt a lump in his throat and his eyes became moist. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and smiled heartlessly."What's there to thank me for? I'm a health worker. It's my duty to save lives!”
After the three of them chatted for a while, Chen Ming left with Xu Jinfu.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Jinfu took a deep breath and turned to Chen Ming to thank him."Chief A, thank you!"
"Why are you thanking me?" Chen Ming raised his eyebrows.
"If it weren't for what you said, I wouldn't have the courage to go into the operating room to see him!”Xu Jinfu sighed,"If I miss this opportunity to reconcile, this matter will probably become a knot in my heart forever!"”
"Kid, don't think too much at such a young age. It's getting late. I'll send you back. Be careful not to be eliminated tomorrow!”Chen Ming patted Xu Jinfu's back and got into the jeep parked at the entrance of the hospital.
"Chief A, I want to be a member of the special forces, and I want to be a ghost of the special forces. I will definitely not be eliminated!”Xu Jinfu chuckled and sat in the front passenger seat.
"Chief A, why don't I drive? You can sit in the passenger seat and smoke!”
"Even if you try to please me, I won't go easy on you. Besides, do you know how to drive?”
"Don't worry, Chief. He's definitely an experienced driver.”
