37 Night in the Treetops
The last trace of sunset dissipated, and only a trace of blue and white remained at the end of the sky, which was the last end of the day.
Chen Yifei sat in the branches on the treetops with his back against the trunk, watching the sky gradually getting darker and silently ecstasy.
Xue Yifei was like a monkey with ADHD, climbing up the treetops with his hands and feet: "Where are you guys? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
The giant tree is too big, even the tops are extremely thick. Sitting in the tree, looking down at the forest and lake, and the life raft with clear heights under your feet, I suddenly felt like I was dominating the world.
"You have found a good place!" Xue Yifei sat next to Chen Yifei, and the cool night wind blew towards him, and he sighed with satisfaction.
Chen Yifei pulled the corner of his mouth: "I didn't think of anything, but suddenly I felt that life was really wonderful. At this time yesterday, I was still full of my mind about how to pull the young lady into the woods. I just sat in this place today, not knowing whether it will be life or death tomorrow..."
Lao Xue's tone was still so cynical: "Youyou, you are young, and you are still feeling emotional? Has the experience of this day made you mature a lot?"
He said frivolously, but he felt in his heart that frustration was indeed a catalyst for growth. If it weren't for the experience of this day and one night, could this kid be honest and thoughtful?
That is not something that should be done at this age. It is the melody of youth that can be immersed in thinking about what to do to attract the attention of female classmates.
This kid is too precocious and doesn't look like a child of this age, and now he's even older.
"That's right... I'm young, it's normal for me to sigh, unlike you, who have experienced so much."
Xue Yifei laughed: "You want to say that I am an old man, just say it, but I have never refused to admit it. It's not that I'm bragging to you, but what girls like the most is a mature and reliable man like me. Don't look at you so young and naive now, sooner or later, you will have to become like me!"
"What do you think? Is it promiscuous?" Chen Yifei laughed, "I don't know!"
"Don't brag so early. If you dare to say this, you can only prove one thing!"
"What?"
"It proves that you are too young and are not an old bird at all!" Xue Yifei laughed.
He added accents to the last two words, an obvious pun.
"Tsk, rare!"
"I'm not convinced?" Lao Xue expressed his thoughts, "Remember what I said today and see what you will become!"
Chen Yifei's face was tender. He was not a match for the old man who talked about such a shameless and promiscuous old man at all. He simply changed the topic: "Why do you still wear sunglasses at night? Rent it?"
Xue Yifei saw through Xiao Chen's intention, but did not expose his thoughts. He followed the tone of a coquettish tone and said, "You don't understand this, I have multi-functional tactical glasses, which are protected from strong light during the day, can have night vision at night, and have infrared vision. I have all the functions you can think of; I have all the glasses; you can't imagine, I have some too!"
"I believe you will have a ghost!"
Xue Yifei was speechless: "When you say that you, I don't take any of you, when I'm not serious, you all think I'm talking nonsense. What's wrong with you? If you have the chance, I'll give you a decent look!"
Comrade Xiao Chen looked surprised: "Is this our problem? Is it your own problem? Is it good? Hey, I have never seen someone as narcissistic as you. Can you be humble? Find the reasons for yourself more often!"
"I am not humble anymore? I am not humble anymore? If you talk nonsense, I will sue you for slandering you, do you know?" Lao Xue retorted half-truth, "I tell you that the truth is often in the hands of a few people. You are the majority who are supporting the foil!"
"Okay, okay!" Chen Yifei sighed, "Isn't it okay if I accept it? Everything you always say is right. Even if you say the sun is square, I will definitely say it is definitely not round. What do you think?"
"Will you finish saying this before..." Halfway through the words, Xue Yifei couldn't help laughing, "You boy, you are getting more and more able to speak!"
Chen Yifei emphasized, "Isn't this what you tutor me?"
It was obviously not a particularly funny thing, but the two of them laughed like a pair of fools. After a while, they stopped while covering their stomachs: "Hey, you are old, you are old and old, come to me so high at night. Isn't it to make me happy?"
Xue Yifei looked up at the sky and found no sign of the strange bird: "Isn't this impossible to find you? I'm afraid you will be stimulated and I won't be able to think about it if you find a short-sighted person!"
Chen Yifei had a black thread: "You are looking for a shortcoming, but your whole family is looking for a shortcoming!"
Lao Xue didn't care at all, and smiled so happily: "Then they have to come back to life first!"
Chen Yifei was stunned: "Old Xue, I'm sorry, I don't know your family..."
"Okay, OK!" Xue Yifei smiled and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, his tone suddenly filled with loneliness. "Don't look like this, it's all about me. It's been many years ago, and I've come out long ago."
Chen Yifei hesitated for a moment and asked carefully: "It is because of this that you have become as sensible as you are now... Well, cynical?"
Xue Yifei pursed his lips: "Part one, the reason is quite complicated. In short, I am a little lucky than you. I have a normal family. I didn't get into college because of being a playful person. After graduating from high school, I went straight to the army. Later, the war broke out. After that, I have never seen my parents again..."
"They... are missing?" Chen Yifei wanted to say that he was killed, but he felt that it was not good to be so direct. Half of the words were changed to a more tactful statement.
Xue Yifei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that they are missing, it's that I'm missing."
"Ah?" Chen Yifei was in a bad mood. What kind of magical twist is this?
"It's incredible, right?" Old Xue looked up at the stars in the night sky, and his thoughts fell into long-standing memories. "The battle I served at that time was called Shihe, which was one of the most advanced warships at that time. When the war was about to end, we were ordered to attack the enemy's nest. Shihe was sunk by the enemy. We were lucky enough to escape, but it was too remote to wait for rescue for a while, and the lifeboat could not fly back. We could only inject hibernation, hoping to have a chance to be saved in the future..."
"What happened later?" Chen Yifei asked.
Lao Xue was silent for a while: "Many of us were saved, but many of us were missing. I was saved. I was lucky. But when they found me, the war had happened a long time ago. My relatives and friends, my family, and everything I knew had become history in the museum... Forget it, let's not mention these, it's getting late, let's go down."
