Chapter 36: You Are My Eagle (6)

  A long time later, when Xiao Lie thought back to that scene, he was still moved. When the sun shone on the earth, a figure appeared from the horizon - a white horse. Kasha wore a long dress with strong ethnic characteristics, with a red belt around her waist and a cowboy hat on her head. She rode the horse at full speed towards Xiao Lie. Thirty meters away from him, she pulled hard on the reins, and the horse stopped suddenly. On its back, Kasha smiled at Xiao Lie, got off the horse, and ran happily towards him.

  The cheetah may have seen Kasha, and it even wagged its tail at Kasha. Later, Xiao Lie only knew that it had been bribed by a bone long ago.

  Xiao Lie felt his heart start to beat violently, his breathing also became urgent, he even forgot that he should warn himself, his heart was filled with expectation, tension, and joy, as if she was a part of him. She was just a part of him that had returned, everything was complete now.

  When Kasha hugged Xiao Lie tightly, all her previous thoughts vanished instantly.

  "I miss you," Kassari said.

  If Xiao Lie had used a huge dam to block all his love for Kasha just one second ago, trying to prevent the world from seeing what was in the water, now Kasha's three words were like a shell that blasted open a huge gap in the dam, and instantly the floodwaters poured out, drowning his strong forest.

  "I miss you too," Xiao Lie said.

  It was as if there were only the two of them in the world, with no sorrow, sadness, or despair. The world was left with only sweetness. That night, they planted a seed, and now that seed has grown into a towering tree in the young man's heart.

  It wasn't until a loud explosion that the two people were separated. Xiao Lie, who was familiar with the sound of the explosion, knew it was the sound of a shell exploding.

  After separating from Kasha, her face turned red with embarrassment when she saw Xiao Lie again.

  "I've brought you something to eat," said Katerina.

  "Uh, don't bring food next time, or else the comrades will find out. For now, I'm still a volunteer soldier, we have rules, during our service period, we can't fall in love, can't visit relatives, and especially can't fall in love with local female comrades." Xiao Lie said quietly.

  "Then let's whisper."

  Xiao Lie was silent for a long time after hearing this, the passion from earlier had gradually dissipated, and now he thought of his purpose for coming here. He regretted being reckless earlier and there were some things that couldn't be said out loud.

  "I know what you mean." Kasha saw Xiao Lie and seemed to have something on her mind, so she said softly: "I don't know what you're thinking, but I like you."

  When he heard Kasha say that, Xiao Lie felt even more guilty. Then he straightened his body with effort, raised his head and chest, looked forward, with a sacred and inviolable expression of a sentry, knowing that he could no longer be soft, otherwise both people would get hurt in the end.

  "I'll dance one for you," said Kashaari.

  Xiao Lie didn't speak. But Kasha Liang lightly jumped up and started a slow dance, Xiao Lie who had never understood the meaning of dance also looked a bit stunned, when his heart was once again slightly softened, he bit the tip of his tongue, asking himself why? Because what?

  "Sorry, I don't like you," Xiao Lie said.

  Although he didn't say it very loudly, it was enough for Kasha to hear. Within these two hours, the two of them went from the passion of their first meeting, to Xiao Ran's rationality, then Kasha's tenderness, and finally Xiao Lie's determination. It was as if they had experienced all the emotions in the world within these two hours, from spring to summer to autumn, and finally the coldness of winter. Time won't stop like flowing water, even if you want it to. Memories can't be recorded like a cassette tape, to be savored later. All food will expire, and love is also ironic.

  "I like you." Kassandra said firmly: "You also like me, that's enough already."

  Xiao Lie didn't know that behind Qiaoli's seemingly strong appearance, she was actually fragile. Sometimes, being cheerful required a lot of courage, even when crying, she had to put on a smiling face. Xiao Lie also didn't know that for today's meeting, Qiaoli hadn't slept all night yesterday. This was the most important thing, with emotions of tension, excitement, and anticipation intertwined together. She imagined how she would smile, what kind of clothes she should wear, what color he liked, and what her first words should be. She imagined countless scenarios, with thoughts fluctuating until dawn.

  As she rode her beloved white horse towards the sun, with the first rays of morning sunlight, the air carried clarity and a hint of chilliness, she rushed towards him.

  Horse, run quickly and take me far away.

  Little horse, don't stop, take me to see my lover.

  When she saw the familiar sentry post on the other side of the horizon, his figure was there, straight and firm. She was a little dazed, her breathing uncontrollable, and with just dozens of meters left, she couldn't wait any longer. Then she dismounted and ran towards him. There would be no more dreams, because he was right in front of her.

  At that moment, all greetings, words, and excitement condensed into three words: I miss you.

  However, it was only later that he realized he still couldn't be with himself. How could his boundless pride allow him to see his own weakness?

  Xiao Lie watched as Kasha left, feeling as if he had just woken up from a dream. The only thing that proved it wasn't a dream was the bag of food beside him. He looked up at the sky, almost noon, and soon someone would come to relieve his shift. He shook his head and put the bag into the sentry post.

  Xiao Lie returned to the base without his usual passion, feeling like something was stuck in his chest, wanting to vent, and then he walked onto the training field with his equipment.

  "Today Xiao Lie's state is a bit off, that sandbag seems to have a grudge against him, hitting so hard." Tang Fei said, leaning against the door.

  "These past few days he's indeed been off, for example, like the sausages he brought back today." Gu Yu said.

  "He rejected her." Li Xiaoqiao said with certainty.

  "Never mind, it's their business, you know?"

  "If he hadn't rejected her, then he should be happy, but he likes her yet can't be with her, of course he could only reject her. It's strange that his mood is good at this time." Li Xiaoqiao analyzed.

  Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that this made sense. Even if they refused anyone, it was estimated that everyone on the entire base would understand. That day, Kasha looked at Xiao Lie's eyes and didn't say anything, but even the people beside him could feel the heat.

  "Xiao Lie, you have a package." The head of the communications class called out.

  Xiao Lie, who was doing pull-ups, stopped and wondered if he had misheard. Did he have a package? It seemed like no one knew he was here. Was it Xu Jia Dai? No way, he hadn't even written the address on his last letter. It wasn't until the communications squad leader called out Xiao Lie's name again that Xiao Lie confirmed it was really for him, because in the entire base, only he was named Xiao Lie, and there was no second person with that name.

  When Xiao Lie took out a heavy package wrapped in cowhide paper from the communication class, he saw a line of beautiful characters. He immediately confirmed that this was sent by a woman. He tried hard to recall the females he knew in his mind, honestly, he couldn't remember any, if he couldn't remember then it didn't exist.

  With such curiosity, he returned to the dormitory and opened the package wrapped in kraft paper. Inside, there was a box containing three catties of hawthorn slices, a box of soft candies, and a book - a collection of Song Dynasty poetry. Although there was no evidence of who sent it, when he saw these things, he suddenly thought of Li Qiuyue. He remembered that when she left, she had asked him what he liked, and he had told her hawthorn slices, soft candies, and Song poetry. Xiao Lie felt an indescribable taste in his heart.

  In the squad, there was an unwritten rule that if anyone had something to eat, it would be shared equally among everyone, so this time Xiao Lie's things were also divided up.

  Xiao Lie flipped through a few pages of Song lyrics and finally saw a card in the book, which read: Little brother, take care of yourself. Sister.

  Dizzy, when did I acknowledge a sister? It seems that this guy is still familiar with himself. Of course, it's not bad to have a sister, it feels like having a family member.

  If we were to evaluate who was the happiest person in the team that year, I estimate that all the officers and soldiers would vote for Xiao Lie. The reason is simple: he has a Russian girlfriend who likes him, and a sister who cares about him. This kind of thing can make any man have some thoughts.

  Hehe, men will be men, you know what I mean.

  For this reason, there was such a conversation in a certain office of the company.

  "Commander Lian, you should know what's been going on these past few days?"

  "What's wrong?"

  "There seems to be some kind of relationship between our classmate and that girl from the nearby town."

  "Oh, really? I didn't know."

  "Are you afraid of what others might say?"

  "What do you mean? You didn't care about it either, turning a blind eye. Now you're speaking up, and it's almost been half a month."

  “#￥%……—*（）”

  "Haha, anyone who's not satisfied can find one themselves! Do you still remember Old Six? When we went home for a blind date, as soon as the other side heard that we were demolition soldiers, they immediately disappeared."

  "It's true, it's not easy."

  Xiao Lie didn't know why every time he was on duty, Kasha Li would arrive on time, but when other soldiers were on duty, he had never seen him come. At that time, the number of times he was on duty in the schedule had increased significantly. One time, he casually asked Wei Qidong, and Wei Qidong replied very officially: "Superior task, resolute execution."

  After that, Xiao Lie didn't ask anymore. Since then, Kasha Li hasn't hugged Xiao Lie again, and the two of them don't talk much either. Sometimes, when Xiao Lie is standing guard, she just stares at him blankly from the side; sometimes she dances and sings for him.

  One day when Xiao Lie was on duty, Kasha Li came, and this time she was deeply troubled.
