  Another year of snowflakes fluttering, another Christmas has arrived! Tian San is here too, joining in the excitement, specially updating two chapters to make readers happy for a night!!! However, there should be more flowers too!!!! Collection should keep up too!!!! Correct and get on the recommended list soon!!!!!

  I love you all...

  Looking at that familiar phone number, Tian San's tears somehow flowed out uncontrollably. It turned out that he had never had such thoughts about that place, a place called home.

  "Hello...... Mom......", he answered his mother's phone call. Tian San suppressed the sound of his own sobbing and remained calm.

  "Hey, did Mom's phone call disturb your rest?"

  "No way! I just got back!" Tian San said as he walked into the corridor and leaned against the wall.

  "Training is so hard? How come it's already past 10 o'clock, and you've just finished training!" Hearing that her son had only just returned to the dormitory at this time, his mother almost burst into tears. Ever since Tian San left a week ago, she has felt like each day was as long as a year. The child who used to be so mischievous and worry her was suddenly not by her side, and it really didn't feel right.

  "It's nothing, not training, it's... a gathering for new classmates, everyone is playing on the playground", Tian San said while gently rubbing his sore legs, and had to hold back his longing for his mother.

  "Oh, don't play too late, go to bed early. By the way... when are you on vacation? Your dad doesn't say anything all day, but I know how much he misses you. When he misses you, he smokes a cigarette and sits in the yard without saying a word." As she spoke, Tian San heard his mother's soft sobbing.

  At this moment, Tian San realized how unfilial he had been in the past.

  It wasn't until he was away from home for too long that he realized how warm it was. Tian San was afraid that if he couldn't hold back his tears, it would make his mom even more heartbroken, so he quickly said that everyone in the dorm had to go to sleep and hung up the phone.

  A person, leaning against the wall, looked up to see the moon hanging in the sky. Tian San's thoughts were filled with scenes of his home, where there were people, water and mountains. Perhaps he was too nostalgic, tears slowly flowed down, and from his pocket he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. Alone at night, he puffed out smoke rings, perhaps this way, his nostalgia would dissipate like smoke.

  "Hey! Why aren't you sleeping yet!" Feng Liping's sudden appearance didn't scare Tian San, he just turned his head to look at her and continued smoking.

  "You can't even hear me speaking, and you're still not learning your lesson! You may not be old, but your smoking habit is!" Tian San had just finished one cigarette and was about to light another when Feng Liping quickly snatched the cigarette from him and threw it into the drainage ditch below.

  Tian San didn't react at all, he glanced at the lighter in his hand and casually threw it into the drain. In fact, he knew that there wasn't much money at home, but he still tried to satisfy his demand for money. Actually, he didn't like smoking that much either, he was just pretending to be a bit mature.

  Feng Liping did not expect Tian San to be so calm, which was completely different from the usual Tian San. Moreover, her purpose in coming over was to let the usually repressed Tian San vent his emotions. But she didn't expect Tian San to be so calm.

  "Feng Lianchang, what are you doing still hanging around our boys' dorm so late?" Tian San said, looking up at the moon.

  "That... isn't it time for bed check?" Feng Liping said, standing beside Tian San and also looking up at the moon.

  "I know the squad is checking dorms, but isn't this a school? And another thing... don't you have male cadres? Why did you let a female student come over?" Tian San said, not looking at Feng Lihong.

  "You're talking about Liu Jian? He has his own things to do, in the army everyone has their own tasks to complete and they must obey. Besides, the National Defense students at Beidai University are under semi-militarized management, everything is done according to military rules, except for attending classes, everything else is just like in the army," Feng Liping said, looking at Tian San who was quietly gazing at the moon, she had just overheard Tian San's phone call with his mom.

  "What's the point of this university then? Can't have fun, can't have freedom, might as well just go to the army directly", Tian San still didn't lower his head.

  "It is now an era of technological informationization. The Kosovo War in 1991 has already declared that traditional warfare will be replaced by informatized warfare..."

  "Don't mention such distant things, I wasn't even born then," Tian San interrupted Feng Liping's words, this sentence also made Feng Liping laugh, but he remained very calm.

  "Oh... is that, are you homesick?" Feng Liping found that there was nothing more to say on the topic, so she directly said what she wanted to say.

  "Hmm! The me of the past wanted to escape that place, but this time I really left. When I received my mom's phone call, I missed it again. And... when I heard my mom almost crying, my heart ached." Tian San, who had always been calm, choked back tears and they flowed out anyway.

  Feng Liping didn't say a word, she understood this feeling, wasn't she also away from home for over a month? She came to Xida University, but still hadn't made a call back home on her own initiative. She also clearly remembered the day she left home, her mother's busy and distracted appearance, and her father sitting silently on the sofa reading the newspaper.

  That day, she still remembered her mother questioning her father why the daughter had to leave, and he didn't want to say anything. Her father's answer was also very simple: "I am a soldier, she is also a soldier, do we need to say anything? As soldiers, following orders is our duty!" Her father's words were calm, but every word made Feng Liping feel pressure.

  It's really been a month since I left home, Feng Liping took out her phone, flipped through her mom's number, but her finger stayed on the dial button, not daring to press it. She knew that if she heard her mother's voice, she would definitely cry, but at the same time, she was homesick.

  Hesitating for a moment, Tian San pressed the dial button. Feng Liping reacted and quickly tried to hang up, but it was too late...

  "Hello? Feng Li Ping?" On the other end of the phone was her mother's familiar voice, and Feng Li Ping slowly put the receiver to her ear.

  "Hey mom, how have you been lately?"

  "Great! I was just thinking of you. I mentioned you to your dad earlier and thought of giving you a call, didn't expect you to call me instead. How's it going? Is work tiring?"

  "It's not hard! Director Zhao takes good care of me, basically doesn't let me do anything, just lets me work on materials all day and doesn't even let me go out to get some sun!" Feng Liping said with a smile, while Tian San listened beside her, only letting out a snort.

  This laugh was overheard by Feng's mom on the other end of the phone, "Ping'er? Why do I hear a man laughing? Is that your boyfriend? Bring him over to meet me during Chinese New Year!"

  Feng Liping didn't know why her mother was so concerned about her boyfriend, but she had to explain quickly, otherwise she would be bothered to death later: "No! I'm watching TV!" After finishing speaking, Tian San wanted to laugh again, and she hurriedly raised her hand to cover Tian San's mouth.

  "Oh... I see. Why don't you go talk to Dad for a bit? He's right next to me reading the newspaper! Come on, old man!"

  Feng Liping didn't know what her mood was at this moment, she had been looking forward to talking to her dad, but she knew what answer she would get. As expected, her dad calmly said: "What's there to talk about? Don't disturb me while I'm reading the newspaper." She smiled and told her mom: "Don't bother him, you should rest early too, I still have things to do here, so I'll hang up first," after saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for her mom's response.

  Tian San felt like he was going to die, and hurriedly pried open Feng Liping's hands that were pressed tightly against his face, gasping for air in big gulps.

  "I said... you eavesdropped on my phone call and I didn't even mind, but now you're trying to shut me up by covering my mouth yourself! If you don't let go, I'll be killed by you!"

  "Who made you laugh out for no reason! My reputation was almost ruined by you again!" Feng Liping muttered to herself, and then let out a long sigh. She sighed that her father still didn't want to talk to her, and she didn't know when she could make him satisfied.

  "Ruined? I just heard your mom mention something about a boyfriend, coming back home for Chinese New Year..."

  "How dare you say that! My mom told me to send you back home during the New Year and let her take care of it. Cut it out! You little brat, I'm not playing a sibling romance with you!"

  "Of course! I think it's possible! As the saying goes, 'a woman at thirty is worth her weight in gold', isn't my dream of getting rich one step closer? Haha!" Tian San's words also somehow adjusted his mood and made Feng Liping laugh too. Feng Liping didn't know why she was so easily amused by Tian San, or why she was so easily influenced by him.

  "Alright! Let's keep our homesickness to ourselves, shall we? You need to adjust your mindset, and I do too. Tomorrow morning at 6:30, when you hear my whistle, follow the national defense students quickly to assemble downstairs for exercise! Wear camouflage, tie your belt, and wear a hat!"

  Looking at Feng Leping's back as she turned and left, Tian San thought to himself, how could this woman change so quickly? Just a moment ago, she was still a pitiful girl, but now she had become an iron-faced instructor. He couldn't help but sigh, looked up at the moon, stretched his neck to look at the smoke in the drain, "Alas... wasted again!"
