Chapter 033: Past Events (Part 3)

Perhaps it was the phrase "provided with food, accommodation, clothing, and allowances" that moved Zhao Jianhui.

Zhao Jianhui is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. His current tuition is still paid by the Civil Affairs Bureau. Given his conditions, even if he can get into college, the heavy burden will become a mountain on his shoulders.

The sixteen-year-old Zhao Jianhui got excited and followed the man to the Stone City, which is surrounded by tigers and dragons.

The Military International Relations College, affiliated to the General Staff, is one of the key universities in the country. It is a comprehensive military diplomacy college that integrates command and technology, based on foreign languages, with multiple majors, levels, and specifications. It is an important base for the military to cultivate various professional talents such as international relations, national defense and foreign affairs, military diplomacy, international strategic research, foreign language teachers, troop reconnaissance, technical reconnaissance, aerospace reconnaissance, and special operations command.

In this school, Zhao Jianhui eagerly learned all the knowledge he could learn. In the first two years of the military academy, the idiom "turning a deaf ear to the outside world and focusing on reading the books of sages" best describes Zhao Jianhui's life.

In the third year after Zhao Jianhui arrived at the military academy, he welcomed his eighteenth birthday. There was still a year to graduate, and he was looking forward to the graduation day in his heart, full of happy visions of future life.

It was in the summer after his eighteenth birthday that Zhao Jianhui suddenly had the idea of ​​"going home to visit relatives" during the summer vacation.

The city where the military academy is located is a very famous big city in China. When he walked out of the barracks, he found that the city had changed with each passing day in just over two years. The bright lights, the colorful streets, the dazzling shops and the enthusiastic and open girls had become unfamiliar to him.

In any case, Zhao Jianhui was still as happy as a dove that had been released to take off his military uniform for more than 30 days and walk into the world.

Although there was nothing particularly good in his hometown that he looked forward to, his longing for that land still made him eager to return. After more than ten hours of train ride and two hours of bumpy car ride, Zhao Jianhui returned to his hometown after three years away.

Compared with his memory, the town has not changed much. The streets are still the same. In the past three years, Zhao Jianhui has hardly found anything new except that the buildings beside the streets have become more dilapidated.

Fortunately, the nostalgia for his hometown is still there. Looking at the familiar faces on the street, he feels happy and curious.

After all, this is where he grew up. As for whether it is the place where he was born, Zhao Jianhui himself does not know. After walking along the familiar street for a while, Zhao Jianhui has found the feeling of going home.

Not far ahead is the place where he grew up - the orphanage.

Young girls walk by on the summer street from time to time. Compared with the past, their clothes have changed a lot, adding a bit of gracefulness and enchantment.

In this way, Zhao Jianhui embarked on this journey home that changed his future life.

Then - Li Fen appeared in front of him. She and another girl came from the opposite side.

Strangely, Zhao Jianhui recognized her at first sight. She was no longer the little girl in his memory, but a young girl with youthful energy all over her body. The pair of long legs under the short skirt were so beautiful that he was dazzled.

When Zhao Jianhui stared into her eyes, he found that she was also looking at him, and there was something beyond innocence flashing in her clear eyes.

Something magical in life shocked him. Zhao Jianhui stopped and looked at her motionlessly, as if he saw the most exciting thing in the world.

She also seemed to encounter magic, and looked at Zhao Jianhui quietly. When Zhao Jianhui made the same face he made three years ago, she actually smiled at him.

"Brother, why do you look at Sister Li Fen like this? Do you like her?" Another girl who was directly ignored by Zhao Jianhui came over unhappily, stretched out her white little hand and shook it in front of Zhao Jianhui's eyes, which pulled Zhao Jianhui back to reality from the clouds.

"Hey, you are Xiaoting, when did you come here, why didn't I see you just now?" As Zhao Jianhui said this, Zhao Xiaoting bent over with a giggle while holding her belly, and Li Fen's face was full of red clouds.

At that moment, Zhao Jianhui felt that this girl who had suddenly grown up, like himself, had not forgotten each other in her heart.

Li Fen, with a shy face, reached out and punched Zhao Xiaoting on the shoulder, and ran forward with a blushing face. At the moment when the figures intersected, for some reason, a feeling of loss lingered in Zhao Jianhui's heart.

Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but look back, but was delighted to see that she was also looking back at him. Seeing Zhao Jianhui suddenly look back, she looked at him with some surprise, smiled again, and suddenly turned and ran away.

When she turned around, Zhao Jianhui saw that her face was as red as the sunset.

It was that smile that made Zhao Jianhui's heart feel like it was hit hard, and it was turbulent for a while, and he had all kinds of tastes. Zhao Jianhui was sure that something had struck his heart.

"Brother, do you like Sister Li Fen?" Zhao Xiaoting was a girl who grew up with him in an orphanage. She was two years younger than Zhao Jianhui and had just finished the college entrance examination this year. Since Zhao Jianhui joined the army, she and Li Fen had become good friends who could talk about anything.

"Don't talk nonsense. You are not allowed to fall in love in the army..."

"Hehe, do you think I don't know anything? Soldiers are not allowed to fall in love in the garrison. You are a college student, not a soldier. We are not asking you to find a wife in the garrison. Otherwise, when you graduate, you will find a woman in a big city outside. When you see us, you will be cold and arrogant. How can my brother and sister go to your house? I think Sister Li Fen is very good. If you have that intention, I will talk to her."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Li Fen in the same class as you? She still has to go to college." Zhao Jianhui took a deep breath and said insincerely.

Zhao Xiaoting sighed: "Alas, Sister Li Fen did not take the college entrance examination. She has to go out to work. She came to me today to talk about this matter. Brother, if it weren't for the money you sent back, I wouldn't want to take the exam."

Money, it's all about money. Because of the inability to pay the high tuition fees, I don't know how many people's futures have been delayed.
