Chapter Sixteen: Reuniting with the Old Ones
Chapter 16: Reunion of old friends
Standing in front of my bed was a beautiful female officer. Her two beautiful big eyes were looking at me with tears of excitement. The fitted military uniform highlighted her graceful figure well. Her skin was fair and shiny, her nose was slightly raised, and she showed a bit of cuteness in her heroic spirit. Her body trembled slightly because of her excitement.
I looked at her weakly. After listening to her voice for so many days, I finally saw the real person today. I didn’t expect that I would be amazed at first sight. To be honest, she looked a bit familiar, but I couldn’t remember it after several efforts. It seems that restoring my memory is not something that happened overnight.
The female officer said in a trembling voice:
"Changfeng, you finally woke up..."
After saying that, tears fell down, and then sobbed and said:
"Do you know, I have been worried about you in the past month. I have hardly gone to work at the unit. I stay here every day, just because I am afraid that something will happen to you..."
Although I was moved and couldn't bear it, I asked in a weak voice:
"Sorry, can you tell you who I am? Where am I now? Who am I myself? Why can't I remember anything..."
The female officer opened her mouth in surprise, and she looked at me blankly and asked:
"Changfeng, are you kidding? You really don't know me anymore? I'm Zhong Jie!"
"Zhong Jie..." I recalled this name repeatedly, but I really couldn't remember it. And it seemed that there was another girl's name in my heart. I seemed to be more familiar with that name. Zhong Jie could only have a little impression of it. As for the matter with her, I forgot everything...
Zhong Jie looked at me nervously, hoping that I would remember her, but the expression on my face had already explained everything. Her face suddenly dimmed, and she asked in a low voice:
"You really forgot everything? You can't remember your name?"
I said hesitantly: "I heard you call me Changfeng, that should be my name!"
Zhong Jie shouted excitedly: "I'm asking if you can remember it!"
I shook my head in confusion, and Zhong Jie sat dejectedly on the stool. After a while, she raised her head and said calmly:
"Your name is Lu Changfeng, you are a lieutenant officer in the army. I am your...girlfriend, my name is Zhong Jie."
I shouted: "Girlfriend!"
With this force, the wounds all over my body began to hurt. Seeing my grinning look, Zhong Jie stood up with pain and asked with concern:
"How are you? You just woke up and moved around. Why? Don't you believe I am your girlfriend?"
She showed a coquettish expression when she spoke, her face flushed and very cute. I shook my head in disbelief and said, "I don't know, I can't remember anything now. Maybe you are really my girlfriend! But I have forgotten, and I don't even remember you..."
Zhong Jie said softly: "It doesn't matter. As long as you can recover from health, we have time to cultivate feelings!"
I nodded blankly, and suddenly felt tired again, and I said:
"That... Zhong Jie, I feel a little sleepy. I'll sleep for a while, why don't you go back first!" I'm always a little uncomfortable calling her name, and I don't know why.
Zhong Jie nodded and said, "Then you can rest quickly! I'll see you again in the evening!"
I nodded weakly, and after a while, I fell asleep again...
This time I didn't dream of those scenes of blood and fire. I saw a girl in the whole dream. I still couldn't see her face clearly, but I was definitely not the Zhong Jie today. In the dream, the gentle woman in white clothes smiled sweetly at me. I looked at her smile, as if she was bathed in the spring breeze. We held hands and walked leisurely on a small road together; we snuggled up to each other and stood on the top of the mountain, intoxicated with the night view of a city with brilliant lights; we lingered in a room, hugging each other tightly...
When I woke up from my sleep, I found that I was already in tears. I seemed to have a deep relationship with a girl. Although I could only dream of one scene after another every time I dreamed, and I could never uncover the invisible veil on the girl's face, but I can be sure that this girl is definitely not Zhong Jie, and the charm of the two of them is completely different.
Actually, I know that it’s not that I can’t see the girl’s face clearly in my dreams, but because there is no specific image of this girl in my memory, so that such a situation occurs when dreaming, but who is she? I always feel that there is a name in my heart that is very familiar, but I just can’t call it. Could it be her? If Zhong Jie is my girlfriend, what is the relationship between this girl and me?
I was lying on the bed thinking about it when the door of the ward suddenly opened. Zhong Jie led an energetic old man in. The old man was also wearing military uniforms, and the rank of an admiral was hanging on his shoulders. His hair was gray, but he looked very energetic, and his whole body exuded a compelling momentum. I knew that only those in high positions would have such momentum.
Seeing that I was awake, Zhong Jie said to the old man:
"Grandpa, Changfeng can't remember anything now. The doctor said that his brain may have been seriously damaged, which leads to amnesia and may recover soon, but it may also... he will never remember what happened before in his lifetime..."
The last sentence she lowered her voice, but it was strange that I could still hear it clearly. In fact, I had known the reason for my amnesia for a long time. It must have been what the man who came last time said, let's go on a dangerous and abnormal task together, and then in an explosion, I was seriously injured and almost died. As for whether I would never remember the past for the rest of my life, I am not very concerned about it now. The question that troubles me now is: Is Zhong Jie my girlfriend? Why does another girl often appear in my dreams? I believe that if this problem is understood, my memory will likely be restored.
Zhong Jie whispered to the old general: "Grandpa, you must be mentally prepared. He is likely not to know you..."
The general nodded, walked to my bed, and asked kindly:
"Changfeng, do you still remember me? I am your grandfather!"
I thought about it hard, my mind was almost exploded, but I couldn't remember it. I shook my head dejectedly and said:
"I don't remember it, I don't remember it, now my mind is in chaos..."
Zhong Jie stepped forward and said:
"Changfeng, don't worry, in front of you is my grandfather, and the deputy general of the headquarters, General Zhong Dingchen. You used to call him grandfather..."
After saying that, her face turned red and seemed very embarrassed. I thought in confusion: I also call him grandpa? Could it be that Zhong Jie is really my girlfriend, and we have all met each other's parents?
I looked at General Zhong with inquiring eyes. He smiled kindly and said:
"Yes! Changfeng! You are still in military academy, so call me grandpa."
I turned my gaze to Zhong Jie, she lowered her head shyly, and then grandpa continued:
"Haha, time passes so quickly. You have graduated for so long, and the first time... I suffered such a serious injury. Looking back at the beginning, Xiao Jie was still unwilling to call you..."
Zhong Jie suddenly interrupted her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, why did it do in the past? Changfeng has slowly improved now, but he has just lost his memory for the time being."
Grandpa laughed and said, "Okay! OK! OK! Don't say it anymore, Changfeng, you can recover from your injuries. Someone may talk to you in two days. Remember, no matter what he said, you must keep it firmly in your heart. I will arrange the future for you."
I nodded and said, "I understand, thank you grandpa!"
It's easy to call him grandpa, but I always feel a little awkward to Zhong Jie's identity, but now that the parents have come out, I can't help but believe it...
After my grandfather said a few words to me, he said goodbye in a hurry. It seemed that the chief was really busy at work. He left Zhong Jie and I in the ward, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. I coughed dryly and said:
"Zhong Jie... tell me more about our past events! Maybe it will help me restore my memory..."
Zhong Jie whispered: "What's there to say about the past? The most important thing is that now, now you are by my side, that's enough. If you forget about the past, let him forget about it..."
I have been unable to understand why she is reluctant to mention the past. Did I have had conflicts with her before I lost my memory? Or is there anything that I cannot let me know?
I thought about it and then asked:
"Then... can you tell me some of my basic situation? I now know that my name is Lu Changfeng, and I don't remember the others..."
Zhong Jie said: "Didn't I tell you? You are a PLA officer, rank lieutenant, and have a girlfriend named Zhong Jie...hehehe!"
After saying that, she smiled mischievously, and I admitted that she smiled very well, just like when I opened my eyes and saw her, which made me feel amazing. But there was no such intimacy between lovers...
I said, "That's all? Then which unit do I work in? What's the unit number? Where is the station?"
Zhong Jie said: "Someone will talk to you about these work matters, so don't ask so much, just recover from the injury! There are still some things in my unit, so I won't disturb you to rest!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry as if he was running away. I looked at her almost fleeing back and shook her head strangely. I was puzzled. It seemed that Zhong Jie was hiding something from me, giving me a very mysterious feeling.
For two consecutive days, Zhong Jie didn't come to the hospital, but my body recovered rapidly. Now I finally had less time to sleep than I woke up. I asked the nurse who changed the dressings for me, why did Zhong Jie not come here in the past two days, and she didn't know, so I had to lie on the bed bored and stare at the ceiling in a daze. Without Zhong Jie coming to accompany me, I was really lonely.
Just when I was drowsy, someone suddenly knocked on the door. I thought to myself: What little girl Zhong Jie actually knows how to knock on the door today?
I don’t know why, but I always unconsciously treat her like my sister. I think it would be great if I had such a cute sister, but I am a girlfriend! I always feel a little short of it...
I said, "Please come in!"
The door was pushed open, but not Zhong Jie, but a colonel officer, with a tall and strong figure, a dark face, and a strong sense of military spirit all over his body. After he came in, he locked the door with his backhand, then walked to my bed and said:
"Major Lu Changfeng! Do you still remember me?"
I said in surprise: "I'm sorry, my friend told me that my rank is Lieutenant, Army Lieutenant!"
The colonel's face darkened and said:
"It seems that you still haven't gotten like this. Okay, I was ordered to talk to you today. I used to be your superior and instructor. Today we will get to know each other again, I, Lei Jun, the leader of the shadow group of the Chinese People's Liberation Army! The rank of colonel."
He glanced at me and continued:
"And you are the best one among the new group members of our shadow group. Since you have lost your memory, I need to emphasize discipline again. We are a highly confidential unit. Today's conversation must be absolutely confidential. Even the closest people around you cannot say it, do you know?"
I suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar, in the ward, Lei Jun, kept it secret... I tried my best to find the memories hidden in the depths of my brain, and my eyes became a little confused.
Lei Jun saw my appearance and asked, "Lu Changfeng, what are you thinking? Are you okay?"
As soon as he asked, I suddenly came to my senses. I wanted to recall the only feeling that there was no trace. I sighed and said:
"It's nothing, sorry, I'm distracted. I will abide by the confidentiality issue you mentioned! Please rest assured!"
Lei Jun nodded, briefly introduced the situation of the shadow group to me, and then continued:
"You were ordered to go to Japan for a mission more than a month ago. During the mission, you were plotted by a traitor, two shadows were killed, and the others were injured to varying degrees, and yours was the worst."
I nodded, and I basically inferred these situations, I asked:
"So... have we completed this mission?"
Lei Jun glanced at me strangely and said, "You shot the target by yourself, you really have no impression of it?"
I nodded helplessly. Lei Jun sighed and continued:
"The organization sent me here this time, mainly to explain a few things to you, and to ask for your own opinions on some questions."
I nodded and Lei Jun said:
"Although you successfully completed the task this time, there is also a problem. When you found out that you were in danger, you were already in danger, so you were sent to a local hospital nearby. In addition, you were transferred to 301 Hospital. In this way, many people know about your injuries. Moreover, you have been recuperating for a long time. Your respective units also need to give a reason. Therefore, you may arrange other reasons for you, and your cooperation is required at that time."
I nodded and said, "I understand!"
Lei Jun continued: "There is also your situation special, so I'll ask for your opinion. After the injury is healed, will you be willing to go back to your original unit or stay in Beijing nearby?"
I thought about it and said, "I can't remember anything now, and I can't even remember where my previous unit was, so... can I give me some time to consider this issue?"
Lei Jun nodded and said, "No problem, you are a great hero of the shadow! Are there any difficulties that we need to solve?"
I said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm pretty good now..."
Lei Jun nodded and said, "Okay, you can rest first. I will come to you again if there is anything to recover from it!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving me lying on the bed blankly. It turned out that I was still a major! I guess even Zhong Jie didn't know my true identity, but my grandfather probably knew a little. After a while of random thought, I fell asleep in a daze again.
The next morning, I woke up for a while, someone knocked on the door, and I thought to myself:
"It must be Zhong Jie this time, right? I haven't been here for three days..."
I thought, shouting, "Come in!"
Chapter completed!
