Chapter 22: Those Dreams

Because Chen Ziyan and Jia Shasha helped solve the case, the police station sent a letter of commendation the next day. Therefore, at the plenary meeting on this incident, the two were also commended by the school and the military, and they were awarded

got the certificate.

For a time, the original private remarks against Chen Ziyan also became less frequent.

Chen Ziyan seemed to be touched by what Qiao Yu said before leaving, so when he met Lin Xibei again, he confessed his thoughts and apologies.

Lin Xibei looked a little unhappy after hearing his thoughts, but she still accepted his apology, and soon the two of them resumed their previous relationship, and the few words they had originally had disappeared immediately.

As for Chen Ziyan's roommates, they have begun to get used to his temperament. Under the leadership of Cheng Lei, the peacemaker, the atmosphere has become more and more harmonious.

Wu Yue, on the other hand, dodges Chen Ziyan for some reason and is no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Jia Shasha originally wanted to deepen her friendship with classmates, but when she saw Chen Ziyan's lukewarm appearance, she simply didn't bother to care about him because of the girl's temperament.

This made Chen Ziyan spend a small amount of time with his roommates, and the rest of the time he was always alone.

But perhaps it was this gesture that made many girls start to pay attention to him. Love letters came from time to time through the hands of Cheng Lei and others, while Chen Ziyan threw them into the trash can without even looking at them.

Cheng Lei wailed at this, lamenting whether this was justified, while the other people all gave Chen Ziyan a thumbs up. After all, as a man, it is always a matter of pride to receive a love letter from a girl.

.

In the following days, military training management regulations became more stringent, and training almost ran from morning to night. Tired students would fall asleep when they returned to the dormitory, and they were miserable.

Fortunately, this military training only lasted for a month, so on the night when the military training ended, the whole dormitory was in an uproar. The new instructors rarely let go of their usual seriousness, smoked, played cards, and chatted with the students about the past.

The next day, after the last morning exercise, all the students saluted the instructors with a military salute, and then got on the bus one by one under the gaze of the instructors.

In the car, some girls were reluctant to say goodbye and shed tears silently, while the boys all looked a little more mature.

That night, Lian Feng fulfilled his agreement and made a reservation at a good restaurant.

"Zi Yan, here's a toast to you!" Lian Feng's face was red from drinking, but he still shouted loudly.

Chen Ziyan picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, his face reddening.

"Haha, it's so fun. I didn't realize it. Chen Ziyan, you are such a good drinker." Cheng Lei filled the wine for the two of them, his face glowing red.

Picking up a portion of duck blood from the hot pot, Cheng Lei swallowed it wholeheartedly, then took the wine glass in his hand and drank half of it in one gulp: "Brothers, do you know, before I met Yang Li, I was in college for the last time

All I wanted was to live a peaceful life, but damn, the first time I saw Yang Li, I couldn’t hold it in anymore. You guys always laughed at me and said that I just fell in love with her breasts. What the hell?

That’s nonsense, is that a matter of breasts?”

Taking out a piece of mutton again and stuffing it into his mouth, Cheng Lei raised his head and drank the remaining half glass of wine.

"Yes, it's not about the breasts, it's about the face." Hange laughed at ease and joked.

"Nonsense, it's obviously that figure. I have to say, that damn fat man has really good eyesight. Today I saw Yang Li wearing a tight suit. Oh, let me go. That's the temptation of nakedness." He ate in the bowl before scooping it up. When the fish balls came out, Chen Hao winked at Han Ge.

"You are a dead Taoist priest, your six roots are impure. Why do you imitate that Taoist priest every day? Can you just look at my woman? No, you are in need of a drink. Come on, who will drink first today? Who is the grandson?"

Cheng Lei directly picked up a whole bottle of beer with a provocative look on his face.

"Oh, who's afraid of who? Come on, just blow!" Holding the whole bottle of beer, Chen Hao raised his head, his Adam's apple rolled, and the wine in the bottle gurgled into his stomach.

Zhou Xiaopeng was not a good drinker and was already dizzy. He kept stuffing things into his mouth, his eyes were a little blurred, as if Cheng Lei's words had brought back memories. After the two of them drank a bottle of wine, , also slowly opened his mouth, "The place where I live is a small village, which is quite poor, so most of the children drop out of school very early to help the family with some farm work, and some even never go to school at all. My father left early. Logically speaking, I should also help my mother, but she disagreed and said that she must study hard to be successful. I couldn't resist her, so I had to study hard. Later, after the college entrance examination results came out, my mother said that she likes to see those in uniforms. The policeman said he was handsome, so I signed up for the police academy. I actually didn’t know what I could do, but I just wanted to put on that outfit and show my mother when I got home, her son can do it!”

As he spoke, the tall and thick man shed tears unconsciously, and finally raised the wine glass in his hand: "Fuck me, I feel uncomfortable."

The wine glasses collided, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy for a moment. Hange put his arm around his shoulders and spoke: "Daniu, except for what is destined by God, the rest depends on hard work. I believe you can do it, and there are... The situation in my family is fine. If you really need me one day, just say it. Actually, I feel ashamed to say it. I have never thought about the police, but the older generation in my family always say that businessmen are not as good as officials, so I must be there. I want to pursue an official career, but you think, in this world, it is not that easy to be a high official, so I actually have no choice but to follow the route they planned for me, but I am not bragging, if the country really needs me that day, Then we are also a strong and strong man."

Patting his chest, Hange picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Han Laosi, actually, brother, I have the same idea as you. I like these strange arts, but you also know that feudal superstition is unreliable. Even if there are such capable people, they are either living in seclusion or being raised by the state. Where can I go? I’m going to become a disciple, so since I can’t get rid of evil ghosts, I thought it would be the same to get rid of evil people.”

"Hey, Taoist priest, your idea is really weird."

Lian Feng took a sip of wine and ate a bite of peanuts: "Before I came to the police academy, I thought that if I could be a policeman and eat public food, my life would be stable. But to be honest, I am timid. Just because you described the dead man's appearance, I was so scared. Now I regret it, but regret is of no use, so I think if possible, I will just be a clerk in the future and work as a copywriter in the bureau."

After hearing this, Cheng Lei patted his shoulder: "Mom, everyone has their own ambitions, but ideals are really fragile in the face of reality. There are some people who don't take it one step at a time. Ideals are always defeated by reality." Yan, do you think so?"

Picking up the wine glass, Cheng Lei felt a little emotional.

"An ideal is an ideal after all, and it is indeed too difficult to realize it. I have told you about my situation before. My parents and sister both died in a fire. My only purpose in becoming a police officer is to investigate that incident.

I want to find the murderer and send him to prison with my own hands, so for so many years, I have been learning these things in order to make my dream come true one day. Otherwise, I don’t know what I will be able to do by then. I don’t want to be

defeat!"

After having a drink with Cheng Lei, Chen Ziyan's eyes turned red after saying this.

That night, the group was so drunk that they couldn't even remember how they got back to the dormitory.

The next day, Chen Ziyan was the first to wake up. He had a splitting headache. He picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Glancing at the other people, he saw that they were still sleeping soundly. He picked up the washbasin and went to the water room alone.

The cold water rushed over his face, and he felt a little more comfortable. He simply soaked his face in the basin filled with water, hoping to make himself more awake.

"Drinking too much."

Thinking of the mountains of empty bottles in the restaurant when he left last night, he couldn't help but grin.

Lin Xibei's shout came from downstairs, causing Chen Ziyan to speed up his washing. A few minutes later, he put on new clothes and came to her.

"Sister Shasha wants to go on another trip. She asked us in the dormitory to come together and asked me to ask you if you want to go." Lin Xibei held Chen Ziyan's arm with a smile on her face.

"Then go. I haven't taken you anywhere to play in these years. It's always good to see the world. We won't go. They drank all night yesterday. They probably won't be able to get up today."

Chen Ziyan still felt a little headache in his head, so he thought it would be better to continue sleeping for a while.

"You really don't want to go? Sister Shasha seems to be very interested in you recently, and she will mention you from time to time."

Lin Xibei winked at Chen Ziyan with a sly smile.

"No." Chen Ziyan rubbed her head and refused decisively.

"Okay, then we will set off around noon. I have to go back and prepare some things. Brother, don't regret it then."

After saying this, Lin Xibei let go of his arm, turned around and ran away.

Looking at her back and thinking about what she just said, Chen Ziyan scratched his head and said to himself: "Why did you mention me? I didn't recruit her."

Shaking his head, he turned around and walked towards the dormitory again, intending to sleep again.

After returning home, he didn't open his eyes again until the sky was getting dark. At this time, Cheng Lei was the only one left in the dormitory.

"Where are they?"

"The queen has gone on a date, Daniel, Laosi, and the Taoist priest have gone to dinner. My head hurts and I am too lazy to move."

"It seems like you drank too much yesterday, so it's no wonder you don't feel any pain."

"Come on, I remember clearly. I drank a total of 106 bottles of beer. You drank nearly 30 bottles by yourself, which is six bottles more than me. Damn, I didn't know you had such a drinking capacity!"

Coming closer to him, Cheng Lei put his arms around his shoulders.

Feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders, Chen Ziyan knocked down his arm, and then he remembered something, with a hint of surprise on his face: "You said Lian Feng went on a date?"

"Yeah, I was flirting with a girl during the military training. No, I guess she's getting better."

"It's true." Shaking his head, Chen Ziyan got out of bed, stretched and walked out the door.

Just at this moment, the door was opened, and Zhou Xiaopeng was holding two portions of fried rice.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to eat?" Standing in front of him, Zhou Xiaopeng handed one of the dishes to Chen Ziyan.

So Chen Ziyan had no choice but to retreat: "I originally wanted to go out for a walk and take a breath."

"Hey, why are you breathing? There are always couples outside the school at this time. Why are you going out alone to join in the fun?" Taking the fried rice from Zhou Xiaopeng's hand, Cheng Lei sprinkled the small bag of spicy peppers specially prepared for him into the meal.

, joked.

"Vulgar."

Chen Ziyan was eating dinner and only replied this word.

After Zhou Xiaopeng heard this, he burst into laughter, then returned to his bed, leaned his back against the wall and read a book, quietly.

Not long after, both of them finished their meal. Chen Ziyan stood up again, picked up the lunch box and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Cheng Lei smiled and handed the lunch box to him: "By the way."

"You really need to exercise your figure, otherwise it will be difficult for you to catch up with Yang Li." Without refusing, Chen Ziyan raised one corner of his mouth and said.

But after hearing this, the fat man Cheng Lei smiled and remained unmoved.

Chen Ziyan walked out of the building, threw the garbage into the trash can, and walked straight to the playground.

But as he walked, his brows wrinkled, and he never let go of what happened during the military training.

Good people who don't reflect on themselves will eventually become bad people. But is it really because a former hero becomes a sinner because he doesn't reflect on himself?

Running slowly on the rubber track, he felt a little heavy in his heart. As a person who made no mistakes, Qiao Yu was implicated. So where did he go wrong?

In fact, he was not wrong, right? The murderer is guilty and has his own legal punishment, but is the person who gave the order really not wrong?

Wouldn't such an order chill the hearts of those who were heroes?

If murderers make mistakes, they will be punished by law, but if those in power make mistakes, who can punish them?

As he ran faster and faster, Qiao Yu's words before leaving clearly rang in his ears. Perhaps, having a clear conscience and straightening his spine would be enough?

Thinking too much is really tiring!

The pace gradually stopped. Chen Ziyan lay on his back on the lawn, stared at the sky, and stopped thinking.

Only by doing some things can you know how far you can go.

He stood up again and began to walk back. At this moment, the bright moonlight cast a long shadow on his figure.
