Li Jungkook had a nightmare at night.
After being with Song Lisa , he hasn’t had nightmares for a long time.
It might have been during the day, because Candy won the Pulitzer Prize. When he took Song Lisa out to eat and go shopping, a foreign child bumped into his legs, bounced back and fell to the ground, crying loudly. The foreign child had a pair of dark eyes, which suddenly reminded him of something.
He had a dream that night.
In the dream, a man from the East hugged his wife, two little boys and a little girl held the hems of their parents’ clothes, they stood side by side in a blank space, looking at him quietly. Their eyes were dark and empty.
When Li Jungkook woke up, the back of his neck was covered in sweat, and he could hear his breathing was particularly rapid in the quiet night. But he quickly restrained himself, fearing that he would wake up Song Lisa beside him.
It was past three In the morning, and there was a faint light outside the curtains. The world was so quiet that he could hear the chirping of insects outside.
It's already the end of April, but the nights are still a little chilly.
Li Jungkook carefully turned sideways and gently hugged Song Lisa ’s waist, intending to go back to sleep, but her hand reached out and hugged his waist again.
After a moment of silence, Li Jungkook whispered, “Lisa?”
“Hmm?” She opened her eyes, her clear eyes shining brightly in the darkness.
“Did I wake you up?”
“No, I woke up halfway.” She spoke with a nasal tone, sounding a little soft and cute, “… Did you have a nightmare?”
“Um.”
“What did you dream about?”
He rubbed his eyes and said, “It’s all about the East Country. I dreamed of bombs that killed people.”
Song Lisa said: “These are the things I usually have nightmares about.”
“Why did you wake up too? Did you have a dream?”
“Well, maybe because I won the award, I thought about those things again.” She frowned, “And a lot of people want to interview me again, which is a bit annoying.”
“Then turn off the phone and ignore them.”
“I think so.”
Li Jungkook put his hand on her face, stroked her temples with his fingers, and asked, “How did you get through your nightmares before?”
She said: “Lie flat on your back and look at the ceiling. Then slowly, the day will begin to dawn.”
As same as him.
You can’t close your eyes and try to sleep at that time. You won’t fall asleep, and then the scenes will replay, which is even more painful.
Song Lisa stretched her hand out of the quilt, stretched herself, and then put her arm around his neck: “But you are here now.”
Li Jungkook said, “Why don’t you go and get some hot milk? Maybe you’ll feel better if you drink some.”
“I also want to eat steamed buns.”
“Okay.” Li Jungkook stood up, put on his nightgown, and said, “Don’t come down.”
But Song Lisa still chased after him in her pyjamas and slippers.
The pyjamas and slippers were a pair of couple’s shoes, blue and pink, that they bought at the supermarket last week.
Song Lisa used to think that all kinds of couple items were silly, but after she fell in love, she excitedly bought a lot of them, even toothbrushes and cups came in pairs.
Li Jungkook took out milk from the refrigerator and poured it into the milk pot, then placed it on the stove to heat it over low heat. He then added water, a steamer basket and steamed buns to the steamer.
The milk gradually became warmer and the aroma of milk filled the air.
Song Lisa suddenly said, “This costs 50 dollars a cup in the East.”
“Yeah.” Li Jungkook said, “I saw on the news last night that Gamma was caught in a war.”
Gama is the capital of the East Country, an ancient city with thousands of years of history.
Song Lisa said: “Even Gamma Polytechnic University was bombarded.”
“If Gama falls, Dongguo will also…” Li Jungkook didn’t continue. He poured the milk into the cup, put the steamed buns into the plate, and the two sat down at the dining table.
Song Lisa squatted on a chair and ate steamed buns.
Li Jungkook suddenly asked, “Do you want to go back to the East?”
Song Lisa sipped his milk, thought for a moment, and said, “I want to, but I don’t dare.”
Li Jungkook said nothing.
Song Lisa asked: “What about you?”
Li Jungkook said, “I would like to, but I’m not sure I can do it.”
They looked at each other and suddenly smiled at each other.
He reached out and touched her head, then leaned over and rubbed his forehead against hers hard.
She cried out softly, “It hurts!”
They both drank the milk and went back to bed, having a good night’s sleep.
At the beginning of May, Li Jungkook asked Chen Feng to return to the team again. Chen Feng couldn’t persuade him this time, so he said he would think of a way to let him join the team and train with them. Chen Feng said he would think of a way, but Li Jungkook knew that once he agreed, the matter would most likely be settled.
That day was a Thursday. He went home in the evening and told Song Lisa the news. Unexpectedly, Song Lisa also had news for him.
She received a response from the National Military Channel.
The “Our Flag” column team selected Song Lisa from hundreds of planning proposals and expressed the hope that she could come to the Imperial City to participate in the production of the “Our Flag” column. The column team will provide her with a generous salary, a high-level production platform and production team, and the most sincere and authoritative recommendation letter when needed in the future.
When Song Lisa told him the news, her whole face seemed to glow with joy.
Li Jungkook hadn’t seen her so excited about her career in a long time. Even winning an award some time ago didn’t make her so happy.
He also smiled with his eyebrows curved, and said: “I knew it would be you. It seems that I was right.”
“It’s because you said it that it works.” She rushed over and hugged his neck.
Li Jungkook laughed out loud: “I’m not a god.”
But just as she was happy, she felt a little sad again and rubbed her head against his shoulder: “But… they asked me to go to the Imperial City.”
He touched her hair, feeling reluctant, and said with a smile: “This is what you want to do, go ahead. The high-speed rail is also convenient. I can visit you every weekend.”
“Really?” Song Lisa ’s eyes lit up, but then she frowned again, “But if you return to the team, you won’t be able to get out because of the military management.”
“…” Li Jungkook was stunned. He had been so idle outside recently that he forgot about this for a moment.
Just as he was frowning, Song Lisa smiled and said, “Then I’ll come back to see you. Family visit.”
Li Jungkook smiled suddenly and said, “Okay.”
Song Lisa replied to the program team’s email that evening.
Unexpectedly, she received a notice the next day. The director hoped that she could go to the Imperial City as soon as possible. The column team would hold a preliminary planning meeting at the weekend. If she could make it, she was welcome to attend.
Song Lisa knew very well that the workload and time efficiency of the national television station were not comparable to Liangcheng Satellite TV. She agreed immediately.
Seeing this, Li Jungkook helped her buy a high-speed train ticket to Imperial City that night. It was too late for the evening flight. The check-in time was almost the same as the high-speed train.
Song Lisa took the box and started packing her luggage.
Li Jungkook saw her stuffing her robe, slippers and towel into the suitcase and said with a smile, “Why bring all these things? They are in the hotel and your mother’s house, right?”
“That’s different.” Song Lisa said, “I’m a pair with you.”
Li Jungkook let her do what she wanted and said, “I just checked the weather. The temperature difference between day and night in the Imperial City is huge. Bring a sweater or coat.”
“Um.”
As Song Lisa folded her coat, she saw Li Jungkook counting her bank cards, ID cards, press cards, camera batteries and cables. He took photos of the various documents and cards with his phone to keep the information: “If you lose them by accident, ask me for the pictures.” He put them away and put them in a special bag and stuffed them into the compartment of the suitcase.
Song Lisa felt warm in her heart, but she said, “Do you think I’m a child? I’ve been to the Imperial City many times, and my mother is there too. Don’t worry about me.”
He smiled and closed the suitcase.
On Friday night, when they went out, they encountered the evening rush hour. Li Jungkook was worried about traffic jams, so he took her to take the subway.
There were too many people in the carriage and there was no place to sit. Li Jungkook pulled Song Lisa to a corner and put his arm around her to prevent outsiders from bumping into her.
She leaned against the car wall, standing in the space he gave her, and couldn’t help but smile.
Li Jungkook stared at her expression and asked, “What are you laughing at? Are you so happy about parting ways?”
Song Lisa frowned and gently hit him. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that people around her would hear her, so she stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear. He lowered his head slightly to meet her.
She whispered: “When I was riding the subway before, I saw a boy doing this to his girlfriend, and I felt so warm.”
Before he finished speaking, the subway was shaking, Li Jungkook ’s body swayed slightly, and his cheek lightly hit her lips. Very soft.
She landed on her heels and stood up. He smiled and followed her face. He looked at her for a long time, then slowly looked at the bag behind her and said, “Be careful when you are alone in a car. Don’t let anything get stolen. Especially your cell phone.”
“I know.”
Li Jungkook suddenly asked: “Can you remember my phone number?”
Song Lisa : “…”
Li Jungkook rolled his eyes at her and turned his head to look at the car door.
Song Lisa refused to admit defeat, so she hugged his waist, tilted her head back, and said stubbornly, “Can you remember my phone number?”
Li Jungkook didn’t even look at her. He looked at the line display on the door and said, “13xxxxxx529.”
Song Lisa chuckled: “I was just teasing you, I remember it.”
Li Jungkook said, “I don’t believe it.”
“Really. 15xxxxxx101”
Li Jungkook looked at the route map expressionlessly. After a second or two of silence, he couldn’t help but smile.
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the high-speed rail station.
Li Jungkook got off the subway holding Song Lisa ’s hand with one hand and pulling the luggage with the other.
Song Lisa , who was cheerful before, became reluctant at this moment.
They have been in love for two months. In the past sixty days, they have been together every day. Song Lisa has never experienced the taste of separation, but at this moment he clearly feels the bitterness.
She suddenly said, “Do you feel that March and April passed by so quickly?”
“Yes,” he said.
Since the two of them have been together, time has flown by like flowing water, and it seems like going to Jiangcheng was just yesterday.
“It’s already May in the blink of an eye,” she said wistfully.
He said: “When I came downstairs today, all the flowers that bloomed in the spring had fallen.”
She called again: “A-Jungkook .”
“Um?”
“I’m leaving, are you willing to let me go?”
Li Jungkook pursed his lips, looked at her calmly, pulled her into his arms, leaned his head against hers, and whispered, “I’ll find a way to visit you next week.”
“real?”
“we have a deal.”
Before they knew it, they had reached the gate. Li Jungkook stopped and handed her the suitcase.
Their eyes met, and they were both silent for a moment, not saying anything.
Li Jungkook looked at her for a moment and said, “Wait a moment.”
He ran to a nearby vending machine and bought two bottles of water for her. Song Lisa took them and found that he bought the most expensive one. He whispered, “One bottle is enough. Why buy so many?”
“The carriage is dry, it will take four or five hours.”
Song Lisa looked down at the water, her nose felt sore, and she remained silent again.
The ticket checking has already started at the gate, and passengers are queuing up to pass through quickly, with the sound of beeping tickets.
Li Jungkook said softly, “Go ahead.”
Song Lisa looked up and whispered, “You have to come see me next week.”
Li Jungkook ’s eyes were reluctant, but he smiled calmly and touched her face.
He took a step closer to her, held her face in his hands, bent down and quickly kissed her cheek, and said, “Promise.”
She didn’t know why, but her eyes suddenly turned red. She felt like a loser, so she smiled shyly. When she looked at him again, her eyes got even wetter. She smiled as she dragged the big suitcase through the gate.
Li Jungkook ’s expression was a little difficult to maintain. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking at her. She walked over and turned back to wave at him. Li Jungkook pulled out his hand and waved.
When Song Lisa turned around and walked down the escalator, she felt very upset. After living together for two months, she had become very dependent on him.
She dragged her luggage onto the bus, sat in her seat, and stared blankly.
When the train was about to start, a group of people sitting by the window on the opposite side of the carriage suddenly looked towards the platform, talking about the shadow that was blowing across the stairs and onto the platform like the wind.
Song Lisa didn’t care. She sat by the outer window, looking gloomily at the train slowly starting up, when suddenly someone gently scratched her head.
Song Lisa looked back in confusion.
Li Jungkook stood in the corridor, panting and looking at her with a smile. His cheeks were red because of the high-speed running just now.
“Why are you here?” Song Lisa stood up in surprise.
The girl sitting next to her was about 28 or 29 years old. Seeing this, she moved inside and said, “Let me change seats with you.”
Song Lisa quickly said, “Thank you.”
The girl understood very well and said jokingly, “You are indeed a young person.”
Li Jungkook , who hadn’t even caught his breath yet, nodded and added, “Thank you.”
The nearby passengers all gave friendly smiles.
A man in his thirties looked up from his notebook and said, “I did the same thing more than ten years ago, when the trains were still green. I got a platform ticket and paid for it after I got on the train.”
When Song Lisa heard this, he hurriedly asked Li Jungkook : “Have you bought the ticket?”
“I bought it. Luckily I could use my ID card, otherwise I would have missed it.” Li Jungkook ’s face flushed, his eyes clear as he looked at her, panting, “I suddenly remembered that today is the weekend. I’ll go with you first and come back on Sunday.”
Song Lisa suddenly wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, but considering there were many people in the car, she held it back and just held his hand tightly.
Because it was the weekend, tickets were in short supply, so Li Jungkook could only buy a standing ticket. Song Lisa wanted to give him her seat, but he refused and stood all the way to the Imperial City.
Song Lisa originally wanted to go back to her mother’s house, but now that Li Jungkook was here, she didn’t want her to know for the time being, so she went to the hotel.
When checking in, Song Lisa said apologetically: “My mother is very scary, it’s better not to see her for now.”
Li Jungkook had no objection and said, “It’s nice to live outside. It’s comfortable.”
Song Lisa still felt bad, so she leaned over to his ear and whispered in his ear, “If you live at my mother’s house, we won’t be able to sleep in the same room.”
“…” Li Jungkook ’s lips rose silently.
After taking the room card and going upstairs, the elevator door closed and the two looked at each other without hesitation. Song Lisa smiled with undisguised joy and love in her eyes.
Li Jungkook was confused by her gaze and pulled her into his arms.
“Have you been to the Imperial City?” Song Lisa asked.
“Many times.”
“What are you all here for?”
“Business trips. Exchanges. Awards. All kinds of things.”
“oh.”
When exiting the elevator, Song Lisa thought of something and said, “I just realized that it’s not worthwhile for you to come here.”
“What do you mean?” Li Jungkook walked to the door and checked the room number.
Swipe the card and hear a beep.
She apologized, “I’m busy this weekend, so I may not have time to spend with you. Otherwise, we could go to some tourist attractions together, or walk around or something.”
“slowly.”
“Um?”
He pushed open the door, inserted the card into the card slot, and said softly, “I’m not here for sightseeing.”
Song Lisa was stunned.
“Besides, I’m not your guest, so you don’t need to bother arranging my itinerary.”
He just wanted to stay in the same place with her, even if they didn’t do anything or talk.
Li Jungkook closed the door and was about to turn around when Song Lisa suddenly stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, hooked his neck, tilted her head back and kissed his lips.
Li Jungkook was stunned, but she kissed him harder, and her slender hands reached into his collar. He suddenly felt a string of numbness on his back.
Because of her rare initiative, his heart was instantly aroused. He bent his back and kissed her deeply; he bent down, hugged her and picked her up.
Song Lisa was shocked and excited, she coiled on him, taller than him. She held his head, lowered her head and kissed him deeply, until he pressed her down on the big white fluffy bed.
The young bodies sometimes separated and sometimes stayed close together. It was as if today’s unsuccessful separation awakened a stronger bond and love in the deeper parts of their bodies and minds. She was no longer as shy and immature as before, and boldly asked for and catered to him. He was no longer as considerate and gentle as before, but was particularly domineering and forceful, as if only strength and impact could vent the uneasiness, nostalgia, and deep love in his heart that could not be expressed. He and she were entangled powerfully and softly, and her heart was once again filled with his familiar solidity and hardness.
The quilt and bed sheet were tossed together, covering her delicate moans. Her fingers scratched the bed sheet in vain, but finally grabbed his scar firmly.
That night, the two of them were like playful children who would not stop, and they tossed and turned all night long.
By the end, Song Lisa ’s voice had become hoarse, and her legs and feet no longer belonged to her.
The next morning, Song Lisa almost didn’t wake up in time. It was Li Jungkook who gently called her several times in her ear: “Lisa.”
Song Lisa explained: “Actually, we were not together at that time.”
Little B interrupted: “But I guess you must have liked him at that time, right?”
Li Jungkook turned his head to look at Song Lisa .
Song Lisa smiled and nodded: “Yeah.”
Little C laughed: “All the single girls here have learned this.”
Everyone laughed good-naturedly.
Song Lisa also smiled and leaned lightly on Li Jungkook ’s shoulder.
At this time, the director asked: “Which military region is Captain Li in now?”
Li Jungkook said: “Jiangcheng.”
She asked casually: “Will you come to Imperial City in the future? With Lisa’s strength, only the development of Imperial City is worthy of her.”
Song Lisa ’s heart tightened. She hadn’t thought about this problem yet. She looked at Li Jungkook and was about to help him smooth things over.
Li Jungkook took over the conversation with a faint smile: “It’s not that easy to transfer positions in the army, but there is room for maneuver for those who are fully prepared. I am slowly planning it, and it may take a year or two.”
Song Lisa was stunned, she didn’t know that he had made such plans for her in his mind.
The people around m her were already cheering softly: “Happy~~”
“That’s great. Captain Li, I’ll toast you a glass.” The director picked up the sake and said, “Cheers to the peacekeepers, to the soldiers.”
Colleagues around him also raised their glasses: “We want to toast, too. Cheers to the soldiers.”
“Thank you.” Li Jungkook picked up the cup and clinked it with everyone else’s. When he took his hand back, Song Lisa held the small sake cup in both hands, waiting for him with bright eyes: “I toast to you too, Captain Li.”
Li Jungkook smiled, clinked his glass with hers, and drank the sake in the glass.
