Chapter 42: Affection
CHAPTER XLII
His own family knows about his own affairs, how could Hu Zhiyun not understand the reason why Xiao Yang said this? Thinking of some people, he sighed lightly, "Don't worry, Uncle will take care of it for you." ”
When he said this, Xiao Yang was a little embarrassed.
He's not in a good place, and if he gets into trouble for his own affairs again......
I could only say helplessly: "Forget it, I'm far away from the emperor this day, and it's difficult for others to find trouble, but you're different......"
Hu Zhiyun didn't expect Xiao Yang to say this, his heart was hot, and he scolded with a smile: "You kid has a little conscience." After speaking, he paused, and then said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”
Compared to what he owes Hu Zhiyun, a little trouble is really nothing, listening to his repeated insistence, Xiao Yang's heart was sour, and once again a little bit of the year appeared in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I really don't care, you don't have to be like this...... There are some things that you can leave to me later. ”
A specious promise silenced Hu Zhiyun.
After a long time, he said solemnly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you." ”
…………
In the following days, Xiao Yang had nothing else to do except keep an eye on Dika's side, and he was very leisurely for a while.
And Zhao Nan didn't know what to think, he had no intention of returning to the company, but occasionally dragged Xiao Yang to the mine, and stayed in Sith the rest of the time.
"Do you want to go back for the Spring Festival this year?" While the two were chatting, Zhao Nan asked Xiao Yang casually.
Spring Festival? Xiao Yang was silent for a while.
If she hadn't been in advance, she would have forgotten that there was such a festival, and the days in China were just for the two mothers and children to survive, and she didn't have the heart to think about festivals or anything, but after she arrived in Africa, these things were even farther away from him.
Chinese New Year?
My mother is alive, why not have a good Spring Festival?
The thought of this made his heart cramp.
Some people always have to pay the price! He swore hard in his heart.
Zhao Nan didn't hear Xiao Yang's response for a long time, raised his head and looked over, but he didn't expect to see the extraordinarily clear hideousness on Xiao Yang's face, and was startled.
Did you say the wrong thing yourself? She was a little dazed, completely unaware that her words would make Xiao Yang open that untouchable memory.
Hesitantly, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yang's big hand, and said softly, "Are you okay?" ”
The hand was covered with a piece of tenderness, as if a bright light of the night tore apart the night sky, and suddenly pulled Xiao Yang out of the spiritual world, and it was Zhao Nan's gentle little hand like white jade, and the violent tide in his heart receded instantly, and all that was left was warmth.
Involuntarily tightened his backhand, Xiao Yang raised his head and smiled hard, "It's old, it's okay." ”
Looking at his ugly smile, Zhao Nan felt a tingling pain in his heart, and surprisingly did not immediately withdraw the hand that was being held, nor did he speak, but just looked at Xiao Yang quietly.
Looking at this face that was always intoxicating in the past, Xiao Yang didn't have a trace of blasphemy, just warmth, opened his hand lightly, smiled at Zhao Nan again, and then said seriously: "Thank you." ”
Feeling that his hand was released, Zhao Nan was inexplicably a little lost, but when he saw the sincerity in Xiao Yang's eyes, the trace of loss disappeared immediately, and he looked at him with a smile, "No thanks." ”
…………
Dika had been preparing for Kutos's operation for two months, and with the guidance of Oman, he was very strict in terms of secrecy, and in addition to his absolute cronies, the officers of the tribal army also knew before they were deployed.
When Zhao Nan dragged Xiao Yang to the mine again, Decca told Xiao Yang that their operation had begun and asked Xiao Yang if he wanted to take a look.
It's better to ask, it's better to ask, because in Decca's opinion, if Xiao Yang can participate in it, then they have a better chance of success.
Kutos is the place that Xiao Yang fancies, but it is not necessary, he will definitely not go to the battlefield in person, but since he has already invested, he doesn't want the early investment to be in vain, so he promised to pay attention to it.
"I'll stay here for a while, and I'll leave a copy of any news."
At the beginning of the war, the mine was not affected by anything, it was still in full swing, Xiao Yang learned about it, and it has been more than a month since the start of construction, and the output is very gratifying, and a lot of emeralds that can reach gem quality have been excavated.
"I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days." The two were strolling around the mine, and Zhao Nan suddenly told Xiao Yang.
"How long are you going?" Xiao Yang blurted out, and after speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Zijian, they are over there, and they need you here." ”
Zhao Nan looked at him with a smile, saw his evasive eyes, his heart was full of joy, and he said jokingly: "What? Reluctant to let me go? ”
In the past few days, Zhao Nan's impression on Xiao Yang is no longer the smug girl he was when he first met, in the face of such a question, Xiao Yang was a little at a loss, and was about to speak, but heard Zhao Nan speak:
"In a few days, there will be a gemstone fair in Hong Kong, and we go to this fair every year, and it will take about a week."
After getting along for a while, Zhao Nan did have a good impression of Xiao Yang, in fact, after she said that sentence jokingly, she immediately regretted it, feeling that she was too unreserved, and she longed for feelings as a matter of course, looking at Xiao Yang's performance, she realized that no matter what Xiao Yang's answer was, it was difficult for her to choose, so she changed the topic without waiting for Xiao Yang's answer.
To say that before, in the face of Zhao Nan, Xiao Yang also had an impulse, and after getting along for a while, he had a different kind of feeling in his heart, but even if he joked with Zhao Qingfeng before and fell in love with his daughter, but now that he is in a relationship with Zhao Qingfeng's peers, if he really wants to think about Zhao Nan, he always has such a hurdle in his heart.
Seeing Zhao Nan like this, he was just a casual joke, but he didn't realize that a girl making this kind of joke with a man represented an attitude in itself, and he was slightly lost in his heart, so he could only smile reluctantly, and followed the topic: "Are you going to go alone?" ”
"And slim."
……
A few days later, just as the Kutos war officially began, Zhao Nan left Somalia and went to Hong Kong.
Because of the war, Xiao Yang did not go to see her off in person, but on the grounds of the turbulent situation, he asked Little Ivan and Xuanyuan Zhan to send her to Djibouti.
Despite its port and airport, Kutos is a small city in northern Somalia, but it is no different from a small county town in the country, with a population of less than 50,000 and an area of only a few square kilometers.
As for the warlords who control the area, there are less than 1,000 armed men at his disposal.
Decca was determined to take down Kutos this time, so he mobilized a team of nearly 4,000 people.
With the guns and equipment supported by Xiao Yang, there is really not much suspense in fighting with these people whose combat effectiveness is not much different from that of pirates, even if Oman and their mercenary group did not intervene, in just three days, they all controlled Kutos.
