When Kopalova came to Sokov's carriage, Seryosha followed him in with his luggage. He put the luggage in the corner and said with a smile: "Kopalova, you and Misha must have not seen each other for a long time.
, I must have a lot to say. I'm in the box next door, if you need anything, just call me."
After Seryosha left, only Kopalova and Sokov were left in the box.
After a brief silence, Kopalova asked: "There was a major just now. Where is he now?"
"It's in the box next door," Sokov replied. "Like Seryosha, he felt that staying here might affect our reminiscing about the past, so he left."
"How many people are there in the box next door? Can they fit in?"
"In addition to Seryosha and the major, there are also two of my guards. It is a private room for four people and can be fully accommodated. Don't worry."
Kopalova, who was originally sitting opposite Sokov, stood up, walked over and sat down next to Sokov, and rested her head on Sokov's shoulder: "Misha, you have promised me many things, but once
None of the documents were honored. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Hearing what Kopalova said, Sokov couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When he was in Moscow, Kopalova made an appointment with him to see a play and even bought the tickets, but he failed to make the appointment. He laughed dryly and said,
He explained in a pale tone: "Actually, I didn't break the appointment on purpose, but because something happened at home and I really couldn't get away."
"By the way, according to the time calculation, Asya should have given birth." Kopalova sat up, tilted her head and asked Sokov: "Is it a son or a daughter? Can I be the child's godmother?"
Sokov did not expect that Kopalova would suddenly ask about his sad past. After the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times, he murmured: "No, the child is gone long ago."
Kopalova was stunned after hearing this, and then asked: "What's going on? Why is there no child?"
"On New Year's Day, Asiya went back to her parents' home in Khimki. Unexpectedly, on the way back, she encountered a car accident and was seriously injured." Sokov said sadly: "Although she survived after rescue,
, but the child in her belly is gone."
"Misha, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Kopalova really didn't know about Asya's miscarriage. When Sokov said this, she immediately realized that she had asked a question she shouldn't have asked, and quickly raised her hands
He stroked Sokov's face and said apologetically: "I shouldn't have mentioned your sad past."
"It's okay, it's all over." When he talked about the child, Sokov naturally thought of Karina. He didn't know that the other party's due date was more than two months away, and he didn't know whether he could successfully give birth to the child.
Don't have any more accidents.
"Misha, I heard something about you."
"About me?" Sokov asked in surprise: "What is it?"
"It is said that when you visited Marshal Zhukov on New Year's Day, you met Comrade Khrushchev. You told him that Ukraine will suffer a severe drought this year, which may even cause food supply problems." Kopalova looked at her.
Sokov asked: "Misha, is this happening?"
Sokov did not expect that even Kopalova knew what he said when he wished Zhukov a happy new year. Presumably his remarks also reached Stalin's ears. If in the next few months, indeed,
If the situation he mentioned happened, nothing would happen. If the weather were good and the food harvest was good, he might be accused of "spreading rumors" and imprisoned in the Lubyanka prison.
Thinking of this, he asked cautiously: "Kopalova, can you tell me where you heard this rumor?"
"I also heard what people in the newspaper said." Kopalova explained to Sokov: "When I wanted to know more about the source of the news, others refused to tell me." Maybe she was worried that Sokov was too preoccupied.
, and specifically added, "You also know that our reporters have a very wide range of sources of information. We have special channels to learn about information that ordinary people don't know."
Sokov smiled slightly and asked: "Kopalova, since you said that you have special information channels and can understand some situations that ordinary people don't know, then let me ask you if you know that after I went to Vienna,
What position will you hold?"
"Tch, you think I really don't know." Kopalova said disdainfully: "I was in the dining car just now, and there were many people around. I can't talk about your affairs everywhere, so as not to leak the secret. In fact, I got in the car
I knew before that you were appointed as the commander of the 4th Guards Army. At that time, I was still thinking whether I would need to check from box to box after the train departed to see if I could find any trace of you. I didn’t expect my luck.
It’s so nice that I met you in the dining car.”
Sokov frowned, remembering what Kopalova said about the leader of the interview team who arranged for her to be in the same box with three strange men. He wondered whether this was because Kopalova was deliberately looking for someone to get close to him.
excuse.
"Then why did the leader of the interview team arrange for you to be in the same box with three strange men?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Kopalova was stunned for a moment, then understood what Sokov meant, and quickly explained: "Misha, don't get me wrong, I'm in a box with three strange men.
It was the negligence of the person who booked the train tickets in the logistics department of the newspaper that made such a stupid mistake." Then he said, "But that's fine, I can justifiably move in with you."
Sokov deliberately teased her: "Aren't you worried that something will happen if you and I live alone in the same room?"
"What could happen?" Kopalova said: "Don't forget, the two of us were in love one year before the war broke out. We did everything we should and shouldn't do. I also
What to worry about?"
Hearing what Kopalova said, Sokov suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Although he took this body, he did not inherit the memory of the original owner. Therefore, what happened between him and Kopalova suddenly remained unknown.
Clearly. He planned in his mind that he would find an opportunity to sneak out later and ask Seryozha to see if he knew anything, otherwise he would be too passive.
"Kopalova, how long can you stay in Vienna this time?"
"It's hard to say." Kopalova shook her head and said: "There are two theories in the newspaper. One is that after covering the military exercises, the interview team returned to Moscow; the other is that the interview team is based in Vienna as a newspaper.
If it’s the latter, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in Vienna for a year or two before I have the chance to return to Moscow.”
"Ah, you have to stay for such a long time?"
Kopalova put her arms around Sokov's neck and asked with a smile: "Misha, if you want to stay in Vienna for a long time, if I invite you out to dinner, watch a movie, or listen to an opera, you will still refuse me.
?”
"Maybe, probably, maybe." Sokov didn't expect Kopalova to ask this suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer in a hurry: "We'll see what happens then."
Kopalova chuckled, loosened her arms around her neck, stood up, walked to the opposite bed, lay down, and said to Sokov: "I was busy all night selecting photos yesterday, and now I'm a little sleepy. I'll sleep for a while and wait for food.
Call me again at dinner."
Sokov was looking for an opportunity to sneak out of the box and ask Seryosha to find out the situation. At this moment, hearing Kopalova say this, it was as if someone gave him a pillow when he wanted to fall asleep. He suddenly felt happy and nodded quickly and said: "Well,
You have a good rest and I will call you again during dinner."
Kopalova, who was originally sitting opposite Sokov, stood up, walked over and sat down next to Sokov, and rested her head on Sokov's shoulder: "Misha, you have promised me many things, but once
None of the documents were honored. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
