She ran over, grabbed the man's arm, and moved her lips but no sound came out.

The man turned to look at her, a bright smile on his handsome face, "Ningning, don't you recognize your second brother?"

Qin An Ning held onto Cheng Yanlang's arm tightly, fearing that this was a dream and that he would disappear if she let go.

"Second brother, it's really you!" Qin An Ning's hands were shaking with excitement as they met again after a lifetime.

"It's me, silly girl. There's a living person standing in front of you, what's there to be unbelievable about?"

Cheng Yanlang patted Qin Anning's head with his big hand and said, "Come on, second brother will take you to eat first."

I have so many questions to ask, but now that he is in front of me, it seems like nothing matters anymore.

Qin An Ning held back the tears that were about to burst out, raised her little face, and said, "I also earn a salary, I will treat my second brother."

Cheng Yanlang bent down, picked up a huge bag next to him, put it on his back, and walked out with Qin An Ning.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and were chatting happily about this and that, but they didn't know that a pair of eyes behind them were watching them, making up a lot of things in their minds.

"What are you carrying in this? It's inconvenient to carry such a big bag. Let's leave it at home first."

"These are all useful things. You can take a look at them yourself later." He bought these by snatching a lot of tickets from his comrades.

"Brother, aren't all the things in this bag given to me?"

Cheng Yanlang nodded as a matter of course, "Who else should I give it to if not you? You are my precious sister. I haven't seen you for so long, so of course I have to prepare more things for you."

Due to an accident at home, he was hurriedly arranged to serve as a soldier in Guangzhou. New recruits had no holidays, so he couldn't go back even if he wanted to.

Besides, his parents don't let him contact home.

In order not to disappoint his uncle's efforts, he could only train hard and devote all his time and energy to improving himself.

At first he was in contact with his aunt, but later he didn't receive any letters from her for a long time, so he worried that something might have happened.

After contacting the Jinshi Military Region, Zhou Xinping told him that for the sake of his uncle, it would be better for them not to contact each other for the time being.

He didn't know if the family affairs had implicated his uncle, but as Zhou Xinping said, for the sake of his aunt's family, he could only bear not to contact him.

Then all the time is spent on training, carrying out missions, striving to make more achievements, and taking off the hat of the family as soon as possible.

This mission lasted for nearly half a year, and he only saw the letter sent by Ningning after he came back. He was injured and recuperating at that time, so he couldn't wait to come here.

"Eat first, and then we'll have a good talk when we come back."

Not wanting to worry her second brother, Qin An Ning did not mention her parents' accident in the letter, but only said that she responded to the policy and went to the countryside.

The later letter was also to let her know that she was safe and had a job. She didn't expect Cheng Yanlang to come directly.

Cheng Yanlang nodded, "Okay, then let's talk about it when we get back later." He also wanted to know what happened to his uncle.

He knew how much his aunt and uncle loved Ningning. Even according to the policy, Ningning didn't have to go to the countryside. How could they be willing to send Ningning to the countryside?

When he saw Ningning's letter, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that something had happened at home that he didn't know about.

He didn't dare to contact his uncle, so he came directly to Ningning.

In the restaurant, Cheng Yanlang was very conspicuous in his military uniform. Coupled with his handsome and outstanding temperament, the waiters who took orders were particularly friendly.

"Comrade Soldier, our restaurant is serving dumplings today. They're stuffed with pork and cabbage. Would you like some?"

In fact, what is supplied is clearly written on the blackboard, so there is no need to repeat it.

Cheng Yanlang tilted his head and asked Qin Anning, "Ningning, can you order one dish of Mushu pork, one dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes, and dumplings for the main course?"

"OK."

The waiter curled his lips when he saw this, but didn't say anything unpleasant.

Qin An Ning offered to treat them, but how could Cheng Yanlang really agree? He rushed to pay for the ticket.

The wound was a little painful because of the excessive movement, and he frowned slightly.

There was some inquiry in Qin An Ning's eyes, but since there were many people around, she didn't ask any further questions and found an empty table to sit down.

"Second brother, how long is your vacation this time?"

Guangzhou is not close to here. There is no direct bus, and reversing is very troublesome. It takes four or five days to get there by bus.

"I haven't had any vacation, so I can rest for a while this time."

In fact, it was because his injury was quite serious and he was not suitable for strenuous exercise for a month or two.

Since he couldn't train, he simply took a vacation to see Ningning.

"You've come at the perfect time. I'm getting married on Sunday, and there won't be many of my family members around."

Cheng Yanlang's chopsticks fell to the ground with a clatter. He looked at Qin Anning with a serious look in his eyes. "Ningning, tell me, what happened?"

Otherwise, my aunt and uncle would not agree to let Ningning marry in such a small place. Considering how much they love Ningning, they would probably think it was too far if the place was more than three kilometers away.

Qin An Ning pursed her lips. She didn't intend to hide it anymore, but this was not the place to talk. "Let's talk about it when we get home."

Cheng Yanlang was obviously absent-minded during the meal. After Qin An Ning was full, he ate up the dishes and dumplings so quickly that people wondered if he had chewed them at all.

Back in the bridal chamber, Qin An Ning didn't rush to talk about things, but asked Cheng Yanlang to take off his clothes.

Cheng Yanlang frowned and looked at her, "Ningning, what do you mean?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take off your shirt." Qin An Ning frowned and didn't give him a chance to quibble.

In the restaurant, she did not miss the moment when her second brother frowned with forbearance. Don't doubt how strong a soldier's endurance is. Her second brother's injury must be serious.

"Ningning, I really..."

"Take it off!"

Cheng Yanlang swallowed the words "It's okay" that he was about to say. His sister was a little fierce now, so he'd better not provoke her.

After taking off his coat and shirt, Cheng Yanlang was left wearing a tank top. He tried to argue, "Ningning, there's no need to take off your tank top. Even though we are brother and sister, it's not good."

Qin An Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She took two steps forward and lifted up his vest, then tears as big as beans fell from her eyes.

There was a scar on Cheng Yanlang's waist that was about ten centimeters long, from his armpit to his abdomen. It looked like a knife wound.

The gunshot wound on her left chest, which had not yet healed, caused her immense pain.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's almost healed, it doesn't hurt at all."

Cheng Yanlang was in a hurry to wipe Qin An Ning's tears, not knowing how to comfort her.

Qin An Ning pulled him to sit on the kang, "Just rest properly. Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you're running away. Are you trying to save your life?"

"Don't cry. I get anxious when you cry. I'm fine, aren't I?" Cheng Yanlang was stared at so hard that he didn't dare to move. He sat on the kang and tried to comfort others aggrievedly.

"You still say it's okay, do you think I'm blind?"

Qin An Ning pointed at the location of his heart from a distance, "I don't know where that is?

You are lucky to still be sitting here. Tell me the truth and tell me how serious your injury is.

Don't try to lie to me. If you dare to tell a lie, I'll have Uncle Zhou call your military district leader."
