Chapter 972 What if this existence also dies?

It was the hottest summer when the rejection of the marriage proposal came.

The man remained silent for two days amid his aunt's insinuated complaints, then turned around and asked Commander Cheng to transfer to the Middle East.

The old man looked at him for a long time before he sighed slightly and said slowly,

"Zhiyuan, fate cannot be forced."

The man, who had been promoted to major general at that time, lowered his eyebrows, and his handsome face was calm. He calmly answered "yes" and then turned and left.

His back was straight and tall, still looking strong and powerful.

I shouldn't have returned the Eye of the Sea so early.

The man thought lightly with his eyelids drooping.

If I still have it now, at least it can be used as a souvenir.

Over the years, the girl accompanied him through many difficult times, but in the end, nothing was left except those voyeuristic photos.

Then he left.

Go to more dangerous battlefields where there are better opportunities for promotion, and travel back and forth to border areas where conditions are harsh.

There was basically no entertainment in those harsh environments. He occasionally started watching movies, and the discs were all collected by his men.

So in those tired, blood-stained and wounded nights, he fell in love with the American past at first sight.

On those quiet nights with bad winds and sand, the man would always sit in the simple living room all night, with the movie accompanying him over and over again until the dawn.

At that time, Cheng Zhiyuan always felt.

Even if we never meet again, it's good enough to know that she is living happily somewhere in this world.

It doesn't matter even if I'm not the one who brings her happiness.

For a long time afterwards, he never asked about her again. However, the protection arranged by Major Liu had never been withdrawn. The only difference was that the man who used to know every detail of her life no longer needed to be told about her current situation.

The girl gradually drifted away from his life, and he thought that from then on she would only exist in his memory and distant legends.

But one afternoon when he returned exhausted from a mission, he heard news of her again.

Death news.

Secretary Liu still remembers the man's expression at that time.

It was as if he was empty in an instant, all emotions and even his soul were drained from his body. He seemed to have turned into an empty shell. He was such a strong and upright man, but at that moment he suspected that he would evaporate completely in the next moment.

He didn't evaporate, he just became more silent.

His eyes, which were once calm and sharp, became stagnant, and he seemed to be unable to see anything.

Even though he still appeared calm and rational, his mission was still flawless and beautiful, attracting admiration and praise every time.

But he is still completely different from before.

After an important mission, contrary to everyone's expectations, Cheng Zhiyuan submitted an application for retirement to his superiors.

Just when he was about to be promoted, just when everyone believed that he would become the first record-breaking youngest person in charge of the military, he turned and left without any reluctance.

·

Everything seems to be getting tiresome.

All the beautiful things are dead.

He thought of the movie Once Upon a Time in America, which he had watched over and over again.

There is a sentence above that says this.

When I am tired of everything, I will think of you, thinking that you are living and existing somewhere in this world, and I am willing to endure everything.

Your existence is very important to me.

But what if this existence also died?

During countless sleepless nights, the man lit rows of cigarettes and thought coldly about this while looking at the room full of photos.

What if this unique existence also dies?
