Chapter 76 End You Wake Up

"He's awake—"

As these words came through the receiver, she gripped the escalator so hard that the rubber band dented, her joy evident. "I'll be right back," she said excitedly.

After get off work, she went to the hospital.

The building was wide and people were walking hurriedly. When the two of them arrived in front of the ward, Song Xiaoyu just came out and they greeted each other.

There is the best rehabilitation medical and nursing service here, so no one needs to worry about her, but she always comes to visit.

Captain Xia was found and brought back while clearing the battlefield. Apart from his weak pulse, he looked like a dead person.

As he fell, he glided on one wing and finally crashed into the bushes, his body damaged and his head bleeding.

In the chaos, he dragged his broken body and supported himself, continuing to shoot until the end, when he went into shock and fell into a coma.

The man had been sleeping soundly until yesterday, when he suddenly opened his eyes, looking dazed.

The guard turned around, the red sight pointed at his brow, there was a click, the bullet was loaded, and he was threatened to shut up.

They treated him as a complete stranger, approached him in hospital gowns, and questioned him in a very dangerous manner. Later, due to severe headaches and loss of strength, he was subdued and detained.

Song Xiaoyu warned her that Captain Xia was a stranger to her. He was confused, alert, and easily irritated. He tapped his temples with his index finger and said, "He's mentally ill."

After understanding the situation, she prepared herself mentally and pushed the door open. With tables, chairs, and handcuffs, this place looked more like an interrogation room than a hospital ward. He sat alone across from her.

The sentry was already ill, he was just a little more seriously ill.

The man looked at her sideways with a cold face and a murderous look. His eyes were completely unfamiliar to her. She swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. He was so fierce. She looked at the two people at the door, licked her lips, and lowered her head to move forward.

She comforted herself that he was tied up tightly and could not pose any threat.

Sitting opposite each other, she put her hands on the table, and while he was looking at her, she also glanced at him.

Their eyes met, and she blinked her right eye, flirting. The man shifted his posture, his trousers straining against his chest. He felt a little irritated, and was about to taunt her, but he forced himself to hold it back, pursing his lips and lowering his head to see what she was going to do next.

It wasn't bad, compared to being unconscious and unresponsive, lying there like a cool corpse.

He had forgotten the past, along with his own name. Who was the woman across from him? A captor trying to gain his trust?

The sentries hid aside and did not disturb the two. He was much more stable than yesterday and friendlier than others.

Captain Xia doesn't trust others. After being subdued, he pretended to agree, but from the surveillance footage, he was still trying to escape. They couldn't keep him locked up forever, as he was not a criminal.

"Who are you?"

She was prepared for this and said bluntly, "I'm your friend, or rather, closer."

"You are my sentinel."

A stack of photos was flattened and held up one by one to show him. "This was taken by the surveillance camera at the gate on the day you brought me back."

"Team photo."

She pointed to each person in the photo and read out their name, "Don't you remember? We served for so many years and ate and lived together."

The man shook his head, unimpressed. "Can I take a closer look?"

Of course no problem. She arranged the photos and handed them over. When handing them over, their fingers touched lightly but quickly separated.

The back of her fingers rubbed against her palm, making her feel itchy. Xia Guangli looked up, but the other party seemed unaware, holding her chin in a daze. She was distracted. What was she thinking about at this time?

The man withdrew his gaze and looked through the photos, including the small photo he saw when he just woke up. It was indeed her.

But she, from what he observed, had a close relationship with the others, and when he realized this, a nameless anger rose in him.

She was staring at the photo he was holding in his hand. There were old bloodstains on it, staining half of the woman's face red. The timing was right, so he was holding it in his hand.

"How did we meet?"

It was time for the Q&A session, and he was verifying the authenticity of the information, and she immediately started telling the story.

The woman's lips opened and closed, revealing her upper and lower teeth, and her tongue curled up. She spoke for a long time, fluently and coherently, with every detail matching each other. Even the content he hadn't asked about came out of her like pouring beans.

Before he could hear enough, the pleasant female voice stopped abruptly. She touched her throat and tilted her head back. A cup of warm water was handed to her from behind at the right time, and white mist rose.

"Carl."

He had some impression, but when he saw the two of them smiling at each other, he frowned unconsciously. She drank most of the glass of water, soaked her lips, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any impression?"

Xia Guangli: "You are right."

"So, my dear guide, when is my birthday?"

His smug expression came to an abrupt end. Unfortunately, he hadn't had his birthday yet this year.

She had clearly looked at the file not long ago. She closed her eyes and recalled the shape of the numbers on the paper. "It should be December..."

She looked back, thinking perhaps the team members knew, but the next second, the table vibrated and the man knocked on the table with his knuckles, two thuds that drew her attention back.

"Is there anything else you know about me?"

Xu Shanshan: "You are not picky about food and you don't like potatoes."

The man spread his hands and asked, "Is that all?" She added a little more, but in the end, she still didn't understand it very well.

You can't blame her for this. She's busy with work and has so many men that she can't remember them all.

Her head gradually lowered, her hands retracted, and she didn't dare to look at him as if she had done something wrong. Occasionally, when they looked at each other, there was still a sense of resentment, as if he was making things difficult for her, which made people angry and amused.

It was half-truth, but he could sense the kindness.

Thinking that she had said something wrong and would only make people wary, she decided to pause and advise him to rest well first.

"It was my fault for not taking our matter to heart."

The woman raised her eyes and said dejectedly, "I'm afraid I can't be a good guide for you. I'm sorry. Let's reconsider our relationship. I don't mean to tie you up to death."

"According to the regulations, you will be accompanied by others to adapt to life in the White Tower. You will then be free, but please do not harm others."

At first, he crossed his hands and formed a triangle, waiting for her explanation calmly. He wanted to hear her corrective actions rather than those two words.

When the word "break up" came out of her mouth, a nerve in her forehead throbbed, her heart was inexplicably panicked, the pulses in her limbs and torso beat in unison, and her ears buzzed.

The woman put the photos away and walked out.

He kept recalling her graceful back, but he couldn't remember clearly. He kowtowed in pain. "Click", the door opened, and she disappeared into the crowd of men.

They swarmed over like sharks smelling blood, and her body and breath were enveloped by others, never to be seen again.

"Shanshan, don't go——"

The words came out of his mouth, and he was very surprised and stunned. When she turned around, he realized that it was he who said it.

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, expressions of delight, waiting for him to say something else, but nothing happened.

Man, your body is very honest. Xu Shanshan turned around, tilted her head and leaned against the wall, stretched out her right hand, "Come here."

Like calling a dog, he stood up subconsciously, but was quickly pulled back by the chain, causing the collar to dig into his flesh. Only then did he look down at his hands.

She gestured to Song Xiaoyu to help unlock the handcuffs. When he slowly came over, she touched the side of his face and chuckled softly, "You don't remember, huh?"

"I was wrong." He slid to his knees so quickly, "I shouldn't have forgotten you."

She pulled her hand back, but the man grabbed it with both hands. It must be something precious, so her mind subconsciously told herself not to lose it.

"Hey, but I can't remember your birthday."

Xia Guangli: "That's not important."

She had a shy expression and also started to laugh, with her hands behind her back as he was held in his arms. He had become a little thinner, probably from lying in bed.

A moment of warmth, her palm against her back, unbelievable, she thought... her nose was sore, she said in a muffled voice: "We all miss you very much."

"Don't be afraid or resist rehabilitation, okay? Forget the past and start over."

Xia Guangli: "Don't start over," a trembling voice came from above his head, "Our relationship remains unchanged."

She agreed, wiped his tears, and after comforting him, she prepared to go home because he had to be examined.

"Will you come tomorrow?"

She pretended to be hesitant, grabbed her hand and clasped it tightly, then leaned over and gave her a kiss, saying, "If you behave better, I'll come every day."

"It's a deal."

With the help of the guide, Xia Guangli and many other sentinels who were injured in the war gradually recovered and returned to normal life in a stable and peaceful day.

A few months later.

In the bedroom, she finished changing her clothes and turned down the invitation: "I'm not free today. I'm going to eat Veteran BBQ."

The bright sunshine poured in through the window, bringing warmth. She grabbed her coat, opened the door and left.

Two people were waiting outside the door. They each gave her a hug, took the items from her hand, and the three of them went downstairs.

The two of them were riding together, hands clasped together and placed on their thighs. She looked out the window, feeling a weight on the right side of her neck. When she turned around, she found Xia Guangli leaning over, this clingy guy.

Xia Guangli: "Have we been here before?"

She shook her head and said, "We haven't been here."

To be honest, he made the people in the car feel disgusted. He deliberately turned his face to the side, and when she turned her head, they almost kissed each other. He kept leaning up, but he was so heavy that he would crush her.

Song Xiaoyu: "This is a newly developed urban area."

"Oh." A cold response.

He rolled his eyes, clenched his fists, and told himself that this was the deputy captain and he couldn't beat him. He looked at the others and was also speechless.

Ever since he woke up, he had been monopolizing the guide, always causing trouble when she was with others, being cold, hungry, having a headache, being afraid of the dark...

How could they not know he was afraid of the dark? He was very skilled at opening the pollutants, had excellent test scores, and could follow all kinds of instructions with ease, yet he had no memory of the past.

He's whining again, I can't stand it any longer, there's no need to stand it any longer.

Song Xiaoyu put her hand on the backrest of the front seat. When she looked up, her hair was pulled. She screamed in pain and covered her head to look back.

"Sorry," the man let go of her hand after meeting her eyes, and said angrily, "Did I hurt you?"

The woman shook her head and shook his hand back, feeling her temper smoothed out. "Never mind, just endure it for two more days," he thought.

Everyone arrived at the location, the barbecue grill was set up, the charcoal was smoking, and the fat was sizzling.

She sat on the spread-out placemat, marshmallow in hand, and arranged the fruit platter.

At the end of the gravel road, a little girl in a white dress staggered over, looked around to determine the direction, but was stopped two meters away, attracting the attention of many people.

Maybe she had lost her parents, so Xie Yifei squatted down, asked her name and where she came from, and prepared to call the police.

They were all tall men, and the girl shrank back to hide here. Her protective instinct burst out, so she moved over, squatted beside them, and handed her the marshmallow.

"Here you go, little sister. Don't be afraid, we'll take you to the police."

The girl, with baby fat still on her face and chubby little hands, turned on the music box and the music started playing. "Thank you, sister."

The cute child wasn't crying, but why was he staring at her? A delicate music box and a crystal bear spun on the stage, non-stop for a long time.

The girl said softly, "Sister, I want to tell you something in private."

"Okay, come with me."

She lowered the volume and carried her to the other side, not far away. Given their hearing ability, it was like trying to cover up one's own faults.

After hearing a burst of compliments, she rubbed the other person's head and said, "What do you want to say, baby?"

"elder sister."

She stopped eating the marshmallow and whispered, "My brother likes you very much, but..." She pointed the protruding stick at everyone and started to tell tales, "They won't let him talk to you."

"Is there such a thing?"

She was surprised. So this guy was a messenger. How brave! If she were a little girl again, she wouldn't dare to find love for her brother.

"Hey, little girl, what's his name?" Ares squatted down like a small mountain, coaxing a child, "Tell me, I'll introduce him to you."

But she was obviously not easy to fool, so he didn't reply and only told her: "He always said he wanted to marry you." His words were very serious.

She almost couldn't swallow the breath she was taking, and opened her eyes wide. This couldn't be said, so she took out some sweets from her pocket and covered her mouth with them.

"Baby, you might be mistaken."

"I won't make a mistake. There are photos of you in his room, and there's even a screen saver—"

"elder brother!"

Speak of the devil, and here he is. Beitai emerged from the woods, covered in leaves. He followed the location, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

She must have been attracted by something, and when he caught her, he would give her a good lesson.

But when he saw her, the man stopped and the petals fell in due time, like a rain, sprinkling on his shoulders. Then he noticed the others, whose expressions were gloomy, and he walked forward.

"Miss Guide, my sister, I hope she's not bothering you."

He was a little at a loss, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they felt unfamiliar. He took a closer look and saw that his sister's pockets were full of candies given by others. This greedy guy.

"It's okay, she's very cute." It turns out that both the brother and sister like sweets.

The two began to chat awkwardly about topics such as weather, dinner, holidays, etc., and finally handed the child over to his family and returned the music box.

The girl was carried away with both hands. She looked at her and then at her brother. She pressed the button and the music changed to a wedding march. The box opened, revealing the inner layer.

"Sister, this is the ring he bought for you. He has kept it for a long time. I'm giving it to you."

His good sister, several eyes gathered, if he had energy, he would have been shot through. She was bold, but this was too much, and quickly explained: "It's just nonsense from a child, don't take it to heart."

My sister wanted to explain, but he covered her mouth and she could only make grunting sounds, while she kept bowing and apologizing.

She really couldn't resist the cute child, so she reached out to pinch her cheek, but her wrist was grabbed, and before she knew it, a group of people gathered around her.

"Shanshan, aren't we enough?"

"That's not what I meant..."

Forget it, Beitai was smart enough to leave quickly. The girl was sandwiched under her armpits, and her two short legs were twisting. After a while, she seemed to hear the sound of spanking. She hoped that the girl was okay.

A few minutes later, Beitai looked at the computer and saw a message: [Please do not approach my guide]

At night, when he opened the forum, he saw the breaking news and the man changed his status to: heartbroken.
