"I like you."
"Then why didn't you like me before?"
"I liked it before too~"
"Then why don't you explain?"
Xing Jianguo paused for a moment, as if he had answered the question.
Why did Su Xiaole transfer it back?
After thinking for a moment, seeing how heartbroken Su Xiaole was, he pulled her aside and said, "Xiaole, I'm just afraid your family won't approve of us being together! You know my family. If you're with me, you'll suffer. You might as well find someone from a well-off family."
After hearing his explanation, Su Xiaole became even angrier and said to him, "Are you satisfied now? My boyfriend is already on his way."
Xing Jianguo watched helplessly as Su Xiaole left him once again.
Yes! His crush is already on her way, so what right does he have to say he likes her?
He lowered his head dejectedly, stepping on the pebbles on the ground, and couldn't help kicking them back and forth a few times.
"Are you going on vacation and going home?" Lan Yuchu slowly approached him and asked.
Xing Jianguo glanced at Lan Yuchu, his eyes filled with sorrow, and said, "What would I do back in a family like that?"
With only an elementary school education, he was the breadwinner of his family from a young age.
If he hadn't had the opportunity to join the army, earned a place in a military academy through his military achievements, and later received a promotion, he might still be in some remote mountain village, perhaps still a lowly soldier, or maybe demobilized and going home to farm.
Despite being the youngest son in the family, he had to do the most work.
I sent most of my monthly income back to them.
With his salary, his eldest and second eldest brothers got married, and his second eldest sister and fourth youngest sister got married as well.
"Since you have such a long vacation, aren't you planning to go back?"
Lan Yuchu sometimes felt that Xing Jianguo was quite pitiful.
One person supported an entire family.
Xing Jianguo shook his head and said, "The money arrives every month, so what difference does it make whether I go back or not? They don't treat me like their own son."
Lan Yuchu looked at Xing Jianguo, opened her mouth to speak, but then choked back her words.
"I'm going back to my dorm," Xing Jianguo said to Lan Yuchu before leaving dejectedly.
Lan Yuchu didn't say anything and went straight to buy things to take home. He was thinking of cooking something delicious for his wife.
When he came back from shopping, his wife was still sleeping. He came in, glanced at her, pulled the blanket up for her, and then came out again to cook in the kitchen.
By the time he finished cooking, Lin Qiyue seemed to have a biological alarm clock; she would wake up around the time Lan Yuchu finished preparing the food.
Her whole body ached, and she slowly walked out, supporting her back.
I can already see the food that has been prepared on the table.
Pork ribs stewed with potatoes, stir-fried bok choy, and two steamed buns.
"Wife, you're awake?" Lan Yuchu came out of the bathroom.
He cooked a meal, and his whole body was covered in sweat.
He eagerly helped Lin Qiyue sit down, saying somewhat guiltily, "Wife~ I've made you some soup, I'll bring it out for you in a bit!"
After saying that, he got up and went to serve the soup.
Every time he bullied her too much, the man would always show concern afterward.
She had nowhere to vent her anger.
A moment later, Lan Yuchu brought out a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Lin Qiyue, whispering a reminder: "Wife, be careful not to burn your mouth."
Lin Qiyue picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of potato to eat.
She hadn't eaten anything all day, and hadn't even gotten out of bed since early morning, only waking up around three or four in the afternoon after he kept her up.
She ate a few pieces of potato, then a few pieces of pork ribs, and then drank a whole bowl of soup.
It ate her so much her stomach was about to burst.
Lan Yuchu had a large appetite; she ate a whole bowl of pork ribs stewed with potatoes, two steamed buns, and all the vegetables.
Seeing that he could eat so much, just like before, Lin Qiyue felt a little relieved.
"Honey~ I've actually been learning a lot about cooking from Sister Dong lately! I'll make you something delicious when I have time." She bought tapioca flour, thinking of making taro ball milk tea, but she'd been so busy lately that she'd forgotten.
Lan Yuchu nodded slightly and ate a couple of bites of meat, then added, "I love anything my wife makes."
His wife is actually a very good cook, she just doesn't like to cook.
Lin Qiyue saw that he had almost finished eating!
"Why didn't you tell me you were injured?" Lin Qiyue asked, his hand pausing for a moment.
He couldn't eat the last small bite of steamed bun he was holding.
He looked at his wife, put down his chopsticks, and immediately admitted his mistake, saying, "Wife, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, it was just too dangerous at the time, and I didn't allow them to tell you."
He lost too much blood and almost died.
The regimental commander, however, heroically sacrificed his life in that great battle.
He felt ashamed of dying at the hands of his own people and didn't know what to say.
“I’ve seen every part of your body. How could I not know you were injured?” Even though the scar had scabbed over, it was still clear that it was a fresh wound.
Lan Yuchu was very sad, but had nowhere to vent her emotions.
Lin Qiyue could not possibly be unaware that the family of their group leader, Wu Songgui, had arrived at the guesthouse a few days ago.
People from their group gradually returned; many must have died this time.
Lan Yuchu lowered her head and said guiltily, "Ding Wen is still in the city hospital, unconscious! We were ambushed on our way to carry out the mission! Many people died, and they were all suppressed! The regimental commander died while protecting us to break through the encirclement!"
He covered his face with his hands. The whole group went out to carry out a mission and almost got wiped out.
He was injured, but he pulled through and returned to continue his mission.
