On the contrary, his gaze became more determined.
On the way back, she was still thinking about how to talk to the Duan family about this matter so that they would agree.
After all, if they didn't agree, she would feel embarrassed to let Shui En and Mu En take care of them for a while.
Now, the first conversation with Fan Huifang can be regarded as a draft in advance. It should be much easier to talk to the Duan family tomorrow.
"You know, I'm writing now. As a writer, I can't just turn a deaf ear to what's happening outside and sit at home all year long, relying on my imagination to write."
"The country has suffered such a devastating disaster, so many lives have been lost, so many people have lost their loved ones. I can't pretend to know nothing and then peacefully write about the peaceful years at home. I can't do that, I would despise myself."
"Besides, Xichuan is also involved in this disaster relief effort. I feel that I shouldn't just stand by and do nothing. As for any dangers or difficulties we might encounter, I believe that with the help of the disaster relief soldiers, we'll be able to resolve them!"
"Xiaobei, you really deserve to be married to a soldier. You are more open-minded than Sister Huifang. I never thought about saving any disaster."
"Sister Huifang, you can't say that. We are in different environments."
"I've lived in a military compound for two years, interacting with a multitude of soldiers who care deeply about their country. If my thinking hasn't been influenced by them at all, then wouldn't it be a waste of two years of living there?"
"Besides, if Shui'en and Mu'en grow up and know that their mom was as brave as their dad and went to the disaster area to provide disaster relief, I believe they will be proud to have such a brave mom!"
"Xiaobei, are you doing this to set an example for the two children?"
"Haha, that's part of the reason, and another part..."
Shen Xiaobei lowered his head slightly shyly, and paused.
Then he looked up and continued, "Sister Huifang, I won't hide anything from you anymore. Another reason is that I really want to experience the feeling of doing something together with Xichuan and fighting side by side."
"You know, he's a soldier. I can only observe his profession from afar, never getting to know him up close. Sometimes, I even feel a little regretful that even though I followed him into the army, I never had the chance to see him at work."
"Now, I have this opportunity, so I don't want to miss it."
"Xiaobei, you are truly a romantic woman to the core! If Xichuan knew that you went to the disaster area as a volunteer and that this was a thoughtful gesture, he would definitely be very touched."
"Haha, Sister Huifang, this is actually a little selfish of mine, something I can't share publicly. I'm only telling you this and won't tell anyone else, including Xichuan."
"Once a woman is married and has children, it's hard for her to do things like a man, especially like a soldier, who can completely abandon petty emotions for the greater good."
"I am a woman who wants both justice and love. So, Sister Huifang, I am actually very greedy, hahahaha..."
"Xiaobei, you are not greedy at all. You are living truthfully and clearly. You don't deceive yourself and others. You know what you want."
"Sister Huifang, do you support me volunteering in the disaster area?"
"You have so many reasons to want to do this, and each of them moves me so much. How can I not support you? I support you, Xiaobei. Just go ahead. Sister Huifang will be here praying for your safe return."
"Thank you, Sister Huifang. I knew you would understand me!"
With Fan Huifang's support, Shen Xiaobei hugged her with tears in his eyes.
Sure enough, although they have been separated for two years, they are still the same as before. They used to eat, live and work together, and the spiritual connection between them, which is not that of sisters but better than that of sisters, is still there.
