Chapter 594 The Decisive Battle
"No, he's not a soldier." Wen Ni shook her head with a faint smile. "But it's all fate, I guess. His father is my battalion commander, and his grandfather is a senior leader in the military region. By some twist of fate, I became his bodyguard. At first, he acted quite aloof, but he's actually very calculating. He's just a shy, insecure, and secretly passionate tsundere!"
This series of comments and wording were something Wen Ni had never mentioned to anyone.
If Lu Jinye heard this, he'd probably blush, glare at her, and deny it to the death.
“Miss Wen Ni, I’ve remembered everything you said. I’ll tell you when I get back…” Qin Yuan’s eyes narrowed as she listened, about to say that she would tell Master Lu when she got back.
But he stopped halfway through his sentence.
go back?
them……
Is it possible to go back?
Wen Ni noticed his low spirits, but lowered her eyes dismissively and continued, "He seems impeccable, keeping everyone at arm's length. In reality, he just doesn't know how to interact with people. Like his constant probing at the beginning, he just wanted to prove that he was important to me too. Only after confirming that did he dare to take a trembling step. He was so cautious, it made people feel sorry for him..."
"It's rare to hear our aloof young lady talk so much. If I had the chance, I'd really like to meet your boyfriend. To be liked by a woman like you, he must be an exceptional person," Liang He remarked, suppressing his curiosity before turning his gaze to Qin Yuan. "Speaking of which, I forgot to ask. How did you and Wen Ni meet? At first, I thought... you two were a couple. Luckily, I wasn't presumptuous, or I would have made a huge misunderstanding!"
"I...I...How could I be a couple with Miss Wen Ni?" Qin Yuan stammered, a blush rising to his forehead. He hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm...I'm her boyfriend's bodyguard..."
“They’re brothers,” Wen Ni added.
"Yeah, right! Brother and bodyguard!" Qin Yuan's tongue was a bit thick, and he scratched his head awkwardly before quickly throwing the words back at Liang He, "Why are you only talking about us here? Commander Liang, tell me, what's the deal with that girl you like?"
"Ah..." Liang He was startled, glancing subconsciously at his severed arm, but only for a second. He forced a smile, "Our story begins when we were very, very young..."
"Oh? You were childhood sweethearts? Tell us, tell us!"
"You guys are really good at gossiping."
"Speak quickly, don't waste time!"
"Hmm... okay, okay. It was when she was five years old that she moved from the countryside to the city for the first time..."
Under the starry night sky, amidst the ruins of war.
They were like two or three carefree young men and women, sitting in that corner of the world, chatting freely.
It is the calm before the storm, and the dawn before the night falls!
Everyone knew perfectly well that after tonight, a hellish world awaited them!
The sun rose in the east as usual.
The entire city of Fuping was engulfed in endless gunfire more fiercely and tragically than ever before!
The cold shells burned in the scorching fire, flying down like stones of all sizes!
They crashed down on buildings that were already in ruins, destroying one after another. Many Burmese civilians who hadn't had time to escape wept bitterly under the barrage of artillery fire!
They dragged their broken bodies and the corpses of their loved ones, running desperately, not knowing where they could escape to!
"Mom, why?"
"Why? Aren't we citizens of the Burmese? Why are the Burmese firing their cannons at us?"
The young mother was unable to answer her child's innocent questions; only tears of blood streamed down her face, a deeply moving sight.
In order to prevent any Chinese soldiers trapped in Fuping City from escaping, the Burmese officers besieging the city issued an order stating that anyone in Fuping City who provided food to the Chinese army would be a traitor and would be treated the same as the Chinese soldiers!
They were determined to abandon their own people and raze the entire city of Fuping to the ground.
"Come quick! This way, over here!"
"Hurry, hurry, the artillery fire is coming!"
In Fuping City, while dealing with all possible dangers around them, the Chinese soldiers also had to expend effort to evacuate these innocent Burmese civilians!
At this moment, they truly embodied the principle of treating everyone without borders or discrimination. Even when facing mortal danger, they refused to abandon anyone, even if they were citizens of an enemy country.
"Wen Ni! Where is Wen Ni?"
"I'm here, Commander Liang!"
Wen Ni came over carrying a rifle.
Her military uniform was covered in patches and looked dirty at first glance. Her military boots had been through many battles and were worn to varying degrees, but they were still wearable.
"It seems our previous plan to break out will have to change again. This time, we not only need to get some of our own soldiers out, but also help these refugees in the city to evacuate safely!" Liang He shouted at the top of his lungs, leaning against the crumbling wall next to him amidst the deafening roar of artillery fire.
"Brigadier General Liang! What time is it! We might not even be able to leave our own people, how can we have time to care about these Burmese civilians?" Several officers, considering the actual situation, disagreed. "They are Burmese people after all. I don't believe that Burmese people would be so ruthless as to slaughter even their own people?"
"Those beasts are capable of anything. So many lives are at stake, we can't just sit idly by!" Liang He spat fiercely, wiping the sweat mixed with mud from his forehead with his dirty sleeve!
"Even if we stand idly by, we haven't done anything wrong!" the officer shouted. "How did their troops treat our citizens when they invaded western Yunnan? Two provinces, so many people killed! Did they ever show any mercy to our people?"
They communicated in Mandarin.
Some of the Burmese civilians around them didn't understand much, but they vaguely sensed something. They were tense and uneasy, huddled together like stray dogs, their timid and shifty eyes darting back and forth in front of the officers, awaiting their verdict in terror!
“That being said, these Burmese civilians helped us a lot while we were hiding in Fuping City. Have you all forgotten? They gave us all that food and supplies! We can’t forget their kindness at a time like this! We must help them survive!”
Hearing Liang He's words, only Wen Ni nodded silently and asked, "What does Commander Liang plan to do?"
When Wen Ni first met Liang He, she thought he was a cold-blooded and ruthless commander. But after getting to know him, she discovered his multifaceted nature. He also had a kind and gentle side; a tough guy with an exceptionally soft heart.
This reflects the majority of Chinese people: no matter when, they always have a precious kindness in their hearts and bones!
