Chapter 114 I dare not express my reluctance (Seeking monthly votes)
"Luo Zilan didn't do it on purpose. The ones who deserve to die the most are those enemies. If it weren't for them, so many good people wouldn't have died."
“That’s right, Luo Zilan didn’t want things to turn out this way either.”
Hearing someone speak up for her, Luo Zilan cried even harder.
Shen Jiang's expression changed repeatedly, his deliberately restrained voice laced with anger, "I don't want to see the same thing happen again, Luo Zilan, you don't deserve to be forgiven."
After saying that, Shen Jiang left the tent and went outside to clear his head.
Wang Jing followed him out and walked alongside him for a while.
It took Shen Jiang a while to calm down his anger. When he turned around, he found that Wang Jing was still there.
This feeling of being nervous around seems quite nice.
Shen Jiang quickly walked to Wang Jing's side, looked at her nose which was red from the cold, rubbed his hands together and put them on her face, intending to warm her up, but ended up generating static electricity.
"Wow...you hit me with something in your hand." Wang Jing's eyes widened.
"I don't know either, it just happens when it gets cold."
"Are you still angry? Are you here to cause me trouble?" Wang Jing pretended to be angry.
Shen Jiang shook his head repeatedly, denying it, "No, you didn't do anything wrong, why would I cause you trouble?"
"Are you going to cause me trouble just because I did something wrong?"
"No, I didn't mean that. Don't overthink it." Shen Jiang was a little nervous; he was genuinely worried that Wang Jing was truly angry.
Looking at his earnest explanation, Wang Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Haha, you're so easy to fool."
"So you were just acting all along. Oh, you even fooled me. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."
Shen Jiang picked up some snow from the ground, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it in Wang Jing's direction.
The snowball landed squarely at Wang Jing's feet and shattered into snowflakes.
Not to be outdone, Wang Jing immediately made several snowballs and threw them towards the direction of Chenjiang.
The two of them, after a while, temporarily put all their troubles behind them.
After making a fuss for a while, Wang Jing was a little tired, but Chen Jiang remained expressionless.
Wang Jing waved her hand, "I'm not coming anymore, I'm too tired, I want to rest."
She hid her hands behind her back as Shen Jiang walked towards her.
Wang Jing pointed to Shen Jiang's neck, "There seems to be something there. Squat down so I can take a look."
Shen Jiang indeed squatted down beside her. Wang Jing smiled and quickly placed her cold hand on his neck.
She ultimately did not choose to put the snowball on his neck.
The two were standing close together, and Shen Jiang turned his head and kissed her on the cheek.
Wang Jing was taken aback, and Shen Jiang explained earnestly, "It's a benefit of warming your hands."
Did you know I would put my hand on your neck?
"Actually, I saw you hiding a snowball a long time ago."
"Then why didn't you dodge? Why did you stupidly offer your neck up?"
"It's not like I was cheated by someone else. My wife just wants to make a fuss, so I just go along with it."
Shen Jiang spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.
Wang Jing withdrew her hand, suddenly realizing how childish she had been.
Shen Jiang grasped her hand and casually put it into his pocket.
His hands were warm, like a heater, gently enveloping her hands.
Wang Jing nervously looked around, afraid that others would see her.
"Let go quickly, your comrades will definitely laugh at us if they see us." Wang Jing was very embarrassed; she still couldn't bring herself to be intimate with Shen Jiang openly in public.
“Those with wives envy us for being like this, and those without wives envy us even more. We don’t need to care about other people’s opinions; life is something we have to experience ourselves,” Shen Jiang said earnestly.
Wang Jing could see the light of happiness in his eyes.
At this moment, he was genuinely happy.
Wang Jing wanted to say something more, but swallowed her words back down.
She will be parting ways with Shen Jiang in two days, so she will let him have his way for now.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The wounded soldiers have mostly recovered, and their attitude towards Luo Zilan is much better than before.
However, many people were reluctant to see Wang Jing leave.
Some people saw Wang Jing off, while others curiously asked her when she would come again.
Wang Jing replied to each of them, saying that she had successfully delivered the supplies, relieving their urgent need.
Shenjiang needs to stay here and prepare to fight together.
As a doctor, Luo Zilan also needed to stay behind with the team.
Everyone present wore a serious expression, except for Luo Zilan, who was genuinely happy.
She finally managed to outlast Wang Jing, and in the time that followed, she had the opportunity to get close to Shen Jiang.
Shen Jiang stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Wang Jing, filled with reluctance, but he couldn't say it aloud.
There are so many things I want to say, but at this moment, they can only be summed up in two words: "Take care."
"You too, take good care of yourself. I hope you'll be in the same condition when we meet next time."
"I will."
Wang Jing didn't say anything more, got into the car, and left with the vehicle in front.
Shen Jiang watched her leave until she was completely out of sight.
Regiment Commander Zhang patted Shen Jiang on the shoulder without saying anything more.
The journey back was fraught with danger but ultimately safe.
After reporting back to her unit, Wang Jing went home.
Lu Ting saw Wang Jing and Xu Qingmo appear together, and he had a lot to say, but in the end he only said one simple sentence, "You're back, that's great."
When Xu Qingmo was about to leave, she told Lu Ting about it. Lu Ting insisted on going too, but Xu Qingmo threatened him that if he dared to go, she would never talk to him again.
Although Lu Ting was very worried, he had witnessed Xu Qingmo's prowess and prayed every day at home that they would return safely soon.
"Lu Ting, have you been eating properly lately?" Wang Jing asked with concern. She noticed that Lu Ting was deliberately turning his head to the side, only showing his left cheek and not his right, and she immediately became suspicious. "What happened to your face?"
"It's nothing, I just slept in a stiff neck recently," Lu Ting chuckled dryly.
Xu Qingmo noticed that he had scars on his face, his skin was fair, and when he lied, his cheeks flushed red, and his eyes flickered with nervousness.
"To be honest, who slapped you in the face?" Xu Qingmo asked.
Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Lu Ting had no choice but to tell the whole story.
"Not long after you left, Wang Xiaohu wanted to come here to eat again. I refused, so he called a few people to ambush me on my way home from school and beat me up."
Xu Qingmo clenched her fists; Wang Xiaohu had gone too far.
She had given him so many delicious treats before, but instead of restraining himself, he actually took advantage of Lu Ting when she wasn't around.
Xu Qingmo already considers Lu Ting as family and will not allow outsiders to bully him.
"Actually, my injury doesn't hurt at all. It's almost lunchtime, let's eat." Lu Ting tried to make the atmosphere more pleasant.
Xu Qingmo glanced at the sky, which was gradually darkening. Wang Xiaohu, who was craving food, should be arriving soon.
