Xu Mei's voice was so soft that it overlapped with the child's sharp cry.
A couple hurried over, carrying their child. The little boy, about four or five years old, twisted and turned in his mother's arms, crying, "No injection, no injection!"
The boy's mother was angry and distressed, and kept coaxing him. The couple had no time to look at the two of them at all. After a while, 꺳 went in again with the child.
The surroundings became quiet again. Qin Dongling turned and looked at her. "What did you say?"
Looking at him like this, could it be that he didn't hear clearly just now? Thinking about what he just said, Xu Mei felt a little shy, but she wanted to say it again.
"놖 said, 놖..."
"Xiaomei, thank you so much today,"
Qin Dongling unexpectedly took over the topic for the first time. "Not just today, from the day we first met until today, I am very grateful to you, appreciate you, and... like you."
This was probably the first time he revealed his feelings in front of Xu Mei.
Because he felt the temperature on his face gradually getting hotter, and he also saw clearly that Xu Mei's eyes slowly changed from surprise to gentleness.
This undoubtedly gave Qin Dongling the confidence to continue speaking.
"You are outstanding, independent, and brave. I read your chapters and letters over and over again."
Xu Mei could hardly control the expression on her face. No one else's affirmation was as important as Qin Dongling's.
It was normal for anyone not to love the halo she had spent two years creating. But Qin Dongling was different. He had been by her side during her most self-deprecating and bleak teenage years.
"You don't have your charm, your personality isn't interesting, and you don't even have much time to spend with me. Even the unit you're in is very dangerous and can't provide you with any protection."
Xu Mei's eyes were a little sore. "Are you expressing your feelings, or are you belittling yourself in disguise?"
She never thought these were a big deal, and was proud of Qin Dongling from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm not being disparaging, I'm telling the truth."
The sweetheart whom he had first met in a bookstore, walked with for many times on the streets, and exchanged letter after letter with, and whose eyelashes now had snowflakes hanging on them, was sitting next to him.
Qin Dongling looked at Xu Mei, even his breathing seemed so light, "Xiao Mei, after hearing this, are you still willing to marry 놖?"
He said the last words so sincerely. Looking at this scene, Xu Mei's thoughts suddenly drifted away.
When he came back to his senses, he heard Qin Dongling add, "You can refuse."
"Are you serious?" Xu Mei was both angry and amused. "How could I reject you?"
"Well, 놖 won't force you to do anything."
Xu Mei gently held his hand hanging by his side, "I really don't want to reject you."
…
The two of them didn't sit on the bench for too long, and Qin Dongling insisted on sending Xu Mei home.
Xu Mei was very worried about him.
But Qin Dongling, who was sober, had a very good sense of propriety. Xu Mei couldn't persuade him and was able to go home.
Unlike before when they kept a distance, this time on the way back, they were very close. When they walked through the alley outside the house, they both felt that the road was too short.
"Otherwise..." Xu Mei wanted to struggle.
Qin Dongling interrupted her directly, "Go back quickly, otherwise Auntie will worry... Wait until the family affairs are settled, and then come to visit Auntie in person."
The army did not receive any allowances during wartime, but everything was provided by the state. As a family member of a soldier, Qin 꿵's medical care was free, so the Qin family's savings were hardly used.
Since Xiaomei is willing to marry him, he will do his best to let her live a comfortable life.
"Okay." After hearing what he said, Xu Mei felt a little relieved.
With something to think about, Qin Dongling seemed to be in better spirits. She believed that the wound would heal slowly over time.
Standing at the door, waving again and again, Xu Meixiao walked into the house.
Guan Jinghua hadn't rested yet. When she heard some noise outside, she quickly put on her clothes and came out. She was very happy to see her back.
"Why didn't you tell Mom you were coming back today? Why didn't you bring your luggage?"
Apparently, she thought her daughter was on vacation.
Xu Mei explained: "It's not a holiday, I just want to go home."
I declined my mother's request to cook more, washed up, wrote my diary and lay down on the bed. An hour later.
Although it was already very late, Xu Mei did not feel sleepy at all.
When I think about the two of us getting married, an impulse seems to be brewing in my heart, and I am full of anticipation for our future life.
But...
Thinking back to the night before, Xu Mei felt shy and a little worried.
If she hadn't followed the original path, would her daughter still come back to her?
Over the years, Xu Mei has restrained herself from thinking about her daughter. She knows very well that it is useless to worry about the past. All she can do is to grasp the present.
She never thought about it, but just comforted him when he was sad, and the two decided to get married, and Qin Dongling didn't get drunk.
It was easier for people to control things than she thought.
That night, Xu Mei tossed and turned in bed and fell asleep very late.
In the next few days, she waited silently for Qin Dongling to come home.
Soon, the school was on vacation. After Xu Mei returned home, she kept looking outside the door, so often that even Guan Jinghua noticed something was wrong.
"Xiaomei, what are you looking at?"
Xu Mei was distracted. She repeated it twice before she came back to her senses.
Looking at her mother, she spent only a few minutes before deciding to tell her, "Mom, I have someone I like."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Guan Jinghua's eyes widened.
She stared at her daughter for a long time without saying anything.
Xu Mei also sat up straight. Ever since her mother took her away from the Xu family at the age of thirteen, she had always respected her and given her enough freedom.
These are all changes brought about by that nightmare.
Xu Mei didn't know what her mother dreamed about in the nightmare, and she was very worried about her mother's reaction to free love.
Guan Jinghua was indeed shocked, but soon calmed down.
"Tell me about him."
Seeing her mother's peaceful and calm look, Xu Mei felt relieved and told her the details of their long-term relationship.
When Guan Jinghua heard that Qin Dongling was in the army and had become a battalion commander, his expression became more relaxed.
"Since you think it's possible, let him come home and sit down, and let him help you take a look."
Xu Mei looked at her, "Mom, do you agree?"
"It's not quite an agreement. I need to see it myself to feel at ease."
Guan Jinghua sighed, "Actually, ever since they came here, I've hoped you'd find someone you like. Although free love is rare these days, Mommy hopes you'll be happy."
She abandoned her reputation and took her daughter away from the Xu family because she wanted her child to be happy throughout his life. How could she object?
Xu Mei sniffed and hugged her mother emotionally.
Once they get past their mother, no one can stop them.
