Chapter 281: Are you willing to wait for me?
"No, how can I let Brother Yu carry me? He is still injured!" Sun Ling'er was afraid that Su Mu would agree, so she quickly refused.
Jiang Yu was also happy to see them succeed, without making any statement, waiting for them to figure it out on their own.
Su Mu felt that what his sister said made sense. Besides, Ling'er was his senior sister, so it was okay to carry her on his back.
"Okay then, I'll carry you back."
Su Mu adjusted his posture with his back to her. Su Wan sighed, "Second brother is such a straight man."
Sun Ling'er climbed onto his back as she wished. Su Mu stood up easily with her on his back, and then walked forward with big strides like a fool.
Su Wan was embarrassed again. On such a romantic New Year's Eve and snowy day, couldn't we be a little romantic?
"Jiang Yu, Wanwan is in your hands. I'll take Ling'er back to rest first."
What a good brother he is. He didn’t forget his sister when he left.
"Don't worry, second brother, I will take good care of Wanwan." Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Seeing Su Mu carrying Sun Ling'er on his back and walking on the snow as if it were flat ground, Su Wan wanted to laugh.
Finally, the world was quiet, with only the two of them left. The snow became much lighter, and even God seemed to be favoring them.
Taking advantage of tonight, he planned to tell her in advance that he would go to the battlefield after the New Year.
But he was afraid that if the war continued for several years, would she be willing to wait for him?
Su Wan stepped on the snow, her shoes and socks got wet, her feet were cold and wet, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Are your shoes wet? Come, I'll carry you!"
As soon as Jiang Yu saw her satin shoes, he knew they must be soaked and she would catch a cold soon. He first reached out to help her put on the hood of her cloak, then squatted down and prepared to carry her on his back.
He is the kind of person who will take action directly when he needs something without asking you whether you want it or not!
Su Wan was touched by his attentiveness, and without any pretense, she simply lay on his back.
Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve memorized it.
Jiang Yu walked very slowly with her on his back. He was wearing waterproof boots and walked steadily on the snow. There was a row of lights on both sides of the road, so it was not difficult to see the road ahead.
Su Wan was on his back, brushing the snow off his hair from time to time.
"Wait a few days, I want to go down the mountain to Zhongzhou City!"
Su Wan took this opportunity to greet him in advance. She wanted to go to Zhongzhou early to check out the workshops and shops so that she could go home early after finishing them.
"Okay, I'll go with you then." He would never refuse any of her requests.
"I have something to tell you too!" Jiang Yu also wanted to mention that he was going to the front line after the New Year.
"Well, you talk and I'm listening." Su Wan put her arms around his neck and rubbed her face against his.
Jiang Yu felt itchy in his heart because of her little action. He really wanted to put her down and hold her face and kiss her.
Being with the person you love makes both of you happy.
"After the New Year, I will be going to the battlefield. I am the eldest son of the Duke of Jiang's mansion. My father and grandfather were both great generals who fought on the battlefield. The Jiang family has always fought for the country, and my generation is no exception. This time, I will be away for at least a year and a half, and at most three to five years..."
Su Wan didn't show any surprise when he heard this, but he tightened his arms around his neck silently.
She knew he was going to the front line, and that was also the case in the original book.
"Then you will be a great general in the future, and a great hero of the Jin Kingdom."
"It's not that easy. Even if I go to the front line, I have to start from the bottom as a soldier. This is the ancestral precept of the Jiangguo Mansion. If men of my generation go to the battlefield and want to command the army, they must earn military merits with their own abilities. Military positions are awarded according to the size of military merits. No one can just sit there and eat for free."
Duke Jiang is such a person. Even if the son is his own, he has to start from the same point as others. It is impossible for him to be any different just because he is his son.
"That's great. You earned your rank based on your own abilities. No one can say anything about it. I believe you will shine on the battlefield. In my heart, those who defend their country are all heroes. I don't know if you will be able to see my third brother when you go. He's alone in the barracks and doesn't know anyone. If you go, remember to look for him so you two can look after each other."
Su Wan was always thinking about her brother. In fact, after Jiang Yu left, he would go looking for Su Chen without her saying anything. Being on the same battlefield, she had to find a partner who could trust each other and whom she could trust with her back. Su Chen was the person he trusted. It had nothing to do with anything else, let alone Su Wan's face. He just felt that Su Chen was a brave and responsible man.
"I would do the same without you telling me. Then we can earn military merit together, help each other, and share the good and the bad!"
In the original novel, Jiang Yu and Su Chen developed a strong comradeship on the battlefield. They slept in the same bed and drank the same bowl of soup. Their friendship was based on several life-or-death experiences.
"I believe you!"
Su Wan knew that they could return safely from the battlefield, but there were twists and turns along the way. She was far away in Xiangzhou and was afraid that she could not be of any help. She could only remind them to be careful.
"Anyway, you all must remember to protect yourselves. Remember that there are people waiting for you to return. Don't be too greedy or reckless. If this is for the greater good of the country, you can't just do it for the sake of the country. You must also not let down those who are waiting for you..."
Whenever Su Wan thought of the suffering his third brother endured on the battlefield, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Since her appearance has changed so much of the plot and trajectory, hopefully, it will also allow Third Brother to suffer less!
"Then will you wait for me?"
Jiang Yu didn't know how to ask her to wait for him, but she herself said that someone was waiting for them to come back. Was that person her?
"What do you mean? Explain it clearly!" Su Wan didn't quite understand after hearing this.
What does it mean to be willing to wait for him?
"What I mean is, if I go away for several years before coming back, will everything be different when I come back?"
"What do you mean by 'things have changed and people have changed'? Am I no longer myself after you come back?" Su Wan knew exactly what he meant, but she was just teasing him.
Jiang Yu was anxious. Wasn’t his expression clear enough?
"I'm afraid that you won't see me for a few years and will fall in love with someone else." Jiang Yu was willing to do anything to pursue his wife. Anyway, no one else would know that he was so humble.
Oh~ So you’re afraid that she will fall in love with someone else.
"The dignified prince of Jiangguo, the young master of Fengyue Villa, was born a king. When did he become so unconfident?" Su Wan joked.
Jiang Yu felt helpless when he heard her teasing him seriously. He sighed and explained:
"No matter how good or noble my background is, I'm only human. As long as I'm human, I have selfish desires, and when I have selfish desires, I'm afraid of losing someone or something. I'm afraid of losing you, so I'm doing whatever it takes to keep you. Is that wrong?"
