Chapter 170 Han Yue's Profession of Love: Straight to the Point, She Wants to Pursue You
"Although this sounds like a really bad pickup line, unfortunately, you're right."
After saying this, Su Hanyue glanced at Jiang Xiuyuan, let go of his hand, and walked forward.
"Keep up."
She said coldly.
Jiang Xiuyuan touched his nose guiltily.
He genuinely had no recollection of it.
However, to be fair, anyone would be angry if they met an old friend again but were treated like a stranger, especially if they had any temper.
If they really do know each other, then he was indeed in the wrong first.
Not to mention, Su Hanyue just saved him.
Jiang Xiuyuan had no choice but to obediently follow along.
She walked silently, but in reality, her mind was frantically searching for the name Su Hanyue.
That doesn't make sense. How could he not remember?
Although he wasn't very good at studying, he could always remember things that happened in his life and people he met, as long as they weren't related to studying. Moreover, Su Hanyue's personality and appearance were very distinctive, so if he had interacted with her before, there was no way he wouldn't recognize her...
It was only ten minutes to get to the campsite, but Jiang Xiuyuan had been thinking about it the whole way and still hadn't figured it out.
Among the staff accompanying the program were professional medical personnel.
Shen Yuning's wound was obvious, and since she was walking in front, she was the first to receive bandaging.
Seeing that Jiang Xiuyuan was about to avoid the crowd again, Su Hanyue pulled him forward again and threw him directly in front of the medical staff.
"Please help him bandage up too."
Upon hearing this, Luo Luo noticed that Jiang Xiuyuan was also injured.
Luo Luo's face suddenly turned pale. "Jiang Xiuyuan, you..."
Guilt grew in her heart, and Luo Luo regretted her carelessness, feeling even more sorry for Jiang Xiuyuan.
Shen Yuning, pale-faced, looked at Jiang Xiuyuan with equal concern, "Mr. Jiang, your wound is still bleeding, nurse, give him..."
"I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Jiang Xiuyuan disliked such occasions the most.
It seems like he's the one being pitied.
What a joke! Does he, the dignified Fourth Young Master Jiang, need others to sympathize with him?
So Jiang Xiuyuan flicked his nose with his thumb, looking arrogant.
"A real man fights; scars are a man's badge of honor."
"Shall I give you two more cuts?"
Su Hanyue's cool voice followed closely behind, like a bucket of cold water being poured on him, thwarting Jiang Xiuyuan's attempt to show off.
"Enough with the nonsense, treat the wounds, and get back down the mountain quickly."
After saying this, Su Hanyue turned around and instructed her two other comrades to take stock of the evacuees.
-
Because this operation was a deliberate attempt to lure out the enemy, almost all the other staff members were disguised as special police officers.
Only a few guests knew the truth.
Qin Shu was the one who had previously negotiated with the special police. He and Zhou Dahai were jointly commanding this operation, so Su Hanyue went directly to him.
"Mr. Qin, please take stock of the personnel information. We will now arrange to descend the mountain."
After hearing Luo Luo's cries for help, everyone followed Zhou Dahai and the others. Later, seeing that none of them were in any danger and it was just a false alarm, Qin Shu escorted everyone back to the camp to avoid blocking their way.
As for this...
"We've already checked everyone. Zachary was the only guest absent. Infrared video detection confirmed he was one of the arsonists, and he was just arrested by the police. All other unrelated personnel are here, and everything has been packed up; we're ready to evacuate at any time."
"That's good."
Su Hanyue felt relieved and turned to look at Jiang Xiuyuan.
Thanks to the skilled techniques of the medical staff, his wound has been properly treated.
Shen Yuning was speaking to him, "Mr. Jiang, thank you so much for earlier. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."
"You're welcome."
Jiang Xiuyuan waved his hand, "I am a soldier of the people. Even if it wasn't you, I would have rushed up if it had been any other stranger."
Protecting the country and safeguarding the people was the oath he made to the national flag on the very first day he embarked on this path.
"Now you're speaking like a human being?"
Su Hanyue's voice came again, and Jiang Xiuyuan's newly established air of confidence deflated instantly, like a balloon punctured...
"Su Hanyue, are you just determined to sabotage me, huh..."
Doesn't he have any pride?
Jiang Xiuyuan was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Time is of the essence, we need to start evacuating now. There's no time to put on a show for you."
Su Hanyue glanced at Jiang Xiuyuan and gave her comrade a look. "The backup has been arranged. You two go first, the rest of you go in the middle. I'll bring up the rear with Jiang Xiuyuan and we'll evacuate via the mountain path we arranged beforehand."
After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Xiuyuan's agreement, she grabbed his hand and pulled him aside.
Jiang Xiuyuan: ...? ? ! !
"No, you can talk, but why do you keep touching me?"
After saying this, Jiang Xiuyuan met Su Hanyue's cool gaze and felt that she had been presumptuous, but she subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"You're not after my good looks, are you?"
Su Hanyue raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest in her eyes. "Finally remembered?"
"What's there to remember? I..."
Jiang Xiuyuan was halfway through her sentence when a sudden burst of information exploded in her mind.
When Su Hanyue saw him suddenly cut off the conversation, her expression returned to its previous cool state.
"Oh, it seems I still haven't remembered."
"Who said I didn't remember!"
After Jiang Xiuyuan finished his rebuttal, he looked at Su Hanyue with a complex expression.
There was embarrassment, awkwardness, shame, and many other complex emotions that are hard to describe.
It was as if oil paint had been spilled; it was absolutely brilliant.
Su Hanyue looked at him like this, her arms crossed.
"Just say it when you remember."
Jiang Xiuyuan opened her mouth, but still couldn't say anything.
With so many people watching, even Qin Shu, who was carrying his luggage, stopped and looked over. How could he possibly feel comfortable doing this?
Most importantly, he wasn't afraid of being embarrassed.
It was because they were afraid Su Hanyue would feel embarrassed.
"Three years ago, in recruit camp..."
Jiang Xiuyuan mumbled a few words and then stopped talking.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiuyuan was still not familiar enough with her.
"It seems you don't have Alzheimer's yet."
Su Hanyue laughed, her previously world-weary and cold face suddenly bursting with joy.
"Now that you remember, why are you afraid to say it? So what if I wrote you a love letter and got rejected? I'm not embarrassed at all, so why are you embarrassed?"
? ? ! !
Everyone present was stunned.
etc.
What did they hear?
Su Hanyue wrote love letters to Jiang Xiuyuan...?!
When Song Ying learned that Jiang Xiuyuan was injured, she originally wanted to go over and check on him, but since there were always people around him, she decided to wait.
Before she could even step forward, she heard this shocking news.
Then she thought about how Su Hanyue had shown concern for Jiang Xiuyuan earlier.
The foot that had been stepped out was silently retracted.
She'd better not be a third wheel...
Finally, cabbages have come knocking on my door for my pig; I can't let him have his fun.
Thinking this through, Song Ying coughed lightly.
"Well, time is of the essence, let's hurry down the mountain. The western slope has already been checked and the mountain path is safe. We can take the cable car down directly. Let's get there quickly."
Qin Shu saw through his wife's thoughts at a glance and also helped urge everyone to set off.
Jiang Xiuyuan was completely stunned.
He wanted to avoid Su Hanyue, but someone was blocking his way.
I want to go together, but it feels strange.
Especially when he thought about their past relationship, he felt incredibly embarrassed.
What happened back then was simple in some ways.
Three years ago, in the recruit camp, he and Su Hanyue entered the camp for training in the same batch.
Because Grandpa Jiang taught him to shoot from a young age, Jiang Xiuyuan's marksmanship and physical fitness were the best among his peers, and he quickly became a star trainee among this batch of new recruits.
In addition, he is handsome and has a good physique, so many female soldiers would look at him during every training session.
At that time, Jiang Xiuyuan was young and arrogant, boasting that he had sealed his heart and refused to love, and acting all high and mighty.
On the night before he was to leave the camp after the special training ended, he received a love letter signed "Su Hanyue," which he immediately returned.
"I don't even date, my heart is only for my country. Dude, you'd be better off using that time to practice your marksmanship and physical fitness, so you don't become a hindrance on missions in the future."
At that time, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently.
A budding romance, initiated by an active gesture of affection, was nipped in the bud by the pretentious remarks of the veteran cadre Jiang Xiuyuan.
"Didn't they say that dating addicts don't date? Why are they all on dating reality shows now? Want me to hear them call out a few times?"
Su Hanyue's words are sharp and cutting; she really knows how to strike where it hurts.
Jiang Xiuyuan was so ashamed and indignant that she wanted to die, but she still tried to save face.
"I'm doing this for the mission!"
"For the mission? Or do you think they're so deeply in love that you can't even get in?"
"..." Jiang Xiuyuan was furious. "Yes, yes, you're right. I, the third wheel, have realized that there's no need to keep hanging on to one person. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
Su Hanyue nodded. "Since you've decided to let go, then I'm coming."
Jiang Xiuyuan: ...?
"No, what do you mean by that?"
What do you mean, "So you've finally arrived?"
Jiang Xiuyuan was completely devastated.
Su Hanyue glanced at Jiang Xiuyuan, thinking his IQ was questionable: "Haven't I made it obvious enough? I mean, since you've let go, then I'll continue to pursue you."
Jiang Xiuyuan: ...? ? ! !
Holy crap!
What the hell is this?!
"How many drinks did you have? Do you know what you're saying? Girl, you can't joke like that."
Jiang Xiuyuan was completely numb.
"If you hold a grudge, I'll apologize. I was out of my mind back then, I'm sorry. But that's been years, don't come after me now..."
“I wasn’t messing with you. But it was definitely a joke back then—I lost a dare and could only send you a love letter. But your response did pique my curiosity, which led me to improve my marksmanship and physical fitness over the past two years. So, sorry, Jiang Xiuyuan, I’m really going to pursue you now.”
After saying this, Su Hanyue glanced at Jiang Xiuyuan and walked forward.
Jiang Xiuyuan was left standing there, petrified.
Wait, what is all this about?!
But then again, Su Hanyue's marksmanship and physical speed just now did indeed surprise him.
Not many female soldiers can achieve this level of skill.
Moreover, if you think about it, Su Hanyue just saved his life.
But because he was saved, he was asked to repay the debt with his body...
Jiang Xiuyuan hugged herself tightly.
No, no, no, that won't do. That sacrifice is too great.
"Jiang Xiuyuan, are you still leaving or not?"
Su Hanyue, who had already walked some distance, suddenly turned around and called out to someone.
Jiang Xiuyuan came to her senses and realized that she had fallen behind.
"They're here."
He responded and quickly followed.
Fortunately, Su Hanyue then organized everyone to descend the mountain in an orderly manner and ignored him again.
Jiang Xiuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When it came time to board the cable car, Jiang Xiuyuan seized the opportunity to dawdle until the very end and boarded a cable car by himself.
Su Hanyue didn't know where she went, but as long as she wasn't with him, that was fine.
Jiang Xiuyuan patted his chest, still shaken.
This is outrageous; this is the first time he's ever been so afraid of bumping into someone.
To be honest, Su Hanyue is quite a strange person.
Aren't girls usually shy and embarrassed in relationships?
Since her confession back then was a misunderstanding, why did she only explain it to him and not tell anyone else? Wasn't she afraid that others would misunderstand her?
Now people outside are looking at him strangely, as if he were some kind of heartless man. She's not afraid of being found out that she confessed her feelings, nor does she feel awkward about it.
On the contrary, it made him, this tough guy, seem like someone else's fish on the chopping block.
Jiang Xiuyuan sighed, leaned back, and slid her whole body into the seat.
Just then, the cable car swayed.
A familiar figure came into view.
Jiang Xiuyuan jolted awake. He, who had been lounging around like a sly Ge You, suddenly shrank back like a mouse seeing a cat and sat up straight.
"You, what are you doing here?"
Why can't I be here?
Su Hanyue raised an eyebrow and sat down opposite Jiang Xiuyuan.
At the same time, the cable car doors closed and it began to glide.
"I'm in charge of bringing up the rear for this evacuation, so of course I should be at the very end. Besides, there are only six cable cars for the evacuation, and it would be such a waste to let you ride them all by yourself."
Before the cable car glides off, it passes through a brief, dark passage.
Su Hanyue's cool voice rang out at just the right moment.
Upon hearing the last half of the sentence, Jiang Xiuyuan inexplicably gleaned a different meaning.
—Is this a waste of resources referring to the cable car, or...?
The moment the thought arose, the darkness before my eyes was illuminated by light.
The sudden brightness shattered Jiang Xiuyuan's momentary reverie.
Above, the sky is filled with the rising sun.
The sky was ablaze with light, and the sunlight streamed down from the clouds.
Below, an endless expanse of yellow and red maple leaves stretches as far as the eye can see.
The autumn scenery covering the mountains is all within sight.
Let's get to know each other again—
Su Hanyue sat there, her posture upright, and extended her hand with neither humility nor arrogance. "Hello, Jiang Xiuyuan, I am Su Hanyue, a special police officer from Unit 325 of the Imperial Capital."
Jiang Xiuyuan looked up.
From his perspective, Su Hanyue at this moment seemed to be sitting in the morning glow, with the bright light surrounding her and the rising sun casting a halo around her.
Jiang Xiuyuan suddenly remembered that glance he had taken when he looked up from the mountain earlier.
The cold moon is her base color, and the blazing sun is her radiance.
She was as cold as the moonlight on a cold night, just like her name.
Yet it is also straightforward and passionate, like the rising sun.
Jiang Xiuyuan stretched out his hand, a stark contrast to his previous nonchalant attitude.
"Hello, Su Hanyue, I am Jiang Xiuyuan from the Continental Army Special Operations Team of the National Defense Forces."
