Meanwhile, Gu Tingzhou did not return.
He bought two bottles of liquor from the supply and marketing cooperative, and then, alone, walked across the grassland and found a place to sit down.
Then I started drinking alone in silence.
He doesn't drink alcohol when he's on duty, and he's not a big drinker.
But at this moment, only alcohol could numb the anguish in his heart.
"Song Ning, why won't you like me, even just a little bit?"
Gu Tingzhou tilted his head back and drank a mouthful of strong liquor. He felt a burning sensation in his throat, but it was nothing compared to the bitterness in his heart.
"What is it about me that I lack compared to Huo Beian? Is it just because I'm not as rich as him?"
Gu Tingzhou said this, but he knew in his heart that although he had no parents and no conflicts with his mother-in-law, his family was definitely not as wealthy as Huo Beian's.
Perhaps Song Ning didn't choose him because she looked down on his family background...
After all, Song Ning was a pampered young lady since childhood...
He worked so hard to change his fate and become the captain, but is he still inferior to others in terms of background...?
The thought of this made him feel sad, so he tilted his head back and took another sip of wine.
"I'm not reconciled... Song Ning... I can't bear to part with you..."
Gu Tingzhou muttered to himself as he drank.
It seems that only by pouring all his longing for Song Ning into the wine can he alleviate his inner anxiety.
As a result, he drank too much, and the alcohol made him dizzy and he passed out.
At this moment, Han Caiying, a military doctor, was bored at night, so she took a walk alone on the grassland.
She saw a man lying there from a distance.
"Who's lying here so late?"
Han Caiying walked over and, by the moonlight, looked at the man's face. She then realized that he seemed to be the train police officer who had visited the military base last time, named Gu Tingzhou.
"Captain Gu, why are you lying here?"
Han Chae-young tried to pull him up, but the man was too heavy and she couldn't move him at all.
what to do?
It's so late at night, we can't let him sleep here, can we?
What if I encounter bad people?
Moreover, wild animals often roam this area.
Han Chae-young had no choice but to sit down, thinking that she might as well wait until the man woke up before leaving.
At this time, the weather was still quite hot.
Han Caiying then found a large leaf nearby and used it to fan him.
As a result, the sky gradually darkened.
Her double eyelids started to droop, and she was about to give way.
"No, I'll try to find a way to wake him up."
Han Caiying then stepped forward and shook him vigorously.
"Wake up..."
In a daze, Gu Tingzhou opened his eyes as expected.
But in a state of semi-drunkenness, he saw the face in front of him, which seemed to resemble Song Ning.
"Song Ning, you came to see me... That's great..."
He pulled Han Chae-young into his arms.
Caught off guard, Han Chae-young was pulled into his arms and ended up lying on top of him in an extremely shameful position.
Her heart was pounding wildly; it was the first time she had ever been held in the arms of a strange man!
That sense of tension and ambiguity washed over me!
Even though it was just a case of mistaken identity!
“Hey...you seem to have mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Song Ning, I’m Han Chae-young.”
She tried to break free, but couldn't. She couldn't help but wonder, could this Gu Tingzhou also like Song Ning?
Song Ning is so lucky; Huo Bei'an likes her, and Gu Tingzhou likes her too...
As a result, Gu Tingzhou wouldn't let go at all, "No, you are Song Ning... Don't leave me..."
As he spoke, the grown man suddenly began to sob.
The arms around her neck tightened even more.
Han Chae-young felt a little reluctant, but she still struggled to break free from him and then slapped him across the face.
"Gu Tingzhou, please look carefully. Who am I?"
The slap hurt a bit, and only then did he realize that the woman's face in front of him was indeed not Song Ning.
"Who are you?"
"I am Han Caiying, a military doctor."
Realizing he was in an awkward situation, Gu Tingzhou instantly snapped to attention and sat up. "I'm sorry. I lost my composure just now."
Han Chae-young straightened her clothes before saying, "Now that you're awake, you should go home quickly. It's not safe here. Since you're alright, I'll be leaving."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
But he stopped her when he called out to her.
"Wait a moment--"
"Is there anything else?"
"Could you sit down with me and have a chat?"
Gu Tingzhou suddenly felt a little awkward, but he was really lonely at the moment, and he wanted to talk to someone.
Han Chae-young was taken aback at first, but then nodded.
She then sat down.
The two started chatting casually.
Through their conversation, Han Caiying learned that Gu Tingzhou was Song Ning's childhood friend and had always liked her.
Song Ning is so lucky; both of these outstanding men love her so much.
I'm so envious!
"The feeling of loving someone you can't have is really painful. What should I do?"
Gu Tingzhou stretched out his slender fingers, ran them through the hair on his forehead, and crossed his hands in front of his forehead.
Han Chae-young felt a pang of pity and comforted him, "Perhaps you should try letting go. If Song Ning really liked you, why would she have waited until now?"
"But I think I can definitely move her... even if feelings develop over time."
“But being moved isn’t the same as love. Besides, Battalion Commander Huo is so outstanding. He’s every girl in our unit’s dream man. He comes from a good family; I heard his ancestors were all officials.” Moreover, Han Caiying changed the subject, “Battalion Commander Huo seems to love Song Ning very much. I doubt he’ll let her go, especially since it’s a military marriage. As long as he doesn’t agree, they can’t get a divorce.”
