Chapter 563 I Want to Be Your Sister-in-law
After Lu Jingzhen led the troops to the battle, Xia Qingxi was a little absent-minded for several days, wondering if he would come back after this departure.
Sometimes when she saw Tuan Tuan, who looked like him, she would be distracted unconsciously.
Lu Jingzhen's departure not only took away her whole heart, but also brought with it endless longing and worry.
That afternoon, when she finished her class and walked downstairs, she unexpectedly saw Xia Guyu standing downstairs.
Seeing her, Xia Guyu immediately walked up, took her arm, and said that he wanted to go to the valley behind the mountain and asked if she was free to accompany him.
Xia Qingxi saw that it was still early, so she nodded and agreed.
So the two walked to the back mountain together. On the way, Xia Guyu kept finding topics to talk about with Xia Qingxi.
She always has many new ideas and interesting stories. When she talks to people, her round eyes always smile like crescents.
Influenced by her, Xia Qingling's somewhat gloomy mood also improved.
Now it is March, the grass and trees in the valley have begun to revive, and there is already some green, and the yellow winter jasmine flowers can't wait to bloom.
The two sat by the valley, and Xia Guyu suddenly asked:
"Qingling, do you still remember the autumn of the year before last, when you, Luoya and I came here to pick flowers, we shouted to the valley..."
While speaking, Xia Guyu had already stood up, walked to the edge of the canyon, turned around, and said gently:
"How about it, do you want to try again now?"
Xia Qingling hesitated and shook her head gently.
Seeing that Xia Qingying was in a low mood, Xia Guyu returned to her side with a smile, sat down, and bumped her shoulder with his shoulder, teasing:
"Hehe, why do I feel that Lu Jingzhen is gone, and your soul has followed him."
Xia Qingying cooperated by forcing a smile, and replied softly:
"No way."
"You still say no, look at your face, it's as bitter as bitter gourd." After
Xia Guyu finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, put Xia Qingying's head on his shoulder, patted her back like coaxing a child, and comforted her:
"I know you miss your Lu Jingzhen. Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about missing someone."
In fact, Xia Guyu knew that Xia Qingying was particularly worried about Lu Jingzhen going on a mission this time, because she was afraid that he would be like Su Xiangnan and never come back.
I don't know why, but leaning on Xia Guyu's shoulder, Xia Qingqing couldn't hold back the emotions that she had suppressed for so many days, and tears silently fell.
She couldn't show her emotions at home, and even if she was sad, she had to be careful to hide it from her family.
She didn't want her mother to worry about her, nor did she want to evoke Luo Ya's sad memories, so she kept suppressing them.
"Guyu, the mission that Lu Jingxie is going to carry out this time is very dangerous. I am very worried about him." Xia Qingying slowly opened her mouth and expressed all the worries that had been weighing on her heart:
"Every time I see and touch the scars on his back, my heart beats with fear. I'm afraid that he will have an accident and that he will never be able to come back to me and Tuantuan."
Xia Qingying leaned on Xia Guyu's shoulder, tears falling like beads from a broken string. She couldn't stop them and continued to tell her own thoughts:
"I know that there will be danger for him to go this time. I have also thought about being selfish and not letting him go, but I know that I can't stop him. This is his responsibility and his mission. It is reasonable and proper to respect and support him. But I still can't help but feel sad."
"Qingxi, I understand the pain in your heart." Xia Guyu did not help her wipe her tears, but let her lean on her shoulder, and then praised earnestly:
"Lu Jingxi and Su Xiangnan are the role models and pride of Chinese soldiers. I don't know what our country will develop into in the future, but I firmly believe that
as long as there are tens of thousands of soldiers like Lu Jingxi and Su Xiangnan, those powers will not dare to invade our country again, and we, our descendants, will no longer suffer the suffering brought by war.
With their protection, the people of this land can live and work in peace and use their hard work and wisdom to make China more prosperous."
As she spoke, she held Xia Qingxi's hand with an extremely sincere look in her eyes:
"And those who silently support them behind the scenes, such as you and Luoya, are also worthy of our remembrance and admiration."
Listening to Xia Guyu's impassioned words, Xia Qingxi, whose face was filled with tears, suddenly smiled again and sighed:
"Guyu, you are worthy of being a reporter!"
"What? Do you think I'm shouting slogans?" Seeing that Xia Qingxi had misunderstood him, Xia Guyu pouted immediately:
"What I said is from the bottom of my heart. I have always thought that soldiers and their wives are particularly respectable."
Xia Qingxi, who had spoken her heart out to Xia Guyu, was now in a much better mood. Seeing Xia Guyu's cute pouting look, she deliberately teased her:
"Then do you want to join us, be a military wife, and be respected by others?"
Xia Guyu was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, looked at Xia Qingxi, and said seriously:
"Qingxi, I may not be able to join you." At this point, she seemed to have made up her mind, took a deep breath and said:
"Because I just want to be your sister-in-law."
Xia Qingxi was originally smiling, but because of Xia Guyu's sudden words, her expression froze. She didn't expect her to be so direct. After a moment of silence, she looked at her and asked:
"Guyu, have you thought about it?"
"I thought about it a long time ago!" Xia Guyu answered in an affirmative tone.
"Then... have you told my brother that you like him?" Xia Qingxi asked immediately.
"Not yet." Xia Guyu smiled, looked at Xia Qingxi and said with an understanding in his heart:
"But he, like you and Luoya, should have seen it a long time ago, but he just pretended not to know."
Xia Qingxi heard Xia Guyu's words so bluntly, and decided to talk to her frankly about this matter:
"Guyu, I took my brother to the best orthopedic hospital in North City. The doctor said that his leg can't be healed. It is very likely that he will not be able to walk like a normal person in his entire life..."
"I know Qingxi." Xia Guyu knew what Xia Qingxi was going to say and interrupted her. She smiled and said to Xia Qingxi:
"In the past, there were always people who laughed at Qingshu's legs behind his back. What they said was very unpleasant. I was very angry when I heard it and wanted to teach them a lesson, but Qingshu was very calm. He said to me:
'As long as you don't care, those 'attacks' are not sharp swords shot at you, but insignificant raindrops, which will evaporate when the wind blows and the sun shines. '
He said he had more important things to do, and his mind and mood would not be wasted on these insignificant bad words.
At that time, I didn't understand Qingshu's saintly behavior, but later I saw him reading books, writing articles, publishing novels... every day was fulfilling and busy, and I realized that it was not him who was a saint, but my own pattern was too big. Little!
I slowly approached him, got to know him, and then began to appreciate him, admire him, and finally, like him and love him.
At first, I was also worried that others would look at me differently, but now I am ready to face these rumors.
I will not let them become sharp swords, but like Brother Qingshu, I will treat them as raindrops falling on my body and let them evaporate. "
When Xia Guyu said these words, his expression was sometimes gentle and sometimes firm, but in the end, a confident smile appeared on his face.
