But he couldn't seem to explain...
The man apologized, and Luo Xiaoxiao didn't mention the awkwardness of that moment.
She thought she was not a pretentious person, but the atmosphere between the two of them inevitably became awkward.
This cramped atmosphere continued into the evening.
After dinner, it was already completely dark, and Mu Jingchen left reluctantly.
The next morning, when Luo Xiaoxiao woke up, she felt much better than yesterday.
There is no longer that chaotic feeling in my head, and my thoughts are much sharper.
I also feel more embarrassed about the misunderstanding that happened yesterday.
At this time, Mu Jingchen came.
Although a night had passed, Luo Xiaoxiao still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Mu Jingchen.
"What's the matter that brings you here so early?" she asked subconsciously.
If nothing else, she plans to go back to school today.
"There will be a funeral soon. Do you want to go with us to see them off?" Mu Jingchen lowered his eyes, his voice revealing a subtle sadness.
It was at this time that Luo Xiaoxiao discovered that Mu Jingchen was wearing a very formal military uniform today, and his whole body was meticulously groomed.
"Is this the funeral of the soldier who died in contaminated area No. 11 the day before yesterday?" Luo Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yeah." Mu Jingchen responded.
"Wait for a moment, I'll clean up and be there soon!" Luo Xiaoxiao rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
In the 21st century, you have to wear black to attend funerals.
But here, she only had one set of military training uniform to change into.
She put on her military training uniform and tried to look as neat as possible.
After leaving the medical room, the two walked towards the back mountain of the garrison camp.
There was no conversation along the way. When they arrived, the soldiers of the garrison camp had already lined up.
Mu Jingchen took Luo Xiaoxiao to the front of the team.
The funeral began with heroic and tragic music.
There were sentries carrying small boxes one after another and placing them on the location of the tombstone.
There are photos on the tombstones. A few days ago, these people were all living beings...
It's just a small war...
These men gave their young lives...
Luo Xiaoxiao still vaguely remembered some of the photos on the tombstones...
Those were the figures who had once greeted her in a strange way...
At some point, Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red...
Amidst the solemn salute, tears fell...
The funeral was over and the sentries who had come to attend the ceremony dispersed one after another.
Gradually, only Mu Jingchen and Luo Xiaoxiao were left in the cemetery.
Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly squatted down, buried her head between her knees and sobbed silently.
This was the first time she witnessed the cruelty of war and the fragility of life...
Mu Jingchen stood quietly, his eyes slightly red.
He didn't cry, but anyone could see how sad he was at the moment...
After a long time, Luo Xiaoxiao's squatting figure finally stopped shaking her shoulders.
Mu Jingchen also calmed down, walked up to the girl and squatted down.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's head, saying, "Don't be sad. Dying for the empire is the highest honor for every soldier."
Luo Xiaoxiao raised her head from her knees. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on her face.
She is a guide and has a keen sense of emotions.
Mu Jingchen told her not to be sad, but in her perception, Mu Jingchen was no less sad than she was.
With Mu Jingchen's support, Luo Xiaoxiao stood up.
She wiped the tears from her face, forced a faint smile, and said, "Well, I won't cry anymore, and you won't be sad either, okay."
Mu Jingchen lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing, but the sadness and loneliness surrounding him did not ease in the slightest.
Yes, these deceased sentinels were all his subordinates. How could he not be sad...
Mu Jingchen turned his head and looked at the cemetery in front of him, a faint smile even curled up at the corner of his mouth. He said: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I have been in the army for 10 years. I have seen many separations like this and I am used to it."
But, can I really get used to it?
In Luo Xiaoxiao's perception, the man in front of her said that he was used to it, but deep in his heart, he was filled with a deep and unbearable sadness...
Luo Xiaoxiao didn't know how to comfort him, or maybe, comfort wasn't what he needed...
Looking at the man's tall figure, she took a step forward and gently hugged him.
Mu Jingchen's body stiffened for a moment.
Luo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just hugged the man quietly.
She thought, at this moment, perhaps a hug would be more direct and more useful to comfort a man than thousands of words...
Later, Mu Jingchen put his arm around Luo Xiaoxiao's waist.
Under the light of the stars, two souls comforting each other embraced quietly in the cemetery for a long time... a long time...
…
After the funeral, Luo Xiaoxiao rested in the garrison camp for another three days. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Mu Jingchen sent Luo Xiaoxiao back to the First Military Academy.
Over the past four days, many students from the Interstellar Archaeology Department have sent her messages, asking about her situation.
Including Pei Han, the freshman tutor of the Interstellar Archaeology Department, and Bai Yushu, the freshman tutor of the Navigation Department, both asked her whether her injury was serious and when she would be back.
Now, back at school, Luo Xiaoxiao also reported her safety to all those who had sent her messages.
Not long after the message was sent, her intelligent brain began to vibrate continuously.
When I clicked on them, I saw that they were all messages from people in the Interstellar Archaeology Department.
And the information content is similar.
It turned out that the Department of Interstellar Archaeology held a welcome party for new students this afternoon.
