Chapter 229 Life is bitter, but it is sweet with you.

"This mission was a bit more difficult. I was put in a water dungeon, flogged, and nearly died there.

When I was on the verge of despair, you were all on my mind. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you for the last time. Later, I escaped with the help of an undercover agent.

Because of the serious injuries, the army gave me seven days of leave. I stayed in bed for four days and only took a plane here after I felt better.

In fact, it's almost healed, you don't have to worry too much, I didn't let you know because I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable seeing it." As he spoke, Huo Jianguo picked up the small vest and wanted to put it on his back again.

Su Mei snatched the vest away, walked behind Huo Jianguo, touched the ugly scars and said:

"It's not that good at all. You're so stupid. You didn't say a word. How can you bear it without applying medicine?

Why did I just hit your back?"

If there were injuries elsewhere, Su Mei might be able to see them.

She turned around to look for medicine in the box and heard Huo Jianguo say, "Because I was tied to a bench with my face in the water, I had to keep my head up to avoid drowning.

With this type of binding, when you are whipped, you are only hit on the back..."

"Not just the back, but the buttocks as well, right?" Su Mei hadn't noticed it before, but now she remembered that when Huo Jianguo was attending class with her during the day, he would lift his buttocks from time to time.

Since Su Mei had already discovered it, Huo Jianguo simply stopped hiding it: "A little bit."

"I didn't find anything last night." Su Mei said as she finally found the golden medicine that Su Xuanhu gave her. She held the medicine and looked at Huo Jianguo, "Lie down on the bed!"

"Oh, okay." Huo Jianguo obediently lay down on the bed after hearing that.

Seeing this, Su Mei walked over with the medicine in her hand, and carefully applied a little bit of the medicine on Huo Jianguo's back.

The raised whip marks were still oozing with pus, and looked very painful, but when Su Mei applied medicine to Huo Jianguo, he endured it and refused to utter a single groan.

After painting the back, Su Mei pulled open Huo Jianguo's pants.

The butt was probably just accidentally brushed by the whip tail a few times, so there are some red marks, but it doesn't look terrible.

After applying the medicine, Su Mei washed her hands, then turned off the lights and went to bed.

Huo Jianguo wanted to hug Su Mei, but Su Mei dodged him. She couldn't bear to touch him at all: "Your wounds will hurt if you touch them. Don't hug me, just sleep.

It turns out that the money you gave me to buy the yard was earned with your life. When I looked at that roll of money, I thought to myself that your bonus was very high."

"Don't worry. In fact, in my current position, I rarely encounter such danger. The real dangers are those soldiers on the border. I am mostly stationed in the rear.

This time, someone specifically asked for my head, which is an unexpected situation, so you don't have to worry too much." Huo Jianguo finished speaking and patted Su Mei's shoulder gently with a soothing gesture.

Su Mei asked him, "If I don't let you serve in the army, will you be willing to retire and come back?"

"No." Huo Jianguo answered the question without hesitation: "Everyone comes to this world with a mission, and your mission is to save the dying and heal the wounded.

My mission is to protect this land, and someone has to make sacrifices.

The peace and tranquility of the border today was also paid for with the blood of countless warriors. I have witnessed their dedication, and I cannot be a deserter who abandons the position after they leave.

Su Mei, I will try my best to satisfy you in everything I can, but this matter....”

"That's enough!" Su Mei interrupted Huo Jianguo, "I understand!"

In fact, she had already guessed this would be the answer.

"I just couldn't bear to see you working so hard." Although Huo Jianguo said it was an accident, she still clearly remembered that not long after she came through, Huo Jianguo returned to the courtyard, soaking wet.

Fortunately, she was there that night and heated the kang for him, so that he could recover in time, otherwise he would definitely have fallen seriously ill.

She really wanted to hug Huo Jianguo, but was afraid of touching his wounds, so she could only reach out and touch his angular face.

Huo Jianguo grabbed her pointed fingers and said softly, "It was really hard when I was alone before, but now whenever I think of you, I feel sweet and not bitter anymore.

Fortunately, you have gotten better, otherwise it would be tiring for me to support myself. "

Life is bitter, but it is sweet with you.

"I'm not good to you, it's always you who is good to me. During these days apart, I realized that you were doing a lot of things for me. I'm like a big baby next to you." After they broke up, Su Mei realized that when they were together, it was Huo Jianguo who arranged everything for her, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But she, on the other hand, did nothing and didn't even buy him a decent gift.

She even didn't understand the difficulties he faced at home, and got angry with him just for her own personal gain.

But Huo Jianguo didn't think so. He told Su Mei seriously:

"You don't need to do anything. As long as you are still here, as long as you are willing to like me, my heart will be warm when I think of you."

"Huo Jianguo, why didn't I realize you were so talkative before?" It's really hard not to love him. Su Mei felt even more guilty. She really didn't do anything. "I will treat you well in the future, twice as well as I can."

"Okay." Huo Jianguo felt that this trip was not in vain. At least now, he could feel that Su Mei's heart was with him.

He couldn't explain how he fell in love with Su Mei, probably every moment she started to transform.

At first he was just curious about his transformation. He observed her every day, and then her figure unknowingly penetrated into his heart.

"Go to sleep!" He still reached out and hugged Su Mei.

There's only this one night left, how can I resist not hugging you.

As the night deepened, the sound of steady breathing could be heard in the house.

Both of them slept very soundly.

Because she went to bed early, Su Mei woke up early the next morning. She got up and went to the toilet. The sky in the distance was just turning pale.

The sky was clear and there was a pleasant breeze in the air.

Mild and comfortable weather.

Su Mei didn't think about what the morning classes were. She directly chose to ask for leave and took Huo Jianguo out early.

She took Huo Jianguo out for breakfast, gave him underwear, took him to get a haircut, took him to take couple photos together, and bought him a wallet and stuffed the photos into the wallet.

When she dropped him off at the airport, she handed him her wallet and said:

"Take it out and read it when you miss me!"
