February 1976
He Beichen asked a matchmaker to help him find a partner.
It should have been a lively happy event, and many people came to give gifts, but this happy event almost turned into a funeral.
The bride who was married for 1,888 yuan actually wanted to hang herself with a rope on the wedding night?
There was a hint of ferocity on the pretty face of the little girl, as if she would never look back until she died, and she was holding the cloth in her hand tightly.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Looking at his appearance, He Beichen also had a headache. After a long silence, he finally asked this question lightly.
Hearing that there was some room for negotiation, the vigilance in the bride's eyes gradually weakened. She took two steps to the side, but her fingers were still pulling the long piece of cloth.
"Stay away from me and don't touch me." Li Xin said directly, with a hint of disgust on his face.
It gives people a sense of loneliness.
She was like a trapped beast, already in a cage, but still struggling desperately.
"Okay... I won't touch you. Put your things down and have a good sleep. You look very tired." He Beichen sighed and put the food in front of her. After a whole day of hard work, the bride might not have a chance to eat.
Li Xin casually threw the thing to the ground without even looking at it, and his vigilance towards He Beichen did not decrease in the slightest: "When I said stay away from me, I meant that we should not sleep in the same bed!"
He Beichen pursed his lips: "..."
She said it seriously, as if she was deliberately emphasizing something.
So, He Beichen could only pack up his things and sleep outside. It was not until the door was locked that the people inside seemed to gradually relax.
Since they were married, they were considered a family, so of course they had to go and pay respects to their parents. He Beichen woke up before dawn and packed his things.
Thinking of Li Xin's cold and resistant face, He Beichen took a deep breath and thought for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door gently.
The people in the room seemed to be sleeping restlessly. The slightest noise woke her up. Li Xin's body was tense, like a frightened bird. "Who is it?"
"I'm going to worship my parents today. Since we are already married, we are also a family..." He Beichen didn't expect that he could have such a good temper. He persuaded her in a gentle voice.
"I don't want to know about your affairs, and I don't want to do anything with you. Just take care of yourself."
Then, there was a long silence.
Although He Beichen had some expectations of this result, he was still a little disappointed when he actually experienced it.
He went to worship his parents by himself and felt that this marriage was quite boring. It would be better for him to be single and happy before he got married.
"I'm going back to the army soon. If you don't come with me... it doesn't matter, but we have registered our marriage. I hope you won't do anything stupid again." He Beichen advised Li Xin again, hoping that this girl would not do anything stupid.
Since they have received the betrothal gift, obtained the marriage certificate, and held a wedding, they are a family, and some things cannot be changed.
"I won't go with you, I'll stay at home!" The people in the room rejected him without thinking.
As a newlywed wife, she did not show any gentle emotions. Instead, she was always cold and even did not go out, hiding in her room.
The amount of food in the kitchen had decreased. Perhaps she had secretly eaten it while He Beichen was out.
Knowing that his presence would bring trouble to others, he continued to pester them. This has never been He Beichen's style.
"Okay, then... I'm leaving." He thought about it and didn't try to persuade her anymore.
But there was a voice in his heart telling him that things... shouldn't be like this.
…
He boarded the train alone and returned to the southern border. On the train, he couldn't help but think of Li Xin's eyebrows and eyes, which were a little firm, and she looked better than an ordinary girl.
"Captain He, the new guns sent from the capital were stolen. We don't know which bastard did it. We are looking for it!" Fang Yunfeng came over in a hurry, and now he couldn't help but curse.
Next, He Beichen’s mission is to take this gun with him. This new gun was only recently developed, but it is extremely useful in certain places.
"What about the mission? How about using ordinary guns?" He Beichen couldn't help but frown slightly.
Sometimes, opportunities don't wait for anyone. If they don't have this gun, they need to act quickly to ensure that the mission is completed.
When Fang Yunfeng heard He Beichen's words, he pursed his lips and said, "We have already reported this to our superiors. They mean that if we can't find that gun, we can only use the old one."
"That's fine. It's more important for us to rescue the hostages."
For soldiers, obeying orders is their duty.
"This kind of thing involves a lot of tasks, so please bear with us. We have already sent people to conduct a comprehensive search, and we will find it soon."
Fang Yunfeng looked at He Beichen's face full of disapproval, and knew what he was thinking. He just patted him on the shoulder and whispered a word of comfort.
There is still some time left before the mission. When He Beichen is resting, the outline of Li Xin's eyebrows and eyes always appears in front of his eyes.
That fierce girl seemed to hate him...
But he didn't do anything.
and……
Why did he always feel that the girl named Li Xin didn't seem like his 'Li Xin'?
…
It took two weeks to find the gun.
"The gun was lost on the train, and it took a lot of effort to track it down." Fang Yunfeng gave a brief summary of the matter and felt relieved.
"That's good. As long as we have weapons, we can set off." He Beichen didn't care about these reasons. He restrained his thoughts.
However, although he had always been carefree when facing tasks, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
If he had an accident while on a mission, what would Li Xin do alone?
Since she hates him so much, she should... be very happy, right?
