The army rested on the spot for two days. During this time, the wounded and the rest of the Communist army were all well-behaved and did not cause any trouble.
Zeng Guangzhao never expected that the person who would trouble him the most was Gu Lanjun.
She used to be very reserved, but after this reunion, she became more enthusiastic towards Zeng Guangzhao than ever before.
Zeng Guanzhao had previously been troubled by inner turmoil, unsure whether his feelings for Gu Lanjun still existed.
After they embraced that day, he discovered that he felt no feelings whatsoever for this woman he had once loved.
Neither joy nor sorrow was present; there was only surprise at their unexpected reunion under such circumstances.
He knew he could no longer give Gu Lanjun a response, so during the army's break-up and return journey, he made his stance clear to Gu Lanjun.
Women are sensitive, and Gu Lanjun could sense that Zeng Guangzhao's feelings for her had changed.
After a year away, her mindset has changed significantly compared to before.
The commander's daughter became a nurse, running through piles of corpses every day.
Sometimes she feels that this job is tiring and wants to go back to see her father.
However, the one who thought about it the most was Zeng Guangzhao.
This man had an even greater influence on her than her father, something Gu Lanjun hadn't expected.
The moment she saw him, she was reminded of the wonderful times they had shared.
Even if he said he was no longer interested in her, Gu Lanjun firmly believed that time had simply caused their feelings to fade.
Everything can start over.
Gu Lanjun pretended not to understand the meaning behind Zeng Guangzhao's words and only said, "My father said he moved from Beiping to Nanjing. I must visit him when I go back this time."
Zeng Guangzhao didn't speak; he thought to himself, "Your current status is still that of a prisoner of war."
If your father had enough courage to get involved with the Communist army, which Chiang Kai-shek hated most, to save you, then he would be quite capable.
On their way back, the army encountered a fierce battle.
The Nationalist army was in disarray and suffered repeated defeats.
Just then, they encountered Zeng Guangzhao's army.
The two teams joined forces, catching the opponent off guard.
The enemy division commander was very grateful to Zeng Guangzhao. He had run out of ammunition and food, and if he hadn't met Zeng Guangzhao, he would have died there.
Having narrowly escaped death, the other party was overjoyed and wanted to become sworn brothers with Zeng Guangzhao.
Zeng Guangzhao's camaraderie with his colleagues in the army only extended to various banquets where they drank and made merry. Outside of these banquets, no one could truly open up to anyone else.
Just as he was about to refuse, Yi Mu tugged at his military overcoat and struck up a conversation with the other person with a smile.
The Republic of China era was full of outstanding talents, and the man before us was one of the best. He was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy and the famous warlord XXX, who was a confidant among confidants of Chiang Kai-shek.
Zeng Guangzhao didn't understand why Yi Mu insisted that he get close to the other person. Yi Mu only said that there was no harm in making friends.
The army crossed the river back to Nanjing, and the prisoners of war were handed over to their superiors for processing.
Yi Mu went back to the army dormitory to take a shower. He had been traveling a long way and was covered in dust. It was hard for him to bear it.
Zeng Guangzhao felt he had to give Yi Mu an explanation; he was now certain that he had no feelings for Gu Lanjun anymore.
However, he needs more time to spend with Yi Mu and confirm that his feelings for him are the kind of heartfelt affection he has for him.
He stood guard outside the dormitory.
Just as Yi Mu came out of the dormitory's private bathroom, he heard a knock on the door, dried his hair with a towel, and opened it.
A soldier ran over from a distance and saluted Zeng Guanzhao: "Reporting to the division commander, Division Commander Gu of the 16th Division has urgent business with you."
Zeng Guangzhao glanced at the unresponsive dormitory door, then asked the soldier to lead the way, and followed him.
Yi Mu opened the door, found no one there, frowned, and closed the door again.
This difference of less than a minute delayed the first half of Yi Mu and Zeng Guangzhao's lives for many years.
