Zuo Ziming sat on the bed, his arms around Qin Wanxue's waist, his head lowered and resting on Qin Wanxue's abdomen. The soft and warm fragrance of her body penetrated his nose.
They had never said sweet words to each other before, but they had each other in their eyes. He even felt that Qin Wanxue knew what he was going to say. Originally, he thought that after the mission was completed, he would discuss with her about filing a marriage report.
He had dreamed many times of holding her in his arms, and even dreamed of more outrageous things. After waking up and washing the sheets, he still felt guilty and sorry for his beloved girl.
Those sweetness and bitterness entangled him for more than a thousand days and nights, and seemed to occupy half of his life.
"Xiaoxue, no matter what happens to my leg this time, or whether it can heal, please give me a chance, okay?" Zuo Ziming pleaded.
He looked up at Qin Wanxue. Tears welled up in her beautiful, bright eyes. He still remembered that every time they met, her eyes were as bright as stars.
Later, when they met again, their eyes were filled with pain.
Qin Wanxue looked at him quietly for a long time, then pushed him away. "Why do you think I will forgive you? Zuo Ziming, did you tell me after you were rescued? Do you want to avoid me forever?
I think you're overthinking it. We didn't agree on anything before, and neither of us made any promises. Are you so afraid that I'll become dependent on you?"
She had to speak out those thoughts that had made her sad and painful. He would not let her have an easy time. She wanted him to taste the bitterness that he had tasted.
"Later, I told you I wanted to marry you. How did you reject me? You compared me to my comrades, and in your eyes, I was just an ordinary comrade. If that's the case, how could I give you a chance?
Don't forget, you rejected me once!"
Every time she said something, the pain in Zuo Ziming's eyes grew. Qin Wanxue didn't dare to look at him, for she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted.
But she didn't look at Zuo Ziming. Zuo Ziming's hands were still clasped on her waist, tightening and loosening them little by little, for fear of hurting her.
"You're not. You're different to me!" Zuo Ziming's heart felt like someone was hammering at it, the pain making him almost breathless. "Xiaoxue, it's my fault..."
Qin Wanxue didn't give Zuo Ziming a chance to speak. She was afraid that if he opened his mouth, she would soften her heart. "Zuo Ziming, the person I want to marry is someone who can accompany me until the end of my life, but you are not one of them."
Zuo Ziming was badly injured, but he said with his last bit of stubbornness, "Xiaoxue, I can do it!"
"I used to think you could do it!" Qin Wanxue's eyes were filled with pain. "We were both soldiers before, and you pushed me away just because you had a lame leg. You thought I couldn't accept you with your disability.
This shows that you are also such a person, unable to accept that your significant other will be disabled; now you have retired, and I am a soldier, I don’t know when I will die on the battlefield, lose my limbs, or…”
Zuo Ziming covered Qin Wanxue's mouth without caring about anything. "Xiaoxue, stop talking. I'm not that kind of person."
I just want to give you the best, no matter what you look like, you are the best to me!
Qin Wanxue knew that she had wronged him, but she just wanted to say it. She pulled Zuo Ziming's hand away and glared at him fiercely.
The wet feeling still lingered in my palms.
Zuo Ziming couldn't help but shrink his fingers, looking at Qin Wanxue innocently. His actions just now were indeed reckless. His ears were red, and the pain in his heart was still there. "Xiaoxue, I'm not that kind of person!"
"So, I'm that kind of person, am I?"
The doctor came to check on the ward and recognized Qin Wanxue. He greeted her, "Xiaoxue, are you here to bring me food? Is your mother okay taking care of her grandson at home now?"
"Uncle Liang, my mother is fine. I'll go back first if you're busy."
Qin Wanxue packed up her things, walked to the door, and glanced at Zuo Ziming. "I have to return to the team soon, so I'm afraid I can't bring you food. I'll ask my aunt to bring it to you."
Hearing her say she was returning to the team, Zuo Ziming's heart trembled, and worry appeared in his eyes. "Don't worry about me, my leg has recovered well."
These days, Zuo Ziming's food and drinks were all sent by Qin Wanxue from home, with the spiritual spring water brought by Ji Xia added to it. He felt that he was recovering quickly every day.
Qin Wanxue ignored him and walked away.
Doctor Liang examined Zuo Ziming and was also shocked by his recovery speed. Thinking of the fact that Zuo Ziming was a soldier before and his physical fitness was different from that of ordinary people, and that he was well taken care of by the Qin family's food, and that everyone's physique was different, he did not become suspicious.
At noon, Aunt Liu came to bring Zuo Ziming lunch. She cooked bone soup, braised pork ribs, pork belly stewed with sauerkraut, and three large white flour buns. This meal could be said to be top-notch in that era, but Zuo Ziming did not have a very good appetite.
He was worried about Qin Wanxue and wanted to ask, but even if he asked Aunt Liu, she wouldn't know, so in the end he didn't ask anything.
She arranged for Aunt Liu to bring him food. Could it be that she really wanted to return his leg?
In the past, he couldn't help but think like this, and it broke his heart every time.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think, if this was really her purpose, what should he do?
Thoughts emerged in his mind uncontrollably, one after another.
Aunt Liu didn't know all this. She attentively handed Zuo Ziming some fruit, took the lunch box and thermos bucket she had brought with her, said that dinner would be served, and then left.
After Qin Wanxue returned to the team, she received a new task and left Beijing on the same day.
Qin Wangdong and Qin Changshuo also went to the southwest, where a military exercise was held. This time, Qin Wangdong was the commander of the Blue Army. He commanded the Blue Army, equipped with new weapons to fight against the H Army.
Qin Changshuo was assigned to the H Army, and father and son faced the enemy on the battlefield.
The four people in the family all went out on missions. Shen Congying was worried, but she didn't know who to worry about. She simply stopped thinking about anyone and focused on taking care of the children.
Ji Xia drew a stack of blueprints and planned to spend some time with the two little ones to relax her mind. Even if she had the strongest brain, she would get tired after using her brain intensively for a long time.
When pouring water to drink, he directly stole the spiritual spring water in the space without any dilution. After drinking it, he felt a lot more relaxed.
When the two little ones saw their mother coming, they quickly reached out their hands and struggled to move their chubby bodies over.
Ji Xia held one in each of her arms. At this moment, Shen Congying was the only one at home, so she simply sat on the sofa and fed the two little ones.
Seeing her grandson enjoying his meal, Shen Congying was also happy. "Xia Xia, Mom doesn't want you to be a traitor. Mom is just a little worried. Can you tell me anything you can?"
Ji Xia was confused by what she heard. "Mom, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you if I can."
"Is there any hope for Wanxue and Zuo Ziming to succeed? If they can, Mom doesn't want to worry about it. If they can't, she's not young anymore and needs to have a place to go in the future. It's really frustrating to be stuck like this all the time, isn't it?"
