Looking at the contents of the letter, Su Xingran frowned. She couldn't understand the meaning of the letter; it seemed like a simple greeting, but it was disjointed and didn't seem to be trying to express anything.
After reading Deng Chenhui's letter, Su Xingran opened and read Gu Moli's letter as well. Gu Moli's letter first inquired about Su Xingran's recovery from the injuries she sustained on the battlefield, and whether she had adjusted her sleep schedule after returning home. He then told Su Xingran that his injuries were healing well and thanked her for her care. Finally, he advised Su Xingran to take good care of her body, which had been weakened by the busy work during the war and the lack of proper rest and nutrition.
Su Xingran also replied to the letter, and Deng Chenhui replied with just one sentence: "I am doing well, thank you for your concern, and I wish you all the best as well."
The reply to Gu Moli addressed similar issues to those in Gu Moli's letter. Su Xingran also told Gu Moli to take care of himself and pay attention to the recovery of his wounds.
Gu Moli's words contained no ambiguity; he expressed his concern for Su Xingran in simple language. From the moment he met Su Xingran on the battlefield, Gu Moli knew that he was not yet in a position to express his love.
A young, beautiful, principled girl who loves her job wouldn't be willing to rush into a relationship. Gu Moli himself didn't want to affect Su Xingran because of his own reasons. Back then, his father overcame countless difficulties to marry his mother, and his older brother didn't marry until he was almost thirty. Gu Moli felt he could wait just as long, no matter how many years it took.
Deng Chenhui was very uneasy as he sent the letter. He had obtained Su Xingran's address from a piece of paper with her address written on it that Su Xingran had left for her younger sister, Deng Wenwen, during the Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, the Deng couple spoke highly of Su Xingran at home. In Deng Jianjun's words, whoever marries a girl like her will be incredibly lucky. It's estimated that countless people would want to marry Su Xingran.
Hearing these words, Deng Chenhui realized that if he didn't take the initiative to contact her, he might never have a chance. On the day Su Xingran came to visit for the New Year, Deng Chenhui discovered that Su Xingran wasn't one to take the initiative. She would only answer questions from his parents and wouldn't bring up anything unrelated to the topic.
Meanwhile, Gu Moli wrote a letter to Su Xingran with worry in his heart. After returning to the army, Gu Moli contacted his family and learned from his mother, Liang Yun, that Su Xingran was in very bad condition the day she returned. She was extremely thin, could barely eat, and was completely exhausted.
Gu Moli was both anxious and worried. After returning to his dormitory, he quickly grabbed a pen, wrote a letter, and mailed it. That was all he could do for the time being.
Soon after, both Deng Chenhui and Gu Moli received replies, but their feelings were completely different. Gu Moli was happy, while Deng Chenhui was melancholy.
Deng Chenhui looked at the short sentence in the letter and felt very disappointed. He didn't know if it was because Su Xingran was too unfamiliar with him and they had nothing to say to each other, or if Su Xingran was just like that with people.
Gu Moli looked at Su Xingran's concern for him in the letter, and noticed that her reply this time was longer than usual. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that this letter from Su Xingran had warmth compared to her previous ones, rather than being formulaic.
Busy with her daily routine, Su Xingran had no idea that her reply would bring joy to some and disappointment to others.
