Gu Moli couldn't return to Beijing with Su Xingran; he had to go back to his unit. Su Xingran said she could go back alone and would let Gu Moli know she was safe once she arrived in Beijing.
Before boarding the train, Su Xingran called her mentor, Huang Zhenhua, to let him know she was safe. Huang Zhenhua was relieved to learn that Su Xingran and Gu Moli were both safe.
Sitting beside the telephone, Huang Zhenhua took a ring out of his pocket and clutched it tightly in his hand. The night before the war began, Huang Zhenhua dreamt of Su Xingran and Gu Moli. In the dream, Su Xingran was pushed off a cliff and died, bleeding profusely. In the dream, Gu Moli was shot in the heart from behind by enemy soldiers on the battlefield and died.
Awakened by the shock, Huang Zhenhua trembled, his body covered in a cold sweat. It was a dream, but a dream that had actually happened. Huang Zhenhua knew that Xingran being pushed off the cliff was real. Xingran had experienced it once before and returned, so she had escaped it this time.
Huang Zhenhua also knew that the Mo Li in the dream represented the ending of her previous life, and the time hadn't come yet; tomorrow was the actual end date for Mo Li in her previous life. No wonder Xing Ran insisted on going to the battlefield; she must have dreamt about it just like him.
Huang Zhenhua suddenly asked the air, "Qingxiao, is that you? Is it you who made me dream about all of this? Have you been here all along?"
Huang Zhenhua continued, "Qingxiao, why didn't you come to find me if you were here? Did you arrange for Xingran to come back? Did you bring her to my side? Her way of doing things is so similar to yours, and her way of dealing with people is also similar to yours. You know we both longed for a girl, so you sent a girl back so that I could live a good life, right?"
The room was quiet, without any response. But Huang Zhenhua smiled, covering his eyes with his hands and falling onto the bed, tears streaming through his fingers. Even though the doors and windows had just been closed, a breeze brushed against Huang Zhenhua's face.
The day after Su Xingran returned, she went back to work at the hospital. The hospital did not announce the reason for Su Xingran's absence; only the hospital director and Shen Qiu knew her whereabouts.
Su Xingran thought her title of military doctor was limited to the war that had just ended. Unexpectedly, when Commander Gao sent Huang Taihe home, he gave Su Xingran a document.
It was an appointment document; Su Xingran would henceforth be a formal military doctor, serving in the same unit as Huang Taihe. Su Xingran would continue working at her original unit, the military region hospital, ready to be dispatched anytime, anywhere when needed by the national armed forces.
Su Xingran knew it was Commander Gao who had sent the documents back, and she guessed who was behind all of this. Besides feeling grateful, all Su Xingran could do was to do her job well.
Gu Moli has also returned to the unit, and he is currently submitting documents in the commander's office. The commander looked at Gu Moli and said, "You rascal, no wonder you wouldn't even look at the girls the people in the unit introduced you to. Turns out you have such a great girl. Her profile is truly astounding."
"When I was around ten years old, I had already captured enemy agents and made meritorious contributions. In the first year after the college entrance examination was reinstated, I was admitted to university and was the top scorer in the liberal arts. My grades were so outstanding that the school arranged for me to do an internship at a hospital early on. I also participated in the self-defense counterattack in 1979 and was awarded a second-class merit for individuals and a third-class merit for the group. I also had two outstanding military doctors and their wives from the War of Resistance Against Japan."
The commander sighed and said, "You've got a good eye, kid. Division Commander Zhou said you didn't like his daughter because you have no taste. I think you have excellent taste, that's why you didn't like his daughter."
Upon hearing the commander's words, Gu Moli could barely suppress the upward curve of his lips. Yes, he had excellent taste; he had chosen a perfect match.
