Song Fanxing was very honest, "Yes, it almost blinded me."
Zhou Zan was instantly satisfied.
"It's almost lunchtime, I'll take you to eat."
"Okay, I know which restaurant is good, I'll take you there."
Zhou Zan smiled and said, "Okay."
Song Fanxing noticed that Zhou Zan was still holding her hand, and people were coming and going, some of whom were looking at them.
She quickly pulled her hand away.
The delicate feel in his hand suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Zan felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.
The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the restaurant that Song Fanxing had mentioned.
It's an inconspicuous little restaurant located in an alley.
Song Fanxing once saw it while wandering around aimlessly; it was run by a young couple.
She went in to try it out of curiosity, and it was quite delicious.
She went there a few more times after that.
As soon as Song Fanxing entered the door, the young couple greeted her warmly.
"They're here!"
When they saw that Song Fanxing had brought a soldier with her, they became even more enthusiastic.
Soldiers always inspire awe.
Song Fanxing said cheerfully, "Okay, boss, the usual, add two more dishes, you can decide how to make them."
The small restaurant doesn't have a menu, just a few dishes, but every dish is delicious.
The two sat down and waited.
Song Fanxing looked at Zhou Zan's military uniform. She remembered telling him not to join the army.
"Zhou Zan, when did you join the army?"
"I've been in the army for three years now."
Where?
"Xicheng, I've met your second brother."
Song Fanxing cursed Song Yaohua inwardly, knowing that Zhou Zan was in their unit, yet he didn't tell her at all.
Song Yaohua was actually doing it on purpose. She felt that Zhou Zan had ill intentions towards her sister, so she didn't want to mention Zhou Zan in front of her sister.
Song Fanxing didn't dwell on Zhou Zan's choice to join the army; everyone has their own choices.
Zhou Zan's father died a heroic death, and his mother also passed away due to the shock.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Zan still had the courage to choose this path.
Song Fanxing admired him.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know Fu Yichen?"
Zhou Zan asked, somewhat puzzled, "How do you know Fu Yichen?"
"He is the son of Political Commissar Fu next door."
Zhou Zan then replied, "He is our company commander."
Song Fanxing's expression turned serious.
Is this kid doomed?
She tried hard to recall the details about Zhou Zan from the historical records.
In the historical fiction, Zhou Zan went on a mission with Fu Yichen. What kind of mission was it again?
It had been so long that Song Fanxing couldn't remember some of it.
Zhou Zan gently patted Song Fanxing's face.
"What's wrong?"
Song Fanxing was focused on recalling the events and didn't notice how intimate Zhou Zan's actions had just been.
Zhou Zan couldn't bring Song Fanxing back to her senses; she was still in a daze.
The owner brought out the dishes, but Song Fanxing ate absentmindedly.
"Xiao Zan Zan, don't go on missions with Fu Yichen anymore, let someone else go."
Zhou Zan was taken aback, and after a long while, he replied, "Xingxing, he is my company commander. I have to obey orders. If he says he will take me, I have to go. Besides, I want to go on more missions and make more contributions."
Song Fanxing fell silent. Zhou Zan was right; he was a soldier, and soldiers had to obey orders.
Song Fanxing didn't eat much during the meal, and the owners thought the food they had cooked that day was bad, so they reflected on it for a long time.
Zhou Zan didn't know what was wrong with Song Fanxing. Ever since she mentioned their platoon leader, she had been acting strangely.
After dinner, the two strolled around the streets.
Song Fanxing fell silent for a long time; she was thinking.
Zhou Zan finally couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed her shoulders, and stared at her.
"Star, what's wrong? Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Song Fanxing blurted out, "I'm thinking of a way to save you."
"Help me?"
Zhou Zan looked puzzled.
Song Fanxing knew he didn't believe her, but she couldn't explain, since nothing had happened yet.
She could only say, "You'll always be on missions while you're in the army, and there will be dangers on missions. I'm afraid something will happen to you."
"oh……"
Zhou Zan smiled broadly.
The boy's smile is captivating.
Song Fanxing sighed.
"Star, are you worried about me?"
"nonsense!"
Song Fanxing rolled her eyes.
Zhou Zan was excited, his eyes sparkling with joy.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to myself."
He hasn't married the girl he loves yet, how could he let himself get into trouble?
Song Fanxing sighed.
Some things can't be prevented from happening just because you want them to.
Zhou Zan took Song Fanxing back to school.
Zhou Zan stopped at the school gate.
He said reluctantly, "Star, I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time."
He originally intended to walk Song Fanxing to her dormitory building, but those girls were too scary, and he was afraid that once he got downstairs, he wouldn't have a chance to talk to Song Fanxing.
Song Fanxing: "Leaving so soon?"
"Well, I only have three days off."
It would take more than two days to travel there and back, so he had to rush back.
Song Fanxing could only say, "Okay, be careful on your journey, and take care of yourself when you're on missions."
"Um."
Zhou Zan was reluctant to leave.
"You go in first."
"You go first."
"No, I want to watch you go in."
Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Song Fanxing thought to herself that this child was still as clingy as when he was a child.
She patted Zhou Zan's arm.
"Then I'll go in."
Zhou Zan kept watching Song Fanxing's back until she was out of sight, then he turned and strode away.
When Song Fanxing returned to her dormitory, her roommates immediately started asking her questions.
