The two girls talked together, and the tension in their hearts was relieved a lot. At least they stopped having wild thoughts. They didn't know what time it was, but they both fell asleep on the table.
Before daybreak, Cheng Haoyu's troops finally returned safely. Everyone was covered in dust and dirt, some were injured, and some were dead.
"Captain Cheng, you are finally back." The soldier guarding the door said with tears in his eyes.
"How is the battle going?" The army leaders had not slept all night and had been worried about them. When they heard the news of their return, they ran out in their coats and couldn't wait to ask about the battle situation.
Although Cheng Haoyu was covered in dust and dirt, he still stood straight, exuding the aura of a soldier. His eyes were a little blurry, and he swallowed his saliva and reported seriously: "Reporting to the leader, we have nine soldiers killed and fifteen casualties."
"Everyone, hurry up and carry these wounded up." Medical staff came to the rescue with stretchers.
The army leader looked at their triumphant figures returning one by one, his eyes inexplicably red. He reached out and patted Cheng Haoyu on the shoulder: "You are all great. Give me the list of the life-saving soldiers who died in battle. I will ask the higher-ups to give their families some compensation. They all fought for the country and are all heroes."
"Yes." Cheng Haoyu responded in a voice as loud as a bell.
"Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest quickly." The army leader gave an order.
After the army leaders left, the soldier guarding the gate came over quietly and said, "Captain Cheng, Squad Leader Wang, you haven't come back for so long, your sisters-in-law are so worried. It's already midnight, and you're still waiting here for you. Hurry back and tell them you're safe!"
"Okay, thank you." Cheng Haoyu patted his shoulder with an expression that said, "You've worked hard, too." Then he turned to face everyone and said, "This battle was very intense. Everyone performed very well. In this life-or-death situation, not a single soldier deserted. You're all great. Now go back and rest. There's no training tomorrow morning."
Although they fought for a day and a night, the soldiers remained composed and left in an orderly manner.
Cheng Haoyu winked at Wang Ye, and the two of them ran home impatiently.
Having just experienced a life-and-death battle, they were still extremely excited. On the battlefield, the people they cared about most were none other than their wives and children. The battle was very intense at the time. Cheng Haoyu repeatedly warned himself that no matter what the outcome, he must stand alive in front of Zheng Xinyi, because this was his promise.
When they arrived at the door of Cheng Haoyu's house, Cheng Haoyu reached out and grabbed Wang Ye, who was rushing home, and winked at him. Wang Ye followed his gaze and saw the two people sleeping soundly on the table through the transparent glass.
The two men stood still like statues, looking at their sleeping figures, their eyes gradually turned red, they swallowed, reached out and slowly took off their hats.
Although Cheng Haoyu had tried his best to minimize the sound of the door opening, the moment the door was pushed open, Zheng Xinyi suddenly sat up from the table, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "You are back."
Cheng Haoyu and Wang Ye stood still, smiling: "We are back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Xinyi ran into Cheng Haoyu's arms in tears.
