Chapter 0 Extra Chapter Qi Xiangxiang, will you be my partner?
After comforting Lai Xiang, Tang Jianye went to the snow cave and carried the man to the car.
When she entered the room again, Lai Xiang had already cleaned up. The bruises on his face were getting darker and darker. Liu Ting was rolling boiled eggs on Lai Xiang's face.
"Grandma, please close the door. I'm going out for a while." Liu Ting asked anxiously, "Tang boy, where are you going? It's so late. Let's leave tomorrow."
Tang Jianye also thought that he would not waste the leave he had finally obtained from his battalion commander today. However, the matter just now had to be dealt with immediately.
Tang Jianye didn't say anything, just nodded to the two of them and left.
Tang Jianye took the man directly to the Nongken police station. The station chief was a comrade of Tang Jianye's. After Tang Jianye explained the situation to him, the chief was furious.
Now everyone is working hard to develop the country, but there are still these parasites making trouble.
"Squad leader, don't worry, this kid is going to get shot."
Tang Jianye nodded. "Then I'll trouble you. Also, I don't want him to mention the girl's name."
The director understood Tang Jianye's meaning. Tang Jianye went to the hospital again that night and bought a lot of medicine for injuries. Then he drove back to the village.
Lai Xiang was already in bed, but she couldn't sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would imagine the scene of that man grabbing her neck and trying to rip off her clothes.
Lai Xiang curled up in the bed, biting her lip tightly and saying nothing. Liu Ting knew that Xiang was not feeling well, but no matter what she said now, it would be pale and powerless.
When she heard the knock on the door again, Liu Ting was about to get up to open it, but Lai Xiang poked her head out from under the quilt. "Grandma Liu, I'll go."
Liu Ting opened her mouth to say something, but swallowed it back. It was nice to have someone to talk to Xiangxiang.
Lai Xiang put on her clothes and went out to open the door. When Tang Jianye saw her come out, he immediately squeezed in, closed the door behind him, and asked anxiously, "Why did you get up? Does it hurt?"
As he spoke, he pulled her into the house. Lai Xiang pulled him into the west room and said, "Grandma is lying down. You can rest in this room."
When she was about to leave, Tang Jianye stopped her. Tang Jianye pulled Lai Xiang into his arms. Smelling the cold breath on his body, Lai Xiang felt particularly at ease.
Tang Jianye took out the ointment and applied it to Lai Xiang's face in the light of the snow outside. "Don't touch it with water. It will probably disappear after a few days."
Lai Xiang let Tang Jianye apply the medicine on her, and she felt very at ease. This feeling was very similar to when Xiao Yueyue was around, but also a little different.
After applying the medicine, the two sat on the edge of the kang, neither of them speaking. But the night grew even colder, and soon their legs were freezing cold. Lai Xiang rolled over and climbed onto the kang. Liu Ting had already spread out the blankets. Lai Xiang simply lifted the quilt and covered herself with it. After waiting for a long time, Tang Jianye didn't move, and Lai Xiang stared at his back.
"Aren't you cold?"
Tang Jianye......
He was cold, but he didn't dare.
Lai Xiang reached out and tugged at Tang Jianye's arm. Tang Jianye gritted his teeth, thinking this girl was testing his patience. No matter what, the woman he loved was right behind him. She had just been bullied and must need comfort.
He took off his shoes neatly and stared at Lai Xiang seriously before covering himself with the quilt. "Xiangxiang, will you be my partner?"
Lai Xiang's face flushed red. Although the room was dark, Lai Xiang still felt a little hot all over.
"Tang Jianye, you, don't regret it. Also, you knew clearly that just now..."
Tang Jianye got into bed and hugged her tightly. "Don't talk nonsense. You are very good. You are the way I like you."
Lai Xiang smiled silently. Tang Jianye struggled for a long time, but it was too late now. He was afraid that if he didn't say it now, she would be even more angry later.
"Xiangxiang, I want to tell you something."
Lai Xiang nestled in Tang Jianye's arms, her voice muffled. "Well, go ahead."
"I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow."
Lai Xiang suddenly sat up from the bed. In the light of the snow, she could only see the outline of Tang Jianye, who sat up with her.
Lai Xiang's movements were too big, causing pain in the wounds on her body. She accidentally cried out softly. Tang Jianye immediately supported her, "Where does it hurt? Ah? Tell me."
Lai Xiang wanted to shake him off, but was afraid he would feel uncomfortable. After a pause, Lai Xiang said calmly, "So, you came here tonight to say goodbye to us?"
Tang Jianye said nothing. Lai Xiang knew he had admitted it.
But Lai Xiang couldn't help but ask, "Tang Jianye, if, if nothing happened tonight, would you..."
"I will!" Tang Jianye interrupted Lai Xiang before she could finish. He straightened Lai Xiang's body and looked directly into her eyes, "Xiangxiang, I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I kept it to myself.
I came here today just to ask you. I have selfish motives. I'm afraid that if I go to the battlefield, I'll never come back. I know in my heart that I shouldn't drag you down, shouldn't tell you, but I can't help it.
Lai Xiang was very happy. She was happy that Tang Jianye could say these words.
Holding Tang Jianye's hand, he said, "Tang Jianye, go ahead. I know you are a soldier and it is your duty to go to the battlefield. I won't hold you back. I will wait for you to come back."
Tang Jianye's breathing became heavier. He didn't expect Xiangxiang to agree without crying or making a fuss. He stared at Lai Xiang very seriously.
"Xiangxiang, I will try my best. I said if, if I can't come back..."
Lai Xiang stepped forward and covered Tang Jianye's mouth with her mouth.
Tang Jianye......
With a "boom", he felt as if something exploded in his head, a dazzling array of colors. But he just didn't know how to think.
Lai Xiang left immediately, then lowered her head shyly, "Don't say those unlucky words. I believe you will come back safely."
If Tang Jianye could control himself, he would not be a man. He held Lai Xiang's shoulders with both hands and looked down at Lai Xiang, "Xiangxiang, good Xiangxiang, just now, I didn't come back to my senses just now.
That doesn’t count. Xiangxiang, try again.”
The voice was so lingering and sad that Lai Xiang felt her face flush even redder. But, what a fool! How could he talk like that? She liked it, though.
After experiencing her parents being sent to the cowshed and being betrayed by the person she had always liked, Lai Xiang is no longer shy. She mustered up the courage to look up and kiss Tang Jianye.
Tang Jianye had been waiting for this. This time, Tang Jianye directly pouted Lai Xiang's lips until Lai Xiang felt that all the air in her chest had been sucked out and she could no longer breathe. Then she used her hands to push Tang Jianye away.
Tang Jianye was also panting. He cursed himself inwardly for being useless. Had all those lung capacity training sessions been in vain? How could he give up after just a few moments?
No, you have to be more diligent when you go back.
