"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I can't go to the wedding."
On the phone, Bai Keyan's voice sounded bitter and helpless.
From the office of the supply and marketing cooperative in Jiahua, Xiaodu, to the Northwest Transmission Base where Bai Keyan was, the long-distance call was transferred back and forth, and the tone was inevitably distorted.
Xiao Jiahua took a long time to confirm that Bai Keyan had indeed said that.
She asked in surprise: "Why?"
The tone was one of disappointment that could hardly be concealed.
It was because of the disappointment that Xiao Jiahua realized that she was looking forward to this wedding more than she had imagined, and to being his bride more.
Bai Keyan did not answer. Since it involved work, he could not say anything.
If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear his heavy breathing.
Xiao Jiahua certainly understood that Bai Keyan was an active-duty soldier, and soldiers could receive tasks assigned by their superiors at any time and anywhere.䀴Their duty is to obey orders.
If Bai Keyan had to follow the orders of his army and had to postpone his wedding, Xiao Jiahua could accept it.
She asked with concern: "You can't go home, is it because the base has assigned you another temporary mission?"
"...No." Bai Keyan seemed to be suppressing something.
Xiao Jiahua asked again: "The task is too complicated, so you can't say anything, right?"
"......Not really." Bai Keyan's voice became weaker and weaker.
Since it has nothing to do with the mission, Xiao Jiahua couldn't understand what other reason could have caused Bai Keyan to break his promise.
She was a little angry: "Bai Keyan, do you know that my parents and my grandparents, and even the elders and villagers in the whole village, already know that we are going to have a wedding at the end of the month. Especially my parents, who have been working hard for half a month to prepare. If you say you won't come, then don't come. How can I explain to them?!"
Bai Keyan seemed to cough, then quickly covered the receiver and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I will definitely go after the New Year."
I'm sorry again, Xiao Jiahua is tired of hearing it.
"You can't do what you said before. How can you guarantee what you will do in the future? Bai Keyan, if you can't do it, you shouldn't have promised in the first place. I hate people who break their promises and don't keep their promises the most!"
After saying that, Xiao Jiahua hung up the phone with a snap, without giving Bai Keyan a chance to explain.
On the other end of the phone, Bai Keyan was sitting in a wheelchair, holding the cold receiver, his mind blank.
After a long time, the pain in his limbs took over his senses again, but he felt that it was not even one ten-thousandth as painful as his heartache.
Comrade Han Dong was standing behind Bai Keyan's wheelchair, feeling extremely distressed.
"Brother, I know you are afraid that your wife will worry, so you don't want to tell her that you are injured. But why don't you just make up an excuse and say that the army sent us on another mission? This way, my sister-in-law can accept it, at least she won't be so angry!"
Bai Keyan coughed a few more times before he said weakly, "I've already lied to Xiaoxiao once, and I don't want to lie again."
The violent coughing was so loud that doctors and nurses were quickly attracted in.
Tao Yan looked around outside and was sweating profusely in anxiety.
When she saw Bai Keyan in the call center, she felt relieved.
Of course, she also knew very well why Bai Keyan would rather sneak out of the ward and come here to make this call after he woke up.
Because, whether before or after the operation, when Bai Keyan was unconscious, he only uttered a woman's name - "Xiaoxiao".
Tao Yan couldn't bear to blame her brother Bai, so she could only get angry at Han Dong.
