Shuning, I, He Chaoyang, swear in the name of a soldier that as long as I have a breath left, I will protect you and never let you suffer any injustice. Shuning, I am willing to spend my whole life cherishing you and giving you happiness.
Before I met you, I never thought about marriage. After I met you, I never thought about anyone else. So, Shuning, will you marry me?
Having lived two lifetimes, this was truly the first time Chen Shuning had ever been proposed to.
Faced with He Chaoyang's heartfelt confession, Chen Shuning's eyes glistened with tears, her face filled with surprise and emotion.
At that moment, she felt as if she were in a dream; she had never imagined that she would experience such a moment.
Although there were no flowers or rings at this moment, Chen Shuning felt incredibly happy and at peace.
Tears welled up uncontrollably, and Chen Shuning was so excited that she could hardly speak. She could only nod gently and manage to utter a single word, "Okay."
Despite how fluently He Chaoyang spoke just now, his inner self was far less composed and calm than he appeared.
He Chaoyang felt his heart pounding wildly for the first time, beyond his control. While waiting for the little girl's answer, he even forgot to breathe.
It wasn't until Chen Shuning uttered that soft "okay" that He Chaoyang felt his wildly beating heart gradually calm down.
The lungs, which had been aching from forgetting to breathe, were relieved at this moment.
He Chaoyang was incredibly excited and thrilled after his successful marriage proposal.
He felt as if he were floating on clouds, and the whole world seemed to become beautiful. His heart raced, and a happy smile spread across his face.
Looking at Chen Shuning with deep affection, his eyes filled with love and gratitude, he excitedly grasped Chen Shuning's hand tightly and said, "Shuning, this is the first time in my life that I, He Chaoyang, have liked someone. If there is anything I have done wrong, just tell me, and I will definitely change."
At this moment, He Chaoyang could feel Chen Shuning's warmth, and felt her love and trust for him.
He knew that this moment would be the most important moment of his life, and he would remember it forever.
Looking at the woman who had never left his heart since the first time he saw her, He Chaoyang felt that he was the luckiest person in the world because he was able to be with the woman he loved and walk towards the future together.
"Okay, you too. If there's anything I do wrong, just tell me. Let's both work hard together for a better life in the future."
Chen Shuning's face was also covered in tears, and she tightly gripped He Chaoyang's large hand.
She knew that the man before her would become the most important person in her life, and she would love him and support him forever.
At this moment, their hearts are intertwined, and their love will last forever.
They know there is still a long road ahead, but they believe that as long as they love each other and support one another, they will surely be able to create a bright future.
For the next few days, He Chaoyang rested in his hospital bed.
Because of the special instructions from the military region leaders, Chen Shuning would go to the hospital cafeteria every day to personally prepare meals for He Chaoyang.
Besides the privilege of being able to enter and exit the cafeteria kitchen at any time, the old men who interrogated her on the first night also gave Chen Shuning a lot of money and tickets.
They suggested she buy more good things for He Chaoyang to nourish his body, but Chen Shuning refused, firstly because she really didn't need those things.
Secondly, Chen Shuning knew that He Chaoyang's identity was special, and that using the hospital cafeteria was out of necessity. She couldn't very well rent a house near the hospital just because He Chaoyang was hospitalized.
Regarding the matter of borrowing the kitchen, Chen Shuning would always cook extra food each time she cooked, leaving some for the canteen staff, saying it was so that everyone could taste her cooking skills. In reality, everyone knew that Chen Shuning was just finding ways to repay the favor of borrowing the kitchen.
So when several leaders in the military region offered her money and tickets, Chen Shuning firmly refused, not wanting to cause trouble for He Chaoyang or even the He family for such a small gain.
However, it was difficult for Chen Shuning, a young educated youth from the brigade, to ask for leave. Even if the brigade leader's family had a good relationship with Chen Shuning, it was not easy to give her so many days off at once.
So she had to trouble the leaders in the army to help her ask for leave. Of course, the army commander directly called the commune, so the brigade leader of Qingshan Brigade wouldn't have to bother.
The highest-ranking officer of the local garrison made the call personally, and the commune naturally approved the leave with trepidation. They also told Chen Shuning not to rush back, to take good care of Regiment Commander He, and to come back after Regiment Commander He had fully recovered.
In the end, Chen Shuning was a little embarrassed.
Soldiers are physically fit, and with Chen Shuning preparing a variety of nutritious meals for him every day, all with added ingredients, He Chaoyang recovered very quickly.
Just a week later, with the doctor's permission after the examination, He Chaoyang was able to slowly walk out of the ward with Chen Shuning, into the hospital garden, breathe in the fresh air, and feel the warmth of the sun.
Because Chen Shuning accepted the marriage proposal, He Chaoyang wrote a marriage report the very next morning after regaining consciousness. He handed it directly to his superior, who was still there due to his injuries, and repeatedly asked the superior to approve it on the spot.
Seeing this long-standing problem that gave the military region's political commissar the biggest headache, now looking so eager to get married, he came to visit the military region's top leader in the hospital.
He smiled as he received the marriage application from He Chaoyang's direct supervisor, approved it personally, and then couldn't resist teasing He Chaoyang.
Having achieved his goal, He Chaoyang didn't care about the commander's teasing. He happily put away the marriage report, adopting an attitude of "say what you want," which left the commander somewhat helpless. After instructing him to take good care of his injuries, the commander left.
