He could only stare at the flickering light and shadow in the darkness, his ears filled with Gu Ping'an's gradually weakening sobs.
In the dark corner, Qin Qinghua's sinister smile pierced the night:
"Fu Hanzhou, it's time to pay back the debt you owe! I'm determined to destroy what you want! Dream on about getting married!"
He clenched his fists dejectedly, his heart aching. He stood up and rushed over again, but suddenly found himself in Gu Ping'an's training room.
The glaring light in the training room made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
He walked over slowly and saw Gu Ping'an sitting in front of the floor-length mirror, her pale face reflected in the mirror.
She mechanically drew twisted lines on her wrist with lipstick, and each stroke looked like a bleeding wound.
Suddenly, he saw "himself" pushing the door open, his military uniform neatly trimmed. However, when he saw the "bloodstain" on Gu Ping'an's wrist, he froze suddenly:
"Ping An, what's going on?"
He watched as "himself" tried to get closer, but was forced back by the scissors raised by Gu Ping'an.
"Why don't you come?"
Her voice was filled with tears, and the trembling tip of the knife scratched Fu Hanzhou's neck.
"Where were you when Qin Ying was locked in the woodshed? Where were you when I was begging for help in the alley?"
"Fu Hanzhou's" pupils contracted violently, his Adam's apple rolled but he couldn't speak - there was deep doubt in his eyes, but at this moment he saw overwhelming hatred in Gu Ping'an's eyes.
"What happened?"
He heard "himself" asking questions cautiously and could clearly feel the uneasiness in his heart.
Fu Hanzhou, who had entered the dream, slowly approached Gu Ping'an and tried to take the scissors from her hand, but it was still in vain. His throat tightened and he confessed to the collapsed Gu Ping'an:
"I'm sorry...it's me...it's me who implicated you. I didn't expect Qin Qinghua to be so cruel..."
His voice seemed to come from the abyss, but it could not reach anyone.
He saw that "himself" had a serious expression on his face. It took him a long time to find his voice and he spoke stiffly:
"Tell me...what happened?"
The only response he got was Gu Ping'an's desperate laughter.
She sat on the ground in despair, her eyes filled with death...
His vision suddenly went dark. Amid the swaying sound of the rope in the middle of the night, he watched Gu Ping'an step onto the windowsill barefoot.
The moonlight outlined her thin silhouette, which gradually overlapped with Qin Ying's burning figure in the fire.
Gu Ping'an's suicide note fluttered in the wind, and the words "In my next life, I want to be a biting snake" were stained with tears.
The moment Gu Ping'an's neck hit the knot, he saw "himself" madly smashing the door open, but only hugging a gradually cold body.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
If he had not abandoned Qin Ying from the beginning, he would not have married Qin Meihua, and would not have had a relationship with Gu Ping'an. Qin Ying would not have died, and Gu Ping'an would not have died.
But now... it's too late!
He saw "himself" sitting on the ground, crying like a child.
A group leader completely disregarded his image and was filled with remorse.
Looking at my own miserable self, I suddenly felt my eyes sore.
He raised his hand to rub his eyes, but felt a light stinging his eyes. He looked carefully and found that it was the pistol raised by "himself" that was shining with a cold light.
At this moment, he was actually at the execution ground. "Fu Hanzhou" watched Qin Qinghua being escorted to the execution site, listening to him curse crazily:
"Fu Hanzhou, you're the one who made me lose face in this village! I've been pointed at and criticized, and even my blind date broke off the engagement. All of this is your fault. It's because you divorced my sister and let others know that she's a fickle woman. Fu Hanzhou, you too will have to experience the feeling of losing everything!"
As he grinned, he saw "himself" finally pulling the trigger...
The moment the gunshot rang out, he suddenly heard the sharp alarm of the monitor mixed with a noisy sound.
"Captain Fu's vital signs are declining..."
"Fu Hanzhou, you are not allowed to die!"
"If you die, I'll leave! I'll never see you again!"
"Wake up quickly..."
Who is crying so sadly in his ear?
Why do I feel so sad when I hear her crying?
Who shone the flashlight into his eyes?
In the dazzling white light, he squinted his eyes and found himself in his home in the military compound.
He saw his father lose his temper and yell at him:
"You're already 35. If you don't get married, no one will marry you even if you're a brigade commander!"
He saw his mother crying beside him:
"Hanzhou, I know that what happened in the past hurt you a lot, but we should always look forward, right? You said you were alone, but when we're gone, who will take care of you? There won't even be anyone around to ask about your well-being..."
Xu Jinshu couldn't continue speaking and kept sighing. He felt heartbroken as he looked at the aging Xu Jinshu.
It turns out that what "I" do has such a great impact and harm on the people around me.
"Dad, Mom, please stop trying to persuade me. I've already applied to go to the border. The environment there is harsh, and I don't want someone to marry me and then live alone. From the moment I put on this military uniform, I knew that apart from defending my country, nothing else matters. Don't worry, the country will take care of me when I'm old!"
Fu Hanzhou sat in silence, exuding a distinct aura of solemnity.
At the border, all you can see is glaring white snow, and it's so cold that people are shivering.
He felt warm in his heart when he saw his hair slowly turning gray and the love and respect he had from his comrades and new recruits.
That’s fine!
Suddenly, he didn't hate his former self so much anymore. Standing on the snow-capped mountains, he watched "himself" inspect every outpost and urge the soldiers to be careful. In this life, he lost a lot, but also gained inner satisfaction.
