"Everyone has worked hard. Let's hurry back and see if we can make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner!" Song Zhe said loudly.
"Okay," everyone responded happily.
Looking at these adorable guys, Song Zhe felt comforted.
Their best wish for the New Year is that there were no casualties during this firefighting effort.
Susu, are you celebrating the New Year with your family now?
As Song Zhe walked, he kept thinking about Su Tian. Every time he thought about the moment he broke up with her and how heartbroken she looked, he felt like a bastard.
He was worthy of his country and his people, but he failed her.
Song Zhe took a deep breath and continued leading the team forward. By the time they returned to the camp, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
"Commander, we're finally back!" The group cheered happily.
Just then, Lu Yu rushed over, "Old Song, what happened to you guys? Why are you covered in dust?"
"It's nothing. I found a fire on the mountain on the way back and helped put it out, which is why I'm late," Song Zhe said calmly.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go wash up first and get yourself clean. We'll have dinner at seven."
After hearing Lu Yu's order, everyone happily dispersed.
"Let's go, let's go upstairs together." Lu Yu put his arm around Song Zhe's shoulder and followed him upstairs.
When Song Zhe heard that he was also going up, he glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing up here?"
"I came up here to wait for you, afraid you'd be lonely and overthink things." Lu Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Then I really should thank you."
After they entered the dormitory, Song Zhe took off his coat and put it on a stool. After he took a shower, Lu Yu found a notebook lying on the floor.
He picked it up, opened it, and saw that it was Song Zhe's diary. He glanced at it casually and then closed it.
Sigh, his brother is so devoted; he didn't even forget to write about Su Zhiqing in his diary while doing his mission.
"I'm done washing, I can go now."
Song Zhe dried his hair with a towel, picked up his coat, and noticed the notebook on the table, so he put it back in his pocket.
"Old Song, you've started writing a diary now?"
Song Zhe nodded, noticing Lu Yu's curious gaze.
Do you still like her?
"I like it, I really like it. Let's go, let's go eat."
After hurriedly finishing his meal, Song Zhe rushed to his office to call Su Tian.
He dialed her home phone number and waited anxiously.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Uncle, Happy New Year! It's me, Song Zhe. Is Su Tian there?"
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll call her for you."
Su Jianjun shouted loudly, "Daughter, come here quickly, I have a phone call for you."
Su Tian, who was munching on sunflower seeds in the living room, immediately replied, "Coming."
"Go ahead and answer it, it's Xiao Song. I'll go out first so you two can have a good chat." Su Jianjun smiled and took the newspaper outside to read.
Su Tian held the microphone to her ear, but Song Zhe didn't know how to start the conversation. Su Tian remained silent, and the two listened quietly to each other's breathing.
A few minutes later, Song Zhe, suppressing his heartache, asked, "Su Su, how have you been lately?"
"It's alright. Although I don't have a boyfriend anymore, I still have family, and they all care about me a lot," Su Tian replied calmly.
When Song Zhe heard Su Tian say those words, he panicked. Had they really broken up? Had she accepted his decision to break up?
Song Zhe simply couldn't accept the fact that they had broken up. He took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Su Su, I...we really broke up?"
"That's your question. You brought it up, and I'm just accepting your suggestion."
"It's a give-and-take situation, so I also want to ask you, Song Zhe, how have you been lately?"
Su Tian thought she should make him angry and see if he would still mention breaking up. This man, if he wasn't taught a lesson, would break up with her as casually as eating a meal.
Song Zhe was silent for a moment, then replied, "Let's not break up, okay? I regret it."
Su Tian said firmly, "It's your business if you regret it, but did you think about today when you hurt me?"
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. Can we still be friends? Can I write to you in the future?" Song Zhe was terrified, terrified that Su Tian would refuse his request.
"Okay, write whatever you want."
A smile finally appeared on Song Zhe's face. "Su Su, Happy New Year! I love you!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, afraid that Su Tian would refute his words and stop him from loving her, and also afraid of hearing Su Tian say that she no longer loved him.
Su Tian was so angry she laughed when she heard the "smack" of the phone being hung up.
Hanging up the phone so quickly, aren't you afraid she'll get angry?
After hanging up the phone, Song Zhe slumped in his chair for a long time, looking at the bracelet and ring on his hand and touching the small gourd around his neck.
He still felt terrible. Was this how it was going to end for them? More than a month later, he could still hear her voice, and he was content.
"Old Song, are you done making the call?" Lu Yu came to see his good brother after finishing his meal.
"What did she say?"
"She said she didn't have a boyfriend anymore. It's my business if I regret it. Did you think about today when you broke up with me?"
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then asked again, "Is that all?"
"I asked if we could still be friends and if we could write letters, and she said I could write whenever I wanted."
"Hey bro, there's still hope! Why don't you just win her back? Write her love letters and try to win her back."
Song Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Lu Yu's words.
"good."
Song Zhe's gloomy mood, which had been hanging over him for the past month, finally cleared up.
He immediately pulled out a letter from the drawer. "Doesn't university start in March?"
"Yes, right? You write one letter and send it to her home first, and then send the ones you write later to her school."
She got into university? Which one?
“I believe she will pass the exam. She told me before that she wanted to go to a Chinese medicine college in Beijing.”
Song Zhe ignored Lu Yu beside him and started writing furiously.
Lu Yu also sat down next to him and started reading a military magazine. An hour later, he discovered that his brother's letter was five pages long.
"Old Song, you're amazing! This writing is so fluent, a five-page love letter."
“You don’t understand, these five pages can’t express all my love for her.”
Song Zhe looked at what he wrote with a smile in his eyes. At the end of his writing, he drew a big heart shape, and inside the heart shape, he drew a little figure of him and Su Tian being affectionate.
Finally, he carefully folded it up, put it in an envelope, and placed it in a drawer, intending to mail it out first thing tomorrow morning.
"Let's go back and rest," Lu Yu said with a smile.
"good."
Lu Yu habitually put his hand on his shoulder. As they walked, he suddenly asked, "Old Song, if you could do it all over again, would you still want to get to know Su Zhiqing?"
Song Zhe answered without hesitation, "Yes."
"Dating is so painful, do you want to go through it again?" Lu Yu looked at him, puzzled.
“But the sweet moments outweigh the painful ones. I really enjoy it. You wouldn’t understand. Let’s go quickly,” Song Zhe urged.
