On the way home, Qi Lei drove.

He was driving smoothly and skillfully. Dongfang Liuyun, who was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat, was silently looking out of the car window.

The couple did not say anything, but the atmosphere in the car was harmonious and calm.

“Will we always be like this? Liuyun?”

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Lei suddenly asked in a low voice without turning to look at her.

The light in Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes flickered for a moment before she replied calmly, “Yes.”

Her simple and powerful tone was an oath of her determination.

As he listened, a hint of gentleness appeared in Qi Lei’s deep eyes. “I think so too. I will protect you well. Don’t worry. You are my wife, my woman. No matter what you want to do, I will definitely support you with all my strength and will never retreat.”

“Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?”

Dongfang Liuyun seemed to realize that something was wrong with him. She suddenly turned to look at him.

“No reason. I’m just determined to protect you well. Actually, a few days ago, Lan Xiu came looking for me. I can tell that he really loves you, but he didn’t have the courage to make you happy.”

Qi Lei said very calmly.

At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment, then retracted her gaze. “He didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”

“No, he’s really a pretty good person. He cares a lot about you,” Qi Lei replied.

Dongfang Liuyun eased up a little, “That’s good. Lan Xiu is a very gentle person. You’ll understand once you get to know him. My father has always hoped that he could be his son-in-law, but we couldn’t cross that step. Perhaps this is the so-called fate. He sees him like a son, so Lan Xiu has a good relations.h.i.+p with my father. You don’t have to care too much about father’s end, just treat him like an older brother and treat him with respect, like I do.”

“I understand. He’s actually quite dependable, and he speaks with pertinence. I look at how he feels about you, and I sometimes doubt that…”

“You don’t have to doubt anything. Between me and Lan Xiu, we know our places very well, we won’t have a relations.h.i.+p that goes beyond that. Of course, we won’t be completely unrelated either. I’ve told you before. Lan Xiu’s past isn’t any better than yours. He’s no different from an orphan now. His situation is similar to yours.”

“My father dotes on him quite a lot, and so does Ms. Song. He has his own room in Tanshan Villa District. I rarely went home to City Z in the past few years. Over the years, he’s been by my parents’ side more. To a certain extent, I’m…”

“You don’t have to say it. I understand.”

Qi Lei looked at her and gave her a rea.s.suring look.

“Yes, it’s good that you know. I don’t want any unnecessary suspicions and misunderstandings between us because I think those are all avoidable foolish acts.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she brushed her bangs. “I’m also learning to be a qualified wife. If you have any dissatisfaction, you must bring it up. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what you men are thinking either.”

“If you want to understand me, I won’t deny you a chance.”

A meaningful smile appeared on Qi Lei’s face.

“How are you going to do that? Dig out your heart?”

Dongfang Liuyun shrugged.

“I’m afraid of pain.”

Qi Lei answered honestly.

At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun turned to look out the window. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, forming a faint arc.

…

The night fell. Due to the gloomy weather in the past few days, they had not caught up with the clear sky. It was rare to see a trace of the setting sun in the evening. At this moment, the night sky was still somewhat gloomy, and there was no sight of the gentle moon.

At this time, the company of troops was more lively than usual at night.

Tomorrow was the annual reunion festival. The soldiers were at their most homesick, but the officers and soldiers who could not take a holiday could only stay in the company.

Life in the army was actually very monotonous. Most of the time, they only trained and did some homework during their free time. Whenever the festivities came around, they would also spontaneously organize some entertainment programs to add to the fun.

Just like tonight.

When Qin Su walked out of her office, she heard the sound of a melodious flute from afar. If she listened closely, she could still tell what tune it was playing.

“It’s pretty good, isn’t it? Old Xiong of your company is playing, ‘I Love The Northern Border Snow’. His lover teaches music, and this is the tune he plays the best. Back then, he conquered Teacher Wei with this tune.”

It was the Third Company Commander behind Qin Su who spoke.

Qin Su turned to look at him. His stern face was not as cold as before.

“Didn’t our Company Commander meet the requirements to join the army?”

After some thought, Qin Su asked in a low voice, her voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.

“Teacher Wei’s job is not easy to adjust. Moreover, your Company Commander’s mother is old and not in good health. Your Company Commander is the only son in the family. It is not that simple to join the army. This place is also quite far from the city. If he could find a job in the city, it would be fine. Your Company Commander’s son should be in school this year.”

The Third Company Commander sounded a little helpless. He could empathize with Qin Su on this aspect. Fortunately, his wife was a local. However, they usually only met once or twice a week.

Qin Su lowered her eyes and thought for a while. “Our line of work is really…”

“Don’t say that!”

The Third Company Commander seemed to realize what Qin Su wanted to say, so he stopped her, “Don’t ever have such thoughts. If you know how to manage, our relations.h.i.+ps and marriages can also last long. It’s more difficult to say for the lower-level cadres and soldiers like us, to be our other half is also much more difficult. This requires sufficient courage and boldness. How can it be as beautiful as what they write on TV or in novels? After all, life is not really an idol drama.”

“Every partner of a soldier is worthy of respect, especially when they face it alone. Third Company Commander, I know that. Oh right, I just came back from the regimental division, they are planning to hold a large-scale social event at the end of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. The partic.i.p.ants are the doctors and nurses from several hospitals, as well as some members of the public who are supporters of the army.”

“Instructor Qin, this time?”

The Third Company Commander looked at Qin Su with a smile.

“It has nothing to do with me. The Third Company Commander is responsible for informing your company and getting them to practice hard.”

“Of course. Thank you, Instructor Qin!”

“You’re welcome,” Qin Su replied and then walked away.

She still had to rush home tomorrow. Although she did not really want to go back, Mei Xiaoyue had already called her personally. Otherwise, she would have directly called the regimental division. Qin Su could only comply.
