Mi Xaing 'er sat in the main room in a daze. Her gaze was lowered to the ground, and she appeared listless. There were still leftover roast goose and an empty wine bottle on the table. There were also a few bowls, plates, and cups, but she was not in the mood to collect them. Her entire heart seemed to be empty. She was not thinking about anything, but it also seemed to be stuffed full. She could not describe what she was feeling.
She did not know how long she had been sitting there for.
Suddenly, she heard a noise in the courtyard. She quickly got up to check. Just as she walked to the door, the door was already pushed open.
Yun Jingting walked in slowly. He walked across her and lowered his head to look at her. Her eyes were watery as if they were misty. Her fair face looked even more clear and flawless under the mercury lamp. She seemed to have lost some weight. Her originally small face had become more like a "melon seed". She looked so delicate that it made people feel pity for her.
The moment he saw her …
The gloominess in Yun Laohu's chest seemed to have disappeared in an instant. His expression also eased a lot. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the messy cups and plates. He then thought of Mi Xiang's laughter when she was riding the bicycle. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
This was probably the unpredictability of a person's state of mind when they were in love.
No matter who it was …
Everyone was the same.
He walked to the table gloomily and sat on the chair. He placed one arm on the corner of the table and tapped the table with his rough fingers. He pushed the wine cup in his hand in disgust.
Mi Xaing 'er was observant. She quickly walked over and quietly took away the bowls and chopsticks.
She also did not dare to ask Yun Jingting if he ate goose meat.
She was afraid of being "glared at" …
He quickly brewed half a pot of new tea, poured a cup, and handed it to Yun Tuan with a chuckle. "Yun Tuan, I heard that the canals have been repaired. You can be considered to be returning to the regiment division now."
There was a hint of caution in her voice.
It was not that she was afraid of him …
It was from the bottom of her heart that she did not want to make him angry. She always thought that since he was "contributing bricks and tiles" to the socialist canals in the mountains, she should not "make things difficult" for him.
She didn't think too much about it. She only categorized her "thoughtful" feelings as gratitude and friendship.
Yun Jingting glanced sideways at her face and hesitated for a moment before taking the cup. However, she did not drink the tea but played with it in her hands. Her gaze fell on the green tea, but from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Mi Xaing 'er's slender figure. "You … cough … cough …"
He didn't know what to say.
Mi Xaing 'er leaned half of her body against the corner of the table, two steps away from him. The sweet scent of alcohol lingered in the air. "How's the injury on your leg?"
“”
"Are there any scars?"
“”
The girl's delicate fingers twirled the ends of her hair. "You seem to have lost weight recently. You must be tired from rushing through the canal."
As soon as the words left my mouth.
Yun Jingting felt a burst of warmth in her chest. The warmth spread and her whole body felt comfortable. It was as if she had forgotten why she was angry just now.
She took a sip of tea and placed the cup on the table. She raised her head slightly. "Mi Xaing 'er, I want to talk to you properly. Have a seat."
"Okay." She sat down as she was told. For some reason, she had some doubts in her heart. "If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to make it so formal?"
Yun Jingting stared at her face silently. His mind was quickly organizing his words.
He came a little rashly.
The "reunion" he had originally envisioned was not the scene at this moment. It was supposed to be as warm as spring and gentle.
However …
Ni Dahai rode his bicycle under the moonlight and chased after Mi Xaing 'er.
And
Division Commander Liang's attitude.
It made him change his original thoughts.
He felt that there was a burning fire surging in his blood now. It was running wantonly through his limbs and bones, burning him until he was anxious and unbearable. He was even a little unable to think.
He might as well get straight to the point. "Before I left, I submitted a marriage application to the organization. It's been four weeks now, but it's been kept at the division headquarters. It hasn't been approved yet. What do you think of this matter?"
Ah
He asked so bluntly.
Mi Xaing 'er was stunned. "Why are you still bringing this up?"
She gave a simple and clear answer. "Didn't I tell you before? The two of us aren't suitable in any way. Now that I look at it, I'm not the only one who thinks so. The leaders in the army think so too. Objectively speaking, there's nothing wrong with them not approving it."
There's nothing you can't do, be it your career or your relationship. Therefore, when it comes to marriage, the more resistance there is, the more stubborn you will be. Forget it, this is an important matter in life. Don't be angry. You have to think thrice. In my opinion, you should withdraw the marriage application as soon as possible. From my perspective, I fully support and agree with your decision. "
She paused for a moment and continued resolutely, "Even if the army really agrees to let you marry me, I personally don't agree to it."
Yun Jingting was not angry. He raised one of his eyebrows. "Why don't you agree?"
"Ah …"
Mi Xaing 'er thought about it and really could not say why.
Her conditions were not good.
Her character was bad.
Her physique was weak.
Or there was a problem with her character. All these secular conditions of "rejecting marriage" were not related to her.
After holding it in for a long time, he came up with a plausible reason. "It's because you're too good. I'm not worthy of you."
Yun Jingting smiled. There was a hint of determination in his smile, as if he had already made up his mind. "I understand. I won't say anymore."
He stood up and was about to leave.
He was already at the door, but he did not turn back. In a low voice, he said, "Mi Xaing 'er, I'm a soldier. I only look at actions and not words. I only want to say one thing. I'm not impulsive in marrying a wife. I'm not angry or reckless. From that day onwards, you put duck thighs in my lunch box. Also, you insisted on going up the mountain to save me."
He stopped talking and lifted the curtain. He waved his hand lightly. "It's too late. I'm leaving."
----- Digression —
It's too late.
I'm leaving.
Right.
Tiger is walking further and further down the path of love.
