Qin Zhi 'ai had always been smart. When Gu Yusheng had taken her to see the corpses of his comrades and told her about the things he had done in the army, she had been a little nervous. When he had told her that he had been called away by his former leader the day before, she had instantly understood why he had told her those things before.
He was using the most direct way to make her understand his choice.
Although she didn't know exactly what he was going to do, she knew from what he had said that his missions were all matters of life and death.
Qin Zhi 'ai stared at Gu Yusheng's delicate face and didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Yusheng gave her enough time and patiently waited for her answer.
After a long silence between them, Qin Zhi 'ai finally said, "When are you leaving?"
She hadn't asked, "Can I not go?" nor had she asked, "Gu Yusheng, why didn't you discuss it with me before you left me?" She had asked, "When are you leaving?"
Gu Yusheng was very clear about what those words meant.
She hadn't stopped him. She had understood him.
Yesterday, when his leader had asked him to go back and help out, he had hesitated. After leaving the army, he had lived in a muddle for so many years. Finally, he had found the girl he loved, had a child, and lived a stable life. Now that he was asked to do something that would cost him his life, how could he not hesitate?
But in the end, he had nodded and agreed.
He had been away from the army for too long. If he hadn't been so outstanding, he wouldn't have been called back urgently.
Then, there had been a series of interrogations.
He hadn't been released home until noon that day.
When he had driven the car into the neighborhood, he had been a little afraid. He had been afraid that she would cry and refuse to let him go. He had been afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it and that she would hurt herself and the child in her belly. He had been afraid of too many things …
But he hadn't expected that she hadn't cried or made a fuss. Instead, she had directly agreed.
Her maturity had made his heart ache even more and made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Guilt and self-blame had drowned his chest like a tide. He had stared into her eyes for a long time before he spoke. Instead of answering her question, he had asked, "Xiao 'ai, don't you blame me?"
Blame him for what? Blame him for leaving her and the child in her belly and going to the dangerous frontier? Resentful that his blood was hot, his heart was hot, and that he deeply loved these great rivers and mountains?
When it came to selfishness, no one would want their loved ones to do something dangerous. But sometimes, someone had to be sacrificed.
What's more, she had truly fallen in love with him. It was the night when he told her about his hot-blooded mountain and river dream when they were young …
After so many years, he was still the same person. If she resented him and made him stay, then wouldn't he not be the person she loved?
Qin Zhi 'ai shook her head at Gu Yusheng. "No, I just feel bad."
He really didn't blame her.
He just felt a little sad.
Her words almost made Gu Yusheng's eyes turn red. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. After hugging her tightly for a while, he answered her question. "I'm leaving tomorrow morning."
Tomorrow morning? There's only so little time left? Qin Zhi 'ai could feel that Gu Yusheng's mission was urgent, but she hadn't expected him to leave in such a hurry. Seeing that they were about to part, she felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes.
