Chapter 74: Anweiâs memory, Shuhan goes for a checkup
(Part 1)
He remembered the night before Geng Zhengâs wedding, the groom- to- be was drunk. Holding Lu Anweiâs hand, he said, âHow I wish! How I wish that squad of brothers could attend my weddingâŠâŠ Yet now there are only the two of us left!â Geng Zheng cried and laughed at the same time and said to Lu Anwei, âSo many times, it has whizzed by my head ah! Other than my heart, there are no other places throughout my body that does not have bullet holesâŠ. I have grown tired of it. Iâm getting married, I have a wife, my wife is pregnant! Qiao Ying is already 3 months pregnant! In October. Iâm going to be a father at the latest in October this year! âŠâŠIâve already submitted my application and will be transferred to the local Peopleâs Armed Police at the end of the year. Itâs much safer to be part of the local armed police than what we are now. Bro! Youâre the only brother I have left. Promise me! Donât die!â
Youâre the only brother I have leftâŠâŠ Donât dieâŠâŠ
Werenât these words also Lu Anweiâs innermost thoughts?
When they went on a mission, when ever did they not have a close shave?
Geng Zheng had just been married for less than half a year, to die in the line duty, what is going to happen to his wife and kid? At the end, he could not wait for the birth of his childâŠâŠ
Lu Anwei could not cry even if he wanted toâŠâŠ The ten comrades that year, each and every one of them have departed the world, leaving him all aloneâŠâŠ Lu Anweiâs hands trembled uncontrollably. He was so afraid, not that he was afraid of dying but he was afraid that if he and Qin Shuhan really got together, what will happen to herâŠ. after he died?
The resignation that he spoke of previously was nothing but a deception. He knew deep down that he was still hoping for Qin Shuhan to change her mind, and constantly looking forward to building a family with Qin Shuhan. But after receiving todayâs call, he truly has no more illusions and was really giving up.
The cost of being together was so great that all his fantasies and hopes has shattered in face of reality. He has always known, always known that in this lifetime, he was unable to give his beloved woman a peaceful and happy life but after meeting Qin Shuhan, he became greedyâŠâŠ He could not see himself clearlyâŠâŠ He learnt to deceive himselfâŠâŠ
But after today, reality gave him a staggering blow that severely woke him up. He has to really and truly let it goâŠâŠ
His mind replayed past scenes of him and Qin Shuhan. After tonight, the past would really become the pastâŠâŠ
The next morning, everyone was somewhat surprised when Lu Anwei and Lu Anhu appeared on time at the dining table. They thought that Lu Anwei and Lu Anhu would shut themselves up in their room for several daysâŠâŠ
âBro AnweiâŠâŠ YouâŠâŠ Are you alrightâŠ..?â Lu Anran asked.
âIâm fine.â Lu Anwei replied and said, âArenât I accompanying Uncle Lu to the hospital for a medical examination today?â
âUhâŠâŠâ On contrary, Uncle Lu felt a little overwhelmed by unexpected favour, âThisâŠâŠâ
âGo ahead!â Lu Anran thought that it was also good to have something to distract him.
âAnran, Iâm full. Letâs go! Itâs time to go to school.â Lu Anhu said after finish eating the porridge in his bowl.
âOkay.â Lu Anran also finished her porridge quickly and got up, carried her bag and went out with Lu Anhu. Uncle Zhangâs vacation has also ended, and today happened to be his first day back. When sending the two to school, the three of them also chatted casually along the way.
Lu Anran tentatively asked Lu Anhu, âAnhuâŠâŠ Are you alright? âŠ. I heard from my motherâŠ..â
After hearing, Lu Anhu put on an ugly smile, âIâm fine. Iâve got used to it a long time ago.â
ââŠâŠâ Lu Anran could not help frowning in response and felt sorry for Lu Anhu who was of the same age as herself. She reached out to grasp Lu Anhuâs hand as a form of silent consolation and support.
âAnranâŠâŠâ Lu Anhu quietly called out.
âHm?â Lu Anran looked at Lu Anhu.
Lu Anhuâs back was facing Lu Anran as he looked out of the window, watching the scenery fly past him, âIâll definitely protect you well! Wonât let you die so easily!â
âEnâŠâŠ I believe you!â Lu Anran also knew that even though Lu Anhu have said that he was fine and was used to it, deep down inside he must have felt really badâŠâŠ
When they arrived at the school, the duo entered the teaching building together. Lu Anhu walked Lu Anran to the entrance of Class D and left a sentence, âWait for me after schoolâ before turning to return to his class.
Gazing at the back figure of Lu Anhu, Lu Anran sighed heavily. Her distressed heart felt an oppressive pain. Just as she was feeling unhappy, there was a hand on her head.
For a moment Lu Anran felt ripples down her back, and immediately following that, her unease and distress magically disappeared. Lu Anran lifted her head and met a pair of very good- looking brown eyes.
âYou are? Senior Long?â Lu Anran still remembered this person in front of her.
âWhat were you thinking of?â When Long Yuxing saw the hurt and sad expression on Lu Anranâs face, he could not help patting her head to comfort her.
Lu Anran avoided Long Yuxingâs hand and smiled embarrassedly, âNothing much. Is there anything, Senior Long?â
âIâm in charge of Class D. So, I came over to meet Class Dâs monitors.â Long Yuxing felt somewhat annoyed. Just because he wanted to see her, he even had to come up with this kind of pain in the ass excuse. So damn embarrassing.
