Chapter 36: The first confession

Li Fen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." Her young and healthy smile was beautiful and calm, without a trace of pretentious feeling. Zhao Jianhui felt that if he could not grasp her, it would be a regret for his whole life.

When Zhao Jianhui was having dinner, he realized that because his family’s financial conditions were not good, Li Fen did not take the college entrance examination. Zhao Jianhui sighed deeply. If he hadn’t been to the military academy, would he be the same as Li Fen?

"Can you tell me why you invited me to dinner? You are a college student now and will stay in the army as an officer after graduation. Are you willing to find someone without a job to live your life?" Although there was still a red tide on Li Fen's face, she still held back the shyness and asked the question she should ask.

Zhao Jianhui said honestly: "Since I saw you on the way back that day, I... I have been thinking about how you smile..."

The hint of shame that Li Fen had when she ran away that evening was flying up again.

"After I saw you that day, until the time I just walked in front of you, there was nothing in my mind, and your figure was shaking. I said to myself: If I have the opportunity to meet you again, I must tell you my feelings, no matter what the consequences will be after I say it."

Li Fen lowered her head and didn't look at Zhao Jianhui's eyes for a long time.

Zhao Jianhui likes this kind of shyness. Among all shyness, this kind of shyness unique to a girl is the most beautiful, and can make men give up everything in their lives for it.

"I...I don't mean anything else, I just confess my true thoughts. It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. As long as I give me such a chance to confess, I'm already satisfied."

Li Fen raised her head, seemed to think for a long time, and said to Zhao Jianhui: "I never thought I would know you in this way. I...I thought to go to work in the south, and my family members forced me to come. If we...we really confirmed the relationship, will you support me to go out?"

"Well, I will support you no matter what you want. Wait for me, I will graduate from college in one year. When I graduate and get married, we will get married. The salary in the army is quite high now. I can support you after getting married." Zhao Jianhui said confidently.

Li Fen's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded gently.

There will definitely be a wonderful day in a person's life. Zhao Jianhui feels that the day between him and Li Fen is definitely the best time in his life.

In the following days, Li Fen spent most of her time with Zhao Jianhui under the moonlight. The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and they enjoyed the passionate hug after each meeting. On the last day when Zhao Jianhui returned to school, the two gave each other their first kiss.

One person’s longing is pain, and two people’s longing is sweet.

After returning to the military academy, Zhao Jianhui and Li Fen rely on the letters sent by Hongyan, telling their longing for each other. Sometimes, looking at Li Fen's photos, Zhao Jianhui woke up from his sleep many times.

Just when Zhao Jianhui had beautiful visions and counted on his fingers that he would be assigned to the army in less than two months before graduation, a military order was as high as a mountain. He didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to Li Fen in person, so he was sent to the China-Myanmar border to carry out a secret mission.

There, he met a group of passionate men and also won himself the reputation of Zhao Laohu. The little lieutenant when he graduated, he had already taken the rank of major on his shoulders after returning to China. That year, Zhao Jianhui was just twenty-two years old, and among the classmates who graduated from the same class, his rank was the highest.

In his pocket, Li Fen's photos had been worn out. When performing special tasks and facing difficulties in life and death, this photo actually became his belief and courage to survive.

It has been two years since Zhao Jianhui strictly abides by military discipline because of this special task, and has never called Li Fen or wrote a letter to Li Fen. Finally, he was about to see his relatives he had been thinking about day and night. Zhao Jianhui excitedly picked up his backpack, and he wanted to fly back to Li Fen now.

However, the God of Destiny once again made a small joke with him. Just when he bought the ticket and was about to get on the bus, he received another military order to peacekeeping in Congo.

It was there that he met the beautiful female military doctor Long Lingyun. But what he could not imagine was how Long Lingyun would fall in love with him? He also transferred himself to the Western Sichuan Military Region and prepared a new house to get married.

Faced with Long Lingyun's questioning, Zhao Jianhui had no idea where he was wrong. Just when he didn't know how to answer Long Lingyun's question, a wealthy lady in her fifties had already walked in with a calm face.

"Zhao Jianhui, what do you think of our Xiaoyun? Can you bully my daughter at will?" She is Long Lingyun's mother, the noble general's wife.

"I...how could I bully her? Aunt, your daughter is my comrade-in-arms. If someone bullies her, I am willing to give everything and even my life to protect her safety. I have a good impression of her and I don't deny it, but that's not love, I have a fiancée at home..."

"Enough, I don't want to hear what you said. I just want to know if you are willing to marry Yun'er?"

"Aunt, if I abandon my fiancée from my hometown and marry your daughter, who will I become? Can you want such a son-in-law?" Zhao Jianhui looked at the general's wife, shook his head very firmly, turned his face to Long Lingyun and said, "Please forgive me, I think all this happening between us is a misunderstanding."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room with a solid step. Behind him, the general's wife snorted coldly: "I don't know if you believe it or not, can you change your destiny with just one word?"

Zhao Jianhui had no choice but to believe it, because just one sentence from her immediately changed Zhao Jianhui's fate.

He transferred from a deputy lieutenant and deputy league cadre, and returned to his hometown, a small county town, and became the security chief of the county winery, but he still couldn't get a salary. Until he became a glorious security guard, all of this can be said to be thanks to her words.

"Hey, are you doing well? There is no movement when I go to the toilet for so long. I warn you, don't think about jumping into the window and running away. This is the 25th floor." Zhao Jianhui was immersed in the brilliant memories of fireworks. He didn't know when he finished peeing.

Hearing Long Lingyun shouting at the door of the toilet, he hurriedly agreed. Will I jump off the building and run away? I'm not dizzy yet, why should I jump off the building?

Only when he slowly walked back to the room could he calm down from the memories of the past.

Zhao Jianhui looked at Long Lingyun who was following him and smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, Miss Long, this is the ward, I have nothing to entertain you. I'm going to bed, so you'd better ask me back?"

"Before saying this, please think clearly about who I am? I won't have seen you for more than a year. You have forgotten what I do, right?" Long Lingyun smiled and sat down next to Zhao Jianhui on the hospital bed: "This ward is too simple, it's better to change to another one tomorrow."

"It's better to change the room? Miss Long, this ward was arranged by the police. If they didn't pay the money, I still don't know if I could afford the hospitalization fee. If I change the room, a better ward? I, a poor boy, don't have that kind of enjoyment." When I thought that I was in such a "miserable" situation because of the girl in front of me, Zhao Jianhui's words were filled with resentment.

"Are you blaming me?" Long Lingyun turned his head and stared at Zhao Jianhui with big beautiful eyes. Tears were already hidden in his eyes: "You only know how I have spent more than a year? Hearing the news that my mother asked you to change careers, I had a big fight with her. I originally thought of looking for you in Province S, but the hospital arranged for me to go abroad for exchanges and study. I knew that this was the trick of my mother in the middle, but the military order had already been released. You were also a soldier. You should know the reason why the military order is as good as a mountain..." As he said that, Long Lingyun was already crying.

"I..." Zhao Jianhui was most disgusted with the woman. When he saw Long Lingyun crying while talking, he couldn't help but lower his head and couldn't speak. However, when he heard that Long Lingyun did not chase him because he went abroad to communicate, he felt a little relaxed in his heart.

Even Zhao Jianhui was surprised by this feeling. Did he always look forward to Long Lingyun coming to find me in his heart? Could it be that the resentment just now was because Long Lingyun hadn't come to find him for more than a year before he had inexplicably attacked him? No, it must not be like this!!

"What are you? Your fiancée has broken up with you. You don't have an excuse now, right? If you drive me away again, unless you have never liked me."

"I……"

"Do you remember what you said that day? You can give up everything for a girl and even protect her safety. If such a relationship is not love, what would it be? You love me, I have known for a long time that you love me, right?" Long Lingyun said as he stretched out his arms and hugged Zhao Jianhui tightly: "For more than a year, I have been thinking about you and missing you all the time...Hold me Jianhui tightly, I can never lose you again..."

I... do I really love Long Lingyun? Zhao Jianhui let Long Lingyun lie on his chest and sobbed constantly. His hands were raised in the air, wondering whether he should push her away or hug the delicate body.

What does it feel like to love someone?

Is it because she can give everything she has, or is it uncomfortable to see her for a day? However, these two feelings are placed on two women separately. What is this?
