This extremely unfamiliar sentence tore a hole in Gu Beichen’s heart, and ice mixed with hail poured into it!
However, as soon as Lin Su finished speaking, he immediately jumped up and, seeing that Lin Su was still on the ground, reached out to pull her up.
But Lin Su had already stood up nimbly on her own, lightly patting the dust off her body, as if she hadn’t seen Gu Beichen’s hand.
Gu Beichen felt as if his heart had been stabbed again. He still remembered how shameless Lin Su was; she used to need him to pull her out of bed every time she woke up.
Even when working in the fields, she would collapse on the ground and refuse to move. He would have to sneakily pull her up each time before she would get up. If he was concerned about what was happening outside and didn’t pull her up, he would have to spend a lot of time coaxing her afterward.
Sometimes she would even shamelessly ask him to carry her home, and if anyone saw her, she would say that her feet hurt, and use that as an excuse to ask the village chief for several days off.
Every time she gets such a vacation, she feels smug and proud at home.
Now when I try to pull her away, she ignores me completely? Why is that?!
After finishing their search, Platoon Leader Zhan rushed over to ask, “Comrade Gu, are you alright?”
Gu Beichen’s heart skipped a beat. Comrade Gu? Could it be that she’s just someone who looks exactly like Lin Su?!
But are there really two people who look exactly alike?
Gu Beichen expressed his doubts. Although the person in front of him was indifferent to him, he was very certain that she was the wife he had been searching for for a long time.
Platoon Leader Zhan introduced the two men: “Regimental Commander Gu, this is our target for this mission, Comrade Gu!”
“Comrade Gu, this is Gu Beichen, the commander of our Independent Regiment.”
Lin Su simply nodded: “Hello, Commander Gu!”
Gu Beichen looked at Lin Su’s hand, but she had hidden it, so he couldn’t see where he wanted to look.
So Gu Beichen took the initiative to extend his hand: “Hello, my name is Gu Beichen!”
Gu Beichen’s initiative left Platoon Leader Zhan completely dumbfounded. Why was Commander Gu extending his hand so readily?!
Once, when he went to the canteen for a meal, he saw Lin Ranran, the star performer of the art troupe, who went to the canteen to stop Gu Beichen and extended her hand: “Commander Gu, hello, my name is Lin Ranran, it’s nice to meet you.”
But Commander Gu only gave Lin Ranran a cold glance and left, showing no intention of helping her at all!
Lin Ranran was unwilling to give up and tried to stop Gu Beichen again, but Gu Beichen hid behind Lu Yan: “Comrade Lin, please have some self-respect. I am a married man and should keep my distance from female comrades.”
Gu Beichen’s unwavering rejection left Lin Ranran utterly humiliated. It’s said that she’s still relentlessly pursuing Gu Beichen, and even now that she’s an old maid, she still refuses to get married.
Has Gu Beichen already gotten divorced? Is he no longer a married man? And he even took the initiative to shake hands with Comrade Gu?!
Countless thoughts flashed through Platoon Leader Zhan’s mind, almost overwhelming him.
Lin Su looked at Gu Beichen’s outstretched hand, her eyes struggled for a moment, but she still reached out and gently shook it before trying to pull her hand back.
But Gu Beichen completely enveloped Lin Su’s hand, which shocked Platoon Leader Zhan. He was horrified. Commander Gu was clearly being a scoundrel!
Should I intervene, or gouge out my own eyes? He quickly looked up at the sky, pretending to study the thickness of the clouds and whether it was going to rain.
I wish I could be invisible!
Gu Beichen gripped Lin Su’s hand tightly again, his heart pounding. He saw the spot he wanted to see; the red mole on her thumb was still there.
He was absolutely certain that the person in front of him was Lin Su.
On the fleshiest part of Lin Su’s thumb is a red mole, which used to be his favorite spot to kiss.
Gu Beichen quickly frowned. Lin Su used to be very gentle with her hands. Even when she was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, she would wear gloves to take care of them.
Why do my hands have so many calluses now?
Gu Beichen was about to describe it in detail, but Lin Su had already turned cold and forcefully pulled her hand back. Not only that, she also took out a handkerchief and wiped it.
Lin Su’s action made Platoon Leader Zhan gasp, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
He looked down in a panic, staring intently at the tips of his shoes, as if trying to see flowers blooming from them.
He inwardly groaned: “Oh no, oh no! I’ve witnessed my superior lose face like this. Will I be sent back to feed the pigs?”
He glanced furtively at Commander Gu’s expression and quickly tried to smooth things over: “Commander Gu, Commander Gu, we’ll board the plane right now!”
Upon hearing that he was about to board the plane, Gu Beichen’s professionalism immediately pulled him out of his thoughts.
He calmly gave the order: “Platoon Leader Zhan, call another comrade to come with me to escort Comrade Lin and Comrade Gu. The rest of you, take all these people back for interrogation.”
There were two people who ambushed them; one was lying on the ground, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive, while the other was half-dead.
Even if a person is dead, they still have value; they must be brought back to the military region for interrogation.
Platoon Leader Zhan stood at attention and saluted: “Yes, sir!”
Soon, Platoon Leader Zhan came over with another person. Platoon Leader Zhan took the box for Lin Su first, and then quickly walked into the cabin.
We can’t let Commander Gu carry the box; otherwise, we might get thrown out by him, which would be troublesome.
As soon as they entered the cabin, before they could even settle in, the plane started moving.
Gu Beichen was afraid that Lin Su would lose her balance, so he stood protectively by her side.
Lin Su, who used to walk without any bones, was carrying a cloth bag on her back this time, walking steadily without giving him any chance to help her.
Unlike before, when she would take a few steps and then sneak into his arms, especially at home.
As soon as Lin Su sat down, she took the box and put it away. She then took out a book from the cloth bag and began to read, occasionally jotting down a few notes.
Gu Beichen asked Platoon Leader Zhan to sit with the captain and arranged for another comrade to inspect the plane.
This plane was a supply plane, carrying a lot of supplies. He cautiously asked his comrades to check it, actually wanting to make room to chat with Lin Su.
Gu Beichen, having arranged everything, sat down next to Lin Su, his voice hoarse: “Su Su…”
Lin Su looked up and met Gu Beichen’s gaze, her eyes still devoid of warmth: “Commander Gu, please call me Comrade Gu!”
Gu Beichen’s heart sank, and all his words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
So the two people who were once inseparable, now sharing the same space, never spoke a word to each other again.
The only sound in the cabin was the roar of the engine, much like the chaotic noise in Gu Beichen’s mind.
Just then, something slipped from the pages of the book Lin Su was reading and floated to Gu Beichen’s feet.
He instinctively bent down and picked it up.
It was a child’s drawing, featuring a long-haired woman and a tiny figure; the drawing was clearly very childish.
Gu Beichen held the thin piece of paper, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning; his blood seemed to freeze in that instant.
Because he saw that below the drawing, the word ‘Mom’ was written crookedly. child?
Did she have a child with someone else?
No, impossible! Gu Beichen’s hands began to tremble violently, and his heart felt like it was suffocating!
He didn’t want to believe it, he didn’t want to believe that Lin Su would marry someone else and have a child with someone else.
He thought of the thick calluses on Lin Su’s hands, of her complete silence since the beginning of the year, of her current coldness, and of the madness of their last night.
It seems they got too carried away that night and didn’t use protection. Could Su Su be pregnant?!
Sweat beaded on Gu Beichen’s forehead. How difficult would it be for Su Su to get pregnant and give birth alone?!
He clutched the graffiti tightly, as if grasping the thread of fate that had broken years ago.
This time, no matter what the truth is, he will never let go, even if it means death.
Lin Su realized she had dropped something. When she saw the graffiti that Gu Beichen was clutching tightly, a crack finally appeared on her icy face.
