Bai Xiao, who rarely laughed, actually felt like laughing out loud.
An Zhiyuan had finally fully recovered, and although it took a long time, the effect was still quite good.
It didn’t cost her a bit of energy, just like An Zhiyuan’s special ability, healing his body effortlessly.
Looking at the healed man, embracing herself, his sturdy arms felt as familiar as the safe harbor she had rested in so many times.
The feeling of finally being able to breathe a sigh of relief was like champagne bubbling in the bloodstream, making one slightly dizzy with delight.
Her jubilant heart pounded against her chest, her ribs felt too tight, as if they were strangling her heart and lungs, almost suffocating her.
Holding An Zhiyuan tightly.
"You scared me to death!"
Her voice finally choked up, Bai Xiao’s strength over these many days finally crumbled; she couldn’t even dare to imagine, what if she hadn’t arrived in time, what if An Zhiyuan hadn’t waited for her arrival, what if she didn’t have a special ability! Then now, she would truly be a widow.
What would welcome her would be a coffin draped with the national flag.
God knows the immense fear a woman feels knowing her husband has been kidnapped; her not crying doesn’t represent her strength, but rather that there was no time to cry, no time for tears.
On a rainy October night, the drizzling rain fell, the wind and rain swayed outside, but it still remained warm like spring inside.
"I’m sorry," he said softly, "I couldn’t refuse such a duty, I’m sorry!" Other than sorry, he couldn’t say anything else, could he say that because of Bai Xiao he wouldn’t go on the mission?
That would be a lie, he is a military person, obeys orders, follows commands, his all is not his own, the mission above everything.
Even if given another chance, he would still accept the mission; he is definitely not a man who places his lover above everything, he loves her.
As long as it’s within his power, he can give everything for her, even his own life, but still, he can’t say that for Bai Xiao, he would give up his duty, such is the life of a military man.
"What’s the use of sorry!" she murmured, "If something had happened to you, I would be the only one suffering alone."
Her saying this, knowing already what kind of person An Zhiyuan is, she definitely cannot change his mind, nor can she change it.
Who made her choose such a man.
"Xiaoxiao, it won’t happen anymore, you see now, with my condition I can only slack off in the training squad, no one would believe someone with severe injuries could recover perfectly." He mocked himself, indeed the Chief had really talked to him, after his recovery, they planned to transfer him to a clerical position and he would leave the system - this was the arrangement of the superiors and a responsible action for him.
Even though he had already recovered completely, he would never say it, this was his protection and responsibility towards Bai Xiao.
She hugged him tightly, quickly clenched her fists, trying to feign an unmoved tone.
"So, can I go out now and set off fireworks to celebrate!"
He looked at her, his eyes twinkling with amusement, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, this appearance of his was simply bewitching.
He rarely let his guard down, put away his usually expressionless coldness, his strong charm made her tremble uncontrollably.
"Do you want me to find some for you? It seems we have some at home, but are you really sure you want to push your wheelchair-bound husband to set off fireworks, aren’t you afraid people will think you are crazy?" he smiled as he looked at her, his hand gently touching her hair.
Bai Xiao laughed heartily, collapsing into his arms.
