50: Chapter 50: Classmate_1 50: Chapter 50: Classmate_1 Speaking of this, Tan Heqian laughed a few times in a secretive manner.
It was a laughter filled with a hint of joy.
“Once I joined the army, I would be busy most of the time.
I understand my mother’s worry.
My elder brother had a good friend whose family were also in the military.
The parents were too busy to take care of the child.
Consequently, his little sister got lost and never found because no one was around to look after her.
There is still a family photo of me, my elder brother, his friend, and his sister in our house!
She was a fair-skinned, chubby little girl, really adorable.”
“Was the little girl ever found?” He Zhilan asked.
After that, my family moved, and my brother transferred to another school.
In the beginning, he was still in touch with his friend, but contact was somehow lost after a while.
Everyone said it was difficult to find her, and as time passed, before the family found the child, they moved away.
Perhaps because of this, my brother lost contact with his friend.” Tan Heqian shrugged, “The reason I want to go to military school is that I once saw a soldier at my brother’s friend’s house.
He wore military green uniforms and looked so handsome!
You wouldn’t know, when I was young, I admired him more than I did Ultraman!”
“I also admire soldiers; my husband is a soldier.” He Zhilan picked up the conversation.
“Really?” Tan Heqian was excited to find someone who admired soldiers like he did.
But then, when he came back to his senses, he looked dumbfounded.
“He Zhilan, what did you just say?
Your husband is a soldier?
“Yes, I got married during the summer vacation after graduating from high school.
I’ve been married for almost two months now.” He Zhilan thought Tan Heqian’s reaction was funny.
At first, she assumed he took it as a common thing since he showed no reaction, but it turned out he still hadn’t processed the information.
It seemed Tan Heqian was a bit slow on the uptake.
“You’re only eighteen, how could you be married already?” Tan Heqian struggled to accept the fact.
The first female friend he met at university was married?
He couldn’t believe it.
No matter how Tan Heqian looked at He Zhilan, she seemed like a delicate and charming girl who would be cherished and carefully protected by her family.
He understood that it was normal for girls to be married at eighteen, but this usually happened in rural areas where families could not afford to raise daughters.
Only in rural areas where many children were born and families couldn’t Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
But looking at He Zhilan, who had fair and clean skin, even the skin of her hands was particularly tender, there was no sign of her being involved in hard labor typical of rural life.
How could she get married as soon as she turned eighteen?
Of course, Tan Heqian couldn’t deny that when he first met He Zhilan, he felt a little flutter in his heart, where even a slight notion was formed.
It was rare for him to meet a girl who he could have fun chatting with, a fellow student from Capital University to boot.
She was beautiful and seemed to have a good personality, if he were to bring such a girl home as his wife, his parents would certainly be over the moon, right?
But ironically, the girl who seemed perfect to be brought home as his own, had turned out to be someone else’s wife.
