The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
"Hey, can you help me get my clothes?" Finally, after a full five minutes, Sui Feng broke the silence.
"Oh, sure." Su Chen walked to the sofa and fetched Sui Feng's clothes.
Then he voluntarily turned around.
Sui Feng glanced at Su Chen.
She found Su Chen already turned his back to her.
A faint smile appeared on her face.
From the first time meeting Su Chen, forcing him to serve the country, then experiencing Su Chen's betrayal, and later being rescued by him from the farm, and then...
Her impression of Su Chen kept changing.
Sui Feng finished dressing and poked Su Chen's back with her finger.
"Oh, okay." Su Chen turned around.
Sui Feng wore a rose-colored dress.
She no longer had the aura of a female soldier, looking just like the girl next door.
She stood barefoot on the floor.
Yet she didn't appear short at all.
Her long hair was tied up, resembling a noble lady.
Her eyes, as black as the starry sky.
Su Chen was a bit entranced by her beauty.
"How is it? Didn't expect me to be quite girly, huh?" Sui Feng saw Su Chen in a daze and couldn't help but giggle.
"Yes, quite girly." Su Chen nodded earnestly.
At this moment, Sui Feng's face bloomed with a smile.
The iron-willed Female Soldier King had vanished.
All that was left was the delightful face of a young girl.
Such a beautiful woman.
Actually, if she played coy and acted cute, she could live a carefree and luxurious life.
Yet she chose this path.
A path filled with blood and fire.
A path... with no end.
A path of sacrificing the self for the greater good.
Compared to those women who sought an easy life with wealthy men.
She was even more beautiful than an Angel.
Those not-so-broad shoulders bore the weight of the country.
This peerless beauty, this enchanting body, could one day be ruthlessly torn by bullets.
Or blown to pieces by bombs.
But she was fearless, with neither complaints nor regrets!
This is a Huaxia female soldier!
Su Chen couldn't help but feel deep respect.
He suddenly gave Sui Feng a perfectly standard military salute.
Sui Feng was stunned by Su Chen's sudden gesture.
But soon, tears flowed down her cheeks.
Choosing this path surely meant it was the most dangerous and arduous one.
Along the way, from a rookie to a Special Soldier.
Sui Feng struggled immensely.
She gave up a life of comfort to place herself in the utmost danger.
Became a Special Soldier.
Special Soldiers, in the eyes of many, are synonymous with power and mystery.
But who knew the bitterness in their hearts.
Even if they gained many honors, they couldn't be publicly recognized.
Even if they were to sacrifice their lives one day, there would be no grand funeral.
At most, they would secretly be buried in the Hero's Tomb.
Their deeds are unknown to everyone.
Their glories remain undiscovered.
These are silent heroes. Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
But even those who do not seek fame and fortune.
And at this moment, Su Chen's salute.
Was a form of recognition for Sui Feng.
Salutes are given from subordinates to superiors, who return the salute.
However, this time, it was Su Chen saluting Sui Feng.
This is respect for unsung heroes.
Sui Feng slowly raised her palm and returned the salute to Su Chen.
Su Chen was the same, really.
Although Sui Feng didn't know Su Chen's true identity or which department he served.
But she was sure that Su Chen was another unsung hero like her.
The missions he undertook must be ten or a hundred times more difficult than hers.
A feeling of mutual understanding surged between them.
Many people do not understand, since they gain no honor nor benefits, and it's so dangerous.
Why choose to be a soldier?
The answer could be summarized with the lyrics of a song.
"With a nation, there is a home
If you don't stand guard, and I don't stand guard
Who will defend our country
Who will defend the home?"
Perhaps a life of comfort has made people forget the sufferings of history.
Back when Dongyin Country invaded Huaxia, massacring countless lives.
If it weren't for the sacrifice of those warriors who didn't even leave their names.
How could we have today's life?
Many think, only a fool would join the military.
It's exhausting, you earn little money, and after retiring, might only become a security guard in a rich neighborhood.
Ordered around by those they once risked their lives to protect.
But who knows, without those "fools," where would the nation be?
"I have to go." Sui Feng looked at Su Chen, saying flatly.
Actually, a lot of non-calmness was contained in that calmness.
Because her identity, Su Chen's identity, destined this to be an extremely high-risk profession.
This farewell might very well be the last!
"Take care." Su Chen revealed a smile.
That's the only thing he could say to Sui Feng.
However, since they put on the military uniform, they rush to wherever danger calls.
How could they speak of taking care?
"You too." Sui Feng gave a gentle smile, then turned and walked out the door.
Looking at that figure, not large, yet bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting the country, a wave of inexplicable emotion surged in Su Chen's heart.
"Sui Feng!" Finally, when Sui Feng was about to leave the room, Su Chen called out to her.
Upon hearing Su Chen's call, Sui Feng suddenly turned back and quickly walked to Su Chen, embracing him warmly.
Su Chen also gave Sui Feng a strong hug.
