Song Yao sighed. âI want to too. Back then, I even bought a ticket to the county, but because I saved a soldier on the way, I was delayed again. Then, I was nineteen years old. The villagers said that if I delayed any longer, I might become an old lady in the futureâ¦â
At the mention of this, Song Yaoâs face was filled with regret. She said to Zuo Huo, âThat soldierâs face was covered in blood! It looked like he carried out some dangerous mission. There were many wounds on his body.â
Hearing Song Yaoâs words, Zuo Huo frowned dangerously. âWhen did you save that soldier?â
Song Yao thought for a long time. âIt was the day before my college entrance examination. Oh right, it was June 7th!â
Zuo Huo frowned. âThen do you remember any characteristics on him?â
Song Yao did not know why Zuo Huo suddenly asked about the soldier. She could only repeatedly think about what happened that day and what kind of appearance the soldier she saved hadâ¦
âThere seems to be a mole at the corner of his eyeâ¦â Song Yao turned around and happened to meet Zuo Huoâs starry eyes. There was a mole at the manâs right eye!
Zuo Huo lifted his sleeve. âWas there also a crescent-shaped scar on his arm?â
âYes!â Song Yao cried. âThereâs something on him. That crescent-shaped scar was cut out by me with a knife. Could it be that you are?â
Zuo Huo wiped Song Yaoâs tears. âYao, so we knew each other back then?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Song Yaoâs eyes were red. âWhy did you leave without saying goodbye at that time?! Your injuries hadnât healed yet!â
Zuo Huo pulled Song Yao into his arms. âBecause thatâs the duty of a soldier!â
âThen⦠did it hurt at that time?â Song Yao asked. Zuo Huo smiled. âItâs been so long. How can I remember it so clearly?â
Song Yao wiped her tears. âTake off your clothes.â âWhat are you doing?â Zuo Huo was puzzled.
Song Yao cried, âI told you to take off your clothes!â
Zuo Huo could not dissuade Song Yao. His slender hands unbuttoned his shirt one by one.
Song Yao despised Zuo Huo for being too slow in unbuttoning his clothes. She helped him unbutton his shirt, revealing his firm muscles.
Song Yaoâs face turned red. Although she had seen Zuo Huoâs body a long time ago, it was when he was unconscious.
âTurn around.â
Zuo Huo obediently turned around. There were many dried scars on his broad back, and most of them looked like knife scars!
Song Yao couldnât help but cry.
This frightened Zuo Huo. He put on his clothes with one hand and hugged Song Yao. âWhy are you crying? Donât be afraid, Iâm here!â
Song Yaoâs eyes were red from crying. âZuo Huo, Iâll be with you every day from now on!â
Zuo Huo smiled. âI know you canât bear for me to leave, but before the college entrance examination at home, I have to work and you have to study. Itâs impossible to be together every day.â
When did this Zuo Huo like to argue with her so much?
Song Yao cried, âThen we must be together!â
âYes, I must be with you!â Zuo Huo looked like he was coaxing a child.
In the afternoon, Zuo Huo and Song Yao didnât have time to shop, so they rushed to the airport.
It was Song Yaoâs first time taking a plane, so she couldnât help but feel a little nervous.
Zuo Huo held her hand all the way until the plane landed in Beijing. It only took six hours.
After getting off the plane and looking at the western-style building in front of her, Song Yao felt that the capital seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
This place seemed to be bigger and more prosperous than Sangqiu City. Several new shopping malls were built near the airport. The tall buildings dazzled Song Yao. There was actually an entire market in the underground passage!
There were countless vendors selling things, and most of them said that they were imported goods. Song Yao was curious about where the goods were imported, but she was pulled away by Zuo Huo.
âHave you forgotten what happened to Yu Yong on the train? If you dare to buy what theyâre selling, you might even be caught!â
At the mention of this, Song Yao was caught between laughter and tears. âBut why did Yu Yong bring mercury on the train? I thought he was going out to work.â
Zuo Huo said, âNowadays, many people do smuggling for the sake of earning money. This is more common than you think. Otherwise, do you think Yu Yong can afford to raise Pang Jiao? Perhaps he already knew what was inside and was just pretending to be confused..â
