Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Marriage Report Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Marriage Report One month later.
After the troop rotation, An Zhiyuan and his rades had descended from the high ground. They were reorganized and assigned to local posts, both he and Bai Xiao to places in Yun Province.
An Zhiyuan became a squadron leader in Yun Province, and Bai Xiao worked at a local hospital there.
A train carried them away.
The place they left behind, filled with their turbulent and bloody experiences, became a distant memory.
“What? An Zhiyuan isn’t ing back?” An Cheng hadn’t expected his son not to return.
An Cheng knew all about An Zhiyuan’s outstanding achievements, and he felt happy for his son’s excellence. A man like him should experience the baptism of gunfire to bee a true warrior, and such a son greatly exceeded his expectations.
He had thought that An Zhiyuan’s decision to stay was just a moment of impetuosity, a desire to show off his courage as a hero and a man.
But it never occurred to him that his son would perform so well and be so exemplary, that his decorations for bravery came with dangers clear in his own heart.
Two men against forty was virtually an impossible task.
The deeds of defusing mines alone, now a celebrated tale across all the camps, and the wedding before battle that everyone talked about with relish…
He had thought that after such bloody trials, his child would cherish the opportunity to return to the Capital City now.
Yet, unexpectedly, his son plunged headfirst into that place.
A bitterness welled up in him; his child, his own son, had grown up and needed no more protection from him.
He sighed, “If he wants to train in the local area, let him stay there.”
He didn’t want any more conflict with his son over this.
To have faced life and death, if he as a father were to trip up his own son, then it would all be so pointless.
Since he had chosen this girl, and she was brave enough to stand by him through life and death, unwavering, what more could he say as a father.
An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao reported to their new posts.
The Chief, knowing of the relationship between An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao, had arranged for them to be in the same unit and, of course, the same place. He wouldn’t want to be seen as the villain trying to split a couple by sending them thousands of miles apart.
An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao were both very happy; at least they were together this time.
After reporting in, they would have a month’s leave.
This special treatment was afforded to them as they had just rotated off the front lines, allowing them the chance to go home and visit their families.
An Zhiyuan immediately took Bai Xiao to get their marriage certificate.
The two of them officially became husband and wife. Of course, they didn’t have time for a wedding ceremony, and they boarded the train home.
Bai Xiao was still in a whirlwind when she suddenly became the wife of a squadron leader.
Sitting on the train, it dawned on her that this train was headed to the Capital City! According to An Zhiyuan, the “ugly bride” must meet the in-laws eventually.
But the most important reason for their journey was to attend a reception by the leadership; as heroes and contributors to the cause, they were summoned back to the Capital City.
It was conveniently on the way.
“Big brother An, I’m a little worried,” Bai Xiao said.
She hadn’t forgotten the way Wei Shufen had tried to trip her up, asking her to call Wei Shufen ‘Mother’ was something she couldn’t bring herself to do, let alone reconcile with her. She had even thought about payback against Wei Shufen for everything she had done.
Her university studies had been disrupted because of Wei Shufen.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, she would have already pleted a year of university by now. Instead, she was arriving at a new hospital, uncertain of what the Dean thought of her. The possibility of attending university was still in question, and her dream seemed further away than ever.
It was enough to make her grind her teeth in frustration.
