Ji Huzi looked at Ye Huan in surprise, Ye Huan pressed her lips together and nodded apologetically at him.
"Back when he was in Liao Ning, he did have a verbal agreent with , Camp Chief Ji, I’m sorry, I..."
"Oh, since that’s the case, you don’t have to apologize. Well, here’s sothing your brother asked to bring you, I’ll just leave it here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first."
"Camp Chief Ji, let see you out." Ye Huan opened her mouth to send him off, but Tong Zhan turned to her and said, "No need, I’ll see him out, you wait here."
Watching the two n, both equally tall, walk away, Ye Huan felt her head buzzing, and the dean couldn’t help but laugh.
"So the person you ntioned to back then was Tong Zhan?"
Ye Huan nodded, "I didn’t know that Camp Chief Ji, he..."
"It’s understandable, you’re so outstanding, anyone with an eye wouldn’t miss out, he just had bad luck, coinciding with the day Tong Zhan ca."
Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, "He ca already?"
"Yeah, he ca early in the morning, but when he heard you were at work, he didn’t dare disturb you. He planned to wait until you finished work to take you out for dinner, but when he heard people gossiping about you two in the hallway, he couldn’t sit still and hurried over to ."
Ye Huan’s mouth twitched, it seed like the style of that person.
She didn’t say no outright, and although she was relieved, facing the items brought over from thousands of miles by her lifesaver, she still felt a tinge of reluctance.
On the other side—
Tong Zhan and Ji Huzi walked to the hospital entrance in silence, where they stopped, and Tong Zhan extended his hand voluntarily: "Thank you for saving her."
Ji Huzi pressed his lips, unwilling to give up, and looked up: "How did you two et?"
"To be precise, I knew her when she was in college in Chongqing, t again at a hospital in Liao Ning where she took care of ticulously for three months. After my discharge, our troop moved far from Dandong, but when I was in the hospital, I had already told her I intended to marry her, so ultimately, you were a step too late!"
"What can you give her?" Facing Ji Huzi’s question, Tong Zhan smiled, "What I can give her, you cannot, for example, my rank is higher than yours, I’ve been to military school, and although I can’t be a scholar, at least I’m literate. What about you? Besides the position of Camp Chief, what else do you have?"
Ji Huzi was illiterate. Although he had attended literacy classes, he must admit his literacy level was vastly different from Tong Zhan’s.
Besides, undeniably, having a higher rank ans being able to provide her a better life, not to ntion entering a special operations brigade is difficult, and for him to beco a brigade commander of a special operations brigade, he must have exceptional abilities.
Ji Huzi nodded, leaving behind a sentence: "Treat her well, and I wish you both happiness." He left gracefully.
Even though this trip didn’t bring back a wife, at least he knew what kind of man she was marrying, soone he couldn’t compare to, leaving him convinced and at peace.
When Tong Zhan was in the dean’s office, he had already told him.
"In the past few months, many people have inquired about Ye Huan, so with a higher rank than you, but Ye Huan said she had a partner, so I declined on her behalf."
Tong Zhan was very gratified that the girl still rembered their promise. Before coming here, he had been nervous, after all, she never expressed whether the promise held. Now it seems she truly cherished it.
He was very satisfied with his performance, so when he returned and saw her sitting alone in the restaurant, his eyebrows and eyes were all smiles.
"I ca to confirm our relationship, and now that it’s settled, we only have the work issue left. Although our brigade has a field hospital, its scale is smaller than here, it’s just closer to . Do you want to stay here or transfer to the field hospital? If you work here, it might be inconvenient to et after we’re married. If you co with , we have a family compound over there."
Are we facing such a practical issue so soon?
In truth, Ye Huan didn’t want to leave this hospital, the larger the hospital, the better the training opportunities. The field hospital might be closer to him, but in terms of developnt, it obviously can’t compare to staying here, and besides, she just stabilized her position here.
"If you want to stay, it’s okay, I respect your choice, after all, you’re a military doctor. However, you’ll need to find ti to visit our troop and marry , shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Ye Huan looked up at him, "Are you so confident I’d say yes to you? Wait for you?"
"Of course, if I didn’t have that confidence, how else would I have so quickly gotten rid of a strong contender?"
Ye Huan was speechless, "Marriage requires a report and application!"
"Don’t worry, you take care of the procedures, my side has applied for housing, and it’s being painted right now, as our procedures go through, the house should be ready too. Afterward, I’ll send you to work, and pick you up when you’re off. Is that satisfactory, Madam?"
Ye Huan snorted lightly, "Before marriage, I have a few questions for you, you need to clarify them for ."
"Sure, ask whatever you want, I’ll tell you everything as long as it doesn’t involve classified information."
"Your biological parents and your adopted parents’ identities, please tell about them. Although they’re no longer alive, I still want to understand,"
"That’s simple, my dad was a cobbler in Beiping City, my mom was a nanny for a wealthy family, later ran away with soone leaving and my dad, I’ve never seen her over the years. Liu ng was my old na, Tong Zhan is what my adoptive parents nad . They were fishern on the banks of Chongqing. My dad died from illness in ’42, my mom got killed by stray bullets while delivering goods. They had two other children, taken back by grandparents; I haven’t seen them since."
