She called Qin Jian and asked, “Have you received any more maple leaves since you arrived here?”
“I have,” he replied.
“Where?” she pressed.
“In the drawer by the bedside,” Qin Jian answered, “What are you suddenly looking for these for?”
“I’ve made an important discovery!” An Hao, suppressing the anger inside her, told Qin Jian, “Co back!
I have sothing to tell you!”
An Hao laid out all the maple leaves together, noting how similar they were in size, vein patterns, and shape.
She had previously noticed that the maple leaves sent by Cheng Yu were all roughly the sa size and shape, presumably carefully selected.
An Hao realized that when she ate, she would deliberately place her chopsticks neatly, and when six dishes were served on the table, they were also neatly arranged in three rows; she had found it sowhat surprising at the ti.
Now she understood that Cheng Yu must also have so mild obsessive-compulsive disorder!
She never thought that she would beco love rivals with such a woman — it was unbelievable!
When Qin Jian received An Hao’s call, he hurried back, and the first thing he said to An Hao upon opening the door was, “Don’t get any closer to that woman, Cheng Yu!”
An Hao had ant to ask Qin Jian about sothing else, but before she could speak, she was taken aback by his words: “What do you an by that?
What are you trying to say?”
“Cheng Yu’s approach toward you is not well-intentioned!” Qin Jian slowly said, “You’re nothing more than a stepping stone for her to get to .”
An Hao was even more astonished: “How could you see through her?
Are her intentions so obvious that you saw them after just two etings, yet I haven’t noticed after several encounters?
Have I beco so stupid?”
“Of course, you wouldn’t notice.
Because I already knew about her feelings,” Qin Jian stated.
“You’ve always known?” An Hao’s eyebrows knitted, anger welling up in her eyes, “Why didn’t you tell earlier?”
“Don’t be angry.
Let explain,” Qin Jian said as he pulled An Hao to sit down, “I started to realize it while she was telling her story.
The company commander she ntioned in her story is .
Sothing like that did happen on the battlefield a long ti ago, which I had long forgotten.
It all ca back to when she ntioned it.”
“You’re right.
Who would keep in mind every day who they’d saved?
It should be the person who was saved that rembers this.” An Hao’s anger subsided sowhat, and she continued to question, “How did you know she wanted to get close to you, then?”
After the war ended, he returned to his country.
One day, unexpectedly, his superior approached him, saying soone wanted to et him and inford him that he was in for so good fortune: the girl he had saved on the battlefield had taken a liking to him and wanted to et him.
A eting was scheduled, but the other party didn’t show up.
Later, he found out that the female soldier wouldn’t be coming because she fell severely ill, but Qin Jian didn’t know what kind of illness it was.
Afterward, there was no further news from her.
Today, Cheng Yu told him about her past, which made Qin Jian vaguely rember that he had indeed saved a dic on the battlefield.
But he had never asked who it was before nor inquired about it, until her reminder today made him realize that Cheng Yu was that person who had kept him in her thoughts.
Qin Jian already had a family and An Hao; Cheng Yu’s appearance was a trouble.
Rather than telling her that he was the company commander who saved her back then, it was better to pretend he didn’t know.
