"Pfft!" As Luo Chao opened his mouth to sing, Ning Wanxi obediently drank. However, upon hearing his loud singing, she spat out a mouthful of soup, both annoyed and amused, saying, "How can you sing the national anthem to brush off? That doesn't count!"
Luo Chao was embarrassed, racking his brains for a mont before pulling up his loud yet indescribably raspy voice: "We who are soldiers, what's different, it's because we all wear simple uniforms, we soldiers, what's different, ever since leaving ho, it's hard to see our parents, saying it's different is actually the sa, it's all youthful years, all passionate young n, saying it's different is actually the sa, the sa footprints, left for the mountains and rivers to hold—"
This song was the one Luo Chao sang the most in the army, and every ti he sang it, it would always evoke many beautiful mories: comrades waking up on ti every morning, singing this "We Who Are Soldiers" together, laughing as they brushed their teeth and washed their faces, then began a day of training. No matter how tiring or bitter it was, with the company of brothers, every day was so beautiful.
Yet countless comrades went to the battlefield and never returned, one by one. Luo Chao had beco sowhat numb, numb to the point of not knowing the taste of pain—
This song, Ning Wanxi did not stop him. Even though Luo Chao's singing was out of tune, the cracked and croaking voice was as unpleasant as a frog's croak, yet within that voice, there was an indescribable sense of sorrow.
And at this mont, Luo Chao finally revealed his flaw—a major shortcoming. He sang like he was killing a chicken. But Ning Wanxi was sowhat entranced by it, her heart trembled, as if she saw soldiers standing in neat ranks, singing military songs heroically and magnificently!
Although Luo Chao's singing voice was not pleasant, it was infused with his genuine emotions, with a very strong infectious power. Even Ning Wanxi seed to be imrsed in the boldness and joy of the military camp. Or perhaps it was because as Luo Chao continued to sing, his voice beca increasingly hoarse, and his eyes started to bloodshot. Listening to this, Ning Wanxi also felt a sense of lancholy, a strong sense of despondency washed over her heart, lingering for a long ti.
Unconsciously, Ning Wanxi actually finished all the corn and pork rib soup. When she snapped back to reality, she discovered that she had turned into a foodie, her face flushed as she took a napkin from her bag and gently wiped her mouth to cover her embarrassnt.
"It was really awful," Ning Wanxi pouted and whispered.
Luo Chao scratched his head: "Boss Ning, I know I sing badly, but you don't have to hurt my fragile feelings like this, do you?"
Ning Wanxi softly humd but didn't say anything further.
Then Luo Chao, with a bit of a strange expression, said, "Boss Ning, why are you suddenly being so nice to ? It's really making a bit overwheld. Let cautiously ask, you didn't catch a fever today, did you?"
"Go to hell!" Ning Wanxi glared at him in embarrassnt and annoyance, her face blushing as she said, "You always say I don't fulfill my duties as a wife, so today I'm going to show you how good your wife is!"
Luo Chao was dumbfounded, feeling a bit at a loss. Ning Wanxi had truly changed, changed so much that he barely recognized her, yet Boss Ning was indeed sitting right next to him, not a dream at all!
Since Ning Wanxi was a child, her father had told her she already had a fiancé. When she was young, she didn't understand and didn't think much of it. But as she grew older, the words "fiancé" always weighed on her heart like a mountain, and it grew heavier with ti. Because of her father's stern warnings and constant reminders, Ning Wanxi didn't dare to associate with any boys at school. To those who tried to approach her, she always responded with a cold attitude, never softening her deanor. Initially, it was because she couldn't bear to make her father sad due to his stern yet kind gaze. Later, it beca a habitual mindset, or even a pathological one. When faced with any man, she would shut them out with an icy deanor. Ning Wanxi even rembered the many nicknas she had been given, but none escaped categories like "cold beauty," "frost woman," or "lesbian." Over ti, she got used to eting people with this facade.
In her youthful years, like any other girl, Ning Wanxi was full of romantic fantasies. She often dread that her fiancé was a tall, handso, graceful, and courteous man. He would one day, like a romantic prince in a fairytale, co riding a white horse to take her as his bride. At that ti, Ning Wanxi even pitied other girls, for they didn't have a perfect fiancé like she did. She even thought that marrying without eting was a romantic fate.
But when Ning Wanxi reached the age to discuss marriage, her fiancé still hadn't appeared, and she didn't even know his na. Everything seed so inexplicable!
So even when Luo Chao showed up, Ning Wanxi's heart was still filled with resentnt.
"Boss Ning, if you had treated this well from the start, maybe I would have fallen for you already," Luo Chao joked.
However, when Ning Wanxi heard this, her pretty face instantly turned cold: "Luo Chao, I hope you don't fall in love with , or you'll regret it."
"Why?" Luo Chao asked in astonishnt, unable to understand why Boss Ning suddenly said such a thing.
Ning Wanxi replied coldly, "Do you rember what I told you under the ruins?"
"What did you say?" Luo Chao couldn't quite recall.
Ning Wanxi said, "I still have many things I haven't had the chance to tell you."
Luo Chao paused, then forced a smile: "I'm quite curious, what exactly do you have to tell ? Why not tell now?"
Ning Wanxi clenched her pink fists, her eyes welling up with resentnt again: "I will tell you sooner or later, but not now." After saying this, Ning Wanxi walked over to a nearby hospital bed and lay down, then turned off the lights: "It's late, let's sleep."
This hospital room was quite nice, with a bed for an attendant; otherwise, Ning Wanxi really wouldn't know where to sleep.
Even with the lights out, Ning Wanxi and Luo Chao couldn't sleep. Luo Chao was kept awake by Ning Wanxi's earlier words, never truly understanding what secret Boss Ning was hiding.
Looking at her resentnt, he felt like he had assaulted her, heaven knows, they had never even t before. Besides, she had her condition; he couldn't touch her. Even if he took Black Widow, he would never make inappropriate moves on a woman who was unwilling. Luo Chao thought to himself, feeling that this girl had been a bit irrational just now.
