Chapter 6

In the end, Song Chenchen could not escape the “benefits” from the Political Department.

Three days later, Ou Mobei returned from his mission.

Under the “forced” request of the Political Department, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.

In this way, the two became a legal couple.

Afterwards, during Song Chenchen’s academic exchange time in the agency, Ou Mobei seemed like a different person.

He rarely met or communicated with Song Chenchen.

Even if there is, it is because of the details in Ou Zinan’s life.

Song Chenchen returned to the office and passed by the duty room when the sentry called her.

“Doctor Song, you have an expedited package. Please sign for it.”

“Thank you, Xiao Liu! Is it time to be discharged this year?”

“Um…I want to stay on the team, Doctor Song.

Because my family is poor, my allowance is at least enough to support my younger siblings’ education.”

Song Chenchen thought so too. Nowadays, a soldier’s allowance can still allow a rural family to have enough food and clothing for a month.

“Then you should perform well and try to stay in the team.

If the company needs my advice later, I will definitely stand by your side. Come on!

The young soldier nodded happily when he heard Song Chenchen’s encouragement.

As he spoke, Song Chenchen opened the package that he had signed for.

It was a can of star candy. This time there was no candy wrapper boat sent with it, only a note with a message.

“We haven’t seen each other for seven years. Can we meet?”

At this moment, Song Chenchen’s heartbeat accelerated!

Had she waited for this day after all?

The military district has established a new kindergarten, and all children of military personnel can enroll there by providing normal procedures.

Therefore, Ou Zinan was sent to a full-time kindergarten in the military district and could only go home on weekends.

Yesterday, after Ou Mobei and her sent Nan Nan to kindergarten, he left after saying a few words.

“I have a mission and won’t be home for the next two days.”

Hey, what’s this? He was forced to get married, so now he looks like a victim.

Who are you trying to show me your sour face all day long?

Even in the few moments of their sexual life together, Ou Mobei showed no mercy to his wife.

It is always done with the lights off.

Song Chenchen felt Ou Mobei’s full possessiveness.

Afterwards, even though the feeling of humiliation occupied Song Chenchen’s entire heart, Ou Mobei seemed not to care.

He was completely different from the Ou Mobei who had just returned from the battlefield exhausted and spoke cheesy love words to her.

Thinking of this, Song Chenchen’s excitement at seeing the Star Candy Jar suddenly plummeted.

Once you miss it, you miss it after all.

Now I am a married woman and nothing.

This first meeting will probably be the last.

At this moment, she took a deep breath, feeling a little heavy.

There seemed to be tears welling up in his eyes.

She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the sugar bowl.

It’s been seven years, let’s meet.

Reason told her that due to her military profession and moral bottom line, she could not invest too much fantasy in this illusory relationship that had not yet begun.

At least, from the moment I got the marriage certificate with Ou Mobei, there shouldn’t be any more.

Song Chenchen calmed down and packed all the candy paper boats.

After dinner, military songs were played loudly in the military compound. Some officers and soldiers of the company were exercising on the playground, while others were taking a walk in groups of three or five.

“Hey, have you heard? Our bomb disposal hero Gu Haiyang is back.”

“Didn’t he die five years ago?”

“No, I heard he was seriously injured during a mission and just returned to the team recently.”

“Wow, considering his achievements when he returns to the team this time, shouldn’t he be given at least a full colonel rank?”

“Yes, the entire army was informed yesterday.

Our Captain Ou will have a competitor from now on.”

Is it him? He is her husband’s rival.

When Song Chenchen heard the female soldiers’ discussions, he had some guesses in his mind.

Song Chenchen, you think too much.

How did he send himself star candies during the five years when he was seriously injured?

Song Chenchen, holding an A4-sized cardboard box, walked straight towards the large banyan tree behind the office building…

As she slowly approached the banyan tree, Song Chenchen saw from a distance a man about 1.85 meters tall, with a build similar to Ou Mobei, wearing camouflage clothes, with his back to her.

In a trance, she once thought that the man was Ou Mobei.

“Hello, comrade, I’m Song Chenchen from the Military District Hospital.”

The man turned around when he heard Song Chenchen’s footsteps and extended his hand to shake her hand.

“Hello, I’m Gu Haiyang!

Comrade Song Chenchen, I’m back!”

Oh my god, at this moment, Song Chenchen’s heart seemed to skip a beat.

Is it really him? The candy man I’ve been thinking about for seven years.

“Hello, Comrade Song Chenchen!”

Gu Haiyang spoke again.

“Hello, Comrade Gu… Comrade Gu Haiyang.”

Song Chenchen was a little flustered. She was holding a cardboard box in her hand, so she hurriedly freed one hand to shake hands with him.

Just like that, the A4 carton accidentally fell to the ground.

The lid of the cardboard box was opened and the candy wrapper boats inside scattered out.

“Hey… I’m so sorry.”

Seeing this, Song Chenchen’s cheeks turned red instantly.

She quickly squatted down to pick up the candy wrapper boats.

“I…I’ll help you!”

Gu Haiyang reached out to help Song Chenchen pick up the things.

One by one, the candy wrapper boats were picked up.

Gu Haiyang flipped open one of them.

All I saw was the coordinates written on it: “30°15′27″, sunny.”

He was very familiar with this handwriting.

Could it be him?

Open another one, and it still has the coordinates and a few words.

“Some, but some are not written.”

Gu Haiyang asked inconspicuously, secretly observing the changes in Song Chenchen’s facial expression.

Song Chenchen hesitated for a moment and didn’t speculate too much about Gu Haiyang’s question.

“The ones with words on them are the ones you folded, and the ones without words on them are naturally the ones I folded.”

After listening to Song Chenchen’s words, Gu Haiyang seemed to have the answer in his mind.

Watching Song Chenchen pick up the last candy wrapper boat and stand up.

She stuffed the box into Gu Haiyang’s hands, looking a little depressed.

“You have indeed sent me a lot of candy over the years. Please don’t send me any more in the future.”

Before Gu Haiyang could figure out the problem, he heard what Song Chenchen said and asked hurriedly:

“Why? I came to you the first thing I did when I returned to the team. Five years ago, I had no choice. I can explain…”

“No reason. I’m married now, so it’s not appropriate for me to accept things from others.”

When their eyes met, Song Chenchen felt a little sad.

She just felt that fate and the Political Department were playing a huge joke on her.

“So what? You know what I’m talking about, Comrade Song Chenchen.”

From his words, it seemed that Gu Haiyang had already thought it through and didn’t care at all about what had happened.

However, his “confession” seemed pale and powerless compared to Ou Mobei’s previous cheesy love words.

Song Chenchen unconsciously began to compare the two of them in his mind.

“Comrade Gu Haiyang, today is the first and last time we meet.

I’m returning these to you. Don’t send me candy anymore. My husband will be unhappy if he sees it.”

There was silence between the two for a few seconds.

“Is he good to you?” Gu Haiyang asked softly.

“He’s…fine!”

“real?”

Gu Haiyang seemed to see through Song Chenchen’s heart.

Song Chenchen didn’t want to say anything more, so he turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Gu Haiyang grabbed her wrist.

“I can see that you don’t love him.”

Gu Haiyang stepped forward and stood in front of Song Chenchen.

“Your eyes tell me, you can’t deceive me.”

“Comrade Gu Haiyang, whether you love him or not, he is my husband.

This is our first meeting, and it’s inappropriate to talk about these things. Goodbye!

Song Chenchen walked around Gu Haiyang. At this moment, she just wanted to completely get rid of the past, otherwise she would be doomed.

Gu Haiyang looked at the cardboard box filled with candy wrappers and small boats, and he already knew what had happened in the past five years…
