Chapter 184 - 0184 Meeting with the Leader 4_1
Just as General Ye and Lu Jiang described, he was valiant and majestic, with a particularly loud voice, "Xiaofeng, don’t hold back, leave the fruit for Lu Jiang to eat. He deserves some replenishment! He has suffered greatly this time."
Lu Jiang replied seriously, "General, please don’t say such things. Compared with the comrades who fell here, I am already a hundred times luckier."
Upon this topic, everyone’s faces darkened with profound sorrow.
For one to succeed on the battlefield, countless must perish. The status and glory of the commander are exchanged for the life and death of the soldiers below him. No commander is willing to see their troops unable to return home.
How could Feng Qingxue be oblivious to their emotions? She too felt the grief for the fallen soldiers. But they were here to visit the sick. Quickly, she handed a cucumber and an apple, "Please, don’t hold back. If he wants more, I will go out and buy it. How can we let you all just drink water? That’s not our way of hospitality." She put the remaining two cucumbers directly on the bedside table.
With her distraction, the atmosphere in the ward immediately improved, and no one brought up the heartbreaking topic again.
General Ye was quite untamed, finishing an apple in a few bites, but frowned while eating the cucumber, "Honestly, I don’t like cucumbers. Apples with their sour and sweet taste have some flavor, cucumbers, are completely tasteless."
