Chapter 830 A Gift with Ulterior Motives
Cheng Yu glanced at Qin Jian, shook her head with difficulty, and lied against her heart, "No! My love lies with another."
"Ms. Cheng, you’re so pitiable!" An Hao felt that fate was so unjust, to have tormented such a gentle person as Ms. Cheng into this state.
"I don’t think I’m pitiable." Cheng Yu’s tears fell as she wore a beautifully tragic smile, "In my whole life, I have never felt there was anything I couldn’t let go of. Only two things. First, I wanted to meet the company commander who was willing to give up his life to save mine. Second, I hope to be with the one I love forever, although that’s just a dream."
"Ms. Cheng, sometimes one shouldn’t be too obsessed with something." The silent Qin Jian, who had been listening to the story all along, finally spoke, "On the battlefield, there are many such warriors who would sacrifice their lives for their comrades! They also do not want anything in return! I think if that company commander knew, he definitely wouldn’t want you to keep dwelling on this. Perhaps he just reacted instinctively to save you, he didn’t ask for anything in return!"
"How do you know his mindset so clearly?" Cheng Yu pressed.
"Because I’ve been to the battlefield, too, and someone saved me! That’s what my comrade told me." After saying this, Qin Jian changed the subject, "Ms. Cheng, the topic of war is too heavy! Let’s try not to talk about it anymore. We live in a time of peace, we should think more about the good things."
"Exactly," An Hao agreed.
Cheng Yu was unsure of what Qin Jian meant by his words, but she felt she had said enough for the day and it was time to stop.
So, with a hint of tears, she said, "You’re right! Well then, the food has gotten cold, let’s eat quickly. It’s all my fault for bringing that up."
