Chapter 56
The sun was setting in the west, and the orange sunlight slanted down the empty and deserted neighborhood.
In the quiet alleys and dilapidated buildings, the setting sun shines in through the slender windows, like a soft gauze hanging on the legs of Song Ran and Li Zan.
The two of them sat in a cool corner of the room with their backs against the wall.
Li Zan rested his head on Song Ran's shoulder, closed his eyes, and breathed evenly, as if he was asleep.
Song Ran unconsciously tilted her head in his direction, her cheek gently touching his soft hair.
Her eyes were red and she was in a daze.
Suddenly the palms of my hands felt warm. Li Zan held her hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."
He frowned with difficulty, hating himself for saying these three words again.
"No." Song Ran shook his head, "You are doing what you think is right. You want to save them."
¡°It¡¯s not just them,¡± he said.
She knew, but didn¡¯t answer, waiting for him.
"Ranran."
"Um?"
"You asked before if there were any obstacles that I couldn't overcome."
"Um."
"Do you remember last year, September 26th?"
She was stunned, how could she not remember.
The woman who committed suicide detonated the bomb, and the shock wave at the moment of the explosion hit her like a wall.
"While everyone was running away, there was a second bomb on the street."
She nodded, vaguely guessing that at that moment he rushed behind her because there was a more urgent situation behind him.
"I wanted to demolish it, but I failed." He restrained, and his eyebrows twitched, "I didn't have enough time, so I pushed the suicide attacker into a residential building on the roadside."
Song Ran could already guess what he was going to say next, and felt a shiver in her heart: "Is there someone inside?"
"Yes. A family of six." He said this very calmly and stopped talking for a while.
There seems to be a floating coolness in the dark corner.
Song Ran held his cold hand tightly and remained silent.
"I still remember the look in their eyes. The husband hugged his wife and children, frightened, sad and unable to believe in fate; the wife hugged the children desperately. And those children looked at me so quietly, Accepting death in silence. Their eyes, like the clutching hands of a baby, wanted to remember me. I wanted to do something at that time, but it was too late."
Song Ran¡¯s heart ached with pain, her eyes were moist, and she said, ¡°No wonder you always say that just because the purpose is correct does not mean the result is just.¡±
Li Zan remained silent, as if he was exhausted after speaking that long paragraph.
"But A-Zan," she said forcefully, "although this result is unjust, it is not evil either. Isn't it? You saved a dozen soldiers on the street, otherwise they would be the ones who were killed. Although lives are not exchangeable. , but you are not a murderer!"
Li Zan opened his eyes and listened quietly.
She took a deep breath, held him tightly with her fingers, and said with hatred in her slightly trembling voice: "The terrorist with the bomb strapped to his body was the one who killed a family of six! He is a human being, not a tool. He is not your murder tool. He is a criminal himself. It is them who should atone for their sins!"
Li Zan put his ear against her skin and heard the sound of her heartbeat on her neck. It was fast and intense, not at all like her before. He tilted his head slightly and buried his face in her neck. His eyes were sour, but the corners of his thin lips were slightly raised.
He held her hand that was shaking with anger. Holding each other's hands vigorously, it seems to draw strength, but also seems to give strength. In silence, invisible comfort.
Song Ran¡¯s heart gradually calmed down:
"A-Zan."
"Um?"
She smiled slightly but said nothing.
He didn¡¯t ask further questions and closed his eyes, tired but relaxed. He smelled the faint scent of her that was unique to her, and it made him feel at peace. Her shoulders are also very thin, gentle yet powerful. Like her arms, like her whole person.
"Ranran."
"Um?"
"I feel like sleeping whenever I lean against you."
She blinked: "Would you like to sleep on my lap?"
He shook his head.
She straightened her shoulders: "Stop talking, you can sleep a little longer."
"Yeah." He mumbled, his breathing just getting evener.
"A-Zan?" she suddenly asked again.
"Um?"
"Then??Fight, otherwise you will definitely lose. "
He looked at her with piercing eyes: "I won't quarrel with you."
"That's good." She said to herself again, "But if we really quarrel, I will definitely not be able to win against you."
"Why?"
"because¡¡"
I like you so much. She blushed: "If you say harsh words, I will definitely"
I¡¯m so sad that I can¡¯t say a word, so why should I quarrel?
Li Zan thought about it and asked, "When did I talk to you and you felt it was too heavy?"
"Not yet. I'll tell you later."
"Then I won't say harsh words to you in the future."
She smiled: "Okay."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I just remembered that when we broke up, there was no quarrel, no big words said, just like that
She pushed the thought away from her mind.
After dinner, she returned to her residence. Li Zan was really tired this time. As soon as she entered the room, she fell on the bed and couldn't get up.
Song Ran took off his military uniform and asked, "Is it okay if you sleep here with me?"
"It's okay. I won't have any missions for the next few days." He took off the sleeves of his military uniform, rolled in sideways, and said vaguely, "One mission can take a few days to repair. You have to fight every day, and you won't be useless."
Song Ran was taking off his pants, and with a strong pull, he rolled on his side on the bed, his face buried in the pillow, and the next few words were blurred.
And he was so tired that he didn¡¯t even have the energy to turn his head, so his nose was pressed into the pillow.
Song Ran helped him turn his body sideways. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply and slowly.
There is not enough water here to take a bath. She brought a basin of water, twisted a towel, and wiped his face and neck. He was half awake by the cold water, opened his eyes slightly, and remembered to do it himself.
She pushed him down and said, "Lie down and don't move." She then wiped his body carefully.
He curled the corners of his lower lips and tilted his head as if he had fallen asleep.
Song Ran wiped his body while checking the scars. There were a few new bruises on the legs, as well as some minor skin injuries; the same was true on the arms.
She checked them all and found that they were all minor injuries and there were no particularly deep new ones. She felt relieved at least.
It¡¯s just that there are scars from last year¡¯s explosion on my back, and it still hurts to look at it.
She rubbed his back, and suddenly remembered the moment when she jumped up and hugged him when he defused the bomb.
At that moment, she was scared, panicked, and helpless; but she was determined, determined, desperate, and just wanted to be with him. She thought she would give him strength, but unexpectedly, her heart was shocked.
At that time, she hugged him tightly and felt his fear and despair, his pain and regret, but she also felt his struggle, his unyieldingness, his fight, his mission, and his kindness. The moment the world went silent, she felt endless power. The flow continued, filling her heart.
A-Zan, you are the best person I have ever met.
?¡The person you like the most.
Song Ran cleaned him up and scrubbed himself, then closed the curtains and climbed onto the bed, lying on his side.
Li Zan was breathing heavily, his head tilted on the pillow, only half of his face was exposed, and his long eyelashes touched the pillow.
Song Ran stared at him quietly.
Within a few seconds, he felt her breath and fumbled to pull her into his arms.
It¡¯s very early and the sun is setting outside. But Song Ran followed him and closed her eyes peacefully, preparing to fall asleep.
But he suddenly moved in his sleep, as if he was thinking about something, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.
"Did you have anything else you wanted to tell me just now?"
Song Ran doesn¡¯t remember.
"Ranran."
"Huh?" She was still thinking about it.
"We will never break up again."
She was startled, but before she could react, he muttered to himself, "It didn't count last time, no points."
He was so tired that he couldn¡¯t even open his eyes, and he breathed deeply: ¡°It¡¯s settled. No matter what happens in the future, even if you lose your temper, quarrel, or have a cold war Anyway, we won¡¯t break up.¡±
She whispered: "Okay."
He buried his head into the pillow, and this time, he fell asleep peacefully.
She also closed her eyes and fell asleep in the dusk, having a peaceful night's sleep. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
