Qin Zhi'ai had stopped, pouting, then turned around, about to angrily ask if he could stop calling her sweetheart.
However, before she had asked, he had opened his mouth, saying, "I'm enlisting in the army next Wednesday."
Qin Zhi'ai had suddenly frozen in the middle of turning her head.
Enlisting in the army… Does he mean he's joining the army? He chose to join the army instead of going to college after he graduated high school? The dream he told me wasn't just a dream to be kept in his mind, but a goal to be achieved one day.
After quite a long while, when Qin Zhi'ai had recovered from the shock, she had turned her head slowly to see him, and the words that she had previously wanted to say had been squeezed out of her mind by what he had just said.
