Gu Juexi gobbled up the bread, then grabbed a bottle of water and opened it. "He is so much older than me. There's not much of a chance that he will outlive me."
Lu Qichuan couldn't argue with Gu Juexi on that.
"Is it because of what happened back then?" Lu Qichuan asked.
Ye Yuwei woke up on the seats and saw no one in the cabin. She got up carefully when she heard someone talking in the cockpit and slowly approached it.
Gu Juexi's hand froze. "No," he said finally, putting the bottle cap back on.
The cockpit fell into complete silence. Not able to enter, Ye Yuwei leaned against the door from the outside.
"There are things that not even time can change."
"And you are making this decision because of Yuwei," Lu Qichuan pointed out straightforwardly, "you might be disappointed about what happened in the army back then, but it was when you married Ye Yuwei that you gave up all opportunities of rejoining the troop."
