After the Battalion Leader Bai left, Bai Xue was left alone.
Kneeling on the ground, she sobbed quietly for a moment. Her face full of despair, she wiped her tears, rose to her feet and found the makeup box of Battalion Leader Bai. She covered the slight traces on her face while cursing their consanguinity. He had not hit her too hard.
After applying her makeup, Bai Xue took out paper and pen from a drawer and wrote a letter, sealing it tightly.
"I cannot accept this! I cannot accept this!"
She muttered these words repeatedly, finally mustering the courage to stride out the office with the letter hidden away. She followed the route she had earlied learned about, avoiding people. Ducking and dodging, she arrived at the Officers' Residential Area, only to be stopped by the guarding soldiers.
"Comrade, this is not where performing arts soldiers like you should stay. Please do not intrude here."
