Gu Nian's lips curled slightly upon hearing the words, then she softly said, "And then... how did the two of you break through the siege of those ten men and survive?"
"You're really smart, girl..."
Old Master Jing couldn't stop praising Gu Nian, then continued, "At that time... actually, I thought to myself, I've encountered a fool... What's he doing dying alongside me, it's just... a young brat, a big greenhorn, a blockhead indeed."
"When I felt... it was time for us to die together, he suddenly turned to me, grinned, and smiled."
"Platoon leader, I haven't taken a wife yet... hehe, I want to marry..."
"At that sentence... I hadn't cried my entire life, but in that moment, I almost did."
Immersed in his memories, Old Master Jing couldn't help but have reddened eyes and become emotional, lifting the white liquor from his desk again and taking a sip.
