Manman, where are you?
On her first night in Beijing, Manman had a dream. Suddenly, it seemed like she heard his voice. Startled, she climbed out of her bedding.
Chun Xia, who was sleeping beside her, murmured, "Having a nightmare?"
"No," Manman said, climbing out of bed, took a sip of water to steady her nerves, and took out her cellphone to check. Still, there were no messages from him.
She too wanted to ask, where was he now?
In reality, Jiang Yan was quite frustrated.
Having been called back by the military, he had asked his superiors if he could make a phone call. To his dismay, someone watched him insist that he could only call his family.
This—clearly something was wrong.
Enduring, he made it to the day he could be transferred to the National Defense University for further studies. Just having arrived at the university, he couldn't rush to apply for leave, as that would make him suspicious to the leadership.
