The following day, the sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky.
When An Xiaxia arrived at school, Kang Jian was no longer there.
She called him on his cell phone and Kang Jian's mum picked up in the end, talking in her usual loud and hearty voice. "He's going to the army today! He's already boarded the train! His dad and I both think it's a good thing. You and Xiao Su don't need to worry about him. Study hard~"
"Why did he leave so soon…" An Xiaxia asked, a little upset.
"The time was fixed for quite a while. He said he didn't want to upset you and Xiao Su, so he kept it from you on purpose. Hoho… such a dumb kid…" Mother Kang began to sob. "He's such a fool…"
He would have to stay in the army for at least two years, and it was only natural that his mother would be sad about his long absence.
Moreover, she knew better than anyone else why her son had made this decision…
An Xiaxia also felt awful. Her eyes were red after she hung up.
