Three days later at the Martyrs' Cemetery.

Lu Xiliang attended the funeral in a wheelchair with an empty expression, and didn't say a word the whole time, just silently pushed to the tombstone, and said hoarsely, "I want to quit the Marine Corps, I hope you can approve it." ”

The middle-aged man pushing him behind him stared at him unfathomably, and then put him and the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombstone, "It's not the first time you've experienced the death of your comrades, Xiliang, why can't you bear it this time, because...... She? ”

"I'm not sorry for the military, but I'm sorry for her." Lu Xiliang seemed to repeat this sentence in a muttered manner, and his spirit was a little abrupt.

Seeing that he had changed so much and his mental state was also poor, the middle-aged man sighed and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Okay, I don't force you Xiliang, the Marines welcome you back at any time." ”

"Hmm." Lu Xiliang took one last look at the tombstone, and everything three days ago seemed to be vivid.

He closed his empty eyes in agony, why...... It wasn't he who died?

After the funeral, Zhou Er watched Lu Xiliang being pushed into the car and left, and walked to the middle-aged man's side, "You really approved him to quit the Marine Corps, so that the army has suffered a lot of losses, every soldier has experienced these life and death partings, and he is no exception." ”

He wanted to be there for the person he loved all the time, even if that person would never wake up again. His lover has surpassed his beliefs, and it may not be a good thing to force him to stay. ”

Zhou Er seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and left the martyr's cemetery with the middle-aged man.

……

Back at the hospital, Lu Xiliang looked through the glass, and Lu Xue was still breathing on a respirator in the special ward.

Finally pushed open the door of the ward and entered.

Lu Xiliang stared at her emaciated cheeks beside the bed, and the doctor's diagnosis echoed in his mind, "The place where the bullet penetrated the patient's Lu Xue's brain happened to be off the mark, which is really one in ten thousand luck, but after the operation, there is too much water in her brain, and she will fall into a coma, as for whether she will wake up, it can only depend on her own creation." ”

His big hand covered the back of her soft and boneless hand, held it gently, put it on his lips and kissed it reverently, "Lu Xue, when will you wake up, I won't go anywhere, don't worry, I will always be with you this time." I won't leave you alone at home worrying about waiting for me to come back, I don't want to protect anyone anymore when I leave the Marines, I can't even protect you as a woman......"

The back of Lu Xue's hand was tightly held by him, but she still lay there unresponsive.

"I went to the funeral of my comrade-in-arms today, and I remembered that he died in a shootout with the gangsters three days ago, and I also remembered that you blocked the gangsters' bullets for me." Lu Xiliang frowned bitterly, "I used to think that dying as a soldier was something that had to be endured, whether it was me or my comrades-in-arms, but when I saw the bullet shooting through you, I regretted taking this mission for a moment, and even more regretted being a soldier." ”

He gently brushed the hair from her ear, and said hoarsely and in a low voice, "I'm even thinking, if I wasn't a soldier, I wouldn't have said again and again that you are my responsibility to break your heart, and I wouldn't even be stingy to say to you what you want to hear, I'm sorry, Lu Xue ......"

The back of Lu Xue's hand was gradually wet with water stains, and then a man's muffled voice of regret came from the ward, "I love you, Lu Xue." ”

He didn't see that when Lu Xue heard this, as if he had waited for a long, long time, tears gradually slipped from the corners of his eyes.

The finger on the other side moved slightly, almost imperceptibly.
