Chapter 217: Time can't dilute memory
But Gu Huaiyuan couldn't understand that even if Mu Qinghuan was young, she wouldn't forget all about herself in a year, and she didn't even give him a look when she passed by him.
It's as if they've never crossed paths.
When Gu Huaiyuan was about to go directly to the orphanage, he received an order to return to the team.
He could only hurry back to his mission.
After the mission, he returned to the dormitory and saw his comrades-in-arms who were usually like steel with tears on their faces.
For a soldier, a comrade-in-arms can be said to be a person who is closer than a brother, even if he is not a person of many words, to comfort him.
The comrade-in-arms smiled bitterly and told him that his wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she wanted to divorce him. And he didn't even have a chance to go to his wife and beg her.
Military personnel in general rarely return home, especially special forces like them.
As their spouse can be imagined.
Gu Huaiyuan couldn't help but think of Mu Qinghuan, the girl who brought light to his world, the girl who would carefully blow herself because of the pain of her wound.
He was really unwilling, just a passerby in her life.
Gu Huaiyuan thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
He chose to be discharged from the army.
When Gu Huaiyuan still remembers the surprise on the leader's face when he heard his decision.
At that time, he was only in his 20s, and it was the beginning of his military career, so of course he didn't agree, but Gu Huaiyuan was determined to retire.
Even his so-called father came to the army after hearing the news, scolded him loudly, and wanted to beat Gu Huaiyuan and beat Gu Huaiyuan back, but Gu Huaiyuan looked resolute.
In the end, I had to invite my grandfather.
When Grandpa came, he didn't persuade him like everyone else, but just asked him that if he really did it, then he wouldn't regret it in the future.
Regret it?
At that time, many people asked him why he wanted to leave the army.
But Gu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, those people only thought that he had his own plans.
But Gu Huaiyuan just felt that no one believed him when he said it, he actually retired from the army for a girl.
After he was discharged from the army at the age of 24, those people in the Gu family were afraid that he would rob the Gu family's property, and they stabbed him with his insistence on retiring from the army, and everyone was eager to trample him under their feet.
So Gu Huaiyuan joined politics, which was one of the reasons why he joined the army at the beginning, and he didn't want to rob those disgusting people.
Grandpa respects his decision, so he fully supports him.
Gu Huaiyuan was very busy at the beginning, after all, all the people in the Gu family looked at him and hoped that something would make him wrong, so he could only contribute money to fund the orphanage.
At that time, he didn't have any ideas, he just wanted Mu Qinghuan to live a better life.
But I didn't expect that what he did was hidden and discovered by others.
After receiving the news that someone went to check the flow of the funds, Gu Huaiyuan was anxious, and at that time, a woman who his good brother cared about was killed.
Gu Huaiyuan realized that he was fledgling, and if the Gu family, or the opponent, found out that he cared about someone, then Mu Qinghuan might end up like that woman, and he had to stop funding.
If he wants to protect the people he wants to protect, then he must be strong.
In this way, he climbed step by step.
But the further you go, the more dangerous the road becomes.
When he was free, he couldn't help but wonder, is it worth it all these years? Instead of allowing that light to reignite in his world, he didn't even have a chance to see it.
It is said that the years have passed, but for so many years, he has not forgotten her.
