3119 Stop Crying
After Ye Jian received Xia Jinyuan’s call, she walked out of the laboratory. Now that she was on the plane, she was also wearing a student military uniform. She was sitting in the business class at the front. When she heard the sweet voice of the air stewardess wishing all the passengers a good night and a good dream, the emotions that she had restrained broke down again. Her tears fell like rain.
J5 used to say, ‘A soldier’s job is not for humans. But if you take it on, you’ll be without regrets!’
J5 used to say, ‘A person only has so many decades in their life. They have to do a few big things to live happily.’
J5 used to say, ‘Azure Bird, why do you think some people don’t believe that this isn’t a peaceful era? I want to ask, do you believe that this is a peaceful era?’
J5 used to say, ‘The landscape, the soldiers at the pass, the countryside, the fields, the wells, the flowers, the grass, the trees… These are all from our country. We have to guard them well. No one can trample on them!’
J5 used to say, ‘The smoke hasn’t gone far. The color of the military uniform on my body is still the same. We have our own heroes. They’re all pointing their swords at the future. The best thing I can do in my life is to become a soldier.’
J5 used to say, ‘I don’t want to be discharged from the army. I just want to fight. If I really die in battle one day, brothers, sing ‘Giving My Comrades a Gift’ for me. We’ll meet again in another life!’
Meeting again in another life… Only J5 would say such a thing.
His laughter was still there, but he had already left…
Afraid that she would disturb the passengers resting beside her, Ye Jian bit her arm with her mouth. She was too sad. The flesh on her arm was red and swollen even through her clothes.
She didn’t cry out loud, but her chest heaved up and down. Even if she wasn’t crying out loud, the male passengers beside her could feel her silent sorrow.
“Comrade, are you… okay?”
She was so sad. Just what had she encountered to react like this?
Ye Jian didn’t say anything. She just shook her head and adjusted her body. She went from sitting flat to lying on her side. She was not doing well at all. Her comrade died. How could she be fine?
A child’s voice came from the economy class at the back. She must have woken up from her sleep and was crying. The young mother coaxed her gently. After a while, the child fell asleep again.
Some people were already snoring. They were sleeping soundly. The distracting thoughts in their hearts dissipated, and they felt relaxed.
A low cough was heard. Then, a middle-aged woman complained, “I told you to take your medicine on time, but you didn’t listen! Isn’t it uncomfortable to cough? Be good! Come, drink some warm water.”
One by one, they weaved a picture of safety. And this picture… was the safety that J5 and the rest had risked their lives for.
“Come, comrade, wipe your face. Don’t cry. You’re still young. There’s nothing you can’t overcome. Don’t cry.” The middle-aged man handed a tissue to Ye Jian. She was crying too hard. Even if she didn’t cry out loud, he felt suffocated watching her.
Ye Jian’s nose was blocked. She used her mouth to breathe a few times. After adjusting her breathing, she took the tissue from the passenger. “Thank you. I’m sorry for disturbing you!”
Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn’t speak properly. The passenger sighed softly and said, “You’re welcome. Sleep for a while!” He didn’t disturb the young soldier who was crying silently beside him.
Ye Jian sat in the aisle seat. She wiped her tears before going to the bathroom. She needed to wash her face.
