Chapter 206: Missing girlfriend for five years

In March 1940, the spring breeze blew green the weeping willows in the south of the Yangtze River. Neither China nor Japan started the war. The sky without gunpowder was particularly bright and the air was particularly fresh. The trees on the roadside quietly spit out a hint of fresh green, and the weeds secretly showed a hint of tender green, embellishing Nanchang City with spring. A young and beautiful lady was wandering outside the military department. Her steps tried to step into the military gate several times, but she retracted involuntarily. After a fierce inner struggle, she finally walked towards the sentry as if she had made up her mind.

The sentry saw this beautiful and elegant lady wandering around the military department for a long time and had been paying attention to her. When she walked up to her, the sentry asked her, "Miss, is there anything I can help?" The lady bit her lips gently, her starry eyes flashed, and she said with a silence, "Is Liu Wenye your army belonging to?" The sentry said alertly: "We have so many people, how can I know which Liu Wenye is?"

The lady thought about it and said, "Oh, he was originally from the Nanjing Teaching Corps. Later, I heard that he had rushed out of Nanjing and was the chief of staff for General Yue Hanping." The sentry said softly and said intimately that he was looking for Chief of Staff Liu. His professional vigilance still drove him to ask, "Miss, who are you? We have a chief of staff here, named Liu Wenye, but you can't tell me the reason. I can't let you see him. This is a military restricted area, please forgive me."

The beautiful woman's face turned red slightly, paused for a moment, and didn't know how to speak. After thinking about it, she took out a small dressing mirror from the bag she carried with her. The mirror was very exquisite, with gilded outside, and a thin layer of cloisonné pattern on the mirror lid. She handed it to the sentry, "Please give this to him, he recognizes it. I'll wait outside."

The sentry smiled secretly, hey, could it be our chief of staff's girlfriend or fiancée? He said politely, "Please wait a moment here, and I'll go in immediately." After saying hello to the guardhouse next to him, a sentry came out to take over the post. The sentry quickly walked towards the military office building.

Liu Wenye was working in the office, and there was a knock on the door. He raised his head and said loudly: "Come in." His adjutant pushed open the door and walked in, "Chief of Staff, look at this thing." After that, he handed him a delicate little dressing mirror.

Liu Wenye took the mirror and his face suddenly solidified. He was so familiar with this mirror. Looking at this mirror, he remembered the weeping willows on the shore of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing. The pure and beautiful girl snuggled in her arms and murmured. She couldn't stop her tears from coming out, "ticking", and a drop of tears fell down, hitting the cloisonné mirror, making a crisp sound.

Liu Wenye suddenly realized, subconsciously wiped his eyes, restored his former peace, and said to himself, "I don't know what's blowing into his eyes." The adjutant laughed wildly in his stomach. The chief of staff was really interesting. However, he was cold on his face, as if he didn't see the chief of staff wiping his tears. Liu Wenye continued, "Adjutant Li, where did this thing come from?" Adjutant Li quickly replied, "Seat, sentry from outside handed in. He said that a beautiful lady took it out, and said you knew him."

Liu Wenye quickly asked, "Where is the person?" The adjutant pointed to the gate, "No, I'm still waiting outside." Liu Wenye didn't say anything, and hurried out of the office with a mirror.

At the military gate, the lady paced back and forth at the door. When she heard a burst of footsteps behind her, she turned her head and couldn't help but stand there. Behind her, a young and handsome major general, with a straight general's uniform, and a golden star on her seal. Because of the rapidity of coming out, her face was full of anxiety, and her slightly pale face was slightly red because of her fatigue. She hadn't changed, she really didn't change. Isn't the man she saw in her dream? No, she looked more firm than in her dream, but she looked more haggard.

The woman was stunned for a moment and immediately rushed to his arms quickly, hugged him tightly, and sobbed on his shoulders. Liu Wenye stood blankly, letting the woman hold him, and his hands were half-lifted at a loss. He hesitated for a long time before he gently placed his hands on the woman's waist. The sentry next to him looked at the Chief of Staff, wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh out loud, so he had to quietly turn his head away.

Liu Wenye gently straightened the woman's body and said, "Go, go to my office and talk." The woman was reminded by the man and realized that it was at the gate of the military department. She suddenly felt her cheeks hot, so she quickly followed Liu Wenye into the gate of the military department.

Back at Liu Wenye's office, Liu Wenye poured her a cup of tea in a hurry. The woman smiled gently and said softly: "You are still like that, you are always so helpless in front of girls." Liu Wenye smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Liu Wenye gently closed the door when he came in. At this time, there were only two of them in the huge office. The thick door blocked all the noise outside the door, and the office was silent. For a moment, the two of them didn't know how to talk about it. Liu Wenye coughed gently and handed over the small mirror, "Do you still keep it?" The woman reached out to take the mirror and said with a slight gaze, "Of course I will keep it carefully when you gave it to me."

Liu Wenye's mind was filled with the smiles of the girls on the banks of Xuanwu Lake, and the crisp and silver bell-like laughter could not be removed. "It's been 5 years, you haven't heard of anything, why don't you say goodbye?" Liu Wenye's voice was slightly sobbing.

The girl gently played with the teacup, "You know, my father didn't agree with me looking for a soldier back then. He said that the wife of a soldier should be ready to be a widow at any time. So, my father drank milk with sleeping pills one morning. Did you know that when I opened my eyes and found myself on the boat, there was only my father next to me, and I wanted to jump into the sea."

Liu Wenye sighed softly and didn't say anything. He knew that his girlfriend's father was a famous businessman in Shanghai and had a good family background. It was normal for her father to have this idea. The woman continued, "I cried and made a fuss, but my father ignored me at all. Open the door of the cabin, and two strong bodyguards stopped me. I didn't even have the chance to go out of the cabin. There was no way, so I had to go to Japan to study. My father was busy with business in Japan for a while and entrusted me to his Japanese friends to take care of him. I miss you all the time in Japan, but my father's bodyguard followed my father's instructions and looked at me tightly, and didn't even have the chance to send a letter."

Liu Wenye took a sip of tea, "When did you return to China?" The woman took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes. "My father's business is getting bigger and bigger. After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, because my father had friends in Japan, my father's business was better. At the end of last year, I insisted on returning to China. In addition, my father was older and needed someone to help manage the business, so my father allowed me to return to China. Because of the war, my father also made him realize that only guns are reliable in troubled times. Therefore, my father did not object to our interactions. After returning, I found out through my father's friends in politics and military circles that you were in the Youth Army. I rushed over with anxiousness."

Liu Wenye moved to the woman's hand, "Xinru, that's great. From now on, I don't want you to leave me again." Xinru held the man's finger tightly and stroked her gently, "Okay, Wenye, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Xinru leaned her head against Liu Wenye's chest, "I knew you would be successful for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would become a general so soon." Liu Wenye smiled softly, "I have to say that, I have to thank my good friend, and my commander, Yue Hanping. The fall of Nanjing was brought out from Nanjing. He followed him to fight the Japanese. He admired my staff profession and let me display my talents. Do you know that in the army, I can mobilize the troops like the commander, which is impossible in other troops."

Xinru opened her slightly closed eyes, "What does this mean? I don't understand." Liu Wenye smiled, "Oh, the military matter, no wonder you don't understand. In other words, in our army, even if the commander does not give orders, I can still mobilize the troops. When I gave the commander, oh, I was the brigade commander, and when I was the chief of staff, I could mobilize the troops without authorization. Do you know, how much trust does this mean?"

Xinru slapped Liu Wenye's forehead with a coquettish look, "So what? You're not a supporting role for others?" Liu Wenye smiled relaxedly, "Xinru, you don't understand, I have self-knowledge, my profession and my personality are not suitable for being the top leader. Besides, Hanping and I are not at all related to superiors and subordinates now. We are good friends and good brothers. Follow him to fight the Japanese, and we will be happy."

Xinru acted coquettishly and twisted her body in Liu Wenye's arms, "Wenye, this is not like you before. You are arrogant and have never admired anyone. I still like you like you. I think you can definitely stand alone and form your own army."

Liu Wenye smiled and did not answer. Zhao Xinru muttered, "What people are saying is true, even the Japanese know your name."

Liu Wenye was stunned, his heart skipped a beat, and he said seriously: "Xinru, where do you start with this? How could you know about the Japanese?"

Zhao Xinru glanced at him charmingly, "You, forgot that my father has many friends with the Japanese? When my father was treating him, he heard that he seemed to be a general from the Shanghai Governor Command. I heard the Japanese general talking about Yue Hanping, and you, Liu Wenye. The Japanese gritted their teeth when they mentioned you. Oh, tell me, why did you make the Japanese hate you so much?"

Liu Wenye stood up with a smug smile on his face, "That's it just that I broke through Nanjing to Maoshan. The scouts I sent found out that a Japanese convoy was going to pass by, so they discussed with Hanping that we fought an ambush under the eyes of the Japanese. Guess what? Who did we kill?"
