Chapter 381 When will you come back?
Amid applause and cheers, she spoke these words with her head down, unable to see Gu Juncheng's reaction or expression.
Her jump, at that time, seemed straightforward, passionate, and shocking.
Fortunately, the response from the officers and soldiers on the island and their families was straightforward and enthusiastic; after that jump, the applause lasted for a very long time…
After the gala ended, the island fell silent once more, with only the lights on the island flickering in the darkness, a reminder of the lively atmosphere that had just taken hold.
The entire residential area gradually fell asleep.
Apart from the soft, even breathing sounds, there was no other sound in Gu Juncheng's room.
But some people couldn't sleep. The image that kept replaying in their minds was the figure in a swaying red dress under the bright stage lights, and the sweet voice repeatedly singing "The Night of the Military Port..." That fiery, dazzling red... He leaped down and embraced her tightly; even now, his arms were still burning with passion...
"I don't know, you won't let me die."
"...I will hate you for the rest of my life."
With my eyes closed, those two sentences kept echoing in my ears.
He didn't know when he fell asleep. Not long after he closed his eyes, the bugle sounded. He got up and went to the morning exercise field, where he trained until he was drenched in sweat and exhausted.
It was noon when I returned.
He brought two meals back from the cafeteria. Before he even got home, he heard a clattering sound from afar. He strode home and finally realized the source of the sound—Lin Qingping was building a fence.
She said she wanted to build a fence and have flowers climbing all over it.
The neighbors on both sides had already fenced off their own houses. For his house, the only things missing were the front fence and a gate.
In just one morning, she had already gotten most of it done, and even dug up some plants and planted them—the little red flowers that are common on the island.
She tied the branches of the little red flowers to the fence so that they would climb all over the fence.
Standing next to her was a boy, Chen Lei, the son of the Chen family.
Chen Lei watched her fix the flowers, and occasionally handed her a small wire.
"Auntie, will these flowers really bloom all over the fence?" Chen Lei asked, watching her busy at work.
"Probably." Lin Qingping looked at the seedlings she had dug up. Bougainvillea is very vigorous, especially since it grows on an island.
"Then..." Chen Lei asked cautiously, "You're all leaving now, and it's already blooming, so you won't be able to see it, will you?"
Lin Qingping smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Not getting the answer he wanted, Chen Lei couldn't help but ask directly, "Auntie, will you come back? When will you come back?"
Lin Qingping gently lifted a bright red flower with her fingers. "If it survives and the little flowers bloom all over the fence, we will come back."
Chen Lei was overjoyed to hear this, "Great! Auntie, I'll be waiting for you to come back!"
"Chen Lei, I asked you to help my mom build the fence, what are you talking about?" Zhiyuan rushed out of the house, his face covered in mud.
He arranged for his friends to do the work, but he wasn't idle either. He specifically asked Uncle Tian how to build a house, because he wanted to build a bathhouse in the backyard. The bathhouse that was currently surrounded by curtains was not suitable for his mother to use.
Chen Lei grinned, "Zhiyuan, your mom said you'll come back."
Zhiyuan glanced at his mother but didn't say anything.
"Zhiyuan!" Chen Lei panicked. "You're not not coming back, are you? You don't think the capital is better than our island, so you're not coming back, do you?"
