Chapter 1016: I’m Going to Wait for You to Be Back
Everyone was stunned after witnessing An’an’s outburst. They looked at An’an dazedly, forgetting to even react to her behavior.
Huo Yanmei also looked at An’an in a daze. She hadn’t expected An’an to have such a reaction.
An’an loved Lu Yan, her love was so deep and pure. Now that Lu Yan hadn’t come back, she wouldn’t possibly be able to take the news.
Everyone was worried about her. They were all worried that she would be so devastated and breakdown, but she hadn’t.
In fact, she hadn’t shed a single tear. Though her eyes were red, she hadn’t cried. She hadn’t panicked, she hadn’t shown even an ounce of fragility. Not even a tiny bit.
“An’an.” Li Si wiped his tears away. He finally understood why Lu Yan fell in love with An’an. It was all because An’an had already grown up, she had become a woman who would support Lu Yan and brave all obstacles together with him.
“Brother Li, thanks to you all my Mom has been brought out safely. Thank you for all your efforts, hurry and go take a hot shower in the house. Change into a new set of clothing and have some ginger soup. Freshen up and take some rest, we have another battle to fight!” An’an said.
“Yes.” Li Si nodded his head vehemently.
“Young Master Fu, there’s no signal here and we can’t contact anyone outside. Could you please send General Chen a letter, we need immediate a.s.sistance.”
Fu Qinglun nodded. “Okay.”
“Miss An’an, what are you trying to do?” Someone couldn’t understand her plans and asked.
An’an walked in front, lifting her head up and looking at the jungle that had been swallowed by the heavy storm. “After the hurricane, we’re going to dig the jungle. Even if we have to overturn the entire jungle upside down, I must find him. I don’t care whether he is dead or alive, I must see him with my own eyes. I must… take him home!”
She would never leave him behind alone in the jungle.
Never.
She would take him home personally.
Everyone was dazed, especially the Blood Forces. They felt their pa.s.sion rekindling, their blood all warm.
That’s right, they had to search for the General.
They were going to take the General home!
But… When was this blasted hurricane going to go away?
…
All injured personnel had their wounds dressed in the house while An’an still stood on the spot. She held the diamond ring and the camellia in her hand tightly.
Fu Qinglun stood beside her, his voice low as he said, “We have the latest updates from the weather forecast. It’s forecasted that the hurricane is going to last for at least another hour.”
Another hour?
Lu Yan was still stuck in the jungle and they didn’t know whether he was still alive or not. They had no time to spare, they couldn’t even waste a single second.
But they still had to wait for an hour more.
“Young Master Fu, do you think he’s still alive?”
Fu Qinglun stood tall and answered, “He must still be alive.”
“Mm.” An’an nodded and her lashes fluttered. “I believe that he’s still alive.”
As she said that, she held her palms together and looked in the direction of the jungle as she shut her eyes. It was said that there were mystical beings looking over the jungle, she wanted to pray to them.
Pray for a magical result.
Pray for luck to s.h.i.+ne over Lu Yan.
Pray for all the good things to come to him.
No matter how tough life was, Lu Yan had lived an honest forty years on earth. If there was even justice on earth, how would a hero like Lu Yan even die?
Fu Qinglun stood beside An’an quietly, he looked at the jungle too and listened.
Listened to a song about a hero.
Li Si and the Blood Forces had freshened up before they stepped out of the house, joining An’an and Fu Qinglun. They looked in the direction of the jungle and prayed together.
“Look over there!”
Everyone lifted their eyes and looked over. Far away at the jungle, it was as though a large hand had done its magic and lifted the dark clouds away. There was some light peeking out, a rainbow appeared.
A beautiful rainbow actually appeared before them. An’an heard the joyous cheers. Her lashes fluttered and she opened her eyes wifely. She had seen it.
The rainbow appeared in the skies and the sun slowly came out.
After the hurricane was the appearance of the bright sun. The sun shone brightly over the jungle, giving it a golden warmth.
“The hurricane is over! The hurricane has stopped in such a short amount of time!”
“The sun is finally out, everything is over!”
Everyone cheered.
An’an slowly raised the corners of her lips. Justice was just like Lu Yan, it might come late, but it would never be absent.
The sun shone so brightly.
…
Everyone entered the jungle for the search and Chen Jin had also come. A Jeep covered in camouflage print drove over the muddy path. The doors opened and many soldiers alighted from the Jeep.
Everyone rolled their sleeves up, using spades to dig into the muddy ground.
It was the golden 24-hour search period. They had to make use of every precious second.
Everyone had come.
They had all come to take General Lu home.
it was too dark just now and they couldn’t see properly. But now, everyone had come to help.
How could they possibly leave him in such darkness?
He used to fight with the heavens, saving so many people’s lives and sending back home. Now, everyone had come to take him home.
An’an arrived at one portion of the jungle. The mega tree had broken into two halves and it was stained with blood.
An’an slowly crouched over, taking a sample of the blood on the tree trunk. The trail of blood was cold, but the blood on her fingertip was hot. It was his blood.
She could feel that he was here.
He was here just now.
An’an walked in front, seeing a trail that had been flushed by violent waters. Though the marks had faded, there was a deep trail of someone crawling left behind on the muddy ground.
He had crawled here!
An’an followed the trail, walking on the path he had been on.
The marks were so deep. He had dragged his body over this path. His legs were numb and couldn’t function but it didn’t stop him. He dug his palms into the muddy ground, leaving marks behind.
An’an could feel it, she could feel his desire to live.
She could feel it, he wanted to come home.
He really yearned to come back home.
“An’an.” Huo Yanmei followed over. “Lu Yan has some last words for you. He said, you should abort the child.”
He had said that?
An’an moved her lips, placing her hand on her stomach. The baby didn’t move at all.
Daddy had run into some trouble and the baby is keeping quiet, behaving so well. The baby was accompanying Mommy and waiting for Daddy.
She let out a chuckle and said, “Silly fool.”
Such a fool.
She took out the diamond ring from her pocket, sliding it onto her ring finger on her right hand. “A soldier shouldn’t get divorced, do you even dare to abandon me?”
“An’an.” Chen Jin had come. His eyes were red as he looked at An’an, his heart aching.
“General Chen, what a good time to come. The Blood Forces can be my witnesses, Lu Yan has proposed to me and I’ve agreed to his proposal. Please help me submit a marriage application to the higher ups, I want to be his wife.”
“An’an…” Huo Yanmei’s eyes were filled with tears.
An’an used the hand with the diamond ring on to touch her stomach. “Fool, the baby and I are not as fragile as you think. A soldier’s wife is capable of handling everything, even if her husband collapses for a moment.
“When the baby is born, I will tell the baby, Daddy’s name is Lu Yan. He’s everyone’s role model, we are all very proud of him.”
