"It's done," Nan Hua said calmly, yet there was a hint of distress from her tone.
Long Qian Xing, who was used to pay close attention to Nan Hua, naturally didn't miss this. He turned around and looked at Nan Hua behind him hurriedly.
Seeing her indifferent expression yet her eyes seemed to show worry, Long Qian Xing showed a reassuring smile.
"I'm fine. Scars are the battle medal for men. It's nothing bad."
Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded lightly. Now that Long Qian Xing turned around, she realized that he had more scars on his front. Not to mention, there was a large scars from his right shoulder towards his left stomach.
It was definitely a fatal injury if not treated in a hurry.
"This is from my first battle against a general back then," Long Qian Xing saw Nan Hua's gaze and explained. "I was a bit impetuous and challenged him rashly, which resulted in this injury. Thankfully, I was treated by the doctor in time so I can still keep my life."
The actual condition was definitely not as simple as what Long Qian Xing said.
But Nan Hua knew that being a soldier was Long Qian Xing's dream and ambition. She understood that he wanted to protect his people through being a soldier. No matter what other people said, he would not give up on this path easily.
She also wouldn't persuade him to stop.
Betting their lives on countless life and death's battle, these were something that every soldiers had to go through. From the moment she decided to be with Long Qian Xing, she had to be prepared to lose him at any time because of the danger he faced at the frontline.
But even if she knew, it couldn't conceal her distress and heartache.
To be able to stand as a general, the journey he had treaded wouldn't be ordinary. For those who stood at the top, how many sweat, tears, and blood had been poured?
No one but those who personally experienced it will know.
"Be careful," in the end, that was all Nan Hua said.
But Long Qian Xing knew that she was supporting him in his decision and smiled reassuringly. He had reason why he had to go back alive and will do his best so that he would be able to keep this life of his.
While walking in this dangerous path, he will also try to protect himself for the sake of the people who cared for him and waiting for him.
Long Qian Xing raised his hand and patted Nan Hua's head tenderly.
He wanted to stay for a long time with this beauty.
It was only now he understood why many of his married soldiers would always talk about their partner at home. Knowing that there was someone waiting for them made them longed to be able to go home safely.
But he knew that there were still many things to do.
Long Qian Xing suppressed his emotion and stood up. "Fang Sheng Lin should have been treated by now. I'm going to see him now."
