Chapter 1177: Seemed to Look Down on Him?
There were too many things in Zhu Yanqiu’s heart. There were his future prospects, his destiny, his ambition, and now Fang Feifei seemed to want to break up with him. On top of that, Zhu Suniang seemed to look down on him.
It caused Zhu Yanqiu to feel an unprecedented sensation of loss and helplessness. It was so painful that he wished he could die.
Every day, he woke up only to cook and to cook. He was the young master of a wealthy family, but now he was around the boiler all day, surrounded by flames and smoke.
These kinds of days were so painful for him that he felt like falling apart. He inwardly vowed that no matter what, he had to get on the battlefield. He must get onto the battlefield!
The only way to solve this current dilemma was to head to the battlefield, but his hand…
When it came time for meals, Ning Shu saw that Zhu Yanqiu’s eyes were red. His eyelids were swollen, so it seemed that he had cried.
These two couldn’t have broken up, right?
Zhu Yanqiu noticed Ning Shu looking at him, so he shot her a glare. He didn’t even want to talk to her and simply turned and left.
Ning Shu took in Zhu Yanqiu’s manner of having misstepped in life, no, the pained look of having misstepped in love. There was probably now an issue in their relationship.
It must be known that in the original storyline, Fang Feifei hadn’t found out about the truth until Zhu Yanqiu obtained success and fame. Zhu Yanqiu had been very skilled in keeping it secret.
Fang Feifei knew about Zhu Suniang’s existence, but she believed what Zhu Yanqiu said and had believed that she was his sister. Later, when she found out about the truth, she immediately wanted to leave Zhu Yanqiu.
However, by then, Zhu Yanqiu was wearing a military uniform with a row of medals hanging on his chest. He had directly fallen to a half kneel on the ground to ask for her forgiveness. A powerful and influential man was kneeling in front of her, any woman would feel their heart tremble.
Furthermore, during those days on the battlefield, they had supported each other greatly, which deepened their feelings. Fang Feifei did truly love Zhu Yanqiu. In addition, at that time, Zhu Suniang was already bedridden with illness and near death, so Fang Feifei had accepted Zhu Yanqiu’s apology.
However, the current Zhu Yanqiu hadn’t obtained success yet. He was covered with ash from head to toe and completely different from the radiant young master he used to be. He had lost his aura of being a wealthy young master, and so his aura was a lot dimmer.
He hadn’t killed a single enemy since arriving on the battlefield and had become a logistician who didn’t have much chance of making a significant contribution. That, coupled with the early outbreak of this emotional conflict, made it possible that their feelings would come to a premature end.
On top of that, Fang Feifei now had a bit of fame as a war reporter, so there was quite a big gap between the two. When the woman was strong and the man was weak, it was easy for problems to occur in the relationship. After all, all women longed to be conquered by a strong man.
It must be known that even animals only choose to mate with powerful males who were victorious in battle.
Alas, this plan for a tragic and inspiring battlefield song of love may have to fall through.
Ning Shu didn’t pay anymore attention to what was going on between Zhu Yanqiu and Fang Feifei because she was now very busy, extremely busy. She and Xiao Tong were always so exhausted that they didn’t even have the strength to lift their hands.
There were way more wounded compared to before and the frontline was constantly retreating. The bombing had become fiercer as well and air strikes would occur multiple times a day.
Not only did Ning Shu have to treat the wounded, she also had to guard against being injured by a bomb.
They wouldn’t be able to defend this area for much longer, it was about to fall. All this struggle was simply to delay the arrival of that inevitable day.
The commander who had been shot before couldn’t hold on for much longer. His wound had gotten severely infected, so much so that even the western anti-inflammatory medicine had no effect. Ning Shu had even taken out the western medicine she had exchanged for in the system marketplace, but it was useless.
This had been a fatal injury from the start, yet the environment was also bad and he didn’t have proper rest. On top of that, he faced an enormous amount of pressure every day. The future of the whole army was resting on his shoulders.
The commander told Ning Shu to make sure he stayed alive no matter what. He couldn’t die now. He had to hold on until backup came, until the superiors gave the order to retreat.
