Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Peacekeeping
Yan Chunlu and Yu Shaohan pushed open the hospital room door.
They heard Bai Xiao talking to Bai Song.
"Brother, you’re really wrong this time. Such a big thing happened, and you didn’t tell me! Are you not treating me as your sister?" She was choking up.
She started crying.
Bai Song’s anxious voice came, "Xiao, I was wrong. Big brother was wrong, isn’t that enough? I was wrong, I really was wrong! I shouldn’t have kept it from you." His voice got smaller and smaller.
He was most afraid of his sister being like this, and it really happened. Now that she knew he was injured, she was extremely anxious.
An Zhiyuan, where’s your integrity?
Where’s the promise of principles!
Bai Xiao stopped crying, "Big brother, tell me, will you keep it from me next time? If there’s a next time, I’ll leave immediately and never see you again. Anyway, you don’t consider me part of the family. I’m not one of you! I’m just an outsider."
Bai Xiao was truly angry.
If something happened to her big brother, and she couldn’t get there immediately, it could be fatal.
That’s a minefield, not just any injury.
Landmines can kill people.
Bai Song grabbed his sister, "I was wrong, Xiao. I was just afraid of you being like this. Look, your eyes are swollen. My injury is much better now. Look, I’m fine... oh... I’m fine..." Bai Song moved his leg injury and the pain was excruciating.
Bai Xiao quickly used her special ability on him, no need for acupuncture here. This was her brother. Her siblings all knew about her special ability. They were the people she trusted most in the world!
Bai Song noticed Yan Chunlu and Yu Shaohan, discreetly letting go of Bai Xiao’s hand. He knew what Bai Xiao was doing; he felt a wave of warmth flow through his body from his sister, and the pain in his leg eased a lot. It was the first time he truly understood Bai Xiao’s special ability.
"What are you doing here?"
Bai Song’s tone was unfriendly, because Yan Chunlu had crossed the line this time, entangling herself with him. He wasn’t someone who played around with others. Yes was yes, and no was no. He didn’t like Yan Chunlu, and it had nothing to do with beauty or anything else, it was purely dislike.
But this time, Yan Chunlu seriously hurt not only him but also two teammates. Fortunately, they had only minor injuries. If they had suffered a crippling injury like his and were struggling painfully in the hospital, Bai Song wouldn’t have been like this.
Yan Chunlu felt somewhat aggrieved, but she also felt guilty knowing that she was the reason Bai Song was lying there.
"I came to see you!"
Yu Shaohan felt uneasy seeing Bai Song speaking harshly to her daughter. She herself wasn’t sure what she really wanted.
On one hand, she feared her daughter getting entangled with Bai Song, worried that Bai Song might reveal any hint of affection, giving her daughter false hope. But seeing him treat her daughter dismissively also filled her with anger.
"Thank..."
As she was about to speak harshly, Yan Chunlu quickly stopped her, "Mom, did you forget why we’re here?"
She was afraid her mother would leave her no dignity.
Lately, her mom had been like a powder keg, ready to explode at any provocation.
Yu Shaohan closed her mouth.
"Big brother Bai, rest assured, I’m not here to pester you. I feel genuinely guilty for causing you three to be injured. This happened because of me, so I wanted to show some care. As long as I see you all recover, I’ll be relieved.
I promise I won’t pester you anymore. I just want to take care of you until you recover, without any ulterior motives. If I’m lying, may the heavens strike me down with lightning, may I suffer worse than death, may my descendants be cut off..."
Yan Chunlu knew Bai Song didn’t believe her. This time, she truly decided to change and give up on him.
"Chunlu! What are you saying? How can you curse yourself like that?" Yu Shaohan was deeply concerned for her daughter and somewhat blamed Bai Song.
Bai Song had caused all this.
If not for Bai Song, why would her daughter have to say such things?
Bai Song seemed to understand what Yan Chunlu meant. After a moment, he said, "Yan Chunlu, there’s really no need for this. I’m almost healed now, and I understand your intentions. On that day, we would have rescued anyone in the minefield. You don’t need to feel burdened! It has nothing to do with you, so you really don’t have to do this.
I just hope you know what you’re doing! Think about it before you act in the future! This time was fortunate, but next time might not be. If a few people were really sacrificed for you, I think you wouldn’t be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life."
Yan Chunlu’s tears fell as she thought about how she’d had a tough time recently. Her teammates criticized her, even her best friend couldn’t tolerate her actions, let alone others. Many people privately said it was because of her that three people got into trouble, and any consequences they faced were due to this explosion.
At least Bai Song’s face was ruined, and he’d been left disabled, and people were blaming her for it.
Bai Song’s words indirectly reprimanded her.
"I just want to show some care, really. After this, I won’t appear in front of you again. I’ve applied for a transfer and will be leaving here to participate in the first batch of peacekeeping training. Maybe we won’t see each other again."
Yu Shaohan looked at Yan Chunlu in shock, "You, why didn’t you tell me and your dad? We didn’t know! If I hadn’t come with you this time, would you have never planned to tell us?"
The peacekeeping mission goes to conflict areas, and frankly, China doesn’t have experience with peacekeeping observers yet! This is the first dispatch since the founding of the nation.
How could Yu Shaohan not understand the potential dangers?
"Mom, we’ll talk about it when we get back." Yan Chunlu hadn’t planned to tell her mother so soon, fearing she’d cause a scene.
After the minefield incident, she had made up her mind. She needed to grow up! To do what she should do.
"We can’t talk about this later! You have to explain it to me now. I’m telling you, if you don’t make it clear today, don’t even think about leaving here. For one man, you’re willing to abandon your parents. How do you expect us to live? Do you want to see your father and me dead before you’re satisfied?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I’m not doing this because of big brother Bai. It’s my decision. I can’t stay with you forever. I need to leave eventually. I want to grow up, to be strong, not be the unreasonable child I am now. I want to do what I should."
Yan Chunlu was also helpless, knowing her mom would react like this.
She really regretted it! If she had known, she would never have brought Yu Shaohan here.
