Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1097 (One Thousand and Ninety-Seven) Accompanying the Battle
Wu Xunsheng, who was still in pain at this time, was not sure how long he could live, but he did not want to say discouraging words, so he said to her: "Thank you for promising me! I must recover quickly, so that... so that... in the future... I can help you realize your ideals, and share with you the pain that you can't say but can only bear silently... after I get better, I will always... always stand by your side! Do you remember, that... that time... before you led the troops to fight the monster, I said: 'You practice martial arts, I can be your sparring partner; you go to the battlefield, but I can't be your sparring partner.' At that time... I thought... you would only go... to the battlefield... when you led the troops to fight the monster. Actually... actually... for you... the scope of the battlefield... is very vast. For so many years, you... you have always... always been... We all live on another kind of battlefield, and that other kind of battlefield is also... it is also a matter of life and death. In the invisible smoke of gunpowder... you... you still hold your Phantom Sakura Spear and move forward bravely... When you are injured, you... you endure the pain and try to heal yourself... The old wounds that have not yet healed are injured again, again and again... No matter how painful it is, you... endure it silently. I believe that in the future... the situation will be different, and you will have me by your side to fight with you - a companion who will pay attention to his own behavior, will not be "in the way, will not make things worse", and will not bring you a burden... a companion. I finally... finally became your companion! From now on, as long as... as long as I am still alive, then... on that other battlefield, you... you will always have me by your side to fight with you, always!"

While saying these words, Wu Xunsheng once again thought of Tie Hongyan's difficulties that were unknown to others. He also thought that he didn't know how long he could live, and the tears that had been in his eyes fell.

Tie Hongyan felt very complicated after hearing what he said. Every word he said hit her heart. Over the years, she had long been accustomed to silently bearing all that. At this moment, the person who had grown up with her since she was seven years old suddenly spoke of her difficulties and said that he would share her burden and accompany her in the battle from now on. This really touched her heart and even made her want to cry. However, at the same time, she thought of other things that immediately controlled her impulse.

She thought: Why did he suddenly say these words? He mentioned my ideal again, but did he know what my ideal was? If he didn't know, why would he say that? Could it be that... no matter what my ideal was, he would support it, so the "ideal" he mentioned didn't actually point to anything more specific? But... but when he said that, it was obviously not like he knew nothing! But how could he know? If he really knew something... if... no... I couldn't think of this possibility... if he really knew something, it would be too terrifying!

Tie Hongyan's heart was already surging, but she still maintained an indifferent look, looking very calm. She quickly took out a brand new handkerchief from her pocket and wiped away his tears - just like he wiped her tears when he took care of her after she was seriously injured on the battlefield.
