When Xia Qiuran arrived at the clothing factory, she saw Yan Jun walking out of it.

She walked over to ask, but Yan Jun's eyes darted away, as if he had already guessed what Xia Qiuran was going to say.

"Comrade Yan, I've returned to the unit. They said the regimental commander has left, but they don't know the specifics. You must know, right? Can you tell me why?" Xia Qiuran walked over, her eyes full of anxiety and pleading.

They were usually quite close, and Lu Zhenghan even asked Yan Jun to handle matters concerning his own family. Xia Qiuran judged that he must know the details.

If Yan Jun refused to tell her, she had already decided to wait outside the clothing factory. Although it was a bit shameless, she had no other choice but to do so in order to find out the truth.

Yan Jun on the other side just sighed silently, paused for a moment, and said calmly.

"Come with me."

Then he took Xia Qiuran to his office, found a letter, and handed it to her.

"This is a letter Zheng Han left before he left, asking me to give it to you at the right time. Since you've come looking for me today, I think it's fate, so I'll give it to you."

Xia Qiuran quickly took the letter, opened it, and saw that it was indeed Lu Zhenghan's handwriting.

"Ranran: This may be the last time I call you that. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I'm leaving. I've been transferred to a very far place by my superiors. By the time you read this letter, I'll probably be settled there by now. The transportation there is inconvenient, so I won't tell you the address."

"Don't worry about me. I heard that the local customs and culture are very unique, and I can take the opportunity to explore them. If you need anything in the future, you can go to Yan Jun. I have already asked him to take care of you for me."

"The days I spent with you were the happiest days of my life. Although we can't be together forever, I will always remember them. You must take good care of yourself in the days to come without me by your side. I wish you a happy future. Don't worry about me, Zhenghan."

After reading the letter, Xia Qiuran gripped the corner of it tightly and stood there in a daze for a long time before she came back to her senses.

All of this happened so suddenly. Xia Qiuran was completely unprepared. How could someone just leave like that? Wasn't she supposed to be on a blind date with Nie Ru?

"Comrade Yan, why is this happening? Why was Commander Lu suddenly transferred away? And where did he go? Is it a very harsh place?" Xia Qiuran asked Yan Jun impatiently.

"He went to Suzhou, which is on the border and one of the most environmentally challenging places in our country. Actually, his departure wasn't due to anyone's transfer order, but rather his own request."

Yan Jun didn't hide anything and told Xia Qiuran everything.

"Why? Isn't the 45th Regiment doing well? Why do you have to leave?" Xia Qiuran continued to ask.

"Because he doesn't want to marry Nie Ru," Yan Jun blurted out, then began to explain slowly.

"He didn't want to marry Nie Ru, but everyone around him was urging him to do it. If he didn't, it would be like he had committed some terrible crime. He had no other choice but to do it. Zheng Han is introverted and not good with words. I actually understand his actions. If someone forced me to do something I didn't want to do, and no one stood by me, I would also be very angry."

After Yan Jun finished speaking, he sat down and glanced at Xia Qiuran. There seemed to be a hint of reproach in his tone. He had never seen Lu Zhenghan so anxious about someone. For Xia Qiuran, he was even willing to believe the ridiculous method he had made up on the spot.

He pretended to be injured to gain Xia Qiuran's sympathy; how pathetic.

This was something he would never have dared to imagine before. Lu Zhenghan, who had always been aloof and never uttered a kind word, would actually do such a thing for a girl.

But Xia Qiuran seems completely indifferent to Lu Zhenghan's efforts, always maintaining that indifferent demeanor.

Xia Qiuran was speechless for a moment. She hadn’t expected Lu Zhenghan to be under so much pressure. Originally, she thought that since she and Lu Zhenghan hadn’t been together for many days, their relationship wasn’t very deep. She thought that as time went on, Lu Zhenghan would definitely forget her.

Nie Ru is a perfect match for him in terms of social standing and is also a top-notch researcher. Even if it were someone else, they wouldn't choose her over Nie Ru.

How did her good intentions turn out like this?

"Then my family members' jobs are also his..." Xia Qiuran temporarily suppressed her inner turmoil and continued.

"Yes, he did it all. He begged me to help your brother get the gatekeeper job, and he asked Political Commissar Zhou to recommend your father for the flour mill position. He used his past military merits to get it. She said your biggest wish is for your family to be safe and well. He's about to leave, and this is all he can do. From now on, your whole family can live in the city, and you won't have to worry about your family anymore."

"As for your brother's leg surgery, he also contacted a hospital in Beijing. Apparently, there is a professor who is very skilled in this area, but he is not in the country right now. Zheng Han said that he will arrange your brother's surgery as soon as that person returns."

After Yan Jun finished speaking calmly, Xia Qiuran felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She had underestimated Lu Zhenghan's devotion and sincerity.

When Lu Zhenghan needed someone to accompany and comfort him the most, she was not by his side. Instead, she pushed him far away, leaving him to face it alone.

If she could face these challenges with Lu Zhenghan, Lu Zhenghan definitely wouldn't leave. Since becoming the regimental commander, he has always been in the 45th Regiment. Leaving here would be like leaving the home he has always lived in, and he would definitely be extremely sad.

Even though they could no longer be together in the future, Lu Zhenghan still chose to do his best to help her. This selfless love made Xia Qiuran lower her head in guilt.

"Where is Suzhou? Comrade Yan, can you tell me? And what is the specific address where the regimental commander was transferred to?"

Looking up again, Xia Qiuran asked as if she had made a big decision.

"He hasn't left yet," Yan Jun said after thinking for a moment.

Xia Qiuran's eyes instantly lit up like stars: "What? Commander Lu hasn't left yet? Where is he?"

"His train leaves at five o'clock today. If you go to the station now, you might still make it in time to see him," Yan Jun said after glancing at the time.

really?

The light in Xia Qiuran's eyes shone even brighter, as if there was renewed hope for finding something that had been lost.

She quickly checked the time; there were still 40 minutes left. Although the train station wasn't too far away, it would still be a bit too late to run there on foot.

"Comrade Yan, may I borrow your bicycle for a ride?" Xia Qiuran stepped forward and said.

"Okay, here are the car keys." Yan Jun placed the keys on the table.

He initially wanted Lu Zhenghan, that taciturn guy, to tell him everything before leaving, but Lu Zhenghan refused. Now, this is all he can do to help. As for whether they can meet, that depends on fate.
