Or was it that he went and came back safely?
Jiang Yao was furious with herself, why did she not spend more time with Lu Xingzhi before?
"I don't know how long I will be gone for this mission. Why don't you go back to school after I leave? At least you have your friends there with you." Lu Xingzhi had to go on this mission, not just because of the trust and hope his superiors had in him, but also, Old General Liang was one of the hostages.
His military career was smooth sailing mainly because of the Liang family. Old General Liang and Mr. Liang treated him just like one of their own. Ever since he was in school, Old General Liang taught him many things.
They were not only his elders; they were also his mentors.
Lu Xingzhi did not know when he would be back. He was not comfortable leaving Jiang Yao alone in the platoon, concerned that Chen Feibai would take his absence as an opportunity to harass Jiang Yao. He was also worried that she would get lonely and start to overthink matters.
"I am not going back!" Jiang Yao shook her head. "I will be here waiting for you to return!"
Jiang Yao was steadfast in her decision. She could not stop Lu Xingzhi from joining the rescue mission, at least she could stay here and wait for him to come back.
"Listen, Lu Xingzhi! I want you to come back the way you leave, in good shape!" She only wanted him to be safe, even if it meant not being able to be a hero on the battlefield.
