"I am like you, lonely and helpless, laughed at by others, but never gave up. Sun Chan, you must also be strong and look ahead. Your parents must love you as much as my mother loves me; they just can't protect you. You have to live well to reassure them."
Sun Chan nodded, tears silently falling down. This was a knot in her heart for two lifetimes, which only Gu Junming could see.
Watching Sun Chan with her face like a pear blossom in the rain, Gu Junming felt a slight tremor in his heart and wanted to wipe away her tears. But he worried about startling her and could only comfort her gently.
"Don't cry, I won't talk about this anymore..."
Sun Chan wiped her eyes and smiled apologetically, "Thank you, Deputy Battalion Commander. From now on, I won't think about my past anymore."
"That's good." Gu Junming coughed a few times, "People must look forward."
"And what about those who raised you? How are they?" Sun Chan couldn't help but ask.
