The solider

Liang You Jin drove Jiang Nian home.

Jiang Nian holds the bear that Liang You Jin got for her as both of them stand outside of her house.

"I'm gonna head in now," she said to him.

He looks at her and didn't say a word. Seeing that Liang You Jin didn't say anything, Jiang Nian turns and starts walking in. But in the next second, Liang You Jin pulls her into his arm.

"How long are you going to make me wait?" he asks her.

"What do you mean how long?" she asks, even though she knows what he meant.

"I don't have much patience. Don't make me wait too long," he said to her and then kissed her on the forehead.

Jiang Nian blushed and quickly runs back in.

Liang You Jin watches her go inside and smiles. As he turns back to walk home, he notices his brother standing there.

Liang Chen Yu gives him a look with a smile. He never saw his brother like this, so he was surprised but happy for him.

"Together?" he asks Liang You Jin.

"Not yet."

Liang Chen Yu then gives him a confusing stare. "Why? Don't Jiang Nian like you?"

Liang You Jin didn't answer him. Liang Chen Yu walks beside him, "it's not possible though. Are you not attractive anymore?" He looks at his brother and then shakes his head.

Liang You Jin looks at him, "Get out my way!"

Both Jiang Nian's parents sat in the living room, as they saw Jiang Nian coming back with a big teddy bear.

"Do you think they're dating?" Heng Xiu asks her husband.

"I don't know." Jiang Qiao Shuo said with a jealous tone.

Heng Xiu noticed the way her husband is acting and laughing. "One day our daughter will be married. Are you going to be like this?" she asks him in a teasing way.

"I don't care. At least right now, she's not getting married yet." Jiang Nian is his only daughter, and of course, he gotta make sure the man she's with is good to her.

Three days have passed, and Jiang Nian hasn't seen Liang You Jin since. But from time to time, she would receive messages from Liang You Jin.

"Dr. Jiang! Dr. Zhang needs you!" a nurse came into the room and tells her.

Jiang Nian puts down her phone and ran out.

The ER is always the busiest department in the hospital. On the other hand, Liang You Jin got a mission. He didn't get to wait for Jiang Nian to reply back to him and shut his phone.

"Bro!" Lu Nan came from the back and pats Liang You Jin's shoulder. Lu Nan is the subordinate that went with him to the hospital last time.

"Are you not going to give a call to sister-in-law?" he asks in a teasing way.

Liang You Jin gives him a side-eye. "She's busy." Noticing the way Liang You Jin said it, Lu Nan stops walking.

"Did you try though? Usually, our mission lasts pretty long, and we are never sure of when we will back." Lu Nan said and then went to change.

Liang You Jin thought about his words and then takes out his phone. This is the first time he ever calls someone to tell them that he'll be on a mission. He has never done this before, not even to his parents.

Jiang Nian's phone starts vibrating, but because she's trying to save the patient, she couldn't go pick it up. After about five rings, the phone call ended.

"She didn't pick up?" as Lu Nan came back out changed. Liang You Jin didn't say a word and went into change.

Liang You Jin wants to try again, but if she's busy then he decided to message her instead.

Two hours later,

Jiang Nian finally had her break. She went back to the break room and sat down in her chair. Zhang Ruo Han came in and gives her a bottle of water.

Jiang Nian didn't hesitate and takes it. She's so hungry and tired right now that she drank the whole bottle.

"Go home and rest," he said to her.

Jiang Nian looks at the time. It's 5 pm. Her shift doesn't end till 7 pm.

Jiang Nian shakes her head. "It's fine. I still have two hours before my shift is over."

She then remembers her phone rang before. Jiang Nian takes out her phone from her pocket, but the screen is black.

Zhang Ruo Han seems to know what she's looking for and pass her the charger.

"Thank you." Jiang Nian takes it and quickly charges her phone.

There were a missed call and message from Liang You Jin. She opens the message:

*Jiang Nian, I was trying to reach you before but I know you are busy. Just wanted to tell you that I'll be on my mission by the time you see this. By the time I come back, will you give me an answer? I'll be waiting for you.*

Jiang Nian reads the message and knows what he's referring to. It's been only three days, and he already can't wait? Jiang Nian still remembers the time he rejected her. She thought about if she was ready to forgive him and accept him.

The door suddenly opens and a nurse came in.

"Dr.Zhang! Outside came a lot of injuries. And one of them is a soldier!"

Jiang Nian's heart almost fell when she heard it. She doesn't why she's having this weird feeling. Before Zhang Ruo Han could say anything, Jiang Nian already ran out the door.

The ER is filled with people and the soldier that the nurse said is behind the curtains. Jiang Nian opens the curtain and walks in.

Inside layed Liang You Jin.
