Sudden Happiness

  At this time, the seven of them had already come down from upstairs. Nine big men and two beauties, we eleven people sat around a large round table.

  Tian Huo was walking around with his sleeves rolled up, the wound on his arm had been bandaged.

  Seventh stood up, raised his wine glass, "The first cup, congratulations to us, victorious return!"

  "Victory is ours!" We all stood up and raised our glasses, shouting loudly.

  Qī hào yòu dǎo le yī bēi, "zhè dì èr bēi jiǔ ma?" Qī hào dùn le yī xià, "guǎn tā ne! Xiān hē le zài shuō!"

  Translation:

  Number Seven poured another cup. "What about this second cup of wine?" Number Seven paused for a moment, "Who cares? Let's drink first and talk later!"

  We drained our cups in one gulp again.

  Yao Ting also raised her glass, "We all came out together, welcome you to my place, celebrate your successful attack this time, now basically achieved the goal, I believe we are not far from success, let's have a drink!"

  We raised our glasses and took another sip.

  "I said let's just have a meal, why so many rules? Can't we just eat our fill and be done with it? Why all the fuss?" Miao Qian picked up some food with her chopsticks on one side, ignoring us, and started eating directly.

  Zhao Kaiqing sat next to Miao Qian and also chimed in, "Right, what's the point of so much nonsense! We're starving after not eating for several days, what's the point of drinking so much wine!" Zhao Kaiqing once again displayed his shameless behavior, and we were all too lazy to bother with him. Although sometimes I'm a bit shameless too, I still think I'm more dignified than him.

  Today's meal is actually pretty good, I really didn't expect this guy could cook, I underestimated him a bit.

  After dinner, we planned to go back, and Tian Huo stayed here to rest, after all, he could be considered a wounded soldier.

  This gunshot wound was originally not a big deal, Yao Ting is also a battlefield doctor, this little injury shouldn't be difficult for her to handle. Tian Huo is also obedient, after finishing dinner he went to play games and didn't do anything out of line, not even drinking a sip of alcohol.

  When I left, I specially asked Yao Ting for that book "The Funeral of Muslims". Yao Ting had agreed at first, but Miao Qian refused to agree no matter what. After my persistent persuasion for an hour, she finally agreed to give it to me on the condition that I would accompany her shopping during her vacation.

  To be honest, this is a small matter for me. As a retired soldier who has received professional training, that physical labor is nothing at all.

  When we got back to the bar that doesn't come back, it was already midnight. The bar was still noisy, I went straight through the crowd and returned to my room. I estimated that my room might have had a thick layer of dust, but when I turned on the switch, I was completely shocked.

  My room has been thoroughly tidied up, the walls have been pasted with pink wallpaper, and the bed has been replaced with a brand new soft one. The two broken chairs that used to be in the room are gone, replaced by three big sofas. My old laptop which was previously placed on a small table on the floor is now on a brand new computer desk, accompanied by a very comfortable chair. Two 1.5-meter-long teddy bears are thrown on the bed, and the quilt and sheets have been changed to new ones. There is also a decent wardrobe now.

  I took a look at the thing in front of me, retreated from the door, looked around, and only when I was sure that I hadn't entered the wrong room did it occur to me that it must have been done by Mao Mao. My heart had already been deeply moved.

  From young to old, no one has ever treated me like this. Everything I have is bought by myself. When I want something, no one gives it to me or takes me to buy it. It's all my own money and my own choice. Suddenly, being cared for by others feels so blissful, as if happiness has come too quickly, and I'm almost overwhelmed.

  I opened the closet and saw my old clothes, including my smelly socks, all clean and neatly arranged in the cabinet. There was also a brand new nightgown, which I took with me into the bathroom.

  I scrubbed my body hard, I felt like I couldn't dirty such clean sheets, my skin was all red from scrubbing, then I put on a clean nightgown and quietly slipped under the covers, feeling this sudden happiness, everything came too fast, so fast that it left me a bit bewildered.

  I picked up a book and read for a while, then Mao Mao walked in from outside. Mao Mao looked at me lying on the bed and said, "You're back!"

  "Ah! Thanks for tidying up my room!" I didn't know what else to say, so I just forced a thank you.

  Mei didn't say a word, sat down quietly and looked at me. I knew she was waiting for an answer, waiting for my answer.

  I calmed down my emotions and thought a lot, maybe Chen Xue really isn't suitable for me. I couldn't hurt this woman who loves me. I know the taste of being hurt by someone you deeply love, let alone that I also love Mao Mao.

  I knelt on the bed, grasping Mao's shoulders. "Mao! I love you, I swear, I will be good to you, I won't think of any other woman again, you are my woman, you are the woman I, Zhang Hao, am destined to protect for a lifetime. I, Zhang Hao, am willing to use my life to love and protect you. I absolutely won't let you regret being with me. I want to make you the happiest woman in the world. Believe me, I won't disappoint you."

  Her eyes turned red immediately, and she rushed over to hug me. "Do you know? I've been waiting for this sentence from you for five years already. I thought I would never get it in my lifetime. Zhang Hao, I swear, you are my first man and also my last man. I will definitely use my life to take care of you. I will always be yours, no matter what happens in the future, I will not leave you unless you don't want me."

  I gently pushed aside Mao's shoulders, stroked her face, "Fool! How could I possibly not want you? I'll love and protect you for the rest of my life!" As I said that, I rushed to kiss Mao, Mao also responded passionately, we quickly rolled together, and soon the room was filled with joyful ** sounds...

  After the passion, Mao Mao fell asleep happily in my arms. Looking at Mao Mao's happy face, I thought a lot again unintentionally.

  I used to hear people say that finding someone who loves you is more important than finding someone you love. Now I truly understand the meaning of those words. I once loved Chen Xue so deeply and sincerely, with unconditional trust in her, and made sacrifices for her sake.

  Although I was also wrong, maybe at that time I was indeed very weak, but I think my dedication to her is something no one else can do, and there will never be another person in the world who can love her and care for her like I did.

  Now, all of this is over, I will treat well the woman who has given me her everything, I absolutely cannot let her be heartbroken.

  I've always thought that in this life, there are two things that are essential: first, you must treat your parents who gave birth to and raised you well; second, you must treat the woman lying in your bed well.

  One can be shameless and despicable as a human being, but one must live up to their own conscience. Some things, once missed, cannot be made up for in a lifetime.

  Just like those women I missed out on in the past due to my stubbornness, each one was so gentle and lovely.

  As I thought about it, I hugged Mao Mao tightly and fell asleep myself.
