Insufficient balance

  May 8th, 2001, 3:00 pm. A certain place on the border of Guangxi, China.

  "Boom", with a loud explosion sound, several soldiers in camouflage uniforms appeared around, their whole body was in camouflage color.

  "Captain", "Captain", several soldiers with tears in their eyes rushed frantically towards the direction of the explosion, they witnessed their captain leaving them, their captain was because a new recruit stepped on a landmine earlier, to help this new recruit escape, he himself was in danger, but ultimately did not escape this disaster! These landmines, from the first day they joined the army, someone had told them that these were left over from the anti-war period, especially in these deep mountains and forests, where you could easily stumble upon one. Coincidentally, today a new recruit stepped on one. Many things happen unintentionally.

  Wang Mingyu, male, Han nationality, 28 years old, former member of a special forces unit in the Chinese army, retired and transferred to local work. He came to a border defense detachment in Guangxi at his own request and was awarded personal second-class merit three times, collective first-class merit once, and collective second-class merit once during his tenure. Due to Comrade Wang Mingyu's sudden sacrifice, the detachment had no preparation whatsoever, as it was not a dangerous mission to begin with. However, in the face of unexpected events, the leadership of the detachment still held a memorial service for him under extremely difficult conditions, paying tribute to this glorious armed police officer who sacrificed himself for the country and the people. His story was reported several times in succession by Guangxi Provincial News. But all of this, Wang Mingyu himself would never know.

  July 1933, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Miss NIE's room.

  "Come on, girl, just give in to me already! After all, we'll be married in two days anyway! Hehe." A man who was somewhat handsome but a bit weak-looking said as he pulled at a beautiful young woman. The woman had almond-shaped eyes and single eyelids, with long hair that fell down her shoulders. Although she looked a bit frightened, she still couldn't hide her beauty.

  "Wang Mingyu, you beast! Do you know what you're doing?! I've heard others talk about you before, but I didn't dare believe it. Who would have thought that you...you...would do this to your future wife...to me...I...I'm going to tell your father, let him...let him..." As she spoke, the woman suddenly couldn't continue, stopped struggling and burst into tears, two streams of clear tears flowing down her face, pitifully lovely!

  When Wang Mingyu heard that he had to tell his father, he was clearly stunned. His two eyes rolled around and he thought to himself: "Everything else is fine, but this woman is my own fiancée! If Father finds out, won't he scold me to death? Forget it, forget it, anyway I'll just do what I want in a couple of days... Heh heh, what kind of stupid idea did Wang Jie come up with? Dammit, today I'll still go to Yixiang Garden and see if there's any new merchandise. It's really unlucky, what difference does it make whether it's two days earlier or later? There's no difference at all!"

  After figuring out this link, Wang Mingyu changed his expression to a self-righteous one and walked over, but didn't notice that the woman had already quietly picked up a wooden stick as thick as her wrist behind her back. She smiled and said: "Sisi, don't be afraid, I just came to see what you look like now, it's been many years since we last met, right? I've missed you so much!" As she spoke, she was about to reach out to help the woman up, but just as Wang Mingyu's hand was about to touch the woman's hand, she was still tense.

  "Go die!" The woman named SiSi suddenly stood up and swung a wooden stick at Wang Mingyu's back of the head.

  "Nie Sisi, you...... Ah..." Before Wang Mingyu could finish speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud and didn't make a sound for a long time.

  "Hey, hey, stop pretending and get up!" Niesi saw Wang Mingyu's state and was also panicked, hurriedly went to shake Wang Mingyu, but unfortunately, Wang Mingyu didn't move at all, with a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. Niesi was really panicked this time, if it was just a matter of punishing him by hitting him once or twice, that would be understandable, who let this person dare to do such a thing? But if they were to beat Wang Mingyu to death, then his family wouldn't care about the reason. So Niesi continued shaking and crying out for someone to come, but no one came because the future son-in-law had sent everyone away.

  Just as Nie Sisi was at a loss, Wang Mingyu suddenly moved on the ground. This made Nie Sisi extremely happy. As long as she didn't kill Wang Mingyu, everything else would be easy to handle. Besides, after telling her father about what happened, he probably wouldn't make her marry this good-for-nothing young master anymore. Because of Wang Mingyu's slight movement, Nie Sisi's heart changed from fear to a little excitement, with a sense of revenge and the joy of not marrying into a wolf's den (of course, that was what she thought).

  "Hey, Wang Mingyu, wake up! You can move now, what's with the act?" Nie Sisi shouted again, but this time without any of her previous anxiety.

  It was unclear whether it was Nie Sisi's shouting that had an effect, but Wang Mingyu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Nie Sisi, and was shocked. He then smiled and said, "I'm not dead yet?"

  "Yes, I'm soft-hearted and can't bear to hurt you, but if you dare do this again, I won't let you off lightly! Hmph!" Niesi said with a fierce gaze at Wang Mingyu.

  "Are you not being too kind? May I ask, who is this young lady?" Wang Mingyu asked inexplicably as he looked at Nie Sisi, who was dressed in an early 20th-century school uniform.

  "You pretend, you're pretending, do you think I won't tell your dad just because of this? Humph, the door isn't even locked now, and nothing's happened to you either. Please get out!" Niesi said as she pulled Wang Mingyu up.

  "Don't worry, miss, I'll get up myself!" Wang Mingyu said, slowly getting up. After standing up, he rubbed the back of his head and muttered to himself, "Why does the back of my head hurt so much? Didn't the landmine explode in front of me?" He looked around the room, and what he saw made him jump in fright. "This house is pretty good, but this furniture... it's too old-fashioned! Could I have been injured and then woken up somewhere else? That doesn't make sense either... there were several comrades with me when the accident happened, they wouldn't just leave me behind! And what about this woman's clothes? You can't buy clothes like that anywhere nowadays... unless it's for a movie prop!"

  Wang Mingyu subconsciously glanced at the clothes he was wearing, and this time he panicked. How did I end up wearing a Zhongshan suit too? So Wang Mingyu, who had just taken two steps out, walked back to Nie Sisi again.

  As Wang Mingyu walked over, Nie Sisi picked up the wooden stick that had just knocked Wang Mingyu unconscious again, trembling with fear and said: "You... don't come any closer, if you take one more step forward, I won't be polite!" Really scared by Wang Mingyu, she thought she had finally gotten rid of the plague, but who knew he came back after only two steps!

  "Not, not, miss, don't get me wrong, I just want to ask where this is? I'm a bit dizzy!" Wang Mingyu said hurriedly when he saw Nie Sisi being defensive towards him.

  "What? What place is this? This is my home, you came yourself and don't know? Don't be so glib, hurry up and leave!" Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu with a polite tone, somewhat puzzled, although not as scared as before, but still vigilant.

  "No, no, I just want to ask where this place is, not asking about your home, but the name of the location. And what year is it this year? I don't remember anything!" Wang Mingyu asked anxiously, as this was a matter of great importance to himself. Although he had a faint premonition that he had traveled through time and space, before confirming it, he still had a thread of lucky psychology.

  "Don't you remember? You really don't remember?" Niesi looked at Wang Mingyu, who didn't seem as anxious as before, and his tone was still quite sincere. She hesitated in her heart, "Could it be that I beat him into this state? Lost his memory? What can be done about it? Ah, anyway, since he's lost his memory, he won't think of me as the one who hit him!"

  "I really don't remember, miss! I don't even know who I am right now!"

  "Alright, I'll tell you. This year is the 22nd year of the Republic, this place is Ningbo, Zhejiang, and this is our family home, Nie Manor! You are Wang Mingyu." Nie Sisi saw that Wang Mingyu really seemed to have amnesia, but she didn't dare to mention that she was his fiancée. Who knows what would happen if he remembered that? With the temperament of the person in front of her, it's really not something to be proud of.

  "In the 22nd year of the Republic? In 1933!" Wang Mingyu muttered to himself, seemingly pondering something.

  "Right, it was in 1933, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Nie Sisi asked Wang Mingyu, who looked puzzled.

  "Ah, no, no, thank you miss, excuse me, miss, do you know how to get to my house?" After a while, Wang Mingyu managed to squeeze out a sentence that made Nie Sisi laugh.

  "Alright, alright, your follower Wang Jie is still in my living room, you can follow him back and see for yourself!" Nie Sisi said with a smile, now that the crisis was over, her mood was still not bad, although she disliked this fiancé of hers, but looking at him like this made her want to laugh.

  Wang Mingyu was also stunned by Nie Sisi's smiling face, who doesn't love to look at a beauty? Nie Sisi saw Wang Mingyu like that and suddenly couldn't breathe, hurriedly letting Wang Mingyu out, thinking: "Already lost memory, still so lustful!"

  Not bad, this Wang Mingyu is not that Wang Mingyu. The current Wang Mingyu is a genuine crosser, Border Defense Corps Lieutenant Colonel Wang Mingyu. After leaving Nie Sisi's door, he stood outside for a while before clearing his head, and the memories in his original brain slowly resurfaced. After a while, Wang Mingyu blurted out: "This beast!", Ah, ah, it's all himself being scolded!

  Another morning, Wang Mingyu looked at the door and smiled wryly. "Arranged marriage? Ha! I didn't expect that after crossing over to this era, I'd still encounter such an absurd thing! Never mind, judging from Ning Sisi's attitude earlier, she probably doesn't want to marry me either. If it were the original owner of this body, I'm afraid no one would be willing to marry him! It's better to call off the engagement now, we can't delay Miss Ning's future. Besides, this era isn't a good one - 1933? Just a few years later and Japan will be at its most rampant. How can we start a family with external enemies still present? What should I do? If I were to continue being like the original Wang Mingyu, bullying men and being arrogant as a spoiled brat, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it! Why? Because I'm a soldier born under the red flag, raised in new China. Alright, let's go home first!"

  After tidying up her thoughts a bit, she immediately walked towards the living room where Wang Jie was.
