After Xiao Yue left the army, he drove directly to Su Nuo's Ling Yun Zither Shop. Xiao Yue did not enter the zither shop. Instead, he parked his car on the roadside at the entrance of the zither shop and sat in the car waiting for Su Nuo to get off work.

When Su Nuo got off work in the evening, as soon as she walked out of the zither shop, she saw Xiao Yue's brown SUV parked there.

"Xiao Yue," Su Nuo approached Xiao Yue's car. "Why are you here today?"

Xiao Yue had been thinking about what Xing Yang had said to him while he was waiting for Su Nuo. "I came to pick you up from work, and there were some things I wanted to tell you."

"Alright," Su Nuo pulled open the passenger door and got into the car. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

'"That day, why didn't you ask Tianyu to send you back?" Xiao Yue asked straightforwardly.

"Xing Yang told you, right?" Su Nuo looked out of the window.

"Yes, he said that you refused Tianyu to send you back." Xiao Yue wanted to know Su Nuo's true thoughts, but he didn't know how to ask.

"Xiao Yue, let me ask you, why did you come here to ask me this question?" Su Nuo did not answer.

"I think that since Tianyu likes you, you should accept it and get along well with him." Xiao Yue said, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. This was the first time he had such a feeling.

"Should I accept that Tianyu likes me? Why? Do I have to be with someone I don't like?" Su Nuo was very angry. She did not understand why Xiao Yue had pushed her out because she was already so obvious. "Could it be that I can't be with the person I like?"

'"Su Nuo, I, I can't respond to you. There are some things you don't know," Xiao Yue didn't want to tell Su Nuo about his past miserable experience.

'"Did I force you to respond to me? I just want to be with someone I like and do something I like, can't I?" Su Nuo was so angry that tears kept rolling in her eyes, and her breathing became rapid.

"What about Tianyu? I don't want to lose a friend," Xiao Yue didn't know what to say.

"I know. You think friends are the most important thing. It's not worth losing a friend for me, is it?" Su Nuo's tearful eyes stared fiercely at Xiao Yue. "Xiao Yue, I don't want you to have a grudge with Ning Tianyu. I just want to be with the person I like. Could it be me? Am I wrong?"

"No," Xiao Yue almost blurted out, "Of course not. I know it's my problem. It's always been my problem, not yours. But I can't answer you. Don't you think it's not worth it?"

'"I don't care about that. People like me don't know if they can live tomorrow after they live today. I just want to obey my will and do whatever I want. Xiao Yue, you can not respond or even reject me, but please don't say anything like this today in the future." Su Nuo wiped her tears with a tissue. Take a deep breath and try to calm yourself down.

"Su Nuo, you will definitely live a good life. I just think that you should be worth it." Xiao Yue faced Su Nuo's tears and his heart pulled together.

'I don't need you to think. I just need to think for myself,' Su Nuo unbuckled her seat belt. 'Is that all you came to tell me? If you're done, I'll get out of the car. It's too stuffy here.'

Just as Su Nuo was about to push open the car door and get out of the car, Xiao Yue tightly gripped her hand.

'"Don't go, I'll send you back," Xiao Yue said in a low voice. "You don't like it, I won't say it again in the future. I don't want to make you angry, I won't say these words again today, I'm sorry."

Su Nuo hesitated for a long time and did not leave. She just sat motionlessly on the passenger seat.

After Xiao Yue fastened her seat belt, he started the car. The two of them were speechless.

Every time Xiao Yue turned his head, he would see Su Nuo close his eyes and fall asleep. There were traces of tears on his calm face.

It wasn't until Xiao Yue drove down to Su Nuo's house that Xiao Yue loosened his seat belt and got off the car that he said in a low voice, "Su Nuo, I don't know when I'll be able to break the obstacle in my heart to respond to you, but I, I will work hard."

Su Nuo forced a smile and said, "There's no need to force it. Everyone just let nature take its course."

After saying this, Su Nuo walked into the building without looking back.

Xiao Yue waited until Su Nuo's room lit up before starting the car and returning to his unit.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Yue thought quietly for a long time. He understood Su Nuo's intentions and the meaning of what she said. She had no expectations of herself, just wanted to love her unilaterally.

Xiao Yue didn't understand when all of this started, when Su Nuo started to like him, and when he couldn't let go of that girl anymore.

Xiao Yue remembered Su Nuo staring at him with tears in her eyes in the car in the afternoon. At that time, he clearly wanted to comfort her and help her wipe away her tears, but he just sat there like a piece of wood and did nothing.

Xiao Yue imagined Su Nuo's appearance in his mind. He wanted to express his feelings to the imagined Su Nuo, but his mouth was still half open. He couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, Xiao Yue clenched his right hand tightly and smashed the bed board fiercely.

This was the first time since that incident that Xiao Yue deeply felt the pain and confusion caused by this obstacle.

The next morning, when Xiang Wenjie came to the office to look for Xiao Yue, he discovered that Xiao Yue was actually wearing a training uniform and was sitting on an office chair with sweat all over his head.

"You, you went to morning exercises?" Xiang Wenjie asked uncertainly.

Xiao Yue didn't want to say that he had been training on the training ground all night until dawn. "Hmm, it's been a long time since I've practiced. I feel like my entire body is going to stiffen."

Xiang Wenjie originally thought that the more Xiao returned from morning practice, the more he realized that something was wrong. "I think you are stronger than many people here even if you don't practice for a year. If you continue to practice like this, no one here will be able to match you," Xiang Wenjie thought. "How long have you been practicing?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yue stood up and hid the blisters and scars on his hands.

"You didn't train all night, did you?" Xiang Wenjie felt that if he hadn't trained hard all night, Xiao Yue's palm wouldn't have formed blisters.

"How could that be? I just woke up early and went to the training ground to practice for a while. I guess the skin on my hand was worn off after a long time," Xiao Yue said as he wiped his body and changed his clothes.

"It's good that you're fine," Xiang Wenjie felt relieved when he saw Xiao Yue's calm expression. "Training will start today. Don't break yourself. If that's the case, there won't be anyone to teach those recruits a lesson."

'"Don't worry, I know what to do." Xiao Yue put on clean clothes and wiped his sweaty hair with a towel. "Let's go and train the recruits."

Xiang Wenjie nodded as he followed Xiao Yue out of the office and began to prepare the necessary items for his training.
