"Even if we all live until the day when the war is won, Anya, there may not be a final result. You know there is still a girl waiting for me to go back in distant Moscow, and I have already made a commitment to her."
Malashenko didn't think that such words could make Anya back down, but it was necessary for him to tell the truth to Anya before everything happened, so as not to let this little girl who knew nothing but loved heroes risk her future.
Got in.
What Malashenko didn't expect was that the answer Anya gave immediately after was even more explosive.
"As long as I can stay by your side, I don't care about anything else, Comrade Leader."
"...."
There is a saying in later generations that the shorter the news, the stronger the explosive effect.
Malashenko knew that he was not listening to the news now, but Anya's words also had an even more shocking explosive effect. This little girl was desperate to pursue the one she loved.
"Hey, that's all. Let's do whatever you want with the future. Let's get over the current situation first."
Malashenko, who prioritized solving the immediate problem and turned around resolutely, then lowered his head and looked directly at Anya, who was a head shorter than him. What flashed in his eyes was the answer Anya expected.
"Maybe we can't leave this city alive, but I promise you, Anya, I will stay by your side until you don't want me to, and stay where you can see me at any time, okay?"
One of the basic tricks of the masters of picking up girls is to fall out of love faster than turning over a book.
Malashenko, who had completely inherited the memories of his previous life, did not want to admit his romantic past, but now was the critical moment when he had to put them to use. He could not allow Malashenko to do anything for those who had not lived.
Don't hesitate to do more bad things.
Malashenko's change of face at the speed of light was selectively ignored by Anya, who looked like a nymphomaniac and even had some tears in her eyes.
Many years later, whenever Anya recalled this battlefield love, she couldn't help but sigh with the Russian reporter who came to interview her about the greatness and magic of love. It took her less than half a month to fall deeply in love with her.
The man who kissed me without her consent, and at the same time, the endless memories of the man who was the only love of my life who passed away.
Many people know that the so-called love is actually a dream castle built with ethereal rhetoric. Malashenko did this precisely because he knew this very well.
This has nothing to do with whether the love itself is sincere or false, as long as it is love that wants to get something, it must be done.
What does Malashenko want?
The description of getting out of trouble may not be appropriate. For now, Malashenko may just want to feel at ease because of Anya's peace of mind.
Although he is suave, Malashenko does not want to fail anyone.
Although it sounds idealistic, it is true.
Whether it is the past life of just over twenty years or the present where the memories of two overlapping timelines are merged, Malashenko, who has dual memories, has been an out-and-out idealist since he was born into this world. In order to pursue the distant future,
A person who strives for an infinitely beautiful ideal that is unattainable and spends his whole life, and implements this idealism into every aspect of his life. This has always been the case.
Anya, who had reached the ideal destination in her heart, moistened the corners of her eyes, and crystal tears flowed unstoppably from her cheeks.
Witnessing the scene in front of him, Malashenko had an indescribable taste and feeling in his heart, but in the end he reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Anya's eyes.
Malashenko doesn't want to see any girl shed tears because of his promise, whether she is sad or happy, even if it's Natalia.
After getting the answer she wanted, Anya made a move that again surprised Malashenko.
The first kiss was to save someone, but the second time the two parties' positions were reversed, and it was all because of Anya's initiative.
Looking at Anya's back waving to him and walking away, Malashenko couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his still warm lips with his right index finger. The smell of cigarettes in his mouth like an old smoker made his whole finger instantly filled with second-hand smoke.
breath.
"If I had known better, I shouldn't have smoked so much before coming here, Gan..."
Even the smell of cigarettes in her mouth is the smell of cigarettes that brings happiness to Anya. A woman immersed in love never cares about the presence or absence of these things. She is busy running back to work and jogging happily.
Explain this.
Standing at the gate, looking at the dark clouds and heavy rain in the sky, Malashenko couldn't help scratching his head.
It seems that his trip was to visit the wounded and find something to do to pass the time? But why did he have to add an extra step? Malashenko couldn't figure it out.
Alone, I held an umbrella and walked back to the temporary regiment headquarters, which was not too far away.
Political Commissar Petrov, who had a half-burned cigarette in his mouth, seemed to be writing something on his desk. When he heard Malashenko's footsteps pushing the door open, he put down his pen and turned around.
"I thought you would come back an hour ago, but I didn't expect you to stay in the field hospital for such a long time."
Commissar Petrov's half-joking did not cheer up Malashenko. Malashenko, who was a little groggy, was now filled with images of Anya.
When he thought about the distant Moscow and Natalia waiting for him to return, Malashenko suddenly felt as if his head was about to burst.
"What's wrong? With this expression on your face, is there something going on in the hospital?"
Malashenko, who was questioned for the second time by Commissar Petrov, then steeled himself and rubbed his face with both hands, forcing his brain to stay clearer, even though his facial expression still looked a little confused.
terribly upset.
"It's nothing, it's just that the hospital looks like it's about to collapse. If possible, we need to find a better indoor environment for them."
"Oh, and also, the water leakage at the hospital is quite serious. The rainwater has wetted the blankets under many of the wounded. Do we have any usable stretchers or other things like stretchers here? As long as they can be kept
Just lie on the ground and it's best to quickly organize a batch to be sent to the hospital."
Seeing Malashenko start chatting about business, Political Commissar Petrov quickly regained his composure. After a slight nod, he immediately gave Malashenko the answer in progress.
"I already discovered the problem you mentioned when I went to see him in the morning. When I came back, I went to Karamov's place. He always has all kinds of treasures there, all kinds of unexpected treasures."
"If everything goes well, Karamov told me that he will send the temporary stent bed over in the afternoon. If you go to see it again in the evening, you should get new results."
Let’s go see it again in the evening? Are you kidding me?
The proposal given by the political commissar Petrov made his whole body tremble. Malashenko estimated that if he dared to go to the hospital again at night, he might be stuck by Anya and sleep directly in the hospital.
Go out and spend the night in a single room, and you will never be alone.
