Why did he have such a sense of familiarity? Why not only did this female soldier’s voice sound like his wife, even her side-face resembled his wife!
When Fu Yusheng asked her, his voice trembled intensely; he didn’t know why he was like this, looking at the female soldier’s side-face, listening to her voice, as if his wife was standing right before his eyes, like all those years ago when they first met.
Yet the female soldier in front of his eyes was too young, from their age, she didn’t match with his wife, but why did they sound so familiar and had such a similar side-face.
Maybe, this was the mystery behind relationships of blood, even though they had never seen each other before, even though they didn’t know the other existed. But on some day, some moment, some happenstance encounter, another accidental gaze, then a strong sense of familiarity washed over them.
That is the marvel behind blood relations, so marvelous that Fu Yusheng didn’t even know where his wife was right now if she was living fine, and why she hadn’t contacted him. Did she marry and become another man’s wife a long time ago… In these situations that he didn’t even know about, a terrifying thought suddenly sprouted in his heart.
When that thought appeared, he couldn’t control himself any longer.
As his heart no longer controlled himself, Chief Engineer Fu stared burningly at the female soldier whose head was still lowered; he suppressed the violent, throbbing waves in his heart, as well as the unspeakable expectation he had, then said: “You have a voice similar to my wife, and your side-face resembled hers, but she had gone missing for a whole twenty-one years. I’ve always been looking for her, but I never had her news… could you please raise your head and let me take a look, can you?”
In the end, he even treaded lightly with his questions, afraid that he’ll disturb Ye Jian.
Nobody disturbed them; his reaction had made the special forces soldiers of the Elite Platoon to gently hold their breaths; it was obvious, Blue Bird’s father, Chief Engineer Fu, must have realized something, but he couldn’t believe it, and he needed to verify it.
It really was unbelievable, Blue Bird hadn’t said anything, yet Chief Engineer Fu had turned agitated just from her voice and her side-face.
It would be a good thing if they reunited as well when Blue Bird heard that her father was among the hostages they needed to rescue before leaving the country; oh that tiny face of hers suddenly drained of blood and became as pale as paper, not even an ounce of blood was left.
This time, the uninformed Chief Engineer Fu realized something was amiss by himself; them reuniting would happen very naturally now.
The throbbing in Ye Jian’s heart was no less than Chief Engineer Fu’s; maybe she was even more agitated, after hearing the expectations in his voice, and hearing the cautiousness in his words, even hearing his nervousness…
This was her father, her father whom she had finally met after two lives, affable, wise, and filled with fatherly love.
She slowly raised her head; Chief Engineer Fu, who was half-squatting in front of her, could only feel his heart being gripped by an invisible hand; this was the second time that his heart panicked in his entire life.
The first time was him being told that his wife was no longer in the military, and god knows where she went, a sense of panic washed over him like a tsunami, causing him to lose his sense of rationality to search for her, no longer able to focus on his work.
The second time was when he waited for the female soldier in front of him to raise her head, she moved very slowly, as if waiting for something, or if she was like him, expecting something, deathly afraid that the moment they had waited for, everything they had wanted for to suddenly vanish, and bear an unbearable pain.
Chief Engineer Fu tightly clenched his fists as she slowly raised her head; his gaze saw a different skin color that was completely different to her face complexion and saw what had made his tightly suppressed emotions to gush out like a bursting dam, causing him to lose control and widen his eyes, his clenched hands suddenly wrapped around her shoulders.
