He didn't refuse. Li Ruo Bai seemed to have come by taxi. Anyway, the two of them took a taxi back, and their hands never separated.
Until entering the elevator, Li Ruo Bai used the fingerprint to unlock the phone with the other hand.
When we arrived at Li Ruo Bai's room, it still looked the same, but the lights inside the room were on. When we entered the room, Jiang Yan Hai had planned to go in barefoot, but the slippers he wore last time didn't fit.
Who knew Li Ruo Bai, with her pink cheeks, pointed to the shoe cabinet next to her with her toes and said, "There are slippers in there. I'll get you some water."
After saying that, she put on her slippers, left her back to Jiang Yan Hai and ran away.
Jiang Yan Hai opened the shoe cabinet next to him, and then he was slightly stunned. Inside were two pairs of brand new men's slippers. It looked like they had not been used at all, and one pair had been opened.
The other pair has not been opened yet and is neatly placed aside in a transparent vacuum bag.
After a pause, he took out the unsealed pair of slippers and put them on.
This place is no different from the last time I came here. I sat down on the sofa last time. Li Ruo Bai had been lingering there for a long time, and came over shyly holding a glass of water.
"Ruo Bai." Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath and said.
"Huh?" Li Ruo Bai sat down and raised her head in confusion. She felt that Jiang Yan Hai's tone was a little wrong.
"Let's talk." Jiang Yan Hai pointed to the sofa next to him.
Li Ruo Bai hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Jiang Yan Hai.
Jiang Yan Hai thought for a while, simply took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the sofa facing each other.
Li Ruo Bai hesitated for a moment, and then she simply followed the same example as Jiang Yan Hai, but she sat on the sofa with her legs together and sideways, with their knees touching each other.
"Ruobai, to be honest, I quite like you, or in other words, no one dislikes a girl like you." Jiang Yan Hai sat down, took a deep breath, and then spoke.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little nervous.
Li Ruo Bai also became nervous, and her face turned a little pale. Although Jiang Yan Hai said good things, she knew that there would definitely be a follow-up.
"But, do you think we are suitable?" Jiang Yan Hai asked with a wry smile. There were some words that he really couldn't bear to say, or rather, couldn't bear to refuse.
But if you ask him to accept it, it will be difficult for Jiang Yan Hai to bear it. He is not an indecisive person. On the battlefield, Jiang Yan Hai makes decisions more decisively than anyone else.
The problem is, he can't make decisions on this kind of thing casually. It's not just about himself.
He is also a man, and he also likes beautiful women, but people always have to control their desires, let alone, like this girl, can you bear to hurt her?
"Why is it inappropriate?" Li Ruo Bai surprisingly calmed down, instead of filling his big eyes with tears as Jiang Yan Hai thought. To be honest, Jiang Yan Hai really couldn't bear it if that scene happened.
"On my way here, my colleague, let's call him a colleague, is a provincial police officer. Because of recent events, he worked overtime for more than a month. It was difficult for him to even go home, let alone spend time with his girlfriend. So his girlfriend got angry and broke up with him."
Jiang Yan Hai thought for a while, and then said, "And to be honest, sometimes I may disappear longer than him. He works overtime and at least during some breaks, he can send WeChat messages and make phone calls to his girlfriend."
"But I have nothing. You don't know where I am, you can't contact me, there is no phone, no message, maybe for several months at a time." Jiang Yan Hai raised his head and looked at those big eyes seriously.
Unable to help but reach out and touch her hair, Jiang Yan Hai said with a wry smile, "A girl like you should find a man who loves you wholeheartedly. The one you love can accompany you to romance, see the scenery, go shopping, buy things, eat together, and love you for the rest of your life, instead of a man like me who can't stay at home for more than a few days almost a year."
Li Ruo Bai pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then said, "Maybe you are right, but what if I never meet such a person in my life? Besides, how do you know that I can give up on you so easily."
"We have only met each other a few times, but we have known each other for several months. We have had dinner three times and watched a movie once. Which couple do you think is like this?"
"And your feelings for me shouldn't be that deep. You just have a crush on me because of what happened that night, that's all." Jiang Yan Hai smiled bitterly.
"Whether it's like, love, or gratitude, I can tell clearly." Li Ruo Bai raised his head with firm eyes.
"I really don't know what you do now, but I can guess. I'm not stupid. I can understand your difficulties. But the more you think like this, doesn't it mean that you are a good man?"
"If we are together, other people's husbands only love his wives, and there is no guarantee of this. But my husband loves 1.4 billion people, and he can even use his life to love these 1.4 billion people. Do I still have to worry that he doesn't love me?" Li Ruo Bai's big eyes seem to shine brightly.
"There are so many Armed Police, policemen, soldiers, and so many police wives and military wives in the country. They can tolerate their husbands being away from home for several months, why can't I tolerate it."
"You can risk your lives outside and fight to protect us, why can't I protect this home because of you?"
"What you said doesn't make sense." Li Ruo Bai shook his head firmly.
"If you have other reasons, you can say it, but if you just want to say this, then you don't need to say it. I have already thought about it these days when you are away."
Li Ruo Bai stretched out his hand, took the initiative to grab Jiang Yan Hai's hand and said seriously.
Seeing the determined look on her face, Jiang Yan Hai suddenly smiled. After just a smile, he regained his composure. He looked at Li Ruo Bai seriously and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"What?" Li Ruo Bai asked.
"I'm 19 and you're 18. Strictly speaking, we're both still young."
"If nothing else, it's still early for the country's legal marriage age."
"Maybe one day, we haven't even waited until the age of marriage, and you won't be able to wait for me. What you are waiting for may be a photo, a suicide note, or an urn, and these... I don't want to give you. If I die, there is no need for these to exist. I hope you will be happy and happy in the future, and then live your whole life."
Jiang Yan Hai smiled and reached out to stroke her long hair and spoke softly.
Maybe he has Red Star Engine, but he doesn't know what Red Star Engine is, so Jiang Yan Hai doesn't know what he will encounter in the future. Jiang Yan Hai is even not sure whether he will suddenly leave this world one day, not the kind of death.
If it really happened, what would she do at that time?
Li Ruo Bai was immediately stunned. This was the first time Jiang Yan Hai had told her this issue so directly.
