Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Confession

"I am like you, lonely and helpless, laughed at by others, but never gave up. Sun Chan, you must also be strong and look ahead. Your parents must love you as much as my mother loves me; they just can’t protect you. You have to live well to reassure them."

Sun Chan nodded, tears silently falling down. This was a knot in her heart for two lifetimes, which only Gu Junming could see.

Watching Sun Chan with her face like a pear blossom in the rain, Gu Junming felt a slight tremor in his heart and wanted to wipe away her tears. But he worried about startling her and could only comfort her gently.

"Don’t cry, I won’t talk about this anymore..."

Sun Chan wiped her eyes and smiled apologetically, "Thank you, Deputy Battalion Commander. From now on, I won’t think about my past anymore."

"That’s good." Gu Junming coughed a few times, "People must look forward."

"And what about those who raised you? How are they?" Sun Chan couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Junming said, "They live in the village next to yours, Xiangyang Village. Both of them are quite old. My father is in poor health and can’t do much of the farm work. After helping you with your matter, I’ll also visit them and help with the autumn harvest at home. Oh, I have an elder sister whose husband used to hit her. I insisted on their divorce, and now she lives with our family and takes care of her children. My nephew studies quite well. As long as he wants, I’ll support his education."

Sun Chan nodded. She already knew this from when Gu Junming was seeing Wang Dan. But suddenly she wondered why Gu Junming was detailing these matters, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I want to provide for them in their old age. In my eyes, they are my true parents. You... you won’t disdain my family situation, will you?" After saying this, Gu Junming’s face turned red, but fortunately, his skin was dark, so it wasn’t too noticeable.

Sun Chan’s ears turned red; the implication was too clear.

The progress seemed too fast. Could it be her misunderstanding? Her mind was in
