Bang!

The door opened, and a crisp sound rang out-

"Mom, I'm back."

"Xixi, you're back. Come in quickly, mom will introduce you to a brother for you to meet." Wang Ru smiled.

Then, a girl in a blue and white school uniform walked in.

A fair face with a bright and pure smile, as she walked in, the originally dull and sad atmosphere in the room was wiped out, and the whole room seemed to become brighter under the rendering of her smile.

"Mom, what brother?" the girl asked in confusion.

"Come on, come here."

Wang Ru smiled and pulled the girl to Ye Junlang, and then said, "This is Brother Ye who you have seen the photos, and it is your brother's comrade in the army. He is here to visit us."

The girl stared at Ye Junlang with bright pupils, and then she smiled excitedly and said, "Wow, it's really Brother Ye. She looks younger and more handsome than in the photo. By the way, Brother Ye, where are my brothers? Is my brother back too? Where is he?"

Ye Junlang's face was stunned. He looked at the impatient face of the girl in front of him and couldn't help but say, "You are just Xixi, right? Your brother often mentions you to me. Your brother is—"

"Xixi, this time, only Junlang came here alone. Your brother, he has no holidays and has not come back." Song Hui interrupted Ye Junlang's words, then he looked at Ye Junlang and continued, "Junlang, this is the little girl Song Yuxi. She is in her third year of high school this year and is already preparing for the exam."

Ye Junlang secretly winked when he noticed that Song Hui was talking to him.

At that moment, Ye Junlang understood-Song Yuxi didn't know about her brother's sacrifice!

After recalling what Song Hui said in the end, Ye Junlang understood why Song Hui and his wife had been hiding the truth from Song Yuxi, because Song Yuxi was in her third year of high school and was about to face the college entrance examination.

When he was in the Longying Organization, Ye Junlang had heard Gangzi say many times that his sister's grades were very excellent and she was basically the first in the school in the exam. If she maintained such grades, she would definitely be admitted to the best university in China.

Song Hui and his wife deliberately concealed the sacrifice of Gangzi, thinking that they were worried that it would affect Song Yuxi's academic performance.

With Song Yuxi's deep brother-sister relationship with her brother, she really knew such news and would definitely collapse. Under that kind of blow, she would be unable to recover. If that sudden grief hit her, if she could not get out of the shadow in her heart, her grades would still be lighter, which would be a big deal, and she would be unable to think about it.

Poor parents in the world!

After thinking through this, Ye Junlang looked at Song Hui and Wang Ru, thinking that it was really difficult for them. On the one hand, they had to bear the pain of losing their son secretly, and on the other hand, they had to pretend to be nothing in front of Song Yuxi. This was really difficult and painful.

However, for the sake of their daughter's future, they will endure it even if they hurt them.

For a family like them, the best future for their daughter is to get into a good university. They have lost a son. If they destroy their daughter's future, they are afraid that they will not be able to forgive themselves.

This is a good intention, and it also demonstrates the greatness of parents.

Ye Junlang was originally curious why he didn't see Gangzi's portrait in the room, but now he understands it.

Of course, the main reason why Song Hui and the others were able to hide this news is that Gangzi is a soldier of the Longying organization and his identity information is kept confidential. When Gangzi died, the relevant person in charge of the State Military Department had notified Song Hui by phone, and Gangzi's body was buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery and was not sent back to his hometown for burial, so that Song Yuxi could be hidden.

"Xixi, I'm really sorry, your brother has no holiday, so I'm the only one here. However, your brother has also prepared some gifts for you and asked me to bring them back for you." Ye Junlang smiled and told a kind lie.

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Song Yuxi's fair and pretty face. She pouted and said, "Brother, don't have a holiday? I haven't seen my brother in a long time, and I miss him very much."

"Your brother misses you very much, and in the army, he said that the person he loves the most is you." Ye Junlang said with a smile.

Song Yuxi nodded and couldn't help asking, "Then where is my brother now? Or is he in the army?"

Ye Junlang thought for a while and said, "Your brother was sent abroad to take on a very important responsibility. Such an opportunity can be said to be one in a million. Look, I was not selected, but your brother was selected. So, you should be proud of your brother. He is very outstanding and a real soldier! No matter where he is or how far he goes, he will think of you."

Song Yuxi's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "My brother is so powerful? He went abroad, wouldn't it take a long time to go?"

"I don't know much about it for confidentiality. However, the tasks sent abroad are basically over a year or two." Ye Junlang said.

"It's been a long time..." Song Yuxi's cheek was filled with helplessness. Finally, she smiled and said, "Where is the gift my brother gave me?"

“Here.”

Ye Junlang smiled and took out a bag containing some accessories for girls and some specialties.

He bought these, and he didn't know how to give a little girl what gifts to him, so he simply bought some.

Before he came, he didn't know that Song Yuxi didn't know that her brother died in battle, so in the end he went with the flow and said that these gifts were bought by Gangzi and asked him to bring them to Song Yuxi.

It can be seen that Song Yuxi likes it very much. Even simple accessories, she regards them as treasures, which shows that in her heart, her brother's position is extremely important.

Seeing this scene, Ye Junlang felt guilty again. This was a lively, kind and simple girl. I don’t know what her reaction would be after one day she knew the truth.

All Ye Junlang could do was to replace Gangzi's position, take good care of Gangzi's parents, and protect the girl in front of her so that she could grow up well.

Next, Song Yuxi pestered Ye Junlang and kept asking Ye Junlang about some things in the army, learning about her brother's performance in the army, etc.

If you can say anything, Ye Junlang will try his best to tell Song Yuxi.

For example, some things Gangko has during training, some trivial matters in life, etc. Of course, he will not disclose a single word when it comes to confidential tasks and actions.

Song Yuxi listened with relish, and the smile on her face was always filled with joy.

Song Hui and Wang Ru looked at each other and saw the feeling of relief in their eyes.

"Oh, what time is it now? I haven't cooked yet! I'll cook now." Wang Ru reacted suddenly, stood up quickly, and walked towards the kitchen.

Song Hui also stood up and said, "Junlang, I'll have dinner at home tonight. I'll go out to buy some vegetables first. You can chat with Xixi first."

"Uncle Song, you don't have to buy any vegetables, just have some home-cooked dishes." Ye Junlang said with a smile.

"Good, okay."
