Chapter 3120 Until She Died
When she came back, she saw a tall flight attendant standing beside her seat. When she saw her coming over, she handed her a glass of milk. "Have a glass of milk. It'll help you sleep."
As it turned out, after she went to the bathroom, the passengers on the other side of the aisle called for a flight attendant and asked for a glass of milk for Ye Jian.
The warmth from strangers and the concern from the people protected by all the soldiers warmed Ye Jian's heart.
J5 had said that this was the country they were protecting as well as the people they were protecting. It was worth it even if they had to sacrifice for them.
After drinking the milk, Ye Jian didn't fall asleep. But she didn't cry anymore. She closed her eyes and recalled everything she had done with J5. From the moment she got on the plane to the moment she got off the plane, she didn't sleep for a second.
J5's body was secretly sent back to the country on the morning of the third day. When it arrived at the military airport, it was snowing heavily. The cold wind carried large amounts of snowflakes as it whistled past. The world used the purest color to welcome the martyr back to the country.
This was Ye Jian's third time facing sacrifices. The first two times, they were comrades who she met by chance. Their relationship wasn't that close. This time... the one who had died was her comrade who had fought alongside her. A comrade who had a deep friendship with her was sacrificed. She stood in the snow and wind. The moment she saw J5's body that was covered with the bright red flag get carried off the plane, Ye Jian felt her figure swaying violently.
"Salute!"
A bright sound came from the front. It was like the bell of heaven and earth. It was filled with sorrow as it welcomed their martyr back to the country.
All the comrades from the Xueyu unit who weren't on a mission were present. They all cried when they heard that a comrade had died.
As the only female soldier in the Xueyu unit, Ye Jian personally wore the medal for J5, who seemed to be sleeping with a smile on his face. "J5, your captain should've worn this for you, but our comrades said that since I'm the only female soldier in our team, I should help you wear it. Please don't mind it!
"Sleep well. Sleep well underground. Don't worry about what's going on outside. We're here. We have guns, cannons, bullets, and the strongest national power. We'll definitely guard this country you love and the people you love.
"We will carry on your last wish until we die."
J5, who had thick eyebrows and a handsome nose bridge, was lying in the coffin in his favorite military uniform. There was a faint smile on his lips. He didn't look like he had been sacrificed. He looked like he was sleeping soundly. It was as if he would wake up when he had enough sleep and greet his comrades warmly.
The north wind blew, and sorrow spread for thousands of miles. Snowflakes landed on J5's face, gently decorating his pale and resolute handsome face. Ye Jian gently brushed away the snowflakes that touched his skin but didn't melt. Her heart tightened.
These snowflakes told her that J5 wasn't sleeping soundly. Instead... he had stopped breathing forever.
The medal was already on. Ye Jian gently covered J5 with the bright red flag. Then, she stood up and raised her hand to salute him.
Just as the coffin lid was closed and it was about to be sent to the funeral home, sorrowful cries came from behind the rows of soldiers. The cries made the world pale in comparison.
J5's family had arrived. There was also a woman who had always liked J5 but was rejected by him. She was still waiting for him lovingly.
J5 had an elder sister and a younger brother. His elder sister was already married and had children. His younger brother had also been working for two years. His parents didn't like city life and had always lived in the mountain village. Every time their second son was mentioned, their faces would be filled with pride.
How could they not be proud of the first university student in the village?n.(0VelbIn
