Chapter 801 Never Give Up
But he never gave up and had only one belief in his heart: to get the treasure, stop the enemy's conspiracy, and return home alive.
Liang Lu, who was at home, spent her days in anxiety and fear. She would stand at the door every day, looking into the distance, hoping for Qi Tongwei's return. Finally, late one night, she received a strange call. Qi Tongwei's weak voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lulu, I'm still alive..." Liang Lu cried with joy. She knew that no matter how many hardships and obstacles they had to go through, their family would eventually be reunited.
However, before her tears had completely dried, Liang Lu's heart was filled with mixed emotions. During the long and tormenting days after Qi Tongwei left, loneliness and fear followed her everywhere, and her inner defenses gradually collapsed. At this time, a woman named Ma Xiaohua and her brother Ma Longlong appeared in Liang Lu's life.
Ma Xiaohua is cheerful and lively, and can always make Liang Lu happy when she is sad. Ma Longlong is mature and steady, and helps Liang Lu a lot in life. As time goes by, Liang Lu's relationship with them becomes closer and closer, especially with Ma Longlong. A special feeling quietly grows between the two. In countless sleepless nights, Liang Lu, accompanied by Ma Longlong, gradually forgets the pain of Qi Tongwei's departure, and the balance in her heart begins to tilt slowly.
When Qi Tongwei called and told her that he was still alive, Liang Lu was struck by thunder. Her first reaction was joy, but then guilt and anxiety overwhelmed her like a tide. She looked at Ma Longlong beside her, her heart full of contradictions and struggles.
"Lulu, what's wrong?" Ma Longlong keenly noticed Liang Lu's abnormality and asked with concern.
Liang Lu hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "It's Tong Wei, he's still alive..."
Ma Longlong's face suddenly turned gloomy. He held Liang Lu's hand tightly and said, "So what? He left for so long, and you suffered so much. Have you forgotten? The days we were together were happy. Are you really willing to give up all this?"
Liang Lu burst into tears again, she didn't know how to choose. On the one hand, there was the love between husband and wife for many years, and the child's expectation for a father; on the other hand, there was the affection she had developed with Ma Longlong during this period, and the warmth and companionship he had given her.
At this time, Qi Tongwei, who was far away on the battlefield, was still immersed in the joy of returning home. Regardless of the pain in his body, he forced himself to borrow a phone from his comrade and dialed the number at home again. "Lulu, I miss you and the children so much. The conditions here are too difficult. Can you send me some delicious food to replenish my energy? I will thank you when I return." Qi Tongwei's voice was full of fatigue and expectation.
Liang Lu held the phone, her hands shaking. She looked at Ma Longlong and Ma Xiaohua sitting next to her and was speechless. Ma Longlong snatched the phone and said loudly: "Don't bother Lulu anymore! She has had enough of you, just stay outside!" After that, he hung up the phone.
Qi Tongwei was confused by this sudden change. He didn't understand why things turned out like this in just a few words. He called again, but found that the phone had been blocked. Qi Tongwei's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He vaguely felt that something big seemed to have happened at home.
In the following days, Qi Tongwei continued to deal with the enemy while trying to contact Liang Lu. He borrowed various communication tools from his comrades, but he was still unable to get in touch with his family. Liang Lu, on the other hand, decided to temporarily put aside her feelings for Qi Tongwei and try to start a new life under Ma Longlong's persuasion.
However, Liang Lu's heart could not calm down. She looked at the innocent smiling faces of the children, and her heart was full of guilt. She knew that her decision would bring great harm to the children. Whenever it was late at night, she would think of Qi Tongwei's kindness and the happy times they spent together. She began to doubt whether her choice was right, and the pain and struggle in her heart became more and more intense.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei finally found the key clue to the Mahala conspiracy on the battlefield. He went deep into the enemy camp regardless of the danger and successfully got the mysterious treasure. In the last battle with the enemy, Qi Tongwei led his comrades to completely defeat the enemy with his tenacious will and extraordinary wisdom, preventing a possible huge disaster.
The war was over, and Qi Tongwei set out on his way home with all his glory and scars. He was looking forward to reuniting with his family, but he didn't know what kind of cruel reality was waiting for him.
When Qi Tongwei finally arrived at the door of his house, he found the atmosphere at home unusually cold. He pushed open the door and saw Liang Lu with Ma Longlong and Ma Xiaohua. The moment Liang Lu saw Qi Tongwei, her face turned pale and she subconsciously took a step back.
"Lulu, I'm back." Qi Tongwei's voice was filled with fatigue and anticipation.
Liang Lu opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Ma Longlong stepped forward, stood in front of Liang Lu, and said, "Why did you come back? Lulu doesn't want to see you anymore."
Qi Tongwei looked at Ma Longlong, then at Liang Lu, and his anger burned. "What's going on? Lulu, give me an explanation!" His voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
Liang Lu burst into tears and choked up, saying, "Tongwei, I'm sorry... I was so lonely and scared when you were gone. Longlong and Xiaohua helped me a lot, and I... I've fallen in love with him."
Qi Tongwei was struck by lightning, he couldn't believe his ears. He looked at the familiar yet strange woman in front of him, the pain in his heart was beyond words. "We have been together for so many years, and you just gave up so easily? What about the children?" Qi Tongwei's voice was trembling, his eyes were full of despair.
At this time, Xiaoyu and Dawei heard the sound and ran out. When they saw Qi Tongwei, they rushed over excitedly: "Dad, you are finally back!"
Qi Tongwei hugged the children tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked at the children's innocent smiles and vowed in his heart that he would protect this family no matter what.
"Lulu, for the sake of the children, can we have a good talk?" Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu, his eyes full of pleading.
Liang Lu hesitated for a moment and nodded. She followed Qi Tongwei into the room, leaving Ma Longlong and Ma Xiaohua in the living room.
In the room, Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu sat opposite each other. Qi Tongwei told about his experience on the battlefield, the hardships and life-and-death tests, and his longing for his family. Liang Lu listened, and the guilt in her heart became more and more serious.
