Chapter 1461


    Erik specially called Anthea and Adam "my adoptive parents", so as to distinguish them from his


    biological father and mother. It could thus be seen that he still regarded Anthea and Adam as his


    parents in his heart.


    After hearing Erik''s narration, Crystal gradually calmed herself down.


    She clutched her coat with her fingers and listened to him silently.


    The train continued to chug on. Themplight of the dining car shone on the two of them, swaying


    like candlelight. It was such a warm and cozy environment.


    Erik continued, "Lil Star, I didn''t mean to disappearpletely from your life!


    "At that time, I went back to the teau area of Tbridge City with my biological mother. Everyone in


    my family was watching us closely, and we needed to be very cautious. If I contacted you, my family


    members and rtives would think that I didn''t want to faithfully and loyally return to my ancestral


    roots!


    Lil Star, I really didn''t want to part with you... And Mom and Dad... But...


    My father was killed on the battlefield a long time ago. I had to protect my mother for him.


    Otherwise, he would not be at ease in theherworld! Lil Star, will you forgive me?


    Crystal pursed her lips.


    Erik had his own difficulties. He didn''t heartlessly leave her behind.


    Crystal lowered her head and remained silent for a long while. Suddenly, she took two steps


    forward, stood tiptoed, and pulled off his jacket.


    The cor was wide open, revealing his camouge T-shirt inside and the bronze skin.


    Crystal looked up and down on Erik''s chest as if she was looking for something. Then, she became


    disappointed because she couldn''t find it.


    Erik took something out of his pocket and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for it?"


    He was holding a ck ne in his hand, which was woven with silk threads, and there was


    also a small lucky star linked to it.


    Crystal looked over in surprise. It was the very thing she wanted to find.


    In fact, this ne looked very ugly and rough, and it was to some extent twisted. It was indeed


    made by Crystal in the manual ss when she was still an elementary school student. She gave it


    to her brother as a present when she returned home that day. She told him that it was a lovely star.


    Crystal also ordered proudly that she wanted Erik to wear it all the time. If ever he lost it, she would


    never forgive him!


    There was a slight smile on Erik''s face now, and his eyes were full of tenderness. He said, "Soldiers


    are not allowed to carry ornaments with them in the army, but I have always carried this lovely star


    with me!"


    Crystal humphed. "Not bad..."


    Then, she burst out intoughter happily, and her eyes were as charming as the crescent moon.


    The moment she saw him take it out, her heart felt warm and touched. This feeling was just like the


    frozen snow was being melted by the bright sunshine.


    In fact, it was just a childish joke when the two of them were still children, but Erik had kept it until


    now, which meant that he cherished Crystal very much, that he had never forgotten about her.


    Crystal smiled even more brilliantly.


    However, the two of them had grown up after so many years of separation. It would be


    inappropriate for her to rush forward and plunged herself into his arms, just like what she did when


    they were children.


    Crystal grinned and called out loudly. "Erik!"


    Erik raised his hand and rubbed her head, just like what he did countless times in the past.


    Under the orangemplight, the brother and sister smiled at each other.


    Crystal returned to thepartment andy back on her bed. She blinked her eyes and looked at


    the top of the bed.


    Something must have gone wrong!


    Crystal originally thought that she hated Erik, but how could she forgive him so soon?


    In her sleep, Crystal asionally pouted, and asionally smiled sweetly.


    Thepartment was quiet.


    The door was gently opened. Then, someone entered and sat on the side of her bed.

    By dint of the faint moonlight, Erik stared at Crystal intently.


    He would always remember that, when they parted many years ago, she was crying painfully. The


    image of tears rolling down her cheeks was deeply imprinted in his heart.


    The little girl, who used to follow him everywhere each day, now looked slim and beautiful. Her skin


    was fair and white, and as tender aske water. Her facial features were even more delicate than


    they were when she was still a child. Her beauty was undeniable by any man, and she was just like


    a blooming peach blossom.


    Erik reached out his hand and gently caressed Crystal''s face. He felt soft and real, and his heart


    was billowing with passion


    The two of them finally reunited after so long a time of seperation!


    His Adam''s apple moved slightly, and his deep voice sounded in the darkness of the night, as if he


    was making a promise. "Lil Star, I will never leave you in the future!"


    In the morning, the weather in Tbridge City was cool and fresh.


    The train was still moving on, and the sceneries outside of the train window was as beautiful as


    those of a Faind. They would arrive at the destination in two hours.


    Erik changed into the military shirt and was fastening the buttons in front of the mirror. His


    movements were calm and steady. After finished fastening the buttons, he checked whether the


    cor was neatly arranged. His serious attitude showed his respect to the military uniform.


    Being a soldier was his dream.


    His biological father was a martyr who sacrificed himself on the battlefield. He believed that he had


    a soldier''s soul. What''s more, he always remembered the tender words of a little girl who needed


    protection from him.


    Erik only slept for two hoursst night, but he was still full of energy now.


    It wasn''t until the sky began to turn bright that he left Crystal''s bunkpartment. He found a tea


    table outside, sat down there, and rest for a while.


    He had the imposing manner of a military officer who didn''t get angry easily, and at the same time


    was powerful and strong-minded. An air of romantic tenderness could also be observed between


    his eyebrows and eyes.


    Erik had just finished a military task recently. After the train arrived at the destination, he would have


    to go back to the army to report to his superior and hand over the relevant materials. He also had to


    handle the relevant procedures rted to the transfer order.


    As soon as he picked up his jacket, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. "Erik, have


    you found the girl?"


    It was Erik''srade-in-arms and good friend, Aiden Jagers. They had cooperated with each other


    many times before in many dangerous tasks. Coincidentally, they were both northerners and had


    simr tempers. That''s why they became bosom friends.


    Seeing that Erik frowned, Aiden rolled his eyes up. "Don''t pretend to be an innocent boy in front of


    me! I know you havee here for her! Just after thepletion of the task, you didn''t go back to


    your own troop directly to report to the chief, but came here to join me so enthusiastically. Isn''t it


    because of that girl?"


    "I have found her!" Erik didn''t hide anything.


    "You have been waiting for her for so many years. You paid no attention to any girls who were


    attracted by you, whether in your mother''s group or in the army. You just wanted to wait for her to


    grow up!" Aiden no only cared about Erik''s personal affairs, but also loved to gossip. "Tell me, what


    will happen after your reunion? Has she be a beautiful girl after she grew up?"


    Erik''s eye expressions were meaningful. "Well... She''s a pretty girl!"


    Seeing this, Aiden raised his eyebrows. "Erik, is it not going to be long before we can go to your


    wedding banquet?"


    Erik nced at his good friend without saying anything, but the corners of his lips slowly lifted up.


    The chugging sound of the train soundedfortable...


    The train gradually slowed down and slowly drove into the station.


    The soldiers were well-trained. Even if they were simply getting off a train, they would line up and


    walk down in the military gestures. Behind them were members of Crystal''s medical team. They


    also got off the train one after another.


    When they arrived at the destination, the medical team hired a coach to send them to the airport.


    Erik went towards Crystal with the military coat in his hand.


    She was talking to someone on the phone.


    The corners of her lips were slightly curled up, and her smile was just like that of her childhood. Her


    eyes were like a crescent moon, full of tenderness and charmingness.


    Even if she was standing in the shadow, her body seemed to have been shed by sunshine, warm


    and positive. Her eye expression, her voice, her smile... could cause others to feel happy and


    encouraged.


    Erik slowed down and didn''t want to disturb her.


    However, when he got closer, his face suddenly changed.
