When I was in high school, I was a very introverted boy who spent all day in the library reading books. But there is one thing, I have a crush on Chen Xue, the class girl in our class.

Not only is she excellent in grades, but she is also first-class in appearance, and what is even more commendable is that she is humble and polite. We were good friends, but I just didn't have the courage to tell her what was in my heart.
In the senior year, we all had to go our separate ways. Watching Chen Xue's classmates get admitted to the university of their choice one by one, I finally asked her to take a walk on the playground one night before graduation, intending to confide in my heart.
"Chen Xue, I've always liked you......"
Before I finished speaking, Chen Xue showed an embarrassed look, "I'm sorry, I have promised my family that I want to marry Zhao Zhiqiang's son......"
The Zhao family is the richest landlord in our city, and I heard that Zhao Zhiqiang himself is also a wealthy man. I felt like the sky was falling, and I was stunned and overwhelmed......
The news of Chen Xue's refusal undoubtedly gave me a slap in the face. At the graduation party, looking at her and Zhao Zhiqiang, I finally made up my mind to embark on a new path in life.
Early the next morning, with my luggage on my back, with sadness and revenge, I went to the recruit company in the city to submit my application for enlistment. On my first day in the army, I was severely reprimanded by Captain Ma.
He shook his head at me, a "high school student and young master soldier", and said that a pampered person like me could not endure the hardships of the army at all. But I refused to admit defeat and was determined to prove myself with practical actions.
The days of basic training were just too hard. Captain Ma was very strict with me, asking me to do hundreds of sit-ups or push-ups at every turn, and occasionally taking me to run alone until my legs were weak and my whole body was weak.

Once, I carelessly tripped and was severely reprimanded on the spot by Captain Ma. I gritted my teeth and didn't say a word, but I vowed in my heart that I must be stronger.
In this way, I began my self-transformation. At first, my strength was very weak, and my movements were rusty. But I practiced unremittingly, and in addition to training every day, I practiced on my own.
In the evening, when everyone else was already resting, I sneaked out to the playground and practiced all kinds of homework movements over and over again until practice makes perfect. After a few months, my body has obviously strengthened a lot, and my training performance has skyrocketed, and I was finally assigned to the Elite Company.
After entering the Elite Company, the intensity of training increased suddenly, but I was no longer the same young man as before, and I quickly integrated into this new group.
In this way, I worked in the army for 6 years. In the past 6 years, I have transformed from the original "young master soldier" into a trained soldier, with strong skills and tenacity. And my biggest dream is to one day be able to make meritorious contributions and get the opportunity to return to my hometown to visit relatives.
In 1985, during a sweeping operation against militants, my squad was ordered to cut off the enemy's supply lines. When I was sniped by the enemy, I decisively led my soldiers to successfully break through the siege, evacuate safely, and captured several militants.
In this operation, I was named a combat hero, and I got the opportunity to be promoted as I wished. The first thing I did after I was promoted to platoon commander was to apply to go back to my hometown to visit my family.
Six years have passed, and I wonder if my hometown has changed. I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, but I was already a newcomer that no one else could recognize.

Carrying a heavy baggage, I finally returned to my hometown. Nothing seems to have changed much, except for a few new buildings lining the streets. Walking down the familiar streets, I have mixed feelings.
Not long after I arrived home, my friends from high school, Wang Lei and Zhang Hao, came to visit me. Reunion after a long absence, everyone said a word to me, recounting all kinds of interesting things in the army and hometown.
Chatting and chatting, Wang Lei suddenly mentioned Chen Xue's recent situation. It turned out that not long after I left, Chen Xue married Zhao Zhiqiang. But she didn't live a good life, but was abused by domestic violence in the Zhao family. Fortunately, she was brave enough to finally choose to divorce and get out of her painful marriage.
But fate didn't seem to let her go. After the divorce, Chen Xue was seriously ill, but she had no money for treatment because of her poor family. Hearing this, my heart was mixed.
On the one hand, I felt the pleasure of revenge for Chen Xue for rejecting me so ruthlessly; On the other hand, I can't help but feel sorry and sympathetic for her when I think of how much she has suffered.
"Do you have any contact information about her now?" I suppressed my complicated emotions and asked directly.
"Yes, she lives in the west of the city now...... Wang Lei reported an address.
Early the next morning, I went to find Chen Xue along the address he gave. Her current residence is a dilapidated small building, and the environment is very simple.
"Chen Xue? It's ...... me."
When the door opened, I was greeted by a woman with a haggard face and a thin body, and if it weren't for her familiar eyes, I would hardly recognize this as the campus beauty of the year.
"You are ......" Chen Xue didn't seem to recognize me.
"I was the boy who pursued you back then, do you remember?" I smiled.
Chen Xue's eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "It turned out to be you, I'm so sorry for you......"
"It's okay, don't mention the past." I hurriedly interrupted her, "I came back this time to meet you. With that, I pulled out an envelope and gently handed it to her.

Chen Xue took it with some suspicion, opened it and looked at it, and was suddenly so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "This, how can this be ......?"
"You're welcome, just take it as my apology to make up for your past mistakes." I smiled, secretly glad I was able to help in time.
Chen Xue was still a little hesitant, but I persuaded her to accept the money and use it for treatment. Before leaving, her poor but strong appearance filled my heart with warmth and comfort, as if the previous obsession had finally been relieved.
When I left Chen Xue's residence, my heart had already resolved the regrets and obsessions I had had had for her for many years. There are always too many fates missed in life, and the important thing is whether we grasp the present in our hands.
After returning to the army, I continued to work hard, and with my excellent military experience, I quickly became a successful entrepreneur after leaving the army. When I have free time, I will also secretly pay attention to Chen Xue's recent situation.
I was genuinely happy to learn that she had healed her body with the money I had funded and had later married a decent person. We missed the fate of the year, but fate also gave us a new path in life.
Looking back, I am always grateful for the unrequited love of my youth. It is it that has pushed me onto a new path in life, sharpened my will, and made me who I am today.
Just like the journey of life, there are ups and downs, stumbles, but as long as you keep moving forward, you will be able to embrace a new future. The unrequited love of my youth has become the most beautiful and precious memory of my life.
