Choosing to ignore someone in need isn't really difficult; within the mission, casualties are unavoidable. What's hard is facing one's own conscience and the responsibilities we bear.
If Qi Taiguo truly chose to ignore someone in need, even if no one knew, could he still face his own conscience calmly?
To be human, one must first be true to oneself before being true to others.
Being true to oneself is harder than being true to others.
"You don't blame me?" Qi Taiguo saw that she didn't look resentful at all and couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Su shook her head, "Why would I blame you? Taiguo, you must always remember, you are a soldier of the nation; you can't mix personal feelings with national matters."
Qi Taiguo felt a pang in his heart, pulled her back down into his embrace, and said, "Ah, why did I marry such a calm woman like you?"
Feeling comforted, she always finds the right words to console him when he's troubled by such vexing matters.
