Cheerful and scheming × restrained "little apple"
"Your father died because of me, but I want to spend my life trying to atone for my sins."
"My dad chose your life - now it's mine."
Sweet little theater???:
Lu Xiuyuan (wiping the demining pliers covered with soil, suddenly picked up the stethoscope on Chen Yan's chest with the tip of the pliers)
"Dr. Chen, I heard that you can detect lies by listening to your heartbeat?" (The cold metal light reflects a sly smile) "Listen to me now -" (Suddenly getting closer) "Am I more nervous about demining, or am I more nervous about you?"
Chen Yan (the tips of his ears turned red, and the scalpel accurately opened a tear in the opponent's training uniform)
"Heart rate is 98, adrenaline is on the high side." (A cotton swab dipped in iodine was used to scratch the old scar on Lu Xiuyuan's collarbone) "It is recommended to stay away from sources of stimulation." (Fingertips unconsciously stroked the fisherman's knot mark)
Lu Xiuyuan (suddenly holding his wrist, the smell of gunpowder smoke lingering in his tactical gloves)
"It's too late." (Pulls out the wrinkled blueprint from the sandwich of the body armor) "Coordinates of the blue spider's lair." (Puts the blueprint into Chen Yan's first aid kit) "If I defuse mines tomorrow..." (Rubbing his thumb on the needle cocoon of his tiger's mouth) "Remember to prick me with the thickest needle to wake me up."
Chen Yan (grabbing his pulse with backhand, voice tight)
"Article 7 of the Demining Manual." (Suddenly recited) "It is prohibited to hand over mission secrets to non-combatants." (But he hid the blueprint in his pocket) "... But Article 1 of the Military Medical Code," (looks up) "is to protect the heartbeat of all soldiers."

There was a muffled sound of explosion in the distance, and both of them turned their heads at the same time.
Lu Xiuyuan (suddenly threw Chen Yan behind the sandbag cover, protecting the back of his head with his palms)
"The shock wave arrives in five seconds!" (Laughing in his ear as the air wave blew up the tent) "What's Dr. Chen's heart rate now?"
Chen Yan (clenching Lu Xiuyuan's collar amidst the medical documents falling all over the sky)
"Enough to give you artificial respiration." (Taking out the blue spider tattoo patch on his waist) "Explain this?" (Pressing his fingertips on the other person's violently beating carotid artery)
Lu Xiuyuan (bringing the person closer to him, the tips of their noses touching)
"Decoy Mine." (Tear off the patch to reveal the actual military tattoo underneath - an olive branch wrapped in blue thread)

When the sky was dim, the two of them arranged their equipment back to back.
Lu Xiuyuan (putting the compass left by his father into Chen Yan's palm)
"The magnetic needle always points north." (Fingers folded on the back of his hand) "And I will always return to the direction with you."
Chen Yan (tying the bloody fisherman's knot back on his wrist)
"Surgical knot tying." (Suddenly tightening the knot) "Unless you want to untie..." (Looking up in the morning light) "The world no longer needs deminers."
Lu Xiuyuan (laughing, shouldering the demining equipment and reaching out against the light)
"Deal." (Whispering while interlocking fingers) "When the day comes for world peace..." (The tip of the tactical knife lifts Chen Yan's chin) "Take your stethoscope in exchange for my wedding ring."

[Zhang Wei holds up a burnt instant noodle fork and shouts from a distance]
"You two! Can we wait until this minefield is blown up to fall in love?!"
[The two looked at each other and smiled, the gun and the medical kit collided with a crisp sound, and the rising sun melted the shadow into the guardian's totem]
Purpose: We walk side by side to safeguard world peace
