Chapter 26 Prove Your Worth

"Belenko, I have to go back to Vladivostok tomorrow. My teachers and classmates have already arrived. We will conduct an investigation in the Far East for three days, and then it's time to go back to Berlin." In his arms, Anne quietly looked at the dark night sky dotted with stars, and she said it reluctantly.

"Annie, I like you, I want to be with you!" On the first night when they went camping in the wild, Belenko fell in love with Annie. In the past few days, since Belenko's fighter plane had not been repaired, Belenko simply stayed with Annie. Today they came to the suburbs to spend the night together again. Although they did not break through the last line of defense, now, with such a beautiful girl in his arms, Belenko already felt that he had found his true love. This girl was a hundred times more beautiful than his ex-wife Lyudmila.

At this time, Belenko had no other wishes and was willing to follow Anne to the ends of the earth.

"Belenko, I like you too," Annie said, "but you know, it's impossible for us to be together."

"Why?" Belenko exclaimed as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down his head: "Do you think I'm older than you?"

"Age is not a problem," Annie said. "But, Belenko, you know, I don't really plan to stay in the Soviet Union forever, nor do I plan to marry a Soviet man."

Hearing this, Belenko remembered talking about family the night before. Anne said that her father was in East Germany, while her mother stayed in West Germany before the construction of the Berlin Wall. The family had been separated over the years, and Anne and her father hoped to go to West Berlin to reunite with her mother.

If Anne had married in the Soviet Union, and married a Soviet Air Force captain, she would never have been able to go to the West and reunite with her mother in this lifetime.

The Berlin Wall back then caused so many families to be separated!

Belenko was stunned. Anne liked him very much now and her feelings for him were real, but Anne could not marry a Soviet, especially a Soviet soldier!

what to do?

Anne in Belenko's arms gently took away his arm, stood up, walked forward a few steps, and looked at the birch tree in front of her.

"Belenko, I've been very happy these few days with you, but I really can't stay with you any longer." Annie said, "Let us just become each other's memories."

After saying that, Annie covered her face and wanted to leave.

"No!" Belenko chased after her and said, "Annie, you can't marry a Soviet, right? I might as well not be a Soviet anymore. I'll go to West Germany with you!"

"No." Anne shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Belenko, in the Soviet Union, you are a respected soldier and a captain pilot. But what can you do in the West? You are used to the world here. If you go to the West, you can't do anything. You don't have any other survival skills. Moreover, your identity will make the Western world unable to trust you. My parents still won't agree to let me marry you, unless, unless..."

"Unless what, tell me!" Belenko looked at Anne, feeling very painful at this moment.

"Unless you can prove your worth," Anne said, "your existence will bring a shocking sensation to the Western world, and make the Western world accept you."

After saying that, Annie ran away quickly: "Don't follow me, Bielianko. You can't do it. We are two parallel lines that will never intersect..."

Looking at Anne's figure disappearing on the road ahead, Belenko was still thinking about Anne's words. Unless he could prove his own value and make the Western world accept him!

After briefly tasting the taste of passionate love and rekindling his hope for life, Belenko didn't want to lose Annie again. He had to find a way! What should he do?

"Be careful, walk slowly." Andre walked slowly in the ward. He felt pain in his calves from time to time, but he had to persevere.

In the past, it was said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If you had a broken bone, you had to stay in bed for at least a hundred days. However, this is actually a misunderstanding. Staying in bed for too long will prevent various tissues from growing properly. For example, tendons, tendon sheaths, fascia, joint capsules, etc. These injuries will recover in 1 to 2 weeks. The recovery time of ligaments, joint capsules and cartilage is slightly longer, only about 3 weeks. As for broken bones, they can be completely healed in about fifty days. Staying in bed for too long will prevent these tissues from healing, but they will not be able to restore their original toughness and strength. Exercise is necessary!

As for Andre's calf, the tendon was torn due to excessive force during landing, and it had to be sutured. Now, only three days later, Andre has started recovery exercises. If he cannot recover to his original level, Andre will have to say goodbye to flying for the rest of his life.

Now, seeing that Andrei insisted on undergoing restorative walking training, Ekaterina, who was standing by, watched him quietly. Wearing a mask, she could only reveal her bright eyes, which were full of worry at this moment.

"Be careful!" Seeing that Andrei was about to fall after taking a few steps, Ekaterina shouted and ran towards Andrei.

"It's okay." Andrei leaned against the wall and pushed Ekaterina back with his hands: "I can do it."

When he pushed, his hand touched something soft. Andre cried out in his heart, "Oh no! I didn't mean to do that!" At the same time, he naturally retracted his hand, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Ekaterina must not feel that she has discovered that she has touched the wrong place! No, she pushed the wrong place! Andrei turned his head and looked back at Ekaterina.

Hidden under the golden hair, the ears, which looked like works of art carved by a chisel, were a little red. Ekaterina was shocked and knew that Andrei did not mean it. At this time, she could not say anything.

"Comrade Andrei, please sit down and rest for a while."

"No! I never backed down when I beat the Americans, and I can't back down now!" Andre continued to walk forward, walked around the ward, and sweat gushed out on his forehead.

No, I can’t bear it anymore. Andre sat down on the hospital bed and took a few breaths.

Ekaterina stared at Andrei, hesitated for a moment, sat on the chair opposite, and said, "Comrade Andrei, tell me about your beating of the Americans."

Do you still like to listen to battle stories? Do you like battle heroes? Could this beautiful young female doctor in front of you fall in love with me? Andre couldn't help but think in his heart, and it seems that he is not averse to this girl.

"At that time, it happened at an altitude of 8,000 meters..." Andre spoke fluently.
