Chapter 106 Back
Qin Yingxue smiled broadly: "Comrade Huo, do you have any objections?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm very happy to be your big brother." Huo Shaoting said calmly, shaking his head slightly.
Whether it was because Huo Shaoting's face was very deceptive, or because Xiao Haifeng was bolder than others, he kept calling Huo Shaoting "big brother" throughout the rest of the journey, even disregarding his own brother.
The car stopped at the small fishing village, and Huo Shaoting personally hugged Xiao Haifeng. Xiao Haifeng's little hands clung tightly to Huo Shaoting, unwilling to let go.
"How about I come to see you again when I have time next time?" To Qin Yingxue's surprise, Huo Shaoting was very patient in coaxing Xiao Haifeng.
Seeing Pei Xiang's astonished expression, as if his eyes were about to pop out, Qin Yingxue thoughtfully withdrew her gaze.
In the end, Bai Haijian stepped in and took Xiao Haifeng home, which made Xiao Haifeng's eyes redden and her lips pout as she tried hard not to cry.
Huo Shaoting whispered something in his ear, and Xiao Haifeng burst into laughter through his tears, waving goodbye to Huo Shaoting with a big smile.
Huo Shaoting then got into the car, waved to the Bai brothers, and then let Pei Xiang drive.
The car drove towards the military camp, and Qin Yingxue carefully observed Huo Shaoting.
She noticed that he didn't even flinch. When the car stopped in front of the military camp gate, he opened the car door with a gentlemanly smile: "Auntie, Comrade Qin, we've arrived."
"Would you like to come in for some tea?" Zhu Huiwen said warmly. "You've come all this way to bring us back, and it's almost lunchtime. Why don't you eat before you go?"
"I came in a hurry this time, let's do it next time!" Huo Shaoting refused subtly.
His eyes finally settled on Qin Yingxue's face, a glint in them, but his smile remained unchanged: "Comrade Qin, see you next time."
Qin Yingxue wanted to say something like, "This is the last time we'll see each other..."
Huo Shaoting seemed to know what she wanted to say, but he gave her a meaningful look, then strode into his car and drove away quickly.
Zhu Huiwen was reluctant to part with him, and said with a face full of emotion, "This Comrade Huo is really kind-hearted. He not only brought us back, but he didn't even offer us a drink of water."
"Mom, let's go home!" Qin Yingxue and the Wen siblings carried the things they had bought and walked towards the military camp with Zhu Huiwen.
"Auntie, I'm going home for a bit." Halfway there, Yang Weijun said goodbye and walked in the opposite direction from them.
"Come over after lunch, I'll make you braised pork."
Zhu Huiwen gave him a word of advice out of concern.
I bought a piece of meat at the supply and marketing cooperative today. It wasn't much, just over a pound, but it's enough to make a plate of braised pork, and everyone can have two pieces.
Qin Yingxue has wild boar meat, as well as mutton and beef in her space, but it's not convenient to take them out.
She used to dream of how happy she would be to eat seafood every day, but now she realizes that eating too much seafood can get boring, and having both fish and meat is the greatest happiness.
As soon as the group pushed open the courtyard gate, they saw a familiar figure moving stones in the yard with his sleeves rolled up.
"Yan Chuan, you're back!" Zhu Huiwen was the first to react, walking over with a big smile.
Song Yanchuan stood up, and seeing the large and small bags in everyone's hands, his eyes fell on Qin Yingxue's face. He asked with concern, "Did you go to town?"
"Yes! Since I had company, we went to town together and bought everything we needed." Qin Yingxue's eyes met Song Yanchuan's, and a bright smile involuntarily bloomed on her face.
Today is truly a wonderful day!
Song Yanchuan is back!
Seeing that the two only had eyes for each other, Zhu Huiwen smiled and quietly led the Wen siblings into the house.
Seeing that no one was around, Song Yanchuan put his arm around Qin Yingxue's waist.
"Your hand..." Qin Yingxue exclaimed, rolled her eyes at Song Yanchuan, and whispered a reminder, "It'll damage your image if someone sees it..."
“I’m in my own yard, what am I afraid of?” Song Yanchuan had just finished speaking when he heard Grandma Wu’s voice from next door.
"Huiwen! Your Yanchuan is back, the whole family is reunited, so please make sure to cook a lavish lunch."
Qin Yingxue found it somewhat amusing to see Song Yanchuan's slightly changed expression, and finally exclaimed in surprise, letting him put his arm around her and walk into the house.
By the time they reached the second floor, Qin Yingxue was already out of breath because Song Yanchuan's strides were too large and his pace too fast.
As soon as he got back inside, Song Yanchuan closed the door. Seeing Qin Yingxue's slightly flushed face, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke her delicate cheek. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Yingxue, I'm back!"
"Was everything alright?" Qin Yingxue noticed that Song Yanchuan's brows furrowed slightly at her question, and quickly asked, "What happened?"
“Ouyang Jian was swept into the sea by the waves and bitten by an unknown creature. He has been unconscious and has been sent to Yanjing. The enemy he captured escaped in the chaos. The regimental commander wanted to give this mission to Battalion Commander Lei since we are newly married, but I refused.” Song Yanchuan looked at Qin Yingxue, his expression somewhat tense.
Qin Yingxue instantly understood his meaning: "Are you worried that Battalion Commander Lei is not up to the task?"
“I suspect that the other party is deliberately stalling for time, trying to take Ouyang Jian’s life during this shipwreck…” Song Yanchuan said, expressing his thoughts.
"The other party is so cunning, and willing to use his own life as bait, which shows he is both brave and resourceful. Now that he has escaped, it will be difficult to catch him in a short time. Moreover, he is very familiar with the terrain and weather, so I'm afraid he might have set a trap..."
Qin Yingxue was interrupted by Song Yanchuan before she could finish speaking.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I know. That's why I can't let Battalion Commander Lei go."
"And what about you? You risked your life, did you even consider how worried Mom and I would be?" Qin Yingxue immediately became anxious.
She was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person whose only concern was her own family.
She couldn't be selfless, nor could she stand by and watch Song Yanchuan fall into danger without doing anything to stop him.
"Silly girl!" Song Yanchuan reached out and patted her head, comforting her, "Their little tricks can't stop me. You wait for me to arrest them myself..."
"But all I want is for you to be safe." Qin Yingxue's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke anxiously.
Seeing Qin Yingxue's state, Song Yanchuan earnestly took her small hand and kissed it: "Yingxue, as a soldier, it's my duty. I can only promise you that I will definitely come back to see you safely, okay?"
Qin Yingxue looked at him with teary eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "You promised me this yourself. If you can't keep your word, Song Yanchuan, I'll make sure you never have a moment's peace, no matter where you are!"
"Silly girl..." Song Yanchuan couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her tightly, lowering his head to kiss those little lips that he both loved and felt helpless about...
