Chapter 468 Departure

Chu Mingzhou went to the distant Yangshun Town and did not rush back to the military region until the next afternoon. After handing over key tasks, he went straight to the Intelligence Analysis Department.

Lin Anan had just finished her work, and Mr. Tan asked her and Li Ran to go back early to pack their luggage as they had to set off at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

"You know what? This is my first time on a plane. I'm really nervous! In the past, no matter how far I went, I always took the train. It's different when I work with a leader!"

"Well, we benefited from following the leader."

As soon as the two walked out of the office building, they saw Chu Mingzhou's military vehicle driving over the accumulated water.

There was fatigue on his face. It was rare that he was not wearing a military cap, revealing his entire face. However, his perfect facial features were suppressed by his cold appearance, making him look extremely calm.

"Get in the car."

“Here I come.”

I also sent Li Ran back.

Lin Anan looked at the poplar trees flying by outside the car window and suddenly remembered what Lin Wangshu said last night, "Over in North China..."

"The military exercise preparation team has already entered the vicinity of Tang City. The General Staff has sent earthquake monitoring experts to accompany the team. Don't worry."

Chu Mingzhou's expression was very serious. This was a Class A secret, and this was the limit of what he could say.

"real?"

"Um."

"Chu Mingzhou! You are so awesome! Did you really do it?"

The car stopped at the door of her house. Chu Mingzhou turned his head to look at her, only to see that her eyes were sparkling with surprise. The evening light fell on her eyelashes, casting a faint shadow. Her facial lines were soft, yet revealed a deep concentration.

It looks great.

Chu Mingzhou took her hand and put it to his lips, kissing it gently. "I went to Yangshun Town to meet an old leader and handed over the joint military exercise plan. It's done."

“You’re awesome!”

Lin Anan moved forward and pecked him lightly on the chin.

Chu Mingzhou raised his lips in a beautiful arc, "The military exercise in the Tanlu Fault Zone will be advanced to July 26th, codenamed 'Rock'. I can't go there, but I will command remotely."

"Great~"

Seeing her happy face, Chu Mingzhou rubbed her head with his hand and said, "Within 20 kilometers of Tang City, complete the deployment of troops before 8 am on the 27th."

Lin Anan was really touched.

Such a big fuss, just because he believed in her!

"Get out of the car."

"Well, go home!"

She said to get off the car, and then she leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips, "Chu Mingzhou, thank you."

Chu Mingzhou's breathing suddenly stagnated, and then he took the initiative, clasping his hands on the back of her neck and deepening the kiss.

The golden light of the setting sun shone through the car window and fell on their touching lips, warm and lingering.

"Ah, Aah."

Lin's mother opened the door and then closed it immediately!

Lin Anan pushed Chu Mingzhou away violently, her cheeks flushed.

Chu Mingzhou chuckled and was still reluctant when he let go of her fingertips.

"Let's go."

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Lin's mother had already returned to the kitchen. Chu Minglan was sitting on a chair holding Zhuangzhuang, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Lin Anan went over to pick up the child and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolan."

"It's not hard. I'll help my sister-in-law pack her luggage after dinner."

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

"Then I'll still look at Zhuangzhuang."

"OK."

The setting sun outside the window finally sank into the west and night began to fall.

After dinner, Lin Anan washed herself from head to toe, intending to be in the best condition to greet this long journey.

As the night deepens, the starry sky in the northwest becomes particularly bright.

When she returned to the room, looking at Chu Mingzhou's back as he packed her luggage under the lamp, she suddenly felt that the most touching promise in the world was not an oath of eternal love, but the man in front of her... He could always prove with his actions that he would always be her most solid support.

And she will carry this belief with her at the meeting in Kyoto, using her translation pen to protect their common home.

The next day.

Lin Anan got up early and adjusted the collar of her military uniform in front of the mirror. Her braids hung on her shoulders and the ends of her hair were tied with a thin red ribbon.

"An An, come and eat noodles."

“Here I come.”

This trip will take at least a week, and at most... probably less than a month.

Lin Anan didn't want to say it too bluntly, so she could only eat noodles while constantly giving instructions to her mother.

Lin's mother just told her not to worry and promised that she would help her protect the house and look after the children.

After finishing the noodles, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the courtyard gate.

Three military vehicles stopped in front of the Chu family’s door.

Lin Anan kissed Zhuangzhuang several times, hugged Lin's mother and Chu Mingzhou, and then walked towards the door reluctantly.

"Call the group if you have anything."

"Okay, I know."

Chu Mingzhou picked up the luggage and walked her to the car.

Commander Zheng and Chu Mingzhou looked at each other and nodded.

Lin Anan got on Commander Zheng's first car and sat in the co-pilot seat.

Commander Zheng was sitting alone in the back seat. Lin Anan felt a little depressed in the car and didn't dare to say much. She just sat there quietly.

The person driving the car was a familiar face. He was an old guard who had been with Commander Zheng for many years. It was said that he was not only able to arrange the commander's life at all times, but was also good at both civil and military affairs. He was a very remarkable person.

Three military vehicles drove steadily away from the military compound. Lin Anan saw from the rearview mirror that Chu Mingzhou was still standing in the morning mist, and the puddles beside his military boots reflected his upright figure.

Commander Zheng remained silent all the way, just closed his eyes and rested, and did not ask Lin Anan about the progress at all.

When the military vehicle drove into the airport's dedicated lane, the sun was already high in the sky.

When everyone got off the bus, Lin Anan silently counted and found that there were ten people in total including herself.

She only needs to follow Commander Zheng quietly, and all the procedures will be handled by a dedicated person.

"Let's get on board."

"yes!"

Lin Anan walked up the metal gangway to the plane and looked up at the fuselage. The four Song-style characters "China Civil Aviation" on the dark green skin were glowing bright white, and the red five-pointed star on the tail wing was light gold in the backlight.

As soon as we boarded the plane, we saw the flight attendants wearing navy blue uniforms. They moved in unison and bowed slightly to Commander Zheng.

"Hello, Chief. Welcome aboard."

Lin Anan was arranged to sit in the aisle seat in the second row, with Li Ran sitting next to her.

As soon as the time came, the plane began to taxi, and the fuselage vibrated slightly. Li Ranran nervously grabbed An An's hand, his knuckles turning white.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Anan made a lip gesture to her and patted her hand gently.

The plane took off slowly, and after rising into the clouds, sunlight shone in through the portholes, layer upon layer.

"Why is it so high? An An, how long will we have to fly?"

"More than two hours."

In fact, Lin Anan was also a little scared. The planes in the 1970s were not like those in later generations. Not only did they shake violently, but there was also a smell of engine oil in the cabin.

Scared, but can't show it.

I simply followed Commander Zheng's example and closed my eyes to rest.

Li Ran was so curious that her eyes never stopped looking. Not to mention the cabin, she could just look at the clouds outside the window for two days!
