Chapter 27 Two-Way Trip

"Mingcheng, you...you don't hug me so tightly, I can hardly breathe."

Zhuang Mingcheng was so strong that Lu Fangfang felt like she was being mashed into his hot chest.

She felt like she had become one with the other.

Zhuang Mingcheng, panting heavily, quickly let go of his hand.

"No...don't let go completely."

Lu Fangfang reached out and hugged Zhuang Mingcheng back.

She nestled lovingly in the man's arms and closed her eyes.

There was no place where she felt safer than this.

"Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, I've realized I've fallen for you."

"Me too."

Zhuang Mingcheng stroked Lu Fangfang's dry, yellow hair with affection.

Then, his hands gradually moved down and gently embraced his fiancée.

His nose felt a little sore, and Zhuang Mingcheng's eyes welled up with tears.

His fiancée was so thin; one can only imagine how much she had suffered along the way.

All of this could actually have been avoided.

"Comrade Lu Fangfang, I promise I will fatten you up."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Fangfang rolled her eyes at the man, then arched her head and found a comfortable position.

Zhuang Mingcheng smelled of crushed grass, very fresh and pleasant, and she gradually became engrossed in the scent.

...

a long time.

Zhuang Mingcheng gently stroked her hair and said with a heavy heart, "Fangfang, there's something I need to tell you."

"Mmm." Lu Fangfang stirred slightly in his arms, indicating that she was listening.

"Tomorrow, I... I will be leaving the group temporarily to complete a mission."

"I know you're going to the new province, right?"

Zhuang Mingcheng was stunned and looked at Lu Fangfang in his arms in surprise.

This was a top-secret mission within the group, how did she know?

Forehead……

Lu Fangfang felt a little guilty. She looked up at Zhuang Mingcheng and whispered, "Mingcheng, I also have something to tell you. Let's make it clear first, so you won't be angry."

"Um, I hit Xiao Ting, not hard, just one slap."

Zhuang Mingcheng: "..."

"Wait a minute? Something's not right."

Before Zhuang Mingcheng could speak, Lu Fangfang hurriedly climbed out of his arms.

Previously, she always felt that she had forgotten something, but when Xiao Ting was mentioned, she finally remembered.

Zhuang Mingcheng's arm!!!

She rolled up his sleeve and nestled in his arms, examining him closely.

"Waaah~"

Zhuang Mingcheng's arm looked somewhat swollen, and its color was also abnormal, a light blackish-purple.

Seeing this, even someone who isn't a doctor would know that she wasn't fully recovered.

"Mingcheng, it's all my fault! If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have had to go to such a far place as Xinjiang Province."

Lu Fangfang's eyes were brimming with tears; she was heartbroken.

Going to the new province was difficult enough, and Zhuang Mingcheng's arm was still not healed. How much suffering must he have endured along the way?

What if something else happens...

"Waaah."

Lu Fangfang dared not think any further.

"Fangfang, don't cry, it's okay, my arm is all better now."

Zhuang Mingcheng deliberately used his injured left hand to wipe away Lu Fangfang's tears to prove his point.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He and his fiancée were actually quite a good match; they were both people who cared deeply for each other.

Lu Fangfang looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears.

She stretched out her finger and gently poked Zhuang Mingcheng's arm.

Seeing the man's expressionless face, she said with heartache, "Don't force yourself to hold it in!"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Zhuang Mingcheng pulled his fiancée into his arms and said softly, "Tell me, why did you hit Dr. Xiao? Hitting someone is wrong."

"She deserved it!"

Lu Fangfang knew that Zhuang Mingcheng was trying to change the subject.

But the thought of Xiao Ting made her furious.

She recounted the whole story, including how Xiao Ting threatened to kick her out of the family compound.

Zhuang Mingcheng frowned after hearing this. No one had the right to kick his fiancée out!

But this mission is actually like this, no wonder it came so quickly and abruptly.

"Xiao Ting said that she will go to Xinjiang with you this time and stay for more than half a year."

Zhuang Mingcheng shook his head subconsciously, "It won't be that long, at most two months. I will definitely come back in two months. By then, the grass on the grassland will have grown tall, and I will take you horseback riding and play on the grassland."

"Two months..."

Lu Fangfang felt a pang of sadness.

The thought of Zhuang Mingcheng spending two months with Xiao Ting made her angry.

It wasn't that she was jealous or petty; it was really Xiao Ting who caused her so much harm.

If it weren't for Xiao Ting's interference, Zhuang Mingcheng wouldn't have had to drag his injured arm to the new province for a mission.

If anything happens to Zhuang Mingcheng, she will fight Xiao Ting to the death.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

Zhuang Mingcheng hugged Lu Fangfang and comforted her, then something else came to mind.

The two lingered for a while longer before reluctantly parting ways.

Zhuang Mingcheng is leaving for Xinjiang tomorrow, so Lu Fangfang has no other thoughts. She tidied up the house and then started thinking about what to make for her fiancé.

The new province is so far away, and the journey has been so arduous, she wanted Zhuang Mingcheng to have something good to eat.

Just then, Zhuang Mingcheng bought flour and sugar, and Lu Fangfang took an enamel basin, intending to knead some dough and make some sugar cakes for him to take with him.

"Huh? Mingcheng, you even cut up pork?"

"Yes, I got all two jin of meat coupons from the regimental commander. You can keep them to nourish yourself."

Well, I owe the regimental commander two more jin of meat coupons.
