Lin Qiyue had a sudden inspiration, and her eyes curved slightly upward as she teased, "People say that when a man buys shoes for a woman, it's because he wants her to run away?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? These are all rumors, and you believe them?" Lan Yuchu directly tapped Lin Qiyue's head.

"Hmph~" Lin Qiyue pouted, blinked, and then frowned, saying, "You hit my head again. Don't you know that hitting your head can make you stupid? What if you despise me after I become stupid?"

Lan Yuchu slowly approached, bent down and said to Lin Qiyue, "Let me tell you, it's better if you're stupid, then I can have it easy every day~"

Lin Qiyue really wanted to know what was going on in his head, and whether he was even speaking human language.

"Lan Yuchu, have you gone astray?" Lin Qiyue really had no idea that this man had gone completely astray.

Lan Yuchu's lips curled up, and he chuckled, saying, "I've always been like this; you just didn't know me before!"

"You're so naughty~"

"Women love men who are a little bad." He didn't dare say it loudly, but whispered to Lin Qiyue.

During a break in their conversation, a military vehicle appeared and stopped right in front of them.

The driver was Ding Wen, who looked very anxious. When he saw Lan Yuchu, it was as if he had seen a savior. He said, "Get in the car quickly, we have a mission!"

Lan Yuchu's smile gradually faded. She reached out to help Lin Qiyue get into the car first, and then sat down herself.

The car quickly drove in the wrong direction.

"We've received a mission that requires the entire team to go on a mission. We're urgently calling everyone back, and we might have to go on a mission tonight." Ding Wen is the most pitiful one. He hasn't had a chance to rest since he returned from his mission, and now he's going out to carry out another mission.

Because Lin Qiyue was present, the two didn't discuss the mission in detail.

The car drove very fast, and we arrived at the entrance of the residential compound in half an hour.

Lan Yuchu helped Lin Qiyue down and took down the things they had bought.

"Honey, if I come home late tonight, don't wait for me. If you don't want to cook, just go to the cafeteria and get something to eat." Lan Yuchu held his wife's hand, reluctant to let her go. Seeing that Lin Qiyue was worried about him, he added, "Don't worry, let's go back first."

Even if Lin Qiyue was worried, there was nothing she could do to change anything, so she nodded, trying to appear calm.

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Qiyue's eyes were glazed over, and she couldn't blink, but she didn't want Lan Yuchu to worry.

Lin Qiyue felt a pang of sadness as she watched him get into the car and head to the military base.

Being a military dependent is definitely different; you have to be on your guard all the time.

She bent down to pick up the things she had bought from the city.

Judging from Ding Wen's expression, it's already the end of August, and a major move is about to happen in less than half a month.

How could Lin Qiyue not be worried?

Back home, Lin Qiyue put her things away and poured herself a glass of water.

Then she started translating the book she had brought back yesterday.

She wrote until late at night, and Lin Qiyue would occasionally look towards the entrance of the hall.

There was no sign of them returning, but whistles could always be heard outside. Lin Qiyue put down her pen and went to the balcony, where she saw military vehicles leaving the camp one after another.

There was a long distance between them, and many big trees blocked the view, but she could vaguely see a faint light flickering.

Her heart skipped a beat, as if something big was about to happen.

I also know that Lan Yuchu won't be coming back today.

At this moment, her stomach was growling loudly with hunger, so she turned around and went back to the kitchen, cooked herself a bowl of noodles, and added an egg.

In this day and age, eggs are actually a very good food.

However, she and Lan Yuchu lived a stress-free life, and they could eat meat at almost every meal.

As long as you have money and tickets, you can basically buy whatever you want.

The noodles were very bland and had almost no flavor; even adding soy sauce didn't change that.

After taking a shower, Lin Qiyue went back to her room to sleep, the blankets still seemingly warm from the man's touch.

She had only been apart for half a day, but she already missed men again, longing for the scent of their hormones.

Now, the tension isn't just in the military; even Duan Hongguo in Pingcheng is starting to feel anxious.

I received a phone call in the middle of the night!

He immediately got out of bed, and Haider was disturbed by his movements, so she quickly turned on the bedside lamp.

Haider, who wasn't dressed, groggily opened her eyes and asked, "Old Duan, what's going on? Why are you getting up in the middle of the night?"

Duan Hongguo hurriedly put on his clothes. Hearing his wife's voice, he quickly said, "It's nothing. I just received an urgent call and need to go there as soon as possible."

After getting dressed, he sat down on the edge of the bed, kissed his wife's forehead, and comforted her, "Honey, go to sleep. I'm going now."

"Is there any danger?" Haider asked worriedly, looking at Duan Hongguo and clutching his collar with eyes full of concern.

Duan Hongguo stroked Haideer's head with a look of doting affection.

"It's nothing, just some work-related things to take care of. I'll be back tomorrow." Duan Hongguo pulled his wife into his arms, then kissed her again and again with reluctance. "Go to sleep now, don't worry about me, sweetie!"

Ever since he talked things out with his wife, he's been coaxing her to sleep like this every day.

The marks on his wife's body are proof of their love.

"Mmm~" After hearing Duan Hongguo's comforting words, Haideer slowly lay down again before letting go of his hand.

After comforting Haider and getting her to sleep, Duan Hongguo quickly left the house.

The guard drove away from the family compound. People in Pingcheng are actually very busy today.

In the days that followed.

Lin Qiyue had not heard from Lan Yuchu, so she called home to inquire about her family.
