Chapter 182 The Person He Likes

"Lu Jinye?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wen Ni was utterly astonished.

She frowned at the person in front of her. "Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

"I'm not crazy." Lu Jinye's eyes were full of tenderness, and his slightly pursed lips showed restraint and forbearance.

"I'll truly go crazy when you're buried in the rubble, your fate unknown!"

"To be honest, I did worry you." Wen Ni lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you."

"You still know how to thank me? But you really have no conscience. You didn't even look at me before planning to sneak away?" Lu Jinye glanced at the group that was about to depart, his words a mix of joke and distraction.

"I don't want to interfere with your recovery."

"You're getting more and more adept at lying these days." He suddenly bent down, looking her in the eye with her eyes very close!

His gaze made Wen Ni catch her breath.

She stiffened, but calmly looked back and said, "I didn't."

"Lying." He chuckled softly, then called her name, "Wen Ni," with utmost seriousness.

"Um?"

"Have I ever told you? I don't like emotionally stable girls, and I don't need someone to leave the lights on for me at home." Lu Jinye's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "The person I like can have their heart in the wilderness, and their soul can be bound to the mountains and rivers!"

The sudden words, seemingly without reason, made Wen Ni's heart beat faster uncontrollably.

He did indeed overhear her conversation with Lu Zhenbang.

"Really?" Wen Ni said calmly. "Then your type is quite unique."

"Yes." Lu Jinye slowly straightened up, looking down at her. "Not only unique, but also rare in the world, one of a kind!"

"..."

Wen Ni twitched the corner of her mouth, but didn't dare to reply!

"Why are they so close together? What are they saying?" Standing behind, Xiwen stood on tiptoe, peeking curiously. "Is Brother Lu confessing his feelings?"

Li Shu, in her wheelchair, shrugged. "Have you ever seen a confession where both people look like they owe each other eight million?"

"That makes sense." Xiwen didn't understand.

"Captain Lu, get ready to depart!" The troops called out at just the right moment.

Very good.

Wen Ni's tense heart relaxed slightly.

She turned around with exceptional agility and reopened the car door, not forgetting to calmly wave at Lu Jinye, "You're still not well, go back and rest, we're about to leave!"

"be safe."

"Um."

Wen Ni responded.

But as soon as she sat in the back seat of the military vehicle, she heard knocking on the rear window again. She turned her head and saw that the person outside the window was still Lu Jinye.

"What's wrong?" She rolled down the car window, her eyes filled with confusion.

"I suddenly remembered something I forgot to say."

What words? What words?

Wen Ni lowered her eyes slightly, looking at his slender fingers resting on the edge of the car window.

His deep voice was in my ear, and he spoke slowly!

"As a partner who has walked alongside you, I sincerely wish you that in the future you can freely and wholeheartedly pursue your freedom and your ideals. You don't have to force yourself to be devoted to anyone; you can always move forward without hesitation and bravely be yourself."

She stared blankly at the bright smile that curved his lips!

The car starts.

Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror.

A jumble of thoughts popped into Wen Ni's mind!

What did he mean by that?

Suddenly wishing her well?

And why are you laughing so happily?

What else is there to say? As a partner who has worked with us?

Isn't this what she said to Captain Lu?

What? Is he angry with her?

Is he planning to sever all ties with her and never see her again?

etc……

Isn't this the result she wanted? So why does she feel so unhappy?

"Boss, boss?"

"Uh-huh?"

"This is a topographic map of the area we are going to support, as well as a map showing the distribution of facilities and residential buildings."

Leng Feng rarely saw Wen Ni looking so distracted.

But he didn't dare to make any sarcastic remarks!

After all, the man's biological father, Captain Lu, was sitting in the passenger seat!

“Okay, let me see.” Wen Ni took the map and saw that the upper right corner read “[Phoenix Town Map]”.

Put those conflicted thoughts aside for now.

A cool breeze blew in through the rolled-down car window, dispelling the heat from her face!

It turns out that the place she was going to provide support for was actually her hometown, Phoenix Town.

Before we knew it, the car had driven quite a distance.

The journey will also pass by the 77515 garrison.

At this moment, five large buses were parked in a row in front of the gate of the 77515 garrison.

There were also a group of students on the bus who had finished their military training and were preparing to return to school!

"What's going on? We've been waiting for over ten minutes, why hasn't the car started moving yet?"

"The military is on a mission and needs to pass each other. Let them go first." The instructor in charge of escorting them calmed everyone down. "Don't worry, students, wait a little longer!"

"On a mission? What kind of mission?" The students were very curious and looked out the window.

As she gazed out the window, Wang Zhiyuan suddenly exclaimed, "That person sitting in the car in front looks so familiar!"

"look familiar?"

Zhen Yuan looked over expectantly, but what she saw almost made her jaw drop!

"Wen Ni!? Isn't that Wen Ni!?"

"Who!? Wen Ni from our class?"

The students on the bus from Class 2 of Clinical Medicine all went wild, and one by one they stood up and rushed to the window.

Ji Mingzhe, who was resting with his eyes closed, was also awakened by their noise.

He hesitated and looked out the window, just in time to see a black SUV driving by below!

Because it was a narrow road for passing other vehicles, the military vehicles were driving very slowly.

Through the open car window, the girl's delicate profile was unforgettable, so her classmates couldn't possibly mistake her for someone else!

"Wen Ni suddenly stopped participating in our military training a few days ago, and I thought she had gone back to school! I didn't expect... she didn't go back at all, and she's still sitting in a military vehicle? Where is that military vehicle taking her?"

"The clothes she's wearing seem different from the camouflage uniforms worn by other soldiers. They look very fitted and handsome, like... a special forces unit in a TV show!"

"What special forces? Don't talk nonsense." Wang Zhiyuan chuckled. "If she came from the special forces, I could fly a rocket to Mars!"

"Instructor Meng, do you know what's going on?" Zhen Yuan asked Meng Yuan.

All the students' curious gazes fell on Meng Yuan!

Instructor Meng blinked and casually made up a story: "Wen Ni... actually, she was sent to a higher-level unit for special military training because she performed exceptionally well in the first few days of military training. She left in a hurry, so she didn't tell you."

"Oh, I see!"

"That's really tragic!"

Wang Zhiyuan gloated.

"She doesn't look well; she must have been tortured terribly!"

“After all, she has a military background! This way of training is fair~” Zhen Yuan laughed along.

Anxi, who knew a little about Wen Ni's identity, sat silently in the corner.

She closed her eyes and listened to their self-indulgent banter, only curving her lips in a mocking smile.

Silently, I cursed in my heart:

A bunch of idiots!

Military vehicles carrying soldiers drove by one after another.

The school bus also returned to Huaguo Medical University as scheduled.

The grueling two-week military training has finally come to an end.

Wen Ni directly asked the school for leave, and the specific date of her return to school could not be determined. The school expressed its understanding.

The town of Fenghuang was greatly affected by the earthquake.

When Wen Ni arrived, she was greeted by a scene that looked like an apocalyptic war!

The sky was filled with yellow dust and sand, and the town's residential buildings and other structures were tilted and broken, with some even reduced to ruins. People were displaced and had to live in tents temporarily set up by the government.

The villages surrounding the town weren't much better off.

Cracked earth.

The collapsed bungalow.

Adults and children alike were covered in dirt and mud. Their eyes were vacant as they sat in front of their former homes, reluctant to leave for a long time.

"The soldiers are the garrison! They brought supplies!"

"Don't fight over it, we'll be pressing people's hair down in a bit!"

The crowd surged forward, but fearing the guns on their bodies, they retreated one after another.
