Chapter 196 The Return of the Missing Person

Xiao Weilai nodded.

"Wen Ni told us a long time ago that she wanted us to mentor you and expose you to business. Although you're still in school, your older sister was already capable of handling things on her own at your age, and she hopes you can grow up quickly like her!"

"elder sister……"

When her older sister Wen Ni was mentioned, Wen Cheng's eyes became firm, and all her timidity and lack of confidence disappeared!

"Okay! I'll go!"

"Good lad."

Xiao Weilai patted Wen Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Go back to your homework."

Under the flickering lights of the night, a young boy writes furiously!

For the next few days, everything proceeded as usual.

The earthquake situation in Phoenix Town has stabilized, and no aftershocks have occurred.

According to the analysis of experts from the Earthquake Administration, this earthquake is finally nearing its end!

"Our mission ends here. The post-disaster reconstruction work will now be handled by your 357th Company and the town police station!"

"Yes! Thank you very much, Commander Lu and all the comrades, for your support during this time!"

"This is what we should do."

The captain and the military police officer saluted each other, shook hands, and then he turned and got into the military vehicle.

The car horn honked a few times.

The special forces officers then leisurely walked out of the garrison building!

They were all around 1.8 meters tall and dressed in tactical gear, making them extremely eye-catching!

Wen Ni, walking at the very front, was even more eye-catching with her heroic and dashing appearance!

"Sir! Female sergeant!"

"These are vegetables we grew in our own field, not much! You can take them home! And this bag is for the young man who saved me and Aunt Liu last time!"

Aunt Zheng was dragging a large sack of vegetables and fruits, about to load them into the back of the truck!

Beside her was a short-haired girl, who was also carrying a bag. The girl's eyes were a little strange as she looked Wen Ni up and down.

“Auntie, our army has regulations that prohibit us from taking even a needle or thread from the people.” Wen Ni took off her sunglasses and gently refused Aunt Zheng’s offer.

"Oh? These things aren't worth much! You can take them! It's fine!" Aunt Zheng was about to load them onto the car.

Leng Feng leaned over and said, "Auntie, we'll be punished for breaking the rules! You should keep it for yourself! We appreciate your kindness!"

"Oh, you children are so kind!"

Aunt Zheng wiped away her tears and quickly took her daughter's hand.

"Xiaoping! Quickly thank the officers! If it weren't for them, your mother and all these villagers might not be alive today!"

"..."

Xiaoping remained silent.

She just stared blankly up at me for a long time before asking uncertainly, "You, are you Wen Ni?"

"Um."

"It really is you! Do you remember me? I'm Zheng Xiaoping!"

"Remember."

Wen Ni actually recognized her at a glance.

I never expected that she would be Aunt Zheng's daughter.

The last time Wen Ni returned to the village, she met Zheng Xiaoping and Xie Wei on the bus. At that time, Zheng Xiaoping was very hostile towards Wen Ni!

"You're actually in the army?" Zheng Xiaoping blinked, reaching out to touch Wen Ni's weapon pouch with an air of familiarity. "You look pretty cool in that uniform. What's in there...?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Wen Ni took a step back, looking down as she casually wrapped the wristband around her wrist.

"Well, you do seem really impressive, no wonder Brother Xie Wei can't forget you!"

Zheng Xiaoping rubbed his hands together, but still couldn't help asking, "Wen Ni, I want to know if you really don't like Xie Wei at all? I heard from Xie Wei that... he confessed to you, but you rejected him?"

"I don't have time to waste on these boring things." Wen Ni turned around, not forgetting to nod politely to Aunt Zheng. "Thank you, Aunt Zheng. We have to go now."

"Wait! Wen Ni!"

Zheng Xiaoping caught up with them.

Wen Ni strode towards the military vehicle without stopping.

"Wen Ni! Although you're very capable now, Xie Wei is no less so! You two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, how could you not like him? Do you know that he was heartbroken for a long time because you rejected him!"

"Just because he's outstanding, does that mean I have to like him?" Wen Ni opened the car door, her smile enigmatic. "Besides, what does his sadness have to do with me? Am I supposed to turn around and comfort every person I reject? Sorry, I don't have that kind of free time!"

"Is that really what you think? If you don't like Xie Wei, then I'm going to pursue him. Don't try to take him from me!" Zheng Xiaoping's face turned red.

"You can pursue her however you want. I've said it's none of my business!"

Wen Ni coldly tossed out a sentence.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over a figure who had been standing for a long time not far behind the car. But she quickly looked away, got into the car without hesitation, and closed the door!

The military vehicle then started and drove onto the road.

Zheng Xiaoping stood there for a while before turning around. Only then did she see Xie Wei standing by the roadside, carrying several bags of gifts!

Xie Wei looked very dejected, which meant he must have overheard her conversation with Wen Ni!

Zheng Xiaoping was first startled, then secretly delighted.

This time... Xie Wei should have completely given up on Wen Ni, right?

"Brother Xie Wei!"

With a beaming smile, Zheng Xiaoping skipped and hopped towards Xie Wei.

Xie Wei was finally brought back to his senses by her!

He bowed his head and handed the things in his hands to Xiaoping. "Xiaoping, I heard that Phoenix Town has been unsealed and reconstruction work has begun. So I specially bought some things to come back and see the folks here..."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xie Wei! Brother Xie Wei, come to my house with me, my mom will cook for you!"

"No, no need. I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do in the city. I'll take the next bus back right away."

"No... wait a minute, Brother Xie Wei..."

Before Zheng Xiaoping could finish speaking, Xie Wei had already turned around and walked towards the bus station sign, looking somewhat lost.

Watching Xie Wei's retreating figure, Zheng Xiaoping bit her lower lip in frustration and stomped her foot in resentment!

"When will Xie Wei finally understand? I'm the one who likes him the most!"

Sunset

Their shadows stretched very, very long…

The stars shift and the seasons change

The light of dawn heralds a new day.

The earthquake mission lasted for almost a month.

It has been almost a month since Wen Ni first stepped into the gates of Huaguo Medical University.

Walking on campus, I saw students on both sides heading to the teaching buildings for classes.

Wen Ni did not return to her dormitory, but went directly to the classroom of Clinical Medicine Class 2.

Her appearance was like the return of a missing person; everyone's attention was instantly focused on her!

As the weather turned cooler, she wore a simple denim jacket that loosely draped over her slender body. Her hair was naturally draped over her shoulders, and her unadorned face was serene yet exuded an indescribable coolness.

"My goodness, everyone look, who is this?"

"Oh my god, isn't this Wen Ni who took a month's leave? If she hadn't come, I would have thought she had dropped out of school!"

In the multimedia classroom, the students whispered among themselves.

Wen Ni didn't care about her classmates' comments.

Holding a textbook in her hand, she walked to the back of the classroom, found an empty seat, and sat down!

A bottle of Yakult fell in front of me.

Wen Ni turned to look at the person sitting next to her; it was An Xi.

"Sister, you've taken a really long vacation."

"..." Wen Ni shrugged, picked up her Yakult and clinked it against the one in her hand, then tilted her head back and drank it.

"If I ask you what mission you went on, you won't tell me, will you?" Anxi looked around, then leaned closer with a mysterious and cautious expression.

"No," Wen Ni answered readily.
