Chapter 244 Don't Leave Me Alone

"I want to go home..."

Zhu Yunwei raised her eyes and looked up, her gaze just meeting Feng Shuo's. Her eyes were moist and crystal clear but out of focus.

It seemed like she was talking to him, but in reality, it was like she was looking at someone else through him... or thinking about something.

"Okay, let's go home. Drink a few more sips of water, and then I'll take you home."

Feng Shuo's voice was softer and deeper than ever before, and he gently stroked Zhu Yunwei's hair as he spoke.

Zhu Yunying nodded obediently and was fed some saliva, which made her throat much clearer.

"No more, I'm full."

She pushed the cup, and her boneless hand fell on Feng Shuo's wrist, which was slightly cold.

"Do you know where my home is?"

She asked suddenly, and Feng Shuo paused as he put down the water cup.

Her home?

Isn't this their home?

Feng Shuo moved closer, looked into Zhu Yunwei's eyes, and asked, "Are you going back to the capital?"

"Beijing is not my home."

Zhu Yunying pursed her lips and chuckled.

Feng Shuo said in a deep voice, "Are we going back to the border compound? Why don't we go to the capital and go directly back to the military compound?"

Zhu Yunwei blinked her eyes, bit her lips with her pearly white teeth, leaving a faint white mark, and did not answer.

Feng Shuo held his breath helplessly. His heart was already in turmoil, but he had to appear calm on the surface. The key was that he could not say anything harsh and push the woman in front of him away.

"Want to go back to Haicheng? Then I'll go with you. Give me some time. I need to report to Political Commissar Zhang, okay?"

Feng Shuo's voice became lower and lower, without any confidence at all, only helpless flattery.

"Waiyao, let me stay with you, okay? Don't leave me alone... Please, Aiyao."

The ups and downs during this period made him anxious and worried. Many times in the middle of the night he woke up in his dreams, he saw Zhu Yunyao's resolute back.

He couldn't imagine, if one day Zhu Yunying really left him, how would he spend the rest of his life?

The first half of his life seemed glorious, but in fact he was just alone. It was not until he met Zhu Yunwei that he knew what it meant to be worried and unable to sleep alone.

Their meeting was already full of twists and turns, and every step they took thereafter was even more difficult.

I know too well how hard it is to regain what I have lost, so I am afraid that this is the last chance and I have already missed it.

"Aiai, take me home."

At this moment, no matter what Zhu Yunying said, as long as she could take him with her, he would agree.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yunwei would actually chuckle.

"My home isn't in Haicheng. It's farther and farther away, in the long, long future...

"Everyone is highly educated, and their material lives have improved significantly, but this also brings pressure. Everyone jokingly says they are like cattle and horses, oppressed by capital and unable to lift their heads or breathe.

But in this struggle, while everyone says they're giving up, they actually want to change. Some bury themselves in study, earning more certificates – what they call further education. Some marry, have children, and build families, supporting each other. Still others look forward to a trip, a movie, or a date, longing for a moment of enlightenment, a sudden realization, from these experiences.

Feng Shuo, guess which one I am?"

Zhu Yunying said a long string of words, and then she held Feng Shuo's face with her hands and gave him a wicked smile.

"If you guess it, I'll take you back with me. If you can't guess it, I'll snap my fingers and you'll disappear from my sight."

Feng Shuo's face was rubbed by her without any lightness or strength, but his words were firm.

"You want to travel."

This time it was Zhu Yunyao's turn to exclaim: "How do you know? I really want to be unrestrained and go wherever I want! But I've actually been to very few places..."

As she spoke, Zhu Yunwei's voice gradually lowered. She glanced at Feng Shuo with her eyes raised: "You can't possibly know. You're not really... You're just making it up."

Feng Shuo patiently held her in his arms, touched her forehead with his palm, and found that Zhu Yunying had a fever again.

"Aiya, I'll go get a doctor..."

Feng Shuo felt a little flustered and stood up to find a doctor.

Zhu Yunyao's expression changed instantly. She tugged at his clothes and angrily said, "Why do you always want to leave me? Do you think I'm a burden? But...what did I do wrong?

"If you don't like daughters, why did you give birth to me? If you don't like child marriages, why did you submit a marriage application? I was the one who saved you, why do you have to repay others?"

"Feng Shuo, you really know how to hurt people. I'm almost broken to pieces... mmm..."

Before Zhu Yunwei's voice became tearful, a touch of warmth covered her trembling lips, and the man's handsome but haggard face appeared in front of her.

"Let me stay with you... please..."

These words kept coming out from Feng Shuo's lips, over and over again, striking Zhu Yunyao's heart.

She struggled at first and didn't want to forgive him easily.

But in the end, the overwhelming kisses and the man's solid and broad chest gave her strong comfort and gradually softened her defenses.

I soon fell asleep again and had a good night's sleep.

Zhu Yunying had a pleasant dream, in which she told Feng Shuo everything about her life in a parallel future.

Feng Shuo was not as surprised as she had imagined, and he didn't even doubt her at all. Instead, he said that he would accompany her on the trip, anywhere!

There really is everything in dreams!

The team leader can run around everywhere!

When Zhu Yunying thought of herself, she couldn't help but chuckle, and the hospital bed trembled slightly with her laughter.

"What are you laughing at? What kind of sweet dream did Yaoyao have so early in the morning?"

A hug came from behind, and a familiar low voice was heard next to her ear, which made Zhu Yunying's body stiffen and she subconsciously held her breath.

She didn't dare look back, but she hoped that what happened last night was not a dream.

It’s really Feng Shuo!

"Yingying, are you still angry?" Feng Shuo felt that something was wrong with Zhu Yunying. Perhaps Zhu Yunying was the only one who was normal and sober at this moment.

The talking in my sleep yesterday due to high fever was more like a dream with my senses infinitely expanded.

But no matter whether it was a dream or not, as long as Yaoyao wanted it, Feng Shuo would definitely let her get it.

"It's my fault. I was so delusional and didn't recognize people, so I did such a stupid thing! From now on..."

Feng Shuo said this, feeling very annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunyao slowly turned over in bed and met the man's gaze with her moist eyes: "How did you become the leader if you are so stupid?"

"Ahhh..."

Feng Shuo was a little confused about Zhu Yunwei's attitude. She seemed to be still angry, but he could vaguely taste a bit of coquettishness in her.

Zhu Yunying snorted unhappily: "In the final analysis, it was you who had the idea. Otherwise, why wouldn't you suspect her? On my first night with the army, someone grabbed my throat and accused me of being an enemy spy—"
