Chapter 70 I want to hug you, I want to kiss you even more.

Jiang Ning suddenly shifted the topic to the soldiers, and after a few words, she managed to silence the clamoring men.

In particular, when she asked, "Are the soldiers tired?", not a single person objected.

"Instead of getting hung up on wanting my candy, you should help more injured patients. I don't deny your willingness to come to the disaster area, but in this special time, I hope you remember why you're here!" Jiang Ning's tone was firm and her aura was powerful.

Someone muttered under their breath, "Tch, they make it sound so nice, but they just don't want to share the sugar."

"Well said!" Just as the voice in the crowd finished speaking, a strong voice suddenly rang out from outside.

The curtain of the rescue tent was opened, and Brigade Commander Liang walked in, followed by a man covered in mud.

After scanning the tent, Brigade Commander Liang said, "Dr. Jiang's candy was for the soldiers in the disaster area. I have already had it distributed to the soldiers who are resting. Please be understanding of Dr. Jiang; she really doesn't have any more candy for you."

Commander Liang is indeed a leader; his words are impeccable.

From a leadership perspective, he is the leader, and everyone who came here is a volunteer to help. In this critical situation, no one is at fault. If he criticizes them for this, it will only cause more dissatisfaction among many people.

But his words also specifically explained to Jiang Ning where that big bag of candy went.

When they heard Brigade Commander Liang say that the candy was for the soldiers, the people who had just been arguing about the candy suddenly felt their faces burning.

Those who had spoken the loudest to Jiang Ning earlier blushed with shame.

Who would have thought that the big bag of candy Jiang Ning brought was actually for the soldiers in the disaster area?

Commander Liang spoke up at the right moment, "Everyone has worked hard. I had someone bring clean water and dry food. Please have some."

He glanced behind him, and the person behind him lifted the curtain and said in a calm voice, "Bring everything in."

Hearing that familiar, hoarse voice, Jiang Ning looked up and saw behind Commander Liang. Although he was so dirty that he was almost unrecognizable, the voice and those eagle-like eyes convinced her that the 'dirty' figure was Shen Mo!

Soldiers brought in their rations, and amidst the chaos, the matter was resolved.

After confirming that the other person was Shen Mo, Jiang Ning almost wanted to rush over. Although she missed Shen Mo a little when she was alone in the family compound, she didn't expect that seeing him now would make her miss him even more.

I long for his warm embrace.

As Jiang Ning was about to walk over, her clothes were suddenly tugged.

She looked down and saw a patient whose leg had been crushed and was in excruciating pain.

Jiang Ning immediately squatted down and took out silver needles to relieve his pain. When she put away the silver needles and stood up, there was no one left at the door.

By the time the patients in the rescue tent had stabilized, it was already evening. Jiang Ning wiped the sweat from her forehead and went outside.

Perhaps it was Heaven's mercy to see how hard the soldiers were working in the disaster relief efforts, because the rain that had been falling for several days had finally stopped. The moon, which had been hidden behind the dark clouds, was no longer shy, and its cool moonlight enveloped the earth, casting a bright glow on the disaster area where power had not yet been restored. On the two pillars outside the shed, a kerosene lamp hung on each side, its warm yellow light illuminating a small area.

Jiang Ning seemed to notice something and subconsciously looked to the right. In the area illuminated by warm light, a figure was leaning against a pillar.

Jiang Ning's eyesight was also quite good. The dirt on the man's face had been washed off, and half of his resolute and handsome face was illuminated by a warm orange-yellow light, while the other half remained hidden in shadow.

Shen Mo seems to have fallen asleep.

Jiang Ning walked over slowly and gently.

The man's brows showed an unquenchable weariness, revealing how exhausted he had been lately. She didn't want to disturb Shen Mo, but she also wanted to touch him.

He seemed uncomfortable leaning against the pillar, his brows slightly furrowed. Jiang Ning reached out to smooth his brows, but her hand was grabbed before she could touch him.

The grip wasn't strong, and Jiang Ning didn't break free. Shen Mo had also come to accept the fact that his wife had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Honey... what brings you to the disaster area?"

Jiang Ning blinked. "Come and help! I can't let all my medical skills go to waste."

Shen Mo was a little disappointed that his wife hadn't come specifically to see him, but only a little. In the face of disaster, saving people was the top priority.

I had just successfully completed my plan when I heard my wife say—

"But I also missed you, wanted to hug you, and wanted to be your support, which is why I came."

Shen Mo's dark eyes narrowed slightly. The next second, he raised his arms, but before he could hug her, Jiang Ning stuck out a finger to stop him.

These hands, which once held off thousands of troops, are now blocked by a single, delicate white finger.

The girl's soft voice rang out, "Don't hug me now, it's a bit dirty."

Jiang Ning didn't mind him, but she did mind the mud all over him.

Shen Mo thought his wife's voice was especially pleasant to hear at that moment.

He suddenly looked down, then raised his hand and began to unbutton his shirt.

Jiang Ning coughed twice when she saw his actions, "You...you're taking off your clothes, why are you taking them off? I'm not cold, stop it!"

Although it's already night and most people have gone to bed, that doesn't mean there's no one around!

Shen Mo unbuttoned his coat, revealing that he was wearing a military green vest underneath.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was still wearing clothes underneath. A pair of large hands flashed before her eyes, and Jiang Ning was pulled into a warm embrace.

A pair of large hands carefully landed on the girl's back. The warmth and the sound of her heartbeat confirmed to him that this was not a dream.

Jiang Ning also reached her hand under his coat and hugged his strong, thin waist.

Yes, it still feels the same, but it's much thinner and more durable than before.

He must have been very tired during this time.

Jiang Ning didn't linger in his arms; in fact, she really wanted to stay a little longer.

But that's just how things are these days; you can't leave yourself open to gossip.

I've never been in a relationship in the real world. When my former lab colleagues were dating, their cloying affection was like they were living in a honey pot, which was almost unbearable to watch, but also strangely sweet.

When she called, her female colleague started speaking in a coquettish tone, which gave her goosebumps.

It turns out that when you're in a relationship, you really can't help but want to act cute and affectionate.

She stepped out of Shen Mo's embrace and said, "It's a little cold."

Upon hearing that she was cold, Shen Mo quickly said, "Then you go in first."

Jiang Ning was somewhat exasperated with this straight man. She pouted and unconsciously began to whine, "Don't you have anything else here? Like a campfire or something? I want to stay with you a little longer."

Shen Mo: "!!!"

Is this really his wife?!

He rarely heard that soft tone of voice, and hearing it suddenly was almost unbearable.

I want to hug you, and even more so, I want to kiss you.

But the current situation was not appropriate, and he remembered that Jiang Ning had just said she was cold. He took Jiang Ning's hand and led her as they walked, saying, "The soldiers have lit fires where they are resting. I'll take you there."
