Chapter 7 Getting in the Car

Lying in her mother's arms, Lin Momo slept exceptionally soundly that night. The maternal love she had lost in the past eight years was completely filled up at this moment.

On the next day, Cheng Jinghao arrived very early, and with him came Cheng's parents, who came to send the couple to the station.

Lin's father and mother went there together. When they arrived at the station, Lin's brother and sister-in-law were already waiting there.

"Did you say you were going to send me off?" Lin Momo couldn't help crying when she saw her brother and sister-in-law.

In her previous life, she was an only child. In just a few days, they made her feel emotions that she had never felt in her previous life.

"If I can't bear to leave you, I'll make an appointment with your sister-in-law to come over and see you off." Cao Shulan had a smile on her face, but tears had already flowed out. After marrying into the Lin family for several years, she truly regarded Lin Momo as her own sister.

"Remember to write back." Zhang Hui held her hand, tears streaming down her face.

"Okay." Lin Momo nodded while crying.

Seeing her crying, Cao Shulan cried herself and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Mother Cheng looked at how the three aunts and sisters-in-law of the Lin family got along, nodded secretly, and felt that this daughter-in-law was a good choice.

"Take good care of Momo. If I find out that you bully her, I'll punish you when you come back." Mother Cheng said to Cheng Jinghao.

"I will." Cheng Jinghao agreed, looking at Lin Momo who was crying, and pursed his lips.

"Jinghao, Momo, we'll leave it to you." The Lin family father and son spoke to Cheng Jinghao in a trusting manner, and Cheng Jinghao nodded in agreement.

"Remember, I'm telling you, defending the country is what modern men should do." Father Cheng looked at Cheng Jinghao.

"Yes." Cheng Jinghao stood up straight and nodded solemnly.

The train was about to start, and the conductor was already urging the passengers to get on board.

Cheng Jinghao was carrying a backpack, holding Lin Momo's two suitcases in one hand, and pulling Lin Momo, who was crying uncontrollably, into the car with the other hand. On his shoulders were also hanging the dry food prepared by the two mothers.

"Stop crying. If you keep crying the carriage will be flooded with water." After getting on the train, Cheng Jinghao placed her in the lower berth. Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the entire sleeper compartment.

"Cheng Jinghao." Lin Momo looked at him while sobbing.

"I'm here, go ahead." Cheng Jinghao took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

“I feel bad…”

"Eat some candy, White Rabbit milk candy. In this era, the taste is so pure." Cheng Jinghao took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, removed the packaging and stuffed it into her mouth.

"I want more." Lin Momo took one in her mouth and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"And more, and more." Cheng Jinghao took out another one and continued feeding.

"Hmm..." Lin Momo was satisfied only after holding a candy in one cheek. She covered her mouth, fearing that the candy would fall out.

"Does this make you feel better now?" Cheng Jinghao curled his lips helplessly. This habit has remained unchanged for many years.

Lin Momo had candy in her mouth, so she could only nod after hearing what was said.

"You sleep on the upper bunk at night, it's safer, and I'll watch over you downstairs." Cheng Jinghao said as he put his luggage away.

"Um."

"Momo."

"Hmm?" Lin Momo looked at him.

"The conditions in the military zone are difficult, but don't worry, I will do my best to make you live a good life." Cheng Jinghao suddenly looked at her.

"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded vigorously while holding the candy in her mouth.

Even though the two of them had grown up together, she was the one who basically bullied him. However, Cheng Jinghao had fought with other children for her.

Lin Momo finally finished eating the candy, and Cheng Jinghao handed her a teacup of water.

"Didn't you go out to get some water?" Lin Momo looked at him curiously.

"Drink it. It's a long journey and I'm worried you may not be able to bear it." Cheng Jinghao pushed the teacup forward.

Lin Momo immediately understood that this was spiritual spring water. He immediately picked up the teacup and started drinking.

“It’s so sweet.” Lin Momo took a sip and finished the water. She instantly felt relaxed and all the tiredness from getting up early was gone.

"Good stuff." She couldn't help but sigh.

"Cheng Jinghao, what does the military area look like? Are we living in a courtyard or..." Lin Momo asked curiously. She didn't know how to describe the houses in the Tibetan area.

Cheng Jinghao sat down next to her, looked at her and said, "I applied for this house before I came back. It was built not long ago. I asked my comrades to help clean it up before I came back. You can live in it when you get there."

"I have never come into contact with military families, so don't worry. I'm here, and we are not afraid of trouble."

"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded after listening to him.

"Is it dangerous when you are on a mission?" Lin Momo looked at him. She only knew about these things from novels and TV.

"Mo Mo, I'm a soldier." It was the same in this life as it was in my last life.

Lin Momo looked at him. Most of her memories of Cheng Jinghao were before she was 18 years old.

After he went to the army, he would only occasionally use his phone to talk about his current situation. Most of the time, it was she who did the talking and it would take a long time for him to reply.

Until their parents died, he hurried back to help her deal with the funeral arrangements, and then he was taken away. Later, she found out that he had joined the special forces.

Later, she was busy with her studies and work, and they kept in touch less and less. On every birthday and New Year's Day, Cheng Jinghao would send her text messages and red envelopes.

If it was that big event and Cheng Jinghao suddenly appeared in front of her, she would know when they would meet again.

"Cheng Jinghao, do you know? After my parents and my uncle and aunt left, I wanted you to hug me so much, but you just left like that." Lin Momo burst into tears.

It was as if she was crying out all the grievances and the hardship she had endured alone in her previous life for eight years.

“Momo, I’m sorry.” Cheng Jinghao looked at her at a loss. He wanted to reach out and hug her but was worried that she would push him away, so he could only clench his fists.

"But why did you want to die with me?" The original grievance and resentment turned into nothingness because of the last scene of the previous life.

"Momo, listen to me. I am a soldier and I have my mission. I was wrong in my last life. I should have abandoned you. In this life, I will protect the country instead of you. Okay?"

In his previous life, Cheng Jinghao was spotted by the special forces as soon as he joined the army. During the closed training, he rarely had the opportunity to contact the outside world and almost lost his girl.

Since God has given him this opportunity, in this life, he wants both the country and Lin Momo. Although this girl still doesn't know his feelings for her, can he still stay by her side?

Lin Momo stood up from his arms and blinked at him. What did he mean by this? Why is it so awkward?

Cheng Jinghao avoided her gaze and said, "Do you want to eat eggs? My mom cooked some eggs and brought them over."

"You eat yellow, and I eat white." Sure enough, Lin Momo's thoughts were disrupted by him.

"Okay." Cheng Jinghao took out the eggs from his small bag and began to peel the shells. When Lin Momo was little, she only ate the egg whites and not the yolks.
