Chapter 164 Lu Qingqing X Meng Yaozhu: I've Come to Find the Wind (Final Chapter Part 1)
Busy yet fulfilling, days passed by, each one fraught with hidden dangers.
Lu quietly found a moment to write a letter to Shi Yang.
Because of the war, the infrastructure here has been destroyed, and she can only contact her friends back home to let them know she is safe through the most primitive method of sending letters.
Her first question was to her goddaughter.
Shi Yangsheng was born; she was a fair-skinned and delicate little girl.
Unfortunately, she couldn't make it back in time, but Shi Yang sent her photos.
She was born with fair skin, her eyebrows and eyes resembled Ji Peiheng's, and her mouth resembled Shi Yang's; the little girl had completely inherited her parents' excellent genes.
The baby in the photo is smiling, a smile so sweet it could melt a deer's heart.
She asked about Shi Yang's postpartum recovery and also inquired about Wen Wanwan's recent situation.
I heard that Wen Wanwan found a boyfriend who is seven years older than her. It's an older man/younger woman relationship, and he spoils her like a child every day.
Lu Qingqing has always been a fan of certain couples.
I wrote a lot.
At the end of the letter, I added: All is well, don't worry.
He put down his pen, carefully folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and put it away.
He went out and continued to participate in the rescue efforts.
I was so busy that when I looked up again, the sun was about to set.
She had just found an open space to sit down when she saw a curly-haired man searching for someone. She recognized him; he was Ciro, the brother of the little girl she had saved.
Most likely, Bryce was playing hide-and-seek with her brother again, hiding in some corner that her brother couldn't find.
She smiled, shook her head, and went into the tent to rest.
She's been exhausted these past few days.
I closed my eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.
In her sleep, she heard a violent explosion ringing in her ears.
Startled, she opened her eyes.
Listening to the loud alarms and the whistles of well-trained soldiers assembling outside.
A chill ran through her; she feared that N country had launched another surprise attack.
Soon, the broadcast overhead confirmed her suspicions.
The broadcast instructed all unrelated personnel to immediately seek refuge in the air-raid shelter.
Lu Qingqing dared not delay on this matter of life and death, and ran out towards the air-raid shelter.
In the chaos, they bumped into Xiluo.
Xiluo looked anxious and ran in the exact opposite direction from her.
Lu gently grabbed his arm: "Where are you going? Why don't you go into the air-raid shelter?"
Xiluo spoke to her anxiously and excitedly.
Lu Qingqing felt colder and colder as she listened. He said that Bryce had disappeared in the afternoon.
He hasn't come back yet; he's searched everywhere but hasn't found him.
"Don't panic, let's explain the situation to the officer."
Lu Qingqing and Xiluo ran all the way to find the officer stationed here.
With a formidable enemy at hand, the commander had no time to spare for them.
Ignoring Xiluo's pleas, he ordered the soldiers to quickly drive them to the air-raid shelter.
To everyone's surprise, Xiluo shook off the soldier's hand and ran towards the outside of the base.
Lu Qingqing followed without thinking too much.
I could faintly hear the shouts and curses of the soldiers behind me.
The once bustling streets have long been reduced to ruins by the daily barrage of gunfire. The flames of war are still raging, and Xiluo is like a madman, rampaging through the streets amidst the hail of bullets.
Lu tried her best to pull him, but he was too strong and she couldn't hold on to him. Soon he disappeared from her sight.
Lu Qingqing had to search alone, and she kept calling out Bryce's name.
In the dark of night, amidst the smoke of battle, finding a little girl was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The constant sound of gunfire filled her ears, but perhaps because she was already in this environment, she was no longer so afraid.
Persistence pays off; she actually heard the little girl crying amidst the noise.
She followed the sound.
Finally, they found Blake in a collapsed house.
Bryce's leg was pinned down by a stone.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sister will take you out."
The deer gritted its teeth and used both hands to pry the stone, breaking off its fingernails and leaving streaks of blood on the stone.
She didn't care about anything else and pushed the stone with gritted teeth.
They finally rescued Bryce, whose leg was broken and whose condition was very bad.
Lu gently carried her back.
She had only run a few meters when she was enveloped by a huge light overhead, and several airplanes flew overhead, making her ears ring constantly.
The deer's light steps seemed rooted to the spot, and its blood seemed to flow backward.
At that moment, she felt death approaching.
She was so small in the raging flames.
Protecting the little girl beneath her body was the last thing she could do.
In the last second before she closed her eyes, a tall man suddenly grabbed her from behind and shoved her towards the trench ahead.
Lu Qingqing had no time to think about anything else; a huge wave of vibration assaulted her, and the intense burning sensation threatened to melt her.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she woke up from a state of confusion. She couldn't hear anything and everything she saw was double.
She struggled to her feet, shook her head to clear her mind a little, and went to check on Bryce's condition.
Fortunately, she only fainted.
She froze the next second.
Because a man collapsed next to her.
Although the man's face was obscured by dirt, she recognized him at a glance.
My mind went completely blank.
...
At dawn, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and enveloped the earth.
The sudden night raid has ended, and the rising sun has erased the pain and bloodshed of last night.
"Have you heard? An Asian man came to the camp. He saved Reporter Lu and he's still unconscious."
"Reporter Lu is still by that man's side; they say he's Reporter Lu's boyfriend."
Lu Qingqing was unaware of the rumors circulating outside; she was still guarding the container.
Meng Yaozhu was still unconscious. He had shielded her with his body last night. Although they managed to dodge in time, he was still injured by the shockwave of the explosion, and his back was covered in blood.
If he weren't lying right in front of her right now, she would still find it hard to believe that he would come here.
The unconscious man was still muttering to himself.
"lightly……"
"Lu Qingqing..."
Lu gently got up, wet a towel, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Just as I reached out, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by a tremendous force.
"Lu Qingqing!"
Meng Yaozhu opened his eyes and stared at her without moving.
It was as if he wanted to keep her deep in his heart.
Lu gently wiped his sweat with her other hand without changing her expression, but he still didn't let go of her hand.
Her voice was dry and hoarse: "I thought I would never see you again."
Lu sat down gently, trying her best to control her tone: "Why are you here?"
Meng Yaozhu gazed longingly at her face. She was darker and thinner than when she was in China, but her eyes were more resolute.
"Would you believe me if I said I came to see you?"
"I don't believe you. President Meng is a person of high status and wealth. This is not a place for you. You should leave as soon as possible."
She discovered that after six months, those memories she had deliberately forgotten in China came back to her clearly with his reappearance.
She thought she could let go, but when she saw him, she couldn't even remain calm.
Her barbed tone elicited a bitter smile from Meng Yaozhu, as if she were used to it.
He had already anticipated that she wouldn't give him a friendly look.
She also didn't want him to appear in front of her.
So he has been here for over a month, but he has not appeared in front of her. He only dares to secretly spy on her from behind the crowd.
Watching her broadcast live amidst the chaos of war, falling down and getting back up again; watching her tirelessly working for the wounded, even risking her own life for a little girl.
Everyone here loves her; she's so dazzling that no one can take their eyes off her.
