Chapter 140 Because I miss you, so much
The phone, which had been silent for a long time, finally made some noise, and Lu Zhenyu picked it up to look at it.
Shen Jingsi posted two messages in a row:
"I haven't gone back yet; work is a bit tricky."
"I heard you went to the border. Are you tired? Did you encounter any difficult problems? Have you been eating on time?"
Lu Zhenyu, wrapped in a blanket and sitting on the bed, typed rapidly, "Yeah, I came as soon as Yiqiao needed help. It's not too tiring, the funding issues have been resolved, and the food is pretty good, but I don't have much of an appetite."
After thinking for a moment, she sent another message: "Are you very busy over there?"
Less than three seconds after the message was sent, the other party called.
Shi Yiqiao, who was resting with her eyes closed, was leaning against someone comfortably when suddenly there was nothing under her head, and she awkwardly fell onto the bed wrapped in a blanket.
Seeing the girl putting on her shoes and clothes and running outside, I exclaimed, "Hey!"
What kind of person is this? He's practically an ex-husband now, and he's still making phone calls behind people's backs.
The snow outside was much heavier than during the day. Lu Zhenyu found a corner to sit down and answered the phone.
The voice on the other end called out first, "Zhenzhen?"
"Wait a mininute!"
Lu Zhenyu plugged in the wired headphones and put them in her ears, wrapped herself in her thick cotton-padded coat, and then tucked her hands into her sleeves.
After making sure he was warm enough, he finally spoke, "I'm all better now. What were you saying?"
The person on the other end was very patient. "I said, Zhenzhen?"
"Hmm?" the girl responded softly.
That sounds really good.
The fatigue from working with the expert team for several consecutive nights was completely swept away.
I really wanted to call out again, but Shen Jingsi didn't.
There was no response from the other end. Lu Zhenyu pressed, "That's all?"
The man's voice was a little hoarse, "Yes, didn't you hear me?"
"What?" Her face was a little stiff from the cold, and Lu Zhenyu rubbed her palms. "It's snowing here today, and it's a bit cold outside. I was putting on my clothes and headphones and didn't hear you."
Shen Jingsi didn't answer the question again. "Did I call you and that's why you came out?"
Lu Zhenyu said, "Yiqiao is tired after a long day, and I don't want to disturb her."
Shen Jingsi quickly said, "Then you can go back now. I'll send you a WeChat message."
Lu Zhenyu: "No rush, I actually have something I want to ask you."
Shen Jingsi: "What is it?"
The moment her forehead bumped into Feng Jinzhou's chest in the evening reminded Lu Zhenyu of something she had overlooked. "So, was what happened at the Swiss Hotel just a coincidence?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end. "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
"Answer me first."
After a long while, a voice came from the other end: "No."
She pursed her pink lips, which exhaled a long puff of white mist, and said, "You knew I was here, so you deliberately came to find me, didn't you?"
Seeing that the person remained silent, Lu Zhenyu pressed on, "It wasn't just that one time, was it?"
A man's long silence is the most powerful answer.
She said that her four-year round-the-world trip had been so smooth that she had suspected someone was protecting her in secret, but she thought it was Feng Manman and Feng Jinzhou.
After letting out a few deep breaths, Lu Zhenyu couldn't quite describe her feelings.
Faced with the endless silence on the other end of the line, the girl's tone was slightly disappointed, "Alright, since you don't want to answer, I won't force you. Get some rest, I'm hanging up..."
"Because I miss you."
Lu Zhenyu frowned. "What did you say?"
Finally speaking, Shen Jingsi repeated, "I said, because I miss you."
I missed her so much, every day and every night, every minute and every second, so even though I knew I had no right to disturb the girl's peaceful and happy life, I still went there secretly.
Standing far away from her, I silently accompanied her on her journey, recording her brilliant and passionate rebirth, repeating the cycle for four years.
This time, it was Lu Zhenyu's turn to remain silent.
The two ends of the phone fell silent. Looking at the thumbs-up from the attending physician in the emergency room, Shen Jingsi finally exhaled the breath that had been held in his chest for many days.
He smiled, his eyes falling on the porcelain doll sleeping peacefully in the sterile ward, and gave the expert team a thumbs up.
I took my phone and went outside the villa to breathe in the fresh air I hadn't had in a long time.
Looking at the starry sky, Shen Jingsi spoke softly, "And what about you, Zhenzhen?"
After a long pause, the voice on the other end of the line finally answered, "What did I say?"
"Why did you suddenly message me tonight?"
In the girl's silence, he said, "Don't you miss me a little bit too?"
"..."
-
To be honest, Feng Jinzhou's trip was worthwhile. With the people he brought, we don't have to worry about snow removal anymore.
Si Wei arrived at noon that day. He was the most noble heir of the Si Qing Arms Group, and he was dressed exquisitely from head to toe.
Wearing a military overcoat, Lu Zhenyu looked even more like a country bumpkin from the village when she stood in front of him.
Siwei suppressed a laugh, and while everyone was working, he secretly took two pictures of the girl with two ponytails and sent them to his brother.
Lu Zhenyu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but since he was now her sugar daddy, the refugees in the entire camp were counting on his donations and supplies to survive this winter, so she greeted him with a smile.
Pulling off his sunglasses and glancing around, Si Wei casually asked, "Where's that woman?"
Lu Zhenyu, who was counting the supplies, didn't even lift her eyelids, and said casually, "Who is it? We have plenty of women here."
He cleared his throat twice, then puffed out his chest with an air of arrogance. "My ex, Ms. Shi Yiqiao."
"Oh, they've arrived at the scene."
"What scene?"
Lu Zhenyu casually pointed to the distant, billowing smoke, "The battlefield, huh? They're filming videos."
"What?!"
Just then, a burst of bombing came from that direction. Si Wei suddenly took off his sunglasses. "Is this woman crazy? Is she rushing here to die?"
Despite his complaints, his actions betrayed him; he grabbed an empty car and headed in that direction.
Lu Zhenyu wasn't unconcerned about her friends; she simply knew that everyone has their own life to live.
Doesn't Shi Yiqiao fear death when facing gunfire all day long?
For her, there was something more important than death that she wanted to uphold.
There were many smiles in the refugee camp today. After a year away, they finally welcomed a new little life.
Lu Zhenyu personally stood by the child's side and watched the birth.
It's a boy, very robust. I heard that when his mother was pregnant with him, she ate only one steamed bun for half a month, but the little guy is still so healthy.
Seeing Lu Zhenyu crouching by the bed, looking on expectantly, the child's mother suggested that she hold her.
She quickly waved her hand, "No, I'm afraid he'll fall."
The child's mother asked softly, "Have you ever had children?"
Lu Zhenyu paused for a moment, then nodded, remembering the tree in Qingshan Manor. "Yes, there was one, a little princess."
The child's mother nodded and lifted the child up again, saying, "A mother wouldn't drop her child. Give him a hug; you're his benefactor too."
Her hands, hanging at her sides, opened and closed repeatedly. In the end, Lu Zhenyu followed a woman's example and took the swaddled baby into her arms.
The little one had just finished nursing and was fast asleep, his little mouth still making sucking motions in his sleep.
Newborn babies are not actually good-looking, but in the eyes of all mothers, their appearance surpasses all the beauty in the world.
As she watched, Lu Zhenyu's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was stuck there.
He held it for a while, then returned it to his mother and went back to the barracks alone.
After lying on the bed for a long time, she finally picked up her phone and dialed Shen Jingsi's number.
I didn't answer. I called twice in a row, but they didn't answer.
I opened WeChat, organized my thoughts, and sent the message: "Have you seen our baby? Where did you bury her? I want to visit her when I return to China."
Just as the message was sent, a gunshot rang out outside.
Lu Zhenyu straightened up, put down her phone, and rushed out.
Just as I reached the door, a large hand reached in and pushed me back.
Lu Zhenyu only saw Feng Jinzhou's profile and quickly asked, "What happened outside?"
"It's unclear which faction it is, but it looks like they're heading straight for the refugee camp."
From outside the tent, Feng Jinzhou said, "Just hide yourself well, I'll handle the rest."
