"Yueya, I have to go on a mission. Time is tight, so I could only come to the hospital to tell you," Lu Zhengjun said, his eyes fixed on Su Yueya, wanting to take a few more glances before leaving.
At times like these, Su Yueya didn't know what to say.
She had so much to say, but when she opened her mouth, it all got stuck in her throat. She didn't know which sentence would best express her feelings at that moment, so she could only look at him.
In the end, all the words can be summed up in one sentence.
"Lu Zhengjun, you must come back safely," Su Yueya said.
Each time, all she could say was this one sentence.
"I promise you," Lu Zhengjun said, gripping Su Yueya's hand tightly and pulling her into his arms.
Ignoring the fact that they were in a hospital, Su Yueya hugged Lu Zhengjun tightly.
"You must come back safely..."
"I will."
Time was short, and this hug wasn't long enough.
Lu Zhengjun didn't want Su Yueya to worry too much, so she smiled and said to her, "Don't look so sad, give me a smile."
Su Yueya forced a smile, but unfortunately, the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Crescent Moon, I have to go." Lu Zhengjun rubbed her head.
Su Yueya couldn't speak, she could only nod with red and tearful eyes, and try her best to smile as she saw him off.
Lu Zhengjun gave Su Yueya one last deep look before turning and leaving.
As Su Yueya watched his retreating figure, for some reason, an ominous premonition arose and lingered in her heart.
This wasn't Lu Zhengjun's first mission; she had faced even more urgent situations than today.
But Su Yueya had never had such a premonition.
It's as if something unseen is slipping through my fingers, slowly slipping away from my control...
"Sis, I just heard the nurses saying that a really handsome soldier came to see you. Is he your husband?" Qiao Xinruo teased, but then noticed that Su Yueya's expression was a little off. "What's wrong?"
Isn't he my brother-in-law?
If Lu Zhengjun had come looking for her, Su Yueya should have returned with a beaming smile, so why did she look so mournful?
"Hmm." Su Yueya nodded, her eyes lifeless.
He really is my brother-in-law!
Why does the older sister have that expression?
"Did your brother-in-law bully you?" Qiao Xinruo asked quickly.
"No, he was on a mission and just came to tell me," Su Yueya said, still looking distracted.
Qiao Xinruo breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "Sister, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
For soldiers, going on missions is perfectly normal.
Especially since there are several military personnel in her family, such as Liu Yuying, Qiao Shouyan, and Qiao Gaoyang, who are often on missions, Qiao Xinruo has long been accustomed to the situation where her family members would suddenly leave for a period of time.
"It's just that your brother-in-law is on a mission, why are you acting like you've lost your soul? Tsk tsk tsk... It seems your brother-in-law has bewitched you, he's taken your soul with him as soon as he left!"
Normally, Su Yueya would definitely banter with Qiao Xinruo while laughing.
She was in no mood at all today, and her face was still clouded with worry.
"Xinruo, I always feel uneasy," Su Yueya said worriedly.
“Going on a mission is definitely risky, but who is your brother-in-law? He’s a top soldier. If he can’t handle it, who in the military region can? In my opinion, you’re just worried and making a mistake!”
Qiao Xinruo tried to comfort Su Yueya, but her words didn't register with Su Yueya at all.
Su Yueya understood everything, but this time was different from before.
She used to worry terribly, but today she was especially worried and had a bad feeling.
"Xinruo, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen—"
"Pah, pah, pah! The bad things don't work, but the good things do!" Qiao Xinruo quickly interrupted Su Yueya, telling her to spit it out. "Hurry up, spit out all the bad things you just said, then your brother-in-law will be fine!"
Although she found it absurd, Su Yueya still spat out a "pui" sound.
In fact, she understood everything Qiao Xinruo said.
"You're right, he'll be fine." Su Yueya quickly pulled herself together. It was still work time, and she couldn't act like this, completely lost.
"Xinruo, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going to wash my face with cold water."
The cold water did have some effect, but as time went by, Su Yueya still seemed somewhat absent-minded.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong at work, and everything went smoothly until the end of the workday.
"Sis, why don't you come back and stay with me tonight?" Qiao Xinruo invited.
That way, Su Yueya won't go back home alone, which would make her more prone to overthinking.
Su Yueya had done the same thing before when Lu Zhengjun went on a mission; she would move to her parents' house for a while until Lu Zhengjun came to pick her up after the mission.
But today, she refused without even thinking about it.
"Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll just go back to my room tonight," Su Yueya said.
Therefore, Qiao Xinruo did not force her.
Back home, Su Yueya simply cooked herself a bowl of noodles.
She had little appetite, ate a few bites haphazardly, and ended up throwing away most of the bowl of noodles.
"What a waste! I should have made less..."
Su Yueya had a premonition that she would be in this state of not being able to eat for the next few days.
But this is too abnormal.
In the past, when Lu Zhengjun went on missions, she would still do what she was supposed to do at home, balancing her studies and life, and taking good care of herself.
Because she knew that Lu Zhengjun would definitely want to see her healthy when he came back.
This is the first time I've ever been in such a distraught state.
"Forget it, I might as well wash up early and go lie down in bed."
Perhaps if I fall asleep, I won't have these wild thoughts.
However, this ominous premonition persisted, lingering in Su Yueya's mind at all times, to the point that even lying in bed in the dark, she could feel her heart beating unusually fast.
"How could this happen..." Su Yueya sat up in bed.
She touched the area of her left atrium, feeling a noticeably abnormal heartbeat. The excessively clear heartbeat made her wonder if she had tinnitus.
My heart is beating so fast...
In this state, it's impossible to fall asleep.
As a doctor, Su Yueya is required to stay awake during her work hours. If she doesn't sleep all night, it will definitely affect her work the next day.
"No, this can't be done." Su Yueya muttered to herself, put on her slippers, went downstairs, and entered the kitchen.
The water in the vat was all from the spiritual spring. She took a cup, scooped up a cup, and poured it into her mouth.
Maybe drinking a few more cups of the spiritual spring will make me feel better.
But the spring water was still water, and since it was before bed, she drank two large cups and then stopped, lying back down in bed.
But she still couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't control her thoughts and couldn't help but wonder what Lu Zhengjun was doing at that moment...
Was his mission successful?
Is there any danger?
Is he able to get some rest now?
When will you be back?
