When Baru's video call came in, Nanxi had not yet fully recovered from her strong emotions. The man saw at a glance that she was unhappy, and his black eyes narrowed.
"Baby, what happened? Why are you unhappy?"
Nanxi pursed her lips and said, "Hubby, I have a classmate named Liang Lu. I wonder if you remember her?"
The man's Adam's apple moved. "No, except you, other women are the same in my eyes." The big man was straightforward and didn't understand why his wife suddenly brought up an unrelated person. But at the moment, it seemed that this was the root of Nan Xiaoxi's unhappiness. He said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
"She was a very good friend of mine. We often attended classes together when we were in school. I just heard that she was having a very bad time. She found an unreliable man who beat her and even aborted their child. Later, they both disappeared in Thailand. A mutual friend of ours asked someone to find out and said that she was most likely taken to northern Myanmar."
Hearing this, Baru snatched the cigarette from his mouth with his big hand and said, "That person is probably gone. Honey, don't be sad. It's fate."
"How can you be so sure? What if he is still alive?" Nanxi felt a little uncomfortable, her beautiful eyes were misty, and she looked at him pitifully.
The man brushed his short hair and said casually, "Even if they're not dead, they're useless, honey. Those fighting in northern Myanmar are all locals, but those doing other things are mostly foreigners. When Chinese people come here, they don't have much contact with the locals. They all have their own territories, which are full of chaos and all kinds of things.
You're pregnant, I don't want you to be exposed to these bad things, be obedient, stay at home, don't think about those messy things, and don't contact some irrelevant people for no reason, be good."
Nanxi lowered her head and touched her already visibly pregnant belly, her voice soft and gentle, with a hint of reluctance, "But A-Lu, Lulu is not an insignificant person, she is my classmate. Back in Yuncheng, when you were in jail, I almost couldn't hold on during that time, and it was Lulu who accompanied me through it.
In addition to being busy with the gallery's affairs, she also has to take care of me. She even took risks to help me when Shen Ce forced me to get married. I don't have many friends, and Lulu is one of them."
The man opposite listened to her quietly and sighed, "Alright, alright, send the information over. I'll have someone look for it. They may not find it, but if they do, I'll get the person out. Okay? Little ancestor, you always know how to manipulate me."
The woman who was sniffing raised her eyes and glanced at him. "No, that's because you love me."
"That's good to know. You're always soft-hearted, soft-hearted to everyone, but you're so hard-hearted towards me. How dare you even mention that maggot? Huh? Nan Xiaoxi, you actually still remember him."
"I don't have amnesia." Nanxi laughed, "Vinegar Dragon, you eat anything vinegar."
"Why don't you reflect on yourself? Huh? You little troublemaker? Sooner or later, my life will be ruined by you." The man finished the rest of his cigarette in one puff, threw the butt on the ground, crushed it with his military boots, and then spoke.
"Baby, you're not a Bodhisattva. Sometimes, you can't just be kind. Remember that?"
"Yeah, I know, husband, Lulu is my classmate, I know her inside and out. If it were someone else, I would definitely not cause trouble for you at this time.
I always feel that everyone has hard times. We may not have the ability to help, but if we have the connections, we should lend a hand. Saving a life is also a blessing for the child, right?
"I see, my heavenly Bodhisattva." Baru shook his head and smiled. "How are you today? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine and the baby is fine too." Nanxi pursed her lips and smiled.
She was a little fatter than before she was pregnant, probably because she had been taking supplements and didn't deliberately control her food intake. Her energy and blood were much more sufficient than before. Her fair face had a hint of pink, like a pink pearl with a fine luster. When she smiled, her long eyelashes fluttered along with her half-curved crescent eyes. There was a softness and tranquility in her eyes, which was another kind of beauty.
The man looked at her face, his Adam's apple moved, and the violent and rough emotions that had been in his mind all day were instantly relieved, as if at this moment, guns, wars, blood, and killing were all excluded from his world by his wife's gentle smile. At this moment, he briefly walked from a ferocious beast with blood on its face into a paradise with birds singing, flowers blooming, and bright sky, and found a moment of peace.
"Wife, I miss you." Baru lowered his head and licked his lips, suppressing his surging emotions. Then he raised his head, pulled his lips, looked at her and said lightly.
"I miss you too, husband. I miss you as much as I want." Nanxi is no longer the naive girl who avoids his feelings. She knows that her husband needs an equally passionate and direct response. He needs to hear her love for him clearly before he can feel at ease.
"Wife, don't be so good, you're killing me," the man lowered his head and smiled with satisfaction, from restraining his smile until he couldn't restrain it anymore, cursed, and then laughed foolishly, looking at the beautiful face on the screen that made him fall again and again, pursed his lips,
"Baby, how come I'm so lucky to have such a good wife? Huh?"
"Dailong." Nanxi was amused by him and also laughed at the opposite side. The two of them chatted here and there. When she didn't want to talk, Nanxi just lay beside the bathtub, and Balu smoked over there, looking at her in a daze. Even if they didn't say anything, they were accompanied by each other across thousands of miles, and their hearts were full.
Bang——
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the cell phone. The woman lying on the edge of the bathtub was startled and her beautiful eyes opened wide. She immediately looked at the cell phone screen.
It was pitch black over there, I couldn't see anything, I could only hear rustling sounds.
"Baby, you go to sleep first. There's a fight here. I'm going into the woods." After saying that, Balu put his phone in his pocket.
There was a chaotic noise, accompanied by the sound of a man running, his voice calling out to his men, and the sound of gunfire, one after another...
Nanxi held the phone nervously. Even though she couldn't see any images inside, she still didn't want to hang up. At least, she could hear the movement inside and know that he was safe.
Her heart was pounding and tears kept dripping down the back of her hand. Her husband was fighting in the hail of bullets, and she could do nothing but worry and cry.
The phone rang for a few minutes and then hung up. There must be no signal. Nanxi's lips and fingers were trembling. She took out her bathrobe and put it on, hurried out of the bathroom, and called Sun Cheng.
"Xixi, what's wrong?" Sun Cheng seemed to be still in a bar or something like that, and the background music almost covered up his voice.
"Sun Cheng, find a quiet place. I have something to tell you."
Even from the sound, one could tell she was very emotional. Sun Cheng's face changed and he pushed the woman away.
"Give me a minute, I'll be right there."
