Chapter 224 You have to come back alive!
It was already past five in the morning when Lin Siqiao woke up. When she found herself lying on the bed, she sighed.
It seems that my drinking habits are not as bad as my friends say.
Isn’t that good?
Lin Siqiao, who was hungover, had no idea what happened last night.
So much so that she was shocked when she went to the living room and saw a dark shadow lying on the sofa.
With the dim light of the snow outside the window, she could finally see the person coming.
Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Jianchuan stood up and turned on the light in the living room.
Lin Siqiao rubbed his aching temple and said, "When did you come? I was so scared just now. I thought there was a thief in the house."
"If you know you're afraid, then why do you dare to drink so much?"
"...A lot?"
Lin Siqiao remembered that he only drank three cups, which didn't seem right.
But looking at Lu Jianchuan's eyes, she felt that things were not that simple.
Lin Siqiao tilted his head to glance at the table and saw that last night's meal had been cleaned up neatly.
But the empty bottle of red wine was still there, which meant she drank a whole bottle yesterday?
Lin Siqiao felt inexplicably guilty, but she didn't think too much about it at the time.
She just felt that the security work of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was pretty good, and it was at home, so it didn't seem like it would be a big deal to drink a little.
The only thing Lin Siqiao didn't expect was that he actually drank the whole bottle.
Facing Lu Jianchuan's worried look, Lin Siqiao immediately said, "I will be careful in the future and try not to drink so much."
Seeing that she was so well-behaved, Lu Jianchuan didn't say anything else and just pulled her over.
"How's your head? Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, just a little dizzy."
Lin Siqiao found a comfortable position and leaned over, closed her eyes, and let Lu Jianchuan gently press on her.
"By the way, when did you come yesterday?"
"About eleven o'clock."
Lu Jianchuan no longer remembered the exact time. It was so late and he had no plans to come.
But once he entered the family compound, he had no control over his feet.
By the time Lu Jianchuan reacted, he had already reached the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing that the lights in the room were still on, Lu Jianchuan went up and knocked on the door since he was already there.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from inside.
Lu Jianchuan couldn't describe in words how chaotic last night was for him.
He only knew that when he saw Xiao Qiao lying motionless on the sofa, Lu Jianchuan was completely dumbfounded.
Fortunately, Xiao Qiao was just drunk and not poisoned by gas as he thought.
Lin Siqiao knew nothing about this, and she was just about to ask him why he came here so late.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a large bag of luggage at my feet.
To be precise, that was not ordinary luggage, but a marching bag that soldiers must carry when they go on a mission.
Recalling what those students said yesterday, Lin Siqiao raised his hand to stop him.
"Are you...going on a mission out of town?"
Lu Jianchuan paused, then nodded and said, "Yeah."
"How long will it take this time?"
"It's uncertain at the moment. It could be a long time, or it could be a short time."
The more concise Lu Jianchuan spoke, the more Lin Siqiao realized that this matter was not that simple.
After all, the Chinese New Year is just over twenty days away. If it is just an ordinary task, there is no need to schedule time at this critical juncture.
What's more, the field army is the most mobile combat force in a country, and it executes the command of the central government or even the highest commander.
Sending them out only means that the situation has reached a point where it can no longer be delayed.
"Have you decided when to leave?"
"Well, it's settled."
Lu Jianchuan looked at the time on his wrist with a hoarse voice, "We will leave at 7:30."
Lin Siqiao's eyelashes trembled slightly after hearing this. No wonder he came over so late last night.
In fact, from the moment they decided to be together, Lin Siqiao was already prepared.
Lu Jianchuan is a soldier, and defending the country is his duty and responsibility.
But she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
"Wait for me."
Lin Siqiao took a deep breath and returned to her room. As soon as she locked the door, she went into the space.
Things like Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, Essence-Growing and Hemostatic Powder, and Tongmai Yangxin Pill were all photographed.
There was also the hundred-year-old ginseng that Lu's mother brought back last time, and Lin Siqiao also cut more than ten slices.
After these are mixed together, they are all ground into powder, and the color looks no different from Cordyceps powder.
Lin Siqiao wrapped the medicine powder with oil paper and handed it to Lu Jianchuan.
"This is the ginseng Aunt Lu brought last time. I added some cordyceps powder and the hemostatic powder I bought at the pharmacy."
"Put it away and keep it for self-defense."
Lin Siqiao paused. She wanted to say, don’t do that amnesia thing, and don’t do that rotten peach blossom thing like the savior.
But when the words came to his lips, Lin Siqiao swallowed them back.
"I'll go heat up some food for you. You can leave after you're full."
"Xiao Qiao..."
Lu Jianchuan hugged her from behind, his strong arms kept tightening, as if he wanted to melt the person in his arms into his bones and blood.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice.
"Xiao Qiao, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Lin Siqiao's mind was extremely confused right now, but there was one thing she was very clear about.
Slowly, she turned around and spoke word by word.
"Lu Jianchuan, I support whatever you do, but you have to come back alive."
