Gu Shen frowned and stepped out from the crowd: "Comrade, I am Gu Shen."
The receptionist glanced at him, then pointed to the phone over there.
"Someone just called looking for you. It was from Heilongjiang Province. They wanted you to call back."
"The call came shortly after you left this morning. The person on the other end sounded a bit anxious. You should call back and ask them what's wrong."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shen's face also showed great anxiety.
The receptionist didn't linger and turned to leave.
Knowing that Gu Shen had things to do next, the others didn't wait there but went back to their own rooms.
Xia Anyan also went back first, intending to pack up.
She guessed that Gu Shen might not be able to stay here any longer and would most likely have to return to the army.
As expected.
Gu Shen made the call very quickly, in fact, it only took two or three minutes.
But when he returned, he couldn't hide the emotion on his face.
"Honey, that was a call from the military. There's an emergency, and I have to go back immediately."
His face was full of guilt.
They had just gotten married, and he had already promised Xia Anyan that he would accompany her on a pleasant trip here.
The original purpose was to cultivate the relationship between the two of them, which is why they took such a long vacation.
Unexpectedly, an emergency occurred over there, and he now has to rush back.
Xia Anyan smiled and hugged him. "We're already husband and wife, and I already knew about your job before we got married, so how could I not understand?"
"You can go ahead without worry. I'll come find you after I've finished taking care of things with Grandpa here."
She also wanted to go back with Gu Shen, but she hadn't found a chance to take the things out yet, so she couldn't leave.
I was even thinking of ways to separate myself from everyone and get those medicinal herbs.
Now that Gu Shen wants to leave, this is the perfect reason.
Are you leaving now?
Xia Anyan inquired about his schedule.
Deep down, I felt a little reluctant to part with it.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Gu Shen had already become a habit for her.
Now that they have to part ways, she feels a deep sadness in her heart.
Gu Shen smiled and patted her head: "Wife, you can't bear to part with me?"
Seeing the reluctance in Xia Anyan's eyes, Gu Shen felt very happy.
He had been looking forward to the day when Xia Anyan would truly like him, and he had waited a long time for it.
He had always understood that Xia Anyan chose him out of necessity.
It was something we had no choice but to do.
But he couldn't control himself.
When you can't get something, you just wish you could be closer to it and get a response.
But once he gets it, he'll want more.
"I'll help you pack your luggage. Go tell Grandpa and Mom and Dad. By the way, are you driving back or taking the train?"
Xia Anyan asked questions while she was busy.
Gu Shen glanced at his watch and frowned. "I asked my comrade to buy me a ticket for the next train. It leaves in an hour."
Xia Anyan felt even more nervous, and her hands moved much faster.
"Hurry up and go, I'll be done collecting in a bit, I'll take you to the train station."
Gu Shen nodded and went to find Grandpa Xia, his father, and his mother.
They had actually made preparations when they learned that Gu Shen was leaving.
They knew that Gu Shen had his reasons for leaving, and there was nothing they could do but sigh.
"Shen, when you go back this time, you must be careful. Remember to send us messages whenever you can." Father Gu patted his shoulder, giving him instructions again and again.
As for Grandpa Xia, he wanted Xia Anyan to go back with him.
“You two have only just gotten married and haven’t known each other for very long. You’ll be parting ways soon, so let Ayan go back with you. That way, you two can look after each other and spend more time together.”
Gu Shen also really wanted Xia Anyan to be with him.
But considering that he would have to go out on missions as soon as he got back, he wouldn't have much time to stay with the troops.
He wasn't there, so Xia Anyan had to do a lot of things all by herself.
He didn't want Xia Anyan to be so tired.
"Grandpa, no need." Gu Shen shook his head. "I have to go back to carry out a mission. The house over there is definitely not settled yet. If I let Yan Yan come with me now, she won't be able to rest well and will just suffer."
"Didn't we already agree that once things are settled here, you would come back with us? So, just wait until things are done here, and then you and Yan Yan will go together."
"With you there with me, I feel at ease, and Yan Yan can also feel at ease."
This guy is quite the doting husband.
The old man sighed and nodded: "Alright, since you've already made up your mind, then hurry up and go."
Although they were parting ways, they weren't sure they wouldn't see each other again, and Gu Shen was in a hurry, so they didn't pull him aside to say goodbye one by one. They simply stood in front of the guesthouse to see him off before he left.
Xia Anyan drove the person to the train station.
They didn't even have time to exchange more than a few words before Gu Shen left.
As the person walked away, Xia Anyan's eyes reddened.
Even after everyone had disappeared from sight, Xia Anyan remained standing there, motionless.
She was beautiful, and her sad and aggrieved appearance instantly attracted the attention of many men.
People came over to chat, but Xia Anyan ignored them all.
She turned around and got back into the car.
The car still carried Gu Shen's scent.
It's refreshing, like mint.
It took her a long time to calm down before she finally recovered.
She drove and stopped in a deserted alley.
After looking around and finding no one, he slipped into the space.
Nothing changed in the space.
But the screen in the space remained stuck at 15% and didn't move.
"Huh? Wasn't it moving slowly before? Why did it stop?"
"Could it be stuck?"
Xia Anyan couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head and went to the small wooden house in the space.
Here, she bought a pot for decocting medicine, as well as some other things, intending to make her own pills.
Since the spiritual spring water couldn't be taken out, she could only make it within her spatial dimension.
Fortunately, the flow of time inside the space is different from that outside, otherwise this would not be possible.
Even so, by the time we finished and returned to the guesthouse, it was already dark.
Gu's mother and Lao Zhang were waiting at the entrance of the guesthouse.
The two breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her return.
"Where did you run off to all by yourself, kid? Your Uncle Zhang was looking for you just now, but couldn't find you. He thought something had happened to you."
Gu's mother couldn't help but scold him, but the worry in her eyes was no less.
Xia Anyan was a little embarrassed and took Gu's mother's hand: "Mom, I was running errands just now. Look, everything is here."
As he spoke, he patted the shoulder bag he was carrying, making a 'clinking' sound.
