Chapter 106 Preparing Supplies for Qi Jingchuan
"All the soldiers set off in two teams. I was in the second batch leading the team to the countryside. I was thinking of leaving you a note before I left," Qi Jingchuan replied.
Cen Yan thought that since the rural areas would be visited in batches, Qi Jingchuan would not leave until tomorrow. She never expected that he would leave overnight, which must be quite tiring.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something ready."
After finishing her sentence, Cen Yan went into the kitchen and locked the door.
Qi Jingchuan frowned. Why wasn't this woman wearing shoes?
It's about to pour rain; the ground is cold.
Soon, Cen Yan came out of the kitchen, carrying a sack filled with supplies for Qi Jingchuan.
“I don’t know how many days you’ll be gone for flood relief this time, so I’ve prepared some instant food for you.”
"Twenty autumn pears, thirty cans of luncheon meat, twenty packets of instant noodles, and twenty pounds of White Rabbit milk candy. Especially these White Rabbit milk candies, you must keep them safe!"
"If there's no time to eat during a rescue operation, take a moment to peel a piece of candy and put it in your mouth to prevent fainting due to low blood sugar."
“I’ve prepared a lot of candy. Take some and give it to your men. Let them keep some in their pockets for future use. Qi Jingchuan, I hope you can come back safely.”
Qi Jingchuan left in such a hurry that Cen Yan had no idea what he could take with him from her space, so she could only prepare some instant food for him to have with him to tide him over.
"And this raincoat is made of rubber, which I brought from Shanghai. It's waterproof, so you won't get sick from the rain."
Seeing Cen Yan busily asking him to bring things, Qi Jingchuan felt waves of self-reproach and guilt.
It was his fault for being useless. Cen Yan, a pampered young lady from a capitalist family, suffered a lot because of him.
If Cen Yan hadn't married him, she wouldn't have to live in constant fear like she does now.
What he didn't say was that the meteorological department predicted this torrential thunderstorm to be the largest in history, and that casualties during the rescue efforts were inevitable, meaning he might not make it back.
The thought of dying on a mission and Cen Yan becoming a widow less than a month after her marriage filled Qi Jingchuan with intense pain, as if a giant hand were tightly gripping his heart, causing him great agony.
"Wife, I'm sorry." Qi Jingchuan pulled the busy Cen Yan into his arms, hugged her tightly, and inhaled her fragrance deeply.
Cen Yan was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands. "You, why are you suddenly getting sentimental? As a soldier of the country, it is your duty and obligation to carry out disaster relief and rescue and serve the people. The country and the people should be your top priority. I don't blame you."
Has Qi Jingchuan gone mad?
He was usually cold and indifferent to her, and she was mentally prepared to treat him with the same respect for the rest of her life. But then he suddenly hugged her and apologized to her.
Alright, no matter what, Qi Jingchuan is about to go on a mission, so let's not distract him.
Cen Yan decided to take pity on Qi Jingchuan and comforted him, hugging his back and patting him gently.
"Really, Qi Jingchuan, I don't regret marrying you at all, but you have to be well and come back safely. If you dare to be careless and get yourself killed on the mission, then I will really blame you."
"Alright, you're not a baby who needs to be pampered. Aren't you in a hurry to go to the countryside to prepare? Everything is ready for you, go ahead."
Cen Yan smiled. As long as Qi Jingchuan was still alive, it wouldn't matter if he didn't come back for a year or two.
Qi Jingchuan's heart ached even more; he knew his wife was forcing a smile.
"I will definitely return safely, wait for me."
Qi Jingchuan carried his luggage to the door, as if he had thought of something.
He turned around, straightened his upper body, and quickly raised his right hand to give Cen Yan a strong and powerful salute.
Then they rushed into the night.
