Chapter 397 Urgent Mission

Because he was too excited, Lu Jingzhen didn't sleep well at all. He woke up from time to time. When he woke up, he looked at his wife sleeping beside him, and the corners of his lips began to rise again.

At two o'clock in the morning, Xia Qingling was awakened by a shrill military call. The call was not like the usual wake-up call, exercise call, lights-out call... The sound was urgent and fierce, much louder than usual.

Lu Jingzhen, who had not fallen asleep, sat up from the bed the moment he heard the call and listened carefully to the rhythm of the call in the dark.

Xia Qingxiang also woke up and fumbled to turn on the light, but saw that Lu Jingchen had already gotten out of bed and was wearing a military uniform with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Xia Qingxiang asked in confusion.

At this time, the sound of the horn continued, so urgent that it made people panic.

"The troops are urgently assembled. Something must have happened." While speaking, Lu Jingchen had quickly put on his clothes and pants and was tying the belt around his waist.

Xia Qingxiang also became nervous when she heard it, and asked hurriedly:

"Are you going on a mission?"

"I don't know what the situation is." Lu Jingchen was already dressed neatly, took the military cap hanging beside him, and was about to put it on. He hesitated, walked to the bed, leaned over, and kissed her lips.

After a moment of tenderness, before Xia Qingxi could react, his lips had already left hers. (Take off the hat to kiss you, put on the hat to go to the battlefield)

Lu Jingzhen stood up straight, put on his military cap, straightened it with his hand, and said to Xia Qingxi in a deep voice:

"Eat well and take care of yourself. If I don't come back tomorrow, let Mo Ya and the others accompany you to the hospital. If you encounter any trouble, go to your uncle's house to find your aunt."

After giving instructions, Lu Jingzhen said "I'm leaving." After these three words, he didn't stay, nor did he wait for Xia Qingxi to respond. He opened the door and strode out.

Everything happened too quickly, and before Xia Qingxi could react, Lu Jingzhen had already disappeared in front of him.

Although the enemy spies have not been as active as before in the past two years, they have not given up completely and are always trying to sabotage our party.

In addition, the Sino-Yue border is not peaceful. Xia Qingling knows that such an emergency mission is very dangerous.

Thinking of this, she quickly got out of bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and chased after him.

After leaving the yard, she found that Lu Jingchen had walked a long way. She hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but shouted:

"Lu Jingchen."

In the dim light, the man turned around.

Xia Qingling said loudly: "Come back safely." The voice was urgent, like a warning and an "order."

The person standing far away did not promise or even speak a word. He just stood straight, raised his right hand with all his strength, raised it above his brow with his palm facing down, then quickly put it down, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

When he could no longer see anything, Xia Qingling slowly turned around and walked back barefoot, feeling nervous, excited, and terrified... a lot of emotions intertwined.

People who have lived in peace and stability in the world for too long are actually panicked and at a loss when faced with this sudden danger. х|

After returning to the room and lying down, Xia Qingling was no longer sleepy. At this moment, she realized in a concrete way that she also had another identity: "military wife".

When she first came here, she just wanted to live well, so she tried hard to hold on to Lu Jingzhen's thigh and always wanted to follow him to the army.

Now she deeply felt that while she enjoyed the comfort and honor brought to her by this man, she also had to endure endless worries and fears.

After Lu Jingzhen went out, he never came back. Xia Qingling slept in a daze until dawn in anxiety. After

she washed up, she did not go to the art troupe, but went to the troupe headquarters first, wanting to find Su Xiangnan to inquire about the situation.

When she got there, she found out that Su Xiangnan had also gone on an emergency mission.

Xia Qingling did not ask much, she knew that the army had its own rules, and many missions were confidential, so it was not appropriate for her to inquire.

The only thing she could do was to wait patiently for her husband to come home.

She did not go to the hospital for blood tests. With Lu Jingzhen not around, she did not seem to be so eager to know the results. She planned to go to the hospital on Sunday as planned.

Besides not having her period, her body did not have any other reactions. She was not sleepy, did not want to vomit, and did not feel tired. She guessed that it was not pregnancy, but more like a menstrual disorder caused by not adapting to the local climate. Today, the

troupe will conduct a preliminary audition for piano students. This will be in charge of Qin Lian, the head of the vocal group. Because the art troupe has only one piano and Xia Qingli is the only teacher, only three formal students and two substitute students will be selected this time.

The focus of the formal students' work in the art troupe in the future is to learn the piano, practice the piano, and finally perform on stage.

The substitute students can learn piano and have a few opportunities to perform on stage while learning their own professional expertise.

Originally, we thought that not many people would sign up for the competition. After all, it was a new course. To learn from scratch and give up one's original professional expertise, the cost was still too high.

But what no one expected was that dozens of people actually signed up for the competition.

Team leader Qin finally selected twelve students who were familiar with music theory and relatively talented. The next day, Xia Qingling selected five of the twelve people.

After work in the afternoon, Xia Qingxi saw Mo Ya talking to a boy of twelve or thirteen at the entrance of the art troupe. Not long after they talked, the boy took the money from Mo Ya and left. He looked back at Mo Ya several times when he left.

Xia Qingxi frowned unconsciously. Xia Qingxi knew this boy. He was Zhu Wanru's youngest son Mo Minsheng.

"Mo Ya." Xia Qingxi walked over and called her.

Mo Ya turned around and saw that it was Xia Qingxi, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Why did he come to you? To plead for the Mo family?" Xia Qingxi asked.

Yesterday, Zhu Wanru lost such an adult, and Captain Mu said that she would write a report and submit it. Based on her understanding of Zhu Wanru, she knew that she had a good relationship with Mo Ya, so it was normal for her to use her son to plead for mercy.

"No, no." Mo Ya waved her hands quickly and explained to Xia Qingxi with some sadness:

"Minsheng came to ask me if I would never live in the Mo family again in the future."

Xia Qingxi knew that Mo Minsheng was raised by Mo Ya, and she had different feelings for him than for other people in the Mo family. She was afraid that she would be emotional and fail to distinguish between friend and foe, so she continued to ask:

"Did he ask you for money just now?"

"Ah?" Mo Ya was obviously a little surprised, and hurriedly said:

"No, no, he didn't come to ask me for money, the money just now was his." After saying that, the expression on his face became a little sad and a little relieved, and continued:

"Minsheng is different from other people in the family. He really cares about me. Just now he came to ask me if I would never come back to the Mo family again. I told him that I would not go back. I could see that he was very sad, but he did not persuade me. He even took out his own pocket money and gave it to me, saying that he was worried that I would not eat well outside." After

hearing what Mo Ya said, Xia Qingying was very surprised. She didn't expect that bad bamboo could produce good bamboo shoots. This Mo Minsheng still has some conscience.

"Oh, I'm glad I didn't make things difficult for you." Xia Qingying nodded and said with relief.

"Qingxi, what's wrong? Are you unhappy about something?" Mo Ya noticed that Xia Qingxi was not in a very good mood and asked with concern.

"Actually, it's nothing. Lu Jingxi went out on a mission and I was a little worried about him." Xia Qingxi did not hide it from Mo Ya. She rarely guarded in front of her good friend.

"It's okay." Mo Ya hurriedly comforted her:

"It's common for the army to go on missions, and Captain Lu is so skilled. He will definitely protect himself. Don't worry."

"Yeah, I know." Xia Qingxi smiled casually, but she was unsure in her heart.

At this time, Mo Ya seemed to have thought of something and said to Xia Qingxi:

"Oh, Qingxi, I have something to tell you."
