Zhao Lihan's eyes grew darker as he recalled his past experiences. He recalled the last time he entered the enemy's war zone to carry out a mission.
At that time, one of his comrades was seriously injured and in critical condition. However, they were in enemy-occupied territory, surrounded by harsh conditions, lacking necessary medical supplies and effective communication with the outside world. Despite their best efforts, they were ultimately unable to save their comrade's life.
Zhao Lihan's eyes turned slightly red and his voice became a little trembling: "If we had such a powerful satellite phone at that time, perhaps we could contact the rear in time and get the necessary support. In that case, my comrades might not have died..." His voice gradually became low, full of self-blame and grief.
At that moment, Zhao Lihan deeply realized what this phone meant to the soldiers. It wasn't just a communication tool; it was their hope and their lifeline. With it, they could stay connected to the outside world and receive help and support in even the most difficult moments.
Wang Xiaolan gently comforted Zhao Lihan: "Lihan, I will never let this happen again. Now that we have the space and this phone, the tragedy of the past will never happen again. You can send me a message at any time through this phone. No matter when and where, I will do my best to support you and help you."
After listening to Wang Xiaolan's words, Zhao Lihan was deeply moved. He held Wang Xiaolan's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Wife, thank you."
The two looked at each other silently, as if time had stopped. At this moment, the feelings between them became even deeper.
After a brief silence, their conversation gradually shifted to the upcoming war with Country Y. Zhao Lihan's tone revealed a hint of uncertainty: "War is cruel, and people will die in this war. If I can't come back, you and the children..."
Wang Xiaolan reached out her hand, gently covered his mouth, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Don't worry, with my space here, you and your comrades will survive safely. We will both wait until that day comes." Her voice was full of tenderness, as if giving the other person endless strength and hope.
When Zhao Lihan heard her words, it was like a warm current flowing through his heart, and he was deeply moved. He stared at her with wide eyes, as if he wanted to deeply imprint every expression of hers in his mind.
Wang Xiaolan checked her watch and urged, "Eat quickly! It's getting late, don't arouse other people's suspicion."
Zhao Lihan quickly ate all the remaining food on the plate.
After the two finished their meal, Wang Xiaolan stuffed beef jerky and chocolate into his bag and said, "Remember to eat when you are hungry. Don't starve yourself." Only then did she reluctantly let him leave.
…
Wang Xiaolan saw Zhao Lihan off and came to the laboratory to finish the last unfinished experiment. Then she walked out of the space. When she looked outside, the sun was already setting.
Wang Xiaolan was humming a little tune and pedaling her bicycle leisurely on her way home. While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, she suddenly noticed a familiar pair of figures across the street.
Hey, that woman is holding the man's arm intimately! When she looked closely, oh my god, that woman, isn't it Liu Tingting? Why is she with that man?
Wang Xiaolan couldn't believe it, thinking she'd mistakenly seen the wrong person. She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, then took a closer look. It was undoubtedly Liu Tingting. Why was she arm in arm with this man? And the two of them looked incredibly close, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the department store.
In today's era, even legal couples rarely show their affection in the streets without any scruples, and their indecent behavior has attracted many people's disgusted glances.
Wang Xiaolan was also shocked when she saw this scene. She opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly opened, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
Although she came from the 21st century, where cheating was not uncommon, in this conservative era, having an extramarital affair was not only difficult for everyone to accept, but it was indeed rare for a woman who had just been married for less than a week.
Wang Xiaolan was riding her bicycle across the road, intending to turn into the alley on the other side and take a shortcut back to the National Security Bureau's family compound.
Originally, she had no intention of intervening in this matter. However, when she saw that figure, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable urge in her heart. After all, it was a matter of Zhang Xiaolian's family's reputation! Besides, Xiaolian was her sister-in-law, and she was usually very kind to her and her children.
Now, Liu Tingting was showing her affection with a man on the street without telling Xiaolian's brother, which made her curious.
She told herself she couldn't just sit there and watch. Perhaps she should go and see for herself, to find out who this man was and how far their relationship had progressed. With these questions in mind, she decided to quietly follow him and find out...
Wang Xiaolan stood in a secluded place, watching their every move.
Liu Tingting and the man first walked into the department store, went to the clothing counter and bought some clothes, and then went to the food counter to buy snacks.
Hiding in the crowd, Wang Xiaolan followed Liu Tingting and the man closely, her gaze filled with confusion and curiosity. She saw they were carrying bags full of food and drinks, and even bought two bags of toilet paper. Their shopping bags were bulging.
She was completely baffled by their behavior. Could it be that they were starting a new life? That didn't make sense! Didn't Liu Tingting just get married? What was going on?
