Chapter 55 Earthquake Support
Jiang Ning really didn't want to lose face tomorrow, so she obediently withdrew her hand, placed it on the man's chest, and closed her eyes to rest.
The person in my arms has no conscience; after teasing him, he fell asleep.
Shen Mo didn't fall asleep until the latter half of the night.
Half-asleep, Jiang Ning vaguely felt something swaying above her.
My mind cleared up before my body, and I couldn't help but blush. This man said he didn't want to do anything tonight, what was he doing?
"Lemon!"
A man's voice came from beside her ear, and Jiang Ning suddenly woke up. The ceiling was indeed shaking!
It really shakes.
As if realizing something, Jiang Ning was so startled that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She immediately said, "Shen Mo, it's an earthquake! Let's get out of here quickly!"
She had barely finished speaking when Shen Mo swept her up in his arms and carried her out of the room to the courtyard. Jiang Ning looked at the small room next door and said, "And Zhiqi is there too."
Shen Mo put Jiang Ning on the recliner, and then rushed to the small room to carry Zhi Qi out as well.
Huo Zhiqi, a tiny boy, lay in Shen Mo's arms, rubbing his eyes as if he was still half asleep. "Daddy, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ning reached out and touched his head. "It's okay, you can go back to sleep."
Looking at the somewhat swaying house, it was fortunate that it was just a single-story building. In the modern world, a multi-story building with an elevator would be shaking so badly that the view would be blurry.
The shaking lasted only a few minutes. Jiang Ning noticed that the shaking wasn't too strong and figured it was probably an aftershock from somewhere.
Aftershocks were heard, and it was unclear where the damage had occurred.
After confirming that nothing would happen, Jiang Ning returned to her room and snuggled into Shen Mo's arms to fall asleep again.
The next morning, Jiang Ning made an appointment with Sister Li. Sister Li readily agreed when she heard that her family was hosting a dinner party, and even invited her eldest daughter to help Jiang Ning with the cooking.
Just as the dishes were all prepared, Shen Mo suddenly returned home with Commander Li and informed him that a major earthquake had struck a town in a neighboring county, and the military region had received a mission to dispatch a regiment to provide rescue.
Shen Mo is the deputy regimental commander, and he is leading a rescue team.
The emergency rescue operation is underway for 72 hours, and there is no time to lose. Shen Mo is about to lead his team to set off immediately.
Jiang Ning was stunned when she heard the news.
She couldn't help but recall her past life when she went to the earthquake-stricken area with a medical team for rescue. Natural disasters bring despair; so many people lost their homes, were displaced, separated from their families, and were even separated by death.
Jiang Ning didn't want to recall the overwhelming despair she felt at that time. She tried to calm herself down from her indescribable emotions and quickly returned to her room to help Shen Mo pack some simple clothes.
When Shen Mo went inside to pack his clothes, he found that Jiang Ning had already packed them for him.
Commander Li gave him some time, and Shen Mo didn't know what to say. In the past, he never hesitated to do any mission he was assigned, but today he hesitated for a moment.
But this hesitation was quickly dispelled. The small family is a family, and the big family is also a family. Without the big family, where would the small family come from?
Jiang Ning noticed a fleeting hint of reluctance in his eyes, but she knew he had to go. If she had been hired by their camp's medical clinic, she should have gone with him.
As a doctor, she would not stand idly by and watch someone die. In the face of natural disasters, every bit of effort she could contribute meant that one more person could have a chance to live.
Jiang Ning reached out and straightened his collar, intending to tell him to take care of himself and not get hurt.
But in such a place, it is unknown whether there will be aftershocks. If something really happens, Shen Mo will not stand idly by and watch someone die.
She knew what kind of person he was, and the words that came out were, "Try to protect yourself, I'll be waiting for you at home."
Shen Mo really wanted to reach out and hug her, but he held back, afraid that if he hugged her, he would really not want to leave.
He picked up the bag Jiang Ning had prepared for him and turned to leave.
I had only taken two steps when my waist tightened.
A source of heat and a soft touch came from behind.
Jiang Ning wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and Shen Mo patted her hand.
Knowing that he really should leave, Jiang Ning let go of his hand to let him go, but the moment she let go, Shen Mo suddenly turned around and hugged her.
Jiang Ning buried her face in his chest and reached out to hug him back.
This time, Jiang Ning pushed him away first, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance.
Jiang Ning's eyes flickered slightly; she knew where this feeling came from.
Shen Mo looked at Jiang Ning, feeling sorry for her. The mission came too suddenly, and he didn't even have time to comfort her.
"Ningning, I'm going now. Wait for my return."
Shen Mo released his grip, took a step back from that soft, warm embrace, and turned to leave without looking back.
Jiang Ning followed his footsteps to the courtyard gate, until that firm and magnanimous figure walked further and further away.
Jiang Ning had never experienced this kind of separation before. After Shen Mo left, she stood at the courtyard gate for a long time.
Sister-in-law Li saw Jiang Ning still there twice when she came out of her yard. She couldn't help but go over and comfort her, "Soldiers are used to going on missions. It is because of them that we have peace and stability now."
Jiang Ning said, "I know my sister-in-law. I'm just a little worried about him, but I won't stop him. He's looking after his big family, so I'll look after our little family."
Hearing this, Sister Li smiled.
As a military wife, she deeply understands the hardships her husband has endured over twenty years on the battlefield.
She now understands Jiang Ning's feelings; she sees in Jiang Ning's eyes how much Jiang Ning cares about Shen Mo.
At first, she was a little shocked when she saw Jiang Ning's appearance. How could such a beautiful girl marry a soldier who was often on missions and rarely came home?
Not to mention the occasional gossip circulating in the compound, even she couldn't help but think that such a girl was indeed easily seduced by other men, and one with a weak mind might be easily seduced.
But how could Jiang Meizi's reluctance to part with Shen Mo be like those rumors in the compound, which were completely unfounded!
Jiang Ning gave most of the vegetables she bought to Sister Li's family, including quite a bit of meat.
Sister-in-law Li helped Jiang Ning with the shopping and knew that it cost a lot of money. When Jiang Ning insisted on giving her the vegetables, she accepted them, but insisted on giving Jiang Ning half of the money for the vegetables.
If Jiang Ning doesn't accept money, she won't accept vegetables.
Unable to resist Sister Li's insistence, Jiang Ning accepted the money.
Jiang Ning and Zhi Qi spent two relatively uneventful days at home, but things took a turn for the worse when she encountered Feng Chuan again on her way to the clinic two days later.
