Chapter 74 Can't you just dream?
Shen Mo knew that Jiang Ning disliked his dirty appearance, so when he returned from the next village, he tidied himself up so that Jiang Ning wouldn't find him disgusting.
Just then, the girl suddenly threw herself into his arms. He was glad that he had tidied himself up and wasn't too dirty.
Jiang Ning threw herself into the man's arms, her slender arms encircling his waist, her fair cheek pressed against his heart, the strong and powerful heartbeat resonating in her ears.
I've never felt my heartbeat sound so beautiful before.
A heartbeat represents life, and the person holding her is vibrant and warm.
Shen Mo's pupils contracted, but the moment Jiang Ning lunged at him, he subconsciously raised his hand and hugged her, his palm gently embracing her back, the girl's small figure almost completely encircled by him.
The girl's words, "You protect our country, and I will protect you," still echoed in my ears.
Shen Mo lowered his head slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and a slightly hoarse voice came through.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Ning buried her head in his chest, "I just saved someone. He has the same military rank as you. I initially thought it was you."
As Shen Mo listened to her speak, his large hand suddenly clenched; he had startled his wife...
Shen Mo gently held her hands, slowly tightening his grip, pulling the girl tightly into his embrace.
"Not me."
He gently pushed the girl away, as if to prove himself—
"Look, I'm standing right in front of you, perfectly fine."
Jiang Ning raised her face and blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes.
Shen Mo couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her face. Seeing her pale complexion, he frowned slightly.
He apologized again, saying, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Standing not far away, Yan Liyue felt extremely annoyed by the couple embracing in front of her, gritted her teeth, turned around, and ran away.
Jiang Ning shook her head and nestled her face against his chest again. "No need to apologize. I'm a little tired. Let me lean on you for a while longer."
Shen Mo stood at attention, allowing the girl to lean comfortably against him.
The two were talking in the open space outside the shed, and people walking around them would occasionally glance at them.
Shen Mo was worried that Jiang Ning would be shy later, so he thought of taking her to a less crowded place, but the hand on her waist suddenly slipped down.
Shen Mo was startled. He quickly looked down at the girl in his arms and saw that Jiang Ning had her eyes closed.
"Wife? Ningning?"
He called out softly twice, but the person in his arms didn't move at all.
"Don't wake her up, she must be exhausted. Let her get some sleep."
Shen Mo wanted to call her again, but then he heard a voice. Dr. Jin, who came out of the treatment tent, had come specifically to find Jiang Ning. As soon as he came out, he saw that amazing girl being held in a man's arms.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him call for his wife. When he first came out and saw him, he thought he was some lecherous man.
"Are you exhausted?" Shen Mo looked at Dr. Jin.
Dr. Jin pointed to the treatment shed, "She stayed inside with us treating that officer for eight hours. Her body must have reached its limit."
Shen Mo nodded, bent down, scooped up the girl's legs, and lifted her into his arms. If Jiang Ning were still awake, she would definitely have complained—
This man has finally learned how to carry someone in a princess carry.
As Dr. Jin watched the girl being carried away by the man, he suddenly felt a pang of regret. How could this girl have married such a rough man? Could he even take care of someone?
Hey, if this girl weren't married, she'd be a perfect match for his son, hehe.
Another doctor, Dr. Qin, also came out. Seeing Dr. Jin looking into the distance, he went over and looked with him.
"What are you looking at?"
Dr. Jin said, "It's a pity that she didn't marry into my family as my 'daughter-in-law'."
Dr. Qin asked in confusion, "She hasn't even married into your family yet, so how did she become your daughter-in-law?"
"Can't I even dream?" Dr. Jin glared at the old thief who had shattered his dream.
Dr. Qin stood there for a while, then suddenly realized something, "You're not talking about the girl who had surgery with us, are you?"
Dr. Jin rolled her eyes at him. "Who else did you think I was talking about?"
"What?" Dr. Qin unconsciously raised his voice. "That girl got married?! I was hoping she would become my daughter-in-law."
Dr. Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes again. "I haven't even had my turn yet, how could it be yours?"
Dr. Qin said to himself, "I don't know if that girl will get divorced in the future. If she does, I'll do whatever it takes to bring her to my house."
Dr. Jin said, "Old Qin, if that day ever comes, we'll compete fairly."
As Shen Mo walked away, he forcefully suppressed the sneeze that was about to come out, not wanting to wake his wife.
After the joke was over, the two doctors began to review the surgery that day.
For over eight hours, the young woman, barely in her early twenties, endured it all. She specializes in traditional Chinese medicine, while the two of them performed the surgery.
Those who weren't there to witness the surgery might not have known, but those who were with her during the operation knew how dangerous every step she took was.
If there is even one wrong step, it will be difficult to revive the person, let alone revive them.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a tradition passed down from our ancestors, but very few people are truly proficient in it. I never imagined that the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine could be so powerful.
However, they still felt that traditional Chinese medicine was more powerful. During the most dangerous moments of the surgery, it was Jiang Ning's extremely exquisite acupuncture techniques that allowed them to have no worries.
After all, at that moment, they were truly at a loss.
What impressed them even more was the girl's calm and composed demeanor. They had all taught students her age before, and they would panic at the slightest thing.

Jiang Ning was awakened by the sound of footsteps. She woke up on a bed in the rescue tent. There were far fewer people in the rescue tent now, as most of them had already been sent away.
She got up to reach for the water glass next to her. Shen Mo had just pushed open the curtain and walked in. Seeing that she was awake, he quickly went over, wrung out the towel in the basin, and handed it to her. "You're up? Are you still tired?"
Jiang Ning took the towel he handed her, smiled, and shook her head. "I'm not tired anymore. I had a good night's sleep."
After Jiang Ning finished wiping her face, she handed him the towel, which Shen Mo took and put into the basin.
Jiang Ning really wanted to lean on him, but there were other people around, so she felt a little embarrassed.
For some reason, she suddenly seemed to like sticking close to Shen Mo.
The kind that sticks for a long time.
Is this the change in mindset when dating?
The thought of their infrequent meetings made her really want to stick close to Shen Mo.
"Are you hungry? Shall I get you some rice?"
Jiang Ning pulled him aside, patted the edge of her bed, and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry yet, come and sit for a while."
After saying that, she remembered that Shen Mo still had a rescue mission, "If you have other things to do, go do them first, don't worry about me."
"It's alright, the rescue is over." Shen Mo sat down by the bed.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Ning casually grabbed his arm.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and she was clearly delighted. "Really?"
Once the rescue is over, she and Shen Mo can go home together. This disaster will finally be over, and no more people will be harmed.
"Yes, the advance team has almost finished their rescue efforts. We will send more people over to handle the subsequent reconstruction."
Jiang Ning asked, "Shall we go back now?"
Shen Mo nodded. "Brigade Commander Liang said we'll get ready to return to the unit this afternoon."
