Chapter 13: Goofs



Li Xiaojuan, played by Yan Zi, is cooking in the kitchen, and Wang Yilong, played by Feng Xiaoyun, is helping.

"It's time to add salt. Pass the salt to me." Yan Zi was busy cooking in the pot while giving instructions to Feng Xiaoyun.

"Salt? This is it, right?" Feng Xiaoyun handed over a bottle.

Yan Zi rolled his eyes at him. "Your salt crystals are bigger than others, right? You're using sugar."

"Oh, oh!" Feng Xiaoyun touched his shaved head embarrassedly, and handed over another bottle.

"This is MSG. Isn't that salt over there? Isn't there a little word on the bottle? He's an airborne soldier. If you look at him like that, you'll just end up in a hole if you parachute out."

Yan Zi's fans Chen Keke and others were watching and whispering, "Yan Zi's eye rolls are so cute."

"Yeah, I used to think she was so cool, but I didn't expect our Yan Zi to be so sweet and salty. I love her."

Feng Xiaoyun gently hugged Yan Zi from behind and whispered in her ear: "Don't I have you?"

Through the thin clothes, Feng Xiaoyun didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that his hand on Yan Zi's waist trembled slightly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and take a bowl to eat." Yan Zi put salt on the vegetables in the pot and shoveled them out.

"Yes!" Feng Xiaoyun put his feet together, straightened his chest and abdomen, raised his head, saluted with a standard military salute, and then brought the dishes out.

At this time, the phone rang. Feng Xiaoyun put down the plate and answered the call.

"Yes! I am!" Feng Xiaoyun's expression suddenly became serious.

"Understood, got it! Okay, I'll pass it on."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Xiaoyun walked into the kitchen.

"Lieutenant Li Xiaojuan of the Medical Team of the Third Regiment of the Yunjing War Zone, receiving orders from regimental headquarters, please arrive at Ximen Square within thirty minutes to complete assembly."

"Yes!" Yan Zi's expression was startled at first, and then he subconsciously returned a military salute.

"The performance here is very good!" commented a judge.

"Indeed, she acted out every change of emotion. First, the surprise of seeing her husband address her formally, then the subconscious response. And look at her expression. If it was a soldier's instinct just now, now it's starting to shift to that of a woman worried about her husband."

"Yilong, what happened?"

"There's an earthquake. A major earthquake just hit the dam area. We are the nearest military command and we're going over there to start rescue efforts."

"You're going too, right?"

"..." A moment of silence. "Yes, my squadron and I will be the first airborne squadron to enter the disaster area and restore communications."

The two of them just held hands and looked at each other in silence.

"Well, do you still want to eat this meal?" Yan Zi finally spoke first.

"..." Feng Xiaoyun looked at his watch. "Eat! It only takes eight minutes to run from here to Ximen Square. We have five minutes to eat. After all... this is our first wedding anniversary."

"Okay, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks." Yan Zi rushed into the kitchen and took out the dishes and chopsticks.

Feng Xiaoyun took it and put the rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

"Why don't you eat?" Feng Xiaoyun asked with a mouth full of rice.

"You eat first. I'm not hungry yet. I just want to watch you eat." Yan Zi said.

Looking at the man who was wolfing down his food, Yan Zi said, "You eat yours, I'll say a few words, and you just listen."

"First, please be safe. I want you to come back safely!"

"Secondly, please be safe. Your parents want you to come back safely!"

"Third, please be safe. Our children want you to come back safely too!"

"..." Feng Xiaoyun held the rice in her mouth, and looked up at Yan Zi with her mouth half open, "Our... child..."

"Yeah!" Yan Zi nodded shyly. He had wanted to give you this surprise today.

"Then...then how about I tell the captain..."

"No!" Yan Zi's face straightened. "You have your mission, and I have my persistence. I will never persuade you to withdraw from those dangerous missions, because that is your duty as a Chinese soldier. Similarly, I am also a Chinese soldier."

Yan Zi's eyes softened as she finished speaking. "Besides, I'm only a little over a month pregnant, so it won't affect anything at all. This isn't the first time our medical team has participated in disaster relief efforts, and we always stay in relatively safe places. As for you, I told you to be safe, did you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it! So... how do you feel now?" Feng Xiaoyun wanted to reach out and touch Yan Zi's belly, but he seemed a little afraid.

Yan Zi pulled his hand over and placed it on his stomach in annoyance: "How can it feel? It's only been over a month, and my appetite hasn't been very good recently."

Feng Xiaoyun looked at his watch and said bitterly, "It's almost time, we have to leave."

"Well, let's go." Yan Zi took his and Feng Xiaoyun's military uniforms from the hanger. He put them on Feng Xiaoyun first, then carefully buttoned them up one by one.

Then she put on her clothes, and during the whole process, Feng Xiaoyun just looked at her, from head to toe, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his mind.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Wait." Feng Xiaoyun squatted down. "Your shoelaces are untied. Let me tie them for you."

After carefully tying her shoelaces, Feng Xiaoyun looked up and saw Yan Zi putting his hand just above his head, his eyes filled with shock.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you..."

Feng Xiaoyun didn't know what was wrong with Yan Zi, so he could only follow the script and say, "Let's go, it's time to gather."
