Chapter 57 Sense of Security
"By the way, you said you'd be back with the team soon?"
Yuan Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"It was a notice from the team. Doctor Xie gave me a physical examination a few days ago and confirmed that my physical condition was normal. He told me to get ready and pack my things to return to the team."
Ruan Chuxia lowered her head thoughtfully.
Now Yuan Cheng is about to return to the team.
Does that mean Xiao Zhiyu is also going to prepare to carry out the mission?
Thinking of this, Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but feel worried.
She clenched her fingers tightly, feeling uneasy and inexplicably irritated.
In his previous life, Xiao Zhiyu was attacked and left while carrying out this mission.
Although this time she successfully saved Yuan Cheng's life and changed his fate.
But the situation on the border remains severe and complex, and anything can happen.
To be honest, Ruan Chuxia was not very sure whether Xiao Zhiyu could return safely from this expedition.
Qi Yunhua, who was standing by, noticed that Ruan Chuxia's mood had become heavy, and couldn't help asking: "Doctor Ruan, what's wrong with you?"
After a moment of silence, Ruan Chuxia replied in a low voice: "It's okay, I've already changed the medicine. I have things to do today, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, she gently put down the ointment, stood up and left with a serious expression.
On the way home, Ruan Chuxia was full of thoughts.
Unconsciously, she had gotten used to having Xiao Zhiyu by her side.
Although their marriage was initially arranged by their parents and did not have a deep emotional foundation.
But after spending some time together recently, Ruan Chuxia had already regarded him as her support.
Now facing the impending separation, Ruan Chuxia's heart is filled with reluctance and sadness.
Some emotions grow quietly without us noticing.
By the time you realize it, it's already deeply rooted in your heart.
Just at this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Xiao Xia."
Startled, Ruan Chuxia immediately looked back.
Xiao Zhiyu, wearing work clothes and standing straight, was standing not far away and looking at her.
That familiar figure made Ruan Chuxia feel an inexplicable sense of security.
Obviously Xiao Zhiyu didn't expect to meet Ruan Chuxia on the street.
When he was about to step forward, he saw Ruan Chuxia rushing over and throwing herself into his arms.
Her slender arms were wrapped tightly around his strong waist, and she buried her face in his chest.
This sudden action left Xiao Zhiyu stunned for a moment.
Xiao Zhiyu opened his eyes wide, feeling the warmth in his arms.
An expression of surprise appeared on his originally handsome and stern face.
But he instinctively hugged Ruan Chuxia's slender waist, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.
"Xiao Xia."
He smiled, hugged Ruan Chuxia, and gently lifted her up.
Then, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Xia, why are you so proactive today? Did something happen to make you sad?"
Ruan Chuxia leaned her head gently on Xiao Zhiyu's chest.
She took a deep breath and smelled the familiar pine scent on him.
The smell was like some kind of soothing agent, easing her tension a little.
Ruan Chuxia nestled in his arms, feeling particularly at ease.
But she didn't look up and whispered, "Nothing."
He sensed Ruan Chuxia's uneasiness.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhiyu slowly lowered his eyelashes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Then, he gently reached out his hand and gently rubbed Ruan Chuxia's hair.
"So do you want me to take you home?"
Faced with such concern, Ruan Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded sullenly.
"……Um."
After a long while, Ruan Chuxia finally came back to her senses from her initial trance.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the man beside her, her eyes full of gratitude.
Then, Xiao Zhiyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took her hand.
The two of them walked slowly on the road in the family compound.
Ruan Chuxia followed behind him.
Looking at the familiar person in front of me, an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged in my heart.
Her eyes suddenly became moist.
Because according to the time calculation, Xiao Zhiyu will be going on a mission again soon.
This time, he will face dangerous criminals.
However, in the past, the media often gave short shrift to such actions taking place in remote frontier areas.
Ruan Chuxia realized that those simple and cold words carried the lives of so many team members!
Ruan Chuxia opened her mouth and wanted to call Xiao Zhiyu, but found that her throat seemed to be stuck with something.
No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't speak.
She swallowed hard, trying to make a sound, but still couldn't.
"Xiao Zhiyu."
Ruan Chuxia's lips were trembling, but she finally called out his name with difficulty.
She really wanted to remind Xiao Zhiyu to be careful, but she couldn't find a better way to remind him no matter how hard she racked her brains.
She knew she had done all she could.
From saving Yuan Cheng's life to implicitly mentioning the danger of the mission to Xiao Zhiyu.
However, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.
As an ordinary person, she can neither predict the future nor personally go into battle.
Hearing the call, Xiao Zhiyu stopped and slowly looked back.
He was slightly startled, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
This smile was clean and warm, making him look much softer.
"Xiao Xia, what's wrong?"
Xiao Zhiyu asked gently, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
He knew that Ruan Chuxia would not look for him easily.
Ruan Chuxia subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand. After a moment of silence, she raised her head and said with a smile, "It's okay."
"I just wanted to call you."
Ruan Chuxia pretended to be casual and walked in front of Xiao Zhiyu, counting on her fingers and speaking.
"Do you want to eat anything? I'll make it for you."
She tried to keep her tone light.
"Red-braised pork? That's your favorite. I can go to the cafeteria and get some pork knuckle to stew and stir-fry some vegetables. I forgot what your favorite vegetarian dish is."
"Oh right, it's pickled mustard greens and bamboo shoots. We have to use freshly grown bamboo shoots from the mountains. It's still early, so let's go to the foot of the mountain and pick some."
As Ruan Chuxia spoke, she naively counted on her fingers.
She was walking quickly in front of Xiao Zhiyu, talking to herself.
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her originally plain words gradually became filled with an indescribable emotion.
My eyes couldn't help but become red, the tip of my nose began to feel sore, and tears seemed like they would burst out at any time.
It was not until the mission was about to begin that Ruan Chuxia suddenly discovered it.
It turns out that these little things that seem insignificant on a daily basis are so precious in their eyes!
Xiao Zhiyu listened quietly to Ruan Chuxia's endless chatter, his lips tightly pressed into a line, as if he understood why she behaved so abnormally.
