Chapter 207 He Yanting, You Are Such a Fool
Because they were leaving the next day, Jiang Xu went to bed early that night.
But in fact, she didn't sleep very well because she didn't know what would happen, or even the worst case scenario.
He Yanting did not return to the bedroom until she fell asleep.
Jiang Xu thought he was busy with his work in China and didn't pay much attention to it.
The next morning, two officers from the government army came to her and said they were responsible for escorting her to get the vaccine. There was also a local woman who was responsible for taking care of Jiang Xu.
In order not to attract attention, they all took off their military uniforms and changed into ordinary clothes.
At this time, He Yanting came back from outside.
"I'll go with you."
Jiang Xu was surprised at first, then shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous."
He Yanting smiled and said, "If you're not afraid of danger, why should I be afraid?"
Jiang Xu still shook his head.
"Soft."
He Yanting's brows furrowed as he spoke word by word, "I want to go with you."
Jiang Xu pulled him aside, hesitated for a moment, and spoke her mind: "At least one of us must be safe, just as... for the sake of Tuanbao."
These words made He Yanting's chest rise and fall violently. He grabbed her arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I promise you, you and I will come back safely."
"He Yanting..."
Jiang Xu was about to say something, but he interrupted her, "It's decided, Ruanruan. I can do whatever you want, but I've already made up my mind about this matter."
Seeing that he was determined, Jiang Xu knew that he couldn't convince him.
"He Yanting, you are such a fool."
Her nose felt a little sore.
"Not as stupid as you."
He Yanting raised his hand and gently scratched her nose.
Because they wanted to travel light, He Yanting set off with them, bringing only some simple supplies and no helpers.
Qin Zifei came over to see her off, his face filled with worry. He looked at He Yanting and said, "Protect her well."
He Yanting said indifferently: "Do I need you to tell me?"
Afterwards, they set off on their journey.
Their destination is a city called Tubang, the most prosperous city south of Kalua, currently controlled by the rebels.
The accompanying officer said that it would take at least three days to drive there.
Along the way, they avoided the war zones and took detours through sparsely populated villages. The first day was relatively safe and they did not encounter any conflicts.
The two officers and He Yanting took turns driving without stopping for a whole day and night.
After dawn the next day, because everyone was too tired and considering that driving during the day was unsafe, they decided to rest for half a day.
They pitched their tent by a stream and had a simple meal.
The two officers and the woman accompanying them soon fell asleep.
Jiang Xu sat by the stream, staring at the rising sun in a daze. Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Take your gun and follow me."
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and followed He Yanting to a clearing in the woods.
"What?" she asked.
He Yanting stopped and looked back at her: "Can you use a gun?"
Jiang Xu shook his head: "No."
He curled his lips: "I'll teach you."
Jiang Xu took out the gun, and He Yanting walked to her, put his arms around her and held her hand.
Jiang Xu's back pressed against his solid chest, the two of them pressed tightly together, and her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
Suddenly, a thin warm breath fell behind my ears——
"Dr. Jiang, we're in class, please pay attention."
A magnetic voice, full of teasing and joking.
Jiang Xu said embarrassedly: "I'm concentrating."
He Yanting chuckled and raised the gun with her hand: "Here is the safety bolt. Pull it open like this, then put your index finger on the trigger and aim."
With a bang, the bullet penetrated the tree trunk accurately.
"Have you learned it?"
He Yanting asked.
Jiang Xu nodded: "I learned it."
He Yanting curled his lips: "Then try it yourself."
Jiang Xu imitated what he had done just now, aimed at the tree trunk and pulled the trigger.
However, the bullet missed.
He Yanting said patiently: "Don't be impatient, try again."
This time, Jiang Xu calmed himself down and aimed for a long time before firing. The bullet grazed the tree trunk and went flying.
He Yanting encouraged: "There is progress."
Jiang Xu gained confidence and fired another shot, this time finally hitting the tree trunk.
"Not bad, our Ruanruan is really smart."
He Yanting touched her head, his face full of pride.
Jiang Xu felt embarrassed by his praise, but also felt a little proud in her heart.
After resting until evening, they set out again.
Resting during the day and traveling at night, they arrived at the outskirts of Tubang late at night on the third day.
Then we found a place to set up tent and rest.
Jiang Xu was so happy at the thought of getting the strain that he was about to get it that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
He Yanting sat with her outside the tent, looking at the brilliant stars in the sky.
She smiled and said, "If Tuanbao were here and saw such beautiful stars, he would definitely make a wish."
He Yanting looked at her: "What wish do you think he will make?"
Jiang Xu pretended to be confused: "I'm not him, how would I know?"
He Yanting curled his lips and said, "Since he was little, Tuanbao's wishes have always been simple. Before, he had never seen his mother, and his wish was to see her. Later, when you came back, his wish was to be with you."
Jiang Xu hugged her knees with her hands, lowered her eyes and said, "I know I'm not a qualified mother."
He Yanting raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head: "No, you are a good mother that he should be proud of. What you are doing is amazing."
Jiang Xu's heart moved slightly, but she didn't look at him.
At this moment, a bright light flashed across the sky.
"It's a shooting star, make a wish!"
Perhaps influenced by Tuanbao, Jiang Xu quickly clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and made a wish.
He Yanting smiled and made a wish like her.
After making the wish, He Yanting said, "How about we play a game?"
Jiang Xu asked, "What game?"
He Yanting looked at the starry sky and said, "Let's guess what the other person has wished for. If we guess correctly, the other person will have to agree to a request."
Jiang Xu nodded: "Okay, you guess first."
He Yanting pondered for a moment, "Your wish is... to find a solution to the virus as soon as possible, to end this plague, and to return home to be with Tuanbao as soon as possible."
Jiang Xu opened his mouth in surprise.
He guessed it exactly right.
Jiang Xu felt a little regretful, because given the current situation, her wishes were too easy to guess.
"Then I'll guess yours."
She refused to give in. "Your wish is—"
She paused, her cheeks a little hot. "You also hope that this will end quickly so that you and I can go back quickly."
However, He Yanting shook his head: "No."
Jiang Xu frowned: "Then I'll keep guessing. You didn't say I can only guess once anyway."
Facing her trickery, He Yanting smiled indulgently: "Go ahead and guess."
Jiang Xu asked, "Is it related to Tuanbao?"
He Yanting shook his head.
Jiang Xu: "Is it related to me?"
He Yanting nodded.
Jiang Xu racked his brains to guess, not caring about his shame.
"You want me to marry you?"
"You want me to... kiss you?"
"You hope I can successfully develop a vaccine?"
…
After saying several things in a row, He Yanting just shook his head.
Jiang Xu was suspicious: "Are you kidding me on purpose?"
He Yanting shrugged: "No."
Jiang Xu snorted, "You're not sincere."
Under the starry sky, insects chirped from time to time in the grass, and the night wind blew away the heat, bringing a refreshing coolness.
He Yanting did not refute again. The night wind blew the hair on his forehead, and his eyebrows and eyes were as affectionate as when he was young.
He just looked at her, his smile full of tenderness and attachment.
