Lu Mo looked at Pipi, thinking he had misheard, but Pipi's expression was solemn as she said, "Qingqing is in grave danger right now, and her eyes are like this. Can you leave without worry?"
Pipi had wanted to discuss this matter with Lu Mo for a long time. Ye Qingqing had too few people she could rely on. She herself hadn't matured yet, and her younger brother was like that, unable to help at all.
Only Lu Mo is still usable.
But this guy was also determined to defend the country and bring glory. He had thought about letting Lu Mo stay before, but he couldn't find an opportunity.
With Ye Qingqing's eye injury and the appearance of the Hidden Branch, Pipi felt that the opportunity had arrived.
Actually, it's not unreasonable to ask someone to do something against their will. Lu Mo's connection with the military was already severed when he injured his leg.
That's how it was in his past life, so in this life, Ye Qingqing is essentially continuing their past relationship for him.
If the Hidden Branch hadn't come knocking so quickly, Pipi wouldn't have let Lu Mo stay, but now it's truly a matter of utmost urgency.
If Ye Qingqing were to encounter another accident, it would truly be helpless, left only to fade into ashes and be completely extinct.
Lu Mo was deeply conflicted. He understood that Pipi's words made sense, but...
Is there really no way to have the best of both worlds?
Lu Mo has already asked the regimental commander for leave. If he postpones his return for a few more months, Ye Qingqing's eyes will definitely be better by then, and he will be able to go back with peace of mind.
But now the appearance of Hidden Branch has disrupted his plans.
"Let me think about it some more."
Lu Mo felt there might be other ways. Perhaps he could take Ye Qingqing to the military base to study, so he could protect the girl closely.
"Okay!" Pipi didn't rush him.
Lu Mo composed himself before returning home. Ye Qingqing was talking to Ye Tong when she saw Lu Mo and sensed that something was on his mind.
"What's wrong? Did that guy say something to you? Just ignore him!" Ye Qingqing joked.
Lu Mo smiled slightly and patted her on the head. "It's nothing. I'll go get my practice questions. We'll have English tutoring today."
Ye Qingqing nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked with concern, "Your agreed-upon month with the regimental commander is almost up, right? It seems like it'll be in the next few days!"
"I'm late again, no rush!"
Ye Qingqing immediately became anxious, "How can you delay again? You've already delayed once. If you delay again and again, the boss will be unhappy. You should go back right away. I'm fine here!"
She had finally managed to heal Lu Mo's leg, and she couldn't let him suffer because of her!
Even if Lu Mo is a combat hero, his repeated delays in returning to his unit will definitely cause resentment among his superiors, and may even affect his career.
This is not what she wanted to see!
"Don't worry, it's really okay," Lu Mo comforted Ye Qingqing.
"How could nothing be wrong... I'll go stay with Grandma tomorrow."
Ye Qingqing made a decisive decision; she couldn't be so selfish.
Lu Mo's eyes were filled with tenderness. This girl always thought of him so much, how could he bear to part with her?
"We still need to get our eyes treated. I'll go back as soon as my eyes are healed, really!" Lu Mo assured him repeatedly.
Ye Qingqing was also conflicted. If she went outside to find the antidote, Lu Mo would definitely have to come with her, and she really couldn't travel far in her current state.
"Then let's set off quickly, so we can get better sooner and get back!"
Ye Qingqing chose a compromise, hoping to get her eyes treated as soon as possible.
“Okay, we’ll set off the day after tomorrow!” Lu Mo agreed.
He had already made up his mind that once Ye Qingqing's eyes were cured, he would take the girl to study in the south so that he could take care of her at any time.
But Lu Mo didn't know that plans can never keep up with changes.
