Chapter 44 Lu Tingxiao Goes on an Emergency Mission
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhang and returning home, Jiang Ruoxi cleaned the baby pigeon, added spiritual spring water, yam, poria cocos, longan, and green onion segments and stewed them for 1.5 hours. This soup strengthens the spleen and stomach, soothes the mind, nourishes qi and blood, and replenishes vitality. It is especially suitable for people like Lu Tingxiao who expend too much energy.
Jiang Ruoxi stood by the stove, watching the fire carefully. Soon, a rich aroma filled the kitchen. Finally, the soup was ready and Jiang Ruoxi served it and placed it on the table.
At this time, Lu Tingxiao came back. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled an enticing fragrance. "What delicious food did you make today? It smells so good?" He washed his hands and walked towards the dining table with a smile.
"I make the yam, poria and pigeon soup especially for you. It strengthens the spleen and stomach, calms the mind and nerves, nourishes qi and blood, and replenishes vitality. Come and try it. How does it taste?" Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were full of anticipation.
Lu Tingxiao sat down, picked up the bowl and took a sip. In an instant, an unprecedented wonderful taste spread in his mouth, and he felt warm all over, as if all his fatigue had disappeared in an instant. "This soup is delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Jiang Ruoxi was secretly happy, after all, this was due to the contribution of the space Poria cocos and the spiritual spring water. "Then drink more. It's good for your health." Lu Tingxiao obediently took a few more sips, praising Jiang Ruoxi for her efforts as he drank. A warm and happy atmosphere filled the air between the two of them. The sunlight shone through the window onto them, like a beautiful painting.
After lunch, Lu Tingxiao took a nap and went to work. On a busy afternoon, he was concentrating on the work at hand when he suddenly received an urgent notice from his superiors that the mission was extremely difficult and they had to set out for the designated location at five o'clock tomorrow morning. As the team leader, he had a heavy responsibility. This mission is not only time-sensitive, but also comes with unpredictable dangers. Any slight mistake could result in a complete failure.
Lu Tingxiao looked solemn. He quickly called together his team members and deployed a detailed action plan. He knew very well that this was not only a test for his teammates, but also a challenge for himself. But he didn't know how to tell Jiang Ruoxi, because he had just finished his last mission less than three days ago and he was about to start a new mission, which was also very dangerous.
After dinner, warm yellow lights softly fell on the restaurant, creating a quiet and warm atmosphere. Lu Tingxiao's eyes followed Jiang Ruoxi's figure. She was concentrating on cleaning up the dishes, her movements gentle and skillful. Lu Tingxiao sat at the dining table, tapping the tabletop with his fingers unconsciously, his eyes full of hesitation. He opened his mouth, but quickly closed it. The words that were about to come out seemed to be held back by an invisible thread, blocking his throat.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage, slowly stood up, and walked towards Jiang Ruoxi. "Wife, I..." He called softly, with a little trepidation in his voice, "I... I have something to tell you." Jiang Ruoxi turned her head when she heard the voice, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth still had a gentle smile, "What's the matter, Tingxiao? You look like you have a lot on your mind!"
Lu Tingxiao took a deep breath and was about to speak when his throat suddenly became very dry. He licked his lips subconsciously. The words he had prepared seemed to be in disarray and he couldn't organize them at all.
"I have an urgent mission tomorrow!"
Jiang Ruoxi was stunned: "Didn't you just come back from a mission?"
"Yes, but this mission is very difficult. I...must lead the team myself!"
After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxi still had something she didn't understand: "Is the mission very dangerous?"
"Well, it's a bit dangerous, but I promise I will come back. We don't have any children yet, and I want to grow old with you!" Lu Tingxiao said firmly as he hugged Jiang Ruoxi into his arms.
"Hmph! If you don't come back, I will remarry!" Jiang Ruoxi said angrily.
"I won't let you remarry. You will only be mine in this life, the next life, and the next life, for all the rest of your lives!" Lu Tingxiao said firmly and domineeringly.
"Brother Xiao, I just want you to come back safely!" Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were red and her voice trembled slightly. When she said this, she could no longer suppress the worry and attachment in her heart.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss Lu Tingxiao's lips, as if she wanted to use this kiss to convey all her concerns and wishes to him.
Lu Tingxiao's heart trembled suddenly, and his hands subconsciously pinched Jiang Ruoxi's slender waist tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. He kissed her back domineeringly, with unquestionable possessiveness, as if this kiss could become the strongest bond between them.
During the kiss, he used a little force to hold Jiang Ruoxi steadily. Jiang Ruoxi wrapped her slender legs around his strong waist and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
At this moment, everything around them faded away quietly, and the whole world seemed to be left with only each other's rapid breathing and hot heartbeats. Lu Tingxiao walked steadily to the bedside and gently put Jiang Ruoxi down, but still did not let her go. Their lips remained intertwined, inseparable. After a long while, Lu Tingxiao slowly let go and rested his forehead against Jiang Ruoxi's. His eyes were full of affection and determination. "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely to you."
In the room, an ambiguous atmosphere spread in the silence. The lights were dim and soft, stretching their shadows. Jiang Ruoxi's cheeks were faintly flushed from the passionate kiss just now, her eyes were slightly blurred, and her eyes were full of tender love.
Lu Tingxiao's breathing was a little rapid. His big hand gently caressed Jiang Ruoxi's face, his thumb stroking her hot cheek, and then slowly moved down to stroke her beautiful neck.
Jiang Ruoxi bit her lower lip lightly, and took the initiative to unbutton the first button of Lu Tingxiao's shirt. Her fingertips accidentally touched his warm skin, causing Lu Tingxiao's heart to tremble.
He took advantage of the situation and embraced Jiang Ruoxi again, his lips covering her red lips again. This time the kiss was even more passionate than before, with endless desire. Jiang Ruoxi's hands wandered restlessly on Lu Tingxiao's back, feeling his tight muscles.
Lu Tingxiao's kiss followed the corner of Jiang Ruoxi's lips, all the way down to her neck, leaving a series of fine kiss marks. Jiang Ruoxi panted lightly, holding Lu Tingxiao's shirt tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly. Lu Tingxiao's hands skillfully reached into the hem of Jiang Ruoxi's clothes, gently stroking her delicate skin, causing Jiang Ruoxi to tremble slightly.
As their love grew, the two gradually immersed themselves in the whirlpool of love. Their clothes fell off one by one, and their world was filled with only each other's heartbeat and breathing, and the strong and indissoluble love. In this private space, they showed their love to each other without reservation.
Jiang Ruoxi woke up slowly, feeling the tenderness and caress of last night still lingering around her body. She subconsciously reached out to her side, but felt something cold. The familiar warmth and firm chest were no longer there. She slowly sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and her gaze fell on the note pressed under the water cup at the head of the bed.
She gently picked up the note, stroking the paper with her fingertips, and a familiar line of handwriting came into her eyes: "Xibaoer, I'm leaving. I will be careful. If I have a chance, I will report to you that I'm safe. Don't worry, you must eat well at home and don't be too tired!" The signature was: "Love your brother Xiao." Looking at the familiar handwriting, Jiang Ruoxi's eyes gradually became moist, and her heart was filled with reluctance and worry.
She clutched the note tightly, as if she could capture Lu Tingxiao's aura in this way. Recalling last night's lingering moments, those intimate words and burning eyes seemed to still be before her eyes. She knew that his journey was full of dangers, and every minute and every second was filled with unknowns. But she also knew that he had a mission, a responsibility he could not shirk because he was a soldier.
Jiang Ruoxi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She stood up and walked to the window, pulling open the curtains. The sunlight instantly poured into the room. She silently said in her heart, "Lu Tingxiao, you must return safely. I'll be waiting for you!"
Afterwards, she began to wash and change her clothes, deciding to live a good life as Lu Tingxiao had instructed and wait for his return.
