Time passed little by little, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Zheng Xinyi and Bai Cuiping could no longer bear it, so they decided to go to the army gate to inquire and see if there was any news.
Bai Cuiping held Xiao Chongyang in her arms, and walked hand in hand with Xinyi to the entrance of the military base. The guards at the entrance were also waiting. When they saw Zheng Xinyi and Bai Cuiping, they saluted respectfully, "Why are you two sisters-in-law here?"
"Hasn't the troops that went out to provide support this morning returned yet?" Zheng Xinyi asked.
"Yes, Captain Cheng and Squad Leader Wang haven't come back yet." The soldier responded in detail.
Zheng Xinyi and Bai Cuiping held each other's hands tightly and followed the guards to wait for the troops to return.
It was almost midnight, and Xiao Chongyang's eyelids began to droop, and he lay on Bai Cuiping's shoulder and began to make a fuss about sleeping.
Bai Cuiping frowned slightly and patted his small back with her gentle arm: "My dear son, hold on a little longer. Daddy hasn't come back yet. Let's wait here for him to come back."
The wind was quite cold at night, and Zheng Xinyi shivered subconsciously.
The soldier guarding the door couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to kindly advise, "Ladies, you should go back and rest! If anything happens with Captain Cheng and Squad Leader Wang, I'll let you know. It's so late now, and the night wind is so cold. It would be bad if you caught a cold."
Zheng Xinyi glanced at the still-sleeping Xiao Chongyang and nodded in response, "Alright, we'll go back and wait. If anything happens, please notify us immediately. Thank you for your hard work."
Bai Cuiping brought Xiao Chongyang to Zheng Xinyi's house again. Zheng Xinyi handed her a cup of hot water and said, "Warm yourself up first."
Little Chongyang was really sleepy. As soon as Bai Cuiping put him on the bed, the little guy fell into a sweet dream.
Bai Cuiping took the water cup, held it in her hand, and glanced at the exam clock on the wall. It was almost one in the middle of the night. A bad premonition exploded in Bai Cuiping's mind. She swallowed her saliva and said cautiously: "Xinyi, it's so late, why is there still no news? Do you think something has happened to them?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it won't happen." Zheng Xinyi interrupted her in time and responded calmly.
Bai Cuiping didn't dare to say anything more. Even though she was panicking inside, she had to pretend to be calm at this moment.
In fact, Zheng Xinyi was just pretending to be calm on the surface, but wasn't she panicking inside?
She reached out and touched her belly, looked out the window, and prayed silently in her heart: God, please don't let anything happen to Haoyu and Wang Ye. If something really happens to them on the battlefield, what will happen to us orphans and widows in the future?
"Xinyi, do you want to lie down for a while?" Bai Cuiping asked, fearing that her body could not bear it.
Zheng Xinyi smiled and shook her head. "No, Cuiping, do you remember the last time Wang Ye was on duty, you were about to give birth. At that time, Wang Ye was gone for three days and three nights, and there was almost no news from him."
"I remember, of course I remember. When I think about it now, the scene is still vivid in my mind. At that time, I really thought that something had happened to Wang Ye. If it weren't for Chongyang supporting me, I don't think I would have survived." Bai Cuiping recalled the scene at that time.
"Yes! Wang Ye was able to return safely at that time, and they will definitely return safely this time because they can't bear to leave us." Zheng Xinyi said with a smile.
