Chapter 270 He is excited, she is happy
"You'll know when the time comes."
Qiao Lan didn't tell Ye Qi immediately.
Ye Qi didn't ask any further questions. It was good to leave it in suspense. This gave him more anticipation when he missed Qiao Lan next time.
He really missed Qiao Lan, very much.
He wanted to go back to the way things were before the war, to continue a serious relationship with her. Back then, they watched fireworks together at night, recited poems together, spent time together during battles, and even when they weren't fighting, even though they were busy and didn't see each other often, they knew they were thinking about each other. And they'd hugged, held hands, and kissed. He could still write her a few words of longing from time to time, and he could also give her gifts with all his heart. No matter what he did, he knew she wouldn't mind.
So many beautiful little details. It was such a great time.
But after the war, he didn't invite her to fight together because he had a deep connection with her. Instead, he pushed her away on his own initiative. In the end, he still needed her help to achieve victory...
With this barrier between them, things seemed... different between them. He no longer dared to recite poems or give her gifts casually, fearing it would be rude.
In particular, when Xiao Tang sacrificed himself, Qiao Lan was so heartbroken that he traveled to the capital to resurrect Xiao Tang, even though they were thousands of miles apart.
Ye Qi felt even more uncertain.
Xiao Tang was too important to Qiao Lan. Of course, he hoped that Xiao Tang could survive, but after Xiao Tang came back, would Qiao Lan be even further away from him?
If that was the case, Ye Qi felt that he had no choice but to let things take their course.
He had no right to ask Qiao Lan to favor him, he could only favor her unilaterally - in fact, these days, he continued to mentally prepare himself, silently forcing himself to accept that Qiao Lan would leave. This was of course difficult and painful, and in fact, there was no effect, he couldn't accept it.
He was anxious, terrified, and cautious. He felt that he might be an idiot when it came to relationships and really didn't know what to do.
But who would have thought that as soon as they met on video, Qiao Lan asked him if he missed her. She was smiling, just like before.
It's as if nothing happened in between.
And give him a gift.
Ye Qi's health and mana were instantly full, and the depression and entanglement hidden deep in his heart were swept away.
I can’t describe how excited I am, I’m just extremely excited!
Xiao Tang is already alive, and Qiao Lan has not distanced herself from him!
So after finishing the call and coming out from Staff Officer Li, Ye Qi held his head high and was full of energy.
Jiang Yue kept talking beside him about many things related to seedling cultivation, but he didn't hear a word of it, so Jiang Yue had to repeat it again and again. Only after the third time did Ye Qi become a little more normal, and started to talk to him and discuss things seriously.
On the other side, Qiao Lan came out of the communication room, humming a little tune happily.
Yin Wanying did not come with them and stayed in the laboratory to accompany Xiao Tang. Qiao Lan was accompanied by two senior guards, Chen Hua and Anhua.
Qiao Lan skipped and jumped for a few steps, then turned around and asked them, "Why don't you ask me why I'm so happy?"
The two guards quickly stood at attention: "Can I ask?"
The first rule when being a guard for a leader is to be quiet and just be a statue.
"Of course you can ask. We are all in the same group from now on. Don't you want to communicate with me?" Qiao Lan said.
"We are bodyguards..."
"I don't treat you as bodyguards, brothers. After you follow me, don't act like that. Relax a little. Being so serious all day is tiring for me even if you're not. Treat me as a partner and friend. You two are masters, and I respect you enough."
The two guards looked at each other, unable to adapt to this change of identity for a while.
Qiao Lan didn't expect them to change in a day or two. He smiled and urged, "Ask me, ask me quickly."
"Uh..." the two guards asked tentatively, "Why are you so happy after the call?"
"Hey, because I was talking to my boyfriend!"
"oh……"
"Oh what? Aren't you curious about who my boyfriend is?"
Not curious...they are indeed not curious.
But I still asked who it was out of courtesy.
Qiao Lan immediately said happily, "He's the person in charge of the official base in City C. He's a very powerful expert! He's also very handsome and very responsible. He used to be an investigator in the national security system. He's very powerful. He was the one who fell in love with me first. Hehe, am I powerful?"
"Awesome! Awesome!" The two guards stood in awe.
They had also heard about the situation in City C and the Eastern Front. So Miss Qiao's boyfriend was the soldier with outstanding military achievements, Ye Qi? That was truly remarkable.
"Really? That's awesome, right?" Qiao Lan didn't care whether the two were praising her or Ye Qi, she just regarded it as praising her.
She had been worried about Xiao Tang in the capital these days. Now that Xiao Tang had recovered and was in a very stable condition, she felt relieved and began to worry about the people in the small town.
She was thinking about every one of her companions, and she was also thinking about Ye Qi very much. She wondered if they were busy and tired over there, and if Ye Qi had had a good rest. His injuries from the battle hadn't fully healed yet, so she wondered if he could handle it.
Unexpectedly, today, I received a communication request from my superiors saying that someone in City C was contacting me.
As soon as Qiao Lan heard it, he guessed it was Ye Qi. He came out of the underground laboratory with two guards and went straight to the war zone coordination and liaison office.
In the video, Qiao Lan was in a very good mood as soon as Ye Qi showed up, and she felt even better when she heard him say that he missed her.
What was the estrangement during the war? Compared with Ye Qi's sacrifice in the fight to the death, and compared with his original intention of keeping her away from danger, that little unpleasantness was not worth mentioning at all.
Although the communication time was limited, the two people talked about a lot of serious matters, and there were only a few words between them to express their true feelings, but these few words were worth thousands of words.
Coming out of the communications room, Qiao Lan was so happy that she wanted to fly.
If only Yin Wanying were around, it would be much easier for girls to communicate. But unfortunately, there were only two guards around, and they didn't seem very understanding. She could only make do with them, guiding them to talk and sharing her happiness with them.
"By the way, brothers, do you want to date? When you get to Blackwater Town, I'll give you houses, crystal cores, and wages. I'll make all the necessary arrangements for your material needs, so you don't have to worry about anything. If you want to date, just find the right girl and talk to her. Let's work together to ensure everyone around us can live and work in peace and contentment in this town and lead a good life."
The two guards blushed slightly.
They had never been in love, and in this apocalyptic world, they didn't dare entertain such thoughts. However, they were very concerned and yearning for Qiao Lan's proposal to ensure the people of the town could live and work in peace and contentment.
These days, living and working in peace and contentment is an unattainable dream.
Is it really possible?
But seeing Qiao Lan's face glowing and her eyes determined, the two of them couldn't help but be infected. Her energy was really contagious.
Maybe, by following this young but somewhat magical girl, a miracle will really happen one day?
"Shall we take a walk down the street?"
After leaving the War Zone Coordination and Liaison Office, Qiao Lan saw that the weather was good, so he did not ask the car sent by the liaison office to take him there. He planned to take two guards for a walk around the capital and walk to Feng Feng to deliver the things.
Of course the guards listened to her.
Several people walked along the smooth and well-maintained road in the core block. Not long after, a pigeon fluttered and landed on Qiao Lan's shoulder.
