The rainstorm was getting heavier and heavier. A gust of wind blew the raindrops sideways, falling on the legs of the two people and wetting their trouser legs.
Qin Zheng suppressed his excitement, held up his umbrella and moved closer to Yan Jingwan, saying, "It's windy. Let's go. I'll take you home."
"Um."
The camp was not big, and there were tents filled with people living around it. Qin Zheng suppressed the urge to hold her hand and tilted the umbrella towards her again.
Yan Jingwan looked up and moved closer to him: "Qin Zheng, you don't have to tilt the umbrella too hard towards me. I'll just be closer to you. This umbrella can cover both of us."
Qin Zheng curled his lips: "Okay."
Taking advantage of the umbrella held by the other party, the two walked back shoulder to shoulder, close together.
Qin Zheng walked Yan Jingwan back to her tent. When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "Go in. I'll take the umbrella with me and bring it to you tomorrow morning."
Yan Jingwan shook her head and said, "No need to send it. This umbrella was given to me by Jinniu Zhigang before dinner. It's the umbrella used by your group."
"Okay, then I won't send you back." Qin Zheng said, "It will continue to rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You just recovered and are still very weak. Stay in the tent for the next two days and don't go out. I'll bring you lunch."
"No need." Yan Jingwan refused: "You still have to be busy with disaster relief. It's okay if I can't help, but I can't hold you back. You can do your thing. You don't have to take care of me. I can take care of myself."
"Okay. But I'd better bring you the umbrella tomorrow morning, otherwise you'll have to get wet in the rain when you go out to get food."
Qin Zheng meant well, so Yan Jingwan didn't say no.
"good."
Qin Zheng reached out and held her hand, pinching her palm, and it was soft at the touch.
"After I get back home, I'll think about how to write the marriage report. Once things here are finished, I'll submit the application to my boss."
He was a little worried about the outcome, and added, "Think it over carefully. Once you submit your marriage report, you won't regret it."
Yan Jingwan: "I've thought clearly about marriage and I won't regret it. But life is too long and I can't guarantee the future."
Life is so long, who can guarantee that they can be with someone forever?
"It's okay. I will treat you well and try to make sure you never regret this decision today." Qin Zheng smiled at her.
Yan Jingwan also laughed: "Then you must remember what you said. If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will definitely not forgive you easily."
Qin Zheng nodded, "Don't worry." He urged her, "Come in, it's windy and rainy outside, your trouser legs will be soaked in a short time."
"Okay, you should go back early too."
Although the two didn't say it, they were actually reluctant to leave.
Yan Jingwan returned to the tent and Qin Zheng also turned and left.
There were many people living in the tent, and it was still very lively after dark. Groups of three or four gathered together to talk, and the chirping sounded like birds having a meeting.
The lantern was dim. Yan Jingwan spread out the quilt, took off her half-wet pants under the cover of the quilt, and changed into a clean pair.
Chen Rong came over to apologize to her again, but Yan Jingwan ignored her, turned over in bed, turned her back to her and closed her eyes.
The next morning, Yan Jingwan was awakened by the noise around her.
The downside to having too many people in one tent is that you can't sleep and wake up naturally. One person making a little noise isn't noticeable, but two or three... even if everyone moves quietly, the noise from so many people can be quite noisy.
Yan Jingwan was woken up and did not go back to sleep. She got up and brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth with water from the kettle, and then poured out a small amount of water to wash her hands and face.
She was very frugal with water because there was very little clean drinking water in the camp and each person had limited access to water, so there was no room for waste.
Although there is water everywhere outside, it cannot be drunk. The reason why their art troupe had an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever was because they drank unclean water.
People were coming in and out of the tent, and some had already returned from the canteen to get food.
Yan Jingwan waited for Qin Zheng to bring her an umbrella, afraid that she would miss him when she went out. Anyway, she had just woken up in the morning and was not very hungry, so it didn't matter if she ate a little later.
Chen Rong glanced at her and said nervously, "Jing Wan, I'm going to the cafeteria now. Do you need me to get you some food?"
Recognizing Chen Rong's voice, Yan Jingwan didn't even raise her head and coldly refused: "No need."
Chen Rong was pulled away by someone, and Yan Jingwan heard the person admonishing Chen Rong: "She doesn't even pay attention to you, why are you still trying to please her?"
Chen Rong's voice was very soft, with an apologetic tone: "I am sorry for her this time. I can understand why she is angry and doesn't want to pay attention to me."
"It's none of your business. It was a decision everyone voted on, but she's so petty that she even holds a grudge against Captain Zhou."
"Stop talking." Chen Rong advised: "She donated the medicine, but she didn't take any of it herself. She has every right to be angry."
The two of them walked out of the tent while talking. Yan Jingwan glanced at them calmly, with no emotion in her eyes.
She was already thinking about how to leave the art troupe and really didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to these little intrigues.
She doesn't hate dancing, but she doesn't love it that much either.
That's why she practiced dancing so hard, step by step to the position of the principal, just to overwhelm her half-sister.
Her stepmother had planned a smooth path in life for her 'sister'. She was jealous and wanted to snatch it away. This was her motivation for tirelessly climbing up. She used to enjoy it, but now she felt a little tired.
Perhaps it was the sense of security that Qin Zheng’s firm choice gave her, so the tension in her heart suddenly eased.
She didn't want to compete with others for something and walk a path that didn't belong to her. She needed to think carefully about what she liked and what she wanted to do.
For the rest of her life, she wanted to live completely for herself.
Yan Jingwan was absent-mindedly thinking about something and didn't notice when Qin Zheng came.
Until Qin Zheng walked up to her and called her name: "Jingwan."
He waved his palm in front of her eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Jingwan came back to her senses, shook her head, and said, "Nothing, just daydreaming."
Qin Zheng hung the umbrella on the head of her bed and handed her the lunch box in his hand: "I passed by the cafeteria on my way here and got you a meal. You don't have to go out again."
