Chapter 38
Once the command center gets busy, there are no holidays.
Half a month had passed since Yun Lin'ai's last visit to Shi Yu's dorm. Various issues had prevented him from meeting her. The operational zone was gradually shrinking, and the work in the Northwest War Zone seemed to be nearing its end.
However, once the rainy season arrives, there will still be a continuous influx of wounded people sent to refugee camps, and a large number of seriously injured patients on the front lines cannot be sent to safe areas in time.
There was no other way, the old general could only urgently dispatch a group of doctors to the combat zone.
He still asked Pei Rang to do the docking. When he arrived, he saw the Omega who was held in Yun Lin'ai's arms last time.
"I was wondering why you looked so familiar that day. It turns out to be you." Pei Rang changed his serious attitude and was no longer as wary as before when facing Shi Yu.
Shi Yu, however, seemed to still hold a grudge and moved a little further away from him, saying politely, "Hello."
Pei Rang was still thinking about the old general's mission, but he felt that Shi Yu in front of him was the most suitable candidate.
So he stepped forward and whispered, "Do you want to go to the front?"
Shi Yu was stunned. "Can I go?"
"The general sent me a mission. There are too many wounded on the front line and they are short of doctors. He asked me to come and find a reliable one."
Pei Rang crossed his arms and said, "No matter how reliable I think they are, they are not as reliable as the captain's family, right?"
Shi Yu's expression froze for a moment, then recovered.
"I can go, but where do I live?"
Pei Rang just laughed strangely, with the ending tone rising.
"Command Center."
So when Yun Lin'ai was forced by the old general to come out to greet all the doctors on the front line, he saw Shi Yu getting out of Pei Rang's co-pilot seat, and his face turned dark.
The other party seemed to have not received his message yet, and kept raising his eyebrows, ready to take credit.
Unexpectedly, Yun Lin'ai not only ignored him, but after the crowd dispersed, he walked up and pulled Shi Yu away and walked towards his dormitory.
The dormitory conditions of the temporary command center were very limited, with almost two to four people in a room. Even the team leaders did not have the opportunity to live in a single room.
While Lu Yichuan was away, Yun Linai temporarily pulled him into their room, closed the door, and leaned against the wall. But after only half a month, she couldn't help herself and lowered her head to kiss Shi Yu.
Shi Yu was forced to tiptoe and raise his head to receive Yun Lin'ai's deep and delicate kiss.
He smelled the apple-flavored shampoo again, along with a hint of cedar pheromones, and Shi Yu was completely captivated.
Even after Yun Lin Ai let him go, his breathing became unstable, yet he still tried to persuade Yun Lin Ai not to be angry with him, "Do you smell it? My shampoo also smells like apple."
Shi Yu was now adept at changing the subject, and Yun Lin'ai didn't bother to expose him. "I didn't smell it. What brand of shampoo is it?"
Alpha looked lazy, more relaxed than ever in the past six years. He ran his fingers through Shi Yu's soft hair, enjoying the long-lost chat.
After hearing Shi Yu mention a shampoo brand he was familiar with, Yun Linai couldn't help but smile, "I bought it specifically for the same brand as mine. How long have you been using it?"
"Six years." Shi Yu said honestly.
"It's been pickled with apples."
He lowered his head and stood on tiptoe, rubbing his entire hair in front of Yun Lin'ai, making her feel itchy.
"Doctor Shi is rich enough to support me." Yun Lin'ai lowered his head and kissed the other's lips again.
Shi Yu stepped back and didn't let him continue, "I don't have any money. I still owe others money."
Yun Linai continued to kiss her until his slightly rough fingertips rubbed under the other person's clothes and then reached her lower abdomen.
Shi Yu has always been sensitive there. He trembled and wanted to push Yun Lin'ai away, but he paused and let him touch it.
"I believe in Dr. Shi's ability."
Yun Linai picked the person up and returned to his room.
"Then can you stop being angry?" Shi Yu asked him cautiously, afraid of the man in front of him, and his hands uncontrollably wanted to hug him tightly.
Later, he was worried about Alpha sending him back, so he stubbornly spoke before Yun Linai, "I'm a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch someone die, just like what you're doing now."
"Really? But I'm not going to do it anymore."
Shi Yu knew very well how to soften Yun Lin'ai's heart, but he couldn't stop the other party from being stubborn and was successfully deceived.
But he quickly realized, "You can't give it up, it's such a mess, and you don't want them to be trapped here."
He reached out to Yun Lin'ai's chin and rubbed him with his apple-scented hair.
The dormitory room in the command center does not have floor-to-ceiling windows, but only a small window for ventilation. The space is so small that it is even smaller than the bathroom in a beach villa. There is only a small desk in the corner, and the scattered handwriting on it is the battle plan written by Alpha.
Yun Lin looked at him gravely, thinking that the marriage plan really needed to be accelerated.
In order to welcome the arrival of several doctors, the general specially gathered several combat teams together at a long table in the cafeteria of the command center to have a meal.
"The conditions in the combat zone are harsh. The food isn't as good as outside, and water is often in short supply. Please don't mind if I neglect you, but we are very grateful for your willingness to come to the front lines to support us."
"Life is precious. I wish you a bright future!"
The old general gave a speech before the meal. When people get older, they always say some corny words. Pei made them feel uncomfortable after listening to them.
However, Lu Yichuang was dissatisfied with their seating arrangement. The old admiral took into consideration that several doctors were Omegas and did not arrange those rough Alphas to sit together with the doctors.
As a representative of the Southern General Hospital, Jiang Kuo has been in the Northwest combat circle for a long time, but due to work reasons, he and Lu Yichuang are both very busy and often cannot see each other even though they are separated by a wall.
So while they were eating, Lu Yichuang sat down next to Jiang Kuo.
At this time, Jiang Kuo was still talking to Shi Yu on the side, "It's been a long time since we last met. Are you feeling well?"
Jiang Kuo ignored Lu Yichuang and looked at Shi Yu with concern.
"Thank you, it's fine."
Shi Yu didn't have a big appetite, and Yun Lin'ai, who was sitting opposite him, acted as if he didn't see anyone around him. Every once in a while, he would put his favorite mushrooms in Shi Yu's bowl.
"Then eat more." Yun Lin'ai exposed him mercilessly, "You are in good health, so why don't you gain weight?"
After he finished speaking, he paused and glanced under the table. The pair of white shoes opposite him stepped on his combat boots and crushed them lightly.
When he looked up again, Shi Yu was talking to Jiang Kuo in a harmless manner.
“…”
Pei Rang seemed to be quite curious about Yun Lin'ai's frustrated expression and asked him stealthily, "What's going on between you and that young doctor? Can we have a drink at the wedding?"
Yunlin remained silent and treated him as air.
"But I remember the first time I went to the refugee camp, he saw what I was wearing and had a very strange expression on his face. I almost thought he was a spy sent by someone."
Yun Lin'ai paused while drinking water. "What did he say?"
Pei Rang recalled last year, "I don't think he said anything, he just asked a question."
"He asked me if the front line was dangerous. I thought he was trying to get me to tell him something, so I just replied casually."
Yun Lin'ai put down the cup in his hand and asked slowly, "What did you reply?"
Pei Rang was a lunatic in front of his own people, but he liked to act serious in front of outsiders, so Yun Linai reasonably suspected that his reply was not a good one.
"Of course I would say it's very dangerous. Casualties are normal in our line of work. We can't get away without some serious consequences." Pei Rang took a bite of watermelon, not paying much attention to Yun Lin'ai's expression. "But I also wanted to scare him at the time. What if he was a spy from somewhere trying to get into our headquarters?"
Yun Linai: "He looks like a spy?"
Pei Rang glanced at Shi Yu sitting across from him. "Not really, but one should always be on guard. But I'm not worried now. Isn't he your Omega?"
Yun Linai wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief and said, "Your team's wedding wine is gone."
Pei Rang: “?”
Just as he was about to figure out what was going on, he noticed that Lu Yan was standing behind Lu Yichuang not far away. He had a sincere expression on his face, which seemed fake to Yun Linai.
"Brother, I'll offer you tea instead of wine."
I don't know where he got the news that Lu Yichuang's marriage application had been approved. Lu Yan, who usually doesn't see people, came over to congratulate him.
"May you be together forever and have a baby soon."
It was a very official blessing, which Yunlinai was not used to hearing.
Lu Yichuang knew that his cousin wanted to show up, so he put his arm around his shoulders and enthusiastically accepted his blessing.
"It's not good to have a baby too soon. I feel bad for Dr. Jiang. You haven't had enough of your two-person world, right, Dr. Jiang?"
Jiang Kuo had long been accustomed to his eccentric personality and didn't want to expose him on the spot. He just looked at him helplessly and didn't pay attention to Shi Yu's micro-expressions beside him.
I don't know which team member started it, but several single guys started talking about kids. It was rare that they didn't have a combat meeting, so they were all excited to talk about other topics.
"What about you? What kind of child does Captain Yun like?" Pei Rang no longer cared about the wedding wine and turned to ask Yun Lin'ai who was sitting next to him.
Yun Lin'ai did not participate in their conversation. For some reason, he became upset when the child was mentioned. Perhaps it was because his suspicion from six years ago had not been answered, and he was annoyed because he had no way to ask.
"Whatever." He said casually without thinking carefully.
The mushrooms on the chopsticks on the opposite table fell to the bottom of the bowl with a plop after a few seconds, and only Yun Lin'ai saw it.
Shi Yu lowered his eyelids slightly, staring at the end of his chopsticks in a daze. Then he raised his eyes inadvertently, and Yun Lin'ai saw the complexity and difficulty in his expression...
Thoughts suddenly filled his heart like unstoppable sea water. Yun Lin'ai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood everything.
The color on Shi Yu's face disappeared completely, but he still stared blankly at Yun Lin'ai's movements and shifted his gaze.
Yun Lin'ai's expression wasn't any better. He pulled the Omega away in front of everyone and said coldly, "Excuse me."
After leaving the cafeteria, Shi Yu came to his senses and asked Yun Lin'ai, "Aren't you going to eat anymore?"
The cold wind outside made Shi Yu's face even paler. Yun Lin'ai glanced at him, took off his coat and put it on him, "It's not tasty."
Shi Yu obediently let him hold his hand, "Are you still hungry? I can go back and cook noodles for you."
Yun Lin'ai was walking in front, and Shi Yu could only see the back of his head. It took a long time before he heard an incomplete word "good".
Currently, only Yun Lin'ai and Shi Yu live in the dormitory. The reason is that Lu Yichuang doesn't want to eat dog food, so he went to sleep in Jiang Kuo's dormitory. He is also forced to run a kilometer to the command building for meetings every day.
Yun Lin'ai would drive Shi Yu to the front-line treatment hospital one kilometer away every day, so every day the general could see the two people entering the conference room one after the other at the same time.
The room was very private. As soon as Shi Yu closed the door, his coat fell off his shoulders and someone put his arm around his waist and kissed him.
"Don't you want to eat noodles anymore?" Shi Yu looked at him vaguely through his glasses.
The person who always likes to show off his strength appeared flawless in front of Yun Lin'ai. If he hadn't seen the painful expression, Yun Lin'ai would have really been fooled by Shi Yu.
"I'm sleepy," he said.
Shi Yu knew that they worked very hard every day, so he nodded in understanding. He pushed Yun Lin'ai's shoulders to stop him from kissing him again, and told him to go take a shower first. Unexpectedly, he heard the other party ask, "Want to come together?"
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Yun Lin'ai was so clingy tonight.
......
Shi Yu fell into a deep sleep, unconsciously held in Yun Lin'ai's arms. He didn't know what he dreamed about, but kept curling up and hugging his belly, as if this was an action he had been accustomed to for six years.
But after tonight, such actions were particularly glaring in Yun Lin'ai's eyes. He didn't dare to ask anything, but he knew everything.
This feeling is too painful and torturous.
In the dark night, Yun Lin'ai's palm unfamiliarly touched Shi Yu's lower abdomen and rubbed it unconsciously. He didn't know that such a slight movement would attract Shi Yu's attention.
Yun Lin'ai's heart skipped a beat. In his sleep, Shi Yu muttered softly, "It hurts."
The person didn't wake up, and nestled quietly in his arms. The moonlight made his skin look very pale. If he hadn't heard his shallow breathing, Yun Lin'ai would have almost reached out to feel the person's breath.
Even though he knew Shi Yu was dreaming and everything in the dream was fake, Yun Lin'ai would still pat him softly. Regardless of whether Shi Yu heard it or not, he would willingly coax him: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
For some reason, the other party opened his eyes in a daze. Yun Lin'ai didn't know whether he was awake or not. Unexpectedly, when he just opened his mouth to ask, he felt Shi Yu frowning and muttering a few times. He overcame his drowsy consciousness, raised his head with difficulty, and placed a light kiss on Alpha's lips.
