Thinking that Ji Yao had woken up and was talking to him, he immediately looked at her, only to find that she was sleeping very restlessly. Her brows had been furrowed from the beginning. Perhaps because she was feeling unwell due to a fever, large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hair stuck to her cheeks along with the sweat.
He gently parted the strands of hair that were sticking to her face, and sighed inwardly.
What should he do with her?
He looked at Ji Yao with complicated emotions.
His fingers unconsciously caressed her smooth, delicate face as he murmured to himself, "Yaoyao, don't you understand? It's over between us a long time ago, there's no possibility anymore."
He was no naive young man. Yao Yao's repeated probing was enough to let him know that her influence on him was as strong as ever. That abnormal flutter of his heart was a clear indication of the woman's attraction to him, and that he had always loved her.
He had no doubt about this; if he hadn't joined the army in the first place…
However, this is only a hypothetical scenario. Mo Yanyu was able to successfully enter the special forces because he was smart enough, decisive and ruthless enough, and cruel enough. He was ruthless not only to the enemy but also to himself. So, when he realized that he still had feelings for Yao Yao, he had already made his choice.
He had to harden his heart. No matter how reluctant or heartbroken he was, he would persevere to the end, just as he had promised Mo Qing. He would never give up halfway; he had to…
The sunlight streamed into the ward in wisps.
His only response was silence; in the vast ward, only his voice could be heard.
About half an hour later, Mo Yanyu touched Ji Yao's forehead. Her temperature was much normal, and her complexion wasn't as bad.
The heart that had been hanging in mid-air finally breathed a sigh of relief. The IV drips that needed to be given had been completed, and now all that was left was to wait for her to wake up. The doctor said that as long as the fever subsided, there would be no problem.
But then his phone rang in his pocket.
When Mo Yanyu saw the caller ID on her phone, her eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously looked towards Ji Yao on the hospital bed.
His fingers paused slightly, then he turned and walked out, closing the door behind him, but only leaving it half-closed.
They saw Mo Qing and the other two guarding the door. When Mo Qing saw her brother come out, she thought Ji Yao had woken up, and her eyes lit up. She was about to push the door open and go in.
Upon seeing her brother, she put her index finger to her lips, making a gesture of quiet.
Mo Qing nodded knowingly, withdrew her outstretched hand, and sat back down in her original seat.
Mo Yanyu pressed the answer button, calmly walked a few steps to the side, estimated that the three of them couldn't hear her, and stopped.
"Hello, this is Captain Mo Yanyu, leader of the Qilin Team of the Beijing Special Forces Brigade. Yes, yes, that's all."
Mo Yanyu's voice wasn't loud, but some words still drifted into the ears of the three of them.
Mo Qing blinked subconsciously, her beautiful big eyes darting around.
She probably guessed it.
Who called my brother...?
Jiang Wenjing only needed to hear the words "Special Forces Brigade" to reignite her curiosity. Her eyes lit up as she stared intently at Mo Yanyu, who was also tall and straight while answering the phone.
Wow, special forces soldiers!
It sounds high-end and sophisticated.
Li Qian wasn't as gossipy as Jiang Wenjing. From a fellow woman's perspective, she understood why Yao Yao would fall for Mo Yanyu. After all, a man who was so outstanding, handsome, and calm was the most attractive.
It has to be said that Yao Yao has excellent taste. The Mo family has strong genes, and Si's parents must be exceptionally good-looking. Not only is Si beautiful, as pretty as a doll, but her brother is also outstanding, with a refined and elegant temperament, a perfect replica of the most popular type among girls these days.
Mo Yanyu, speaking in a lingerie-like voice, walked over and stood in front of Mo Qing, calmly saying, "Mo Mo, your brother has to go back to the unit for assembly first."
"So soon, leaving now?" Mo Qing was stunned and asked with some surprise.
Although she guessed it might be her brother's unit calling to inform him, she didn't expect it to be about his return to his unit.
What about Yao Yao... what should we do about Yao Yao?
"Yes." Mo Yanyu smiled slightly, and habitually ruffled her hair, answering a question that seemed unrelated to her own. "Be careful while I'm not home. If you really can't get used to living at home, you can move back to the dormitory."
Although he knew that once he returned to the army, the girl wouldn't stay at home obediently even if he didn't do this, he still couldn't help but tell her.
After all, he hadn't had time to investigate the events in Yunnan and the series of things that happened at the Shen family's house. If he returned to the army, far from the reach of the central government, he wouldn't be able to know immediately if something happened to the girl.
Instead of worrying and being afraid like this, it would be better to let her live at school. He has already spoken with Mo Tingqi and asked him to visit her every now and then. I think nothing serious should happen!
"Then brother, aren't you going to wait until Yao Yao wakes up before you leave?" Mo Qing's eyes darted around, and she quickly grabbed Mo Yanyu's right hand, which he hadn't had time to retract, and stared straight at him as she asked.
Yao Yao loves her brother so much, she has deep feelings for him, as her friend and best friend.
Mo Qing felt a strong obligation to keep her brother here, at least until she woke up, before leaving...
"With you here, I don't need it." Mo Yanyu glanced subconsciously at the ward door, her eyes flickering slightly, and answered indifferently.
This distance is better for them.
The eyes are amazing things; they are called the windows to the soul because they can express subtle or obvious emotions, letting people know what kind of person they are and what their mood is.
