Chapter 34: Departure



Lin Qingping couldn't help but look at it several times.

I have to say, Gu Juncheng is really handsome! He is so handsome in different ways when he wears casual clothes and military uniform. He is so tall and straight in his relaxed state, and he is so graceful in his gestures. She has seen so many people in her previous life, but none of them is better than him!

Gu Juncheng was very observant. When Lin Qingping was staring at him, he turned around suddenly and caught her gaze.

"What are you looking at?" He said with a serious face.

Lin Qingping was looking around for an excuse when she suddenly realized that he was not wearing the sweater she had knitted for him under his coat, but a black one.

"Xiao Lin! Xiao Lin!"

At this moment, Lei Sufang's voice came from outside.

"I'm coming!" Lin Qingping opened the door and saw Lei Sufang waving at him from outside.

"Are you ready?"

It turned out that Lei Sufang was going there too.

"Okay, let's go?" Lin Qingping turned and asked Gu Juncheng.

Gu Juncheng nodded, "Let's go."

So, Gu Juncheng accompanied her, Lao Chen accompanied Lei Sufang, and the four of them went out together.

They said they were going for a walk, but they didn't go far, just to the town where the troops were located.

Lei Sufang was in high spirits and bought a lot of things, including clothes, hats, scarves, candies, snacks and so on. Lao Chen followed behind with his hands full.

Lin Qingping was also very excited and accompanied Lei Sufang to pick things, but she only bought some ingredients needed to make cakes and desserts.

Gu Juncheng was carrying a bunch of food ingredients and asked curiously, "Is this all you're buying?"

"Um!"

Gu Juncheng looked at her happy face and didn't know what to say. Did she need to go to town to buy these things?

Seeing her smiling as she brought a small basket of hawthorns, she said, "And this too!"

Gu Juncheng: …

Even Lei Sufang teased her, "Xiao Lin, you really don't want to buy anything else? You can really save money for your captain Gu!"

Lin Qingping chuckled, "I have plenty of other things at home. I'll only be living here for a while. If I buy too much, it will be troublesome for me to bring it back."

She glanced at Gu Juncheng and thought: I didn’t tell you that I spent a huge amount of money to buy 500 pieces of clothing in one go because I was afraid that it would scare you...

After wandering around the town for half a day, the four of them found a restaurant to have a meal, and it was afternoon when they returned to the army.

As soon as he put down his things, Xiaotian came and found Gu Juncheng, inviting him to a meeting.

Gu Juncheng quickly changed into his military uniform and followed Xiaotian.

Lin Qingping didn't take it seriously and slowly packed up her things. However, the meeting lasted until the evening when Gu Juncheng came back.

When he came back, Gu Juncheng seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qingping was making whipped cream. For her, this was the most time-consuming part of the cake-making process. It would be better to make it tonight and just use it when she went to Lei Sufang's house tomorrow.

"Lin Qingping." He walked over and held her shoulders.

"Just tell me what's the matter! You're making me feel uneasy." Lin Qingping became nervous.

After her rebirth, the fact that Gu Juncheng would sacrifice himself has always been a huge shadow hanging over her heart. She always tells herself not to think about it, but it always pops up at some unexpected moment and disturbs her peace.

"Lin Qingping, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Lin Qingping didn't know how to describe her current mood. She was definitely disappointed, but she knew the nature of his work and understood him, so she tried to smile lightheartedly, "I thought it was something else. You're scaring me. Be careful!"

"Yeah." He tightened his grip on her shoulders, "My mission this time will be quite long."

Lin Qingping understood that her visit to her relatives was probably coming to an end.

I was reluctant in my heart, but I still smiled easily, at least on the surface, "It's okay, it just so happens that I am also thinking about my family and worrying about my second sister and Zhiyuan."

"Zhiyuan, thank you for your hard work," he said.

Lin Qingping shook her head. "What's the big deal? He's very well behaved. By the way, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Early in the morning."

"Then tomorrow night at Lei Sufang's house..."

"Well, I can't join in, and Old Chen has to leave too." He said, "But if you're willing, it would be nice for you family members to play together."

"Is that so..." Lin Qingping smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange it myself, just focus on carrying out your mission, um... I'm a heavy sleeper, you must wake me up and let me take you there, okay?"

"good."

The atmosphere was awkward and forced.

Lin Qingping didn't want this to happen, so she handed him the chopsticks and the basin, "Well, could you please help me, Captain Gu, tonight and froth the milk for me?"

Gu Juncheng took it without saying anything, "How do we do it?"

"It's very simple. Just keep beating it like beating an egg with chopsticks. Stop when I say stop."

Stop when I say stop.

It was just like that day when Gu Juncheng scolded her and asked her to recite the text: She was not allowed to stop until he told her to.

Lin Qingping smiled and joked, "Tomorrow, it won't spread that Captain Gu helped his wife beat eggs all night, right?"

Gu Juncheng's lips curved slightly, "It doesn't matter if it spreads."

He had strong hands and fast hand speed, and his efficiency was at least three times faster than Lin Qingping. While the two were talking, they finished typing it in a short while. After repeating it several times, Lin Qingping put it outside and covered it with a lid. The temperature outside was low, just like a refrigerator.

Because he had to leave the next day, Lin Qingping didn't dare to disturb his rest, so after they washed up, they went to bed early.

Lin Qingping was very honest. To be exact, ever since she had made an unspeakable guess about him, she had been very honest so as not to hurt him. Tonight, she tried not to speak and let him have a good rest.

However, unexpectedly, he spoke in the darkness.

"Lin Qingping, I'm sorry for you," he said.

Why do you say that?

The first thing Lin Qingping thought of was that he had concealed the fact that he couldn't.

She has been reborn, why would she care about this?

She immediately turned around, facing him, and comforted him, "Juncheng, you really shouldn't think like that. I've said before, I don't care about this. It's good for us to be spiritual partners..."

The mission will be launched tomorrow, and he must let go of this mental burden!

"Lin Qingping!" In the darkness, he called her name with some gnashing of teeth.

Alas, he doesn't like to hear this, she knows...

"Juncheng, even if you punish me to recite the text again today, I still want to tell you to put down this mental burden. In my heart, you are a hero and a giant! This little thing really can't affect us..."

"Lin Qingping! Say another word!" His eyes were like obsidian, burning with anger.

"Jun..."

She couldn't utter this sentence. In the darkness, the heat and wetness blocked the rest of her words.
