Chapter 108 I am Lu Shiyu’s wife
"Fu Mingshuang, wake up, don't sleep anymore..." This was a man's voice, like Lu Shiyu's voice.
No, it can't be him, he's not here.
"Wake up, Shuangshuang, are you a lazy pig?" The voice turned into a woman's, very light and sweet, like An Qian.
No, it can’t be An Qian either.
Who is that? Who is calling me?
"Fu Mingshuang, wake up, you can't sleep anymore..." This time, the voice sounded a bit like his own, "You have to go find Lu Shiyu."
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Fu Mingshuang woke up in her home.
She thought she had been unconscious for a long time, but after looking at the time and call records, it was only about ten minutes.
She wiped the tears from her face and immediately called Lu Shiyu, but the other party's phone was turned off.
She wanted to book a flight to Country C overnight, but all civil aviation had been suspended.
After waiting for several hours, the day finally broke. Fu Mingshuang, dressed in a professional suit and carrying a TV station's interview pass, entered the government building.
"Sorry, Host Fu, you still need to make a new reservation." The lady at the front desk refused her entry.
Just when Fu Mingshuang was hesitating whether to use the Fu family's connections, Song Lang appeared.
She hurried forward: "Secretary Song, do you know about the earthquake in Country C? Lu Shiyu can't be contacted, you..."
"Don't worry. Team Leader Lu sent us a location before he fell unconscious. The first batch of rescuers arrived in Country C last night. The second batch will be arranged this morning..."
"Can you take me to Country C as well?" Fu Mingshuang interrupted quickly, "I'll go with your rescue team."
"Ms. Fu, this is against the rules. You are not qualified to rescue. Only family members can go..."
"I'm a family member..." Fu Mingshuang was like grabbing a life-saving straw:
"I am Lu Shiyu's wife."
"What?!" Song Lang's pupils trembled.
"It's legal." Fu Mingshuang added.
***
As soon as the plane landed in Country C, we received news that Lu Shiyu had been rescued.
When he rushed to the military hospital, Fu Mingshuang saw Lu Shiyu still unconscious in the ward, but the doctor said that at least his life was not in danger.
Fu Mingshuang finally felt relieved. She left everyone's sight and hid in the back stairs, where she cried heartily.
Song Lang, who went to the back stairs to smoke a cigarette, saw him.
Both of them were quite embarrassed.
"Well, the Lu family is here too. Do you want to go out and take a look?" Song Lang finally found a topic.
Fu Mingshuang wiped away her tears and said, "No, please don't tell the Lu family that I was here."
She paused, then added, "Needless to say, Lu Shiyu."
Song Lang stared at her blankly and said "Oh" mechanically.
"Secretary Song, is there any way to return to China?"
"Are you leaving now?"
"Seeing that he is out of danger and there are people from the Lu family, I believe Lu Shiyu will be able to recover soon."
Song Lang thought for a moment and said, "There will be a special plane to evacuate overseas Chinese today. I'll arrange a car to take you to the airport."
"Well, that's troublesome."
"It's okay. This is the right that family members should have."
Fu Mingshuang took the special car sent by the consulate to the airport. On the way, she looked out the window.
There are broken walls and ruins all around, the exposed steel bars are twisted into hideous arcs, the few surviving walls look isolated and helpless, and the electric poles in the distance are crooked.
The air was filled with choking dust and a strong smell of disinfectant. Bodies covered with white cloth were neatly placed along the roadside, and the cries of devastated people echoed throughout the city.
Almost, the person lying in the white cloth was Lu Shiyu...
There was almost another person named Fu Mingshuang in the crying voice.
Fu Mingshuang felt heavy-hearted. She thought for a moment and called Fang Lan.
After hearing her thoughts, Fang Lan immediately scolded her: "Nonsense! How could you run to the front line!?"
"I'm already in Country C."
"you!"
Both sides were silent for a few seconds, and finally, Fang Lan sighed.
"Okay, I got it. I'll help you with the paperwork at the station."
"Thank you, Sister Lan."
"Oh, Sister Lan..." Fu Mingshuang stopped her, "I have some news that I need to bring back to China."
"What news?"
"The diplomats who lost contact, while fleeing the earthquake, returned to the hotel to protect state-class confidential information and were eventually trapped."
"Is it Lu Shiyu?"
"Yes." Fu Mingshuang handed the information he got from Song Lang to Fang Lan.
"Okay, I know what to do."
After hanging up, Fu Mingshuang asked the driver to stop the car on the side of the road. She put on her press card again, broke off the heel of her high heels, got out of the car, and walked towards the disaster area.

"I really don't understand you..." Dapang sat on the side of the road, wiping his sweat, not even noticing that the dust on his hands had smeared on his face. "Why would you give up being a live broadcaster in the studio and join us on the front lines?"
Dapang is the cameraman of the TV station who is stationed in Country C.
Fu Mingshuang humbly handed him a bottle of water and said, "I heard that our colleagues stationed in Country C also suffered casualties in this earthquake. Since I'm here, I'll stay and help."
Dapang took a sip of water before he remembered to ask Fu Mingshuang: "Hasn't civil aviation been suspended? How did you get here?"
"My husband came here for work and got stranded. I came here on a special flight as a family member."
After saying this, both of them had their own thoughts.
When Big Fat first met Fu Mingshuang, he was put off by her glamorous business suit standing amidst the ruins. He hadn't expected her to be a family member. As far as he knew, only the families of high-ranking officials had special planes arranged. So, this official's wife took the initiative to apply for a front-line interview.
Fu Mingshuang, on the other hand, was surprised at how often she blurted out the word "husband." Lately, she has been admitting she's married more and more often.
She seemed to have gradually begun to accept the identity of "Mrs. Lu".
"Let's go and continue working. Be careful of aftershocks." Dapang stood up, carrying the camera and led Fu Mingshuang into another piece of ruins.
Fu Mingshuang has been accompanying Da Pang in the disaster area for two consecutive weeks, collecting news material. Civil aviation is gradually resuming, and tomorrow the station will send a professional team to take over Fu Mingshuang's duties.
This was her last night in Country C.
She sorted out documents overnight in the temporary office area. She wanted to go to the hospital to see Lu Shiyu before leaving.
Even though the Lu family was there, she still wanted to see him.
At least take a look before leaving.
Fu Mingshuang was sorting out the information when the aftershock occurred again.
After being in Country C for many days, she was no longer surprised by anything. She leaned over to protect the computer and the first-hand information.
At this moment, behind her, unknown to her, a pile of debris on the tall iron cabinet was slowly moving towards the edge due to the vibration.
Just as the debris was falling, a figure rushed in and held her in his arms.
The debris crashed and hit the man's back.
"Hiss~" He made a muffled sound.
With just that one sound, Fu Mingshuang recognized that the man was Lu Shiyu.
"Lu Shiyu?"
"Yes, it's me, Fu Mingshuang." His deep voice came from the chest that was hugging her. Fu Mingshuang's nose felt sore and she bit her lip to control the sourness that was surging out of her.
The two of them hugged each other quietly during the aftershocks until they ended.
Fu Mingshuang quickly raised her head to look at Lu Shiyu. He looked pale and thin, with his jawline appearing even sharper.
"Are you okay?"
"Sneak out of the hospital." Lu Shiyu chuckled.
"How long have you been awake?"
Lu Shiyu didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Fu Mingshuang, who used to have a beautiful and exquisite makeup. Now she was disheveled and in a mess. There was dirt on her bare face. Lu Shiyu suppressed a smile and gently wiped her cheek with his fingertips.
"I heard that Mrs. Lu came to see me as a family member, but why did she come and just leave me in the hospital without caring about my life or death?"
Fu Mingshuang heard the teasing in Lu Shiyu's tone, pushed him away, and said dissatisfiedly: "Go away, I'm busy and want to go back tomorrow."
"So, we have more important things to do tonight..." Lu Shiyu closed her laptop, her amber eyes entangled with Fu Mingshuang's gaze:
"I came back alive, what reward will the young lady give me?"
He caressed her face and rubbed her crimson lips with his fingertips.
