Shi Qi immediately grasped the key point and grabbed Gu Chijin's hand tightly.
"What do you mean, my brother and I will return to the capital tomorrow?
What about you? Where are you going on this mission?
Is it far from me?"
“I’m going back to my original unit.
The situation this time is special and I can't let others know that I'm going back.
You are my wife. If you appear in the military family compound, you will definitely attract attention.
For our safety, we can only let you return to the capital and live there for a while."
Shi Qi was a little confused:
"Return to the original unit?
Why do you need to go back?"
Isn’t it about catching the traitor who leaked secrets?
How did you end up in the army?
Could it be that there were traitors in the army they used to serve in?
Is he from the Li family or the Qu family?
Li Shaoyu did not explain to Shi Qi the subsequent developments, which resulted in her being unable to process the situation when she heard that Gu Chijin was going back to the military family compound.
Gu Chijin pulled Shi Qi to sit down and explained the matter briefly.
After Shi Qi understood, he looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.
After listening to Gu Chijin's explanation of the situation, Shi Qi finally understood how much had happened between the Li and Qu families in the past ten days.
"Okay, I'll go back to the capital and wait for you.
You must come back safely.
I'll have our wedding dresses made in the capital."
Shi Qi knew that if she insisted on following Gu Chijin back to the military family compound, not only would she not be able to help, she might even be a hindrance.
Reason told her that Gu Chijin's arrangement was the safest.
Even though he was unwilling in his heart, Shi Qi still agreed to it.
Gu Chijin held Shi Qi's soft little hand and solemnly promised:
"I'm going to come back and marry you.
I will never let anything happen to me.”
On the night before leaving, neither Gu Chijin nor Shi Qi could sleep.
At night, the lights in the ward were turned off and the room was quiet.
The cold crescent moon hangs high in the sky.
By the window, the cold wind, carrying moonlight, penetrated the curtains and fell on the floor of the ward.
Shi Qi lay on the accompanying bed, looking at the cold moonlight on the ground, his eyes sore.
She didn't say anything. Apart from feeling melancholy about leaving, she was still trying to recall the details in the book, hoping to provide Gu Chijin with some useful information before they parted.
Gu Chijin couldn't fall asleep either.
Looking sideways under the quilt, I saw Shi Qi's outline, and my heart felt sore and swollen.
The young couple were each thinking about their own things and thought the other was asleep, so they didn't say anything.
Shi Qi thought for a long time but couldn't think of any useful plot, and gradually fell asleep in frustration.
Gu Chijin couldn't sleep. He kept his eyes open thinking about what he would face after returning to the army until dawn.
The morning light dispels the darkness.
The golden orange light broke through the fish belly white sky.
Eight o'clock sharp.
Li Shaoyu's car stopped downstairs of the hospital on time.
Gu Chijin has already changed into his military uniform.
Standing by the window and looking down, I saw Li Shaoyu coming out of the car.
Li Shaoyu had just gotten off the car and seemed to realize something. He looked up and met Gu Chijin's indifferent gaze.
At this moment, Li Shaoyu actually felt that Gu Chijin was somewhat similar to him.
The two seem to be naturally heartless and equally indifferent to people or things they don't care about.
Pour abundant emotions only into the people or things you recognize.
Just like Ning Chu, just like their respective families.
Shi Qi came out of the bathroom after changing clothes and saw Gu Chijin standing by the window looking down.
Walking forward, Shi Qi looked down and saw nothing but a black car with an unclear license plate.
"Is your pick-up here?"
The two had a detailed conversation last night. Shi Qi knew that Li Shaoyu would pick her up and take her back to Beijing today, and would also arrange for someone to send Gu Chijin back to the army.
Gu Chijin retracted his gaze and shook his head:
"No, it's your brother who's here."
Shi Qi was stunned, the loneliness of parting came over him, his nose felt sore, and he murmured softly:
"So soon?"
She thought that he could at least wait for her to finish breakfast with Gu Chijin.
Noticing that Shi Qi was in a bad mood, Gu Chijin turned around and gently hugged her.
Resting his chin on Shi Qi's soft hair, he said in a serious tone:
“You go first.
Only after I see you get on the car safely can I go about my business with peace of mind."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but when he heard him say that, he felt aggrieved and his eyes became moist. He couldn't help but put his arms around his waist tightly.
The voice has a nasal tone:
"This time when you go back, just focus on your work and don't worry about me.
I'm in the capital, there won't be any danger.
But you must not act rashly and must protect yourself when there is danger.
Fame, wealth and status are not important, you as a person are the most important!
Gu Chijin, you must remember, I am waiting for you in the capital.
Grandpa and grandma are still waiting to have their grandchildren."
Shi Qi's voice was soft and wet, with an imperceptible fragility. Gu Chijin felt a pain in his heart and hugged her tightly, assuring her in a deep voice:
"With you here, I will definitely come back safely."
When Li Shaoyu walked in, he happened to see Gu Chijin wiping Shi Qi's tears.
Li Shaoyu walked forward and took Shi Qi by the hand:
"Ningchu, we can set off now."
Tears welled up in Shi Qi's eyes. She didn't want Gu Chi Jin to see her miserable appearance, so she nodded randomly at Li Shaoyu, brushed off his hand, and walked out quickly.
Gu Chijin stood there motionless, looking at Shi Qi's beautiful back, speechless.
Li Shaoyu glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and followed Shi Qi.
Five minutes later, the black car disappeared in front of the hospital.
Gu Chijin stood by the window of the ward, watching quietly for a long time without saying a word.
It was not until half an hour later that the person who was going to pick him up arrived and Gu Chijin turned around and left.
When leaving the ward where he had stayed for half a month, Gu Chijin took nothing with him except a hairband that Shi Qi used to tie his hair.
The moment the car drove away from the hospital, Shi Qi could no longer hold back her tears and they fell.
If there weren't other people in the car, she would have wanted to cry out loud.
After being here for so long, this is still the time when she is most emotional.
Worry and fear filled his heart, and Shi Qi finally understood what it meant to be anxious and uneasy.
Li Shaoyu could understand that his sister was reluctant to leave, but seeing her crying so sadly, he also felt very distressed.
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping Shi Qi's tears, Li Shaoyu comforted her softly:
“He’s your husband.
This time, the Li family needs his help and will ask him to do something, and they will definitely not disregard his life.
The kind of accident that happened last time will never happen this time.
Don't worry, he'll be back in one month at most."
Li Shaoyu's words at least made Shi Qi feel a little better.
Shiqi felt a little embarrassed when he realized that he had been crying for almost an hour.
Taking the handkerchief handed over by Li Shaoyu, she wiped her tears herself and forced a smile:
"That's good."
After saying this, Shi Qi stopped talking, turned his head to look at the passing scenery outside the window, and became quiet.
A black car took Li Shaoyu and Shi Qi to where the helicopter was parked.
In order to save time, they took the fastest route back to Beijing this time.
Shi Qi always followed Li Shaoyu's arrangements. He got out of the car, boarded the helicopter, and traveled all the way. Before dark, Shi Qi returned to the capital again.
