Chapter 125 The Duty
Yi Yunrui is aware of Wan Liqing’s uneasiness. He blinks his eyes and greets Gu Luan: “Director Gu, you are busy until now.”
“Hum. I have something urgent to deal with in the company. Commander, this is a.s.sistant Wan Liqing. a.s.sistant Wan, this is Ning’s husband, Commander Yi of the C Military Region.”
Yi Yunrui nods: “h.e.l.lo, a.s.sistant Wan.”
Wan Liqing looks a little embarra.s.sed: “h.e.l.lo.”
After giving some brief introduction, Gu Luan says to Xia Ning: “Ning, Baoer is going to have the operation tomorrow. You may hand over your work to a.s.sistant Wan temporarily.”
Xia Ning glances at Wan Liqing and nods: “OK. Thank you, a.s.sistant Wan.”
“It’s my pleasure.” Wan Liqing says and glances at Yi Yunrui stealthily.
Yi Yunrui frowns slightly.
Gu Luan leaves after talking with Li Baoer’s parents for a while. Considering that Yi Yunrui needs to go to the Military Region tomorrow, Xia Ning goes home with Yi Yunrui at around three o’clock.
Before they leave, Xia Ning notices that Dai Zhongheng standing in front of the gla.s.s of the patient room silently. When other people talk, he doesn’t say anything. Instead, he has been staring at Li Baoer and has never turned his eyes away.”
At that moment, Xia Ning realizes the real meaning of “having no other options”.
Dai Zhongheng looked at Li Baoer as if he was struggling mentally. Xia Ning knew that he was worried and helpless. As an army man, he protects the country and his home, but it is hard for him to stay around the people he loves most. At this moment, she understands what it means to be the wife of an army man.
The husband will be in the frontier to protect the country. As wife, she has to be proud of her husband and tries her best to understand him and help him.
“Sweetheart, what are you thinking about?” Yi Yunrui feels a little worried. After they come back from the hospital, Xia Ning is silent.
“Rui, Did Colonel Dai just come back from his mission?” Once speaking this out, she feels that she shouldn’t ask about that. She changes the question: “Sorry, I ask too much. Actually, I want to know if Colonel came back this time because of Baoer.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while: “He told me that he felt something had happened to Baoer. Therefore, he called me. And he had basically completed his mission so he came back in a hurry.”
“Colonel Dai knew that Baoer had an accident? How could he know? Telepathy?” Xia Ning is quite surprised.
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui nods, “You may think it incredible, but I understand him. Because just like him, I also had feelings every time when something happened to you.”
Xia Ning is stunned and she remembers all those happened before. That kind of feelings…She had them too.
Thinking of this, Xia Ning feels very warm in her heart. Unconsciously, she puts her hands on his legs: “Thank you, Darling.”
Maybe, this is the spiritual connection.
Only those who are blood-tired or love each other will have this kind of feeling. She actually knows it.
Yi Yunrui is a little surprised. He holds her hands: “I should be the one to say thanks. As an army man, we are out in service all year round. What we need most is the understanding of our wives. Sweetheart, do you feel regretful to marry me?”
Xia Ning smiles: “When does Commander Yi turn to be so sentimental?”
Yi Yunrui smiles. He holds her hands more tightly and murmurs: “Sweetheart, I feel lucky to marry you.”
Xia Ning is shocked and moved, thinking she should be the person to feel lucky.
The bathroom is warm with steam. They hug each other and gasp, not willing to leave the water.
Xia Ning is so tired that she doesn’t want to move. She crouches on him and leans her head on his chest, holding him tightly.
It is tiring, but she feels happy.
He is going to leave the day after tomorrow. She takes the initiative these days, including when they are bathing.
He often can’t help having s.e.x with her at once.
Then, they burn like fire meeting with dry wood and get themselves exhausted.
When the water gets cool slowly, Yi Yunrui holds her from the bathroom and puts her on the bed. Then, he embraces her tightly again.
“Sweetheart, do you feel comfortable?” Smelling her hairs, YI Yunrui asks in a low voice.
Xia Ning blushes to her neck. She leans her head to his chest and nods lightly.
Yi Yunrui smiles with satisfaction and holds her more tightly. He pats on her back: “You are tired. Let me hold you to have a good sleep.”
Xia Ning nods and closes her eyes.
Vaguely she feels that Yi Yunrui strokes her back. His breaths blow on her forehead. Then, listening to his strong heartbeats, she falls asleep…
The second day, Yi Yunrui sends her to the hospital before he goes to the Military Region. When she arrives, Li Baoer is still in a coma.
Dai Zhongheng is standing there silently. Li Baoer’s parents say that he has been standing like that for hours, from night to dawn.
Just as what he did in front of his father, he stands straightly there and doesn’t change his posture for hours.
It is said that Mr. Dai doesn’t get along well with this son. Xia Ning is curious, wondering what on earth happened between Mr. Dai and Dai Zhongheng.
Xia Ning brings breakfast. Li Baoer’s parents express their grat.i.tude again.
Xia Ning puts the breakfast in front of Dai Zhongheng, saying: “Colonel Dai, eat something. Baoer is going to have the operation soon. You need to get some strength to look after her.”
Dai Zhongheng glances at the breakfast. He wants to refuse, but he takes it over and says: “Thank you.”
Soon, Li Baoer’s doctor comes. It is almost the time. The doctor finishes the pre-operation procedure with the parents and comforts them. Then, Li Baoer is sent into the operation room.
Though it is not a big operation, the parents are so afraid that they walk around in front of the operation room. Dai Zhongheng still stands there silently.
Xia Ning is more worried about Dai Zhongheng than about Li Baoer’s parents. She walks to him and says in a low voice: “Colonel Dai, Baoer will be fine. Don’t worry.”
Dai Zhongheng blinks his eyes and nods: “Hum. She will be fine. Thank you. Mrs. Yi.”
Xia Ning remembers something. She asks: “Are you going to the military exercises tomorrow?”
“Hum. I am leaving tomorrow.”
Xia Ning gives a sigh in her heart. She knows that Dai Zhongheng is worried.
At the time, the door of the operation room is opened, but the light is still on. A nurse comes out hurriedly: “The patient needs a blood transfusion at once. Does any of you are of the AB blood type?”
Hearing this, Li Baoer’s parents are both anxious. The mother is so worried that her hands tremble: “It is too bad. Neither of us is of the AB blood type. Ning, what about you?”
Xia Ning frowns, “I am of the B type.”
Dai Zhongheng rolls his sleeve and says: “Doctor, I am of the AB type. Use my blood.”
