Song Yan asked his subordinates to stay and guard the surroundings of the camp. He placed Little Yu on the ground and kept a distance from her as he asked, “Where did you guys go? Are you injured? Do you need me to call a military doctor over to take a look?”
When Qiu Xingyu heard his question, she blinked in confusion and asked, “Wasn’t it Uncle Song Yan who sent us back?”
“Why did you run off and then come back again? Don’t you remember anything?”
Qiu Xingyu turned around and stole a glance in the direction of Qiu Tong’s tent. She widened her eyes as if she had guessed the answer. She said in a low voice, “Is Uncle still angry with Mommy? Mommy must have hit you very hard, right?”
“Don’t blame her. Mommy regretted it after you left. She even secretly scanned the campsite for a long time!”
Qiu Xingyu tried to ease the awkward tension between them.
Song Yan was stunned as he stood rooted to the ground. He did not understand Little Yu’s words and could only half-heartedly return to the tent to sort out his thoughts.
Qiu Tong heard movement outside the tent. She got up and saw Song Yan with the children.
Over the past few days, Qiu Tong could sense that the children relied on him now. Even Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao’s attitude had changed.
Qiu Xingyuan’s willingness to stand up for Song Yan surprised Qiu Tong.
Annoyance and embarrassment flashed across her face as she pursed her red lips. Qiu Tong recalled her impulsive actions and frowned as she rubbed her own head.
Why did she slap Song Yan?
From S City to the neighboring city, Song Yan was the one who helped them survive the difficult times.
Qiu Tong knew that it was normal for Song Yan to not be able to take care of the children while commanding an attack, but she still blamed him.
“Why can’t I control my temper when it comes to the children?”
Qiu Tong sighed and picked up two cooked eggs before walking out of the tent. She looked at Song Yan from afar and explained awkwardly, “I was a little too agitated and went overboard. I’m sorry.”
“Since the children were found safely, let’s forget about what happened before. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”
A temporary light had been placed beside the tent, and Song Yan’s figure happened to be shrouded in shadow. Qiu Tong walked up to him with an egg in her hand and said, “Your face is still swollen, right? Roll an egg over the swollen area. It can reduce the swelling faster.”
“Let me help you.”
Qiu Tong raised her hand to help Song Yan settle the matter. Song Yan instinctively waved her hand away. He turned around slightly and hid his face in the darkness.
“I can do it myself…”
Qiu Tong looked at him in surprise and couldn’t help frowning as she tilted her head to look at him.
Song Yan took the eggs from her hand and hurriedly replied in a low and hoarse voice, “I understand and I’m not angry. You don’t have to take that matter to heart.”
Song Yan’s emotions were a little unstable. He pieced together Little Yu and Qiu Tong’s words and quickly came to a conclusion—Jin Yang had come!
He even communicated with Qiu Tong. Song Yan’s eyes surged with anger and conflicting emotions. He gripped the eggs tightly to suppress his emotions.
“The children must have been shocked today. Stay with them.”
Song Yan pushed Little Yu to Qiu Tong’s side, while he took two steps back to avoid Qiu Tong’s gaze, not letting her see his face.
