After an unknown period of time, Xia Yu finally finished the remaining twenty laps. Wang Hui estimated that it was time for the leaders to return after dinner. It was not good for them to see Xia Yu jogging alone, so he let him go temporarily.
“Xia Yu, there’s a call for you.” Xia Yu walked back under the hot sun when the correspondent stopped him.
A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yu’s face.
Who else would call him here other than Xia Wanyuan?!!
Xia Yu quickly walked to the communication room and picked up the phone eagerly.
“Sister,” Xia Yu’s voice sounded over the phone. The many days of training had its effects. Xia Yu had shed his naivety, and his voice was a little stable.
“Mm, how are you? Are you okay?” Xia Wanyuan’s gentle voice traveled over, making Xia Yu’s heart ache.
“I’m pretty good. I just finished my training.” Xia Yu’s voice sounded youthful and happy on the phone.
“Mm, don’t work too hard. If your body can’t take it, ask the leader for a leave. Your body is the most important. If your side has more mosquitoes, then…”
Xia Wanyuan had led troops in her previous life and knew that life in the military camp was not easy. It was dull and tiring. Although the current era was developing very advanced and the military camp was not as backward as before, training was still very difficult.
Xia Wanyuan patiently instructed Xia Yu about some things. Xia Yu, who did not feel wronged no matter how Wang Hui bullied him, had tears in his eyes when he heard Xia Wanyuan’s gentle voice.
Xia Yu pursed his lips and lowered his exquisite eyebrows, stubbornly refusing to let his tears fall.
“Do you understand?” Xia Wanyuan asked when Xia Yu did not reply after talking for a long time.
“Got it, Sister. I’ll call you next time. I’m going to eat first.” Xia Yu’s voice was nasal.
Xia Wanyuan was stunned, but she didn’t say much. “Alright, go.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan looked at the time on her phone.
13:08,
It was supposed to be rest time at this time. Why was he still training and hadn’t eaten?
“What’s the matter?”
It was supposed to be school time today, and Xiao Bao missed Xia Wanyuan, so he was brought back. Now that his Mommy was safe and sound, Xiao Bao stopped making a fuss and was sent to kindergarten by Jun Shiling.
After sending Xiao Bao off, Jun Shiling went upstairs and saw Xia Wanyuan looking thoughtful.
“Do you know which military district Xia Yu is training in?”
“I know. I don’t think you can go and visit him. It’s too far. It will take five hours to get there even by plane.” Jun Shiling squatted in front of Xia Wanyuan and checked her injuries.
“No, I think Xia Yu encountered a problem there. I’m afraid he’s being bullied.”
Having led troops for many years, Xia Wanyuan knew very well that no matter where she was, there was always a combination of holiness and ugliness.
In the military district, there were countless people who contributed to the country and were of noble character and integrity. There were also people who did not seek their position. Xia Yu had a stubborn personality and was young. He was the type of person that many veterans often said was “thorn”. Xia Wanyuan was very worried that he would get into a conflict with others.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to visit him.” Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up from the wheelchair and placed her on the bed. “Do you want to lie down for a while?”
“Mm.” It was time for Xia Wanyuan to take a nap.
“Then sleep. I’ll go to the study next door.” Jun Shiling tidied Xia Wanyuan’s blanket and was about to turn around to leave when Xia Wanyuan grabbed his sleeve tightly. Jun Shiling turned around in confusion.
“Accompany me.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes.
She felt that something was wrong with Jun Shiling these two days.
In the past, when she did not agree to Jun Shiling’s request, Jun Shiling would always say lovey-dovey words and play tricks on her, making her blush from time to time.
Now that she had agreed to Jun Shiling, Jun Shiling had become especially gentlemanly. Especially since this morning, Jun Shiling was especially serious when he hugged her.
Xia Wanyuan had also wondered if Jun Shiling didn’t like her anymore, but when she met Jun Shiling’s gaze, which seemed to want to burn her alive, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was overthinking.
“Be good, sleep first. I’ll come back and accompany you after I’m done.” Jun Shiling helplessly stuffed Xia Wanyuan’s hand back into the blanket.
“Come here and take a nap with me.” Xia Wanyuan patted the spot beside her. Ever since she had been locked in the cave for five or six days, she had always felt that she was especially afraid of the cold recently. Jun Shiling’s body was warm and comfortable. It was better to hug him than a pillow.
Jun Shiling paused, a struggle flashing across his eyes. He gritted his teeth. “Sleep alone first.”
“Do you not like me anymore?” Xia Wanyuan frowned.
“…” Jun Shiling froze.
How could I not like her? I liked her too much.
In the past, he only dared to tease her because he knew that nothing would happen, because she was not his.
Now, Xia Wanyuan was nestled in her arms obediently and dependently every day. She even treated himself as a pillow and kept burrowing into his arms. She had no idea how hard he had to endure every day.
Now, she even suspected that he didn’t like her.
Jun Shiling gently knocked Xia Wanyuan’s forehead. “What nonsense are you saying?”
