It was midnight. Jiang Yao was still in a daze when she heard the phone ring. When she picked up the call, she heard Lu Xingzhiâs voice and immediately lost her sleepiness.
âIâm in Nanjiang City. What about you? Are you on the way home, or have you already reached home?â Jiang Yao asked.
âIâve already reached home.â
Lu Xingzhiâs voice was a little tired and hoarse. âIâll pick you up in Nanjiang City tomorrow morning. Then, Iâll take you to see the great desert.â
When she heard his voice, Jiang Yao immediately felt her heart ache. âDid you not rest well during the drill? Just like the drill with the field troops back then, you didnât rest for several nights in a row. Donât be in a hurry
to come here. Itâs better to relax at home for a day before coming to Nanjiang city to pick me up.â
âOkay.â
Lu Xingzhi knew that Jiang Yao felt sorry for him, so he agreed. However, he thought it would be better to go to Nanjiang city earlier and see her.
âItâs already very late. You should rest early.â Even though Jiang Yao wanted to talk to him a little more, she could not suppress her worry for him and hung up the phone.
However, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao was not sleepy at all. She tossed and turned on the bed. Her movements were so loud that even Moe, who was lying on her pillow, rolled his eyes at her.
âNo, I canât help it. Iâd better go back to Luo City!â Jiang Yao rolled off the bed. Without saying a word, she picked Moe up and threw him out of the room. Then, she closed the door, quickly changed into her clothes,
packed her luggage, and went to knock on Lu Yuqingâs door.
Lu Yuqing was a light sleeper. Her room was next to Jiang Yaoâs, so she was already awake when Jiang Yao threw Moe out of the room and closed the door. Therefore, when Jiang Yao knocked on the door, she quickly
opened it.
When she saw Jiang Yao and Lu Yuqing dressed neatly, she thought something had happened. âAre you going out? Is it urgent?â
âXingzhi called me just now. He has already returned to the army base, so I want to rush home tonight.â Jiang Yao pulled on Lu Yuqingâs arm in embarrassment. âSo, I canât stay here to accompany you. No matter how
busy the company is, you have to rest. Donât work like you donât want to live.â
âFine! Youâve convinced me! How long have you and Lu Xingzhi been married? Yourre still acting like a person who has just fallen in love. You canât even wait for half a night. Canât you wait until daybreak to go back?
Besides, is there a flight at this time?â Lu Yuqing could not bring herself to say those words when Jiang Yao acted coquettishly.
âIâve checked. Thereâs a train!â Jiang Yao giggled. âDonât worry. Big Ke and Ah Lu will come with me to take the train back to Luo City.â
âHave you packed your things? Do you need my help?â Lu Yuqing nodded. There was nothing to worry about with Big Ke and Ah Lu following her.
Jiang Yao shook her head. âNo need. Iâve already packed everything.â
Lu Yuqing fell silent and then burst into laughter. âI know youâre eager to go home. Hurry up and scram. I know you canât wait to go back because you donât want to deal with the companyâs matters every day.â
âYou are right! Iâm just lazy.â
Jiang Yao admitted that shamelessly. Then, she ran back to her room to get her packed luggage and went downstairs. Big Ke and Ah Lu were even faster than her. They were already waiting for her at the door.
The three people and a cat arrived at the train station at the right time. After buying the tickets, they boarded the train and rushed back to Luo City overnight. Big Ke and Ah Lu sent Jiang Yao to the army baseâs
entrance. When the soldiers saw Jiang Yao, they were also shocked..
