Ye Xingchen returned to Yunchuan with his colleagues from the hospital. He first reported back to the military hospital, held a small meeting, made a brief summary, and then dispersed. Everyone was tired and couldn't wait to go home, and so did she.

.

After leaving the hospital, she immediately took a taxi back. She had already called Shu Rao in advance. Everything at home was fine. Fortunately, the earthquake in E City did not affect Yunchuan. Except for the slight tremor she felt on the night of the earthquake,

There were no adverse reactions after that, and Rao Rao and the two children were fine. However, Rao Rao was so worried about her that she couldn't help but cry on the phone.

The taxi took her downstairs in the community. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and many residents were asleep. But when she saw the light on in the familiar window, she suddenly felt warm in her heart. She paid the fare and got off the car immediately.

, use the running machine to rush upstairs.

After going upstairs, just as he was about to take the key to open the door, the door opened from the inside, and Shu Rao rushed out, "Xingchen!"

"Rao Rao..."

Both of them were a little choked up.

Shu Rao felt very distressed when she saw that Ye Xingchen had lost a lot of weight, "Xingchen, hurry up, go take a bath, take a rest, and I'll help you heat up the food!"

Ye Xingchen shook his head, "I'll take a look at the children first."

Shu Rao rubbed her wet eyes and said with a smile, "Sisi and Xinxin are both asleep."

Ye Xingchen quickly stopped talking and walked into the bedroom quietly. On the big bed, the two children were sleeping soundly. Sisi was sleeping on her side, with her two little hands clenched into small fists and placed on her shoulders, looking pink and puffy.

As cute as it is cute.

Seeing the cute little girl, Ye Xingchen's heart immediately softened. He couldn't help but want to kiss her, but he was so dirty and was afraid of being unhygienic, so he had to hold back for the time being.

Look at the little devil next to Sisi. He has completely arranged himself in a big shape on the bed. The quilt has been kicked aside by her, and the pillow has been thrown far away. The sleeping position is so exaggerated that Ye Xingchen can't help but sigh.

Laughing, Shu Rao also twitched the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to cover the little devil with the quilt again.

Seeing that both children were well, Ye Xingchen felt relieved and gently exited the bedroom, saying gratefully, "Raoruo, thank you for taking care of them for me."

Shu Rao couldn't help but frown slightly, "Just say something useless. If it were you, wouldn't you do the same thing?"

Ye Xingchen smiled and said no more polite words. He just opened his arms and hugged Shu Rao. Shu Rao looked disgusted, but there was a smile in his tone, "Oh, you are so dirty!"

With that said, he pushed her into the bathroom, then turned around and went to the kitchen.

Ye Xingchen felt warm in her heart. When she entered the bathroom, hot water and a change of clothes were ready. She took a quick bath to wash away the dust and fatigue on her body.

Throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, press the button, and it will automatically tumble.

After bathing, clothes were washed and hung to dry on the balcony. Shu Rao had already heated up the food and brought it to the dining table. A bowl of rice, two vegetables and one soup. She hadn't eaten for several days.

It tasted particularly good afterward.

Shu Rao also accompanied her for a few bites and inquired about the situation in the disaster area. After hearing this, she couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for the people who were affected by the disaster, and even more so for the soldiers.

After eating and digesting for a while, it was almost 12 o'clock when she went to bed. Ye Xingchen missed Sisi and wanted to sleep with the little girl, but Shurao's room couldn't sleep four people, so she had to carefully hug the little girl.

Go back to your room.

Sisi was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh. He put the little girl on his bed, then climbed onto the bed lightly, hugged the little girl gently, and kissed her.

Her forehead, the soft touch, and the faint smell of milk all made her couldn't help but feel warm, and she couldn't help but kiss the little girl's pink and tender face.

"Hmm... Ma Ma..." Sisi didn't know whether she was dreaming or was really awake, she mumbled softly.

Ye Xingchen stopped quickly, stopped teasing the little girl, patted her a few times, turned over, adjusted his position, buried his little face in her arms, and fell asleep peacefully again after a while.

He even made a small purring sound.

Ye Xingchen couldn't help but raise his lips, covered the little girl with a quilt, and turned over to lie down.

The big light in the room was turned off, leaving only a small wall lamp, which cast a soft light on the bedside, making it quiet and peaceful.

In stark contrast to this softness, is Ye Xingchen's uneasy heart.

Lying on the bed, she couldn't help but worry. Lou Xi had been gone for several days. She didn't know where he went or what he did, let alone why he came back and whether he was intact when he came back...

When she was in the disaster area, she couldn't help but worry, but at that time she was busy rescuing the wounded, so she didn't have much time to worry. But now that she is back, her thoughts are like an endless tide, engulfing her entire chest.

.

The whole night was spent slowly in Ye Xingchen's confused worries.

◎◎◎

The next morning, before Ye Xingchen got up, her cell phone rang loudly. She was startled. She picked it up and saw that it was Luo Lan's number.

As soon as he picked up the phone, Luo Lan's urgent voice came from the phone, "Xingchen, Lou Xi is back, but he was injured, but..."

"What?" Ye Xingchen's face turned pale before Luo Lan finished speaking, and he tightened his fingers on the fuselage.

Luo Lan explained quickly and said, "Xingchen, don't worry, Lou Xi's injury is not serious, and the soldiers also have some minor injuries. They are on their way to the military hospital now. You should go and have a look!"

Ye Xingchen was slightly relieved, but still worried. He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said, "Aunt Luo, thank you for informing me, I will go to the hospital right away."

"Well, don't worry, be careful on the road!"

"I see."

After putting down the phone, Ye Xingchen immediately got up and changed clothes, but Sisi woke up suddenly. She didn't know whether it was the sound of the phone that disturbed her, or her movements that were too loud. The little girl opened her sleepy eyes and saw Ye Xingchen.

At first, he was a little confused, blinking his eyes, as if he didn't dare to confirm. He raised his little hand and rubbed his eyes again, and looked again, and then he was sure. The expression on his little face was happy, and he immediately twisted his little body and sat up, spreading his hands.

Let her hug her, "Mama..."

Ye Xingchen was anxious, but she couldn't bear to leave Sisi anymore. Seeing the longing look on the little girl's face, her heart twisted into a ball. After thinking about it, she picked up the little girl with a slight sob and said, "Sisi

Think, let’s go and see dad with mom!”

"Dad?" The little girl was even more confused, with a look of curiosity and confusion on her face, but then she smiled and nodded her head obediently, "Yeah!"

I just met my mother and I’m going to see my father again. It’s great!

Ye Xingchen's heart felt warm and astringent, and she quickly helped the little girl get dressed. She was a little confused, but she told herself not to panic. In less than ten minutes, the mother and daughter were ready to go. After saying something to Shu Rao, they quickly went downstairs.

, took a taxi and went straight to the military hospital.

◎◎◎

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw a group of soldiers standing in the corridor from a distance, all of them were gray-headed and disgraced. Ye Xingchen was shocked and rushed over. Li Yi saw her and hurriedly stepped forward and returned the favor.

Before she could speak, she asked urgently, "Squad Leader Li, where is your battalion commander?"

Li Yi was frightened by her anxious look. He simply pointed to the direction of the ward without explaining. Ye Xingchen rushed over. The door of the ward was ajar. She hugged Sisi and rubbed her shoulder.

The door slowly opened.

In the ward, the light was very bright, and the morning light shone in through the window. Lou Xi was sitting on the hospital bed, his eyes slightly closed, unable to see his emotions. The quilt was covered to his waist, his upper body was exposed, and his left chest was wrapped with gauze.

...Ye Xingchen's heartstrings trembled violently and he opened his lips, but he couldn't say even a single word.

She ran over immediately without any surprise, and still stood there quietly, looking at him from a distance not too far away, for fear that he was a dream, and that he would be broken as soon as she walked over and touched him lightly.

.

He leaned back against the head of the bed, his head slightly raised, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something intently, and his expression also had a unique charm, quiet, deep, but so charming.

Because his hair is trimmed very short, the entire forehead is exposed, which makes the perseverance between his eyebrows more obvious. The eyebrows are very handsome, the nose is high, and the lips are thin and have firm lines, which represent him

He has strong willpower and is decisive in doing things.

"Dad!" Sisi spoke first, and the surprised childish voice broke the silence.

Lou Xi opened her eyes suddenly and turned to look at the door. She was facing the light, her slender face could not be seen clearly in the shadow, but her whole body exuded a gentle aura, and a smile slowly bloomed on her handsome face, as if

The glaciers melted at the equator, so warm. Ye Xingchen blinked slightly, and tears of joy fell down. Although he cried, he was happy. The nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed completely, but his whole body

But suddenly she seemed to have lost all strength. Even Sisi could hardly hold her, so she slowly squatted down and put the little girl on the ground.

Sisi ran to the hospital bed with her short legs, but Ye Xingchen stretched out her hands to hold on to the wall. Only in this way could she stabilize her weak legs. Her knees hurt. She accidentally bumped into the handrail of the stairs when she went downstairs.

.

Lou Xi gently helped Sisi, and the little girl twisted her body and climbed onto the hospital bed, calling out in a sweet voice, "Daddy..."

The soft and waxy voice made Lou Xi's heart warmer. He stretched out his arms to hug the little girl. Her soft little body brought a milky fragrance. He couldn't help but kiss her. Sisi Lai refused to stay by his side.

He moved and kept acting coquettishly.

Lou Xi hugged Sisi with one hand, and stretched out his other hand towards Ye Xingchen. His deep black eyes were filled with tenderness, dots of stars, and they were intoxicating.

The moment she saw Lou Xi reaching out to her, Ye Xingchen's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He was back. Although he was injured, it didn't seem serious. He could still smile at her and greet her.

Let reach out.

Seeing with her own eyes that he was safe and sound, she cried and laughed, and walked over with empty steps, "Lou Xi..."

She staggered forward, threw herself next to the hospital bed, and stretched out her hand to him. He did not hold it immediately, but slowly intertwined his fingers with hers one by one. He did this.

It was very slow, and it was obviously just a simple movement, but her breathing was tight, her heartbeat quickened, and the temperature of his fingertips spread to her bit by bit, so warm.

The moment their fingers intertwined, Lou Xi suddenly pulled her into his embrace with force. Ye Xingchen was startled, fearing that it would press his wound, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of embracing each other and relaxed her body.

She slowly leaned her head on his shoulder and carefully hugged his waist.

The familiar body temperature and familiar smell magnified the sadness in Ye Xingchen's heart infinitely. She didn't know why, it was obviously the time to be happy, but the moment she threw herself into his arms, she couldn't control her emotions.

, all the fragile emotions came up, and her tears fell on him drop by drop. She hugged him and murmured in a choked voice, "You are back..."
