Yun Jin answered He Tingchuan's call: "Are you hurt?"

He Tingchuan didn't expect her to say this right away. He glanced at the wound on his body and said with a smile, "I'm injured, but I won't die."

Yun Jin smiled. "I'm glad you're not dead. I'm still waiting for you to come back and make me some crayfish. Your daughter has been really talkative lately, calling me 'Daddy' every day. I guess she misses you!"

He Tingchuan felt warm in his heart: "What about you?"

Yun Jin's lips curled up, knowing what he wanted to hear: "I miss you too, every day, every night. If you don't call me, I can't sleep or eat, for fear that I will have to remarry with Xiao Nian Gao."

He Tingchuan didn't like the last two words: "What did you say?"

"Remarry!" Yun Jin was so angry that she wanted to die.

He Tingchuan's voice turned cold: "Don't even think about it.

"Don't think about it while you're still alive, but if you die, you can't take care of me!" Yun Jin just wanted him to live well, not for anything else, but just for her not to remarry, he had to live.

He Tingchuan understood what she meant, and felt warm and angry at the same time: "Don't say such things in the future."

"Then you stay alive."

"Okay!" He Tingchuan agreed.

Yun Jin was silent.

He Tingchuan didn't say anything either. The two of them just listened to each other's breathing for two seconds. He Tingchuan suddenly said, "I miss you too. I miss you and the child."

"I know now. I'm not at a disadvantage." Yun Jin's lips curled up, her eyes moist. Moved by his heartfelt words, she thought of something and asked, "Did Li Aiguo go on the mission with you? How is he?"

"It's okay, just a broken leg. I'll be fine after a few months of rest." He Tingchuan thought of the people he brought with him and Liu Xiaoguo, and his heart sank: "One of them can't go back."

Yun Jin was stunned for a moment, her heart aching. She comforted him, "My condolences."

"Yeah!" He Tingchuan wanted to say something, but seeing that someone was waiting to use it, he felt embarrassed to continue the call: "I'll talk to you when I get home. Take good care of yourself and Xiao Nian Gao, and wait for me to come home."

Yun Jin nodded and reminded: "Be careful."

Yun Jin hung up the phone, feeling relieved. Meeting Li Aimei's expectant gaze, she also lifted the heavy burden from her heart: "Your brother is fine. He went on the mission with him. He just injured his leg and needs to rest."

Li Aimei breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay to be injured, as long as I'm alive!"

Yun Jin thought so too. Thinking of the comrade who had sacrificed that He Tingchuan mentioned, she didn't know what to say. This earthquake was too strong. Compared with the present world, the casualties were much less.

Yun Jin regretted that if she had remembered the earthquake earlier and reminded people to evacuate, would there have been no casualties?

Little Nian Gao seemed to sense her mother's little mood, scratched her ear, looked at her nervously, and called out, "Mom!"

"Hey, what's wrong with my daughter?" Yun Jin was about to feed her.

Little Nian Gao jumped into her arms and hugged her without saying a word. After all, she was only eight months old and almost nine months old. She was considered to be speaking relatively early and could even babble.

Yun Jin calmed down and listened to He Tingchuan to take good care of the child, saying that this was more important than anything else.

During this period, the radio has been reporting the situation in Tang City. The rescue ended two days ago. It’s not that they didn’t want to rescue, but that they simply couldn’t rescue.

The time for survival has passed. Wasting manpower and resources may result in more sacrifices. Now is the time to carry out post-disaster reconstruction and comfort the displaced victims.

At the same time, Liu Xiaoguo's family also learned the news of his sacrifice.

Yun Jin had heard about it from He Tingchuan a long time ago. When she heard what Mrs. Gao said, she saw that Liu Xiaoguo's family was broken down and sad, and they found it difficult to accept the news of his sacrifice.

The atmosphere in the compound suddenly became heavy.

Yun Jin also went to express condolences.

Being caught by Liu Xiaoguo's wife: "Why him? Why?"

"It was just a simple mission, so why can't you come back?"

"It's fake, it's all fake, they are just talking nonsense, right?" Liu Xiaoguo's wife cried bitterly despite her five-month pregnant belly.

Yun Jin comforted her for a while: "My condolences, you still have a child. If nothing else, you should think about the child in your belly."

Liu Xiaoguo's wife stroked her big belly, and the sadness in her eyes was suppressed. She looked at her round belly and thought of the unborn baby inside. How painful it would be if she couldn't keep this child.

Thinking of what my husband said when he left, after this mission, I will save up my vacation time like the team leader, so that I can take care of you and spend more time with you when you are in confinement.

Now, the man who wanted to be with her no longer has a vacation.

No more saving up for vacation time.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoguo's wife lost control of her emotions: "Woo woo, why do you do this to me, why!"

Yun Jin really wanted to see He Tingchuan at this moment.

I always feel like everything is fake when he is not around.

When He Tingchuan came back, he brought back Liu Xiaoguo's ashes.

They got off the plane, and Commander Chen and the others were all there. Yun Jin was responsible for accompanying Liu Xiaoguo's wife to greet them. Besides her, there was also Mrs. Gao.

When Liu Xiaoguo's wife saw the urn covered with a red flag, she was so excited that she could hardly stand.

Yun Jin looked at He Tingchuan. He Tingchuan had a solemn expression, his eyes hiding sadness and self-blame. Seeing the tall man become thin, haggard and sad, Yun Jin almost didn't recognize him.

She protected Liu Xiaoguo's wife to prevent her from fainting, and comforted her not to be too sad for the sake of the child. The dead cannot be resurrected, and if she didn't want the child to be in trouble, she had to take good care of him.

Liu Xiaoguo's wife listened to it, and when she finally held the urn, she did not intend to go with him.

Liu Xiaoguo's wife said, "Wait for me. Once I have a child and raise him to adulthood, I will come find you. Please bless our child to grow up safely and healthily!"

"You owe me this. Remember, you must bless us!"

Yun Jin: “…”

After sending Liu Xiaoguo's wife back home and settling her down, Yun Jin finally spoke to He Tingchuan: "Welcome home."

"I feel sorry for Liu Xiaoguo's wife." He Tingchuan blamed himself.

Yun Jin patted his shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. Life and death are determined by fate. From the moment you put on this military uniform, you are ready to sacrifice for your country and your people."

"I think he should be too."

He Tingchuan was stunned for a moment, and thinking of the oath he made on the day he joined the army, he became more open-minded and no longer trapped himself in self-blame and guilt.

This time He Tingchuan and the others came back together, but in the form of ashes.

After watching Liu Xiaoguo being buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery, Li Aiguo returned to his home. He had injured legs and feet and was unable to move. After seeing his brother off for the last time, he was sent back by Commander Chen to rest.

As for He Tingchuan, he still has some things to report to Commander Chen.

Seeing Yun Jin standing not far away, eagerly waiting, Commander Chen waved his hand and said, "Report again tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest. I understand everything about Liu Xiaoguo's situation. It has nothing to do with you."

"Don't take it to heart. Even if you hadn't asked the bitch to stop and rescue her cubs, your car would have been buried in the huge crack. Not to mention him, even you guys wouldn't be able to come back."

He Tingchuan only found out later that it was thanks to their two-minute delay in parking that they perfectly missed the Death Rift.

As for the rescued bitch and two cubs, He Tingchuan brought them back.

There are a lot of things to deal with in Tang City now, and no one is willing to adopt the little bitch and her two surviving cubs. He Tingchuan decided to bring them back and raise them in the dormitory. After the little bitch recovers and adapts to life in the base, he will bring her back to the family compound.

By the time the two cubs have grown up, it will be a good time to find adoptive owners for them.

Later, He Tingchuan realized that he was the real enemy.
