ten minutes later.

The children in the choir were frightened for a moment after the gunshot, but were calmed down by the priest and continued singing.

To be honest, children in war have really big hearts.

Lu Qi sat motionless in the chair, his hands clenched tightly and his eyes closed.

Until he smelled a familiar smell, he walked over and sat down beside her, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Doctor Lu believe in Jehovah?"

"Don't talk nonsense in the church." Lu Qi didn't open his eyes, but his hands gradually loosened and he continued to sit like this for another five minutes.

Pei Yao just put his hands on the back of the chair in front of him, turned his head and looked at her quietly. Perhaps for him, there was nothing in this world worth his belief.

When leaving the church, Lu Qi received a peace apple.

There were many more police officers on the street, but other figures were no longer visible.

Pei Yao opened the car door. Lu Qi didn't rush to get in. He suddenly stopped and replied to Pei Yao's question: "I don't have a fixed faith in anyone. I just visit temples whenever I see one."

Pei Yao looked at her suddenly. Lu Qi didn't have this habit when she was still in Malacca.

Now that you're a doctor, have you seen more deaths?

He casually said, "What are you praying for?"

Lu Qi looked at his face and said seriously, "I'm praying for you. Mr. Pei doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas. You always do dangerous things. What will you do without the protection of gods or Buddhas?"

Pei Yao paused slightly, his pupils slightly dilated, staring at her blankly.

How could he have imagined that she was doing this because of him? For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Perhaps he didn't expect that Lu Qi still kept this habit even after five years of amnesia, even though she didn't know what she was praying for.

Not intending to let Pei Yao speak, Lu Qi's eyes trembled slightly and he spoke bluntly.

"The shop owner and patrolman just now weren't good people, were they? You were going to deal with them, right? You lied to me again. You still refuse to tell me the truth, right?"

There was a moment of silence, Pei Yao's eyes fixed on her smooth cheek in surprise.

It turned out that she knew everything, she knew it from the moment he lied.

But she didn't ask, didn't say anything, and didn't add any burden to him until after the fact, but she was suffering in her heart.

He had no faith, but at this moment, looking into her eyes, he seemed to have found his faith.

With his jaw slightly clenched and his eyes lowered, Pei Yao finally spoke slowly, as if he was being honest.

"The shop owner and the patrolman are both members of the XX organization, hidden agents in the city."

As if anxious to reassure him, he added, "I wasn't in any danger. I just notified the real police station to come over. I wasn't the one who fired the gunshot just now."

As if comforted, Lu Qi forced himself to raise the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"I finally heard your truth. But, could you tell me earlier next time?"

"I'm trying to understand you and enter your world. But you don't tell me anything, just guessing and imagining. How can I try on my own?"

After saying that, Pei Yao subconsciously reached for Lu Qi's hand: "Qiqi!"

Lu Qi dodged and turned around to get into the back seat of the car with Leon.

Pei Yao's hand was suspended in the air, as if he had disappointed her again, but she also seemed to be giving him a chance.

On the way back.

Lu Qi didn't talk to him anymore, as if her mood was not affected too much. She chatted with Leon, and she didn't know what they were talking about. She lectured him and asked him to read more.

Pei Yao's eyes fell on the road ahead, and he listened intentionally or unintentionally, during which time a phone call came in.

In order to avoid disturbing the conversation between the two people behind, he put on the headphones and listened to the person explaining to him the follow-up matters of the bakery today.

Black smoke was floating in the sky, like a black snow.

Christmas Eve songs were sung near the houses passing by...

When they were almost at the camp, Lu Qi told Leon: "Don't run around when you follow me this time. When the term is over, I will take you back to Dubai."

Leon said that he had no relatives and came back to get something. He showed it to Lu Qi and it was a tin box filled with expired candies.

The child who had experienced war was very thoughtful. He didn't say anything and Lu Qi didn't ask.

When the car arrived at the campsite, Leon nodded playfully and jokingly said, “I know, Mom!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front slammed on the brakes, making a "squeak" sound.

The two people in the back seat almost rushed out. Lu Qi held onto the driver's seat and looked at the people in front in surprise: "What are you doing? The car broke down."

Pei Yao looked down from the front row and stared straight at Leon. It was strange that he had never looked at Leon seriously before, but now he seemed to be able to see a flower in him.

Without replying to Lu Qi's words, he stared at him and asked, "What did he just call you?"

Lu Qi squinted her eyes. She had previously complained to Pei Yao about the bakery but never mentioned pretending to be Leon's mother. Later, when she chatted with Leon, he didn't listen.

That's all I heard.

"Oh, call me mom. My son."

After saying that, Lu Qi opened the car door and pulled Leon out of the car without explaining to him.

Lyonte got out of the car obediently, bowed to Pei Yao, and thanked him politely: "Thank you uncle for sending us back."

Watching the two figures, one big and one small, walking towards the dormitory of the medical camp, Pei Yao parked his car in the center of the camp and stayed there for several hours.

It's not hard to imagine that this person exploded.

He deserves to have such wild thoughts. Who told him to let his thoughts run wild all the time?

For the next week, Lu Qi didn't see Pei Yao in the camp, but he heard people say that he was in the camp.

There were several times when there was a knock on the dormitory door. When he went to open the door, no one was there, which made Lu Qi think that the camp was haunted.

Until one night, just after the operation, Lu Qi took off his protective suit and was standing by the sink on the ground in the camp to wash his hands.

But not far away, two people, one big and one small, seemed to be talking about something from a distance.

Lyon was just about to deliver the dry food distributed by the camp to the medical staff when he suddenly met Pei Yao who was passing by.

They both stopped at the same time.

To be honest, Leon really liked Pei Yao. He was quite handsome, but he had a stern face and looked arrogant and dignified, like the fallen angel Lucifer. He was so scared that he quickly shouted, "Uncle!"

As a result, this person folded his hands without any grace and shouted: "Who is your uncle?"

Leon shuddered with fear, and after thinking carefully, Pei Yao probably didn't like this name, so he added: "Handsome uncle. I'm leaving first."

However, this man's mood did not improve much. Seeing Leon running away, he brought him back with one sentence: "Come here, I want to ask you."

Leon trembled with fear and stared at him with wide eyes.

He was silent for a while, then asked coldly, "What does your father do?"

He didn't understand why this person cared about his father. Leon was a small child who didn't know many words. He only knew that his father was researching drugs at the research institute. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Doctor."

"Heh." Pei Yao let out a cold breath from his throat. "So you met in the hospital, huh? Great, great, a perfect match, a perfect match."

Not understanding what Pei Yao was angry about at all, Leon was ready to slip away again: "Handsome uncle, nothing else, I'm leaving."

If he refused to leave, he would shout again, “Come back!”
