After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Shen Yao was worried that it might be too much trouble for Bo Yuxiu's friends.

Bo Yuxiu picked up his phone and made a call to his "friend".

In less than half an hour, Bo Yuxiu's "friend" respectfully drove over.

"You've worked hard. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

"Okay, let's have dinner together another day."

After exchanging pleasantries, Bo Yuxiu's "friend" said he had to leave.

Shen Yao got into the car and looked at Bo Yuxiu with some puzzlement, asking, "Why does your friend seem so afraid of you?"

Bo Yuxiu said shamelessly, "That's just his personality; he's like that with everyone."

Shen Yao nodded. "I see."

Of course, the "friends" that Bo Yuxiu mentioned were not real "friends," but rather his servants.

Bo Yuxiu said this on purpose in order to appear more "down-to-earth".

After turning on the navigation, Bo Yuxiu directly entered the destination, started the car, and accelerated forward.

As a doctor, he knew that time was life.

The closer you get to the disaster area, the weaker the navigation signal becomes.

Fortunately, the signal from the command center remained intact.

They arrived safely at the disaster relief command center.

At the end of September, autumn rains began to fall.

Because the epicenter of the earthquake was in a town near Chuancheng, they had to drive another 50 kilometers.

The command center originally wanted Shen Yao to stay at the camp, since going to the front line was too risky.

However, Shen Yao stated that she had also conducted field training exercises and could adapt to aftershocks.

Seeing her determination, the head of the command center agreed to let her go to the front line.

Bo Yuxiu's handsome face was solemn. On the way there, he kept explaining to her where to run and how to protect herself if there was an aftershock.

His last words were, "With you by my side, I will protect you."

Shen Yao turned her head and looked at Bo Yuxiu, staring blankly for a moment.

After a moment, she smiled. "Teacher Bo, have you forgotten that I'm a doctor? Don't worry, I can protect myself."

“I know you know all the first aid techniques, but…” Bo Yuxiu looked at Shen Yao, “What I want to say is that I can protect you, and you can try to rely on me.”

"I...?" Shen Yao asked herself softly in her heart.

But in the end, she shook her head.

"No, no need, I can protect myself."

After saying that, Shen Yao turned her head away.

Bo Yuxiu gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and fell silent.

As we approached the epicenter, the signal almost disappeared.

It was already around 2 a.m.

It was drizzling down from the sky.

Bo Yuxiu was unfamiliar with the road conditions, so he drove with extra caution.

After driving for about half an hour, we finally saw lights in the distance.

As the car drew closer, Bo Yuxiu and Shen Yao saw soldiers in green uniforms unloading goods from trucks in the dark and rain.

A soldier gestured for them to stop.

Bo Yuxiu pulled the car over to the side of the road and showed his medical rescue certificate.

Shen Yao is the same.

Upon learning that they were a civilian organization that had come to provide rescue spontaneously, the soldier saluted them.

Bo Yuxiu returned the favor with one.

"You were a soldier too?" The soldier was quite surprised to see Bo Yuxiu's standard standing posture and salute.

Bo Yuxiu nodded and whispered to him that he had served in a certain military region.

The soldier nodded, his gaze softening with a newfound warmth.

Finally, he noticed Shen Yao standing next to Bo Yuxiu.

"Is this your girlfriend?"

Shen Yao quickly explained, "He and I are just colleagues, belonging to the same rescue medical team."
