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

Bo Yuxiu's hand froze slightly in mid-air.

"Just because I'm a living person?"

Shen Yao lowered her eyes, her voice soft and indifferent, "Yes."

Bo Yuxiu's hand slowly fell to his sides.

After a long pause, he gave a bitter smile. "Teacher Shen is a kind-hearted person. I was just overthinking things."

Shen Yao's eyes were lowered, and she didn't say anything more, but her two hands were tightly clasped together.

My freshly trimmed nails dug deep into my flesh.

The car started again and drove along the country road after the rain.

What was originally a beautiful, lush green landscape turned into a somber atmosphere inside the car.

Bo Yuxiu was about to play some music when he realized the network signal was unstable, so he had to give up.

"Go back to camp and get some rest. The captain just said that the next rescue team to relieve us has arrived."

"okay."

Shen Yao's hands were still clenched tightly, her sharp nails still digging into her flesh.

Upon arriving at the command center, the logistics personnel led them to the washing and dining areas and told them to make themselves at home.

Conditions at the command center were limited. After quickly washing her face and rinsing her mouth with mouthwash, Shen Yao changed into clean clothes in the makeshift dormitory and went to the cafeteria to get a boxed meal, which she ate standing up.

Although it's called a restaurant, it's packed with people who come to stay.

Shen Yao naturally wouldn't compete with them for a seat, so she simply ate standing up.

An elderly man saw that she was wearing a sign that read "Rescue Worker" and quickly stood up to give her his seat.

“You’ve worked harder than us, young lady, sit down and eat slowly.”

"No need, sir, I can eat standing up," Shen Yao said with a smile.

After a quick meal, Shen Yao felt sleepy and returned to the makeshift tent to rest.

Exhausted, Shen Yao fell asleep quickly, even while lying on the cold, hard iron bed.

In her dream, she saw Gu Tianyou and Bo Yuxiu, and it seemed like the two were about to fight over something.

Shen Yao hurriedly tried to stop her.

However, the two men fought even more fiercely.

Shen Yao was so angry that she woke up from her dream in a fright.

When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Knowing that she had to leave at 5 o'clock to relieve the previous batch of rescuers, she quickly put on her white coat.

As soon as I stepped out of the tent, I heard a commotion outside.

"Is Dr. Shen Yao here? Someone is looking for her!"

Shen Yao raised her hand. "I'm here."

A soldier in uniform saw Shen Yao raise her hand and said with a smile, "Dr. Shen, your friend is looking for you everywhere, he's sweating profusely with worry, you should go and see him."

Shen Yao frowned. Her friend?

Could it be that Lu Jiajia came to see her?

She gently tapped her forehead; she had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to tell her that she was coming to the disaster area for relief work.

Shen Yao hurriedly followed the soldier to another tent area. She was still thinking about how to explain to Jiajia that she had left in a hurry without telling her.

But from afar, he saw a man with disheveled hair and a bluish ring around his chin staring intently at him.

His black bespoke suit was draped over his left arm, and his tie was already askew.

The once neatly ironed and clean white shirt is now covered in grime.

The leather shoes, which were usually polished to a shine, were now covered in mud.

"Dr. Shen, this is your friend. You two have a good get-together. We'll leave promptly at 5 o'clock."

"Okay, thank you."

After thanking the soldier, Shen Yao looked at the man in front of her, but couldn't bring herself to take a step.
