Therefore, Lu Yichen said with a sullen face, "Who were you talking to just now?"
At this moment, with Lu Yichen around, Kang Xiaoqiao's little heart finally returned to normal. Now that he asked, Kang Xiaoqiao blinked her eyes and said with a confused look, "What do you mean, who was I talking to?"
"Ah, I was, I was talking to my sister just now."
"My sister is missing, I was looking for her--"
At this time, the wind was strong, so Kang Xiaoqiao had to use a lot of strength to speak, so Lu Yichen could barely hear her clearly. Sure enough, he knew that this girl would definitely try to cover it up.
So, he continued to say with a cold face, "Then why did you say that you wanted someone to look for me? Hmm?"
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she immediately said sadly, "I can't find my sister. Who else can I look for if not you? But, you're not at home. I only called you to be brave. Who would have thought that you'd really come back--"
"Yichen, what should we do? My sister is missing... Ah--"
As they were talking, there was another bolt of lightning and thunder. Kang Xiaoqiao was so scared that she covered her head with both hands and immediately went into Lu Yichen's arms. Lu Yichen let out a muffled groan. His face turned pale, but he did not say anything.
He hugged Kang Xiaoqiao, then turned on the flashlight and looked around. At this moment, the room was filled with glass. Kang Xiaoqiao's body was a little blood red. She was probably cut by the glass.
There was a woman lying in the corner. She did not move at all. She must have fainted.
Lu Yichen carried Kang Xiaoqiao forward and tested her breathing. Then, he said, "Your sister was hit by a heavy object and fainted."
Kang Xiaoqiao said anxiously, "Is my sister okay? Quickly put me down."
Lu Yichen's face darkened. "The floor is full of broken glass..."
After saying that, he carried Kang Xiaoqiao and walked towards the small house. However, the moment he entered the door, he was stunned. Was this still his place?
What was the pile of small hills on the kang?
And on the study table, there were bottles and jars. This wretched girl had turned his study into her laboratory.
Kang Xiaoqiao saw Lu Yichen's imposing manner and curled up into a ball.
It was better not to provoke him at this moment. Sure enough, Lu Yichen threw Kang Xiaoqiao onto the kang with a cold face. Then, he turned around and brought Kang Daqiao over.
He found a tool to fix the rear window tightly, ensuring that no rain could come in. Then, he said, "Alright, you two stay here. The typhoon will pass in an hour or two."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately said nervously, "Yichen, where are you going?"
Lu Yichen looked at her and said, "I have to go somewhere else to see if anyone is injured."
Kang Xiaoqiao could not take it anymore. She grabbed his hand and said, "Yichen, look at yourself. You're injured. Why are you going somewhere else? Yichen--"
Lu Yichen looked at Kang Xiaoqiao's nervous expression and his expression softened. He reached out and tugged at her messy hair. "It's okay. I'll be back soon."
Kang Xiaoqiao's grip on his hand tightened. "Yichen, don't go, okay? Don't--"
But before she could finish, Lu Yichen's determined gaze told her that he had to go.
He seemed unwilling to explain to anyone. And now, she did not know if it was because he felt guilty that he could not accompany her in this stormy night, or because of something else... Lu Yichen rarely explained, "Xiaoqiao, don't be afraid. I'm just nearby. I won't go far. At the latest, you'll see me tomorrow morning. I'm a soldier. The common people need us now--"
Kang Xiaoqiao's grip tightened, and she immediately said with a worried expression, "But, Yichen, your arm... Your arm--"
Lu Yichen patted her hand. Seeing her panicked expression, his little face turned white. He lowered his head gently and kissed her forehead. Then, he pulled her into his arms. "Xiaoqiao, it's okay. Trust me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and left. Kang Xiaoqiao hurriedly shouted in shock, "Lu Yichen--"
"Don't try to be brave, you have to take care of yourself--"
Kang Xiaoqiao's voice was very loud, but the wind outside was even stronger. She did not know if Lu Yichen heard her or not. She had never hated the word 'soldier' so much.
Because Lu Yichen was a soldier, he could not accompany his family on this stormy night because he was a soldier. His left arm was clearly broken and there was a cast on it, but he still had to save the people around him because he was a soldier. Soldier...
Kang Xiaoqiao sat on the kang in a daze. No matter how stormy it was outside, she was no longer that afraid. Her entire heart was now hung on Lu Yichen's body...
After an unknown amount of time, she actually fell asleep. It was already the second day when she woke up, and the sun was shining brightly.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Kang Daqiao's big face that was filled with concern. She said happily, "Little sister, you're awake?"
"Quick, tell sister, are you feeling unwell? Ah?"
Kang Xiaoqiao felt her head was a little heavy, and her breathing was not smooth. She forced herself to be alert and said, "Sister, cough cough, water... Water..."
Kang Daqiao immediately handed over the water and said, "Little sister, quickly take a sip, quick..."
"When I woke up this morning, I found that you had a fever. Are you feeling better now?"
"Little sister, I remember that I was blown away by the wind when I just got off the ground yesterday. When did you pick me up?"
Pfft...
Kang Xiaoqiao had just taken a sip of water and spat it all out--
Kang Daqiao said anxiously, "Aiya, little sister, is the water too hot? I'll go cool it down for you right now--"
Kang Xiaoqiao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, it's fine, it's fine."
Then, she looked at Kang Daqiao. Other than a big bump on her forehead, everything else was fine. "Yichen came back yesterday--"
"Oh, right, did Yichen come back this morning? Sis, did you see him?''
Kang Xiaoqiao's mind was jumping a little too fast for her sister. She immediately reached out her hand and placed it on her forehead. "Aiya, you're still a little feverish. I'll go and give you a towel."
Kang Xiaoqiao saw that and was anxious. She grabbed her hand and said, "Sis, have you seen Yichen? Ah? Did you see him?"
Kang Daqiao saw that her little sister was anxious and quickly said, "Little sister, I know that you were scared yesterday. It's inevitable that you miss brother-in-law. But it's already dawn. It's time to wake up from your dream."
"When did brother-in-law come back? There's not even a shadow of him."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, she immediately frowned and said, "That's impossible. Yichen came back at night yesterday. Otherwise, why would you sleep on the kang? He said that he would come back in the morning. If not, I'll go find him--"
After saying that, she struggled to get off the kang. Kang Daqiao saw that she was anxious and quickly said, "Little sister, little sister, you're still sick. If there's anything, just leave it to me. It's just to find brother-in-law. I'll go, I'll go--"
As the two of them were talking, they heard someone shouting in the courtyard. "Is anyone there? Sister-in-law, is sister-in-law home? I'm the assistant of Unit Lu. Unit Lu is in the hospital. He asked me to inform sister-in-law."
