Gu Xiaobei saw the embarrassed look on Ding Guihua's face, realizing she must be feeling uncomfortable. He didn't say much, but just smiled, bid his farewell, and went home with Qin Li and Jiujiu.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Lu Zhanguo and his team received orders to maintain stability in X Province. Gu Xiaobei's mood sank instantly. She understood this was not the time to be petulant. With teary eyes, she packed Lu Zhanguo's luggage, adding all the warm clothes, aware that X Province was even colder than here, the snow during winter could block the doors.
Lu Zhanguo looked at Gu Xiaobei, whose mood was visibly low, his heart aching. Sighing, he pulled the busy Gu Xiaobei onto his lap, "Alright, stop packing. Is there anything you want to say?"
Gu Xiaobei pouted, her eyes red, and asked, "Will it be dangerous for you guys this time?"
Lu Zhanguo kissed her pouting lips and said, "The danger is very small." He tried to reassure her with the truth.
