Chapter 42: Bad News That Cannot Be Delivered

It was once said, "Time is the best thing because it heals everything." ”

Although this sentence is somewhat plausible in this place, it is quite appropriate for the "civilian medical center" that has finally regained its calm after thirty hours of continuous busywork.

After all, here today, all the wounded have been rescued, all the soldiers have saved their lives, and there is no painful wailing of the seriously wounded, no more desperate moans of the dying, it is indeed a reassuring picture.

It is so reassuring that all medical staff can breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that Haruka Ito, who is hiding herself in the infirmary, doesn't realize this at all.

Because......

"Hello, the phone you are calling is turned off......"

The flat and unremarkable, uninhibited electronic sound repeats the same content over and over again.

"Hmm-"

The girl unconsciously lowered her arm, which had become sore, due to continuous high-intensity work, and the haze in her heart became a little heavier.

"Sure enough, it still hasn't turned on...... she whispered, "it's a mission...... It's not over yet...... Or ......"

A trace of ominous shadow swept through the girl's heart, and Haruka Ito hurriedly took a deep breath, not daring to think about this train of thought again.

"No, it won't. It's just that the mission isn't done yet, I know that kind of thing......" she whispered, as if to an unresponsive phone, and as if to herself, "It must be like this, it must be ......"

"Are you calling Lieutenant Qin?"

A moving voice rang in my ears. Qingxiang was involuntarily startled, only to realize that there was a familiar shadow beside her at some point.

"It's Sister Hui......"

"You're okay, I've called you so many times and I haven't reacted, and you look like you've lost your soul......"

Then, Li Jinhui, who was a little concerned, naturally noticed the other party's mobile phone.

"Tsk, it's only been separated for a while, and I can't stand it until I want to hear each other's voices before I can sleep, such a level of affection, it makes people blush just thinking about it......" The beautiful female doctor joked with a smile about the beautiful girl of her disciple and colleague.

As if under some "prophecy" spell, Haruka Ito really blushed: "So, this, in fact, I'm ......"

It's a pity that she didn't have time to finish her words before she could finish them......

"Huh? What's wrong? The reaction of being dug into the shadow of his heart, wasn't it a phone call to Lieutenant Qin? ”

"I ......"

"Could it be a secret lover ......?"

"Huh?!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, because the husband went on an expedition to a foreign land, the lonely wife betrayed the vow of eternal love because of loneliness, and this kind of bridge is also a very common operation on various TV. ”

"No, it's not...... Qingxiang, who was completely shocked by this overly exaggerated brain hole, hurriedly explained, "It's a call to Qin Jun." I just ......"

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Li Jinhui cleared her throat as if she was trying to straighten her face, "Will you be worried?" ”

"I ......"

"Seeing that there are so many wounded people on the spaceship at once, I feel even more worried, is that true?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. Haruka Ito nodded slightly.

"Tsk, I really can't see that Ito is still the kind of heart-wrenching heroine who is 'a husband who is very worried about going to the final battle, but has to force a smile when he thinks about the future of mankind, but the inner uneasiness is still coming up'......"

Positive Dialogue ......

It hasn't lasted a minute yet......

The new words have once again penetrated into Ito Haruka's heart.

"Hui, Sister Hui, ahhh......h

"How's that, is there a feeling of fidgeting right now? Seeing that you are so absent-minded, you didn't even react when people called you......" Li Jinhui didn't give up, "Oh, speaking of which, you just operated on the wounded, right?" ”

"Ah, that's ......"

"So should I hurry up and check on them, have they accidentally pulled some scalpel or something in their stomachs?"

"Megumi, Sister Megumi......" Hauka Ito hurriedly interrupted the other party's increasingly marginal argument, "We are both old husbands and wives, and we have long passed that stage." After a long parting, the wife of a person with a high military rank has to grovel...... All these disadvantages were discussed when we got married; What else is there to be injured, killed in battle, etc., it's not a good idea to worry about this and that all day long. ”

It's just that......

After constantly emphasizing the speech of the "old husband and wife", Haruka ......

"I just hope that Qin Jun can come back safely, that's enough."

But he still made a wish that the preface was a little incompatible.

"I said Ito, I said you......" Li Jinhui took the girl's hand, "There should be a limit to being strong, just worry about it, what's so embarrassing." ”

"I ......"

"But then again, you should also have a little confidence in your husband, after all, your Qin Jun is the man who snatched my husband's title of 'Falling King'. Hey, shouldn't I hate you for a while, or help my old horse vent his bad anger and stuff a thumbtack or something in your shoes......"

"But, Sister Megumi......" Ignoring the other party's joke again, Haruka Ito suddenly raised her head and asked puzzledly, "Aren't you worried at all?" ”

"Huh?"

"Speaking of Major Ma, there has been no news of him until now......

"Worried?" Li Jinhui laughed, "This kind of thing has long been accustomed to me." ”

And then......

On the delicate face, there is a divine light of hope: "Speaking of which, it will be our wedding anniversary in two days, and the old horse said that he wanted to surprise me, what are you really looking forward to?" ”

"But, if so...... After all, he went to the battlefield. Qingxiang insisted, "There will be a danger to your life at any time, this kind of thing, Sister Hui, do you ......?"

"What I care more about than worrying about this is how to take care of this family for him, take care of Xiaobao, so that he has no worries ahead."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. ”

"Oh, when it comes to Xiaobao, when Lao Ma set off, he also said that he had contacted Xiaobao with a new tutor, but I think the level of the teacher is really not flattering, and when he comes back, he has to find another one for the child."

"Sister Hui, you're really ......"

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

"Ahh Li Jinhui didn't look at Qingxiang anymore, raised her head and looked at the deep space through the porthole, her eyes flashing with pride and pride.

It's just that in that dazzling eye, there is still a slight loneliness of uneasiness, which brushes over the anxious posture......

But in the next second, this shadow of disharmony was immediately overwhelmed by the unparalleled confidence that erupted out:

"Moreover, although our old horse may not be as powerful as your Qin Jun, he is also a former 'ace pilot', and the person in this world who can shoot him down has not yet been born!"

"Sister Hui......"

Then, at this moment, instead of the sentence that the beautiful girl's slightly open mouth was about to spit out, it was a more familiar voice, a slightly hesitant call.

Haruka Ito jerked her head back.

Actually, there is no need to look back......

Because from the moment she heard this voice......

No, a slight correction - from the first syllable she heard the sound come out......

She already knew the identity of the owner of the voice, the identity of the man she had in mindβ€”

Qin Feng.

"Qin Jun ......"

Subconsciously, the girl wanted to jump directly into the other party's arms and vent her thoughts and worries that she had never diluted even when she was busiest......

However, the environment in front of her still stopped her impulse.

"Looks like you need a separate environment now." Realizing that her presence had become a subtle discord in this room, Lee Jinhui glanced at her female colleague who was so excited that she almost couldn't help herself, "I'll go outside and see the wounded." ”

"Uh, Sister Hui......" Qin Feng lowered his head, looking rather embarrassed to choose his words.

However, just as he seemed to have mustered up the courage to say something more......

"If the door is to be closed, it will still be closed for you, so don't worry."

"I ......"

"But don't make too much noise, you two. Of course, this is mainly about Ito, you are here. ”

After saying this too subtle hint, Li Jinhui, who was afraid of being chased and killed, hurriedly ran out.

So she didn't notice the male protagonist in the room, and from beginning to end, he was just talking strangely to her.

So she didn't notice the embarrassment of Qin Feng's several times when he wanted to speak and stopped, and the gloomy eyes that accompanied him.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"What?! Is this true?! ”

In the room, Haruka Ito couldn't help but let out an exclamation after hearing her husband tell her husband all the news of Maher's sacrifice in a particularly unspeakable and uncomfortable tone.

"Well, it's true."

Therefore, the way Qin Feng nodded in front of her now also looked extremely heavy.

Haruka fell into deep silence. As a wife, unlike Li Jinhui, she had already seen her husband's poor state of mind at a glance, but she didn't expect to hear such overwhelming news from his clenched teeth.

"It's really, it's too much...... "After a long time, Haruka, who finally regained her language function slightly, let out a predictable indignation, "Major Ma, how can he be like this, obviously Xiaobao is still so young, so he has to carry such a heavy thing......"

Qin Feng was speechless, and he also felt the same for his wife's entanglement.

However, this is war!

War has never been a magnificent thing. It will not make normal and righteous people feel comfortable and happy, but will only make them suffer greatly in addition to their thrills.

However, they are military men!

Soldiers, they have to bear sacrifices. Therefore, they actually want peace more than anyone else, but when peace has become an unattainable luxury, they are not afraid of war, and will take up arms and protect this race with their lives and blood.

"So, Sister Hui, she ...... Don't know about it? ”

"Well, I'm planning how to talk to her." Qin Feng nodded, and sighed heavily.

Let's be honest......

I really can't handle this myself.

At this moment, he would rather face the most vicious Zerg, and would rather leave himself on the battlefield full of artillery than face Li Jinhui, the hero's wife, and the embarrassment of seeing the smile on her beautiful face freeze in an instant.

It's because I've personally experienced the grief of losing a loved one, so I can't tolerate it-

I can't tolerate seeing those who shout at the memorial service: "I feel honored that my husband died for humanity!" The wives could not see the sorrow in their hearts that they had to suppress when they shouted those words from the pulpit......

However, he was given the responsibility of taking care of his widow by Mach.

"How are you going to talk to her?" Haruka Ito asked.

"I, I don't know." Qin Feng replied, "I've thought of a lot of plans, but unfortunately none of them are good. ”

It's the truth.

He'd practiced countless times on his way here......

Try to make every expression and think hard about every word......

But all the efforts came to naught when I saw the smile that Li Jinhui turned his head to show to himself.

That's why Qin Feng chose to tell his wife all the truth, hoping to get her help and guidance.

But he understood it just as well.

As Mahe's widow's best friend and Li Jinhui's best friend, Haruka must not know what to do with this kind of thing in this situation.

However......

The girl still took the man's hand, and covered it with her soft, slippery little hands......

It's like using your own gentleness to cover the unspeakable and full of embarrassment in a man's heart......

"I'll tell her."

"Haru, Haruka?" Qin Feng was stunned.

He just wanted to ask for his wife's opinion, but he didn't expect that Haruka would take the hot baton from her hand at once.

Even if that part of the heat will burn her slender little hands, even if that part of the load is a burden that her delicate shoulders can't bear when "no matter who I see unhappy, I hate it".

"Ahh Qin Jun, what you can't do, just leave it to me; Qin Jun, you don't know what to do, leave it to me to solve. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not. ”

"After all, we're husband and wife." No matter birth, old age, sickness or death, rich or poor, even if the future is bumpy and fateful, we must always love each other; All problems must be faced together, and all difficulties must be overcome together. This is the vow we made together when we got married. ”

"Sunny, sunny fragrance......"

"So, let's work together now." Haruka she ......

With gentle and powerful tolerance, he tightly surrounded the young lieutenant: "Let's figure out a way together, how to talk to Sister Hui about this, how to take care of Xiaobao, what to do, the two of us, let's think about it seriously." ”

"Haru, Haruka!"

However......

There is no need for a solution.

Because......

I don't know when, after the door was suddenly opened, the face that appeared, had already received all the answers.

That one, which is still beautiful, but has been completely solidified, belongs to Lee Jinhui's face......
