Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Chapter 430 Reluctant

At this moment, Sun Chan handed a small bag to Gu Junming; "Inside is a thermos, you can store some hot water and drink something warm. Also, there are two bags of pickled vegetables, ten salted duck eggs, I’m just worried you might not eat well. There are some medicines too. For colds, digestive issues, and also eczema. There’s underwear in the bottom bag, so you can change often." You always have to deal with water, and Sun Chan couldn’t help but worry.

Gu Junming didn’t speak, holding Sun Chan’s hand. Actually, such medicines will be prepared by the authorities, but he fully understood Sun Chan’s intention. He was also very moved.

Sun Chan leaned against Gu Junming, reluctant to let him go, as they had only been married for two days.

Finally, it was time to depart, and the two walked out hand in hand.

The vehicle in the yard was already loaded with quite a few people, spouses were there to send them off too.

It was Sun Chan’s first time seeing so many military spouses, of all types and appearances, talking softly with their husbands, giving them advice.

Sun Chan saw Ai Mei up ahead, holding a bag and standing in front of Liu Gang. Neither spoke, Liu Gang wore a face of impatience, glancing at his watch from time to time. Ai Mei had red eyes and looked aggrieved but dared not say a word.

Liu Gang had lost all patience with his wife by now and wanted a divorce, but she threatened to kill herself. Even his leaders advised against it, while parents back home eagerly pushed for divorce, leaving him helpless.

Ai Mei naturally knew Liu Gang’s thoughts. She wasn’t attractive, had no skills, and was getting on in years, but she really didn’t want a divorce. Returning to her village, she’d be ridiculed to death. How could she live? She had to cling to Liu Gang.

Finally, it was time for departure, and everyone boarded the truck, regardless of their position, all standing inside. The truck bore red slogans: "Flood Rescue, United as One."

Though she tried to hold it in, Sun Chan still cried, quietly sobbing.

Gu Junming firmly held her shoulder, "Take care, wait for my return."

"Mm." Sun Chan bit her lip and said, "Please be careful, don’t be stubborn; if it doesn’t work out, just run. Don’t be foolish during rescues, thinking you can do wonders and save lives, but not care about yourself. You’d be doomed."

Gu Junming couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, I only have one life, how could I dare to risk it?"

When it was time to go, Gu Junming suddenly hugged Sun Chan and then climbed into the vehicle directly.

Sun Chan watched the vehicle quickly depart, feeling somewhat hollow inside.

Other military spouses also left in small groups, and the atmosphere was very oppressive, with no one speaking. Their husbands had left, with no certainty of return, on such dangerous missions, there weren’t any jokes to be made.

When Sun Chan returned, Ai Mei caught up with her, "Sis, come sit at my place."

"Ah?" Sun Chan was stunned.

Ai Mei seemed embarrassed, then said, "Forget it, I’m just feeling down and wanted to talk. I’ll head back."

She finished speaking and then walked away briskly.

Sun Chan knew her feelings, probably wanted an outlet for her mood, but they were unfamiliar with each other, not knowing what to say.

Sun Chan entered an empty house, thinking of being together with Gu Junming just yesterday, feeling even more dismayed. She didn’t want to stay, locked the door and went back.

Wang Shufen was tidying up; after the wedding, the house was a mess, with peanut shells scattered everywhere and lots of shredded colored paper, cleaning up till now had only just improved.
