However, what Lu Jintian didn’t know was that so late at night, Jiang Xue had not yet gone to rest. After coaxing Little Reunion to sleep, she couldn’t fall asleep herself, so she read a book while waiting for Mu Qiancheng’s call.
It had only been seven or eight hours, and there was no news from Mu Qiancheng. She didn’t even know if he had arrived yet.
At this ti, Mu Qiancheng and the others had already reached their destination. However, due to the heavy rain, many roads were blocked and couldn’t be accessed. So they had to get off the car and walk towards the disaster area.
This delay ate up a lot of ti. Besides, the place was still in the afternoon, making it inconvenient to make any calls.
Jiang Xue was unaware of this, and Mu Qiancheng didn’t realize she would be waiting for his call all along. As ti passed, Jiang Xue finally couldn’t resist sleep any longer, so she put her book aside and closed her eyes.
anwhile, Mu Qiancheng and his comrades continued trudging towards the disaster zone, estimating they had about two more hours to go before arriving.
Fortunately, after another half hour, they encountered so vehicles ahead. It turned out that the disaster area was expecting them and had specifically sent a few trucks to fetch them.
Once he got on the truck, Mu Qiancheng finally had so spare ti. He prepared to send a ssage to Jiang Xue but saw that it was already 2 a.m.
Fearing he might disturb Jiang Xue’s rest, he quietly put his phone back.
Half an hour later, they finally reached the destination. Upon seeing the severe disaster situation, Mu Qiancheng and his comrades didn’t even think about resting and went straight into rescue efforts. The thought of sending a ssage to Jiang Xue was thus pushed aside.
Early the next morning, upon waking, the first thing Jiang Xue did was check her phone for any missed calls or ssages.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing. This made her feel a bit disappointed, so she dialed Mu Qiancheng’s number.
Jiang Xue thought, "If you’re too busy to call, surely you could pick up the phone when I call." But the phone rang for a long ti with no answer.
Ultimately, feeling despondent, Jiang Xue hung up and got up to make breakfast. Today’s breakfast was just for her and Little Reunion, so she didn’t make much. She cooked a bowl of wontons for Little Reunion, while she had a bowl of noodles.
After breakfast, Jiang Xue tidied up the house and waited for Lu Jintian to co and pick her up. As for Mr. Mu, she feared he might co over and find no one ho, so she called to let him know.
Jiang Xue played in the living room with her son for a while, and when she heard a knock on the door, she knew Lu Jintian had arrived. So she picked up her son and grabbed the bag to open the door.
"Xue’er, are you ready?" Lu Jintian asked with a smile as he looked at Jiang Xue opening the door. Jiang Xue lifted her bag a bit and replied, "I’ve been ready for a while."
"Alright then, let’s go," Lu Jintian said as he glanced at the bag Jiang Xue was carrying and then reached out to take Little Reunion.
Little Reunion already recognized Lu Jintian and knew he was Uncle, so he no longer resisted him. Being held by him, he even kissed him on the cheek, making Lu Jintian very happy.
He felt that his efforts were finally paying off. However, this made him even more reluctant to see Jiang Xue and Little Reunion leave Beijing.
Lu Jintian’s car was parked just below Jiang Xue’s building. When they reached the car, Lu Jintian handed Little Reunion back to Jiang Xue and then helped open the car door.
Jiang Xue got into the car with her son, and Lu Jintian joined them before starting the car and driving out of the community.
