"Xingxing, I’m having soone take you ho first. Your mom is probably very worried about you," Sheng Zexi said to Xingxing.
Even though Xingxing really wanted to go with Dad and Lei Ting to look for the bombs,
he also knew that, as of now, he was just a child.
Following them would only be a burden.
Moreover, Dad was right. Mom would definitely be worried about him.
He had to go back as soon as possible; he couldn’t let Mom worry.
"Okay, Dad, I’ll go ho," Xingxing said.
Sheng Zexi patted Xingxing’s head and arranged for soone to quickly take Xingxing back to the military district.
Seeing Xingxing get into the car, Sheng Zexi accompanied Lei Ting’s group and began the search.
There was no doubt that whether it was Amber or the four cubs, their sense of sll was extrely keen.
Perhaps it was because they had taken those pills awarded by the system since birth.
Their sense of sll was even better than Amber, their mother.
Soon, under the leadership of Shandian, Lei Ting, Hong Ying, and Lijian, the bomb search split into five groups and began.
And very quickly, they had results.
When Chen Han saw the first buried bomb uncovered under Lijian’s guidance,
his heart couldn’t help but sink when he saw the tir on it.
Initially, he still held a sliver of hope, thinking that maybe the so-called tid bomb didn’t exist.
But when he saw the first uncovered bomb, he no longer harbored any illusions.
Especially when he saw the bomb surrounded by apartnt buildings, thinking about the casualties the explosion could cause,
he imdiately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Quick, let’s hurry to find the next bomb." Watching the ti pass second by second, Chen Han didn’t dare delay.
Now, they were racing against ti.
This Huan Sha Island is neither too big nor too small.
But who knows where that group has buried all the bombs and how many there are?
There might be so omissions.
...
Military District Family Housing.
The lights in the house were on, and Gu Jia Ning was pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
Yueyue followed behind her mom and occasionally looked out the courtyard, waiting for sothing.
Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help it; she walked to the courtyard gate, looking out.
By now, it was completely dark outside.
The light on this side of the family housing was dim, and from a distance, nothing could be seen clearly.
But Gu Jia Ning still stubbornly gazed out, hoping.
Just then, Gu Jia Ning faintly saw a small figure moving in the dark ahead.
Her heart imdiately leaped up.
"Is that Xingxing?" Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help but shout.
At that mont, that small figure gradually erged from the darkness.
It was obviously Xingxing.
"Mom~"
Xingxing didn’t expect his mom to be waiting at the courtyard gate for him.
He imdiately ran toward Gu Jia Ning.
But mindful of his mom’s big belly, he stopped abruptly just before her.
The mont he stopped, he was wrapped in Gu Jia Ning’s embrace.
He could feel that his mom was holding him very tightly.
He also felt his mom’s anxiety because her hands that were holding him were trembling slightly.
"Mom, I’m back. I’m sorry I made you worry," Xingxing said, reaching out his small hand to gently pat his mom’s back, comforting her.
At this mont, with Xingxing in her arms, Gu Jia Ning’s anxious heart finally cald down.
It was because she was too worried that her trembling hands couldn’t be controlled and continued to tremble slightly.
"Xingxing, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere..." Gu Jia Ning hurriedly looked Xingxing up and down, even wanting to lift his clothes to check.
"Mom, I’m fine."
"It’s just..." Xingxing extended his hand, "The peace charm is broken."
Gu Jia Ning knew the amulet was broken.
It was precisely because she knew Xingxing’s amulet was broken that she was so worried.
At that ti, Xingxing must have been in a very dangerous situation.
"It’s okay, you’re fine, and that’s what matters. The peace charm, I’ll get you another one later."
"By the way, did you et your dad?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
Xingxing nodded, "Dad had soone bring back; he’s still busy..."
As he spoke, Xingxing held Gu Jia Ning and Yueyue’s hands and walked into the house.
Just now, seeing Mom with her big belly worrying about him, waiting so late at the courtyard gate, Xingxing truly felt incredibly guilty.
He shouldn’t have worried Mom.
The courtyard gate closed as they entered the living room.
Xingxing also recounted the things that happened after Yueyue left.
And when Gu Jia Ning heard that Xingxing rushed to shield Lei Ting from a dagger, her heart pounded fiercely.
She thought, if it weren’t for the amulet, what would have happened to Xingxing at that mont?
Gu Jia Ning couldn’t bear to imagine.
"System, thank you, really thank you."
Thank you for being by my side, thank you for rewarding with those things, allowing to protect my child.
As for Xingxing’s actions, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t bring herself to criticize him.
To say he shouldn’t have shielded Lei Ting from the dagger?
But, whether in Xingxing’s heart or hers, actually, Amber and her four cubs were family-like existences to them.
Lei Ting also risked his life to protect Xingxing, so how could she say such ungrateful words?
Lei Ting and Hong Ying are dogs, but they are also living beings.
They also have feelings.
Moreover, in such a situation, Lei Ting was always protecting Xingxing.
Otherwise, if Lei Ting were alone, it could have easily escaped.
Plus, Xingxing had the amulet, but Lei Ting didn’t.
If Lei Ting had been stabbed by the dagger, it would definitely have been life-threatening.
On Xingxing’s side, the amulet protected him from that fatal blow.
Perhaps, this really was the best outco.
So, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t say much.
"Mom, I’m sorry I made you worry."
"Yueyue and I shouldn’t have gone out on our own."
"Mom, Yueyue wants to apologize too."
The siblings both apologized to Gu Jia Ning, their little heads lowered, feeling very guilty.
Seeing Mom’s stomach still carrying a baby and them worrying her so much, if anything happened to Mom, they certainly couldn’t forgive themselves.
Gu Jia Ning gathered the two kids in her arms, "Mom knows you wanted to buy a birthday gift for ."
"But, Xingxing, Yueyue, to Mom, your safety and health are the most important."
"In the future, you must think twice before you act, understand?"
Gu Jia Ning found it hard to criticize them, after all, the two children did it all out of love, to buy her a birthday gift.
How could she reprimand them?
She could only tell them to be more cautious and think carefully in the future.
