Chapter 587 - Your Girl is Waiting For You VI

Panda Novel

Ye Yuwei wasn’t listening. All she heard was the flood and the collapse.

“Was it XX Village?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly.

“Yes, that was the one. Only some elders were left there. We have been trying to convince them to move out of the village but they wouldn’t listen…”

Ye Yuwei turned to leave before the receptionist could finish but stopped when Ye Xicheng called her.

“Mommy,” Ye Xicheng called out loudly. Ye Yuwei turned and looked at her two children. Xixi was standing beside her brother, holding his hand and looking at her mother curiously.

Ye Yuwei walked towards them, squatted down in front of Ye Xicheng and put her hands on his shoulders. “Mommy has to go somewhere. Can you and Xixi wait for mommy in the hotel? Mommy promises to be back very soon.”

“Did something happen to him?” Ye Xicheng’s eyes were wet and his voice was shaking, showing that he was genuinely worried about his father.

Ye Yuwei didn’t know how to answer her son.

“Nothing happened. Bring your sister back to the room, Mommy will be back really quick,” Ye Yuwei touched Ye Xicheng’s face. “You won’t let Mommy down, right?”

Ye Xicheng nodded with a straight but concerned face.

Ye Yuwei kissed him on his forehead. Just before she could get up, Gu Juexi walked in with a person on his back, looking terrible.

Ye Yuwei rushed to his side without thinking and recognized the person on his back—Master Yao Lao who looked equally wretched.

Gu Juexi put Master Yao Lao down gently and wanted to head out again before he could say anything.

“Gu Juexi…” Ye Yuwei reached out to help Master Yao Lao while looking at the man who was heading out again. “Where are you going?”

Ye Yuwei knew the answer but she asked anyway. The rain was pouring outside, and he was always doing what he wanted.

Gu Juexi who was drenched from the rain looked back with a smile on his face. “I was a soldier.”

A soldier would not run away when things happened. Even retired soldiers should return if the nation needs them, not to mention that it was a natural disaster that happened this time.

“You’re retired,” said Ye Yuwei loudly.

Gu Juexi held his hands tightly without arguing. “There was an old Red Soldier who was over ninety years old in the village,” said Gu Juexi, curling his lip. “Bring Master Yao Lao back with you, Ye Yuwei. I told Wen Tao to buy your return flight tickets, and there will be someone to pick you up later. It is not very safe here, so go back now,” said Gu Juexi as he walked away.

Ye Yuwei lifted her head and stared at the ceiling.

“My son sacrificed for the country,” Master Yao Lao murmured suddenly. “He sacrificed for the country, so how could I treat that child like that?” Master Yao Lao began to weep as she spoke.

Ye Yuwei had no idea what had happened last night but she was certain that Gu Juexi had spent the night in front of Master Yao Lao’s door, either standing or kneeling.

And now, he had put himself on the frontline for this flood.

Ye Xicheng clenched his fists tightly. Uncle Wang said that the old meatball was the best soldier of all, the best!

What Uncle Wang said about his father was like a seed, and it began to grow in Ye Xicheng’s head.
