Gu Jia Ning closed her eyes, trying to hypnotize herself to sleep. After a long while, she still opened her eyes helplessly.
Helplessly muttering: "Gu Jia Ning, you are no longer a child, do you still need someone to accompany you to sleep in order to fall asleep?"
"For the previous seventeen years at home, you slept alone, and you slept well."
"Adapt, adapt."
Tossing and turning, Gu Jia Ning finally fell into a deep sleep in the late night.
At this time, Sheng Ze Xi and his comrades were temporarily resting in a remote village. Because they were rushing on their journey, his comrades had all fallen asleep.
Sheng Ze Xi looked out of the window, his hands behind his head, also missing his little wife in the Military Region.
He didn't know if his little wife was sleeping well without him around. What if she kicked off her quilt and caught a cold?
Before, he was the one tucking her quilt in. Now, only Ningning was left alone.
Northwest Military Region, the next day, waking up, Gu Jia Ning found that more than half of her quilt had fallen under the kang, and she also found that her nose was a little stuffy.
But after she got up and moved around for a while, it got better.
She knew that she must have slept badly last night and kicked off her quilt again. Fortunately, she had the Comfortable Pregnancy Pills given by the System, ensuring she wouldn't get sick throughout her pregnancy.
Gu Jia Ning found that habit was a terrible thing.
In just a few months, she had adapted to life with Sheng Ze Xi, or rather, Sheng Ze Xi had permeated every aspect of her life.
Now, many times, when she does something or thinks of something, she would subconsciously call out "Xi Ge".
Every time the door rang, she always hoped that he had returned after completing his mission?
Unfortunately, every time she was disappointed.
However, Gu Jia Ning always tried to comfort herself. Until the fifth night after Sheng Ze Xi left, she slept hugging Sheng Ze Xi's pillow, but when she smelled that there was no familiar scent on the pillow anymore, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Gu Jia Ning pouted, her voice choked with sobs, as if she were treating the pillow in her arms as Sheng Ze Xi, complaining her grievances.
"When will you be back?"
"This pillow, you haven't slept on it for a few days, and it already doesn't have your scent."
"Xi Ge, I miss you, come back soon."
After murmuring to the pillow for a long time, Gu Jia Ning fell asleep drowsily, a single tear still hanging from the corner of her eye.
At this time, Sheng Ze Xi in the distant place had just finished a battle and achieved victory.
Moreover, Sheng Ze Xi was always at the forefront, achieving the greatest merit and killing the most enemies.
After the battle, while resting, his comrades praised Sheng Ze Xi's bravery, saying that if it had been them, they might have been injured or shot.
Sheng Ze Xi raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
In fact, Sheng Ze Xi did this because of the invisible bulletproof vest he was wearing.
Two days ago, they were ambushed, and at that time, for the sake of his comrades, a bullet from the enemy was aimed directly at Sheng Ze Xi's chest, towards his heart.
Sheng Ze Xi had no time to react.
In that situation, the only thing he could do was to avoid his heart as much as possible.
But being shot was inevitable.
But in fact, Sheng Ze Xi was not shot.
The bullet, about 5 centimeters away from Sheng Ze Xi's chest, seemed to have encountered some obstacle and suddenly fell to the ground.
Only Sheng Ze Xi saw that magical scene.
Sheng Ze Xi's shock was indescribable.
He immediately realized that it was the invisible bulletproof vest that Ningning had mentioned that was working.
Although he believed Ningning's words, what was said was still not as real and shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.
Throughout the whole process, Sheng Ze Xi did not feel anything else, nor did he discover anything else.
He remembered what Ningning had said, that this invisible bulletproof vest wrapped his entire body, including his head, body, hands, and feet.
And the number of times it could block bullets was unlimited. As long as Ningning didn't let the bulletproof vest be taken off, it could continue to work.
Sheng Ze Xi thought: In that case, wasn't he invincible in the hail of bullets? Could he charge even further to the front?
Thinking this, Sheng Ze Xi did just that.
So, Sheng Ze Xi charged to the forefront.
When his comrades were worried that Sheng Ze Xi might be injured or killed in such a hail of bullets, unexpectedly, Sheng Ze Xi not only wiped out all the enemies but also returned safely without a single injury.
If Gu Jia Ning were here, she would know that in the future flashes she had seen, there were originally casualties and injuries in this battle.
Even Sheng Ze Xi was seriously injured in this battle.
Now, because Sheng Ze Xi was not injured, and because he charged to the front and wiped out most of the enemies, this battle not only achieved a quick victory but also had zero casualties and zero injuries.
While everyone praised Sheng Ze Xi's bravery, if the annihilated enemies could still speak, they would surely say: Yes, he is truly brave, as if he were wearing an impenetrable golden bell cover and iron shirt; the bullets dropped before they even reached him. What were they fighting for then? Who could not be brave like that? What were they fighting for? They had just reacted when they were shot in the head.
Gu Jia Ning, in order to prevent herself from missing Sheng Ze Xi so much, could only keep herself busy.
During the day, she went to the training class, and in the evening, she entered her space to study or make medicated plasters and pills.
It proved that being busy did have some effect, and Gu Jia Ning's mood improved somewhat.
Zhang Shuwan naturally noticed that Gu Jia Ning was missing Sheng Ze Xi. Sometimes, while eating or chatting, she would see Gu Jia Ning in a daze, her eyes full of longing.
As someone who had been through it, Zhang Shuwan understood that Gu Jia Ning was thinking of Battalion Commander Sheng.
Zhang Shuwan could only comfort Gu Jia Ning, saying that as military wives, their husbands were heroes who defended their country, so they had to be even braver.
"Sister Shuwan, I understand."
To make Gu Jia Ning's mood better, Zhang Shuwan would find time to chat with her and would also have Guo Guo accompany her.
That day, Zhang Shuwan knocked on Gu Jia Ning's door, "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the Beijing Military Arts Troupe will be performing tonight. Do you want to go? If you do, let's go together."
"I heard they're leaving tomorrow after their performance tonight."
Gu Jia Ning pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then let's go together."
She hadn't settled the score with Li Shuyue about the human traffickers yet. Gu Jia Ning was very vengeful.
Soon, it was evening. Gu Jia Ning and Zhang Shuwan walked with Guo Guo behind them, Lin Xing walking in front. The group quickly arrived at the Grand Auditorium.
Sitting in the Grand Auditorium, Gu Jia Ning couldn't help but think that the last time she came here was with Sheng Ze Xi. This time, Xi Ge was not by her side.
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Gu Jia Ning chatted with Zhang Shuwan while mentally searching for things in the System's Exchange Mall.
