Chapter 22 Escape
"That's pretty much it." Cheng Siyan raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and then asked, "Do you want my brother to take you out to play?"
When this question was brought up, Cheng Suiran immediately wilted and said dejectedly: "I still don't want to... I want to catch up on mathematics on the weekend."
She didn't tell her brother about the "little things" the head teacher had done to her in the past few days. Her brother's vacation this time was not long, and she didn't want to make him worry anymore.
"You want to study so hard?" Cheng Siyan thought the little girl was worried about her studies, so she didn't continue to force herself. She just focused her eyes on the man opposite, narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, and smiled dazzlingly: "Of course
, the top scorer in science is sitting here, if there is anything you don’t know how to do, please trouble your brother Qi Zhi."
"..."
Li Qizhi looked at her inquiringly, but said nothing.
Cheng Suiran looked into his deep black eyes for a moment, and his heartbeat couldn't help but panicked. He quickly looked away and whispered: "This is not good. Brother Qi Zhi is so busy at work."
"Qi Zhi, I have been working recently..."
"I'm very busy and I have to leave tomorrow." Li Qizhi interrupted him quietly.
"So sudden?"
Cheng Siyan's expression was slightly disappointed, and then he sighed: "Of course, it seems you are going to the sprint class."
"Okay." Cheng Suiran nodded and looked up at the man opposite him. His watery eyes were full of worry. He hesitated for a moment and then asked softly: "Brother, is the place where you are on the mission dangerous this time?"
She checked online and found that the main mission of the air rescue team is to carry out emergency search and rescue of people who were buried due to building collapse due to earthquake disasters or other emergencies. It is a team established by the state.
The level of danger is extremely high. You must face all kinds of unexpected situations calmly at any time. If you are not careful, you may be affected by aftershocks or even die.
Hearing his sister's question, Cheng Siyan raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, he looked down at her, pretending to be serious: "Of course, as long as you are on a mission, it is dangerous, so you can only brace yourself up."
Only by coping with it can you survive in any dangerous environment and ensure the perfect completion of the task."
So every time he goes on a mission, he is mentally prepared for the worst, but there are often things that no matter how well prepared he is, when the day actually comes, he will still feel the strong helplessness and fear.
"When facing danger, brother, will you choose to continue completing the mission, or..."
"You and I pray that my brother is a member of the country, so there is no second choice." Cheng Siyan looked solemn: "After taking an oath, what you wear on your shoulders is not only the star, but also the responsibility to protect the people."
When Cheng Suiran heard this, his eyes turned a little red, and he cast his gaze on Li Qizhi. When he saw him nodding slightly, his face suddenly turned pale.
The words "sacrifice in the line of duty" had happened to her time and time again. She knew better than anyone else the feeling of losing a loved one, and she didn't want to experience the weight of grief and grief again.
Sometimes she wanted to persuade them and let them return to normal life, but at the same time she knew that from the moment they took the oath, they were the people first and her family second.
So she could only try to raise a smile and said warmly: "Brother, complete the task beautifully and come back safely."
After a long time, Li Qizhi suddenly spoke and said "hmm" in a clear voice.
Cheng Suiran raised his head again and looked into those dark eyes, feeling a little sour in his heart again.
After a tasteless breakfast, Cheng Siyan immediately returned to her room to catch up on her sleep, and the task of 'seeing off guests' naturally fell on her.
The snow that fell last night had been swept away early in the morning, and everything was quiet except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the dead branches.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Cheng Suiran couldn't help but shiver. She shrank into her down jacket. She looked at the man in front of her and asked softly: "Brother, how many days will you be on the mission this time?"
Li Qizhi pursed his thin lips slightly and responded quietly: "Not sure, maybe a month or two."
Hearing the news, she nodded. Before she said anything else, she heard him speak again and asked, "Are you having trouble at school?"
Cheng Suiran was startled. He didn't expect that he would guess it. He bit his lip, nodded and admitted, "Well, I have a little trouble."
"What happened at school?" Li Qizhi frowned and said in a steady tone: "Tell me."
"It's nothing, just some trivial things, not worth mentioning..." Cheng Suiran lowered his eyelids and shook his head, unwilling to say anything more.
She didn't want to distract him or worry him.
"Be obedient." Li Qizhi looked at the little girl in front of him, and his tone became softer unconsciously: "Tell brother, okay? Don't be afraid of anything. Brother is here."
"Brother, it's really just a small matter..."
But what she said made her feel more and more aggrieved, especially after hearing Li Qizhi's comforting words, she couldn't hold it back at all, and her tears fell down.
The little girl's tears came suddenly. Li Qizhi saw her crying like pear blossoms with rain, and felt a little unbearable, but he had no choice but to patiently coax her.
"Brother, can you give me a hug..."
Her voice was choked, and she raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, like a little rabbit who had suffered a great injustice.
"Yes." Li Qizhi responded, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't cry anymore."
Cheng Suiran rested his head on his chest, sniffed, and sobbed softly: "Brother, I'm afraid that I won't do well in the final exam this time. I took such a long leave, and I'm afraid that it will be delayed...
"
"Did the teacher say something at school?" Li Qizhi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face with his fingertips, and asked in a gentle voice.
"Well..." Cheng Suiran responded in a low voice: "The head teacher asked me to ask for leave until the final exam."
"Then do you want to take this exam?" Li Qizhi stretched out his slender right hand and gently stroked her hair.
Cheng Suiran nodded and replied in a muffled voice: "I think so."
"Then participate, no matter what the result is, it doesn't matter, I have a brother." Li Qizhi said gently: "Don't think nonsense, if your class teacher is saying something, then let her come to me."
"Okay." Cheng Suiran smiled slightly and put his head closer to his chest, greedily absorbing the unique aura of him.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and she reluctantly left the man's arms. Her eyes were still red, and she murmured: "Brother, I want to come back safely this time. I will send you text messages from time to time."
"Yeah." Li Qizhi chuckled and looked at the little girl in front of him with gentle eyes: "Okay, go back quickly."
