Seeing Bai Ruolan's frightened eyes, Cheng Qianfan sighed in his heart, and at the same time felt extremely caring.
His heart was extremely painful at this moment.
He realized that his wife was so worried about him every day.
After so many nights, he went out to act late at night, and he could imagine how worried Bai Rulan was at home:
Every time he returns safely, he can feel his wife's relief.
In order to avoid his concern, she hid this worry very carefully.
...
Bai Ruolan held her husband's arm and subconsciously exerted force.
She was so afraid of losing him.
She knows everything.
Although she didn't know his true identity.
However, as a lover, the closest lover, she could guess the nature of his work:
He is running for this country!
Every time Cheng Qianfan goes out at night, she lies in bed at home, coaxes Xiaobao to sleep, but she imagines what her husband is doing in her mind:
He walked in the dark night, running for this country and this nation.
Around them are enemies like forests, cunning and vicious enemies as wolves.
Then, she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Sometimes I get woken up by nightmares.
The husband in the dream, covered in blood, smiled and waved his hand to say goodbye to her.
The heart-wrenching pain woke her up.
Only when Cheng Qianfan returns safely can her heart be stable.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan's words frightened her. Her first reaction was that her lover was explaining her funeral.
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Qianfan showed a sunny smile and gently scratched Ruolan's nose with a finger. "It's not what you thought, I'll tell you again when I go back."
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan gently put his wife on the shoulder, "We will love each other for the rest of our lives. We will have children and grandchildren in the future, and our children and grandchildren are endless."
Bai Rulan showed a shy smile and gently hit Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan looked forward, looking at the citizens coming and going around him, looking at the faces.
He also saw students from Northeast exiles in the park giving speeches, hoarsely accusing the Japanese invaders of their crimes.
He also saw Xiaobao stop, put his hands on his hips, and shouted at them, "Brother, sister-in-law, hurry up."
Cheng Qianfan said in his heart: Ruolan, my wife, I didn’t deceive you, that is the life I yearn for.
However, the country is in danger and the nation is in danger. For the sake of the country and the nation, for the great red cause, and for these 400 million compatriots, I should not sacrifice this.
If you sacrifice, you are the one who is most sorry for.
...
Cheng Qianfan and his family of three met Professor Peng Yuou and Madam Shao who came here for a walk again.
Ma Shao happily pulled Bai Rulan and Xiaobao to play and talk.
Cheng Qianfan and Peng and Ou walked on the cobblestone road, chatting while walking.
"The central government has issued electricity to the whole country of the Wanping Lugou Bridge Incident." Peng Yuou said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I saw that there were students sending leaflets on the street. The Student Affairs Committee would like to remind the students to be careful."
"Anti-Japanese resistance to Japan and save the country is the general trend," Peng Yuou said, "We must start to learn to cooperate with the government, and at the same time learn how to protect ourselves in cooperation."
"What do I need to do?" Cheng Qianfan asked softly.
"The organization is preparing to launch a wide range of publicity activities in Shanghai, calling for anti-Japanese war, popularizing anti-Japanese knowledge to the public, and telling everyone what the Japanese invaders are." Peng Yuou said.
"I understand, I will stare at the police station." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
His task is to secretly protect the safety of his comrades.
...
"Professor Peng." Cheng Qianfan said softly.
"you say."
"From tomorrow, we will temporarily cut off contact," said Cheng Qianfan.
Peng Yuou's expression changed, and he immediately lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There is a very important task." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Is it dangerous?" Peng and Ou blurted out, but without Cheng Qianfan's answer, he realized it himself and knew the answer.
It must be extremely dangerous, otherwise Comrade "Flame" would not say that he would cut off the contact.
"Is it the mission from the Secret Service?" Peng Yuou continued to ask.
"Yeah." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"I don't agree." Peng Yuou said, "the organization will not agree."
"I've reported to the headquarters." Cheng Qianfan saw Xiaobao wave to him, and when Bai Ruolan smiled at him, he also waved his hand with a smile, "Headline has approved."
...
silence.
Peng and Ou were silent. He looked at his smiling young comrades-in-arms and waved his hand to his family.
No one knows that they are talking about life and death.
"Ten days later, outside the windowsill in my house, I will put a pot of flowers on the edge of the cat pot, which means I am safe and can resume contact." Cheng Qianfan continued.
"If this pot of flowers was not put." Cheng Qianfan stopped talking. He saw Xiaobao running over and said to him, "Brother, Xiaobao is thirsty."
Cheng Qianfan unscrewed the kettle he was carrying and handed it over.
Xiaobao took several sips.
"Take it over and give it to my sister-in-law." Cheng Qianfan twisted the cover and hung it on Xiaobao's neck. Xiao Nannan found it very fun and ran away with a giggle.
"I will arrange for Ruolan to take Xiaobao back to his hometown in Jiangshan to visit the grave. However, I know Ruolan. Even if I don't inform her to come back, she will come back to find me."
Cheng Qianfan glanced at his wife, with gentle eyes, turned his head and continued, "If I am gone, I hope the organization can approve my wife and Xiaobao to the Northwest Headquarters." Cheng Qianfan said softly, "My sister is in Yanzhou, and with her here, I should rest assured Ruolan."
"Xiaobao." Cheng Qianfan seemed to be trapped in sad memories and paused for a moment, "Xiaobao is the orphan of Comrade Zhulin and Comrade Luo Huijuan. We have the responsibility and obligation to protect the children."
Peng and Ou were shocked. He had seen Xiaobao many times, but he did not know that Xiaobao was the orphan of Comrade Zhulin and Comrade Luo Huijuan.
Praying and loving eyes were projected on the little cutie who was giggling, and Peng and Ou's eyes were a little wet.
He and Comrade Zhulin were comrades who had fought side by side for nearly ten years.
...
"On behalf of the organization, I agree to your request." Peng Yuou calmed down and whispered, "If you have any accidents, Ms. Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao, I will report to the headquarters, ask for help from the headquarters, and arrange for them to go to the northwest."
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "It's causing trouble for the organization."
Peng Yuou looked at the handsome young man and his warm smile as sunny as he was trembling inside.
What a good young man, what a good comrade.
"And Li Hao, if I am gone, he will definitely seek me and avenge me at all costs. I hope the organization can persuade him and develop him if possible." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Okay, we know Li Hao's situation. This is a young man with a good nature."
Cheng Qianfan saw Bai Ruolan walking towards Xiaobao's little hand, and he shook hands with Peng and Ou and said goodbye, "It's getting late, goodbye, Professor Peng."
"Take care." Peng and Ou held his hand vigorously.
