Chapter 289: Protecting the Country and You (21)

After returning home, Yu Mu took a shower and lay back on the bed for a lazy sleep. When she woke up, it was already past six in the evening.

Yu Mu was hungry, but there was nothing to eat at home, so she ordered a takeaway. While waiting for the takeaway to be delivered, she thought of Xi Chen, and without hesitation, she called Xi Chen very readily.

The call was answered almost within a second after the ring.

Yu Mu was quite surprised. She didn't expect Xi Chen to answer the phone so quickly.

She leaned lazily on the sofa, holding the remote control to adjust the TV, and said: "I just woke up."

The girl's voice sounded very lazy, and there was a hint of sleepiness in her tone. It seemed that she was not lying.

Xi Chen didn't know what he was doing, and he just said "um" faintly.

Yu Mu didn't notice anything, and asked Xi Chen naturally and skillfully: "What are you doing?"

"Just finished training." Xi Chen said.

"Have you eaten?" Yu Mu asked.

Very strange.

Yu Mu is not a talkative person, and Xi Chen is not a talkative person when facing Yu Mu.

When in Myanmar, most of the time, Xi Chen chatted with Yu Mu casually and teasingly, and Yu Mu just replied to him lightly.

Now, Xi Chen's intentional alienation has made Yu Mu unconsciously get closer.

It's not that he ignored her when he was enthusiastic before, but now he is distant, and he suddenly wakes up and gets close again.

For Yu Mu, she didn't notice Xi Chen's intentional alienation from beginning to end. She called Xi Chen and took the initiative to ask what Xi Chen was doing. Everything was just a thought.

Whether it was in Myanmar or now.

In Yu Mu's heart, she didn't have as many concerns as Xi Chen about the two of them being together. Maybe for Xi Chen, two people must say "I like you" seriously before they can be considered together. But for Yu Mu, the time she spent with Xi Chen was not just these four short days, but also the long three planes.

No other extra words were needed. For Yu Mu, in her heart, Xi Chen had already belonged to her.

When she thought about it, she would call him.

Xi Chen paused for a moment, and then answered in a low voice: "Well, I ate. How about you?"

"I just ordered a takeaway." Yu Mu replied.

Xi Chen frowned and said, "It's not good to eat too much takeaway."

Yu Mu said lightly: "But I can't cook..."

Xi Chen was about to continue talking, but the next second she heard the girl's calm questioning voice from the phone: "When will you return to Kyoto?"

The girl's voice was light, and no emotion could be heard, but it made Xi Chen's heart nervous.

The man's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse: "What's wrong?"

Yu Mu replied: "Wait for you to come back and cook for me."

She answered very calmly, without any concealment.

Xi Chen's fingertips holding the phone seemed to be stiff. He lowered his long eyelashes. The handsome face of the man was clearly distinguished under the hazy moon veil, and his nose and brow bones were straight and sharp.

"...Okay, then you wait for me."

Under the moonlight, the summer breeze outside blew quietly, rolling up the heat and throbbing of summer.

The man's voice sounded particularly gentle in his hoarseness.

At that moment, the gentle breeze seemed to blow the clouds in the night, swaying gently, and the clouds and mist were pushed aside to see the sun, and the moonlight was blurred and gentle.

…

…

After resting at home for a day, Yu Mu reported to the hospital.

As Yu Mu thought, he was assigned to the surgical department.

At first, he did some odd jobs, organizing medical records and so on. After working for a few days, Yu Mu also followed the attending doctor to the operating room for observation and learning.

Yu Mu learned very quickly. In the eyes of others, Yu Mu instantly turned from an inconspicuous person into a shining pearl.

Gradually, other senior doctors in the department were paying attention to Yu Mu.

Half a month later, the department conducted the assessment as usual, and Yu Mu won the first place with excellent results. At the same time, he participated in various assessment exams outside, and soon became a legend in the People's Hospital.

Tan Jing, who entered the surgical department at the same time as Yu Mu, felt extremely anxious when she saw Yu Mu's extraordinary progress during this period.

She didn't understand. When she took the exam in school before, Yu Mu's grades were mediocre and there was nothing outstanding. Why did she suddenly become so good now? There were many questions that she couldn't answer, but she could answer them!

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. Except for the working time on weekdays, Yu Mu had almost all the time to chat with Xi Chen who was far away in Myanmar.

Sometimes Yu Mu followed the doctor to perform surgery and finished get off work very late. He was a little tired and forgot to reply to the message. Xi Chen would also send Yu Mu a good night message on time at eleven o'clock. Or sometimes when Xi Chen went out on a mission, Yu Mu would send Xi Chen a good night message.

These seemed to have become a habit.

But recently, something was strange. It had been five days since Yu Mu and Xi Chen last chatted, and Xi Chen had not contacted Yu Mu for five days.

No one responded to messages or phone calls.

Yu Mu sat on a chair in the office, frowning and asking Huang Tao: [How is Xi Chen now? ]

Huang Tao was also somewhat helpless: [Your Highness, the distance is too far, I can't grasp Xi Chen's whereabouts. ]

Hearing this, Yu Mu pursed his lips.

She opened WeChat, found Cheng Xie, and sent a WeChat message to Cheng Xie.

[Sanmu: Do you know where Xi Chen went these days? ]

During this period, Cheng Xie probably received Xi Chen's instructions and helped Yu Mu a lot in many things, although Yu Mu didn't really need it. But overall, it still saved Yu Mu a lot of trouble.

Cheng Xie didn't reply to the message, Yu Mu didn't wait any longer, put the phone aside, and continued to work.

Cheng Xie called Yu Mu after he got home from get off work in the evening.

"Hello, Miss Yu." Cheng Xie's voice sounded a little low, "Sorry, I was busy just now and didn't see the WeChat you sent me."

Yu Mu pursed his lips and sat on the sofa, his eyebrows and eyes were cold: "It's okay. Do you know where Xi Chen is?"

Cheng Xie seemed to pause, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this, Miss Yu?"

"He has lost contact with me for five days." Yu Mu said lightly: "According to his identity, I have to link his loss of contact with danger. So I want to know where he is now."

Cheng Xie opened his mouth and seemed to be a little hesitant, which was noticed by Yu Mu.

Yu Mu had a blank expression: "Xi Chen went on a mission, and there was a great risk, so he didn't let you tell me, right?"
