After reading the mind of his wife, the officer husband blushed

Zhang Ninglan replied, "Tonight until ten o'clock. Doctor Tang will come to take over from me at ten o'clock."

After hearing this, Ye Jinhong nodded and continued reading the book he had just read.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Zhang Ninglan stood up slightly, moved closer, and asked with a smile, "Comrade Ye, aren't you going home to wait for me?"

A warm breath hit his face, and Ye Jinhong's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

He was stunned for a moment.

Ye Jinhong gently pushed Zhang Ninglan back to her seat, then coughed and said, "Doctor Zhang, please sit down first."

Zhang Ninglan fell into the chair, somewhat confused.

Ye Jinhong continued, "Ten o'clock is too late to get off work. I'm worried about you going home alone. I'll wait for you here. When you get off work, we'll go home together."

Zhang Ninglan looked at the time and there were still three hours left.

She asked, "Aren't you bored sitting here?"

Ye Jinhong pointed to the book in his hand and replied, "It's not boring. I'll read for a while. You can do your own thing and don't worry about me."

Zhang Ninglan found Ye Jinhong's serious look quite interesting.

She smiled and decided to concentrate on finishing her work before playing with Ye Jinhong.

Outside the window, a figure stood in the darkness for a long time.

Tang Mingyu was holding a lunch box in his hand at this time.

Looking at the warm scene between Zhang Ninglan and Ye Jinhong in the office, his heart suddenly felt very empty.

Knowing clearly that it is impossible to do, knowing clearly that the heart cannot be moved, knowing clearly that there will be no result...

He sighed softly.

He understood the principle, but every time he saw that lively face, his heart moved.

What can I do?

Nothing can be done.

Then he turned around, carrying the lunch box, and his lonely figure gradually disappeared into the night.

……

After Zhang Ninglan finished the work in her hands, she couldn't help but yawn.

I looked at the time again and it was past nine o'clock.

Ye Jinhong stood up and poured another cup of warm water for Zhang Ninglan. He smiled and asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Zhang Ninglan nodded and replied, "A little bit."

"Maybe it's because I saw you here, so I wanted to sleep..."

Ye Jinhong felt something strange when he heard these words. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. Zhang Ninglan saw that his ears turned red.

[Are you so easy to tease? ]

Zhang Ninglan glanced at him secretly and muttered to herself.

After hearing this, Ye Jinhong coughed lightly.

Zhang Ninglan frowned and asked, "You keep coughing tonight, do you have a cold?"

Ye Jinhong was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Maybe my throat is a little uncomfortable, I'll just drink more hot water."

Zhang Ninglan said softly "Oh".

Then, she remembered the Lantern Festival party that Xue Jiayin had told her about in the morning.

She asked Ye Jinhong: "Did you know that there will be a Lantern Festival Gala tomorrow night?"

Ye Jinhong nodded and said, "I know. It will be held in our army."

Zhang Ninglan couldn't stop smiling when she heard this. She asked, "Comrade Ye, did you participate in any program?"

Seeing her curious look, Ye Jinhong raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Guess."

Zhang Ninglan patted his hands and said in a bored tone, "No guess, no guess!"

Ye Jinhong hugged her into his arms and said with a smile, "Yes, so, Doctor Zhang, you must come early tomorrow to watch my performance."

Zhang Ninglan's eyes flickered and she asked, "Really? What did you participate in?"

Ye Jinhong didn't tell her, but said: "You will know tomorrow."

Zhang Ninglan couldn't help but pinch Ye Jinhong's face, then quickly stood up and sat back in her chair.

"Today, Dr. Xue came to ask me if I wanted to participate in a duet program..."

Ye Jinhong smiled and asked, "Do you agree?"

Zhang Ninglan shook her head repeatedly and said, "I can't sing. I refuse."

Then, she looked at Ye Jinhong and asked curiously, "By the way, I've never heard you sing, Comrade Ye. When can you show me your voice?"

Ye Jinhong's smile did not stop. He said, "Wait for me to learn it, and then I will... sing it for you again."

Zhang Ninglan didn't expect Ye Jinhong to agree so readily, and she nodded repeatedly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Ninglan looked at the time and thought it was Tang Mingyu who came to take over from her.

Ye Jinhong opened the door.

It was indeed Tang Mingyu.

When Tang Mingyu saw Ye Jinhong, he smiled politely at him and said, "Comrade Ye is here too."

Ye Jinhong nodded and said, "I'll take Ninglan home."

Tang Mingyu nodded, then asked, "How is Comrade Ye's recovery going?"

Ye Jinhong replied: "Thank you for your concern. I am almost well now."

Tang Mingyu smiled, looked at Zhang Ninglan, and said, "Doctor Zhang, you can go home now. Be careful on the road."

Zhang Ninglan smiled and nodded, then put on her coat and wrapped herself tightly.

The nights in this season are very windy and cold.

Ye Jinhong took Zhang Ninglan's hand, walked around Tang Mingyu, left the office, and headed towards the family building.

Seeing that Zhang Ninglan had buried her head in her jacket all the way, Ye Jinhong moved closer to her and hugged her tighter.

He asked, “Is it cold?”

Zhang Ninglan shook her head and said, "Fortunately, I was protecting my face from the wind."

The weather is so dry that she will have to make a windproof hat to protect her face next time.

Her skin is very sensitive and will peel and crack when exposed to wind.

It’s better to take protection.

After entering the military compound, everything around was quiet except for the sound of the wind.

Zhang Ninglan couldn't help but sighed, "You know what, if you hadn't come to pick me up tonight, I would have been scared to go home alone."

Ye Jinhong hugged Zhang Ninglan tightly with some heartache, thinking about the time when he was away and went to help with earthquake relief.

So, he asked with some guilt, "How did you get home when I was away during that time?"

The scene of Zhang Ninglan running home alone in fear emerged in his mind, and he secretly swore that in the future, when he was not on a mission, as long as Zhang Ninglan came home late, he would definitely pick her up.

As they were talking, the two had already reached the door of their home. Ye Jinhong took out his key, opened the door, and then turned on the light.

Zhang Ninglan unbuttoned her coat, hung it up, and then replied to Ye Jinhong: "I didn't work the night shift during that period. Tonight is the first time."

"I didn't expect that you would come to pick me up on my first night shift. I'm not afraid at all to have you accompany me home."

Hearing this, Ye Jinhong hugged her tightly in his arms and then gently touched her forehead.

Seeing Ye Jinhong's kiss falling from her forehead to her lips, she gently pushed Ye Jinhong and whispered, "Go take a shower first..."

Ye Jinhong smiled, picked her up horizontally, then walked into the bedroom and opened the bathroom door.

Zhang Ninglan watched Ye Jinhong enter the bathroom together, her cheeks slightly red, and asked knowingly: "You... why did you come in?"

Ye Jinhong held Zhang Ninglan in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Let's take a shower together..."
