Reading the mind of the pure and lustful wife, the abstinent officer blushed

Su Lingyu asked almost reflexively: [What's the noise?]

[Have you found Gu Yanying's whereabouts? Where is he? What's his current condition? Is he injured? ]

Su Lingyu asked a barrage of questions, and Jiang Yufeng felt her heart hanging in her throat. She even dared not breathe, for fear of disturbing the system's answer.

But the system delayed for several seconds before saying in a strange voice: [Host, something is wrong! ]

Su Lingyu asked: [What's wrong? ]

Jiang Yufeng's heart sank to the bottom, she was afraid of hearing bad news.

The system asked in confusion: [I just clearly sensed Gu Yanying's biological signs, but they were only vague and not very clear. The strange thing is that I only sensed them for a moment and wanted to investigate carefully, but found that his traces had disappeared again and I couldn't find him! ]

Su Lingyu frowned: [Disappear?]

Suddenly, an incredible idea came into her mind.

She also asked: [Will he be bound to the system like me, and have the opportunity to complete the mission and save himself? ]

Hearing this, Jiang Yufeng's eyes lit up with joy, as if a drowning person had grabbed a life-saving straw, or a thirsty person had seen a plum forest, and a glimmer of hope finally ignited in her eyes.

She was extremely excited, but her emotions were too obvious.

Whenever Su Lingyu looked up at her, she would be able to tell that something was wrong with her.

Wang Yiling hurriedly held Jiang Yufeng's hand in a soothing manner, on the one hand to comfort her, and on the other hand to remind her not to show her emotions too obviously.

Jiang Yufeng nodded secretly and managed to control herself.

But soon, the system's baby voice sounded: [Impossible.]

[How can a person from a mission world be bound to the system? Impossible, impossible.]

Su Lingyu said: [I don’t know the rules of your system, but what if? ]

The system hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: [It's impossible, host. Although I also want to comfort you, there is really no precedent for a human binding system in the mission world. ]

Although I am young, I have a lot of experience.

[I am a very powerful little Tongzi! ]

Su Lingyu: […Really?]

The system is just short of swearing: [Really! ]

Su Lingyu asked: [No chance at all? ]

The system said: [Absolutely not! ]

The little hope that had just emerged faded away again. Su Lingyu slowly exhaled, but she could not get rid of the discomfort in her heart.

She said: [You continue to track down Gu Yanying's whereabouts, don't stop. Also pay attention to Huo Yan's situation. If there is anything wrong, contact me immediately.]

The system immediately assured: [Don't worry, host! ]

After chatting for a few words, Su Lingyu came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Yufeng with an even more guilty look in his eyes.

It’s not that Jiang Yufeng isn’t sad. She has cried many times since she found out that Gu Yanying was missing.

But seeing Su Lingyu's pale face and guilty eyes, she couldn't bear to blame her.

She patted Su Lingyu's shoulder and said gently, "You are tired too. Wang Yiling and I will not disturb you. Have a good rest and don't think too much about other things. Good luck will come to those who are lucky. Yan Ying will definitely be fine. Even if... he is willing to leave you the chance to live, he certainly doesn't want you to blame yourself."

Su Lingyu took a deep breath and nodded with difficulty.

Watching Jiang Yufeng and Wang Yiling leave, there was no one around anymore. The ward was as quiet as the wilderness. Su Lingyu lay down hugging the pillow, her mind in a mess.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, the night outside the window was still dark.

The night was like a big net, covering the sky and the earth, and in an instant she was pulled into the torrent of last night... It was cold and damp, making it hard to breathe.

Su Lingyu was dazed. Suddenly, a big hand reached out and brushed her sweaty hair with gentle and delicate movements.

She turned her head and looked back. She saw Huo Yan sitting beside the bed. She sat up in surprise and asked expectantly, "Did you find it?"

Huo Yan shook his head helplessly: "No."

Su Lingyu's heart sank, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

She knocked on the system again in her mind: [Xiao Tongzi, check again to see if you can find Gu Yanying's whereabouts.]

The system immediately beeps twice: [Host, wait a moment, I'll be there soon! ]

But soon, its little baby voice rang out helplessly: [I still can’t find it. ]

Su Lingyu calmed down.

She felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to describe this discomfort. It was not the kind of heart-piercing pain, but a subtle and dense guilt. Yes, it was guilt.

Spoiled since childhood, she is used to the care and pampering, meticulousness and consideration from others, whether it is the sincerity of relatives and friends, or services bought with money, because she will also give back what she can, so she takes it for granted.

But there had never been a moment when she felt that she could no longer bear it.

Huo Yan held her in his arms, patting her back gently with his big hands, comforting her like a child. After a while, he slowly asked, "Lingyu, you know how I got my leg injured before, right?"

Su Lingyu raised her head and looked at him in surprise. He lowered his eyes, his gaze as calm as water.

"I know." Su Lingyu nodded.

Huo Yan's leg was disabled when he was on a top-secret mission. The battle was dangerous and brutal, with a huge disparity in numbers between the two opponents.

In order to complete the mission, he guarded the confidential documents tightly and waited for a long time in the dark and humid mountain forest. The festering parts of his body were even bitten by mosquitoes, rats and ants. He only held on to his breath with his tenacious will to survive. He waited for rescue and barely managed to save his life.

Although he survived, one of his legs was disabled and he could not walk properly.

“But you don’t know. There were 25 of us on the mission together. I was the leader, but in the end I was the only one who came back alive.” Huo Yan said, “In order to let me escape with the confidential documents, the brothers who had been with me day and night, they died in front of me one by one, just to let me escape alive.”

"My mind tells me that sacrifice is inevitable in carrying out the mission. But my emotions tell me that they all died for me, and I deeply feel that their choice is not worth it."

"Maybe if I were replaced by any one of them, they would also be able to complete the mission, and that way they would survive..."

"This thought haunted me for a long time. After returning from the battlefield, every time I thought of those scenes, I couldn't even hold my gun."

"While I was recovering in the hospital, I was also receiving psychological intervention. The psychiatrist told me that I had battlefield PTSD, which stands for post-traumatic stress disorder, and is medically classified as a mental illness."

"..."

Su Lingyu nodded. She was smart and vaguely guessed what Huo Yan wanted to say to her.

Huo Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Then do you know how I got better and how I figured it out?"
