In Xu Xinghe's memory, since he knew how to use a spoon, it seemed that he had never been fed.

He grew up in the Union Welfare Institute. Although most of the teachers and nurses in the welfare home are very gentle, it is impossible for one person to take care of more than a dozen children in the class. And Xu Xinghe was the kind that was obedient and strong since he was a child, so he didn't need to be fed.

At this moment, Xu Xinghe looked down at the spoon stretched out in front of him, and then raised his head to look at Ling Changfeng, who had a serious face, there was always an unspeakable strangeness in his heart.

Some behaviors are probably only suitable for a certain age, and he has missed the period of childhood when he needs to be most cared for.

Xu Xinghe swallowed and said stubbornly, "I'm not hungry."

As soon as the voice fell, the spoon in front of him was handed forward again.

Ling Changfeng held a spoon in one hand, and tapped the side of the bowl with the other hand: "I ate less than half a bowl, so are you full?"

Xu Xinghe said firmly: "I'm full."

Ling Changfeng looked at him without saying a word, seeing Xu Xinghe inexplicably guilty.

Just when Xu Xinghe was about to give up his resistance and convince himself that "Forget it, it's okay to take a bite", Ling Changfeng suddenly sighed softly and put the spoon back into the bowl: "Forget it, if you don't want to eat it, don't worry. have eaten."

Marshal Ling, who has always been one-of-a-kind, reluctantly discovered at this moment that he really had nothing to do with his little spouse.

He sat down beside Xu Xinghe, his tone still gentle: "Are you still lacking strength?"

Xu Xinghe shook his head and whispered, "No, it's much better."

Ling Changfeng cast his gaze on the potted orchid placed on the bedside, and when he was silent, he suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I made you go through all this."

Xu Xinghe blinked: "Don't do this, I just wanted to thank you."

Ling Changfeng looked sideways slightly: "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for saving me out." Xu Xinghe lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, "I almost thought I was going to die in a foreign country, but when I woke up, I went back to Xingfu City. It feels good to be alive."

After speaking, under Ling Changfeng's complicated and unpredictable eyes, he picked up the spoon again, and quietly ate the remaining half bowl of nutritional supplements.

Then he whispered, "I'm really full this time."

Ling Changfeng suddenly felt that his heart softened into a ball.

As if seeing the little hedgehog in front of him put away his thorny coat, revealing his soft belly to himself.

The words that have been brewing all the way seem to have a vent here.

Ling Changfeng took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"I have something to tell you..."

"What happened to the kidnappers?"

The two spoke almost at the same time, and intertwined voices rang out in the quiet ward.

Ling Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little complicated.

In the evening, the colorful clouds spread across the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass windows like a dream and sprinkled on the two of them.

Under such a beautiful and romantic scenery, I should have done some beautiful and romantic things and said some beautiful and romantic words.

Talking about kidnappers at such a time is like a fly suddenly flying under the moon before the flowers, which is really unpleasant.

However, when Ling Changfeng raised his eyes and met Xu Xinghe's resolute and implicitly worried gaze, the phrase "We'll talk about this topic later" suddenly couldn't be said.

He knew that his little spouse, as the first victim of this incident, needed an explanation.

Ling Changfeng sighed in his heart and compromised again: "Of the three kidnappers at the airport, one was killed on the spot, and two were captured alive. After interrogation, they said they were sent by one of my old enemies... But I think they Not telling the truth, or rather, that's all they know."

Due to some secrets involved, Ling Changfeng did not say everything. One of his so-called old enemies was the original commander of the Capital Star, Admiral Barron Ives.

Eleven months ago, with the great victory in the frontier battlefield, Ling Changfeng officially returned to the capital star, and Admiral Avis was therefore faced with the choice of handing over power. But he has been a local snake for too long, and he does not want to hand over power. bdivr

After going through several open and secret struggles, Ling Changfeng still gave the capital's star army a big change with an iron fist, and Admiral Ives seemed to be dormant just because of this. After all, he has been in such a high position for many years, and he can't catch his obvious mistakes, so Ling Changfeng can't just find an excuse to forcibly transfer him away from the capital star.

The forces of several parties have reached a strange balance in this regard, and they have been in peace with each other for a while.

After learning that Xu Xinghe lost contact, Ling Changfeng didn't think about this possibility.

But such a blatant kidnapping is really not in line with Admiral Avis' always cautious style, not to mention that the two kidnappers who were captured alive confessed so quickly, as if they had prepared a confession early in the morning.

Xu Xinghe asked, "Then how did you find me?"

Ling Changfeng said: "It's thanks to your perseverance in sending out a distress signal. People from the Security Bureau found the suspected kidnapper's abandoned car beside the Z-98 national road, and immediately launched a comprehensive search within a radius of 200 kilometers to retrieve Surrounding surveillance video. Then I received a suspicious report from Gilles Airport, 50 kilometers away. I found the young man you were calling for help at the airport, and I transferred him to my Guard."

Xu Xinghe nodded: "Then I can thank him in person after I am discharged from the hospital."

Ling Changfeng pursed his lips: "His foundation is relatively poor, and he still needs some systematic training. You won't be able to see him in about three months."

Xu Xinghe continued to nod, suddenly remembered another thing, frowned and asked, "Gu Nai... haven't you caught it yet?"

Ling Changfeng shook his head: "No. This person may know more, but he is still at large. I have issued a first-level wanted order, and he is wanted worldwide. The deputy general manager of the personnel department who arranged for him to enter the Ark. , was found dead on the outskirts of Nice just yesterday."

Xu Xinghe was silent, and Gu Nai had not been caught, which made him feel that this matter was not over yet.

Ling Changfeng looked at his twisted hands, and suddenly said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I'll never let you be kidnapped by anyone again."

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and met those deep and quiet eyes.

Ling Changfeng, even without a powerful pheromone by his side, can always give people a sense of security. As if this was his innate ability, without any reason.

Xu Xinghe laughed suddenly, leaned back on the soft cushion, and said "um" in a nasal voice.

Then he asked in a relaxed tone: "What did you just say?"

Ling Changfeng: "..."

For the first time in his life, Marshal Ling realized that he was not very courageous.

For some emotions, it takes enough emotional precipitation and brewing to be able to make a big push and reveal the bottom at the best time. Once interrupted, it is inevitable to be a little discouraged.

After all, it was because he had no confidence in that answer.

Ling Changfeng's eyes drifted out of the window. After the setting sun had disappeared behind the horizon, only the sunset glow reflected the sky.

Then he turned to look at Xu Xinghe, who yawned unconsciously.

This may not be a good time, Ling Changfeng thought, after all, the sun has set.

He calmly sighed in his heart, and covered Xu Xinghe's quilt again: "It's nothing, if you're sleepy, just rest early."

Xu Xinghe looked at him: "How about you? Are you going to be busy?"

Ling Changfeng said, "I'm not busy, I'm here to accompany you."

Xu Xinghe thought, Ling Changfeng tonight was a little too good to talk.

He didn't know if the other party saw his unease. Having just escaped from the kidnappers, he was eager to find someone to accompany him, just like after watching a horror movie, like every night after being drunk.

Xu Xinghe slid into the bed, looked at Ling Changfeng, and smiled like a little fox: "Can you tell bedtime stories?"

Marshal Ling was slightly startled: "Bedtime story?"

"Yeah." Xu Xinghe wrapped himself with the quilt, revealing only a fluffy head, and looked at Ling Changfeng with wide eyes, "Let's talk about it."

Ling Changfeng: "..."

He lived to this age and was never asked to tell a bedtime story.

But he couldn't say "no" to the little spouse in front of him.

He asked Xu Xinghe, "What kind of story do you want to hear?"

Xu Xinghe thought for a while, it seemed a bit too embarrassing for Marshal Ling to tell fairy tales, and he was too old to like listening to stories.

"Why don't you talk about your own experience." Xu Xinghe said.

Ling Changfeng was silent for a while: "In my experience, it seems that there are no interesting stories."

"How come?" Xu Xinghe looked at him, "You are the youngest among the four marshals. Everyone says your experience is legendary."

Ling Changfeng smiled without a trace: "Which part do you want to listen to? I can tell you. But you probably won't like those stories of fighting and killing."

Xu Xinghe tilted his head and said, "I can't tell which part of the story, but I've always been curious about what happened to you to become like this."

Ling Changfeng's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at him sideways: "What did it become?"

"Fearless." Xu Xinghe concluded, "You seem to be not afraid of anything."

When Xu Xinghe said this, he lowered his eyes silently, and suddenly said: "When they fed me sleeping pills, I was actually scared. I was afraid that when I woke up, I would go to a completely unfamiliar place and never return to Xingfu City. , I can't see my familiar face anymore."

Ling Changfeng listened, but fell silent.

Xu Xinghe thought he was thinking of something to comfort him, and was about to say "I'm fine now" when he heard Ling Changfeng say, "I also have something to fear."

"Huh?" As soon as Xu Xinghe heard the interest, he changed to a more comfortable position in the bed and looked up at him, "What are you afraid of?"

Ling Changfeng didn't answer his question directly, but instead asked: "Do you remember there is a scar on my back?"

Thinking of the deep and shallow scars on his back, Xu Xinghe suddenly froze for a moment: "I remember that you have... a lot of scars on your back."

"The longest one of them was left on the 376 battlefield, and it continues from my left shoulder to here." Ling Changfeng pointed to his right waist, and then suddenly told a story, "That is The closest I was to death, the bomb exploded on my side, and the next moment I couldn't hear anything, but I could still feel my body temperature losing rapidly, and my body suddenly became very cold..."

Xu Xinghe couldn't think of any connection between this and his last question, but he was still held his breath by his dangerous experience, and forgot his words for a while.

"But at that time, I didn't feel scared." Ling Changfeng said.

Xu Xinghe sighed softly and asked Ling Changfeng in a low voice, "So, are you born with a lack of fear genes?"

After thinking about it, he denied it himself: "No, didn't you just say that you also have something to fear?"

"Yeah." Ling Changfeng replied softly, then turned to look out the window.

After sunset, the sky is full of bright stars.

The night was just right now.

Perhaps there is no need to deliberately deliberate, he is sincere when facing his every word and every word.

"In the few hours you disappeared, I was very scared." Ling Changfeng said slowly.

Xu Xinghe's brain suddenly couldn't turn around. After a while, he asked dumbly, "Why are you afraid?"

Ling Changfeng turned his head to look at him, silent.

Xu Xinghe swallowed, suddenly feeling nervous for no reason.As soon as I was nervous, I started to talk nonsense: "You are not afraid that the news will spread, and everyone will say that you have a wife? Don't worry, this pot will definitely not be dumped on you..."

Ling Changfeng interrupted him directly: "I am afraid that I will never see you again, that I am afraid of losing you."

Xu Xinghe froze and gave up thinking completely, and still stammered and asked, "Why, why?"

What's the reason for this?

Ling Changfeng looked into his eyes, and Zhen Zhiaizhi was like staring at the entire galaxy: "Because I like you."
