Chapter 394: Chapter 420: On a Mission
Sun Chan was busy preparing for the wedding. Right until the day before the wedding, Gu Junming invited Sun
Chan for a meal, and after hesitating for half a day, he finally spoke his mind. He even dared not look into Sun
Chan's eyes.
Who knew Sun Chan would only be silent for a moment before saying, "Then let’s leave it. Wait until you have a
break to go out, but when will you be back?"
"Hmm, when the flood season ends, maybe end of August."
Sun Chan smiled, "Good, Ill still be on summer vacation. We can have stto play then."
Gu Junming held her hand, "I'm sorry, | really just..."
"I don’t blyou. You're a soldier; it's your duty. Your matters are of great importance; | wouldn't say
anything." Sun Chan comforted him instead, "Just be very careful! Water and fire are ruthless; don’t be too
impulsive when doing things. It’s most important to protect yourself."
Gu Junming smiled, "I understand. | will be careful for you too, wait for my return."
Sun Chan was actually worried sick; water and fire are ruthless, not to mention floods! Just a small mistake and
one could be swept away, losing life, leading to misfortune.
Gu Junming said, "I'm already married, | won't be so reckless."
Sun Chan responded with a "Hmm" and leaned against him.
She recalled her past life, when she was twenty, there indeed was a flood disaster. That year, there was a lot of
rain, floods everywhere. Her village had higher ground, so it wasn’t serious. But other villages were completely
submerged, crop fields bore no harvest, and svillagers refused to leave, hiding and resisting evacuation,
eventually drowning inside.
The broadcast was filled with stories of many soldiers fighting floods and rescuing, sacrificing many lives. Later,
a flood prevention memorial tower was built by the river bank.
Thinking of these things made her shiver: "Gu Junming, please be very careful. Don’t makeworry about you."
"I understand." Gu Junming patted her back, "Let's not think about these. It might turn out well, | could even be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtback by June. There's never been such a big flood here anyway."
"We can’t be too optimistic; this flood might be very dangerous. For instance, in our low-lying areas, Red Village,
and Er Dong Village's farmland could be at risk. Nearby villages may lose water and power, embankments could
collapse, people must be moved out first. You need to be prepared with sandbags, and medicine. Oh, and there
might be two collapse moments; don’t think of rescuing when the water recedes." Recalling her past life, the
severity wasn’t predicted, costing many lives.
It was said that the people at the twere reluctant to leave. Seeing the water gone, many villagers thought it
was fine and went to roads to pick mud surfaces, even finding fish. Who knew not long after descending, the
second flood came, sweeping them away. Many soldiers sacrificed themselves to save them, as the villagers
narrated.
Gu Junming froze: "How do you know these? Will the dam really collapse?"
Sun Chan's mind raced, quickly saying, "It’s what I've heard from villagers when | was little. Those villages are
prone to flooding; | imagine towns here are similar, must be tougher on evacuating folks to avoid big incidents. |
think this is similar to that case back then."
Gu Junming said, "I got it, I'll pay attention."
Because of this matter, the two didn’t feel the joy of getting married; after leaving Sun Chan's side, Gu Junming
returned to his dormitory, took out nearby area maps, viewed them carefully, feeling cold sweat on his back.
What Sun Chan mentioned was possible, precautions were necessary.
He took out pen and paper, wrote down sthoughts, applied for many speedboats, and food and medicine,
also sandbags. Preparations had to begin upon arrival, downstream people must swiftly evacuate.
He finished writing a draft until dawn and went to sleep.
The next day, he was awakened by colleagues. Someone directly pulled off his blanket.
"The groom is still sleeping? Hurry up, you're getting married today and sleeping so soundly?"
"Yes, wake up!"
Gu Junming smiled, sat up, glanced at his watch, not yet seven o'clock, first went to the cafeteria for breakfast,
then departed robustly with the team to fetch the bride.
Sun Chan was pulled up around five in the morning to get makeup and hair done. A crowd surrounded her,
Guihua laughingly chatting with people outside, discussing how to tease Gu Junming.
Zhao Jieyun arrived early, helping her daughter change clothes. Seeing her youngest in red wedding garb, she
nodded contentedly, her eyes moist: "Finally grown up. Mom never managed you well, it's mom’s fault, don’t
blme."
"Mom, don’t say that, you've treatedvery well. I'll live well, you relax." Sun Chan smiled.
Zhao Jieyun nodded, put a thin, shiny gold bracelet on Sun Chan's wrist, hanging several small gourds, very
beautiful.
Sun Chan quickly said, "Mom, | bought gold jewelry."
"It's mom's token. | know you're not fond of gold jewelry. But this one’s delicate, you might like it. Wear it."
Sun Chan smiled and nodded, lifted her hand to look, indeed quite pretty.
Zhao Jieyun sighed; she bought two identical gold bracelets, one was for Yang Yun, prepared for her wedding, but
now it seems uncertain when Yang Yun would marry.
At that moment, Yang Yun was

"Fine, continue sleeping, I'll go by myself."

her clothes. She still had plans today;

Yang Dongfeng frowned: "Are we ordinary wedding guests? We are family! Where are relatives going this late?
And, what did you prepare for your sister?"
"Why should | prepare anything for her?" Yang Yun was very annoyed, she simply had no money, how could she
prepare anything?
