57: Chapter 57 I Will Only Love You in This Life

Jiang Yishen snorted, "What do you mean by transferring out of the Fire Station?"

He didn't look on purpose; he just happened to see it when he walked over. It wasn't his fault that his eyes were good.

Lu Chengyue didn't say anything, "You'll know tomorrow. Prepare yourself mentally. This matter is huge, and I still haven't fully processed it myself."

When he said that, Jiang Yishen became even more curious, "If you don't tell me now, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

"The Apocalypse is coming." Lu Chengyue said it in a joking manner. Regardless, he had said it; whether he believed it or not was his business, and he couldn't blame him for not warning him later.

Jiang Yishen laughed out loud, "You didn't watch a movie about The Apocalypse with Pretty Miss Xu and get too into it, did you? Hahaha, that's hilarious."

Lu Chengyue rolled his eyes, "Believe it or not."

After saying that, he took his washbasin and towel to wash up, and Jiang Yishen quickly followed.

When they arrived at the washroom, Li Jingran and Meng Chen were also inside. As soon as Jiang Yishen walked in, he started sharing, "Just now, Old Lu said The Apocalypse is coming, hahaha, it's so funny."

Li Jingran and Meng Chen also laughed along, "Must have been watching too many movies!"

Lu Chengyue didn't respond; he had said what needed to be said.

After a while, more and more people were in the washroom. Jiang Yishen and the others told this joke again, and everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Chengyue left after he finished washing. Laugh all you want; you won't be able to laugh tomorrow.

"Assemble!" Early in the morning, after morning exercises, the Station Chief arrived at the training ground with a serious expression, accompanied by the Political Instructor and two Deputy Station Chiefs.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?

"Attention everyone, go to the cafeteria!"

The Political Instructor shouted, and everyone quickly lined up and ran to the cafeteria.

Lu Chengyue ran with the others. The location of the cafeteria was indeed suitable; even if they spoke loudly, people outside wouldn't hear.

"Old Lu, what do you think is going on with the Station Chief and the others being so serious?" Jiang Yishen asked in a whisper.

Lu Chengyue didn't answer, pretending not to hear.

Once all forty members of the station were standing still and the doors and windows of the cafeteria were tightly closed, the Station Chief finally spoke, "Today we received an urgent classified order. The Apocalypse is coming, and our station has been assigned a series of tasks."

After speaking, he paused to give everyone enough time to digest the information.

Jiang Yishen and the others who had been to the washroom last night couldn't help but look at Lu Chengyue in shock. What Old Lu said was actually true!

Lu Chengyue looked straight ahead; he had said it yesterday, after all.

Seeing that everyone had mostly digested the news, the Station Chief continued, "The country has formulated basic guarantees for us, the soldiers who will be fighting on the front lines later."

"Report the addresses of your family members later. The local government will gather and protect them, so we don't have any worries behind us."

"Those who want to return to their hometowns can also do so. We will issue transfer orders for you to return to the Fire Station in your hometown. You have three days to consider it, and the country will cover your travel expenses..."

He spoke in front, and everyone listened in silence, their hearts pounding incessantly.

The Apocalypse, it was actually really coming.

After announcing a series of tasks, the Station Chief finally said, "Of course, it's possible that The Apocalypse won't come, so we don't need to worry too much. Just do what we are supposed to do."

"Alright, come over and register. When you go back, keep your phones on you at all times and stay reachable."

Everyone lined up to register. Jiang Yishen was standing in front of Lu Chengyue, and he leaned back a little, "Old Lu, how did you know?"

Lu Chengyue pushed him back, "We'll talk when we get back to the dormitory."

After everyone finished registering, the Station Chief and Deputy Station Chiefs were gone, leaving only the Political Instructor with them.

"Political Instructor, should we really go home?" Some soldiers from other places were very conflicted.

Jiang Yishen bumped into Lu Chengyue, "Luckily, we are all locals from Jing City, so we don't need to struggle with this."

Li Jingran and the others also gathered around, "Old Lu, how did you know? Did you overhear a phone call?"

Lu Chengyue lowered his head slightly and looked at them, "No, my partner told me."

Jiang Yishen and the others were even more confused; Pretty Miss Xu's background must be quite deep.

Finally, after some discussion, all the comrades from other places chose to leave and return to their hometowns. Regardless, their hometowns were more familiar, and furthermore, their parents were still there; it wasn't realistic to bring everyone over.

The Political Instructor stood in front, his eyes turning red, "Since that's the case, let's consider this breakfast today as a farewell meal for everyone."

Everyone was in a bad mood, and as they ate, they couldn't help but cry.

At Grandpa Zhou's house, Xu Wanning received a bouquet of flowers. Song Yunqing brought it back personally, "Ningning, there are flowers for you."

Xu Wanning took the bouquet. It was a large bunch of champagne roses with thick, rich-layered petals. The 11 flowers were wrapped in plain-colored paper, looking lovely.

She looked for a card but didn't see one, "Who sent these?" Not many people knew this address.

Song Yunqing smiled ambiguously, "Don't worry, Lu Chengyue sent them. He asked Zhiyu to help him order them, and he picked the flowers himself."

Xu Wanning took a photo and sent it to him, [Did you send these?]

Lu Chengyue, who was eating, felt his phone vibrate and quickly took it out. Seeing it was from Xu Wanning, he couldn't help but smile, [Yes.]

[Why did you suddenly send flowers?] She was undoubtedly surprised to receive flowers; she hadn't even thought before that he would do something so romantic.

[I wanted to make you happy. Do you like them?] Since they had already confirmed their relationship, he couldn't be the same as before.

[I like them, but why champagne roses?] Usually, people send red roses, right?

Lu Chengyue's face flushed, [Because the flower language of champagne roses is 'I am devoted to you, and in this life, I only favor you.']

Xu Wanning took out her phone and checked. It was true, [I accept your confession. I am also devoted to you, and in this life, I only favor you.]

She stood in the courtyard holding the flowers. The wind made the petals tremble slightly. She lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers—the scent of sunshine.

She thought she would receive a message full of love from Lu Chengyue, but unexpectedly it was, [Heading out for a call!]

Xu Wanning replied, "Stay safe." She didn't know if he would see it.

She waited anxiously and couldn't even eat. It wasn't until 2:50 PM that she received a reply from Lu Chengyue, [I'm back.]

[Are you hurt?] She was really afraid of him getting hurt.

[No.] Lu Chengyue took off his sweat-soaked clothes and sat on a stool, panting.

[Really?] Xu Wanning was afraid he wasn't telling the truth.

Lu Chengyue wiped the sweat off his face, [Really, just a bit tired.]

Tired, of course he was tired, [Then go to sleep.]

Lu Chengyue was indeed planning to go in and rest for a while, [What about you?]

Xu Wanning checked the time, [I'm going to practice swordsmanship.]

Lu Chengyue stripped off his clothes, feeling lighter, and sat down again, [Stay safe, don't overtrain, your body can't take it.]

Xu Wanning, who was walking out, was shocked, [Huh? How did you know I was overtraining?]

Lu Chengyue chuckled to himself, [Xiao Yu told me.]

Xu Wanning was huffing with anger, [Can you two siblings stop gossiping about me behind my back?]

[No.]

She was even angrier, [Why?]
