Chapter 260: Qinghao Walked For 20 Kilometres To Find A Signal (Part 1)

Fang Xinxin entered her dorm room. On each side of the room, a study table was placed by the wall. Also, there were two bunk beds built with yellow wood.

Fang Xinxin’s bed was located on the lower side of the left bunk bed. Her roommates included Weng Jingke, Sun Jiamu, and Wu Jiatong.

Weng Jingke had already dropped out of school and her bed was currently unused.

The other two roommates had yet to return.

Fang Xinxin laid down on her bed and opened WeChat. Then, she patiently waited.

Often enough, Bai Qinghao would make video calls to talk to her.

Whatever Fang Manxue previously spoke about him ignoring her for more than ten days was false.

She missed Bai Qinghao terribly. However, his identity was special and he was often away for missions. It wasn’t always convenient for her to call him.

If, by accident, she called him while he was in the midst of a dangerous operation and caused his location to be revealed, it would become a serious problem.

Thus, she was fearful of disturbing him and would only wait obediently for him to contact her.

Several days ago, he had called her at 6.10p.m.. Perhaps he would do the same today?

She looked at the time on her phone. It was three seconds away.

She silently counted down. Three, two, one…

As expected, she received a call notification from Bai Qinghao on WeChat.

Her ringtone only lasted for a second before she answered the call. She absorbed Bai Qinghao’s appearance on the phone greedily.

His cold, stern expression appeared exhausted, but his gaze was as spirited as every.

His skin had turned tan, but it was not unflattering. Instead, it added to his mature, resilient charisma.

He seemed to be standing in a forest located in the mountains?

Fang Xinxin glanced at the trees behind him. Those were… unique trees that could only be found in the border areas.

Why was he there? Since he did not mention it himself, Fang Xinxin would not ask.

Bai Qinghao stared at Fang Xinxin through the call. He smiled a little. “You answered the call so quickly. Did you miss me that much?”

As if. She originally wanted to banter with him.

However, she took in his exhausted appearance. His eyes were bloodshot and it had likely been days since he last slept.

Furthermore, she could tell that his clothes were covered in grass and mud…

Despite his usual mysophobia, when he had to be sent out for missions, he did not mind the dirt.

It was only that he absolutely would not make things difficult for himself unless he needed to.

She watched him with heartache and nodded slightly. “En.”

Bai Qinghao had thought that she would refute his words. He did not expect her to outrightly admit it. For a moment, he was dumbstruck.

Joy slowly spread through the depths of his frozen heart and melted the ice that had been there for years.

This time, he was setting up a hidden signal station in the borders. He had planned the operation carefully and even personally brought a team into the uninhabited, old forest in the mountains.

On one hand, he aimed to figure out the situation here. On the other hand, he was looking for a suitable location to set up the signal station.

In an uninhabited forest like this, there were leopards, swamps, and various types of snakes, worms and poisonous ants, etc.

The food he ate were all specially produced rations. The water he drank was obtained from the water sources that they found last minute, or the dew water which was collected.

At night, he relied on the sky as a blanket, and the ground as bed.

The environment was extremely harsh. At times, he had to face life-threatening dangers.

It had been days. His entire team was exhausted. After the long journey on foot, their feet were covered in blisters.

But he had no choice. Only the Bai family were suited to manage this matter. The signal station was meant to receive top secret matters. He needed to personally lead the team to set this up.
