Yu Mingyi had one foot in the car already.

"Uncle!"

Yu Mingyi paused, & the secretary who came with him looked puzzled at the girl who was running towards them. Just as he was about to ask who she was, Yu Mingyi raised his head to stop him & stood still.

Dong Yi came over, panting heavily. Seeing that he hadn't left yet, her expressionless little face lit up with joy.

The sun was bright, & she had been chasing him all the way, her camouflage clothes soaked in sweat.

"Uncle, I am, I am that-" her breath was unsteady from running, & her face was flushed.

At 1st glance, Yu Mingyi thought she looked familiar but wasn't sure.

But when he heard her call him uncle, those dusty memories came back to him.

Yu Mingyi was a pilot. When he was still in flight school, he had spent a long time flying under the supervision of an instructor. At the age of 18, he accompanied the instructor on his 1st major mission in life rescuing people in a mountainous area struck by mudslides caused by torrential rain.

At that time, Yu Mingyi was still a rookie, flying a helicopter modified from a Dolphin. Many other national defense students like him had joined the mission. Although he later undertook many more significant tasks, he would always remember the excitement of his 1st time.

He would never know how cruel a disaster could be until he saw it for himself. The destroyed village was submerged, & he saw a young girl wearing ethnic minority clothes, just a few years old, sitting on the roof with a lost expression on her face.

The mountainous area they went to was inhabited by ethnic minorities, & it happened to be during a festival. The children were all wearing traditional, brightly colored clothes, but this girl's clothing was dirty from the mud, & she sat in despair on the roof, watching her disappearing home with desolation in her eyes.

All her family was gone. Only a few years old, she had already witnessed life & death.

Only half of the village's people survived. The rescue conditions at that time were terrible, & the wind was strong, making it very dangerous for helicopters to fly. Yu Mingyi persuaded the instructor to fly there with him, where Mingyi lowered a rope & carried the girl up to the helicopter. It was the warmth in his arms that gave the girl hope to live.

It could be said that this child's life was saved by Yu Mingyi & his instructor.

"Are u Dong Yi?"

This name, Yu Mingyi had always remembered. The surname Dong is rare, & when he held the child on the helicopter, she remained expressionless for a long time. Her 1st words were, "They are all dead."

The child made a deep impression on Yu Mingyi.

Her desperate eyes & the devastated homeland she was in stayed in Yu Mingyi's heart. It was the 1st time that this child made him understand what it meant to have a mission.

Hearing him call her name, Dong Yi's tears circled her eyes. The reason she thought Chen Xiaoqian's boyfriend looked familiar was that Yu Minglang looked so much like the uncle in her memories!

"Uncle, I am Dong Yi, I am the Dong Yi u saved!" she cried as she spoke.

If it weren't for this uncle, she would have died with her parents in that terrifying disaster.

In her dreams, she often returned to that injured homeland. Dad & Mom threw her onto the roof, & then they were submerged...

And this uncle, who descended from the sky, became her only salvation.
