Qi Taiguo returned home after 10 PM, finding the living room still brightly lit. Cheng Su hadn’t gone to bed yet, and was engrossed in reading a reference book; seeing him return, she put the book down and came to greet him.
Before she even came close, she caught the scent of alcohol and asked, "You’ve been drinking today? What kind of welcome party was it?"
As he took off his uniform, Qi Taiguo replied, "Those military doctors and nurses who were assigned to the grass-roots units reported for duty today, so we threw a welcome party. I just had a couple of small drinks to join in the fun. Didn’t your sister tell you?"
"She mentioned you had some welcome party but didn’t go into detail," Cheng Su said.
Qi Taiguo uttered an "oh" and, looking at her face, leaned in closer, only to be stopped by Cheng Su’s hand. She reprimanded him, "Be careful, Mom and your sister might come out."
His mood was instantly dampened and he clicked his tongue, "I’ll go take a shower."
Cheng Su nodded, and once he was in the bathroom, she picked up the uniform he had left on the back of the chair. Her nose twitched, her brows furrowing.
There was the scent of perfume on this uniform!
Cheng Su glanced toward the bathroom, placed the uniform in the basin, and sat down leisurely on the sofa to wait.
Qi Taiguo was quick in the shower and soon came out, seeing her still reading, he said, "The weather’s getting cooler now. Go to bed early and don’t catch cold!"
"Come here!" Cheng Su patted the space beside her on the sofa.
Qi Taiguo walked over and sat down, wrapping his long arm around her and joking, "What is it, did you miss me?"
Ever since his mother and sister arrived, they had given up their room, and Cheng Su was sleeping on the bivouac in the guest room. The bivouac was quite small and could not accommodate two, so Qi Taiguo had been sleeping on the sofa, resulting in a long time without intimacy between them.
"Stop it!" Cheng Su glared at him in feigned anger.
"You might not miss me, but I sure miss you!" Qi Taiguo whispered tantalizingly into her ear.
Tickled by his words, Cheng Su felt her body warming up and pushed him away, saying, "Be serious, I am trying to talk to you!"
"Go on then!" Qi Taiguo leaned against her, his hand slipping under her pajamas and caressing her waist.
