Cheng Su and another hand in hand returned home, coming face to face with Chunhua. Seeing their tightly clasped hands, Chunhua couldn’t help but smile ambiguously while also letting out a sigh of relief.
Yet, Chunhua did know where Cheng Su had gone on her business trip. Thinking of the reports she had seen over the past few days, she couldn’t help asking her if she had been at the epicenter.
Cheng Su didn’t want to talk much about her experiences over those days and didn’t want Chunhua to worry, so she casually mentioned that everything was safe.
Seeing that Cheng Su didn’t want to elaborate and that she was safe, Chunhua knew better than to pry further. Instead, she curiously asked her how she ended up together with Commander Qi.
Cheng Su’s face showed a tender smile as she said, "Oh, him? He became an undercover agent."
"Ah?" Chunhua was completely puzzled.
"Anyway, that’s how it is." Cheng Su pinched Yuer’s little chubby cheek and said, "I should freshen up first; the train ride was tiring."
Chunhua sounded an "Oh" and couldn’t help but wonder to herself—what had happened to Cheng Su that she seemed like a different person after this trip?
When Taiguo returned, he first went to the military base to report back and end his leave. Before leaving the house, he said to Cheng Su, "Let’s wait for me to come home before cooking dinner, you should rest a bit!"
Cheng Su agreed, but as soon as he left, she briskly washed a rag and wiped down everything inside and outside the house, putting things in order and doing the laundry where necessary.
She had also moved Taiguo’s bedding back to the main bedroom and changed to a new set of covers. Looking at the neatly made bed, her heart softened.
As long as they were both alive and by each other’s side, what hurdle couldn’t they overcome?
After tidying up the room, Cheng Su took another look around. There wasn’t much food at home, just eggs, so she took her market basket and went out to buy groceries, leaving a note for him in passing.
