After an absence of three months, Qi Taiguo finally returned home. As he opened the door, a fresh floral fragrance hit him. He set down his bag and glanced around. Everything was neat and orderly. Fresh flowers were blooming brightly in a vase on the coffee table.
Three months, yet everything at home felt so familiar and warm, as if he had never left.
Qi Taiguo’s gaze landed on the wall. He walked over and saw a paper calendar, with "Qi Taiguo Homecoming Countdown" written at the top.
The dates on the calendar had been crossed off with red X’s for a whole month.
Qi Taiguo smiled, warmth and a slight ache filling his heart, a sense of unparalleled satisfaction overwhelming him.
It’s often said that home is a haven, offering rest for the soul, warmth for the body and mind, and when tired and weary, coming home makes the weariness disappear.
This saying might sound overly sentimental, but it rings true.
This is his home; she gave it to him.
Attached to the calendar was a note that read: I’ve gone to school. If you’ve returned, wait for me.
A warmth filled Qi Taiguo’s eyes, his grin growing wider. She had such unwavering faith, faith that he would come back safely.
Qi Taiguo thought for a moment, then turned to grab his keys and headed out. Wait for her?
No, he wasn’t willing to. He wanted to see her as soon as possible.
Cheng Su emerged from the computer room of the computer science department, clutching a few books with her bag slung over her shoulder. Her day of classes was over, and she wanted to hurry home.
"Junior sister," Ming Xiaofan called, catching up to her.
Cheng Su sighed with exasperation, pretending not to hear, and quickened her pace toward the school gate.
She was really overwhelmed by Ming Xiaofan’s enthusiasm; his eagerness to learn was sincerely exhausting.
