Jin Long nodded, not denying the fact that Su Shen had indeed become an exemplary husband. He had never imagined that Su Shen could be so caring. Was it not just a power outage? Yet, Su Shen felt the need to rush home to check on his wife.

Jin Long, a bachelor himself, couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. However, he quickly turned the conversation around, boasting, “Aunt Zhang, I must say, if I had a wife, I would be even more considerate than him!”

Aunt Zhang lifted her kerosene lamp, craning her neck to get a better look at him. “Well, I never really noticed before, but you’re quite handsome, young man. I must say, that young lady who came from the city for Gu Zi’s wedding was quite charming. But I heard from Gu Zi that she’s from a high-ranking official’s family. If you were to have a chance with her, you’d be quite fortunate.”

Upon hearing Aunt Zhang mention that girl, Jin Long’s ears turned red. He rubbed his ears, trying to hide his embarrassment. “Aunt Zhang, are you talking about Gong Xin, the daughter of Commander Gong from the city? She and I are good friends. What kind of person do you take me for, to have designs on a friend?”

Jin Long’s ears reddened again, and he couldn’t help but laugh. When he mentioned the young lady, he even casually mentioned her family background. Aunt Zhang, being an old hand at reading people, could easily see Jin Long’s shyness and care for Gong Xin. She didn’t want to burst his bubble.

Aunt Zhang shook her head, muttering to herself as she walked towards her home, “Look at him, his ears are as red as a cooked shrimp. He thinks he’s hiding it well, how amusing…”

Jin Long watched Aunt Zhang’s retreating figure, scratching his head in confusion. He thought he had concealed his feelings well, hadn’t he?

Inside the house, it was pitch black. Su Shen used a flashlight to navigate upstairs. He gently pushed open the master bedroom door. The room was quiet. On the bed, Gu Zi was sleeping soundly, her long hair spread out on the pillow. Her sleeping face was peaceful. Beside her was little Su Le, sleeping on his side facing his mother, his small hand clutching a lock of her hair. He seemed to be sleeping very peacefully.

Only then did Su Shen feel relieved. It seemed they had fallen asleep before the power outage. He was glad she hadn’t been frightened.

Not wanting to wake her, Su Shen restrained himself from kissing her. Before leaving the room, he left the flashlight by Gu Zi’s pillow.
