But today he left so decisively.

She thought back to the conversation between the two of them just now.

But you don’t think you said anything wrong?

It made him angry.

She shook her head helplessly, thinking he was inexplicable.

Meng Xue lay down but couldn't fall asleep.

She got up, took a foreign language book, sat back in bed and started translating.

Xi Jingchen walked into the yard and did not leave.

Instead, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking while holding it between his fingers.

The tragedy that happened during that mission came to my mind...

They were ambushed while carrying out their mission and almost lost their entire army.

It was he who risked his life to protect them and help them escape from the enemy's encirclement.

And when he found the rescue team and returned to provide support.

He was already dying and surrounded by fire.

His last words were,

"Brother, please help me take care of my mother and the others... help me..."

From then on, this incident became a lifelong pain for him.

Xi Jingchen smoked three cigarettes in a row before he calmed himself down.

I wanted to go back to the house, but I saw that the lights in the house were off.

He sighed, turned and left.

Meng Xue had a good sleep all night.

I woke up feeling refreshed the next day.

She tidied herself and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Xi Jingchen was indeed suffering from insomnia.

He came to the family compound and wanted to make breakfast for Meng Xue.

But when I got home, I saw Meng Xue sitting at the table with her chin resting on her hands.

There were two plates of fried dumplings on the table.

Let him feel that his wife has prepared dinner and is waiting for him to come back.

That feeling is very sweet.

"Xue'er, so early?"

Meng Xue saw Xi Jingchen coming back and stood up.

"Brother Jingchen, I was wondering if I should bring you food if you don't come again?"

Meng Xue waited for Xi Jingchen to walk in, then saw the dark circles under his eyes and frowned.

"Brother Jingchen, you didn't sleep last night?

Dark circles so heavy?

They are all going to become giant pandas. "

Xi Jingchen smiled slightly, "I slept, but I slept a little late!"

Meng Xue nodded.

"Well, come over and eat!

I fried last night's leftover dumplings in lard!

Do you smell it? "

Meng Xue held up a plate of fried dumplings and placed it in front of him for him to smell.

Xi Jingchen looked at the golden fried dumplings in front of him.

Smell the scent coming towards you.

I swallowed unconsciously.

"Mmm, smells good, looks delicious!"

Meng Xue placed the fried dumplings on the table in front of him and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

“Try it!”

Xi Jingchen took the chopsticks and sat down, then smiled at Meng Xue.

"Xue'er, sit down too, let's eat together!"

Meng Xue nodded, "Okay, let's do it together!"

The two smiled at each other, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Xi Jingchen finished eating the fried dumplings and sat quietly for a while.

He saw Meng Xue finish eating the fried dumplings and put down her chopsticks.

He took out a stack of food coupons and more than forty yuan from his pocket and handed them to her.

“Xue’er, there’s a big fair in town today.

You can go with your sisters-in-law.

I feel like there is something missing at home that I can add to it.”

Meng Xue took the food coupons and returned the money to him.

"Brother Jingchen, I'll take the ticket, I still have the money!

When I run out of money, I’ll ask you for more! "

Xi Jingchen nodded.

"Oh well!

I have something else to do today.

Can't accompany you.

Then I will leave first?"

Meng Xue nodded, "Brother Jingchen, go do your thing!

With my sister-in-law and the others here, I can do it!"

Xi Jingchen looked at Meng Xue with some reluctance.

Then he turned and left.
