Jiang Si happened to be looking at him as well.

Their eyes met, and they couldn't help but smile.

The road leading to the Fourth Division was renovated two years ago, and the journey has now been shortened to two hours.

The newly built highways are mostly coastal roads, with coconut palms, blue sea and sky all along the way, the scenery is simply breathtaking.

This was an irresistible attraction for the brother and sister who were born on Qiongzhou Island but had never been to the beach.

More than two hours later, the car came to a smooth stop at the back gate of the Fourth Division's family compound.

The reason for not entering through the main gate was based on He Ping's experience.

The visit of Sister-in-law Hu and Sister-in-law Xu to the family compound a few days ago already caused quite a stir. If they knew that their own sister-in-law was also coming, what would they do?

But what He Ping didn't know was that his sisters-in-law had already anticipated his prediction.

The moment the group got off the bus and hadn't even finished collecting their luggage, the women who had been waiting for them suddenly surrounded them from all directions.

This day was spent amidst flowers and various greetings.

As a result, Jiang Si's wish to take a nice stroll around the family compound had to be abandoned.

“We can go now.” Huo Tingzhou suddenly turned over and glanced at the moonlight outside the window. “The moonlight is beautiful tonight.”

"Now?" Jiang Si looked at her with a "Are you kidding me?" expression. It was already almost nine o'clock at night.

But looking into Huo Tingzhou's eyes, she knew he wasn't joking.

For some inexplicable reason, Jiang Si actually agreed.

That evening, the two of them, as always, strolled hand in hand through the family compound for more than an hour by the moonlight.

In recent years, the residential compound has been expanded considerably.

The earliest batch of low-rise courtyards has now been demolished, and many coconut trees have been planted along the roadside.

Unbeknownst to them, the two found themselves near the old house they used to live in.

This house holds so many memories of the two of them, from their first meeting to their growing relationship and companionship. Just standing here for a short while brought back so many images to Jiang Si's mind.

Good, bad, sour, sweet... these things no longer matter.

The important thing is that these beautiful memories shared together have become part of each other's lives and will accompany them throughout their lives.

Knowing that the two children were eager to go beachcombing, after visiting Commander Yao and Political Commissar Li and other senior leaders, the families chose a sunny day to go to the beach.

Blue sky, white clouds, and sandy beach.

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was gentle.

The child was making a fuss, and she was laughing.

Time seemed to have been completely paused at that moment.

Even if they do nothing, just sitting here quietly, listening to the endless sound of the waves and feeling the salty sea breeze on their faces, is a unique experience.

Before we knew it, it was already sunset.

Watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon, Huo Tingzhou suddenly turned to look at Jiang Si, who was leaning on his shoulder.

"Wife, thank you for coming to me, thank you for giving me a home."

He paused, then looked into the distance again. "Thank you for making me look forward to every day from now on."

Jiang Si looked up at him.

It's hard to imagine that someone so restrained and reserved could say such things to her face.

In fact, she should be the one saying thank you.

She hooked her finger around his, just like when they took their wedding photos ten years ago.

"Thank you, Huo Tingzhou."

Thank you for choosing her, believing in her, and loving her unconditionally from beginning to end.

It is precisely because of his unwavering choice that Jiang Si lives such a vibrant, carefree, and happy life.
