After that, none of them spoke again.

The group was not far from their meeting point, about a ten-minute walk. It was also not far from their dormitory, a fifteen-minute walk away.

They followed Guo Tingshuo into the office, where Guo Tingshuo introduced the couple to his colleagues.

Because everyone had given prior notice and agreed to bring Shen Yanming in, they had no objections to Bi Qiaoan, who was heavily pregnant. On the contrary, they invited her to sit down, poured her water, and served her food, being incredibly hospitable.

Because of the preferential treatment everyone gave Bi Qiaoan, Shen Yanming had a good impression of his new colleagues.

He didn't rush into work. Instead, he consciously learned about the background, environment, and experiences of the new environment before asking the old man for advice on how he could help.

Seeing the newcomer's humble attitude, the senior staff in the office were all pleased. They didn't make things difficult for him, simply handing him a few reports and asking him to look at the problems.

Shen Yanming wasn't sure if the other party was testing his work ability, but he smiled and took the document, then looked at it carefully.

However, it wasn't long before several very subtle errors were discovered.

He mentioned it subtly to the person in charge, then sat down and whispered to his wife.

There was nothing Bi Qiaoan could do; she was incredibly bored. She had been sitting there all morning, afraid to move or make a sound, feeling extremely stifled.

Although everyone was very enthusiastic towards her at first, she became very serious once she got into work mode.

I don't know if they're really busy, but the whole office is very quiet, the kind where no one is talking.

She was left alone at work, sitting there blankly, not even daring to take out her phone; she was almost in tears.

Because of this, Bi Qiaoan was starting to regret changing jobs. Otherwise, they could just do whatever they wanted now, as long as they completed their own tasks.

Shen Yanming noticed that something was off about her mood, which is why he asked her. However, since the office was too quiet, he could only whisper in her ear.

Bi Qiaoan didn't dare to express her feelings, fearing that others would have a problem with Shen Yanming if they heard her. She could only force a smile and say that she was fine.

Shen Yanming was worried, but he couldn't say it directly. He wanted to ask for leave, but Bi Qiaoan stopped him.

Their interaction didn't escape the furtive glances from those who were sneaking peeks. Noticing that the two weren't quite right, everyone quickly asked, "What's wrong with you two? Is Qiao An feeling unwell?"

"No, no, I'm fine!" Qiao An hurriedly shook her head, not wanting anyone to misunderstand, so she could only tell the truth: "It's just that I'm not quite used to it yet."

"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Tell us!" someone teased.

Bi Qiaoan was embarrassed; her face flushed red, and she dared not look directly at everyone. Shen Yanming patted her hand and said, "It's okay, just say what's on your mind. I want to know too."

Seeing that she couldn't escape it, she could only praise, "Your place is very high-end, and everyone works seriously and diligently without any slackness. As for me, I guess I'm used to being lazy and don't really adapt to this kind of work atmosphere."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Seeing her confusion, someone explained, "The beginning and end of the month are the busiest times. We had a holiday a couple of days ago, and there was a lot of work left undone. We planned to finish it as soon as possible so we could relax a bit. We didn't expect you to misunderstand."

"Actually, our office is quite relaxed and pleasant. We're just being serious because we're afraid of leaving you two with a bad impression of being undisciplined."

"Yes, yes, I haven't spoken a word all morning, I'm so bored."

"Hahaha!"

Bi Qiaoan was completely taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, leaving even Shen Yanming bewildered.

He thought the guard team had a serious and dedicated work atmosphere, but he didn't expect his colleagues to be so lively.

However, it did give the two of them a huge sigh of relief.

Once things were out in the open, everyone relaxed and started talking and working as usual, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Bi Qiaoan didn't make a fuss about doing anything. She took out her phone, plugged in her earphones, and started reading a novel that had just finished before the apocalypse while listening to music.

Seeing this, Shen Yanming finally felt relieved, but this matter still left a mark on his heart.

In the long run, joining the guard team is indeed a good thing, but he didn't consider his wife's adaptability.

Since their rebirth, the two have been inseparable, and their previous jobs have been extremely flexible, requiring very little effort from them.

But now, the work of the guard team is clearly not so easy. Moreover, the two of them are indeed finding it difficult to adjust to being separated all of a sudden.

Moreover, this situation can't be resolved in a day or two; it may continue until the child starts school, requiring at least one of them to be with the child around the clock—eating, chatting, playing, and growing alongside them.

The sacrifice was considerable.

Perhaps, if I hadn't gotten pregnant, I wouldn't have these worries.

Although Bi Qiaoan was playing on her phone, she would occasionally glance at Shen Yanming.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he was frowning, seemingly lost in thought.

Her intuition told her it was related to her, so she quickly grabbed his hand and mouthed, "I'm fine!"

Shen Yanming snapped out of his daze and nodded with a forced smile.

Bi Qiaoan wanted to say something more, but remembering the scene that had just unfolded, she gave up. She figured it would be the same to talk about it when she got home.

At noon, the two did not go to the restaurant for lunch, but went back to their dormitory to cook for themselves.

The guard team's working hours are different from those of their previous unit. Here, they work from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, for a total of six hours a day.

However, don't think it's over in six hours.

In addition to the evening training from 7 pm to 9 pm that Li Gangtie mentioned, there is also morning training from 6 am to 8 am, which is not required.

If you participate in both morning and evening training sessions, you'll have to "work" for at least ten hours a day.

Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan, and they returned to the dormitory after about fifteen minutes.

Instead of eating, they discussed the issues raised in the morning in more detail.

Shen Yanming admitted that he regretted letting Bi Qiaoan get pregnant so early, and that his transfer to the guard team was somewhat ill-considered.

But Bi Qiaoan didn't think so. She felt that having a child was inevitable, and since she was pregnant, it must be fate.

Moreover, being transferred to the guard team is a good thing; it's just that she's not used to it, and Shen Yanming doesn't need to take responsibility for it himself.

Both of them were reflecting on their own actions, without blaming the other at all. Instead, they comforted each other, feeling that the other had already been good enough.

"In that case, try your best to overcome it and become a better person," Bi Qiaoan comforted her, as if making a promise.

Shen Yanming nodded. "Don't worry, I'll try to get a transfer when the child is a bit older. Then we'll still be in the same office and sitting at the same desk."

Bi Qiaoan was amused and grabbed Shen Yanming's cheek, asking, "Why don't I change my job and completely let go of those pills?"

Shen Yanming hugged her and laughed, "Do you think that's possible?"
