"We don't want to live in the same tent with you! Go live somewhere else!"

Zhu Qinghan picked up her clothes. Everyone thought she would leave, but she did the opposite.

"Why should I leave the tent? If anyone is to blame, it should be you two!"

She suddenly hardened up.

The other educated youth felt that they were meddling in other people's business and dispersed.

…

It was already getting late, and the people who were repairing the dam had indeed returned, and Luo Yisen had already returned to the Luo family.

But Wei Yanzhen hasn't come back yet.

In the alley in front of the Wei family’s house, there were two people carrying small stools and sitting at the door.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we go back to the house and sleep? My brother may not be back until late."

"Captain Luo said that my brother would stay at the Youth League Center to deal with the aftermath."

Deng Zhilan watched as the oil in the kerosene lamp burned out for more than half and the flame gradually became weaker.

Besides, she really needs to rest since she is pregnant.

"Yes..."

Just as she stood up, a tall and slender dark figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, which stunned Deng Zhilan for a moment.

"Yan Zhen, is that you?"

"It's me."

Wei Yanzhen's voice was low and familiar, with a hint of fatigue.

However, his emotions were very high.

He quickened his pace and walked up to the two of them. When he saw his sister sitting on a small stool and his wife standing, his eyes were full of heartache.

"It's so late, why are you still waiting for me outside?"

Deng Zhilan's eyes welled up and she stepped forward to hold his hand. She found that the man's clothes were torn, his trouser legs were covered with mud, and his arms were covered with mottled red marks. She felt distressed.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get in when you come back."

Wei Yanzhen patted her hand gently, "I'm fine, I've dealt with most of it. But you, you're pregnant, don't wait outside for so long in the future."

Wei Yanzhen's sister also stood up, "Brother, you're back. Sister-in-law has been missing you all the time."

Wei Yanzhen looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Thank you for accompanying your sister-in-law."

Then, the three of them went into the house together.

After Wei Yanzhen washed up, he sat at the table and briefly told Wei Xiaotian about the situation at the educated youth site.

After everything was settled, Qin Ping, Wei Xiaotian and Wei Jinyue went back to their rooms on their own accord.

Deng Zhilan leaned in Wei Yanzhen's arms, feeling his body temperature, and her heart finally settled down.

"They all came back, but you didn't."

"I was mentally prepared if something really happened to you. Fortunately... Fortunately, you came back safely."

Wei Yanzhen felt that even if they were together, it couldn't fill the emptiness in his heart, so he held Deng Zhilan on his lap and kissed her forehead gently.

"I'm fine. I'm really fine."

He had been on missions more dangerous than repairing dams in the past, but never once had Deng Zhilan worried about him like this.

I will also go to find him and run to him halfway.

"Even if something happens in the future, your parents will take care of you. I'll leave all my property to you. I've already written a suicide note a long time ago..."

Deng Zhilan's hand touched his thin lips, and she shook her head, signaling him not to continue.

Wei Yanzhen chuckled, his chest vibrating muffledly, and Deng Zhilan could hear the thumping of his heartbeat.

"I won't say anything more."

He stood up and held Princess Deng Zhilan in his arms.

The height suddenly increased, and Deng Zhilan was so frightened that she immediately wrapped her arms around Wei Yanzhen's neck, and heard him continue:

"When I was washing my face just now, I asked my mother -"
