Hearing what Xu Qianli said, Liu Xinlan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Qianli and said, "Qianli, if you want to go, then go."

Xu Qianli put down his chopsticks and the chicken wings in his hand.

After wiping the oil off his hands, he took Liu Xinlan's hand.

Liu Xinlan glanced at Xu Qianli's hand, then looked up at him, wanting to know what he really wanted to say.

"Xinlan, actually, I did think about going before this."

Liu Xinlan looked calmly at Xu Qianli.

“But I’ve changed my mind now. You’re pregnant, and the organization doesn’t want me to go either, so I want to stay.” Xu Qianli continued earnestly, “You need someone to take care of you while you’re pregnant. You’ve changed a lot since you lost your job. It was my fault, Xinlan, I’m sorry.”

Liu Xinlan looked at Xu Qianli and said this.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt wronged.

She put down her chopsticks and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Xinlan, I won't leave you. I'll always be by your side. If I do anything wrong, you have to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself, and don't make me guess. I really can't figure out if I'm wrong."

Xu Qianli hurriedly explained, reaching out to wipe away the tears from Liu Xinlan's eyes.

“Xinlan, I’ve never been angry because you asked me to take back my application and not go to the border. It’s because we both had our own jobs before, and we only saw each other in the evenings. That’s how we avoided many things from happening. Now it’s different. You wait for me here every day after get off work, but sometimes I really do get off work very late. It’s not that I don’t want to come back! Sometimes… because I’m already very late after I finish work, I don’t want to come back and disturb you, so I sleep in the barracks.”
