The south-facing balcony was quite large, so Chen Hong brought out a large fish tank that was one meter wide, two and a half meters long, and one and a half meters high. She connected it to an air pump and put in about ten fresh fish of various kinds.

She crammed every last bit of space into the double-door refrigerator, filling the freezer with all sorts of fish, meat, ribs, shrimp, crab, and seafood.

The refrigerator is stocked with jujube buns, yellow sticky rice cakes, frozen tofu, and various fried foods prepared for the Lunar New Year.

The crisper drawer was filled with all sorts of rare fresh fruits and vegetables. After a careful inspection, I made sure nothing was missing, then I slammed the refrigerator door shut.

Zhou Yi told her not to pick him up from the airport, so Chen Hong took advantage of the free time to prepare the food. She could just stir-fry it when Zhou Yi and Yu Yang came in.

Zhou Yi entered the door at 10:30. When Chen Hong heard the doorbell, she looked up at the wall clock and knew that Zhou Yi had returned.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Yi hugged the woman he had been longing for day and night. "I missed you so much! Chen Hong, I'm back."

Chen Hong was startled by the man's enthusiasm. Feeling guilty, she glanced at the apartment across the hall. Fortunately, the neighbor across the hall had already gone to work, and there was no one else in the hallway except for her and Zhou Yi.

"Let's go inside first, don't rush!"

Chen Hong pulled her hand away, closed the door, broke free from Zhou Yi's embrace, and pulled him into the house to sit on the sofa.

First, I poured Zhou Yi a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Have some water first. Are you tired? Is it easy to get a taxi today?"

Zhou Yi took the teacup with one hand, gulped it down in one go, placed the teacup on the coffee table, and then reached out to hug Chen Hong.

"I'm sorry, I promised to spend the New Year with you, but I always break my promise. Chen Hong, are you upset with me?"

Zhou Yi felt guilty. The changes in his promises were beyond his control! But he felt guilty towards Chen Hong and her son. His repeated broken promises must have disappointed them!

Remembering what Li Guangliang and his comrades had said, Zhou Yi didn't hesitate. He grabbed Chen Hong's head and kissed her red lips.

He originally planned to kiss her for a while, then take out the marriage certificate to show Chen Hong.

But the woman in front of him was poisonous; as they kissed, Zhou Yi lost control of himself.

Desire overwhelmed him like a tidal wave; he reached his left hand under the woman's legs, picked her up, and carried her straight into the bedroom.

"Mmm! I missed you so much, Chen Hong, I really missed you so much!" Zhou Yi murmured, his lips pursed, his whole body burning up.

Chen Hong's face was burning hot from his rubbing, and she was desperately thirsty. She cooperated with his movements, throwing her clothes on the floor one by one.

Suddenly, Chen Hong stopped what she was doing and stared in surprise.

"Stop, Zhou Yi, stop right now!"

While kissing her, Zhou Yi's hands continued their work, pulling down Chen Hong's pants.

At this moment, the woman resembled a delicate white flower, wearing only a black lace bra on her upper body and a small pair of matching triangular panties on her lower body.

Her fair skin and black underwear created a striking visual impact that made Zhou Yi's heart race and his blood boil uncontrollably.

"Give it to me, give it to me, my precious treasure!"

Chen Hong was startled awake and slapped his hand with a loud "smack." Zhou Yi was startled, ignoring the burning pain in his hand.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you? I'm sorry, I was too impatient. Relax, take it easy, we'll take it slowly!" As she spoke, she leaned in again.

Chen Hong was amused by his words: "Take it easy my ass! Zhou Yi, tell me, what's going on here?" She pressed the gauze on Zhou Yi's left chest with her slender fingers.

A piece of gauze, about the size of a palm, was wrapped in several layers and taped back and forth in more than a dozen places.

Blood had already seeped from the edges, tinged with a faint yellowish hue, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol and medicine.

Zhou Yiga calmed down immediately, his hot-bloodedness subsided, and he glanced down at his wound. It was nothing! With a grin, he turned over and sat down next to Chen Hong, pulling the blanket over her fair body.

Carefully avoiding the wound, he reached out and put his arm around Chen Hong, saying casually, "It's nothing, just a minor injury, it's almost healed."

Don't be afraid, this is normal. How many people don't get injured on missions?

These are all minor injuries. If I had come back two days later, the scabs would have fallen off. Look, the wounds are tiny!

Chen Hong glared at him angrily: "Are you kidding me? If the injury were on your arm or leg, even if it were bigger, it wouldn't be a big deal."

But where is this? This is the chest, and four fingers down is the heart!

No matter what hurts you, if it's your heart, even a tiny needle wound, you're long gone!

Zhou Yi chuckled sheepishly, trying to reassure Chen Hong: "It's nothing, really nothing. With my skills, I rarely get injured. This was an accident, a real accident!"

I'll definitely be more careful in the future and won't get injured again! I was careless this time!

Chen Hong was so angry she laughed: "Do you think I'm stupid? You think I'm afraid of getting hurt?"

Is this something you can control? You're lying to me again! Do I think I'm that unreasonable?

You don't even understand why I'm angry! Am I angry because you got hurt? You're in the military; I knew about your job when you were in Shanghai.

I was prepared for you to get hurt! I'm not some clueless little girl. What I'm angry about is why you didn't tell me you were hurt.

"If you're so capable, then don't come back! We've already kept it a secret. Wait until you're completely healed, even the scars have faded, before you come back!"

When Chen Hong saw his injuries, her body trembled, and she felt waves of fear and chills in her heart!

This man barely escaped with his life! Judging from his wounds, they were clearly trying to kill him!

Having lived two lifetimes and fought countless battles, she never knew danger was so close to them!

Chen Hong felt a lump in her throat, her nose stung, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
