Some have names on them, but others have blank inscriptions.

It's unclear whether they were people who died while carrying out a hidden mission, or some unsung heroes.

Just as she was quietly placing the flowers, several figures appeared not far away; it was Tian Hou and his companion, along with their guards.

Upon seeing Lin Chuchu and her companion, the group's eyes flashed with surprise, and they walked over to greet her.

"You've come to deliver flowers too? Shall we do it together?"

Researcher Tian still had a loud voice, but compared to his usual unserious manner, he was much more serious.

Researcher Hou didn't say anything, but simply nodded silently to Lin Chuchu as a greeting.

A group of people placed flowers in front of each tombstone. The flowers were just wildflowers from the mountains, not the most beautiful ones, but they were picked from the mountain behind the martyrs' cemetery. It was a way to comfort the martyrs, after all, these were flowers that grew on the land they protected with their lives.

They worked until sunset, then it was time for them to go home for lunch. If the canteen closed, they would only have bread and snacks to eat.

Researcher Tian was skipping and jumping around in front of him, just like a child.

Lin Chuchu asked, rather speechless, "Comrade Hou, how old is Comrade Tian exactly?"

Researcher Hou said with a complicated expression, "Thirty!"

Researcher Hou is younger than Researcher Tian, ​​but when the two stand together, Researcher Tian looks younger.

Lin Chuchu was speechless and rolled her eyes at the sky.

Lin Chuchu was left in the research lab, but she still had to finish her exams. She confirmed the exam dates with her teacher and started buying tickets a few days in advance.

When Lin Chuchu returned, Researcher Tian said goodbye to her with tears in his eyes.

Lin Chuchu thought the other person was reluctant to part with her as a partner, but then the conversation took a turn.

"Remember to bring me some local specialties from Beijing when you come back. I haven't been eating or sleeping well here, and all I can think about is food."

Lin Chuchu was so angry that she almost threw her bag away.

She replied curtly, "Okay, I got it. Don't worry, I won't forget you."

Researcher Hou said "Have a safe trip" from the side, then grabbed Researcher Tian by the collar and dragged him back.

His purpose in being here was to prevent Researcher Tian from sneaking away, since the research had reached a critical juncture.

Lin Chuchu, "..."

I've suddenly become a bit of a shipper for them.
