Sensing Mu Chen's low spirits, Lin Chuchu held his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my family."

The only person who could evoke such emotions in Mu Chen was his deceased grandfather. Lin Chuchu felt bad too and whispered words of comfort.

“When my grandfather passed away, he had already guessed that you were an undercover agent. I also told him that you were an undercover agent, so he wasn’t too disappointed or regretful.”

Mu Chen blinked, trying to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes, but his chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, a sour and astringent feeling.

He put his arm around Lin Chuchu's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

After a long silence, Lin Chuchu suddenly smiled and said, "You should really worry about yourself. Your parents said they're going to give you a good beating."

Mu Chen's smile froze on his face, and his hand trembled slightly.

At the same time, he kept reassuring himself, "It's just a beating, right? I can take it."

Even though I tried to comfort myself with that thought, I still shivered.

His dad wouldn't really hit him; he'd just aim for the fleshy parts of his buttocks and thighs. But his mom was different; she'd hit him wherever it hurt.

That's it, he doesn't want to go home anymore, he wants to escape~

Lin Chuchu was unaware of Mu Chen's thoughts. She had been exhausted for too long, and the constant fear of traversing the forest made her feel utterly drained. She fell asleep almost immediately.

Mu Chen looked at her quietly, feeling incredibly peaceful.

"Comrade Mu, you should get some sleep too. It'll be a long time before we get to the airport!"

The location was already remote, and there was no airport nearby, so they planned to drive directly to the airport.

Mu Chen smiled and shook his head, "I'm not sleepy yet, I'll sleep later."

For a year, he had never felt so at ease, with his loved ones by his side and his comrades protecting him, without worrying about the danger of being exposed at any time.

The car returned to silence, and Lin Chuchu was woken up before getting out.

It was already dark when I arrived at the airport.

The group ate something at the airport and then waited.

Mu Chen stared longingly at Lin Chuchu, who rolled her eyes at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

There was no one around, and everyone else consciously kept their distance from the couple.

Mu Chen took her hand again. Lin Chuchu noticed that Mu Chen was particularly clingy to her this time. She wanted to be reserved, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her. Being by Mu Chen's side gave Lin Chuchu a sense of satisfaction.

The next morning, after the plane landed, Lin Chuchu saw the bureau chief standing in the crowd.

The police uniforms were so eye-catching that everyone around them stared at the officers with curiosity.

One of them was carrying a police uniform and hat. Mu Chen immediately stepped forward and saluted the chief.

"Chief, Mu Chen is back in the team!"

The bureau chief chuckled and patted him on the back. "Good lad, not bad, you're finally back safe and sound."

"How are you? Are there any problems with your injuries?"

Mu Chen patted his chest and said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Director, I'm fine now."

Lin Chuchu stood at the back, watching the group exchange pleasantries.

The police officer holding the uniform handed the clothes to Mu Chen, and the chief said with a smile, "Go and change. From now on, you are a police officer, and you no longer need to hide your identity."

Lin Chuchu watched with a tense expression as Mu Chen went to the bathroom to change his clothes, and then saw him come out in a police uniform.

He walked towards Lin Chuchu step by step.

At this moment, Lin Chuchu's eyes were only on Mu Chen, and Mu Chen also looked down at his whole world.

Is it pretty?

Mu Chen asked in a hoarse voice.

At the same time, an announcement came over the loudspeaker at the airport, and Lin Chuchu snapped back to reality.

She coughed awkwardly, but couldn't hide the shy blush on her face.

Everyone around them stared at the two with curiosity. The director and the others had left sometime earlier, and Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen were the most eye-catching people in the entire airport.

Lin Chuchu pulled the person out, and only after getting away from everyone's gaze did Lin Chuchu breathe a sigh of relief.

Do you need to go to the police station?

Mu Chen shook his head. "No need. The director said he'd give me seven days off and let me go back wearing this outfit."

During his absence, rumors about him spread, putting immense pressure on his family. Therefore, he wanted to wear this outfit to prove his identity and tell those people that he, Mu Chen, was not a traitor.

Lin Chuchu nodded, and the two walked towards Mother Mu's shop. At first, she didn't think anything of it, but when the people around her looked at her with surprise, Lin Chuchu realized that something was wrong.

Standing next to a police officer, one can't help but wonder, "Could this person be a criminal? Is the police taking people to identify the crime scene?"

Under immense pressure, Lin Chuchu ultimately fled.

"Well, I'll go buy some soda and ice cream. You can go to the shop yourself."

Without waiting for Mu Chen to speak, she immediately ran away.

Mu Chen seemed to see the undisguised disdain in Lin Chuchu's eyes.

He's only been back for a day, is it really necessary to be so disgusted with him?

What he didn't know was that this was only the first time Lin Chuchu had rejected him.

When he arrived at the shop, the customers inside were so frightened by Mu Chen's clothes that they dropped their clothes and ran outside, thinking the shop was some kind of criminal den.

Then he stood outside the door, peering inside to watch the commotion.

Just moments ago, Mu's mother was introducing the clothes, but in the blink of an eye, she saw the person disappear.

"Huh? Where is everyone?"

Mother Mu looked around curiously.

"mom……"

A familiar voice came from inside, making her freeze in place.

Turning around abruptly, I saw Mu Chen's familiar face.
