By the time Lin Chuchu found out, the matter had already been settled.

It was someone from above who came specifically to tell Lin Chuchu.

After all, it was Lin Chuchu who made the decision to repatriate the orphans.

Lin Chuchu was surprised by how quickly things had progressed and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Okay, I understand."

She could guess what those orphans would encounter after returning home.

It's like when a CEO's father finally dies, but then news suddenly spreads that an illegitimate child is trying to take over his inheritance. He definitely won't care about the illegitimate child; he'd rather the illegitimate child be dead.

As for Japan, it's pretty much the same. But since we're already here, and everyone's short-handed, let's just use them as slaves!

Lin Chuchu wasn't a malicious person, but she didn't sympathize with those people because they weren't good people.

He's a thief and a scoundrel, always dreaming of being taken in by some special organization and becoming a Japanese spy in China, so he can make a name for himself and serve his country—of course, serve Japan.

The higher-ups wanted to keep this a secret, so Lin Chuchu naturally wouldn't say anything.

However, people could still tell that she was in a good mood.

Du Lingling, heavily pregnant, walked up to Lin Chuchu and asked, "What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

"No, I called home today and we had a nice chat."

That's the truth. There's good news at home today too. Mu Chen got promoted. Thanks to the merits he accumulated from the last incident, plus the joint efforts of the military and police, they wiped out a human trafficking gang.

With a promotion, one's salary naturally increases.

Mu Chen couldn't help but share the good news with Lin Chuchu.

Lin Chuchu was naturally happy for him.

Lin Chuchu and the others were going to the cafeteria later. Du Lingling was on vacation, so she came to find Researcher Tian.

Upon seeing Lin Chuchu, he disregarded Researcher Tian behind him.

Researcher Tian looked at the two people with a pitiful expression. Oh, no, Song Luobai was with them.

"Look at her, they say three women make a drama, and she doesn't care about me at all."

Researcher Hou rolled his eyes. "You're still better than me, at least you can see your wife and kids when you get home at night."

Researcher Hou looked frustrated. Although his partner was also at the same base, they weren't in the same system, so they couldn't see each other often. He could only go back to visit her during his monthly leave.

He thought it was good that Du Lingling had a good friend like Lin Chuchu, unlike his girlfriend's friends who were always stirring up trouble.

He doesn't care enough about his partner, leaving his pregnant partner alone at home every day.

Unfortunately, his girlfriend actually believed it and would make a scene every time he went back.

He really couldn't understand how she had changed so much when they were dating. She was such a gentle person.

She believes whatever people say, yet she can't see that their eyes are practically glued to their boyfriend.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Tomorrow was his holiday, but he really didn't want to go back.

The three women in front of him, unaware of Researcher Hou's dilemma, kept chattering away.

One is unmarried and can take care of herself without worrying about food and drink; the other has a worry-free family and doesn't need her to worry about anything.

Another woman was pampered by her husband after getting married, and since her mother-in-law wasn't around and there was no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship, she was naturally very happy.

Du Lingling glanced back and saw Researcher Hou, who was being pulled by Researcher Tian, ​​looking worried.

He looked tired and unhappy.

"Sister Chuchu, what happened to Researcher Hou? Did something happen at home?"

Lin Chuchu shook her head, "I don't know, he didn't say, and we were too embarrassed to ask."

Later, Researcher Hou's wife no longer lived in the same courtyard as them, so they didn't have much contact anymore. The few times they met, they were always very polite to each other, and they became quite distant.

Song Luobai is a trusting person. "I'll ask about it when we eat later."

If something really happens at home, we're all colleagues, so we should at least lend a hand.

Because everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, the meal was unusually quiet.

Song Luobai couldn't help but ask Researcher Hou.

Researcher Hou is a bit of a quiet person by nature.

But for some reason, this time he really felt the urge to confide in someone.

"...Why don't you just live a good life? What are you thinking? If things continue like this, we'll definitely have to fight."

Although there are fewer divorces now, and the two people are in a military marriage, if they really can't make it work, it's not impossible for them to divorce.

But he still had feelings for his wife and didn't want to get a divorce.

He picked up the cup on the table and gulped it down in one go.

It was just water, yet it tasted like Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), a liquor with a sense of vicissitudes.

"Please help me think of a solution. I don't want to go on like this anymore."

Everyone fell silent. This was a family matter; was it appropriate for them to get involved?

Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at Lin Chuchu and the other female comrades.

Lin Chuchu said, "Let's go back first, and while we still have some time before work starts, let's help each other come up with some ideas."

Soon, they returned home, and everyone started discussing it amongst themselves.

Lin Chuchu lowered her head and pondered for a long time before speaking to Researcher Hou.

"You're saying your wife's best friend has feelings for you? Are you sure?"

Researcher Hou nodded. "I'm sure my intuition is very accurate, and I even said something seemingly plausible once."

If he weren't a decent person and so devoted to his wife, he might have really fallen for her.

“That’s easy to handle. Nothing you say to your wife will work now, so why don’t you find a way to let her see it with her own eyes?”

Researcher Hou frowned. "What are you looking at? You saw that person pulling and tugging at me? Wouldn't that ruin my and my wife's reputations?"
