Seeing that Lin Qinghuan's expression didn't seem to be lying, Lu Ming looked at Wei Xiao with a teasing gaze, "Wei Xiao, you've been rejected by this young lady."

Lu Ming looked at the woman sitting next to Wei Xiao and said with a smile, "Fortunately, Mei Xian has the discerning eye to have taken a liking to you. You must treat her well in the future."

Wei Xiao smiled at Jiang Meixian, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings. His Qinghuan! She must be feeling terrible!

Dong Wenbo and Zhang Zheyu finally understood why Wei Xiao ignored Lin Qinghuan and them; it turned out he was on a mission.

Holy crap! Luckily Lin Qinghuan is smart, otherwise Wei Xiao would have really been exposed.

Dong Wenbo and Zhang Zheyu buried themselves in their food, no longer looking at Wei Xiao and Lin Qinghuan.

Lin Qinghuan chatted and laughed with Qin Zhen as if nothing had happened. Seeing Lin Qinghuan's behavior, Lu Ming felt that she really didn't care about Wei Xiao at all, and gradually dispelled his doubts about Wei Xiao.

Lin Qinghuan put down her chopsticks and said to Qin Zhen with a smile, "I'm going to the restroom."

Lin Qinghuan went into the bathroom, and when she came out again, she saw Wei Xiao standing at the door. She looked up at Wei Xiao, a mix of emotions welling up inside her. Her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.

Wei Xiao looked at Lin Qinghuan, his eyes filled with longing, and murmured, "Qinghuan!"

Lin Qinghuan had been suppressing her longing and emotions, but upon hearing Wei Xiao's tender voice, her feelings and love surged forth. She couldn't help but throw herself into Wei Xiao's arms, pressing her face against his chest, and whispered, "Wei Xiao!"

Wei Xiao embraced Lin Qinghuan, the lovely girl he had been thinking about day and night, and felt a pang of guilt for letting her suffer.

Lin Qinghuan looked up at Wei Xiao, her eyes meeting his guilt-filled yet loving gaze. She smiled brightly at him and kissed his lips.

"Wei Xiao, I love you, I'm waiting for you to come home!"

After speaking, Lin Qinghuan broke free from Wei Xiao's embrace and left with her head down.

Looking at his empty arms, Wei Xiao felt a pang of sadness. He wanted to give Lin Qinghuan the best of everything in the world, but things never went as planned.

Lin Qinghuan's maturity touched Wei Xiao's heart. Wei Xiao suppressed his emotions and left the bathroom expressionlessly.

Lin Qinghuan calmly returned to her seat and continued chatting and eating with Qin Zhen.

After finishing their meal, Lin Qinghuan glanced at Wei Xiao, who was still eating, then quickly looked away and said to Qin Zhen, "The hot pot at this restaurant is pretty good. I'll treat you next time!"

Qin Zhen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting."

Qin Zhen waved to the waiter, who came over. Qin Zhen asked the waiter, "How much?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Twenty yuan!"

Qin Zhen paid the bill and smiled at Lin Qinghuan, "There's a nice Western restaurant there, I'll treat you to Western food next time!"

Lin Qinghuan smiled and said, "Okay! Let's meet up again sometime."

Lin Qinghuan and Qin Zhen left the hot pot restaurant, hailed a taxi, and smiled at Qin Zhen, "Goodbye!"

Qin Zhen looked at Lin Qinghuan, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Goodbye!"

At night, all was quiet. Lin Qinghuan was reading in bed when she heard a knocking sound at the window. She immediately got up and went to the window. She saw Wei Xiao and opened the window with a smile.

Wei Xiao leaped into the room, and Lin Qinghuan, beaming, threw herself into his arms. "Wei Xiao, you've finally come to see me!"

Looking at Lin Qinghuan's smiling face, Wei Xiao lowered his head and kissed the red lips he had been longing for day and night. Lin Qinghuan reached out and wrapped her arms around Wei Xiao's neck, all her longing melting into a passionate kiss.

After the kiss ended, Wei Xiao picked up Lin Qinghuan and placed her on the bed. Looking at Lin Qinghuan's slightly swollen red lips and flushed cheeks, he felt she was more beautiful than any flower.

Wei Xiao lowered his head and kissed Lin Qinghuan's forehead. Looking into Lin Qinghuan's clear, spring-like eyes, which were filled with tears and love, his heart was instantly filled with joy. "Qinghuan, I miss you. I miss you so much!"

Lin Qinghuan wanted to ask Wei Xiao when he would finish the mission, but in the end she didn't ask, because she didn't want to put pressure on him.

“I miss you too. I’m going back to Baiyun Village for the New Year tomorrow. I’ll take the clothes I made and the scarf I knitted for you back to the Wei family and have Grandma give them to you.”

Lin Qinghuan stroked Wei Xiao's face and said softly, "Wei Xiao, we'll get married when you come back from your mission."

It's the early 1980s now. In rural areas, it's not uncommon for girls to get married at sixteen, and many get married at seventeen. Girls who are still unmarried at twenty are often scolded for not being able to get married. Lin Qinghuan will be seventeen after the New Year. Besides, she drinks spiritual spring water every day and occasionally eats ginseng from her space, so her health is in excellent condition.

She wanted to marry Wei Xiao and have a child, so that even if Wei Xiao didn't have time to spend with her, she would still have a child by her side.

Wei Xiao's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. "Okay, after we return from the mission, we'll get married."

Wei Xiao held Lin Qinghuan's slender waist, and the delicate and smooth touch in his hands made him reluctant to let go, so he couldn't help but stroke Lin Qinghuan's body back and forth.

Lin Qinghuan's face turned as red as if it were bleeding, and she closed her eyes, not daring to look at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao kissed Lin Qinghuan's red lips, their tongues entwined, filling the room with an alluring atmosphere.
