“When I was away fighting, the first thing I did every time I returned to Nanjing was to go back to my parents’ home to let them know I was safe.”
"However, my father rarely comes back with me; most of the time, it's my mother who waits for me."
"Hmm...she always likes to wait for me at the door..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked away and instead looked at the clothes Zhang Zisheng was holding in her arms:
