Shen Fenghua's good mood lasted until Qi Ye left home for a mission.
"Leaving so soon?"
Qi Ye nodded, "It's not a big problem, it's just providing support. It will take three to five days at the fastest, and at most a week if it takes longer."
Shen Fenghua frowned slightly. "Is it dangerous?"
"It would be a lie to say there's no danger, but I will be extremely careful."
After all, if you're earning a high salary, you naturally have to live up to the money you're paid in order to have a clear conscience.
“Okay,” Shen Fenghua said listlessly, “We’ll wait for you to come home. You must be careful.”
"Yes, I will."
Grandma watched from the side and suddenly felt that it wasn't so bad to have someone to miss, at least so that she wouldn't be left without someone to look forward to before she passed away.
Lying on the kang (heated brick bed) at night, Shen Fenghua felt a little uneasy as she felt the warm body beside her.
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable carrying Shen Fenghua, Qi Ye tilted his head and asked softly.
Shen Fenghua pouted, "It's nothing." She was being stubborn, but even she didn't realize that her tone was awkward, like a sponge that had absorbed a lot of water; if you squeezed it a little, it would be full of grievances.
Are you unhappy?
Shen Fenghua turned over and said softly, "Did you just find out about the mission?"
No, he knew about it a couple of days ago, but he didn't say anything at first because he didn't want Shen Fenghua to be worried.
That's why I waited until just before departure to say it.
Qi Ye remained silent. If Shen Fenghua couldn't see it, then she would be a fool.
Chun Chun simply acquiesced.
She raised her hand and lightly punched Qi Ye. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Bringing it up out of the blue is very worrying, you know?"
“You’ll worry about me,” Qi Ye said, stretching out his arm and placing it under Shen Fenghua’s neck. The cool strands of hair brushed against his cheek, tickling him.
He lowered his eyes. "So, there are some feelings between us, right?"
It wasn't as initially agreed that everyone would get what they wanted.
Yeah?
Shen Fenghua blushed slightly. Even though she was usually a bit fiery, she couldn't quite handle Qi Ye's candidness. She could only brace herself and say, "If there's no feeling, who cares about you? Do whatever you want, I don't care about you."
Hearing Shen Fenghua say that, Qi Ye smiled and said, "Yes, I really like you."
The night was quiet and still. Two people who should have been the closest in the world intertwined their hands and feet, their breaths mingling, whispering sweet nothings, their feelings gradually warming up, even their body temperature rising.
Everything happened naturally and in a logical and spontaneous way.
Perhaps knowing they were about to part ways, the two were extremely passionate, especially Shen Fenghua, who had always been timid and easily embarrassed in such matters.
This time, she boldly drew Qi Ye's attention.
In my excitement, I stayed up most of the night.
In the end, Shen Fenghua didn't even know when she fell asleep. She was exhausted. Just before falling asleep, she vaguely thought that it was good that she could rest tomorrow. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get out of bed for work, and it would be so embarrassing if she was late.
When Shen Fenghua got up, it was already bright outside, and it was quiet except for the chirping of birds.
As soon as Shen Fenghua moved, she felt a little uncomfortable down there, but it wasn't burning painful.
She slowly got up, and as she propped herself up on her elbows, she suddenly touched a small, cool porcelain bottle. Curious, she picked it up and took a look, her face instantly turning red.
No wonder I didn't feel any pain today; it turns out Qi Ye applied medicine to me before leaving.
She was just too tired at that time, and she didn't even know when to apply the medicine.
No, just thinking about it made Shen Fenghua feel like her face was turning red, but the more she tried to stop herself from thinking about it, the more the images kept flashing through her mind...
At this moment, she really hated her own ability to fill in the blanks, and applied the medicine in a proper manner.
When it comes to her, it becomes vibrant and enticing...
When Shen Fenghua finished dressing and went out, she saw her grandmother sitting under the locust tree in the yard. There was a reclining chair there at some point, made of bamboo, which was very elegant.
Grandma held a palm-leaf fan in her hand, lying on the rocking chair, gently swaying.
There was a rack for drying fruit and other things next to them. The two children were squatting together playing with glass beads. Big Yellow's tail was wagging, and he was tilting his head, standing there looking pretty.
Just looking at this scene brings a sense of peace to my heart.
She almost couldn't bear to disturb this rare and beautiful moment of tranquility.
Perhaps Shen Fenghua was looking too intently, her gaze too intense, for Grandma opened her eyes, looked at Shen Fenghua, and smiled, "Awake?"
Shen Fenghua walked over quickly. "Hmm, you're awake. Why didn't you wake me?"
"What do you want?" Grandma lay on the recliner, a smile on her face. "You finally have a day off, shouldn't you get a good night's sleep and recharge your energy?"
Actually, Grandma felt a little guilty saying this, since even though Shen Fenghua woke up naturally, there was still a faint dark circle under her eyes, which meant she hadn't slept well last night and stayed up too late.
Thinking about this, Grandma couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. What's wrong with this little Qi?
She looks so upright, but somehow she looks like a vixen who sucks people's life force.
Grandma's inner turmoil went unnoticed by Shen Fenghua; otherwise, Shen Fenghua would definitely have wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
She had no shame at being teased like that by her elders.
"Hmm~" Shen Fenghua squatted down. Before Nianping and Nian'an could come over, Da Huang noticed Shen Fenghua, ran to her side and circled around affectionately, meowing all the while. It was so cute that it melted our hearts.
Shen Fenghua smiled broadly as she stroked Da Huang's fur. Nianping and Nian'an also came over. The two children had clearly gained weight and their energy was completely different from when they first arrived.
Have you eaten yet?
"We've already eaten," the two children said eagerly. "Great-Grandma made hand-pulled noodles this morning and even added a poached egg. It was so delicious!"
"Mmm-hmm," Nian'an nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Great-Grandma also saved some for Mom, saying she should eat it after Mom wakes up."
"Good boy/girl."
After talking for a while, the two children went back to playing with marbles. Da Huang, on the other hand, looked at Chen Fenghua and then at the two children. His small face showed his confusion, as if he didn't know who to play with.
Shen Fenghua found it really amusing. She went to the eaves, found a stool, sat down, and put Da Huang on her lap to pet it. "By the way, Grandma, where did this recliner come from? And what about the eggs? We ran out of eggs yesterday, and I was planning to go buy some more. You have some at home now?"
That shouldn't be the case.
"You," Grandma said with a smile, her tone full of satisfaction, "when you remember, it will take ten or eight lifetimes. This is what Xiao Qi remembered. Do you still remember the Zhang family?"
