The two of them hugged quietly for a while, neither of them saying a word, fully enjoying each other's embrace and body temperature.
This kind of solid hug is especially reassuring.
"Am I dreaming? What if I blink and you disappear again?" Su Yueya looked up at Lu Zhengjun's face, staring at him intently, unable to get enough of looking at him.
"How could this be?" Lu Zhengjun pulled Su Yueya's hand and pressed it against his face. "Feel it, it's warm. It's true, I'm really back, and I'll never leave again."
Su Yueya pouted, almost crying, but she didn't want to be so pathetic.
"Tsk."
That human skin mask is really an eyesore. It's nowhere near as handsome as her husband's original appearance.
Besides, the mission is now over, and most of the follow-up matters have been handled. Lu Zhengjun's restoration of her identity is just a matter of procedure, and removing the mask now should not have any impact.
"It's hideous. Take off that mask. I want to see your face," Su Yueya said. She had actually wanted to do this for a long time.
“This…” Lu Zhengjun suddenly became very hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Su Yueya didn't believe that Lu Zhengjun was unwilling to show her his face. The fact that he hesitated meant that something must have happened.
She immediately tensed up, since she had never worried about this issue before; it came too suddenly.
"Are you injured?" Su Yueya asked with concern, then realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute, you should always be wearing a mask. If your face was seriously injured, the mask would be broken, and your identity would have been exposed long ago. What happened?"
"Don't rush," Lu Zhengjun stammered, wanting to explain but feeling embarrassed.
"Tell me quickly, how can I not be anxious!"
"That's right. When I left, I was in a bit of a hurry, and you didn't have many spare human skin mask materials in your space. I secretly took some with me. I didn't know how long the mission would take, and I was afraid we wouldn't have enough materials, so I tried to wear the mask on my face for as long as possible without moving it. I tried not to change it if I could. After a while, my face started to have an allergic reaction," Lu Zhengjun explained.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, even the three-year timeframe wasn't certain back then, and the materials were limited. Every bit used was a bit less, so of course he had to be economical.
Being covered by a human skin mask for a long time would definitely affect Lu Zhengjun's original skin. He had seen it himself when he changed the mask; usually, there was some redness, swelling, or allergies, and his skin condition didn't look good.
He could keep it to himself, but he didn't want to expose his ugly side to Su Yueya.
What if Crescent Moon dislikes me?
Of course, he didn't voice this little thought; how could he possibly say it?
That's exactly the case.
Once Lu Zhengjun explained, Su Yueya understood.
"Come on, let's go home, I'll take a look at you." Su Yueya said, pulling Lu Zhengjun back to their little home first. She didn't go into the space immediately, but instead checked the condition of his face first.
After removing the mask, it was discovered that Lu Zhengjun's face indeed had many allergy marks, and her skin condition was also very poor.
"Tsk, honey, your looks have really declined!" Su Yueya joked, and immediately went to get the spiritual spring water and spiritual spring face mask. This allergy is not difficult to treat, and you should recover quickly.
But when Lu Zhengjun heard this joke, her eyes visibly darted away.
He was afraid that Su Yueya would think that way.
Su Yueya immediately noticed his momentary disappointment and realized that her joke was inappropriate.
Lu Zhengjun was hesitant to take off her mask just now, and now she's joking around. He must be overthinking things.
Su Yueya couldn't bear to let him ponder things on his own.
"Pop—"
She immediately cupped Lu Zhengjun's face in her hands and kissed him without any hesitation, making a loud sound.
Add to that a barrage of sweet talk.
"Honey, I was just kidding, I was just trying to lighten the mood. You'll always be the most handsome in my heart, no one is as handsome as you!"
"Besides, you have to trust my abilities. A mere allergy? Do you think I can't cure you? Don't worry, drink some spiritual spring water and use this spiritual spring water mask, and I guarantee you'll recover in a few days, without any problems at all!"
Lu Zhengjun realized that he had been a bit sensitive just now. In fact, he had made such jokes before, but perhaps because they had been apart for too long, he was not at ease yet. He would get used to it after a while.
"Okay, my wife is definitely the best."
"Good boy." Su Yueya handed him the spiritual spring water and made him drink it. She then started to make a spiritual spring water face mask and made Lu Zhengjun lie down on the sofa.
"Honey, lie down, I'll put a face mask on you."
While applying face masks, the two of them can chat.
Su Yueya sat on the sofa, and Lu Zhengjun rested his head on his wife's lap. He was wearing a face mask and wanted to keep quiet, so he listened to his wife tell him what had happened at home while he was away.
"By the way, when are we going to visit Mom and Dad?" Su Yueya asked, thinking that Bai Xiuhui and Lu Anguo would definitely be very happy to see Lu Zhengjun.
Especially Mom, who almost couldn't go on living after learning of Lu Zhengjun's death, the old couple will definitely be proud of Lu Zhengjun now.
Lu Zhengjun was also eager to see his parents immediately, knowing that the news of his death would be a great shock to them.
"I'll visit them in the next few days, once my face has recovered a bit, so they won't worry," Lu Zhengjun said.
"Okay, honey, stop talking, the face mask is crooked." Su Yueya carefully adjusted it for him and then started talking about the changes at home.
"My older brother got married. My sister-in-law works in the weapons research group in the army, you know? She's incredibly capable, and she's even a reincarnation... Reincarnation means..."
"Many of the powerful weapons in the army now were designed by my sister-in-law, like the silenced gun and the tranquilizer gun, they were all designed by her!"
Lu Zhengjun found it fascinating and nodded repeatedly. She never expected that her brother-in-law, who usually seemed dull and unsmiling, could marry such a remarkable wife.
"Second sister-in-law is quite something too. She's a time traveler. She said I'm the female lead and you're the male lead, and that we're from a novel she read. Actually, I knew a long time ago that you faked your death to go on a mission. It was Second Sister-in-law's inner thoughts that revealed it. But... Second Brother isn't as capable as Big Brother. He hasn't been able to get Second Sister-in-law to officially recognize him yet!"
They talked about Qiao Shouyan for a long time. Lu Zhengjun had already taken off her face mask, but the two continued chatting, as if they were trying to make up for the three years they had lost through conversation.
"Really? I thought my brother-in-law would get married earlier than his older brother, but it turns out the opposite is true." Lu Zhengjun found it amusing.
"Who says otherwise? Second Brother still has a long way to go!"
