Side Story 4: Return (1)



Every time they met, they would repeatedly remind them that if they heard any news about Xin'er, they must inform them immediately.

They call every month, asking about my situation several times.

Xia Jie and Tan Jingrui discussed it and immediately took action to spread the news.

The news that Xin'er was coming back spread like wildfire.

The massive creatures that were originally scattered all over the world returned to the S City base in almost a single day.

They all agreed that if Xin'er came back, her first stop would definitely be the S City base.

Just as they expected, the first place Xin'er arrived at was indeed the S City base.

This is where she started owning all her supermarkets.

Xin'er sent them the message on her way back.

For her, it had only been a few days from leaving to returning, but returning to the Blue Planet felt like a lifetime ago.

Xin'er led Chen Zhuxin directly to the entrance of Quanyou Supermarket's main store. Just as they arrived, they ran into Li Feng, who was returning from the second branch.

They knew Xin'er was coming back, but they weren't sure of the exact time. So when they suddenly saw Xin'er, Li Feng rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Is he hallucinating because he misses Sister Xin so much?

Xin'er looked at him with great interest and teased him:

"What, don't you recognize me?"

Hearing her voice, the person in front of him seemed to become real again, and Li Feng excitedly rushed over.

"Sister Xin!"

"You're back!"

His shout was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan; it sizzled and caused a stir, attracting other people in the supermarket to come out as well.

One by one, they surged toward Xin'er like a tide.

"Sister! Waaah, sister!"

"Sister Xin!"

"Auntie! Ranran misses you so much."

"Boss Xin!"

"Aww~"

Boss, my boss, you're finally back!

Before Xin'er could even greet everyone, the people and mutated beasts who had arrived surrounded her completely.

Chen Zhuxin, standing to the side, watched with her eyes twitching.

"Wow, you're like a big star here, everyone knows you."

Xin'er replied confidently:

"Before the apocalypse, I was already a big star."

"Bamboo heart?"

Lu Chen's voice rang out from behind the crowd, which should have been drowned out by the lively chatter of the crowd.

But Shen Zhuxin captured it accurately.

It was him... So many years have passed, and he...

Shen Zhuxin's body stiffened slightly, and she didn't dare to turn around immediately, feeling uneasy.

Noticing her nervousness, Xin'er teased her quietly from the side.

"Minister Shen, your husband recognized you just by looking at your back. He's really deeply in love with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhuxin's eyes suddenly reddened, and emotions from her memories surged forth. She turned to look at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, I'm back..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Chen rushed over in a few big strides and pulled Shen Zhuxin into his arms.

He buried his head deep in the crook of her neck, as if trying to meld her into his own body.

Hot tears rolled down her clothes like beads from a broken string.

The hands that were holding Chen Zhuxin trembled slightly, and her voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded.

"Chen Zhuxin, I've waited for you for so long, so very long..."

Thirty years, a full thirty years, he thought he would never have the chance to see her again in his life.

Unexpectedly, she returned, like a shining star, rekindling the long-silent night sky in his heart.
