Qian Lai hurried to make arrangements, while Wu Mei muttered under her breath, "See? I didn't say it myself. Everyone knows you're Deputy Division Commander Gu's 'sister-in-law.' But you two just won't admit it."
After a busy day, the new home is finally starting to take shape.
Gu Hanchuan's rank originally qualified him to live in the "General's Building".

This is my own little home.
However, after the excitement subsided, a sense of desolation, like "the capital is filled with splendor, yet this person alone is haggard," quietly crept into my heart.
Qian Lai had long observed that Gu Hanchuan, who had been silently drinking and occasionally gazing at the starry sky, had eyes full of regret and melancholy.
