The man was dressed in a crisp military uniform with two bars and three stars on his shoulder insignia, the rank of regimental commander.
He looked travel-worn, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
Qin Ye, who had just returned from the training ground, was still thinking about going back to his office to handle some business after dinner.
As soon as Qin Ye entered the room, he sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
It's so... lively.
He looked up and was stunned when he saw the slender figure chatting happily with his parents in the living room.
Especially when he saw the unprecedented, radiant smile on his mother's face, Qin Ye felt his mind go blank.
What... what's going on?
Did he go into the wrong house?
As soon as He Shumin saw her beloved son return, she immediately stood up with a beaming smile and pulled Qin Ye over.
She pointed to Su Tang and introduced her to Qin Ye with great solemnity:
"You little rascal! You're finally back! Come here, let me introduce you!"
"This is Su Tang! She's from Shanghai! Your future wife! Quick! Greet her!"
Qin Ye: "!!!?"
He looked in the direction his mother was pointing.
Su Tang sat there upright, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Those clear, watery eyes were now looking at him with a hint of mockery, completely at ease.
Qin Ye looked at Su Tang's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.
Then he looked at his mother and father's expectant faces and their complicated gazes that seemed to say, "You're in luck, kid."
For the first time, Commander Qin, who was always calm and composed, and whose expression remained unchanged even in the face of a collapsing mountain, showed obvious cracks in his perpetually icy expression.
He opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and he felt a dryness in his throat.
After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"...What are you doing here?"
Su Tang tilted her head, a sly glint in her eyes: "Why can't I be here?"
Qin Ye was indeed somewhat surprised.
The woman before him overlapped with the figure from Eagle Sorrow Gorge.
She turned out to be his nominal fiancée.
Su Tang adapted to the situation quickly; after all, she had seen even more bizarre scenes before.
There have been too many coincidences lately, so many that she's started to get used to them.
He Shumin didn't care how many twists and turns her son was thinking, and pulled him to the table.
"What's wrong with you two? Staring at each other like that, don't you know each other?"
She looked at this and then at that, her brows furrowing slightly.
The guard, Xiao Fang, felt extremely uneasy.
He tried several times to explain the official statement that Comrade Su Tang was "still under observation and his identity needs to be verified."
But the words were on the tip of her tongue when Dean He glared at her, threatening to tell her to stop.
Xiao Fang was on the verge of tears, and could only lower his head and act as a background figure, praying in his heart that Commander Qin would understand on his own.
He Shumin was unaware of the young guard's inner struggle and greeted Qin Ye warmly.
"What are you standing there for? Sit down and eat! Tangtang has come all this way, you, as the host, must treat her well!"
At the dinner table, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
He Shumin remained as enthusiastic as ever, constantly putting food into Su Tang's bowl and showing concern for her well-being.
"Tangtang, eat more yak meat, it's good for your health! You're too thin!"
"Come on, try this barley cake, it's a local specialty!"
Qin Zhenbang then occasionally posed a few questions.
"How's the recovery going in Shanghai?"
