At this moment, Zhang Lei, wearing a raincoat, crawled in, took off his rain hat, shook off the water, and said to the woman:
"Honey, isn't it time to get off work?"
After saying that, he realized that the person standing at the door was Lin Chen.
Upon learning that Linchen Village had been flooded, they quickly extended an invitation:
"Come stay at my place for a few days. I don't know how many more days this awful weather will last."
Lin Chen smiled and declined, "I won't bother you at your house. Could I use the kitchen for a bit?"

Zhang Lei took the keys, a smile spreading across his face, then cupped her face and gave her a quick kiss.
"Wife, you are so good."
