And so, for the first time in three years, Luo Qingyuan put all her work aside, asked for leave for the children, and the whole family submitted a report and left Kyoto for the south to see the misty rain of Jiangnan.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and when they returned to Kyoto, it was Duan Ye's family who saw him off.
Duan Ye's trip was a secret, so apart from his family, no one else knew about it.
Luo Qingyuan, with her child in tow, watched Duan Ye's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and her heart suddenly tightened for a moment.
It turns out that watching a loved one leave is so painful.
Duan Luo: "Mom, Dad will only be gone for a year. A year will go by quickly. Dad will come back when my brother and I are in fourth grade."
Duan Chen also comforted her, saying, "Mom, we'll wait for Dad with you."
So, Luo Qingyuan smiled through her tears. Yes, it's just a year, isn't it? She can wait.
I just hope that the people above will return Duan Ye to her in the same way they took her away.
——
The cycle of the four seasons in a year isn't actually that long when you're busy, but she hasn't heard from Duan Ye for a very long time.
In late spring of the following year, Luo Qingyuan was attending a meeting at Henglun when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the unfamiliar caller ID and intended to hang up, but the next second she pressed the wrong button.
She could only answer: "Hello, is this Mrs. Duan?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Qingyuan was so shocked that she stood up abruptly, her face turning deathly pale, leaving those around her looking at each other in astonishment.
"Yes, that's me. Who are you? Are you...him..."
Luo Qingyuan suddenly couldn't say anything.
The person on the other end chuckled and said, "I'm Duan Ye's colleague. I'm calling to tell you that Professor Duan's team is on its way back to Earth and is expected to arrive in two hours. If you come now, you can see him as quickly as possible."
Luo Qingyuan was stunned. The color slowly returned to her face, and her body gradually warmed up.
The person on the other end continued, "When he returned to Earth, Teacher Duan contacted us specifically to say that he missed you very much."
In that instant, Luo Qingyuan's eyes reddened, and without thinking, she grabbed her bag and walked out.
"Where is it? Please tell me the address."
"Our people are already waiting for you downstairs at your company."
She was walking at first, but then Luo Qingyuan suddenly started running, no longer caring about her usual image.
She missed him very much.
Two hours later, Luo Qingyuan was taken to an unfamiliar place.
Countless astronomers were setting up cameras to take pictures, and news reports were constantly circulating about the lunar landing, claiming that some major breakthrough had been achieved, but Luo Qingyuan had no interest in listening.
All she wanted was to see the person she wanted to see as soon as possible.
"Madam Duan, your husband is here!"
The crowd was noisy, and when she turned around, people automatically made way for her.
Then she saw Duan Ye being carried by people. He was still wearing his astronaut suit. When he saw her, his eyes lit up. Because he couldn't move freely yet, he could only whisper, "I love you..."
She understood, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Duan Ye smiled too; he was very happy.
His longing fueled his determination and effort, shortening his journey by a full three months.
He thought he never wanted to go on business trips again. He just wanted to hold Luo Qingyuan's hand and travel to every corner of the world. Spring had arrived, and it was a time of eternal spring and bright sunshine for him and her.
Luo Qingyuan ran towards him, her heart and eyes filled with only him.
This spring was incomplete for her, but his arrival was enough to fill the map of this spring.
