"I'm going to go back and take a shower first. No need to hold the door open for me, I'll sleep in my own house."
"Brother Cao, wait for me." Xiao Hai followed him. He also had a room in Cao's house.
Qi Siling looked at the two of them, picked up his burden and headed back to the old house. He still had to say hello to his grandfather.
Zi Bo fell behind, closed the door, and then caught up with Qi Siling.
"Brother Qi, you guys have been gone for so long this time, did you have any fun?"
Qi Siling fetched a bucket of water, stripped down to her underwear, and began to wash in the courtyard under the moonlight. Ziqiu and Zidong's rooms were in the backyard, so there was no need to worry about them suddenly rushing out at this time.
"Go and get me some soap. All the good things are in that package, you can find them yourself." One package in the shoulder pole contained gifts for them, and the other sack contained fruit, with a little of each kind in it.
"Okay." Zi Bo excitedly went to the bathroom at the back.
Qi Siling took out the soap from her space and quickly rubbed it all over her body. Zi Bo then brought over a soap bar. He planned to go find Xia Youyou that night, and he was afraid he'd stink her up if he didn't wash himself properly.
The girl must have missed him a lot. She ignored him when he called her a few days ago and even had a tearful tone when she spoke, which made him feel very sad.
Now that he's back, he'll go see her as soon as possible.
"Is grandpa woken up?" Qi Siling took the soap and put it aside, washed away the dirt on his body, and finally used the soap to wash away the fragrance.
"Grandpa, you knocked on the door, but it was Grandpa who called me." Zi Bo flipped through the package, "Wow, Brother Qi, is this fruit? It's so fresh! It looks like it was just picked."
Qi Siling didn't explain the origins of the fruit. "I brought these fruits for you. Dump them in the well water and let them rise for a bit before eating. Don't save them. If they go bad, it'll be a waste. I'll send some over in a week."
"I see." Zi Bo knew what he meant and felt even more grateful.
"I'll go see Grandpa after I'm done washing. Take the things back to your room and distribute them to your younger siblings tomorrow. I'll prepare something else for Grandpa's side. Also, after I see Grandpa, I'll go see your sister-in-law. Remember to come out and lock the door."
Zi Bo carried the package, turned around and smiled when he heard this, "You miss my sister-in-law, right?"
Qi Siling splashed water on him, "What do you know, kid? Wait until you get married before you laugh at your brother."
Seeing the situation was not good, Zi Bo picked up the package and ran away, without getting any water on it. He left the sack of fruit there and would come back to hoist it into the well later.
Go wash off the foam on your body quickly, go to the bathroom to change your pants, and then go to grandpa's room.
"grandfather."
Almost as soon as the knock sounded, the door was opened.
"You're back." Old Master Qi yawned and looked at him while waving a palm-leaf fan. "Yeah, it's dark."
Qi Siling placed the bag of fruit on the table and touched his face. "It's okay if it gets dark." He walked over and helped him sit down in the armchair inside. "Grandpa, how are you doing recently?"
"I'm an old man, it's good to be healthy and pain-free."
"I brought you some fruit. Remember to eat it. I'll come back once a week to bring you some. Don't skimp."
"What's the point of sending these?" Old Master Qi raised his eyebrows, disagreeing.
"Don't be afraid to spend money. These are things they don't want over there. We didn't spend a penny."
Only then did Mr. Qi nod.
Coming out of the old house, he glanced at the Cao family across the street. He released his bicycle from the space and, with a single pedal stroke, rushed out of the alley.
Late at night, Beijing was deserted. He pedaled like a hot wheel, his heart practically leaping from his chest as he thought of the little girl. The Ministry of Security was farther away than the Academy of Sciences, so even at his fastest speed, it still took him half an hour to get there.
I took out my ID and showed it to the guard before I was allowed to pass.
After locking the car downstairs, he took the three steps at a time and went up to the third floor. The dormitories here were different from those in Haishi. The dormitories of the Security Department were tube-shaped buildings.
The dormitory for the two of them was at the end of the tube-shaped building, which was his special request. The girl liked quietness and didn't like the noise in the tube-shaped building.
He ran all the way to the door, put his hands on the door frame, slowed his breathing, and knocked gently on the door.
"long."
The person in the dream thought he was dreaming and turned over in his arms, hugging the quilt.
"Dongdong. Yoyo."
Xia Youyou suddenly opened her eyes. This wasn't a dream! She threw off the blanket and ran to the door without even putting on her shoes.
"Brother Qi, is that you?" Her voice trembled as she tightened the door lock. She woke up in the middle of the night, and no one knew how many times she had had this dream.
"It's me, Youyou. Open the door. Be good." He missed this little girl so much. And now she was right there, just behind this door. This time, it wasn't just a thousand-mile phone line, but a real person.
The door flew open.
Something soft bumped into the man's arms.
"Woo~"
"Be good, don't cry, I'm back." He picked her up with heartache, and let her sit on his waist like a child.
He smelled the fragrance of her hair, the same apple scent he'd missed in his dreams at midnight. He placed his large palm on the back of her head, stroking it gently. He entered the room and slammed the door shut with his leg, making a loud thud.
The colleague next door heard the noise and someone stuck his head out.
"Comrade Xia Youyou, is that you?"
There was an awkward moment between the two of them. Xia Youyou wiped the tears from her face and said loudly, "It's me. It's okay."
Everyone took good care of her and would naturally ask when they heard any noise.
Qi Siling hugged her and turned around, leaning against the door. He reached out to lock the door, but his lips found hers and kissed her.
"Babe, I missed you so much."
Xia Youyou moaned and held his neck even tighter.
The two of them kissed passionately against the door.
In the end, Xia Youyou couldn't stand it anymore and was a little breathless, so she pushed him away.
"Brother Qi~" she shouted, tears of grievance about to fall again.
I have never missed someone so much. I can't eat or sleep well. Every night I fall asleep thinking of him, and when I wake up I still can't help but look for him.
"Be good." The man was so distressed that he held her and rocked her gently to comfort her. "Be good, I'm back."
He kept saying "good boy" as if to make up for what he had whispered to him over the past two months.
I held her in the room and rocked her for a long time before the little girl stopped crying.
"Have you just arrived? Where are my brothers?"
"They are at the old house. Can I take you back to see them tomorrow? Are you sleepy now? Can I hold you to sleep?"
Xia Youyou shook her head. She was so afraid that it was a dream that she didn't dare close her eyes.
Leaning on his shoulder, pressing my skin against his, feeling his scorching heat, it felt real.
Qi Siling touched her bare arm and felt a hint of coolness, then carried her to the bed. Then, he felt her feet were also cold, so he let her rest them on his thighs.
Holding the curled up softness, there is not a trace of romantic thoughts in my mind at this moment. There is only cherishing and missing.
This was the longest time the two had been apart since they got married. Just two months almost cost Xia Youyou her life.
Hugging each other and expressing their longing for each other, Xia Youyou finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
Even when I fell asleep, tears were still in the corners of my eyes.
Qi Siling wiped away her tears with heartache, then hugged her tightly and fell asleep together.
