"It's chicken soup, Sister Lian, quickly wash your hands and come eat." Lin Chan set out the bowls and chopsticks.
Shen Shuyi brought out the braised chicken and mushroom stew in a small clay pot, and suddenly thought of Yan Zheng, wondering how he was eating while on his mission.
The three sat down and, looking at the table full of delicious-looking dishes, praised Shen Shuyi's culinary skills.
"Shuyi, you're amazing! You can do everything!"
Shen Shuyi felt great about herself, mainly because after accumulating knowledge from so many worlds, she really knew a little bit about everything.
"Wow, this chicken soup is so delicious! How come my chicken soup isn't this good? I also use goji berries and red dates, and I didn't add anything else." Lin Chan wondered, because she was pregnant, and her husband was always trying to make her soup, spending almost all of his monthly salary.
Well, Shen Shuyi couldn't explain it either, because she added spiritual spring water, how could it not be fresh?
"Oh, we're really in for a treat today!"
"Even the chicken meat in the chicken soup is rich and delicious, and after taking a sip of the chicken soup, there is a subtle aftertaste of freshness."
"And this chicken stew with mushrooms is amazing too! It's so flavorful, I could eat a whole bucket of rice with the broth!"
"It's so delicious!"
Hearing their praise made Shen Shuyi happy; it felt good to make more friends.
When she was a celebrity, she was afraid of being betrayed and having negative stories spread about her, so she never had any close friends.
Even when meeting someone for a private meal, they are restrained, afraid that the other person has brought a recording pen, or that they might be set up if they drink too much at the dinner table.
Those days of being overly cautious weren't very happy; now, a simple and peaceful life is quite nice.
...
The next morning, Shen Shuyi went to the dock to wait for Yan Zheng, who should be returning by ship.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the dock, I saw Xiao Shu, who walked over with a troublesome look on her face.
“Shen Shuyi, I think you should wear white clothes today, and the headband on your head should also be white.” Xiao Shu looked Shen Shuyi up and down.
Shen Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her, with several plainclothes special forces soldiers following behind her for protection.
The moment Xiao Shu appeared to cause trouble, those tall special forces soldiers took two steps forward.
Xiao Shu knew that soldiers wouldn't lay a hand on people casually, so she stubbornly said:
"Shen Shuyi, your smugness won't last long. Today is Yan Zheng's death day."
"The news of his death should be getting back soon."
Shen Shuyi stared at her, "Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you? It's a crime to slander soldiers. Even the Xiao family won't be able to protect you then."
"If you curse my lover again, don't blame me for taking action."
Xiao Shu sneered, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, just wait and see!"
Shen Shuyi ignored Xiao Shu and waited at the dock for today's ship.
This ship only runs once a day; if you miss it, you'll have to wait until the next day.
Time passed slowly, and the ship approached from afar.
All the passengers got off, but Yan Zheng was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Shu's eyes were full of laughter, and she couldn't stop laughing.
"I knew it!" Xiao Shu didn't want to provoke Shen Shuyi, but she couldn't swallow her anger.
It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, I would still be a member of the performing arts troupe.
It was also because of Shen Shuyi that Li Donghai was demoted!
Today, even if people gossip and say she insulted the martyrs, she has finally gotten her revenge!
"Shen Shuyi, why aren't you mourning yet?"
Shen Shuyi turned around, raised her hand and slapped Xiao Shu across the face, turning Xiao Shu's face to the side and causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.
Xiao Shu sat on the ground, covering her face, her eyes filled with resentment. "She's only been married a short time and she's already a widow."
Before she could finish speaking, the special forces soldiers who had been protecting Shen Shuyi held down her arms.
People around them were pointing and whispering.
"Who are these people? She's insulting a hero!"
"I heard she's also the wife of a company commander. As a soldier's family member, she insulted soldiers. It's simply unforgivable!"
"This kind of vicious woman should be punished by the disciplinary committee!"
Shen Shuyi had no idea what had triggered Xiao Shu's outburst, which caused her to act so erratically in public.
"66, can you detect any information about Yan Zheng?"
Was the mission delayed?
Before System 66 could reply, the roar of airplanes suddenly came from the sky.
Shen Shuyi looked up and saw a small helicopter circling down, its target seemingly a beach nearby.
Even while being held captive, Xiao Shu was still furious and thoughtless, yelling, "Shen Shuyi, do you think your short-lived husband will ever come back?!"
Shen Shuyi glanced at her coldly, "Shut her up."
Several special forces soldiers grabbed a rag and stuffed it into Xiao Shu's mouth; they were all under Shen Shuyi's orders.
Shen Shuyi's gaze was fixed on the plane. She had a vague feeling that Yan Zheng was on the plane, and her heart pounded.
Suddenly, the lowered aircraft door opened, and as the ladder descended, a tall and imposing figure appeared.
The man in military uniform grabbed the soft rope with both hands and jumped down, landing safely on the beach.
When Shen Shuyi saw the figure she had been longing for, she ran over quickly.
Yan Zheng ran up and caught her, and the two embraced on the beach.
“Brother Zheng…” Shen Shuyi buried her face in his chest, her eyes reddening.
Yan Zheng patted her back with his large hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Shuyi, I'm back."
Shen Shuyi looked up, grabbed his arm with both hands, and examined him from head to toe. "Are you injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about." Yan Zheng held her tightly. When the enemy's bullets came, he thought he would never see her again in this lifetime.
The moment Xiao Shu saw Yan Zheng, it was as if she had seen a ghost.
