Three days later.
Lu Jinyuan rushed back to Pubing Town, covered in dust from his journey.
As soon as he arrived at the tenement building, a figure came into view.
Ran Jinnian was carrying a basket of vegetables and fruit, which she had taken out of her spatial storage as if she had bought them.
Lu Jinyuan's breath hitched, and he strode forward, saying, "Wife."
When Ran Jinnian heard Lu Jinyuan's voice, she turned around in disbelief and saw a scruffy face approaching her.
"ah."
Ran Jinnian was startled, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground, spilling vegetables and fruits.
Lu Jinyuan hadn't expected to frighten his wife. His mind was only on her, and he didn't notice anything else amiss: "Wife, are you alright?"
"Who's your wife? Don't call me that." Ran Jinnian slapped him.
Lu Jinyuan was both amused and exasperated: "Wife, I am your man, Lu Jinyuan."
"ah."
Ran Jinnian's eyes widened as she finally saw the bearded man in front of her.
Lu Jinyuan.
It really is him.
"husband."
Ran Jinnian's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Lu Jinyuan's arms.
The moment Lu Jinyuan hugged Ran Jinnian, he noticed something was wrong. He looked down and saw that his wife's belly looked like a small ball.
"Wife, you..." Lu Jinyuan's mind went blank, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.
When Ran Jinnian saw him staring at her belly, she angrily slapped him: "You're going to be a father."
Lu Jinyuan's spirits lifted instantly, all the fatigue of the past few months vanished, and he picked up Ran Jinnian in his arms, saying, "Wife, you're amazing."
He never expected that his wife would get pregnant as soon as he left.
"Hey, what are you doing? Put me down!" Ran Jinnian was picked up and spun around by him.
Lu Jinyuan carefully put her down, his tone full of excitement: "How many months?"
"I got pregnant not long after you left, and I'm almost seven months pregnant now."
Lu Jinyuan didn't expect such a big surprise when he came home. Thinking about how he hadn't been there for his wife during her pregnancy, he felt full of remorse: "Wife, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you."
"As long as you come back safely from your mission, that's the best thing." Seeing him like this, Ran Jinnian guessed that he must have completed his mission and rushed back immediately.
She didn't ask for much, only that he be safe and sound: "Let's go home first."
"You haven't picked up the things yet." Lu Jinyuan said with a doting expression.
When he bent down to pick up the pear, he noticed that it was a different variety than the ones he had seen before.
Lu Jinyuan suddenly remembered the apples from last time. These were all top-grade varieties, which are not usually found in the town.
He was rarely seen even in the military region.
Where did you buy your wife from?
He didn't say much, but silently picked them up and put them in the basket.
"Let's go home." Lu Jinyuan said, carrying a basket.
As soon as the two went upstairs, the neighbors saw Ran Jinnian arm in arm with a man, and upon closer inspection...
"Why is Jin Yuan like this?"
"Is Jin Yuan alright?"
In response to everyone's concern, Lu Jinyuan said, "I just came back from a mission and haven't had time to pack yet."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Ran Jinnian and Lu Jinyuan returned home, but Lu's mother had not yet come home from get off work at this time.
"Go wash up first," Ran Jinnian nudged him.
Lu Jinyuan stayed in the mountains for several months. Although he tried to clean himself every day, he still smelled bad.
After he went to wash up, Ran Jinnian took out a pear and peeled it.
Lu Jinyuan came out looking handsome, even though his skin was a bit darker.
