Wang Jingyi smiled knowingly, glancing at Su Yue's aggrieved face, signaling Fu Shen to quickly comfort her.
Then, she pulled Grandma Yang, who was staring intently at Fu Shen's face, into the main room.
Fu Shen casually placed his luggage on the ground, walked steadily to Su Yue, carefully placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned slightly forward, and said with apologetic eyes, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Not only were they late, but they also broke their promise. They had clearly agreed to report to Yang Guohua and then rush to Beicheng, but who could have imagined that this delay would last for more than ten days.
Just that simple sentence instantly brought tears to Su Yue's eyes. She turned her head, punched Fu Shen's chest hard, and said in a wronged tone, "Why did you take so long to come? I've been waiting for you for so long."
As she spoke, she pointed to the stool next to her, her voice full of sorrow: "I sit here every day, staring longingly at the door, waiting from day to night, but I never see you."
Su Yue had already calculated that it would take Fu Shen about six days to return to Bincheng, and he might stay at the military base for a day or two.
Well, after calculating everything, she eagerly awaited the arrival of Fu Shen every day, but the expected time passed and he still didn't appear.
Now she was really worried. She stopped going out for walks with Grandma Yang and would stay in the yard after meals. She wouldn't call Yang Guohua to ask for news. She just sat there stubbornly waiting to see when he would come.
Fu Shen looked at Su Yue, whose eyes were wide open. She was telling him incessantly how she had been waiting for him all these days. His heart was filled with sweet ripples, but also with heartache and reluctance.
He gently took Su Yue's hand and explained with a hint of guilt, "The day after I returned to the army, I packed my things and prepared to take the train. But then Wang Renyi's wound became infected and he developed a high fever. I stayed with him at the hospital for three days. Once his condition stabilized, I immediately took the train. When I arrived in Nancheng, I got off the train and went to my second brother's house first to deal with Fu Liugen's matter, which is why I was delayed for a while."
The matter was resolved smoothly, but the journey was arduous and time-consuming.
Su Yue asked worriedly, "Wang Renyi is injured? How serious is it?"
Fu Shen: "It's alright, he'll be fine after a few days of rest. I didn't call you about going to Nancheng because I didn't know Grandpa Yang's home phone number, and I didn't want to ask the political commissar. If I did, he would definitely dig into it. I don't want to make Fu Liugen's matter known to everyone, including my close friends and family."
"It's good that Wang Renyi's injury isn't serious."
Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Fu Shen had returned to Nancheng to deal with the confrontation with Fu Liugen. Her curiosity was immediately piqued, and she was particularly curious to know how Fu Liugen would react when he heard Fu Shen say that he was not their biological son.
She looked up and asked, "What were Fu Liugen and Liu Xiuying's expressions when they saw you come back?"
Fu Shen held Su Yue's hand tightly, glanced around the courtyard, and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it later. Which room are you staying in?"
Su Yue pointed to the house behind the pomegranate tree. Fu Shen looked in the direction she pointed, then picked up the luggage on the ground and held Su Yue tightly with one hand.
As soon as he entered the room, Fu Shen casually put his luggage aside and then turned around to hug Su Yue.
However, Su Yue's large pregnant belly blocked their way, making it impossible for the two to embrace tightly.
Fu Shen reluctantly released Su Yue, looked down at her protruding belly, and looked depressed.
Su Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw his aggrieved look.
Fu Shen looked at Su Yue with a wronged expression, pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, and sat down himself. Then he reached out and half-embraced her in his arms, looking quite satisfied. He thought to himself: I can't hold her completely, but half-embracing her is fine too.
Su Yue gently rested her face against Fu Shen's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and her little temper instantly vanished.
Fu Shen couldn't come to Beicheng on time because he had something to do, not because he didn't take his promises to him seriously. That's enough.
Between the two of them, it wasn't just her who was suffering from longing for the other.
Fu Shen hugged her for a while, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't showered for several days. His ears turned red, and he awkwardly pushed Su Yue away.
Su Yue asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
Fu Shen looked slightly embarrassed. "I haven't showered. Can you smell anything strange?"
