Just as Chi Xia was nervously preparing to look away, Han Zheng strode over.
He approached Chi Xia, glanced at Han Junche who was talking to the other team members not far away, and then said to Chi Xia, "Thank you, he is very happy now."
Hearing this, Chi Xia suddenly felt a pang of resentment and looked up at Han Zheng, saying, "He could have been happier."
Han Zheng seemed surprised by her words. His dark eyes, which were the same as Han Junche's, dimmed slightly. Then he nodded and said, "You're right. I'm the one who wronged him."
After saying that, he added, "I heard you're getting married soon?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia glanced at Han Junche, meeting his gaze, and then said to Han Zheng, "Yes, we'll settle it when we get back."
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Will you come?"
Upon hearing this, Han Zheng's dark eyes lit up, and he nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Chi Xia said earnestly, "Okay, we'll wait for you."
Han Zheng nodded: "You're a good girl. If his mother were here, she would definitely like you too."
After saying that, he smiled at Chi Xia, then turned and left.
After Han Junche finished giving his instructions, he came to Chi Xia's side, watched Han Zheng's departing figure, and asked in a low voice, "What did he say to you?"
"It's nothing." Chi Xia took his arm. "He asked if we were going to get married after we went back, and then told me that he would be there. He also praised me, saying that I'm a good girl."
Upon hearing this, Han Junche looked up at Han Zheng, then looked away and said indifferently, "Let him come if he wants to."
Chi Xia and her group had enough supplies this time, but the people from the Sirius Base still gave them a lot more.
Qian Xiangdong said, "If you hadn't driven here and there were a lot of people, I wouldn't have minded sending you back by helicopter. It would have saved us the trouble and potential danger of traveling by land."
"We appreciate your kindness," Han Junche said to him. "We'll definitely need your help in the future."
"Captain Han, you're too kind."
Qian Xiangdong said to Han Junche, "The leader held a meeting with us yesterday and explained the current serious situation and future plans. Although we now have two bases, we are all one family. The leader also specifically said that from now on we must follow your lead and obey your arrangements and commands."
Han Junche and Chi Xia were both stunned when they heard this. When they looked up, they met Han Zheng's gaze and saw his gray hair.
Han Junche lowered his eyes and replied, "General Han, you are too kind."
Qian Xiangdong and Han Junche exchanged a few more words before waving goodbye.
The convoy slowly drove away from the Sirius Base. Han Junche looked at Han Zheng in the rearview mirror and stood at a distance watching him until he gradually became a dot and could no longer be seen.
The heavy snow started falling again, and because the road had been blown over before, the return journey was much easier this time.
After another five sleepless days and nights, the group finally returned to the Starfire Alliance base.
The person on lookout spotted them from a distance and immediately notified Qiu Qin.
Qiu Qin did not open the door first, but went to the broadcasting station to announce the good news.
When Han Junche and his group returned, they received an unprecedentedly warm welcome.
The entire base braved the bitter cold and heavy snow to arrive, lining up on both sides, beaming with enthusiastic smiles, clapping their hands to welcome them back.
It was as if they were welcoming their heroes back in triumph.
