When Zhu Qinghao returned home, the house was still deserted.
Sheng Yi still hasn't returned.
She couldn't help but worry, knowing that he had been gone for a long time and had promised to come back to cook dinner for her but hadn't returned yet.
The main problem is that Sheng Yi wants to buy a lot of things, and many of them can probably only be bought on the black market.
The black market has never been a safe place; the two of them were even chased by Red Guards together.
What if Sheng Yi brought too much stuff and ultimately failed to escape from the Red Guards?
Besides, his hand isn't fully healed yet; how could I let him go buy so many things by himself? What if something happens on the way...?
The more Zhu Qinghao thought about it, the more anxious she became. She immediately locked the door and prepared to go out to see if she could meet him on the road.
As soon as he locked the gate and turned around, he saw a dark figure walking closer and closer to him.
"well?"
Before she could even think, Sheng Yi's voice came out first.
"Why are you going out so late? Where are you going? To the cowshed? Haven't you eaten yet? Maybe you can go later?"
Sheng Yi bombarded her with questions, but Zhu Qinghao didn't want to answer any of them. Instead, she ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Yi quickly parked his bicycle against the haystack and then reached out to catch the person who was running towards him.
"What's wrong, alright? Who made you feel wronged?"
After Zhu Qinghao hugged him, she felt his presence, and her previous worries gradually subsided.
Hearing Sheng Yi's question, she slowly shook her head.
“I wasn’t wronged. I just didn’t see you when I got home. I was worried because I thought you had been out for a long time and hadn’t come back yet.”
Sheng Yi had always felt that Zhu Qing was nice, but her feelings for him were lukewarm, and she didn't seem to really want to get married.
Now, he suddenly heard that she was worried about him, and that she had said it herself. This made his heart soften as if it could melt into a puddle of water.
Suppressing his choked voice, he smiled through his red eyes and spoke softly, as if afraid of startling the person in his arms.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I'm sorry, okay, I thought I had too much stuff, so coming back later wouldn't attract too much attention."
I forgot to tell you, and it's all my fault that you were worried sick at home. I promise I'll be more careful next time, okay?
Zhu Qinghao simply nestled in his arms and gently shook her head, saying nothing.
She knew that Sheng Yi was right. If it were her, she might have made the same choice. She just hadn't thought of that. So why blame him?
She's just overthinking things because she cares too much.
However, it's true that she understands things now, and it's also true that she was worried and scared before, so when Sheng Yi hugged her, she was still a little unsettled.
Sheng Yi noticed, and gently patted her back, holding her as tightly as possible without making her uncomfortable.
With his gentle and attentive comforting, Zhu Qinghao gradually calmed down and managed to break free from his embrace.
Noticing the movement of the person in his arms, a hint of longing flashed in Sheng Yi's eyes, clearly reluctant to part, but he still let her leave.
"Sheng Yi, let's go home."
"Okay, it's getting dark. Be careful, go open the door first, I'll be right there."
