After enjoying a warm dinner at the Gu family home, the family sat around the table in the living room, the atmosphere relaxed and cozy. Xia Liang knew that her son-in-law, He Siyan, would be returning to his unit the next day, and she felt a pang of reluctance, but also had many words of advice for him.
Xia Liang held He Siyan's hand and said earnestly, "Siyan, you're going back to your unit tomorrow, and Mom has some things she wants to tell you."
He Siyan looked at Xia Liang intently and nodded, saying, "Mom, please speak."
Xia Liang continued, "You must take good care of yourself and be careful in the army. Although you are a soldier, you are also our family, and we are all very worried about you."
Gu Yanxiao added, "Yes, Si Yan. Work is important, but health and safety should always come first."
He Siyan felt the care and love from his parents-in-law, and he sincerely replied, "Thank you, Dad and Mom. I will remember your words and take good care of myself."
Xia Liang continued, "Also, although you and Yunxi have just gotten married, you need to support each other and face the challenges of life together. Remember to communicate more and understand each other more."
Gu Yunxi sat to the side, listening to her mother's words of advice, her heart filled with gratitude: "Mom, don't worry, Si Yan and I will get along well."
Xia Liang smiled slightly: "Yunxi, Mom knows you're a good child, and so is Siyan. I just hope you can be happy."
He Siyan held Gu Yunxi's hand and promised Xia Liang, "Mom, I will take good care of Yunxi and do my best to make her happy."
After dinner, the family continued chatting in the living room until late at night. He Siyan and Gu Yunxi bid farewell to the Gu family, carrying the words of advice and blessings from his parents-in-law, and returned to their own home.
Back home, He Siyan and Gu Yunxi packed their luggage under the soft light, preparing for the next day's itinerary. Although it was only a short separation, they knew that every parting was for a better reunion.
Gu Yunxi carefully organized He Siyan's clothes, folding each piece neatly and putting them into his suitcase. She asked softly, "Siyan, how's the weather at the military base? I'm worried you don't have enough clothes."
He Siyan hugged Gu Yunxi from behind and said gently, "Yunxi, don't worry, the army will issue uniforms, and I will also pay attention to adding or removing clothes myself."
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room and continued chatting, sharing their feelings and thoughts. He Siyan told Gu Yunxi about his daily life in the army, while Gu Yunxi shared her plans and dreams for the future.
Gu Yunxi said, "Siyan, I plan to pursue further studies and improve my professional skills. That way, no matter where we live in the future, I will be able to better support you and realize my own value."
He Siyan looked at Gu Yunxi with emotion: "Yunxi, you always think of me so much. I support your decision and believe that you will definitely be able to realize your dream."
As night deepened, the two embraced and drifted off to sleep, savoring the sweetness and warmth of their newlywed life. The next morning, He Siyan rose early to prepare for his trip to the military base. Gu Yunxi also got up to prepare breakfast for him, hoping he would leave with plenty of energy.
As they said goodbye at the door, Gu Yunxi hugged He Siyan tightly: "Siyan, have a safe journey. I'll be waiting for you here."
He Siyan gently kissed Gu Yunxi's forehead: "Yunxi, I will miss you. We will see each other again soon."
He Siyan embarked on his journey back to his unit, while Gu Yunxi returned to her room and began planning her studies and life. She knew that although the two could not be together for the time being, their hearts were always closely connected, and they both looked forward to a bright future.
Early in the morning, Gu Yunxi prepared to accompany He Siyan to the station, hoping to personally see him off and express her reluctance to part and her blessings. However, He Siyan glanced at the cold weather outside the window, turned around, and his eyes were filled with concern.
"Yunxi, it's too cold outside, so don't bother taking me to the station," He Siyan said softly, his tone revealing his concern and protectiveness towards Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi was slightly taken aback. She knew that He Siyan was worried that she would catch a cold, but she still felt a little disappointed: "But, Siyan, I want to see you off in person."
He Siyan walked over and gently took Gu Yunxi's hand, warmth coming from his palm: "I know how you feel, but I don't want you to get cold. Wait for me at home, that will put my mind at ease."
Gu Yunxi sensed He Siyan's concern and nodded understandingly, "Okay then, I'll wait for you at home. Be careful on the road, and call me when you get to the army base."
He Siyan smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, I will. We'll see each other again soon."
The two embraced tenderly at the door. He Siyan gently kissed Gu Yunxi's forehead, then picked up his luggage, turned, and walked out of the house. Gu Yunxi stood at the door, watching He Siyan's figure gradually disappear into the distance until he vanished around the street corner.
Back inside, Gu Yunxi felt a pang of loneliness, but she knew it was only temporary. She decided to use this time to plan her studies and life, and also to prepare some heartwarming surprises for He Siyan when he returned next time.
Gu Yunxi returned to her room. Although she felt reluctant to leave, she quickly composed herself and began planning her day. She knew that even though He Siyan wasn't by her side, she still wanted to make her life fulfilling and meaningful.
Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Gu Yunxi opened her notebook and began listing her study plans and goals. She planned to focus on her graduate studies while He Siyan was away, and also wanted to participate in some online seminars to broaden her academic horizons.
In the afternoon, Gu Yunxi decided to go to the library to immerse herself in books and seek academic inspiration. She selected several professional books and some literary works that interested her, intending to take them home to read.
Returning home from the library, Gu Yunxi brewed a pot of hot tea and sat at her desk by the window, enjoying the tranquility and pleasure that reading brought. She knew that although she couldn't communicate with He Siyan face-to-face, learning and self-improvement could enrich their spiritual worlds.
In the evening, Gu Yunxi received a call from He Siyan, who had safely arrived at the military base. During the call, He Siyan inquired about Gu Yunxi's day, and Gu Yunxi shared her thoughts on studying and reading.
"Yunxi, I'm relieved to hear that you're living such a fulfilling life," He Siyan said gently on the other end of the phone.
Gu Yunxi smiled and replied, "Siyan, you don't need to worry about me. I will take good care of myself and work hard for our future."
During the phone call, the two also discussed He Siyan's plans for his next vacation. They planned to go to the beach together to enjoy a romantic and relaxing time as a couple.
As night fell, Gu Yunxi recorded her feelings and gains of the day in her diary. She wrote down her longing for He Siyan and her beautiful vision for the future.
