Late at night, Song Fuyu was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

Although her sleep was interrupted by the sound, she did not feel any unpleasant emotions this time because she knew who was outside.

Song Fuyu quickly lifted the thin quilt, climbed down from the kang, put on his slippers, and ran to the door.

As soon as the door opened, before I could even see the other person clearly, I fell into a warm embrace.

"You want to scare me to death, don't you?"

Song Fuyu reached out and pinched his waist, but did not push him away. Instead, he also wrapped his arms around his strong waist.

"Were you frightened, then?"

He raised his hand and gently stroked her soft hair. Under the moonlight, the girl in his arms looked particularly gentle and beautiful. Just like the scene that had repeatedly appeared in his dreams after he met her, he was extremely fascinated by it.

Months of longing finally came to an end the moment I saw her.

"I wasn't scared because I knew it was you."

When she saw the words "return soon" written on the telegram he sent, she knew that he would come over tonight. After all, the snowstorm on New Year's Eve did not stop him.

I wanted to wait for him until the early morning, but I was troubled by dreams last night and was seriously sleep deprived. In addition, I worked on farm work all day, and finally I couldn't stand the fatigue and fell asleep while waiting.

"How about going inside first?"

"Don't move yet. Let me hold you for a while. No one will see you at this time."

During the mission, he had been suppressing his inner thoughts and not letting Xiaoyu appear in his mind.

In their profession, they have to be vigilant at all times and cannot afford to be distracted in the slightest.

But sometimes, missing someone doesn't mean you can stop missing him or her.

No matter how his comrades teased him, he refused to admit it, but he was very honest in his heart. He knew that he really missed her, very much.

The two of them hugged each other stupidly at the door for who knows how long, until a slight cool breeze blew on their bodies, and Yan Ziyuan loosened his arms around her.

"Come inside, it's cold outside."

He has thick skin and is not afraid of the cold, but Xiao Yu is wearing a thin...

They had been hugging each other and hadn't noticed it. When she stepped back a step or two, Yan Ziyuan looked at her skirt, which was made of two pieces of cool cloth, and suddenly felt the blood in his body surge up.

He looked at the scene in front of him with some shock.

The two thin shoulder straps seemed to be able to detach from the owner's body with a little effort, revealing the shoulders and collarbones.

Yan Ziyuan immediately turned his head away, not daring to look down any further, fearing that he might lose control by accident.

"Why aren't you moving? Didn't you say it was cold?"

“Ahem~~”

"Xiao Yu, it's too late. You should go back and rest first. I'll go next door."

As he spoke, he felt a wet liquid flowing out from under his nose. He quickly covered it with his hand and ran away without looking back.

Jin Kai has become accustomed to hearing knocks on the door in the middle of the night.

After all, ever since Song Fuyu moved next door, he had no idea how many times he had to get up in the middle of the night to open the door for him.

"I said, can't you come over during the day? You always choose to come here in the middle of the night. You don't feel tired, but I feel tired for you."

"You don't have a partner, you don't understand."

If I come here during the day, wouldn’t I be wasting half of my vacation?

"snort!"

"Who said I don't have a partner? I'm going to have one soon!"

Jin Kai climbed onto the kang and gave him an unconvinced look.

After the autumn harvest, he took a leave and went to Heng City with Youyou to visit her family.

"Are you expressing your feelings to Tong Zhiqing?"

"How do you know it's her?"

"......"

Is it hard to guess? The thoughts of these two people are so obvious that only they think others can't see it.

The next day, after Song Fuyu made breakfast, he asked Tong Youyou to go next door and call them over for dinner.

She had also seen Jin Kai's cooking skills, which were not enough to make people starve to death. As for the word "delicious", it was not at all.

"Brother Yan, I suddenly realized that you seem to be a good person here, and I can even eat with you."

"You don't usually rub it often?"

"I rarely have the opportunity to eat breakfast for free."

The breakfast Song Fuyu prepared was very simple, white porridge, corn tortillas and pickles.

She didn't serve herself porridge, but made milk instead, which she has been drinking for almost a year.

"Brother Yan, how long will you stay here this time?"

They were so sleepy last night that they fell asleep without saying much.

After having the delicious breakfast, Jin Kai wished he could stay longer this time. Maybe he could enjoy the same treatment every morning. Otherwise, he could only continue to eat the dry biscuits bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Xiao Yu, how about I ask your captain for leave later?"

He did not answer Jin Kai, but turned to ask Song Fuyu who was eating a tortilla slowly beside him.

"Yeah, that's fine."

If she went to ask for leave from the team leader herself, the other party might not agree, but it would be different if Yan Ziyuan went.

"Where are you going to take your leave? The autumn harvest is still a few days away. I don't think the captain will agree to it, right?"

"Return to Heng City."

"You guys are going to Heng City too? What a coincidence! I'll be there after the autumn harvest. How about you wait for me?"

"Why should I wait for you? We're not going to the same house."

He finally had some time to spend alone with Xiao Yu, and he didn't want to have two more light bulbs following him around for no reason.

"Wouldn't it be better if we have two more people to look after us? If anything happens on the way, we can still help."

"Do you have money to buy us things, or can you beat the gangsters if you meet them?"

"Uh...none."

"But I can bring you joy and will never let you get bored on the journey."

"No need to discuss this! We are in a hurry."

"Then you can always buy me two sleeper berths to Heng City, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll pay you. It's not for nothing."

Given Yan Ziyuan's attitude towards Song Fuyu, it was impossible for him to let her go home sitting in a hard seat.

Although he could call the old man and ask him to help buy it, but he and Youyou were not together yet, and calling back would be like walking into a trap. His mother would definitely ask him to bring his girlfriend home that day.

After breakfast, Yan Ziyuan followed Song Fuyu to the place where he went to work.

Now everyone in the village knows that they are dating, and he can help her with her work, and no one will gossip about it.

"Song Zhiqing, is your partner here to help you with the work?"

"Um."

"That's great, he's a nice guy, and you two are a good match."

"Thank you, Auntie. When Song Zhiqing and I get married, I will definitely treat you to wedding candy."

"That's great, I'm waiting."

As soon as the villager who spoke left, Song Fuyu glared at him.

"What are you talking about~"

"I'm telling the truth. I'm your partner, so isn't it a done deal for us to get married?"

"What if my godfather doesn't agree..."

"If he doesn't agree to you marrying me, then I will marry into your family. Anyway, I have three older brothers, so the family doesn't need me anymore."

"Aren't you afraid that your parents will break your legs?"

"What are you afraid of? My dad often threatened to break my legs when I was little. You'll get used to it."

"You stay in the shade first, don't have to work, wait for me to come back, I will go to the captain to ask for leave for you."
