He thought, Grandma would take care of her, right? He boarded the plane to Diannan with his team, heading for the most dangerous front line now. After months of bloody battle, they lost three comrades, and he was injured as well. Although they didn’t completely annihilate the enemy, they thoroughly dismantled the dark, inhumane forces researching the bioweapon virus. Then, he returned victorious in the winter days.

Subsequently, it was a series of missions, and when he finally caught his breath, it was almost Lunar New Year. That’s when he realized that he hadn’t contacted home for nearly five months. Nonetheless, at this time, apart from writing letters, the base’s phone line couldn’t reach the home landline. And in writing letters, by the time the letter arrived, he would have returned already. Understanding this key point, he put the matter out of his mind and got busy again. A week later, he returned to the Imperial Capital. The first time he saw Gu Qiaoqiao, his brows knitted tightly. After months of not seeing her, Gu Qiaoqiao had completely changed. When she saw him, there was no longer a bright smile on her face, only a timid expression. Somewhat uncertain, and what was she wearing? Red, green, yellow, purple... It seemed that all bright colors were worn on her. That girl as clear as a pool of water seemed to have suddenly disappeared. He felt somewhat disappointed yet somewhat relieved. It seems, this kind of Gu Qiaoqiao made the guilt in his heart significantly less. At night, the two of them returned to the room. He handed her the passbook and the bonus he had received. However, when instructing her about things, he found that she seemed to be listening, but obviously absent-minded. Helplessly, he had to put the passbook and money in the study. Speaking to Gu Qiaoqiao, who had followed him, "I put the money and the passbook in the drawer..." Then he heard Gu Qiaoqiao hum like a mosquito. She lowered her head. Yet, he saw her lips move, thinking she was about to say something, but in the end, she remained silent. At this moment, Qin Yize didn’t know what to do. Wanting to say something, but even with friends he had known for years, he didn’t have that many words, let alone, they had only met a few times. Neither knew anything about each other. Solely on love at first sight, this girl rushed into his life like a moth to a flame. Leaving him a bit caught off guard, he had to acknowledge this reality. Even though this was never part of his life plan. At night, he lay on the large bed with her. The bed was large; he occupied half of it, lying flat on his back, eyes closed, letting his thoughts wander. Then, he felt Gu Qiaoqiao beside him, inching towards him, the movement subtle and seemingly anxious, but in the darkness, the sensation was keenly felt. He naturally knew what Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to do, but he was calm, without any thoughts, and at this time, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to have finally overcome her fluttering heart, quickening her pace. And because of such closeness, the fragrance once again approached him. He pursed his lips, a barely noticeable frown on his brow; they hadn’t known each other long, the time together was almost nil, plus, she was still young, just a child herself, how could she be a mother? But he didn’t want Gu Qiaoqiao to feel uncomfortable.
