    Chapter Index

    During the Chinese New Year, she worked for ten days in a row.

    The Spring Festival is a great day for family reunions, but Chen Yirong faces a lot of troubles when it comes to scheduling work. However, this time, because Xue Xue voluntarily accepted the shift change, Chen Yirong’s work became less troublesome.

    “I’ve worked hard on you these past two weeks.”

    In order to thank her, Chen Yirong also gave her a big red envelope.

    Xue Xue refused, but Chen Yirong insisted.

    In the end, I couldn’t find a reason and could only accept it with a smile.

    Looking at this year’s zodiac images and congratulations painted with gold edges on the festive bright red background, Xue Xue sighed: “I haven’t received a red envelope for a long time.”

    Hearing this, Chen Yirong raised his eyes.

    Chen Yirong knew very little about Xue Xue’s background except for the information she filled in when she first joined the company. She only had a more in-depth chat when we had a drink together before, which made her feel even more sorry for this girl who was working alone in a foreign land.

    Chen Yirong had only thought that Xue Xue was sophisticated but not worldly, sensible and considerate, but she did not expect that her experience was more difficult than she thought.

    If Xue Xue knew what Chen Yirong thought of him, he would probably smile.

    In fact, Xue Xia is not that pitiful.

    At least she grew up loved and cared for by her grandma and grandpa.

    This is also the reason why Xue Xia was able to keep a pure land in his heart in the end.

    “Don’t worry.” After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yirong finally chose to pat Xue Xue on the shoulder.”Work hard and I will send you a big red envelope every year from now on.”

    Xue Xue, who knew who the other party was, readily accepted the kindness.

    “Okay.” She smiled.”I will try my best.”

    When he received the news from Wei Chinian, Xue Xue was struggling with a pot of tonic soup that was almost mushy.

    Thick foam spreads on the surface and is mixed with grease. It looks like a soup brewed by a wizard in a fantasy movie. Although the color does not look that scary, it makes people feel uneasy.

    From his last vacation to now, Xue Xue’s new hobby is making soup.

    Although she was still young and still found time to go to the gym, she didn’t know if it was due to overwork and overthinking in the past few years. She always felt that her health was not very stable. She was prone to catching colds when she took a break, and her quality of life plummeted.

    Later, at Chen Xueliang’s suggestion, Xue Xue started to try cooking. He found that making soup was quite interesting, so he went online to buy some books and paired them with videos to learn. Unknowingly, he developed an interest.

    “Oh, you really can’t be too quick. The fire will be out of control…” She turned off the small gas stove while stirring the ladle of soup.”It’s a pity, then we have to clean up the pot again…”

    Looking at the failed dark cuisine, Xue Xue could only sigh helplessly.

    Since the liquid inside was too hot to handle, she didn’t plan to turn on the fire again. She planned to rely on instant noodles and microwaveable food bought from the supermarket yesterday for dinner today.

    Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.

    Xue Xue wiped his hands with a paper towel. When he took a closer look, he almost thought he was dazzled.

    The four words clearly visible on the caller ID were the notes she had just changed to Wei Chinian not long ago.

    “Missing persons.”

    When Xue Xue stretched out his hand, he realized that his fingertips were trembling.

    In these ten days, she hardly thought of Wei Chinian.

    Devoting himself wholeheartedly to his work, dealing with the endless stream of customers, he would go home and take a shower every day without even being in the mood to eat, so he would just fall asleep…

    Facts have proven that diverting your attention is the fastest and most direct way to forget your worries.

    However, what should be forgotten was not forgotten, it was just hidden until the black cloth covering it was lifted unexpectedly, revealing the sharp edges.

    It was then that I suddenly realized that as time passes, some memories will not fade, but will only become more vivid.

    Xue Xue closed her eyes, held her breath, and picked up the phone.

    There was no sound from the other side for a long time.

    It wasn’t until her heartbeat got louder and louder that it drowned out the frequency and rhythm of her breathing, reverberating loudly in her ears. Then she heard the two soft words on the other side that contained a thousand thoughts.

    It’s your own name.

    “Xue Xue.”

    Xue Xue opened his mouth.

    She thought she made a sound, but she didn’t.

    So after a few seconds of silence, Wei Chinian called out again in confusion: “Xue Xue? Are you there?”

    “…Yeah.” His eyes were hot and he wanted to cry for no reason. Xue Xue endured the urge and then whispered in a low voice: “I’m here.”

    Wei Chinian smiled.

    The magnetism was a little lower than usual, causing Xue Xue’s eardrums to feel numb and itchy.

    She unconsciously raised her hand to rub her earlobes.

    “Long time no see, Xue Xue.”

    “Hmm.” Xue Xue raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall.”Long time no see.”

    Although Wei Chinian’s volume was a little lower, you could tell that he was in a good mood, and he said teasingly: “Did you miss me?”

    “What do you think?”

    Xue Xue asked back.

    “That’s for sure. It’s like I’ve been thinking about you.”

    If he hadn’t been aware of Wei Chinian’s situation at Yuchi’s house and had learned about the situation from Gao Wenji, Xue Xue might have thought that the other party had gone to study for some love credits during this period of time. Otherwise, every word of love hit the softest part of his heart just right?

    It makes people throb and heartbeat.

    “You…” She changed the subject in a subtle way.”When will you come back?”

    Wei Chinian was silent for a moment.

    “It may take a while.” Before Xue Xue felt disappointed, the man continued: “But it won’t take long. I promise, the matter has been roughly resolved. There are just some areas that need to be dealt with. It won’t be delayed for a long time. It will be soon.”

    It was undoubtedly the most reassuring thing to say it from Wei Chinian’s own words.

    And she has been waiting for so long, so it’s not too late.

    “Don’t worry, come back after you have taken care of everything.” Xue Xue paused.”I don’t want to live in fear anymore.”

    Wei Chinian understood that she said this so that he would have no worries.

    This is his lover.

    Even if they are not fighting side by side on the front line, they still have full tacit understanding and confidence in each other.

    Time has changed a lot, but fortunately, reunion not only brings the past to completion, but also brings a new beginning.

    Wei Chinian knew that this hard-won opportunity was worth cherishing and paying attention to for the rest of his life.

    “Okay.” He promised.”Wait until I get home.”
