Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo talked almost the whole night, and it was nearly dawn when they fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she reached out beside her, and he was already gone.
Cheng Su immediately sat up straight like a carp flipping, looked at the bed next to her, panicked, got off the bed, and ran out of the room barefoot.
"Qi Taiguo!"
There was no one in the living room, and no one in the bathroom, so she sat on the ground and started crying.
He left without saying a word to her.
The key sounded at the door lock suddenly. Someone came in, and upon seeing Cheng Su crying on the floor, was surprised: "What’s wrong with you?"
Hearing the voice, Cheng Su turned her head, immediately got up and rushed over: "Where did you go? I thought you left. Wah!"
Qi Taiguo couldn’t help laughing and said, "Morning training is a must. Even if I leave, you shouldn’t cry. Just look at you, where are your shoes?"
"In the room." Cheng Su snuggled into his embrace like a cat.
"Alright, alright. Here I am, sit down, I’ll go get your shoes." Qi Taiguo patted her back, helped her sit on the sofa, and went to get her slippers, advising as he put them on her feet, "The floor is cold, don’t be willful, you’ll catch a chill if you don’t wear shoes."
"I thought you’d leave without telling me, that’s why I ran out in a hurry." Cheng Su wiped her tears and sniffled.
"We’re not leaving until eleven!" Qi Taiguo pinched her nose.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Cheng Su said, "It’s just me being anxious!" She glanced at the clock and added, "I’ll cook something for you, we can eat before you go. You check your luggage one more time."
"Okay!" Qi Taiguo didn’t want her to overthink, so keeping busy was better for her to keep her mind from wandering.
Cheng Su was quick and agile, she soon prepared several dishes. After they finished eating and tidied up, the guard came to inform them it was time to leave.
Since the training was for an extended time, Cheng Su insisted on sending him off. Qi Taiguo had no choice but to let her, and fortunately, when they reached the unit, Gao Linbing and their wives had also brought their children to see them off.
The regiment commander gave some encouraging words, and they boarded the vehicle to depart.
A group of them rode the military vehicle to the train station and walked onto the platform.
Cheng Su’s eyes were red, holding Qi Taiguo’s hand tightly, full of reluctance.
"Enough, go back now. Look, the sisters-in-law are going to laugh at you!" Qi Taiguo didn’t expect her to be so clingy.
"I’ll leave after you go." Cheng Su wiped her overflowing tears, looking pitiful.
Qi Taiguo had no choice but to hug her. Cheng Su couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"Taiguo, it’s time to go!" Gao Linbing and the others urged.
The train conductor was already waving the flag.
Qi Taiguo could only say, "Wait for me to come back!"
Cheng Su nodded hastily, crying as she watched him board the train. Gao Linbing’s wife came over, patted her hand, and said, "Sister, don’t cry, it’s not auspicious."
Hearing this, Cheng Su quickly wiped her tears and chased after their compartment.
Qi Taiguo put down his luggage bag and looked out the window, seeing Cheng Su standing outside staring at him longingly, looking as pitiful as a rabbit.
Feeling a pang in his heart, Qi Taiguo said to his two comrades, "Give me a hand."
Gao Linbing and the others didn’t understand until they saw him hanging his whole body out of the train window. They hurriedly grabbed his legs to prevent him from falling, thinking, this guy’s crazy enough.
Qi Taiguo reached Cheng Su, cupped her face, and kissed her lips...
All around, there were screams, and everyone applauded.
Which soldier is leaving, sharing a goodbye kiss with his love!
