Calling out to her was no other than her husband, Qin Jian.
"I’m not dreaming, am I?" An Hao rubbed her eyes, seemingly in disbelief of what she saw.
"You’re not dreaming! I’m back!" Qin Jian looked at her with a smile, his voice magnetic and full of affection.
"This is just too... too surprising." An Hao had not at all expected him to return at this time.
Without even a hint of warning, he appeared before her as if by magic.
"Oh my! My dear little madame!" Gu Shuangshuang was in a hurry for her, pushing her straight toward Qin Jian before letting go, "Alright, stop being so reserved! I know you must want to throw yourself into the chief of staff’s arms!"
"How would you know what I’m thinking when you’re not me?" An Hao turned her head to look at Gu Shuangshuang, her cheeks tinted with a light blush.
"Because every time I see Tian Niu, I want to throw myself into his arms, and by that logic, I think you feel the same way," Gu Shuangshuang said with a big laugh, not trying to hide her feelings at all.
Lei Linxuan and Zhang Juan, standing by the side, exchanged a knowing smile and joined the teasing, "Give him a hug! Give him a hug!"
Qin Jian opened his arms, and without hesitation, An Hao threw herself into them, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Qin Jian, I’ve missed you, missed you so much..."
"I’ve missed you too..." Qin Jian bent down and gently kissed her smooth forehead.
"Wow, how romantic!" Lei Linxuan looked at the scene, her eyes brimming with rose-colored bubbles, "I also really want to date a soldier."
"Rest assured, rest assured!" Zhang Juan patted her on the shoulder, "Once we graduate, let’s aim to stay at the military hospital. When we see someone we like, we’ll boldly make a move and capture them."
"Great idea." Lei Linxuan expressed her approval.
People who live in the same dorm for a long time influence each other’s temperaments, as evidenced by these two becoming much more cheerful than before.
"You two have quite the ambition," Gu Shuangshuang said with her hands on their shoulders, "Let’s go. The couple has reunited and won’t want to mix with us anymore. I think we better go find our own meal."
Once the three of them left, Qin Jian and An Hao held each other for a long time, unwilling to part.
At that moment, it was as if they were deeply in love, paying no mind to the various gazes cast by people coming and going through the school gates.
Only a love so deep and coupled with a long period of missing each other could bring such a yearning to ignore the views of the world.
Zhang Chaoqian walked out of the laboratory. Today was New Year’s Day, and Yan Ye had given them a day off.
At noon, those two lazy bums did not want to go out, so they entrusted him alone to order two dishes from the campus diner to bring back.
As soon as he reached the front gate, he saw a tall and imposing man holding An Hao in his arms. He was dressed in a military uniform with two bars and two stars on his shoulder— the rank of a lieutenant colonel— and even just from his profile, one could tell the man was exceptionally handsome.
And looking at An Hao, where was her usual sharp demeanor?
This was clearly a delicate and tender little wife, a sultry and charming little darling. Held in the man’s arms, she looked like vines clinging to a pine tree.
Fuck! Professor Yan’s words were spot on! This man’s demeanor really was extraordinary! This must be An Hao’s husband, the legendary figure from the Northern Military Region— Qin Jian.
"I have to tell Cheng Yue fast. His love rival has appeared!"
