Chapter 239 Reunion
Chapter 239 Reunion
Xu Sui was stunned, somewhat taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"
"Who's back?"
Her man?
But Qin Yunzhou only wrote this morning, saying it would arrive in a few days, or maybe after the New Year.
Gao Aifen was somewhat surprised. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at her again, exclaiming in surprise, "Ah? Sui Sui, you didn't know?"
"I thought you knew."
Xu Sui shook her head; she really didn't know.
There must be some mistake.
Gao Aifen smiled and joked, "So your man didn't tell you he was coming back. He probably wanted to give you a surprise."
"It seems I meant well but did something wrong."
"Forget it, I'd better not say anything. It's not far, you'll know when you get home."
Putting everything else aside, her partner is both good-looking and capable; in the entire city of Beijing, they would be hard to find even with a lantern.
According to Grandma Qin, her grandson is a high-ranking officer in the military.
However, Sui Sui is no less impressive. She got into Peking University, such a prestigious university, and has a bright future ahead of her. She also gave birth to twins for her husband.
This young couple is truly a perfect match, both in terms of looks and abilities. Now, everyone in their Guihua Hutong envies Grandma Qin for having such an accomplished grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
Xu Sui agreed, Gao Aifen had never met Qin Yunzhou before and didn't even know what he looked like, so perhaps she was mistaken.
Even though she was thinking this, a sense of anticipation welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but hurry home.
As she approached her doorstep, she stopped, took a deep breath to calm herself, and then tidied her hair before entering her courtyard.
Upon suddenly hearing the news of Qin Yunzhou's return, whether it was true or false...
Xu Sui couldn't help but feel emotionally fluctuating. She couldn't help but hope that it really was him, but she was also afraid that it wasn't him and that she would be disappointed.
As soon as I entered the house, I looked up and saw the familiar tall and imposing figure of a man in the living room.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the entire living room and the man's sharply defined profile.
At that moment, he looked down and smiled as he teased the two children, holding one in each arm, making the two children, who were not even a year old, very happy.
Xu Sui paused, unable to suppress the surging emotions in her heart any longer, and the corners of her lips turned up slightly.
It was him, it really was him.
He's back. He's really back.
At this moment, Qin Yunzhou, who had served in the army for many years and was extremely vigilant, also noticed that someone had returned.
He looked up and saw the slender figure he had been longing for day and night. He was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but call out that name in a low, hoarse voice, filled with deep longing.
"Sui Sui..."
Before Qin Yunzhou's brain could react, his body had already done so.
He instinctively grabbed a child in each hand and quickly walked up to Xu Sui, his gaze fixed on the woman's fair and beautiful face, unable to look away.
The two parted ways when their love was at its peak, and more than half a year later, they met again. It would be a lie to say they didn't miss each other.
During his time in the army, he could only alleviate his longing by looking at photos of his wife and children over and over again.
Now, the family of four is finally reunited.
The two fair-skinned, chubby babies were being held by their father. They were very well-behaved, not crying or fussing. Their curious eyes blinked, looking innocent and adorable.
Xu Sui couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist. "Didn't you say you wouldn't arrive for a few more days?"
"I didn't believe it when I heard someone say you were back."
"I didn't expect it to really be you."
Qin Yunzhou was holding one child in each arm, leaving him no free hand to hold Xu Sui as well.
He chuckled softly, his gaze fixed intently on the person in his arms. "I want to give you a surprise."
The original plan was indeed to arrive a few days later, but he wanted to see the mother and her two children as soon as possible, so he worked hard on his missions and finally arrived a few days earlier.
I traveled by train for five or six days straight, day and night, covered in dust and grime.
Finally arriving at his doorstep, Qin Yun thought he would see Xu Sui the moment he stepped into the courtyard and entered the house.
To my surprise, she wasn't home.
Although I didn't see her, I did see two little ones.
The two little ones were well-fed and chubby, obedient and adorable, not afraid of strangers at all. As soon as they saw him, they stumbled and rushed into his arms.
When he left, the two children were still in their cradles, just a few days old, tiny little bundles of joy.
I can't believe half a year has passed and they've grown so much. They still crawl all over the place and babble away.
The moment Qin Yunzhou saw the two little ones, his heart softened completely.
This is their child.
Unfortunately, the two little ones can't speak yet and can't call out "Dad."
……
After a long separation, the excitement gradually subsided.
Xu Sui looked around the house but didn't see Grandma Qin or Du Mei. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Du Mei was cooking at the stove outside.
I didn't dare make a sound from beginning to end, afraid of disturbing them, so quiet that I was almost invisible.
The house isn't very soundproof, and the door wasn't closed, so everything that just happened was probably heard and seen.
She blushed slightly and immediately pulled away from Qin Yunzhou's embrace.
The living room is definitely not a place to talk, especially since there is a young, unmarried woman in the house.
Before, when Qin Yunzhou wasn't home, there weren't any taboos, but now that he's back, there's a difference between men and women, so we should still avoid certain things.
Xu Sui grabbed the man's clothes and pulled him into her bedroom.
He turned around and closed the door. The room fell silent, so quiet that it seemed only his own heartbeat could be heard.
Qin Yunzhou put the two children on the bed and let them crawl around as they pleased.
He drew the curtains, and the room suddenly became darker and even more silent. An ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread throughout the enclosed room.
The two sat close together on the bed, and for some reason, at this moment, they felt a little nervous and uneasy.
I don't know if it's because we've been apart for so long, but we feel a little unfamiliar with each other.
When Xu Sui looked up and met Qin Yunzhou's dark and deep gaze, she felt as if she was about to be devoured.
His gaze was too intense and direct, staring straight at her.
Seeing this made her blush, her heart raced uncontrollably, and her palms gradually became sweaty.
It felt like a long-awaited reunion, even better than a newlywed wedding.
