I run a food city in the last days

Jiang Yiyin came back to his senses, but was in no mood to talk to Qi Yuening. He only waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then asked the system in his mind: "Where is he now?"

He paused for a second and asked cautiously: "You're not leaving now, are you?"

"Not yet." The system's answer made her sigh in relief, "He is at the place you agreed on."

She got into the car without saying anything: "Ating is waiting for us, let's go quickly."

Qi Yuening noticed that something was wrong with her mood, but now he had learned to stay silent when others didn't want to talk, and just started the car silently.

On the morning of the first day of the New Year, there were not many cars on the road. He got stuck on the edge of the speed limit and rushed to his destination as quickly as possible.

From a distance, he saw a tall figure standing on the roadside. After seeing their car, Gu Huaiting raised his arms and waved.

Since he was on vacation for the Chinese New Year, he had worked overtime for three days in a row. Originally, a breakup was better than a wedding, and she should be very happy, but now she felt her eyes were astringent.

I couldn't help but complain a little bit in my mind, feeling that what he said about ten years before was setting a flag.

As soon as she got off the car, she couldn't help but throw herself into her husband's arms. Fanduanzi covered her face in her uncle's arms and shouted, "Mom, shame on me."

If she normally heard her daughter's words, she would bend over with laughter and quickly withdraw from her husband's arms, but today she hugged his waist harder and buried her whole face in his arms, as if nothing could help her. It's like he didn't hear it.

Of course, Fendanzi is still unable to understand the complex emotions of adults. She just thinks that her mother is different from usual, and her eyes like black grapes are full of doubts.

However, Qi Yuening seemed to have noticed something. He frowned and suddenly said: "I'll take her up first. You guys can come up behind."

She didn't raise her head or make a sound, but Gu Huaiting gently stroked her back and raised his lips to his brother-in-law: "I'm sorry to bother you, it's cold. You can take the baby home first after you put on the incense."

Qi Yuening was even more sure that something was wrong, but looking at the current state of the two of them, it was really not appropriate to ask questions at this moment, not to mention that there was Fenduanzi beside him, so he could only agree, and then climbed the steps with the child in his arms.

Although Fendanzi didn't understand, he still followed his uncle obediently, but kept looking at his parents eagerly, looking quite pitiful.

Gu Huaiting comforted his daughter with a smile, while patting her back gently with his arm. After a long time, he said: "They are gone."

A muffled nasal voice came from his chest: "When will you leave?"

He sighed softly: "Ayin, I..."

"No need to explain," she suddenly raised her head, her eyes and the tip of her nose were red from tears, "That is your hometown. Now we are facing a life-or-death war. I will not ask you to sit idly by."

His heart suddenly twisted into a ball, remembering that he had sworn in front of many guests at the wedding that he would never let his beloved wife cry because of him.

But now he's broken his promise.

The guilt made him breathless, and the tears that were still rolling down her face seemed to be extremely heavy, hitting his heart painfully.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he only managed to spit out three words: "I'm sorry."

She threw herself into the other person's arms again, crying silently more intensely.

The two hugged each other in silence for a long time, and many other people who went to the temple to offer incense cast curious glances.

Neither of them cared, they just hugged each other in silence.

No need to explain one, and no explanation at all.

She was so determined to go home and never changed her original intention because of anything, because she knew very well what her hometown meant to a person.

So when Gu Huaiting came to her world to accompany her, without saying anything, only she knew how moved she was.

He left his hometown for her, stayed away from friends and relatives, and suspended his career...

All because he loves her.

But things are unpredictable. The original hundred-year agreement only lasted for ten years.

His hometown was going through war and calling out all the soldiers. How could she say anything to persuade him to stay?

All the reluctance she felt could not be expressed, because she knew that even a simple "don't leave" would shake his will and make him face deep pain and regret whether he stayed or left.

So she could only melt all her emotions into this hug and tell him, I love you, with the force of almost squeezing each other into each other's bodies.

She didn't know how long she had been hugging him, her hands and feet were numb, and her tears finally stopped flowing - it wasn't that she wasn't sad, it just seemed like the tears stored in her tear ducts had been exhausted.

She struggled slightly and raised her head to look at Gu Huaiting's face.

Ten years later, he is still so good-looking.

Standing on tiptoes and kissing the corner of his mouth, she raised a wet smile: "When are you leaving?"

"……the day after tomorrow."

"Then there are still more than two days. You won't have to go to work these days, right?"

"Of course not." He also tried to smile, but failed, and could only say dejectedly, "Ayin, right..."

She raised her hand to cover his mouth and shook her head: "Don't say this. I was very happy that you didn't stop me from going home. Now it's my turn to send you home. You haven't sorry for me, and I don't feel sorry for you either."

She held his hand and smiled: "Let's go home, and let Qi Yuening bring her daughter back for dinner at noon."

"it is good."

Although both of them seemed to be relatively calm, they knew in their hearts that the current state was not good and it was inappropriate to drive, so they simply left Gu Huaiting's car where it was. The two held hands, stunned. It took three hours to walk back home from the temple in the suburbs.

As expected, Qi Yuening didn't come back directly with the powdered dumplings. They happened to be tired, so they collapsed on the sofa together. Gu Huaiting changed his hand to hold hers, and then hugged her into his arms.

They didn't say anything along the way, but she seemed to be really calm at this moment, and asked proactively: "Has the war already broken out?"

"Well, according to the time of this world, they discovered the first home of the Eden people half a year ago, which is the world where they were really born, and thus found a way to completely eliminate the Eden race. But just when they were preparing to take action , that long-silent world actually gave birth to a new Queen of Eden. She sensed the crisis and immediately summoned all the Edenites who were wandering outside."

"So you are now at a disadvantage in the war?"

The reason why she asked this was because she felt that since it had been almost half a year since the war started, and the special commissioners who had been away were only called back at this time, the war situation must be a little bad.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaiting shook his head: "Not entirely."
