Before leaving, Cheng Su also considered whether to visit Little Cheng Su at the orphanage one last ti, but after much deliberation, she decided not to. She feared that if she went, she wouldn’t want to leave.
She was also afraid that seeing Little Cheng Su would further confuse her and make her wonder if in her past life, things were just as they are now—did she sohow end up sponsoring herself?
If that were the case, then where exactly did she co from?
Whenever Cheng Su thought about this, her head ached, and her mind felt like a tangled ss.
This made her feel as if she had beco a snake biting its own tail, stuck in an endless cycle of repetition.
The train rumbled along, pulling Cheng Su’s thoughts away.
After nearly two days and nights on the train, Cheng Su and the others finally arrived back in Qing City. At the train station, Cheng Su distributed the local specialties for Wang Bo and the others to take ho to their families, as well as to the company to share with colleagues.
She also took so herself, planning to share them with her neighbors. After all, she’d been away for ten days and returning empty-handed from the big city would be embarrassing.
After parting ways with them and carrying her bags ho, it was already completely dark. Hearing her return, neighbors poked their heads out.
"Hey, Sister-in-law Qi, you’re back!"
"Back so soon?"
Cheng Su looked tired and said, "I’m back."
As she was about to take out her keys, the door to her small ho was opened from the inside, and Qi Taiguo appeared before her.
"You’re back."
"You’re back too!"
The two spoke at the sa ti.
Qi Taiguo smiled, took her luggage, and seeing this, the other people wisely went back inside.
Cheng Su kicked off her shoes and collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move.
"Are you very tired? You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go to the cafeteria and get you a al!" Qi Taiguo said.
"No need, I’m not hungry, and I don’t really feel like eating!" Cheng Su stopped him.
"How can you not eat? You should have sothing." Qi Taiguo disagreed with her, taking a lunch box as he prepared to leave.
"Really, don’t go. I brought back so local pastries; I’ll just snack on those!" Cheng Su said softly. "I’m thirsty, could you get a glass of water to quench my thirst?"
Qi Taiguo had no choice but to go along, handing her a mug with hot water.
Cheng Su drank it down with a gulp and let out a breath.
"How about taking a hot bath to relieve so fatigue? The pastries are dry; I’ll make you so noodles." Qi Taiguo, seeing how tired she looked, suggested with concern.
Cheng Su nodded in agreent.
Dragging her weary body to the bathroom, she lingered for a full half hour before coming out, her face flushed.
Qi Taiguo pulled her to the sofa, took the towel from her, and helped dry her wet hair. On the coffee table, there was a bowl of noodles with an egg on top.
Seeing it, Cheng Su had a bit of an appetite. Picking up the chopsticks, she started eating, not forgetting to thank him, and then asked how he had returned so quickly and how his training had gone.
Qi Taiguo answered each question and then asked about her trip to Guangcheng and her impressions.
"...Guangcheng is so big. The security isn’t great now either. When we arrived, we saw soone chasing another person with a machete. It was terrifying!" Cheng Su recalled.
Qi Taiguo furrowed his brows, sensing her body tremble slightly, and said, "Then let’s not talk about that, let’s discuss sothing else."
"Sothing else?" Cheng Su put down her bowl and chopsticks, stared blankly for a while before saying, "Qi Taiguo, I might be a non-existent person. What do you think I should do?"
What on earth was she talking about?
