Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 902: Chapter 903: You’re Back

After an absence of three months, Qi Taiguo finally returned home. As he opened the door, a fresh floral fragrance hit him. He set down his bag and glanced around. Everything was neat and orderly. Fresh flowers were blooming brightly in a vase on the coffee table.

Three months, yet everything at home felt so familiar and warm, as if he had never left.

Qi Taiguo’s gaze landed on the wall. He walked over and saw a paper calendar, with ”Qi Taiguo Homecoming Countdown” written at the top.

The dates on the calendar had been crossed off with red X’s for a whole month.

Qi Taiguo smiled, warmth and a slight ache filling his heart, a sense of unparalleled satisfaction overwhelming him.

It’s often said that home is a haven, offering rest for the soul, warmth for the body and mind, and when tired and weary, coming home makes the weariness disappear.

This saying might sound overly sentimental, but it rings true.

This is his home; she gave it to him.

Attached to the calendar was a note that read: I’ve gone to school. If you’ve returned, wait for me.

A warmth filled Qi Taiguo’s eyes, his grin growing wider. She had such unwavering faith, faith that he would come back safely.

Qi Taiguo thought for a moment, then turned to grab his keys and headed out. Wait for her?

No, he wasn’t willing to. He wanted to see her as soon as possible.

Cheng Su emerged from the computer room of the computer science department, clutching a few books with her bag slung over her shoulder. Her day of classes was over, and she wanted to hurry home.

”Junior sister,” Ming Xiaofan called, catching up to her.

Cheng Su sighed with exasperation, pretending not to hear, and quickened her pace toward the school gate.

She was really overwhelmed by Ming Xiaofan’s enthusiasm; his eagerness to learn was sincerely exhausting.

”Junior sister, wait for me!”

Master, wait for me!

Suddenly, a scene of Wukong flashed in Cheng Su’s mind, and she stopped helplessly.

”You’re walking too fast, junior sister. I have a couple of questions I’d like to ask you,” Ming Xiaofan said, breathless, clutching his notebook and pen.

Cheng Su replied, ”Senior brother, I have something to do today, I need to go home right away.”

”You said you had something yesterday too,” Ming Xiaofan said, looking wistful.

Cheng Su wanted to laugh. Ever since October started, after class, she would hurry home because Qi Taiguo might have returned, so she always rushed back.

”Senior brother, I really do have something,” Cheng Su said as she walked toward the school gate. ”How about we talk during lunch tomorrow?”

Having said that, Ming Xiaofan had no choice but to reluctantly agree, ”Alright, but you must have lunch with me tomorrow.”

”Okay, I’ll wait in the cafeteria...” Cheng Su said while looking up, suddenly stopping mid-sentence, her mouth gaping in shock.

”What’s wrong?” Ming Xiaofan asked, following her gaze and then froze.

At the school gate, there was a formidable military vehicle parked. In front of it stood an officer in uniform, wearing a military cap, with medals on his chest. His shoulder insignia bore two stars. He leaned against the vehicle, his uniform impeccably crisp, making him look imposing and resolute.

When that man looked over, Ming Xiaofan nearly went weak in the knees. His stare was so sharp, carrying a cold scrutiny and warning that, with just one glance, made you feel a shiver deep inside, his presence remarkably intimidating.

”Qi Taiguo, you’re back!”

Ming Xiaofan watched as his usually quiet and serene junior sister suddenly turned into a cheerful little bird, rushing toward the officer with unprecedented enthusiasm.

And that officer, the sharpness and sternness he had just shown, completely vanished upon seeing Cheng Su rush over, replaced by a tenderness brimming with affection.
