Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When she came out of the office building, the sky had already fallen silent.
Qin Su walked down the stairs and raised her head to look at the somewhat silent sky. She took a deep breath and felt a cool breeze enter her throat. She could not help but cough twice. After a while, she finally felt a little better.
A moment later, she also walked straight to her car. She got into the car calmly and drove away on her own.
The car shuttled through the vast night. The car sped along, and the road was very quiet. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind rustling could be heard as the car drove past. The car window was also opened, and the night breeze continued to pour in, there was a hint of refreshing feeling that was not felt in the day.
Occasionally, there would be the shadow of one or two speeding cars flashing by, and the entire wide road was very quiet.
Qin Su drove at a very high speed. The breeze that blew in became even stronger and faster, causing her bangs to become very messy.
Personal problems?
Personal problems again!
She could not help but feel a headache coming on. Why did she have to solve her personal problems?
In their line of work, it was really not easy to find a solid partner to marry. How many people could tolerate their partner staying in the military for most of their lives? Especially Qin Su, who had originally planned to stay in the military her whole life.
She admitted that she did not have the mood to care about family matters. Last month, Commander Li and Instructor Fang both divorced at the same time. Commander Gao’s wife simply cheated on him, and they had gone to court, she really did not have the confidence to manage such a marriage herself.
Moreover, was it not the same situation at home?
Thinking of this, Qin Su suddenly felt a little tired and helpless.
Twenty-eight!
Yes, in such an awkward age, she had nothing.
She was even a little afraid to go home and face her resolute and inflexible father. As for her mother…
She did not even know why they got married in the first place. They quarreled and ridiculed each other. After quarreling for most of their lives, she had never seen them loving each other. Therefore, she could only flee far away, far away from the battlefield that was filled with smoke and gunpowder.
Sometimes, Qin Su thought, since the two of them were torturing each other, why did they not mention splitting up?
Could it be because of her, their daughter?
What a joke!
They were both selfish people. They would never consider her in their decisions.
After being transferred back from the Northwest Military Region for so long, she had actually not gone home. She had always stayed in the military region, though she might have to go back today…
She was not a fool. It was obvious that her being transferred back from the Northwest Military Region was her father’s idea. He had always been like this, and he was used to using his own tough methods to do things, perhaps it was because people who were used to giving orders were all like this.
When the car drove into the military region’s courtyard, it was already past eight o’clock at night. The sky was completely dark. Every household in the courtyard had turned on their lights. When the car drove past the clean cement path, one could still hear the laughter coming from the houses.
However, such laughter only belonged to others, and Qin Su had never experienced it before.
Very soon, the car stopped in front of a bungalow.
The bungalow was quite new. Although it was not very big, it looked very clean and warm. The outer courtyard was quite big, and it was surrounded by metal fences. The front courtyard was filled with green gra.s.s and flowers.
There was a parking s.p.a.ce outside the courtyard. Qin Su parked the car in the parking s.p.a.ce. There was a military jeep next to it. It was her father’s car, and the other car was her mother’s.
Standing outside the door from afar, she could already see the lights in the house, but it looked a little lonely.
Qin Su got out of the car, locked it, then strode home with her luggage bag.
Just as she pushed the door open, a tensed and familiar smell of gunpowder filled the air—
The house was eerily silent.
She stood at the door and scanned the empty living room. Soon, she saw her father, Qin Yi, on the sofa in the living room, eating with a large bowl in his hand!
“Let me tell you, Mei Xiaoyue, I will never starve to death if you don’t cook! At worst, I will go to the canteen in the military district tomorrow to settle it. You still have reason with you. It’s because of your bad temper that your daughter won’t come home! How old are you? Every time you quarrel, you don’t cook. Don’t you see that I don’t know how to cook? Do you really think that I like your cooking? Childish!”
“I’m childish? Why don’t you say that you’re childish? If you’re so great then don’t expect me to cook for you in the future. Every time, it’s like feeding a rice bucket! I’m so angry. How could I marry a sloppy and hateful person like you! I just wanted to change the chandelier in the house. How is it bothering you? How is it bothering you?!”
As soon as Qin Yi’s voice fell, her mother Mei Xiaoyue’s voice came from upstairs.
“There’s something wrong with your aesthetic sense. The original warm white light was so good, but you insisted on changing it to this d.a.m.n blue light. Even if you don’t find it creepy, I find it creepy. It annoys me!”
“Qin Yi! You old b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You’re so selfish. Do you have to be satisfied with all the furnishings in the house? Are you the only one living here?”
“I’m selfish? You’re the selfish one! You lost your temper and didn’t even cook, and you have the nerve to say that! Just now when Old Zhang came over, you really made me lose face! Now he knows that we have such a fierce woman in the house!”
“I’m the tigress? If you’re so great then go find a gentle little girl! Go ahead! Aiyo, I can’t live like this anymore…”
“If you can’t then don’t!”
…
It was a very familiar scene, a constant argument. If one would not compromise, the other would not back down.
Qin Su was too familiar with this scene.
She took a deep breath, walked in, and turned around to close the door.
;Bang!’
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qin Yi, who was eating dinner on the sofa, immediately turned his head. His sharp eyes swept across the room. When he saw Qin Su’s figure, his tense and serious face relaxed—
“Xiao Su is back!”
Qin Su threw her backpack onto the sofa and sat down tiredly. She glanced at the big bowl in her father’s hand—
It seemed to be filled with leftovers. From the looks of it, it should have been left over from the afternoon.
“Mother isn’t cooking again?”
Her hoa.r.s.e voice sounded very calm. “Every time I come back, I see you guys arguing. Don’t you guys get tired?”
“That was her doing. She insisted on making things difficult for me. She knows that I don’t like those d.a.m.n things, I felt chills all over my body just by looking at it. She insisted on making the house such a mess. Let me tell you, your mother is too scheming. She clearly wants to drive me away and ditch me. Do you think I don’t understand her childish thoughts? Hmph!”
As Qin Yi spoke, he could not help but gnash his teeth. “Your mother is definitely going through menopause. Her temper is simply out of control recently. Just now when your Uncle Zhang came over, she was being defiant and didn’t consider my feelings at all!”
