After Marrying the Officer

Xia Chuyi was buried in Huo Shiqian's arms, taking two deep breaths to soak in his scent, and said, "Uncle Liberation Army, goodbye."

Huo Shiqian: ...

This girl... always so playful.

Ah well, as they were about to part, he couldn't be bothered to correct her anymore.

Because after this farewell, who knows when they would meet again.

It was time for the train to depart.

"Chuyi, goodbye," Huo Shiqian said, releasing her.

"Mhm," Xia Chuyi looked at him and nodded.

Sending someone off for a thousand miles inevitably leads to a parting.

Watching the tall, army-green figure walk away, Xia Chuyi couldn't help but reminisce about the past... it seemed that it had always been him leaving, and her seeing him off.

She felt a pang: this must be the heartache of a military wife.

Since she had decided to marry a soldier, this awareness should have come to her sooner.

You can do this, Xia Chuyi, hurry up and complete your credits, graduate early!

She encouraged herself silently.

To see off Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi, and her group arrived at the train station early.

After Huo Shiqian left with his troops, they waited for over an hour before it was their turn to board.

"Miss Xia, let's board the train," said the person sent by the Guo family, picking up the heavy luggage and addressing Xia Chuyi.

"Alright," Xia Chuyi nodded, supporting the Master's wife, and said to Mr. Guan, "Master, let's board."

"Mhm," Mr. Guan nodded.

The group, holding their tickets, went through the check and boarded the train.

On the train, a female attendant, who had been informed in advance, greeted them and led them directly to the sleeper cars.

"This is your berth. There's water available at both ends of the car, and meals will be sold from the dining car in the morning, afternoon, and evening. If you prefer, you can visit Car 5, which is the dining car," the attendant briefly explained the train arrangements to Xia Chuyi and others, "I need to get back to work now, but if you need anything, feel free to call me."

"Thank you!" Xia Chuyi expressed her gratitude.

Right after they settled down, Xia Chuyi heard a commotion outside the compartment.

"Travel conditions in Country Z are really terrible!" a young female voice said in English, "Jackson, why didn't we just take a plane?"

Jackson?

That name sounds so familiar.

Xia Chuyi thought to herself: Surely it's not that unfortunate to run into those fake foreigner siblings?

Soon, a male voice replied in English, "Annie, this was arranged by the government, I couldn't really refuse."

Annie?

Ah, a name coincidence is possible once, but twice, and both in English.

Then, the people outside talking must be the fake foreigner siblings.

"What's there to not refuse? We could have just paid our own way! Jackson, I think you just don't want to spend your own money!" Annie's voice outside was full of disdain.

"Jackson, can you not look a bit farther into the future?"

The English conversation outside continued.

"It's true, the family business is doing worse than before, we aren't as wealthy as we used to be."

"But this trip to Country Z, if we find Third Uncle and get a share of the family wealth, we'll become wealthy again..."

Xia Chuyi slightly frowned and shook her head, finding Annie's tone and attitude quite irritating.

However, it didn't really concern her; the sleeper compartment had a door, and she could just avoid these bothersome fake foreigner siblings.

"Chuyi, what's wrong?" Seeing her continually shaking her head, the Master's wife suddenly asked with concern.
