Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Moreover, imagining him sitting in an office, doing paperwork, or preparing to climb the ladder to some cutthroat position, he still feels like it's better the way it is now.

Chiang Xiao snickered.

"I knew you wouldn't choose to leave the team, and I never thought about it, because I would worry about you making you leave the team." She looked at Meng Xinian and said seriously, "Besides, I think you look really handsome when you're on a mission."

Really.

Meng Xinian felt a weight lift off his mind, and at the same time, he felt he shouldn't have been puzzled about this. How could Chiang Xiaoxiao be the kind of person who would hold him back because she was scared?

"I will train harder and be more careful in the future. For you, I will also try to avoid danger as much as possible."

"Why is it for me," Chiang Xiao grasped his hand, gently stroking the calluses on his palm, and said, "For yourself."

"No, everything about me is yours, so it's for you."

When Meng Xinian said this, an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart.

Boundless loneliness, boundless regret.

That feeling made him shiver suddenly.

Chiang Xiao saw his slight change in expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Was he reminded of something?

Meng Xinian slowly exhaled and said, "It's nothing." He looked at her and couldn't help but pull her into his arms.

"Sometimes I always feel like having you is a bit unreal."

For some reason, he occasionally has this unreal feeling, always thinking he was meant to be alone for a lifetime.

Chiang Xiao, with her face pressed against his chest, was somewhat stunned as she listened to him.

Could it be that Meng Xinian occasionally has feelings from a past life?

What Ah Liu said before, she hasn't figured it out yet, not knowing exactly what it is.

"Isn't this real enough?" She laughed, "Do you want me to pinch you?"

Meng Xinian whispered in her ear, "I think it would only feel real after getting married."

Right now, he hasn't fully had her yet.

Chiang Xiao was speechless for a moment and truly pinched him at the waist, pulling away from his embrace, glaring at him, "You can say that anywhere."

"Who heard it?"

Thinking about their upcoming marriage made Meng Xinian feel that these days were dragging on endlessly, especially during these days in Country Y.

He couldn't wait to finish the mission and return home, to get to the New Year, to finally reach the wedding day.

However, he also knew this wasn't the place for private conversations, it was just a momentary lapse of restraint that made him say this, and after that, he didn't say any more.

Chiang Xiao asked, "Was that person earlier your new teammate?"

"Yes, Wu Lingyun, a mechanic, very skillful."

Chiang Xiao nodded.

"Jun Weichi probably offended many people, right?"

Meng Xinian frowned and said, "We need to investigate the institutions she was previously employed by, something seems off."

"You all be careful."

Chiang Xiao said, "I should also head back to the hotel. The results of the first round of the competition should be out soon, and if we pass, my teacher and I will stay at Mr. Wen Li's manor, which is over an hour and a half drive from here."

"Then there's probably no chance to meet again." Meng Xinian sighed.

"Yeah, then let's meet when we get home."

"Okay, don't worry about me, just focus on painting."

After they had talked enough, Liu Guoying walked back slowly, clearly having deliberately given them time to be alone.

When Meng Xinian left, he made sure to thank him.
