Lin Nan’s voice could be heard coming from the outside.
Li Ran immediately got up. She quickly opened the door.
Before Lin Nan could even enter the room, Li Ran hugged him.
He smelled really good, just like always.
Li Ran kept hugging her husband and refused to let go.
Lin Nan hugged her back tightly as well.
It was almost autumn. The weather was getting cold.
Lin Nan was afraid that his wife would catch a cold.
He lifted Li Ran up and closed the door with his foot.
Then, he placed her on the bed.
Lin Nan looked at the bedsheet, blanket, and pillow. Everything was changed to suit a pregnant woman.
Li Ran did not expect to use those things so soon. However, her stomach had grown significantly bigger and it had affected her sleep.
“Did you find these when you were scavenging outside?”
Lin Nan was rather surprised. He did not expect Li Ran to be so well prepared.
Li Ran nodded and said, “I found them in a shop.”
“It seems like your trip was full of harvest. My wife is really amazing.”
While he was praising her, Lin Nan also felt a little sad.
After all, he barely helped with the child. Furthermore, they were separated for a long time and he did not protect her properly.
Lin Nan blamed himself for being an incompetent husband.
Li Ran saw his expression and said bitterly, “Hubby, why do you look so solemn when you’re praising me?”
Lin Nan tried to control his emotions. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Oh right, try not to eat alone anymore. I’ll bring you food and we can eat together.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Li Ran blinked her starry eyes. She imagined the whimsical days ahead.
Lin Nan patted her head. He sighed softly, “It’s all my fault. I barely accompanied you and even let you suffer outside.”
“Hubby, it’s okay. I don’t blame you at all.”
If her husband was always by her side, Li Ran would not want to do anything but spend time with him!
Lin Nan paused and said, “I have to go out for the next few days but once I’ve returned, I’ll look for you.”
‘Perfect! This means I can accept a mission tomorrow!’
“When will you be back?”
Lin Nan narrowed his eyes and said helplessly, “It depends on the situation. I failed to produce results with the experimental drug, so I have to look for Senda.”
Li Ran comforted him, “Just do your best. I believe in you.”
Lin Nan smiled bitterly.
“In the past, I was doing it for the country. However, now I’m doing it for us.”
Li Ran did not understand what he meant.
The conversation between the two of them became a little awkward. It was no longer about the happiness of reuniting. Instead, the experimental drug became the main topic.
Despite that, Li Ran tried not to overthink.
She continued to comfort her husband.
“This matter involves everyone. Don’t shoulder all the burden by yourself. I’m here for you. Let’s work together for a brighter future, okay?”
“The only thing you need to do is be happy. Do you feel bored staying here?”
Lin Nan asked straightforwardly.
Li Ran was bored, but she had tried her best to keep herself occupied.
She shook her head and said in a serious tone, “The world has changed. Life is different now..”
