Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Pulling Chestnuts Out of the Fire

That night, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo were passionately entwined until both were exhausted, then they held each other and talked, as if this time of lovemaking were their last.

Cheng Su lay her head on Qi Taiguo’s chest and said, "Everyone says being a military wife is the loneliest, because your husband is always in the army, always on missions, and sometimes you don’t even see each other once a year. It’s really true."

Hearing the slight resentment in her tone, Qi Taiguo kissed her forehead and said, "We’re not that bad, are we? We’re living together now too!"

"It’s lucky we are, but it’s not every day. Look, last time you were gone on a mission for a week or so. We haven’t even been together for a month now, and you’re already saying you’re going to study, for three months, and it’s a closed course, and..." Cheng Su pouted as she spoke.

Qi Taiguo said, "Even though I’ve said it, it doesn’t mean going right away. The official reporting date is early July. By then, your exam results will be out, and I can still celebrate with you, but when you go to college, I won’t be able to send you off!"

The three-month closed training, by the time he finished, would already be October. If Cheng Su got into college, she would have already reported by then.

Thinking of this, Cheng Su hugged him even tighter and said, "Whether you send me off or not doesn’t matter. Just the thought of us not having any news of each other for a few months makes my heart feel stuffed."

If they could occasionally contact each other, like making a phone call, it wouldn’t feel so bad. But not being able to make calls, not hearing each other’s voice, not knowing the situation, that’s what makes it hard.

Especially since no news would come from his side, she only had her baseless thoughts, not knowing what to imagine.

"Don’t overthink it, just think of it as me going on a mission, going to train," Qi Taiguo said, "Rest assured, I’ll study hard and return successfully, not disappointing you."

Cheng Su slightly raised her head and said, "You should know, I wouldn’t be disappointed. It’s you coming back that matters. As for the results, I don’t care."

"Yes, I will definitely come back."

"Also, don’t think I’m being petty, but over there, you need to be extra careful. Nobody knows who’s going to study there, whether there’s someone with the surname Jiang. If they’re deliberately instructed to trip you up, that..." This was Cheng Su’s biggest worry. Jiang Conghe is a commander, and it’s really easy for him to meddle.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Qi Taiguo’s eyes: "I know what you’re saying, don’t worry!"

He had thought about this, but even knowing the difficulties and dangers ahead, he had to take the risk.

Otherwise, if he backed off because of danger, what was the point of being a soldier?

A soldier should be ready to sacrifice for the country at any time, right?

However, Cheng Su was right. Even if he were to sacrifice, it should have value and he absolutely couldn’t die in vain at the hands of some power-hungry villains.

Feeling the weight of the atmosphere, Cheng Su stopped talking about this topic and switched to chatting about family matters, discussing the preparations before his departure, ensuring everything was well-prepared.

"There’s no need to prepare anything for me, the army will prepare everything," Qi Taiguo found it amusing.

Cheng Su didn’t care and kept muttering, so Qi Taiguo let her be until she muttered herself to sleep, and he grew drowsy too.

"Ah!" Cheng Su suddenly woke with a start.

Qi Taiguo’s sleepiness vanished immediately: "What’s wrong?"

"I need to get a peace charm for you to take with you!" Cheng Su said, then closed her eyes and slept like a log again.

Qi Taiguo was amused and exasperated, kissed her on the face, and held her as they slept.
