Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 140 He's back, he's really back!
There's no other reason than that Gu Jianing's appearance was too stunning, her temperament was calm and elegant, and she was shining brightly. As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, making people unable to help but stare at her.

After receiving the award from her superiors, she also had to give an acceptance speech.

Gu Jianing was prepared, and spoke calmly at this moment.

As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously swept across the audience; this must be her habit.

I was just glancing at it when I was about to take it back.

Unexpectedly, I froze when I saw a certain figure.

As she approached the entrance of the auditorium, a familiar figure in military uniform, dressed in a simple gray outfit, as if he had just arrived after a long journey, instantly attracted all of Gu Jianing's attention.

It made her unable to see anyone else.

is it him?
Is it really him?
Gu Jianing was afraid that it was just a hallucination caused by her excessive longing.

Until, from a distance, she saw the man's lips moving, silently saying something.

Even from a distance, Gu Jianing could easily recognize those four words: I'm back!
He is back, he is really back!
At this moment, Gu Jianing was certain that it wasn't a hallucination.

Sheng Zexi has really come back.

Yes, he's gotten darker and thinner, and his facial features have become more defined.

They have never been apart since they got married.

Previously, Zhang Shuwan had asked her if she would feel uncomfortable when Sheng Zexi was away on a mission.

Her answer at the time was: It's okay.

It wasn't until Sheng Zexi left on a mission that she felt unaccustomed to it, and later, she missed him to the extreme.

I miss them, but I'm also worried.

It was then that Gu Jianing realized that, without her noticing, she had already completely placed Sheng Zexi in her heart and was deeply concerned about him.

At this moment, seeing Sheng Zexi standing at the entrance of the auditorium, the longing she had been suppressing in her heart spread wildly like vines, almost uncontrollable.

Gu Jianing suppressed the urge to step down from the stage and rush into his arms.

She blinked, trying to hold back her tears.

She quickly finished her acceptance speech.

After that, she stepped off the stage, her gaze fixed on Sheng Zexi.

Sheng Zexi also walked over slowly, his gaze following his wife on the stage.

It turns out that during the time he was away on missions, his wife was so outstanding that she amazed him and everyone else.

"Wife, I'm back." Sheng Zexi said as he walked up to Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing gazed at him, her eyes filled with tears, and a smile curved her lips. "You're back. It's good that you're back."

A thousand words seemed to converge in their eyes, and their affection lingered between them.

Perhaps because it was a large auditorium with so many people, the two of them had to restrain themselves.

Sheng Zexi took Gu Jianing's hand and sat down.

It turned out that there was another person next to Gu Jianing, but that person knew that Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing were a couple. Now that Sheng Zexi had returned, the lonely man gave up his seat and found another place to sit.

Zhang Shuwan saw Sheng Zexi returning from afar and breathed a sigh of relief, murmuring, "Commander Sheng is finally back, otherwise Jia Ning would have been lovesick."

On stage, the awards ceremony continued.

Finally, the host said, "In the rescue efforts following the landslide in Xinghua Village, there were not only outstanding soldiers, doctors, and nurses like those mentioned earlier..."

"In addition, our military dogs also made a great contribution by tirelessly searching for victims in the heavy rain."

"They, too, deserve recognition."

"Therefore, the outstanding military dogs will also receive awards, so let's present these military dogs with honors."...

Gu Jianing's eyes widened slightly. They really awarded honors to military dogs?
that's nice!

Gu Jianing was very pleased, especially when she saw that Amber was also among the commended military dogs, her eyes welled up with tears.

Amber, and these military dogs, deserve this honor!

On the stage, Amber looked at the medal around its neck, then looked up at Gu Jianing, tears welling up in its eyes.

Amber had never received this honor before.

It wasn't because their performance wasn't outstanding, but because no one had ever awarded military dogs before.

Xiao Duo told it that the reason the military dogs received this honor was because of Gu Jianing.

At this moment, Xiao Duo stood beside Amber, his gaze sweeping over Gu Jianing, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Because Amber was a military dog, and he was Amber's owner.

So he brought amber onto the stage.

Normally, the owner of a military dog ​​would also receive honor for its contributions.

But Xiao Duo knew that this honor did not belong to him.

He also had mixed feelings about Gu Jianing.

At first, Xiao Duo was very happy for Amber when he learned that military dogs could also receive honors.

But when he heard that the suggestion was made by Gu Jianing, his feelings instantly became complicated.

He discovered that he was quite incompetent as the owner and comrade-in-arms of the amber.

When Amber and her unborn child were in danger and facing imminent death, he chose to give up.

Even Gu Jianing was able to offer advice and fight for the honors that Amber deserved, but what about his so-called master and comrade-in-arms?

He had been watching Amber's reactions closely over the past few days.

He knew that Amber was distant from him, and it pained him deeply.

Xiao Duo thought: Perhaps, he wouldn't be able to keep the amber.

Finally, after the awards ceremony ended, Sheng Zexi took Gu Jianing's hand and walked towards the family compound.

Although he was very anxious, he still considered that Gu Jianing was pregnant, so he walked relatively slowly.

Gu Jianing's hand was held tightly in the man's large palm.

Those were hands completely different from a woman's; they were large, dry, and somewhat rough, yet warm in the cold spring weather.

The heat, like ocean waves, surged towards Gu Jianing, enveloping her and warming her body and soul.

On the way, neither of them spoke a word.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Sheng Zexi swiftly closed the door and then took Gu Jianing's hand, leading her into the house.

The next second, before Gu Jianing could react, the man had already turned around and hugged her.

He nuzzled his face against her hair and cheek, his eyes half-closed, absorbing the scent and warmth of his young wife.

A deep, slightly hoarse voice rang in her ears, "Ningning, I miss you so much, so very much."

Sheng Zexi had never missed someone so intensely before.

He had been on missions before, but never before had he longed to return as much as this time.

He didn't expect that this trip would last so long, more than a month.

Sheng Zexi found that he was becoming increasingly inseparable from Gu Jianing.
