After the wedding, the two stayed in Ningcheng for several days.

First, I visited all the relatives of both Li and Ye families.

Then get together with old classmates and friends whom I haven’t seen for a long time.

He actually took a day off and invited Zhou Tingfang and Gao Lei to come to Li's house, along with Li Sheng and Zhang Kexin.

The three musketeers of Haoyue have now found their ideal partners and become married.

Maybe when we meet again in a few years, our children will be able to form a new Three Musketeers.

A few good friends chatted and played together all day long.

Zhou Tingfang sipped fruit tea and sat in the pavilion, sighing comfortably, "This is what life is all about. Chengcheng, you must not be like me, married and having children right away, then being tied down at home and losing your freedom. Today, we snuck out while the baby was out playing with his mom."

Zhou Tingfang became pregnant not long after getting married, and is now the mother of a one and a half year old baby.

After giving birth, I stayed at home to take care of my child full-time, so I sighed like this.

Qian Cencheng smiled and said, "We don't plan to have a child so soon. Maybe we should wait two or three years."

She and Li Xiao had briefly discussed this issue before, and since neither of them wanted to have a child right away, they tacitly agreed not to bring it up again.

Zhou Tingfang voted in favor, "That's the way it should be. You're still young, enjoy your two-person world for a few years first, and then it won't be too late to have another child later."

Qian Cencheng hasn't returned to Ningcheng for many years.

After meeting relatives and friends with Li Xiao, she excitedly took Li's mother and went out to have fun.

It really completely fulfilled Li's mother's wish.

As for the eight guards who followed her, Li's mother said that once she got used to it, she could just ignore them.

Li Xiao was left at home by the mother and daughter, staring blankly at Li's father.

Traveling with big stars is extremely risky, and they don’t like to take him out with them!

This caused Li Xiao to often perform beyond his normal level at night, so that Qian Cencheng could no longer get up early in the morning for morning training.

Qian Cencheng also indulged him.

The research project was about to close, and both knew that these were the only few days they would have together.

After spending Li Xiao’s birthday at her parents’ home, the couple flew back to Beijing.

Time quickly came to the day before Qian Cencheng's research project team went into the mountains for retreat.

That day, the two of them didn't go anywhere and stayed at home all day long.

They don't have to be responsible for packing the luggage.

Under the persuasion of the whole family, Qian Cencheng agreed to let Zhong Ruoxin join the group in seclusion.

So she took charge of the packing.

So that Qian Cencheng and Li Xiao can have more time alone before they part.

The two are still in their honeymoon period, but they are about to be separated for a long time.

My family members are very understanding.

You can think they are annoying no matter what, they will never complain today.

Qian Cencheng basically did not go out to walk on her own throughout the day, except for morning training. It was Li Xiao who carried her around.

It was late at night and moonlight shone into the room through the curtains.

After a passionate intimate moment, Qian Cencheng and Li Xiao hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge each other into their bodies.

Their breaths intertwined, and soon they couldn't help but kiss again.

Every kiss is filled with reluctance and affection.

Li Xiao gently stroked Qian Cencheng's hair and whispered, "I really want to keep you by my side no matter what."

Qian Cencheng buried her face in his arms, "You wouldn't do this to me."

Li Xiao: Of course not, this is your ideal, your journey.

And I am proud to have a partner like you.

But the reluctance is also real.

"You know me well. How long do you expect me to be in seclusion? Or will it be like last time, where I can only contact my family once every six months?"

"Yes, I estimate it will take two years at most. Actually, I've almost completed the early stages of research and development for this project. The reason we switched from single-player mode to forming a project team is to complete the tedious series of verification and drug development as quickly as possible. There's strength in numbers, right?"

"Then Professor Cen, I will wait for your triumphant return at home."

"Then I'll lend you some good words."

The next morning, the project team set out from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and headed for the military airport.

All the luggage has been packed and loaded onto the bus.

It's finally time to say goodbye.

Li Xiao kept explaining various trivial matters to the girl.

She also specifically told Zhong Ruoxin, "Sister, I'll leave Chengcheng in your care. Although her menstrual period has improved a lot, she should still eat less cold food, especially in the summer. When she's under a lot of work pressure, make more spicy dishes for her to stimulate her appetite."

Zhong Ruoxin smiled and replied, "Okay. I've got it all in mind. Li Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Chengcheng."

Qian Cencheng took Li Xiao's hand and held it tightly, his eyes full of reluctance. "When I'm not around, you have to take good care of yourself."

Li Xiao gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Don't worry, just focus on your research. I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

There are always endless words of farewell.

When the time came, Dean Qin came over and asked Qian Cencheng to get on the car and set off.

Seeing the convoy gradually driving away, Li Xiao waved his hand and watched for a long time.

Next to him was the Chinese Academy of Sciences' chief steward, Qin Yuan.

After a long pause, Qin Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Go back. It just so happens that your master asked you to go look for her."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll be right there."

After sending Chengcheng away, he was about to join the group.

The master should be looking for me to talk about the new play.

Some time ago, when he was studying the script, he asked his master about some doubts about the new play.

When I got there, it turned out to be the case.

But before the master answered his questions, the master and the apprentice had a conversation like this:

"Have you sent Orange away?"

"Well, just left."

"Li Xiao, the test for you two has just begun. Chengcheng has her own path to walk and her own mission to fulfill. From now on, long periods of separation like this will become the norm for you two. Are you afraid?"

"Master, I'm not afraid. I thought all this out clearly before I started with Chengcheng. And two years actually went by very quickly. I took on a few dramas and threw myself into the crew. Time flew by, didn't it?"

"You're right to think that way. Actually, in our industry, for ordinary office workers, couples spend several months together once they join the team, and they're often apart. But for researchers like Chengcheng, this is just right. As long as they coordinate well, a couple can actually have a very harmonious relationship."

"Yes, I still have a lot to learn from you on this point."

"There's nothing to teach you. As long as you two work together, you'll always find your own rhythm in life. Remember, being independent and open-minded is the fundamental requirement for a research partner. The road ahead is long. If you ever feel lost, come and talk to Master."

"Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you, Master."

After leaving his master's house, Li Xiao sent a message to the work group.

Li Xiao: [Official announcement: The emergency plan has officially been launched.]

Han Chunli: [Got it, Boss.]

Li Sheng: [Got it, boss.]

Zhang Kexin: [Got it, boss.]
