To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Lin Qingping couldn't help but glance at it several times.

I have to say, Gu Juncheng is really handsome! He's handsome in civilian clothes and in military uniform, but the way he's relaxed yet upright, the way he exudes confidence and poise, is something she's never seen in her past life.

Gu Juncheng was very perceptive. When Lin Qingping was staring at him, he suddenly turned around and caught her gaze.

"What are you looking at?" He asked with a very serious expression.

Lin Qingping was looking around for an excuse when she suddenly noticed that he wasn't wearing the sweater she had knitted for him under his coat, but rather a black one.

"Xiao Lin! Xiao Lin!"

Just then, Lei Sufang's voice came from outside.

"They're here!" Lin Qingping opened the door and saw Lei Sufang waving from outside.

"Are you ready?"

It turned out that Lei Sufang had gone along as well.

"Alright, shall we go?" Lin Qingping turned to ask Gu Juncheng.

Gu Juncheng nodded. "Let's go."

So, Gu Juncheng accompanied her, and Lao Chen accompanied Lei Sufang; the four of them went out together.

They said they were going sightseeing, but they didn't go very far; they just stayed in the town where the military base was located.

Lei Sufang was in high spirits and bought a lot of things, such as clothes, hats, scarves, candy, and snacks. Old Chen followed behind, carrying bags full of things.

Lin Qingping was also very enthusiastic and accompanied Lei Sufang to pick out things, but she only bought some ingredients needed to make cakes and desserts.

Gu Juncheng, carrying a pile of groceries, asked curiously, "You only bought this?"

"Ok!"

Gu Juncheng looked at her happy face and didn't know what to say. Did she really need to come all the way to town to buy these things?

Seeing her smilingly carry a small basket of hawthorns, she exclaimed, "And this too!"

Gu Juncheng: ...

Even Lei Sufang teased her, "Xiao Lin, are you really not going to buy anything else? You really know how to save money for your Commander Gu!"

Lin Qingping chuckled, "I have plenty of other things at home. I'm only staying here for a while. It would be troublesome for me to carry too much stuff back with me."

She glanced at Gu Juncheng, thinking to herself: I didn't tell you about spending a fortune on 500 pieces of clothing in one go, afraid it would scare you...

After wandering around town for half a day, the four of them found a restaurant and had a meal. It was afternoon when they returned to the army base.

Just as he put his things down, Xiao Tian arrived, looking for Gu Juncheng and asking him to attend a meeting.

Gu Juncheng quickly changed into his military uniform and followed Xiao Tian.

Lin Qingping didn't take it seriously and slowly tidied up her things. However, the meeting went on until late at night before Gu Juncheng returned.

When he returned, Gu Juncheng looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qingping was making whipped cream, which was the most time-consuming part of making a cake for her. She thought it would be better to finish it tonight so that she could just use it when she went to Lei Sufang's house tomorrow.

"Lin Qingping." He walked over and took her hand on the shoulder.

"Just tell me what's wrong! You're making me so anxious." Lin Qingping felt nervous.

Since her rebirth, the thought of Gu Juncheng's sacrifice has been a huge shadow hanging over her mind. She always tells herself not to think about it, not to think about it, but it always pops up unexpectedly at some moment, disturbing her peace.

"Lin Qingping, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Lin Qingping didn't know how to describe her feelings. She was definitely disappointed, but she knew the nature of his work and understood him, so she tried to smile and say lightly, "I thought something serious had happened. You scared me. Be careful!"

"Hmm." He tightened his grip on her shoulder. "My mission this time will be quite long."

Lin Qingping understood; her visit to her relatives was probably coming to an end.

Although she was reluctant to part with them, she still smiled easily, at least on the surface, "It's okay, it's fine. I've been thinking about home too, and I'm worried about my second sister and Zhiyuan."

"Zhiyuan, thank you for your hard work," he said.

Lin Qingping shook her head. "What's wrong with that? He's very well-behaved. By the way, what time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Early in the morning."

"Then tomorrow night at Lei Sufang's house..."

“Well, I can’t participate, and Lao Chen is leaving too,” he said. “But if you’d like, it would be nice if you and your family members could hang out together.”

"Oh, I see..." Lin Qingping smiled. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll take care of it myself. You can just focus on carrying out your mission. Um... I'm a heavy sleeper, so please make sure to wake me up so I can see you off, okay?"

"it is good."

There was an awkward atmosphere, a forced smile.

Lin Qingping was unwilling to accept this arrangement and handed him the chopsticks and bowl. "Then, could you please help me whip up some milk tonight, Commander Gu?"

Without saying a word, Gu Juncheng took it and asked, "How do I do it?"

"It's very simple. Just keep beating the eggs with chopsticks like you're beating them. Stop when I say stop."

I will stop when I say stop.

Just like that day when Gu Juncheng was scolding her and made her recite the text: He doesn't allow you to stop, so you can't stop.

Lin Qingping joked with a smile, "Tomorrow, will word spread that Commander Gu spent the whole night helping his wife crack eggs?"

Gu Juncheng smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter if word gets out."

He had a strong hand and fast hand speed, making him at least three times faster than Lin Qingping. The two talked and finished the game in no time. After repeating it several times, Lin Qingping put it outside and covered it with a lid. The outside temperature was low, just like a refrigerator.

Since he was leaving the next day, Lin Qingping didn't dare to keep him from resting. After washing up, the two went to bed early.

Lin Qingping was very honest. To be precise, she had been very honest ever since she had her unspeakable suspicions about him, so as not to touch his sore spot. Tonight, she tried her best not to speak and let him rest well.

However, unexpectedly, he spoke in the darkness.

"Lin Qingping, I'm so sorry," he said.

Why do you say that?

Lin Qingping immediately realized that he had concealed the fact that he was unable to do so.

She's already been reborn, so why would she care about this!

She immediately turned around to face him and comforted him, "Juncheng, you really shouldn't think like that. I've said it before, I don't care about this. It's good for us to be soulmates..."

He's going on a mission tomorrow, so I need to make sure he lets go of this mental burden!

"Lin Qingping!" In the darkness, he called her name, his voice tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.

Sigh, she knew he didn't like hearing that...

“Juncheng, even if you punish me by making me recite more today, I still want to say this: put down this mental burden. In my heart, you are a hero, a giant! This little thing really won't affect us…”

"Lin Qingping! Say one more word!" His eyes were like obsidian, burning with rage.

"Jun..."

She couldn't say it; in the darkness, the scorching moisture blocked her from speaking.
