After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

She was off work today and spent her time at home revising the scene again and again until she finally managed to get that heart-wrenching climax right.

Lin Yuyao read the ending of the first volume repeatedly and nodded in satisfaction.

The hook is left open; not being able to see the next volume is an unbearable, agonizing wait.

After finishing, she carefully put the notebook into a file bag and went downstairs to send it by city express mail.

I ran into Fu Huaiyi as soon as I went down the stairs.

I haven't seen him in a long time, it must have been almost a month.

Did he go to some tribulation to undergo? Why is he so thin and dark-skinned from the sun?

Lin Yuyao was taken aback. "Brother Fu? You... have been on another mission recently?"

"Hmm." Fu Huaiyi touched his face, which did seem a bit rough.

She won't mind, will she?

Fu Huaiyi turned to the side unnaturally, like a peacock that had lost its feathers, feeling somewhat inferior in front of her.

"I took on a task and spent almost a month on it. It wasn't very convenient to eat and stay in the mountains."

"That was quite tough."

Fu Huaiyi chuckled and said, "The hard and tiring work is all done by the young people. We are right here in the young generation. We just need to endure a few more years."

This is true.

Lu Jiangting in his previous life was like that. When he was young, he did a lot of hard and dangerous work. Later, as he got older and gained more experience, he lived a very comfortable life.

"Yaoyao, are you going out?"

"Yes," Lin Yuyao said with a smile, waving the file folder in her hand. "I need to send the manuscript to the publisher."

Fu Huaiyi: "I remember Yunhua Publishing House is located in this city. Do we still need to send it by mail?"

“It’s in the city, but it’s not very convenient for us to get there. I have to transfer several times, and it would take me at least four hours to go there and back.” Lin Yuyao said apologetically, “I’m a bit lazy and don’t want to make that trip.”

The key issue is that the transportation cost is more expensive than the postage.

It's expensive and exhausting, and buses these days are so crowded they can kill you.

Although it was October, it was still a bit hot, and she didn't want to suffer like that.

Fu Huaiyi understood. "That is indeed troublesome. Do you want to go? If you do, I'll take you. I drove here."

"No need, I don't want to go."

"Then... I'll go to the post office with you."

But when she looked at the dark circles under his eyes, it seemed like he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

"You've just returned from a mission, you should go back and rest first."

"It's alright. I haven't had a break for almost a month. My vacation days are cumulative. I've been resting these past few days."

After saying that, he walked ahead on his own, and she couldn't refuse him anymore.

Lin Yuyao jogged to catch up.

The post office is nearby, about a 10-minute walk away.

After filling out the form, Lin Yuyao handed over the postage and the sealed document bag to the other party, casually asking, "Comrade, it should arrive tomorrow, right?"

"I can't guarantee that, maybe tomorrow or the day after."

Lin Yuyao: "..." I sent it by express mail.

Sigh! The delivery service at this time of year...

Decades from now, she can simply call a delivery person.

"If you're in a hurry, you can deliver it yourself."

"No, tomorrow or the day after is fine, I'm not in a hurry."

The other person rolled their eyes at her and said nothing, but Lin Yuyao understood what they meant from their gaze.

Not only could they not guarantee the mailing time, but their attitude was also terrible.

Well, it's alright, at least they didn't directly swear at anyone.

After sending the package, Lin Yuyao suddenly remembered that the pen Fu Huaiyi had given her seemed to be very expensive.

When she got back, she said, "Brother Fu, don't close the door. I'll come down to find you in a bit."

"Ah."

"I'll be right there." With that, she hurriedly ran upstairs.

Fu Huaiyi's heart raced with joy, and he nervously clenched his fists.

Thinking of something, he hurriedly opened the door and windows to ventilate the room.

I haven't been back for a month. The house is stuffy and hot.

After opening the window, he hurriedly turned on the fan.

With this breeze, the air in the room feels a bit fresher.

Wait a minute, it seems he has a gift to give her.

Fu Huaiyi took a box out of his pocket. Inside was a bracelet made from a piece of wood that he had obtained by chance while working in the mountains. He had polished it himself.

Hearing her footsteps as she came downstairs, Fu Huaiyi quickly hid the bracelet.

Let's talk about it later.

At this moment, Lin Yuyao came downstairs, carrying a small, pretty cloth bag.

It's obviously handmade, not bought.

Is she... going to give me a gift?

Fu Huaiyi was somewhat excited.

"Brother Fu, the pen you gave me last time..."

Oh, I gave her a fountain pen, and he gave me a small bag that she sewed herself?

Lin Yuyao opened the pencil case and took out the fountain pen inside.

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from Sister Qin that this pen is very expensive. It wasn't issued by your company, was it?"

Fu Huaiyi pursed his lips.

Lin Yuyao said, "I've thought about it, and I can't accept such an expensive gift from you, so..." She handed over the pen.

Fu Huaiyi's heart finally settled. He opened his mouth and said, "Just take what I gave you. It has nothing to do with money."

"But it's so expensive..."

“It’s not expensive.” He pushed her hand back and said, “With me, you deserve the best.”

what?

Lin Yuyao stared at him blankly.

So she deserves the best. So she's not some country woman who can be easily dismissed. She can also enjoy good things like other people.

It's hateful that Lu Jiangting always manipulated her in her past life, saying that she shouldn't compare herself to those women in the city, and that the women in the countryside were hardworking, simple, took good care of their children, and were filial to their elders, which were the good virtues.

Military spouses should help soldiers take care of the home front; this is how they serve the country and their families.

They even said that women in the city who wear bright red lipstick and miniskirts are not respectable women.

Her rough, calloused hands, the result of her hard work, are a symbol of her diligence and virtue, and a source of pride.

Glory's mother, but she remembered that Fang Qing's hands were fair and tender. Later, when things got better, she wore bright red lipstick and slit skirts.

What did Lu Jiangting say back then?

He said that her husband had been dead for so many years, and she dressed up beautifully because she was still looking for a partner.

You're dressed so beautifully, are you looking for a partner too?

One sentence shut her down.

She was probably upset thinking about that bastard Lu Jiangting, and her expression wasn't very pleasant.

Fu Huaiyi thought she was angry, so he hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you. I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so I said it was from my workplace."

Lin Yuyao withdrew her hand, gave a slight smile, and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing. This pen is very nice; I like it very much. This is the most valuable and precious gift I've ever received. Thank you."

Fu Huaiyi chuckled, looking at the pencil case she had sewn, and said, "Can I have this?"

what?

"I just sewed this myself, it's not worth much. I'll buy you a better one later."

“Nothing bought outside can compare to something sewn by yourself. Every stitch and every thread is your hard work, and I want it.”
