Chapter 1668: I’ll Accompany You (1)
EndlessFantasy Translation
After Qin Su said this, Su Chen suddenly paused…
He frowned slightly and followed her gaze. His handsome face was also somewhat gloomy.
“As for those so-called skills from before, I might not be able to use them now.”
Qin Su’s tone was cold and indifferent, not much different from before. However, Su Chen seemed to be able to catch a hint of desolation as he listened.
“I’m sorry,” Su Chen suddenly said.
Qin Su did not say anything. She just lowered her head and continued to drink the tea in her hand.
“Why don’t you consider changing careers? In the future, with your conditions, you should be able to find a very good unit.”
Su Chen did not approve of women working too hard. Life in the army was not free. In fact, it was not very suitable for women, especially for girls like Qin Su. Even if he was standing in the position of a friend, he did not approve of Qin Su staying in the army all the time.
“We’ll see how many years it takes. It’s not time yet.”
In fact, Qin Su had never thought of changing her career. This was because ever since she was sensible, she had been influenced by life in the army. She had long been used to this kind of life, so she did not feel that it was too different, she had not really come into contact with the outside world. Of course, this did not mean that she did not understand. After all, she had been undercover for several years. She had experienced all kinds of situation.
In this way, she did not feel that the outside world was really that great. It was better to be quiet in the army. Just like when she was a student, she lived her life in school. Only when she left school and truly integrated into society did she realize the cruelty of society.
…
When she left Imperial Sky Entertainment City, it was already past one o’clock in the morning. Qin Su and Officer Xiao Xu returned straight to the Military District, while Su Chen went straight home.
He had been coming back very late these few days, but Ji Zitong had left a light for him.
It was the same tonight.
Driving the car through the door, he could see the bright lights in the living room from afar. The lights in the study on the second floor were still vaguely lit, so she probably had not slept yet.
Su Chen parked the car steadily, then got out of the car with his briefcase and walked straight home.
The house was quiet. He changed his shoes, drank a glass of water, and went upstairs.
He took off his tie and pushed open the study room door. When he entered, Ji Zitong was indeed in front of the desk. However, she had already fallen asleep on the desk—
She was dressed in a soft beige nightgown. Her hair draped over her shoulders, and she was sound asleep.
Even when Su Chen walked to her side, she did not wake up.
Su Chen stood there and looked at her silently for a while. He then took a deep breath and bent down to pick her up. He then walked towards the bedroom.
Ji Zitong did not wake up after being placed on the soft bed. She turned and continued to sleep.
“If you can’t stay up late then no need to wait on me, after all, my home is here…”
Su Chen brushed her messy hair with his slender and rough fingers. He then tucked her in and covered her with a thin blanket before he went to the bathroom.
Ji Zitong was dazed in her sleep as well. She seemed to be able to hear the sound of water in her trance. After struggling for a while, she opened her eyes. Her eyes were drowsy. When she heard the sound beside her ear, she turned to look at the bathroom, the lights inside were still on.
His tie and clothes were tossed onto the chair on the side.
Ji Zitong combed through her messy hair and pulled the blanket aside to get out of bed.
…
When Su Chen came out of the bathroom, Ji Zitong was tidying up the clothes he had tossed aside.
“Did I wake you up?” Su Chen asked as he combed through his half-dried black hair. He was wearing a dark-colored robe.
“Why did you come home so late? You get later by the day, your bureau is not
so
busy, is it?” Ji Zitong picked up the clothes and placed them in a basket on the side as she asked.
“It’ll get better in a few days. I’ve been a little busy recently.”
“Do you want to eat something? Did you eat outside again?” Ji Zitong asked with concern.
“I bumped into a former comrade. She’s a woman named Qin Su. We used to go on missions together. Ah Chen and Zimo know her too, so we went to Imperial Sky Entertainment City together.” Su Chen leisurely tied the sash around his waist as he said this.
“Woman? When did you become so intimate with a woman? Aren’t you worried that I’ll overthink?”
Ji Zitong glanced at him with a meaningful look in her eyes.
Su Chen did not even look at her. He sat down by the bed and asked in a deep voice, “Would you?”
As he spoke, he turned to look at her.
“What do you think?”
Ji Zitong stood where she was and stared at him silently.
Su Chen smiled and retracted his gaze. He lowered his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ve never been able to guess what you women are thinking, so I don’t want to guess anymore. It’s better to just ask you directly.”
“You’re always so direct, no fun at all.”
“Fun? What is that? You can’t expect me to hang a declaration of love for you in the building across the street and then show up with a big bouquet of roses to confess to you. Is that what you would call fun?”
Su Chen raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at her.
“I can’t bring myself to do that. Those young people are impulsive for love. I’m a mature old man, and you’re not a little girl. If you tell me, what fun can we talk about? If I really do that, you might think that I’m acting and showing off.”
Su Chen was a person who hit the nail on the head. He was right.
“I didn’t say that. I just feel like we’ve been married for so long and it’s too peaceful. We’re like plain water without much anticipation.”
As Ji Zitong spoke, she sat down next to him.
“Anticipation? Are you feeling unhappy?”
Su Chen immediately frowned and looked at her.
Ji Zitong, on the other hand, shook her head. “Not really. You’re very good to me. Father, mother, and grandfather are also very lovely, I just think that we… actually, I went to the hospital for a checkup last month.”
“Hmm? What did the doctor say?” Su Chen sat upright as he asked.
Ji Zitong lifted a hand and touched her lower abdomen. She was a little puzzled as she said, “The doctor said that my emotions aren’t very stable. It’s also possible that our lives are lacking some kind of passion, so…”

“Nonsense! When have I not worked so hard to make you faint, your life lacks passion? Would a life lacking passion do that? Don’t believe those doctors’nonsense. It’s just that your body hasn’t recovered properly and you’re too stressed. Tomorrow, I’ll tell mother to give you a month’s vacation. When we’re done with this busy period, we’ll go out.”
“On a trip?” Ji Zitong’s beautiful eyes lit up as she asked expectantly.
“Mmm, is there anywhere you want to go?”
“Where I want to go? How about the beach…”
