On the way back, the two of them chatted and laughed. As soon as they arrived at their residence, they were informed by the guard that Li Shouji had been waiting for them in the house for four hours.
"Four hours?"
Puzzled, Xiaoguo repeated the question.
"Yes, four hours."
The guard's answer was firm. Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe looked at each other. It didn't feel like that much time had passed. How could four hours have passed during that short while? They didn't think that they had walked for so long.
"Wow… You're finally back!"
Li Shouji was starting to feel sad for himself. He had been waiting in the house for so long. Finally, they came back before he turned into stone.
"Why are you looking for us?"
Jiang Danhe asked curiously. Unexpectedly, Li Shouji looked at Xiaoguo and said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't had the chance to say hello to you over the past few days. I'm really sorry."
"It's fine. I know you're busy."
