Gu Shuangshuang was thoroughly enjoying her steamed bun when she heard that Tian Niu had returned. She nearly choked on her food.
She hurriedly took a sip of soup to clear her throat, put down the bowl, and rushed toward the front door.
Seeing the man standing at the door, looming like a black iron tower, Gu Shuangshuang felt a mix of emotions, caught between the urge to laugh and cry.
"What's the matter, you don't recognize me anymore? Why that look on your face?" Tian Niu flashed a bright smile, showing off two rows of white teeth, making his skin look even darker.
Gu Shuangshuang struggled to get her emotions under control before she choked out, "Old Niu, you're a man of your word. You said you'd come back for the National Day holiday to visit, and what happened?"
"I got called out for a mission at the last minute, didn't I?" Tian Niu stepped forward, his rough hands wiped away Gu Shuangshuang's tears before he hugged her tightly.
