Early the next morning, Shen Mu left the house, and Yiyi also went out to work.
Lu Jingqiu was left at home alone, about to finish the last illustration for the picture book.
She spent the morning drawing at home.
Around ten o'clock, while stretching on the terrace, she suddenly spotted a streak of green on the alleyway below.
Aside from their own, no other family in the alley had anyone who wore such clothes, and Lu Jingqiu's heart leapt at the sight.
Taking a few steps forward to get a better look and, upon recognizing that familiar face, she felt both shock and joy, and called out from the terrace: "Husband."
Jiang Nanzhou, hearing her voice, looked in her direction and saw his wife bounding down to meet him, which made him instinctively stretch out his arms and quickly move forward, calling out: "Be careful."
Unsure if his wife heard the warning and worried she might trip, he hastened his steps home.
