That night, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo were passionately entwined until both were exhausted, then they held each other and talked, as if this time of lovemaking were their last.
Cheng Su lay her head on Qi Taiguo's chest and said, "Everyone says being a military wife is the loneliest, because your husband is always in the army, always on missions, and sometimes you don't even see each other once a year. It's really true."
Hearing the slight resentment in her tone, Qi Taiguo kissed her forehead and said, "We're not that bad, are we? We're living together now too!"
"It's lucky we are, but it's not every day. Look, last time you were gone on a mission for a week or so. We haven't even been together for a month now, and you're already saying you're going to study, for three months, and it's a closed course, and..." Cheng Su pouted as she spoke.
