After an absence of three months, Qi Taiguo finally returned home. As he opened the door, a fresh floral fragrance hit him. He set down his bag and glanced around. Everything was neat and orderly. Fresh flowers were blooming brightly in a vase on the coffee table.
Three months, yet everything at home felt so familiar and warm, as if he had never left.
Qi Taiguo's gaze landed on the wall. He walked over and saw a paper calendar, with "Qi Taiguo Homecoming Countdown" written at the top.
The dates on the calendar had been crossed off with red X's for a whole month.
Qi Taiguo smiled, warmth and a slight ache filling his heart, a sense of unparalleled satisfaction overwhelming him.
It's often said that home is a haven, offering rest for the soul, warmth for the body and mind, and when tired and weary, coming home makes the weariness disappear.
This saying might sound overly sentimental, but it rings true.
This is his home; she gave it to him.
