Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun were still newlyweds, thinking initially that being apart for three months would be tough.
Turns out, they were both so busy with work that Shen Qingqing didn't have time to overthink.
It was only at night, before bed, that she would wonder what Jiang Zhixun was doing.
Is his work going smoothly?
Is he healthy?
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
There were only a few days left until the three months were up.
Which meant that Jiang Zhixun would soon be finishing his assignment and coming back to Beijing.
Meanwhile, the research project Shen Qingqing was involved in had made significant progress.
To relieve stress, after work, Shen Qingqing and her colleagues decided to go out for dinner.
"Should we have hot pot or roast duck?" Li Xue asked.
Shen Qingqing and her colleagues unanimously chose the latter, "Hot pot is best enjoyed when it's cold."
"Alright, I'll make a reservation over the phone."
