After lunch this time, Jiang Qiuqiu didn't have the housekeeper robot do the dishes.
Instead, the two of them stayed close in the kitchen, slowly washing the dishes. They talked as they worked, making sure everything that needed to be said was clear.
As much as they hated to part, they still had to.
It wasn't their first time being apart, but they both knew this time was different.
This separation would last a very long time.
It was almost four o'clock. Dragging out the last few minutes would only make parting harder. Besides, he had matters to attend to when he got back, and Jiang Qiuqiu didn't want him to be in a rush.
"You should head back to the Military Department."
"I'll take good care of myself. Don't worry about me. And I'll think of you every day."
But no matter how beautiful the words of farewell, they couldn't soothe the sorrow of parting.
But each of them had their own duties and careers to attend to.
