"No problem, I want to eat it too. Also, I really want to go home and see my parents." Fu Shuai said, clearly craving something to eat—after eating highland barley in Zhongzhai for so many days, he just wanted to have some proper rice now that they were back.
"I don't think you're just thinking about your parents," Lei Xiao and Gong Wuyou remarked with teasing smiles at Fu Shuai.
"What's wrong with what I'm thinking? Isn't that perfectly normal?" Fu Shuai was utterly speechless. They were a married couple—what's so unusual about him missing his wife? Yet their gazes seemed to carry a hint of mischief.
"Normal, very normal indeed." The two nodded their heads. Initially, Lei Xiao had wanted to go home to see his parents too, but seeing Fu Shuai like this, he decided to let him take the leave instead. This way, Fu Shuai could see both his parents and his wife, and Lei Xiao could wait until next time.
