Hearing his words, his wife seemed to be a little more at ease.
Then Hu Zhicheng carried his wife back to the room and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Dinner at this time... was a bit late, dinner at eight or nine o'clock. He had specifically made a snack for his wife before he left, otherwise, she would be starving now.
As he was cooking, he suddenly heard a noise outside the door, and he frowned.
At this hour, his neighbors had already returned home, and his neighbors were not the type to order takeout. Why was there a noise at this hour? There was no sound of the door opening either.
Is someone here?
Who?
He thought, put down the cleaver in his hand, and silently walked to the door, preparing to look outside through the peephole.
Just as he reached the door, the doorbell rang.
"Who?"
He became even more curious. Why would someone suddenly come to his house? Normally, people he knew or coukd would call first.
"Is Hu Zhicheng there?"
Through the peephole, he saw two people standing at the door.
It's them!
Hu Zhicheng's eyes widened, and he immediately opened the door: "Dragon King... and you."
"You know me?"
Lin Xiao asked subconsciously, and then he and Ming Yi entered the room.
"You are the idol of all of us, of course, I know you." Hu Zhicheng was obviously a little excited. He had just been thinking about how to find Lin Xiao and Ming Yi, and was thinking of trying his luck there tomorrow. He never expected that Lin Xiao and Ming Yi would come to his door.
"Me... an idol?"
Lin Xiao shrugged. After entering, he walked over to change into a pair of slippers, but it seemed there were no guest slippers prepared at home.
"No need to change your shoes, just come in,"
Hu Zhicheng said quickly.
"No rush..." Lin Xiao looked around the house. It was very tidy. Even at this time, Hu Zhicheng's mental fortitude allowed him to manage the house well. It was clean and neat, with no signs of the major changes they had undergone. He then noticed that cooking was still going on in the kitchen and asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"Just got back..."
"Right, you've worked hard," Lin Xiao said, walking into the kitchen. "Let me help."
"No, no!"
Hu Zhicheng said in a hurry, "I'll do it myself!"
"It's fine, when I was in Beijiang, I often cooked for the soldiers," Lin Xiao said, picking up the cleaver and starting.
Brother Xiao really enjoys cooking.
Ming Yi watched from the side and also pulled Hu Zhicheng, saying, "It's okay, Brother Xiao really likes to cook."
"No... this... guests are here, what is this?" Hu Zhicheng was anxious. Let alone having Lin Xiao cook, he felt embarrassed for any guest to cook for him...
"Old Hu, what's wrong, Old Hu?"
His wife, who was resting in the room, heard the commotion outside, put on her clothes, and walked out. She saw two more people in the kitchen.
"Who are these two?"
These were two people she had never seen before, and she asked curiously.
"Wife, these are the ones I just mentioned... this is..."
He was about to properly introduce Lin Xiao. He dared not presume to say that he was Lin Xiao's comrade-in-arms.
Just then, Lin Xiao spoke, "Sister-in-law, hello. We are old Hu's former comrades-in-arms!"
