After two years of marriage, the officer husband can’t stand it any longer.

The next morning, Gu Beinian woke up relatively early. She got up quietly and walked quietly into the bathroom to wash up so as not to wake Tao Weiwei.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, she saw Lu Baidu lying on the sofa in a daze. He shouted several times but got no response.

Gu Beinian took three steps and turned back, and met Song Man who was coming down from upstairs. She spoke eagerly with concern:

"Nian Nian, why do you get up so early? You are not recovered from your illness. You should rest more."

"Mom, what's wrong with dad? I called him several times, but he didn't respond."

Song Man looked over and shouted, "Baichuan."

No response…

She frowned and her tone instantly became serious: "Lu Baichuan!"

"Huh?" He came back to his senses and quickly turned to look at his wife: "What's the matter, wife?"

Song Man was unhappy and looked at him carefully: "There is something wrong with you. What are you doing so early in the morning? Nian Nian called you several times."

Lu Baichuan blurted out his prevarication: "No, it's nothing. I got up too early in the morning. Some projects have not been finalized. I have been thinking about some problems."

Song Man sighed lightly, lowered his voice again, and couldn't help but laugh: "In all the years I've been with you, I've never seen you worry about any project? The last time you were so worried was thirty years ago. It’s about that.”

Lu Baichuan picked up the tea cup and chuckled: "As for people, once they get older, it is easy to think too much. I am no longer what I was when I was old."

Song Man still didn't believe this rhetoric. She had been husband and wife with him for more than thirty years and had shared the same bed with him for half of her life. She knew at a glance that Lu Baichuan was hiding something from her.

Song Man shook his head and did not ask any further questions. He turned to Gu Beinian with a smile on his face and said, "Go and have breakfast. You didn't eat much yesterday."

"Ah."

She glanced at it worriedly, and then went to the restaurant. The breakfast was rich, but what she put in her mouth, she chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and it tasted like chewing gum.

Song Man sat next to Lu Baichuan pointedly: "What are you hiding from me?"

Her tone was quite calm, but she was more nervous about her husband.

Lu Baichuan's expression was still very calm. He drank some water and said calmly: "It's really okay."

Song Man's heart moved, and the seeds of suspicion began to sprout. Song Man glared at him and said angrily: "What do you mean now? You agreed not to hide anything from the other party."

Lu Baichuan was also in a dilemma. He really didn't know how to tell his wife about this, especially Beinian. He would try to hide it as much as possible.

Song Man was so nervous by Lu Baichuan's expression that she was silent. With a look, she might have understood something. She looked at the man in disbelief: "Is it...? Nanchen, he..."

She didn't have the courage to say the next words. Lu Baichuan knew that he couldn't hide it from his smart wife, so he could only nodded slowly and sighed: "Don't let Nian Nian know about the disconnection state yet."

Song Man's heart skipped a beat and became very heavy. Lu Baichuan held her hand tightly and consoled her: "Don't worry, the army has already done its best to search. Once there is news, Lao Li will notify us."

How could she not be anxious? This was her son. In just a few seconds, Song Man's eyes were already red. Lu Baichuan took out a piece of paper and gently wiped away her tears:

"Nanchen will be fine, don't cry. If Niannian sees it later, she should be suspicious."

Lu Baichuan tried his best to coax her, and he could feel strongly that his son was definitely alive.

The couple were worried that Gu Beinian would find out something, so they quickly left home on the pretext of going to see friends. The only thing they could do was to pray silently.
