Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: You Came to Find Me?

After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Lu Cheng took Shen Nian and found a nearby guesthouse.

"You get some rest. I’m going to get some medicine."

"That’s not necessary. It’s just a small cut, nothing to worry about."

Shen Nian had just seen the thin scratch on her neck in the mirror. It was so shallow it would probably be healed by tomorrow. It really didn’t need any medicine. Lu Cheng was just being overly anxious.

"No. It needs to be disinfected. I’ll be right back."

"Alright, then."

Seeing how insistent Lu Cheng was, Shen Nian didn’t argue anymore. ’Fine, we’ll put medicine on it,’ she thought. ’If it makes him feel better, so be it.’

Shen Nian knew that even though Lu Cheng didn’t say anything else, it was clear he hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened.

’This incident must have given him a real scare!’

It even made Shen Nian recall the state she had seen Lu Cheng in after her death in her past life.

’Oh, Lu Cheng... How can I ever repay this debt of affection I owe you?’

True to his word, Lu Cheng returned a short while later carrying two bags. One held the disinfectant, and the other contained some snacks he had bought for Shen Nian.

"Have a snack to tide you over. I’ll take you out for a proper meal later."

"Mm-hmm."

Shen Nian wasn’t actually hungry, but she ate enthusiastically to show her appreciation for the food Lu Cheng had gone out of his way to buy for her.

Seeing Shen Nian eat with such gusto, Lu Cheng finally smiled in relief. Then, he focused on carefully treating the cut on her neck.

"Um... weren’t you on a security mission? How did you end up here?"

Shen Nian had wanted to ask this question the moment she saw Lu Cheng, but the situation earlier hadn’t allowed for it.

Now that it was just the two of them, Shen Nian no longer felt the need to hold back.

"This mission had a connection to C City. After it was over, I came here for the handover. I happened to learn about the incident on the train then. The police are taking this case very seriously, so we came to assist them."

As Lu Cheng spoke, a wave of relief washed over him. ’Thank god I accepted this assistance mission,’ he thought. ’Thank god...’

Shen Nian nodded. "Oh, so that’s what happened."

"And you? Why are you here? Did something happen at home?"

Lu Cheng remembered the call he’d made home before leaving for his mission. ’Could it be that she felt mistreated at home and decided to run away?’

At this thought, Lu Cheng’s gaze instantly grew anxious. ’My wife is running away from home? That can’t happen!’

"Nothing’s wrong at home, don’t worry. Actually... I was coming to find you."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a whisper. It was still a bit embarrassing for a girl like her to say something like that out loud.

"You were coming to find me?"

Lu Cheng stared at Shen Nian, stunned. He truly hadn’t expected that answer.

But after the initial surprise came a wave of pure elation.

’She was actually coming to find me? Does that mean she missed me?’

’So, all this time he’d been missing her, she had been thinking of him, too!’

’Nothing could possibly bring more joy than this!’

"Yes! I missed your call to the house. When I called you back, they said you were on a mission and hadn’t returned yet, so I thought..."

Now that she’d said it, much of Shen Nian’s embarrassment faded. But before she could finish, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

’Lu Cheng... was hugging her!’

Other than the time Shen Nian had hugged him as he was leaving, this was the first time Lu Cheng had ever initiated such an intimate gesture.

Not in her past life, nor in this one.

In Shen Nian’s memory, Lu Cheng had always been cautious and reserved around her, never daring to be too forward. He had never, ever taken the initiative like this.

Shen Nian was stunned for only a moment before she came to her senses. She reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng’s waist, a smile spreading across her face.

She could feel how happy Lu Cheng was in that moment, and she was just as overjoyed.
