Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1546: Seeing _1 Chapter 1552: Chapter 1546: Seeing _1 “Let’s find a place to sit, I’m tired.” Qin Xue had been walking for a while and her feet were aching. When she was alone, she could tolerate it, but as soon as she saw someone she could rely on, she became lazy.

“Okay, let’s sit over there.” When Chu Molin came over earlier, there was a clean big rock nearby.

“Mm, no problem.” All Qin Xue wanted now was to sit down; she had no preference for where to do so.

“Chu Molin, you haven’t told me yet, how did you end up here?” Qin Xue sat on the big rock, bending her legs to massage them. Her feet felt sore, massaging them gave her relief.

“We came here to carry out a research task.” Chu Molin briefly explained the issues they encountered but didn’t reveal the task details. They were confidential, which meant he couldn’t even disclose them to his closest companions. It was part of their secrecy protocol.

“So that means, not long after we set off, you guys arrived. But how did you manage to find this place? Anyone unacquainted with the matter might think you trailed us here.” Qin Xue joked.

“We got lost in the forest outside. We walked for a long time, and everyone was exhausted. While resting, I thought of the array you gave me. I used it for guidance, and before I knew it, we had arrived here. Is this the Zhongzhai you mentioned?” As Chu Molin talked about their journey, he noticed her massaging her legs. He squatted in front of her, took her leg in his hands, and started massaging it for her.

“So that’s what happened. This place was indeed built based on the array, so you were right in using it. But how did you end up here alone? It would have been quite dangerous if the person you met wasn’t me.” Qin Xue knew well how wary the natives were of strangers. Even they had been secretly watched for a long time, they just pretended not to know.

“When we entered, we heard two people mentioning the Holy Maiden. I thought there might be a chance it was your group, so I came to check. Fortunately, I found you.” As Chu Molin kept massaging her legs, his gaze deepened.

“You guys are really brave, daring to venture in here without knowing the lay of the land. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Qin Xue continued massaging her other leg, oblivious to Chu Molin’s changes, and answering his question.

“Darling, sit properly first.” Chu Molin stopped looking, fearful of losing control.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Xue asked. She was already sitting properly in her opinion. How else was she supposed to sit?

“Nothing, sit like this.” Chu Molin sat next to her, coaxed her to turn around and continued massaging her legs.

“I understand now.” Qin Xue noticed his facial expression and movements, contemplated their previous posture and realized what was happening. However, she didn’t say anything more, and merely sat upright as he wished.

“We are husband and wife; we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and missing you is only normal, don’t you agree?” Originally, Chu Molin felt embarrassed to say it, but after hearing Qin Xue’s reaction, he felt more at ease.

“You’ve changed so much that I can hardly recognize you. Who would’ve thought my husband would be like this.” Qin Xue looked at him and laughed. It was a normal occurrence, she just hadn’t expected such a serious man to have moments of distraction, especially because he missed her.
