Fu Sheng did not remember how he returned.
The path from Unit 40 to the Fu residence felt longer than usual, yet he did not notice the distance. His steps remained steady, but his thoughts were unsettled and difficult to control.
Everything he had seen stayed in his mind.
Her face.
Her voice.
The children calling her mother.
By the time he reached the gate of the Fu mansion, night had already fallen completely.
Lanterns were lit across the courtyard, casting a warm and steady glow over the space. The family had gathered outside and were preparing for dinner, but the atmosphere was not calm.
There was tension in the air.
The moment Fu Sheng stepped inside, Fu Li noticed him first.
"Brother," she called out as she quickly ran toward him.
Fu Fei followed closely behind her, her expression filled with worry, while Fu Tong hurried after them.
