Chapter 1 Decision to Divorce
Winter, 1975.
Shen Qingqing traveled alone for three days on a green-painted train, arriving in the Northwest.
Braving the wind and snow, she was taken to the guesthouse.
"Captain Jiang hasn't applied for a family compound residence yet. Mister Shen, for now, you stay here. When Captain Jiang finishes his mission, I'll make sure he comes to see you."
Shen Qingqing understood clearly—Jiang Zhixun had never intended for her to follow his deployment.
If he had, he wouldn't have left for the Northwest without saying a word, nor would he have gone three years without returning home.
The Northwest was over two thousand kilometers away from Beijing.
If she hadn't come, it was likely that many people wouldn't have even known Jiang Zhixun was married.
The hand holding the suitcase was already frozen stiff, just like the fiery heart that once beat within her chest, now subdued to calmness.
Shen Qingqing smiled and thanked the other person.
Then she said, "When Jiang Zhixun returns, please inform me, Mister."
