Ye Shikai, this time, could indeed be said to be "returning home in glory," coming back to marry He Linghan as a grand General of Qin Country. This was truly a glorious event, especially since many in the village knew Ye Shikai. Seven or eight months ago, he was just a mere soldier, and later at most a village chief. After this significant battle with the Wolf Clan, he was swiftly promoted along the ranks: Hundred Generals, Chiliarch, Military Marquis...
"Hmm, could it be that she's not at home?" Ye Shikai led his horse to the entrance of He Linghan's house. There was no one in the yard, but she might be inside the house.
Ye Shikai tied his battle horse at the door and walked straight in, pushing open the wooden door of the room, He Linghan was cooking in the kitchen.
Clang.
He Linghan turned around, saw Ye Shikai, and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground. The two of them locked eyes, but neither spoke.
An embrace.
