There were other people in the room besides Su Wanqing.

The person who heard the knocking was Zhao Na. She didn't have to do physical labor during the day, so she was a light sleeper and opened her eyes when she heard the knocking.

The door opened, and Zhao Na, still half-asleep, looked at Sun Chengwu outside. She paused for a moment, then called out in a panic, "Brother Wu!"

Even after all this time, he was still very afraid of Sun Chengwu.

After her boyfriend ran away and disappeared without a trace, she still doesn't dare to ask Sun Chengwu and the others what happened after they chased after him.

Even though he had already heard some news from Sun Chengwu and Huang Shi and guessed what was going on.

That's why her fear of Sun Chengwu reached its peak.

Sun Chengwu said, "I've come to see Sister Su."

Zhao Na glanced back at Su Wanqing. "She's asleep. I'll go wake her..."

Sun Chengwu interrupted, "If you're asleep, you don't need to. Go back to sleep. Sorry to bother you."

He had just turned to leave when he suddenly remembered something, turned back and called out, "Zhao Na."

Zhao Na was about to close the door when she was startled again and asked in a panic, "Brother Wu, is there anything else?"

Sun Chengwu hesitated before saying, "After Sister Su wakes up, tell her that we've set off and that she doesn't need to worry, that we'll definitely come back safely."

Zhao Na nodded meekly and agreed, "Okay, Brother Wu, I'll tell her."

Nothing more was said that night...

The next morning, around four o'clock, Sun Chengwu woke up.

He washed up, ate, and got ready.

Li Mu also took charge of coordinating the food issue.

The crowd gradually gathered, and breakfast was ready. Just as they were about to eat, Sun Chengwu saw Su Wanqing walking quickly toward him with red eyes.

Su Wanqing usually gets up around 5 a.m., by which time Sun Chengwu has already left.

He never expected that Su Wan would wake up so early today.

Sun Chengwu greeted her, "Good morning, Sister Su."

Su Wanqing stared at Sun Chengwu, her eyes red-rimmed, without saying a word.

Sun Chengwu felt a little guilty. "Sister Su, why are you up so early today?"

Su Wanqing choked up as she said, "I woke up suddenly this morning and couldn't fall back asleep."

Hearing a noise outside, I had just sat up when Zhao Na told me about you.

You just got back, can't you rest for a couple of days?

Why are you leaving again?

Sun Chengwu explained, "Sister Su, time waits for no one. If we wait until this heavy snow stops before we set off, it will be too late."

Look at the snow on the ground. It fell almost a foot deep overnight. If we keep waiting, how long will it take?

When the warships arrive, we will either be silenced or forced into labor.

Either way, it's a matter of life and death.

Su Wanqing bit her lower lip. "I know, but I'm just worried about you."

I didn't come to stop you, I just miss you.

Sun Chengwu hugged Su Wanqing and gently patted her back, saying, "Sister Su, I will definitely come back, don't worry."

Su Wanqing was starting to lose her composure. "How could I not be worried?"

Sun Chengwu wasn't good at comforting people, and after a long silence, he said, "Sister Su, there's nothing we can do about it."

Su Wanqing opened her mouth and bit Sun Chengwu's shoulder hard.

Her gaze fell on Fang Wei and Sophia.

Upon seeing Sophia, she gritted her teeth, pushed Sun Chengwu aside, and walked over.

Sun Chengwu froze for a moment, then broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Su Wanqing walking towards Sophia. He quickly called out, "Sister Su... she..."

Su Wanqing had already walked up to Sophia.

She said bluntly, "I'm not here to compete with you for his affections. I know I'm not capable enough, and going out with him would just be a burden."

Since he chose you, it means you can definitely protect yourself in harsh environments.

I'm nothing to him, and I have no problem with you.

But I would like to ask you to take good care of him on the road.

He's a careless person, he'll make do if he can. You're a woman, you're more sensitive than him, so you'll need to be more careful on the way."

Sophia had initially thought Su Wanqing was there to argue with her, and was already poised to launch a sarcastic attack.

Unexpectedly, Su Wanqing adopted such a humble attitude.

She didn't know what to say, and stammered, "Um...I...okay."

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Thank you."

Sun Chengwu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

After Su Wanqing returned, she instructed him, "Take precautions. If she gets pregnant in this environment, she'll die."

Sun Chengwu protested, "There's really nothing between her and me?"

Su Wanqing's gaze clearly showed disbelief. "You don't need to explain to me. It doesn't matter what happens between you two. I don't mind."

She spoke very frankly.

She was so open with herself that even Sun Chengwu didn't know how to face her.

Su Wanqing gave Sun Chengwu a hug and kissed him on the cheek. "Be careful on the road. It's almost time, so I won't keep you any longer."

She released her grip, then waved to her brothers, "Everyone, you're back safe and sound!"

As Sun Chengwu watched Su Wanqing's figure disappear, he suddenly realized that it wasn't just him who was growing up, but everyone around him was growing up as well.

Su Wanqing has transformed from a young woman who only knew how to be afraid into a capable and independent wife.

Although she wasn't particularly capable, she supported him quietly in her own way.

Sun Chengwu was silent for a moment, then turned to everyone and said, "Let's eat!"

After the meal, everyone set off.

Sun Chengwu divided them into four groups, with Richard, Baldy, Williams, and Old Yang as group leaders.

Including the team leader, each team had six people, and each team dragged three ice carts, which were loaded with supplies.

On this trip, they risked their lives and their future.

The day after they set off, they met Lao Ma and Wang Hu.

The two of them were in a terrible state.

When Wang Hu saw Sun Chengwu, he almost knelt down. "Boss, I almost thought I'd never see you again!"

This was the first time Sun Chengwu had seen Wang Hu back down.

Old Ma breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the snot off his face, and called out, "Boss."

Sun Chengwu noticed Old Ma wiping his nose and asked, "Have you caught a cold?"

Old Ma shook his head. "No, it just snowed heavily yesterday, so it was a bit cold."

He patted his chest and said, "I'm perfectly healthy!"

Having learned from Ye Zhi Qiu's experience, Sun Cheng Wu examined Lao Ma's body and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was just suffering from a runny nose due to the cold.

Sun Chengwu immediately ordered, "Everyone stop, set up camp on the spot, and start a fire."

Old Ma and Wang Hu have been cold for too long and need to be kept warm quickly.

Wang Hu, wrapped in a coat and holding a bowl of hot water, approached Sun Chengwu mysteriously. "Boss, guess what happened on our way back?"
