He immediately stood up.
Washed up, changed clothes, and organized his documents.
Upon exiting his room, he glanced at Su Meixi's door.
Her door was closed.
He gently twisted the doorknob and then pushed the door open.
Su Meixi was seen cuddling a quilt, sleeping soundly, making him reluctant to disturb her.
Thus, he stepped back, left a message on his cellphone for her: "Urgent matters at the base, I need to return, the return date is uncertain, take good care of yourself at home."
Afterward, he picked up his bag and went up to the rooftop.
Soon, a helicopter roared in.
Due to vegetables being planted on the rooftop, the helicopter couldn't land and simply dropped a rope ladder.
Gu Wei climbed the ladder and swiftly boarded the helicopter.
The helicopter flew away, disappearing into the night within moments.
...
Su Meixi woke up when it was already daylight.
Like usual, first she washed up and then subconsciously walked to the dining room.
