When Cen Zhengnian returned to the base, he immediately got busy without even putting down his luggage.

He first dealt with the issues in the project, and even after solving them, he continued to be busy. It's only now that he can consider his work for this phase complete, and he finally has some free time.

Now it's already mid-November.

The letters and things sent by Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an had actually been placed there for several days. Now he finally had time to sit down and read them.

Chu Xia's letter was still lengthy, with details about Cen Huai'an's autumn outing, her worries at work and the problems she encountered in her studies.

Among them, she wrote a whole page just about making bookmarks, which made Cen Zhengnian can't help but chuckle, and he even considered going outside to find some ginkgo leaves to make a few bookmarks himself.

An'an's letter had a mix of Chinese characters and pinyin, not too many, and it felt like he was writing a diary.

Dad, after you went back to work, mom and I went to class and worked every day. There hasn't been much change.

On Tuesday, we went on an autumn outing, and I picked ginkgo leaves. I made bookmarks with Mom. It was quite difficult. Mom did a better job, but I broke a lot of them.

Mom said you sent a lot of things that grandma asked you to send, so I sent the bookmarks I made to grandma.

Mom also said that great-grandpa in the capital helped her a lot, so I sent him bookmarks too.

Dad, are you busy at work? If you are, you can send a letter later.

Yours sincerely!

Cen Huai'an

In addition to the letters and bookmarks, Chu Xia's package also contained some winter clothing, all of them being sweaters and woolen pants meant to be worn underneath, except for a black double-breasted overcoat intended for outerwear.

Chu Xia mentioned in her letter that she happened to come across this overcoat and thought it would suit him well, so she bought it, thinking it would be just right for wearing in the northwest now.

Cen Zhengnian touched the clothes and felt as if his weary body had been infused with warmth. He was about to take off his clothes to try them on when the door of his dormitory was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Zhengnian, I just thought of a new idea for an experiment..." 

The voice that spoke came to an abrupt end, and Yu Tian saw Cen Zhengnian's coat spread out on the bed.

Cen Zhengnian calmly adjusted his clothes and was about to put away the overcoat and woolen garments from the bed.

Yu Tian  quickly stepped inside, with a mischievous smile: "Zhengnian, this coat of yours is nice, is it a new one you bought?"

Cen Zhengnian ignored him, hung the clothes in the wardrobe, and then turned around with a gentle smile, saying, "My family sent it."

The smile on his face astonished Yu Tian; he had never seen Cen Zhengnian this affectionate before.

Normally, Cen Zhengnian was serious and dedicated to his work, with little leisure time. He often spent his free time reading and doing calculations alone in his dormitory or office.

This kind of gentle smile without the slightest sense of distance is rarely seen.

Yu Tian smiled even more ambiguous, "Looks like it's from your sister-in-law, no wonder I see you in such a good mood today."
