After two consecutive bouts of passion, both felt satisfied. The sticky Cheng Su was carried by Qi Taiguo to the bathroom for a rinse, then they lay back on the bed to talk.
Qi Taiguo talked about the training session, where he got an opportunity to learn new skills. He signed up for a weapons training class, planning to constantly acquire more knowledge and skills related to weapons in the future.
"Thatās great! Improving your knowledge and skills increases your chances of survival," Cheng Su agreed wholeheartedly.
Oneās learning ability should be limitless. The broader Qi Taiguoās knowledge, the more confidence he would have, and the greater his future promotion opportunities. Cheng Su definitely supported this view.
Isnāt she attending university herself? The couple progresses together so no one lags behind, which is called mutual advancement, the key to harmonious and lasting marital relationships.
"But with this, I might not have as much time to accompany you!" Qi Taiguo said.
"Are you really a person so caught up in romance?" Cheng Su looked at him and said, "We have plenty of time. Do we need to worry about every moment together? While companionship is important, gaining another survival skill is even more crucial. Besides, Iād rather not become a widow than have a romantic companion!"
"Others want their husbands to be around, but youāre so rational!" Qi Taiguo knew she was right, yet he couldnāt help feeling a bit sour.
"That doesnāt mean I donāt care about you. I just believe that if feelings can last, why worry about constant companionship?" Cheng Su pecked him on the cheek. "Besides, while youāre busy, Iām busy too. With studies, career, and later perhaps itās children."
"Wonāt that leave us with no time to meet?" Qi Taiguo frowned.
"Letās agree to spend time together whenever we have any free time," Cheng Su said.
"Hmm!"
"Our Jam Company is planning to expand southward. I havenāt told you about meeting an influential person during my time in Guangcheng," Cheng Su said.
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Taiguo asked with his hands behind his head.
Cheng Su turned to the side, her eyes sparkling, "I met a local tycoon!"
Then she recounted in detail the events of meeting Old Master Cheng, ending with, "Do you think Iām really lucky?"
"Indeed, you are pretty lucky," Qi Taiguo was quite surprised. Meeting someone twice and forming such a connection is rare; perhaps this is what it means to be a kindred spirit?
"I often wonder if being brought back to this era by Heaven is the perk Iāve been given!" Cheng Su mentioned her past life.
Qi Taiguo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Susu, what is your future like? Howās that world?"
"The future me has the same nature as I do now. However, in a few decades, the economy will experience a significant leap forward, and women will become increasingly strong and independent. In our era, not just having children in their twenties, but many modern women and professional women have children after the age of thirty, even forty!" Cheng Su said, "Thatās no big deal, and many women choose not to marry, which led to many older unmarried singles in that era."
Qi Taiguo was stunned. How could things be like that? He pondered a moment and tentatively asked, "Then did you marry before coming here?"
Cheng Su laughed and said, "What, are you jealous?"
"Tell me!"
"No, I had just been promoted to general manager not long before then, and was too focused on my career. I didnāt have time to get married, although I did have a boyfriend..."
Cheng Su gradually recounted the things that happened during that time, until both of them couldnāt keep their eyes open, and fell asleep.
