Lin Yi is not a saint, nor does he have the heart of a Madonna.
Over the years, the number of people who died at his hands is not a hundred, at least eighty.
For him, empathy is like a self-destructive poison.
So, in every operation, he never gives the enemy any chance.
Yet, regarding this matter, it’s always hard to deal with it calmly.
"Come on, have a drink." Lin Yi raised his glass and clinked it with Liang Xianghe’s.
"Don’t go for the next island mission, let Flame Dragon’s team handle it. I’ll give you a few months’ leave, go back and spend time with your wife and kid."
"Look at how you’re talking, do I seem that fragile?" Lin Yi laughed and said:
"Maybe I’m still young, still have the mind to be sentimental."
"You’re always full of nonsense, can’t tell which is true, which is false."
Their small drinking session continued until past six in the evening.
Lin Yi drove back to the Liang family, staying the last night here before returning to Zhong Hai tomorrow.
The next day at noon, Liang Ruoxu handed the child to the nanny and drove Lin Yi to the airport herself.
"In two months, the rotation duty for Team One is up, right?"
Lin Yi nodded, "I’ll return to see you then."
"Whether you see me or not doesn’t matter, just be safe during the island missions."
Standing in front of Lin Yi, Liang Ruoxu helped straighten the wrinkles in his clothes.
"If something happens to you, us orphans and widows would have no meaning in life."
Lin Yi’s heart stirred, the words he wanted to say, stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
"Don’t speak nonsense, the fortuneteller said I’ll live to a hundred, with many kids, I won’t die young."
"I can accept living to a hundred, but having a bunch of kids, forget it. If you want kids, go find President Ji. I still want to be a hot mom in the future."
"You don’t have to wait, you’re already pretty hot now."
Liang Ruoxu covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, if we keep chatting you’ll miss your flight."
Lin Yi nodded, then lightly kissed her forehead.
"I’m off now."
"Mm."
Lin Yi turned and walked towards the airport.
When he returned to Zhong Hai, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Qin Han, Gao Zongyuan, and Liang Jinming came to pick him up.
"Lin Bro, you’re always here and there, when will this end?" Liang Jinming said.
"Look at how you’re talking, like a woman, you can call me anytime, saying it like I’ve disappeared."
"He’s not missing you, just not as capable as you, can’t find pretty girls." Qin Han said.
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t say that, my friendship with Lin Bro is solid, has nothing to do with pretty girls."
"Stop arguing, don’t think Lin Bro can’t see through your little thoughts."
"Alright, alright, stop it, if you keep talking, all my secrets will be revealed."
The group laughed and got in the car, then headed home.
Ji Qingyan was wearing loose sportswear, playing with the child in the yard, with He Yuanyuan also there.
Compared to Liang Ruoxu, Ji Qingyan’s face was full of joy.
"Why are you so tanned?" Ji Qingyan said:
"Didn’t I give you sunscreen?"
Lin Yi was a bit amused and annoyed, "Where I went, sunscreen was useless."
"Then wear a hat, sunglasses, and a mask."
Ji Qingyan teased:
"Look at you now, saying you’re forty, people would believe it."
"I’ve already got you, why worry about that?" Lin Yi laughed heartily.
"Hmph."
Rolling her eyes at Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan took the toy from his hand.
"Nuonuo, look what daddy brought back for you."
Seeing the toy, the child toddled over, eager to get the toy from Ji Qingyan’s hand.
"What should you do when you want a toy?" Ji Qingyan asked sternly.
