Liang Xianghe, who had just gotten out of the car, did not say anything else.
Instead, he walked slowly towards the base building.
At the same time, when they saw the two people on the field, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were very tactful. They told the others to leave and made way for them.
However, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu were no longer in the mood to pay attention to others.
Their gazes landed on each other. It was as if the stars were emitting a dazzling light.
Lin Yi saw that her eyes were red and glistening with tears.
However, her pride did not let her tears fall.
After some time, Lin Yi raised his head and gestured for Liang Ruoxu to get into the car.
The two of them tacitly got into the car parked at the side.
The moment he closed the door, Lin Yi took a deep breath and took off his mask.
Liang Ruoxu stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was filled with a sense of responsibility.
Excitement!
Surprise!
Incredulity!
The person she had thought was completely dead appeared alive right in front of her!
Even Liang Ruoxu needed a moment to compose herself in the face of such a miraculous event.
âActually, I never died,â Lin Yi said.
âAt that time, I had other tasks, so we staged my death.â
âBut the hospitalâ¦â
Lin Yi scratched his head, feeling conflicted.
He wanted to make up an excuse, but facing Liang Ruoxu, he couldnât bring himself to lie.
He imagined the tears she must have shed during this time.
âAt that moment, I was indeed close to death, with just a faint breath left. It was so weak that neither the machines nor the doctors detected it.â
Liang Ruoxuâs heart raced as her subconscious slowly began to accept this reality.
âThen, when did you regain consciousness?â
âI woke up when I was sent to the crematorium.â Lin Yi said.
âAfter Elder Lu found out about this, he beat me at my own game and did not announce that I had come back to life.â
After that, there was a long silence in the car. After about a minute, Liang Ruoxu said,
âCould the Wang familyâs situation be your doing?â
Lin Yi nodded and didnât hide anything from Liang Ruoxu. âApart from that, there are some matters outside the country that have just been dealt with.â âIf I hadnât met you at this time, would you have returned to Zhonghai?â âIt was about time.â
âLin Yi, you b*stard!â
Liang Ruoxu waved her small fists and rained them on Lin Yi. Her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
âHow dare you not tell me that youâre not dead? Iâll beat you to death!â
Liang Ruoxu was really angry. Although they were in the car, she still punched and kicked Lin Yi. Every punch was heavy.
âIt hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Be gentle.â
Lin Yi tried to dodge, but Liang Ruoxuâs fist still landed on him.
It wasnât that he couldnât dodge it, but Lin Yi didnât want to.
He knew that Liang Ruoxu needed to do this to vent the emotions that she was suppressing in her heart!
After such a long time, she needed an outlet to vent.
âIâll beat you to death. Who asked you not to tell me in advance?!â
âItâs just that this situation was too bizarre. Coupled with the fact that I have a mission, I really canât tell you much.â
Lin Yi reached out and brushed his hand across Liang Ruoxuâs face.
âDonât cry. Iâm still alive.â
This light action shattered Liang Ruoxuâs mental defense.
She grabbed Lin Yiâs arm and burst into tears.
She was sobbing uncontrollably, and her sleeves were soaked.
Even Liang Ruoxu herself did not know if she was crying because she was happy or because of other reasons. In short, at this moment, she could not control her tears.
This was the best way for her to vent.
Even though Lin Yi comforted her, she still didnât stop. Instead, she cried even louder.
Just like that, more than ten minutes passed before Liang Ruoxuâs cries finally grew softer.
âDonât cry. I promise you that this wonât happen again. I wonât leave you again.â
âIf you dare to do such a thing again in the future, Iâll kill you even if you actually survived!â
Lin Yi couldnât help but laugh. Liang Ruoxu was always a domineering person.
Gently, Liang Ruoxu wiped away her tears, but the makeup on her face was smudged.
âHurry up and touch up your makeup.â Lin Yi smiled.
âLetâs go eat something. Iâm hungry.â
â Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat!â
Even though Lin Yi had appeared in front of her again, Liang Ruoxu was still angry. He didnât tell her about such a big matter.
Liang Ruoxu took out some cosmetics from her bag and touched up her makeup. Then, Lin Yi drove out of the Central Guards Brigade.
Along the way, Liang Ruoxuâs emotions calmed down. Her joy was written all over her face.
She wasnât someone who couldnât understand the bigger picture. Given her upbringing, she understood Lin Yiâs situation well.
Their ability to operate above the rules of ordinary people came with privileges that werenât granted for free.
Naturally, it required sacrifices and silent contributions behind the scenes. Lin Yi had his reasons for this.
Liang Ruoxu booked a private room at a Guandong restaurant.
They both needed a quiet environment to talk.
Although they were there for a meal, neither ate much, only nibbling a bit.
Their conversation centered entirely on the events that had transpired during this time.
From the incident in Panem to the murder of Fosse.
Lin Yi explained everything in detail. He could only tell Liang Ruoxu about these things.
Because she understood the chaos of this world better than herself.
Only then did Liang Ruoxu realize how miserable Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had been in Panem.
She shuddered at the thought of them hiding in the sewers for three days.
Liang Ruoxu grabbed Lin Yiâs hand tightly.
âDonât ever do anything so dangerous again.â
As he spoke, Liang Ruoxuâs grip tightened. âIf thatâs the case, Iâd rather you quit the Central Guards Brigade.â
âDonâtworry, I know what Iâm doing. Iâll definitely be careful in the future.â Liang Ruoxu suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yi with a burning gaze. âI donât want attention. I want your absolute safety.â
Lin Yi felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He didnât say what he wanted to say.
At this point, it was obviously inappropriate to say anything else.
He reached out and combed Liang Ruoxuâs hair as he looked at her gently.
âI can guarantee my own safety. I wonât let you worry anymore, let alone be separated from you.â
Liang Ruoxu was moved. What she wanted was a promise like Lin Yiâs.
During this time, she had regretted her actions countless times.
There were many things she didnât have time to do with him. And this time, she didnât want to leave any regrets.
Liang Ruoxu leaned towards Lin Yi and took the initiative to kiss him.
Gentle and passionateâ¦
