"Well, it was all an accident. I'll be more careful in the future."

"I've said it so many times, you're probably tired of hearing it. But I really am worried every time you go on a mission. You're getting on in years, can't you just retire?"

Li Gangtie sighed: "I'm practically semi-retired right now. Last night, what happened last night was mainly related to me. I felt guilty, so..."

Ding Chengyan interrupted, "Alright, don't give me any more details. Even if you have your reasons, it's a fact that you've made Tongtong and me worry. I hope that in the future, you'll think more about your family while you're working."

Upon hearing this, Bi Qiaoan pinched Shen Yanming's arm and whispered, "Now you know how worried the women at home must be while you're out there risking your lives."

Shen Yanming nodded, "Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely take better care of myself from now on." Then he knocked on the door and only went in after hearing "Come in."

"Who is it?" Li Gangtie turned his head and saw a family of four. "Hey Lao Shen, what brings you here?"

"Just came to see you, how are you?"

"Fortunately, no bones or tendons were injured. He'll probably stay in the hospital for two or three days for observation, and then he can go home."

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "You were lucky this time. You should be more careful in the future. Look how worried your sister-in-law is."

"Well, given the situation, I didn't have time to think too much. I only dared to do it after assessing the situation and knowing that my life wasn't in danger. If I hadn't stepped forward, that young policeman would have had his head blown off."

When Li Gangtie saw Shen Yanming, he got really excited. In the end, he talked a lot, but made his wife cry.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry. Captain Li is doing fine, isn't he? We..." Bi Qiaoan didn't know how to comfort her.

"He has been a member of the guard for one or two decades and has been injured countless times."

He speaks of it so casually, yet how many times has he teetered on the brink of life and death? Tongtong and I almost became orphans and widows at least three times.

I was finally relieved to see him step down from his position, but then he pulled this stunt.

I don't object to him saving lives; after all, it's a life too. My only fear is that one day his boat capsizes and he might never return home.

Ding Chengyan's crying was heartbreaking to hear, and Li Gangtie's eyes turned red and his nose stung.

He had wronged Ding Chengyan; after being married for many years, he had still caused her to live in fear.

But he had responsibilities on his shoulders, responsibilities he couldn't shirk. He loved his job and was willing to risk his life for it.

"Alright, Yanzi, I won't be reckless again. Please forgive me this time. Let's not let the guests laugh at us."

Ding Chengyan quickly wiped away her tears, "Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, bringing the child all this way."

"It's not hard work, and it's not far," Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.

"It would be so nice to be in the medical team of our guard unit. We wouldn't have to worry about food while staying at home," Ding Chengyan said with some emotion.

"Well, the place where I was injured is close to here," Li Gangtie said.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I brought you some food, have a bite to eat first?" Shen Yanming took the thermos out of the bag, along with a few cold buns.

"What's this?" Li Gangtie asked without ceremony. "Yanzi, want to open it and take a look?"

"Chicken soup, and steamed buns!"

"Where did you get this good stuff? It smells amazing!" Li Gangtie said with a grin.

Ding Chengyan was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this too expensive?"

“Don’t worry, we’ve always raised chickens. Captain Li is injured, so he needs some nourishment. But he just had surgery, so I don’t know if he can drink chicken soup. Maybe we should ask the attending physician first?” Shen Yanming explained.

"I can drink, I can drink. I just have a small cut on my back, it has nothing to do with my digestive tract." Li Gangtie said hurriedly, "Yanzi, pour me a bowl. Don't be polite with this kid, he has a lot of good stuff."

Shen Yanming laughed and patted Li Gangtie's arm: "Get lost, don't talk nonsense. I have all sorts of good stuff that I've worked hard to get myself."

"Alright, alright, I know you're capable." Li Gangtie took a sip of the chicken soup and found it wasn't fishy at all, but rather exceptionally delicious. "It really tastes good."

"Of course, they're domesticated, and no hormones were added."

"Where are you raising it?"

"My apartment in the city is usually taken care of by friends."

"That's good, it gives you more to eat. Hey, why isn't this bun bitter at all?" Li Gangtie took a bite and looked at Shen Yanming in surprise.

"I kept some from last year to make baby food for my two kids. You, on the other hand, are eating their food."

Li Gangtie choked; the bun was stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out. Uh oh, how did he end up fighting with his little one for food?

Seeing that he was completely frozen, Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's alright. Steamed buns don't require much flour. There's enough food for my two kids."

"Ahem, okay then. If you need any millet or anything, just let me know and I'll get it for you."

"Sister Yan, please eat too, don't be shy, we brought a lot," Bi Qiaoan said.

"Okay, okay!" Ding Chengyan ladled herself a bowl of chicken soup and wolfed it down with some steamed buns.

"You two are the most reliable; you brought the food so early. If we had waited for the guards, we probably wouldn't have gotten here until one or two in the morning," Li Gangtie said while eating.

“They always have to finish getting the cafeteria up and running before they can get around to it. We’re different; we have more freedom in terms of time.”

"Yes, it's great!"

After being carried into the stroller by their father, An'an and Nuan Nuan fell silent. Both of them were a little timid in the unfamiliar environment.

Seeing that her parents were busy talking to others and ignoring her, she became a little anxious and called out through her clothes, "Dad, Mom!"

The little girl's sweet voice startled Li Gangtie and Ding Chengyan. "Oh my, your little darling isn't asleep?"

“No!” Bi Qiaoan said as she took off the hats of the two children. “We just got off the bus, and there were a lot of people outside, so I didn’t take off their hats.”

"That little Ultraman was really well disguised; I didn't even notice him," Ding Chengyan said with a smile. "He's really good-looking. How old is he?"

"It's been almost a year!" Bi Qiaoan deliberately exaggerated the time, otherwise his darling would speak too fluently.

"She's really nice, and she's likable at first glance." Ding Chengyan wanted to go up and hug her, but thinking about her own cowardice, she didn't dare.

Li Gangtie was also very fond of it, and said with a smile, "Old Shen really dared to bring his precious baby out. This is the first time I've seen him face to face. He's really cute, just like Qiao An."

Bi Qiaoan laughed and said, "No way, I think they look like Yanming."

As she spoke, she picked up An'an and handed her to Shen Yanming, then picked up Nuannuan herself: "Come on, baby, call uncle and aunt!"
