After saying that, without waiting for Yu Wei's reply, she buried her face in his shoulder.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Yu Wei paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes: "Cry if you want to, I won't laugh at you."

"Who's crying? I'm not..."

Qin Ge spoke in a muffled voice, his tone tinged with a hint of tears.

Yu Wei stopped talking and, while studying the topographic map, quickly drew a new defense map on another screen.

After finishing the sketch, Qin Ge looked up, turned his face away, and muttered as he stood up, "I'm leaving now, I still have a lot of things to do."

"Um."

Yu Wei nodded, pretending not to see Qin Ge's red eyes and awkward expression.

Watching Qin Ge's retreating figure, Yu Wei sighed deeply. Love is something no one can truly understand, and no one can help with; it's up to him to handle it himself.

Qin Ge was mature from a young age, never showing his emotions, and never crying in front of others; he always seemed indifferent.

The first time he cried was when his mother passed away. Qin Ye didn't allow him to cry. He attended the funeral with a smile, then returned to the base, found a corner, and silently gazed at the sky.

Having just returned to base after completing a mission, Yu Wei was afraid that Qin Ge might do something foolish. Without even changing his clothes, he hurriedly searched many places, only to find Qin Ge drinking water as if it were wine in a corner.

Despite being only a teenager, he exuded a sense of desolation.

Yu Wei sat down beside him, and neither of them spoke. They sat there for a long time before Qin Ge suddenly collapsed onto the grass, covered his face with his hand, and choked out, "Yu Wei, I don't have a mother anymore."

The cries were quickly carried away by the strong wind, and no one knew that the person who seemed indifferent to everything was crying his heart out on the grass.

The second time was the day before Qin Ge was forced to leave the youth training base and transfer to the medical school. He drank alcohol and hugged Yu Wei, crying bitterly.

"Yu Wei, I don't want to leave..."

What will you do if I leave?

"I'll never see you again, never see Lin Gu, never see Yun Mu. Will you all forget about me?"

"Waaaaah, you can't forget me! We promised to be best brothers and friends for life..."

"Qin Ge".

Yu Wei called out to Qin Ge, who stopped and stood quietly without turning around or saying a word.

"I won't tell anyone."

Stepping out of that door, he was still the same highly skilled, fearless, carefree, and indifferent-to-life-and-death Dr. Qin.

Whether it was his father's defection or his lover's betrayal, it had nothing to do with him. He was just himself, nothing more.

"I doubt you'd dare." Qin Ge waved his fist and added, "I'm not one to be trifled with either."

After saying that, he shouldered his medical kit and strode away.

He never cared how others evaluated him or their attitudes; he was only worried that Yu Wei's single-minded protection of him would upset others and have a negative impact.

"Qin Ge".

A cool voice sounded behind him. Qin Ge turned around and saw Chu Yunmu walking slowly towards him.

"Here you go." Chu Yunmu solemnly placed the lunchbox in his arms into his hands and said seriously, "I trust you."

"Thank you." Qin Ge opened his arms and hugged Chu Yunmu, took a few deep breaths, and held back his tears: "I'm fine."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't try to take advantage of Yunmu."

Lin Chen, with his hands in his pockets, leaned casually against a withered tree not far away, watching the two of them with a smile.

The fact that Chu Yunmu was an Omega became an open secret among them. Lin Chen wished he could install a surveillance camera on him or an equipment that could automatically knock away anyone who had ill intentions towards Chu Yunmu.

"Hey, we're good brothers, what's wrong with a hug?" Qin Ge snorted, tightening his grip on Chu Yunmu's arm, and looked at Lin Chen smugly: "I hugged him, so what? What can you do about it?"

I can beat you half to death!

Lin Chen was so angry at his smug look that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't lash out because of Chu Yunmu, so he could only grit his teeth and fum.

"What are you doing? Making such a racket, can't a person even think?" Yu Wei opened the door and poked half his head out, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust. "If you want to fight, go somewhere else. Don't splatter blood on me." Then, he said to Chu Yunmu, "Yunmu, come with me. Their fight and the blood all over the place has nothing to do with us. Stay away so you don't get blood on your clothes."

“Chairman Yu, please don’t! Yunmu has finally gotten close to me. If you say that, he’ll start to be afraid of me again.”

Lin Chen clasped his hands together, his eyes full of smiles.

To be honest, he was afraid of Yu Wei from the bottom of his heart. Yu Wei held too much importance in Chu Yunmu's heart. Zhou Sijue tried all sorts of methods but failed to remove him from Chu Yunmu's heart. A single word from Yu Wei could easily sway Chu Yunmu's emotions.

He was terrified that if Yu Wei said just one word, Chu Yunmu would abandon everything and rush towards him without hesitation.

He neither had the ability to compete with Yu Wei nor the courage to snatch him away.

"Why are you acting like a complaining woman?" Yu Wei curled her lip in disgust. "Even prisoners have free time, but you're the opposite, watching Yun Mu 24/7, following her everywhere..."

Lin Chen groaned inwardly and glared at Yu Wei from afar.

Fortunately, Yu Wei is also stubborn and his heart is entirely devoted to Zhou Siyu. It's impossible for him to have any feelings for Chu Yunmu other than friendship.
