"Dad, I know you'll all be waiting for me to come back." Yu Wei opened his arms and gave Lin Ling a big bear hug. "I'll be alright..."

"What are you saying? Pui, pui, pui..." Lin Ling reached out and covered Yu Wei's mouth. "Don't say these things. My dear son is so outstanding, what could possibly happen to him?"

"Hmm." Yu Wei nodded, released Lin Ling, took a step back, and smiled, "Dad's right, what could possibly happen?"

"Don't worry about Si Yu, just leave him to me." Lin Ling straightened Yu Wei's collar and epaulets, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Go and talk to Si Yu."

"No, Dad, I have to go, or I'll miss the main group." Yu Wei shook his head, turned to look at the person who was humming a tune with his hands behind his back, pretending to admire the scenery, and smiled, his dark eyes softening: "I'll leave them to you."

"Why are you being so long-winded? Just focus on your work. I can handle this little thing."

"Thank you, Dad." Yu Wei opened his arms, gave Lin Ling a gentle hug, and quickly left. "I'm leaving."

"Go."

Lin Ling leaned against the spaceship with a smile, watching Yu Wei walk to Zhou Siyu's side, give her an embrace, a kiss, and then resolutely turn around and stride away. That was the only thing he could remember.

Yu Wei clenched his fist tightly as his naturally swinging hand clenched, forcing himself not to turn around.

He knew that Zhou Siyu was watching him, and Lin Ling was watching him. They wanted him to stay, and they also wanted him not to stay.

He feared that if he turned around, he would lose the courage to continue walking; he feared that if he turned around, he would never be able to take another step.
