Yan Lin picked up the pill and put it in his mouth without saying a word.
It's cool.
It smells good.
After he ate it, he began to feel hot and sweaty all over, his cheeks turned red, and a piercing pain came over him, making him feel as if his whole body was being burned by fire.
In waves.
He was in excruciating pain, but the physical pain was nothing compared to what he was going through.
Even though the pain lasted for three days.
He lay in the house for three whole days, unable to get out of bed.
At first, Dai Chunying kept a close eye on things, but when her unit sent a car to pick her up and take her to a large meeting at the military hospital, she had no choice but to leave.
Ling Junye took over.
He sent Ling Jiaojiao back home and hired a nanny to take care of her.
Then, he returned to Lin Garden to take care of Yan Lin.
Yan Lin disliked it.
He was covered in sweat and said coldly, "Get lost. My yard can only hold the scents of me and Zhizhi. You, an official, shouldn't be allowed in."
Ling Yunye collapsed in disbelief.
He would come over every now and then, bring a meal at mealtimes, and then quickly leave.
Dai Chunying spoke at the conference, formally handing over the second dose of medicine called "Queqi" given to her by Xu Manzhi to the state, and accepting the organization's commendation.
She also saw Ye Qiqi at the conference.
Ye Qiqi has been busy lately, not only working on the nanotechnology project but also participating in medical rescue activities at the military hospital. However, her movements are restricted and she is being watched.
Previously, she was someone who spoke up for those in power. But after losing everything and becoming a prisoner, looking at Dai Chunying's radiant face, she had a strange, indescribable feeling.
A deep tearing sensation spread through my body.
When Dai Chunying walked up to her, she said, "Sister-in-law has completely cured Brother Yan. From now on, he no longer needs to take inhibitors and is a normal person."
Boom!
A sharp, agonizing pain spread throughout Ye Qiqi's body.
She felt that someone had taken away what was rightfully hers.
The intense sense of loss made her tremble all over.
She stared in disbelief and said, "She...she left a long time ago, so how did she cure Yan Lin?"
Dai Chunying smiled slightly, pursing her lips.
She recalled what her sister-in-law had said in her notes: the fortune teller said Ye Qiqi was Yan Lin's wife. How could that be?
Does she deserve it?
"Comrade Ye, if you reform yourself well and serve the country loyally, I believe you will definitely reform into a good person and will not commit such a serious crime as the explosion again," she said softly.
"Dai Chunying!"
Ye Qiqi lost her composure.
For so long, she felt that she was slowly getting better and slowly getting back on the right track, but Dai Chunying's words shattered all her dignity.
The hatred in her heart slowly took root and sprouted.
That evening, a small explosion occurred in Haicheng.
When the rescue team arrived, they found that many researchers had died at the scene, and one of the prison inmates guarding the facility, Ye Qiqi, was missing...
The police immediately mobilized and launched a city-wide search.
But after searching everywhere, they couldn't find Ye Qiqi.
Qian Lei, who was working enthusiastically at the grassroots level, somehow got bitten on the cheek by a poisonous creature in the village. His cheek was red and swollen, and he went to various hospitals for treatment, even seeking help from Dai Chunying.
Dai Chunying showed it to him and shook her head, saying, "You're too late. The poison has seeped into your bones. Disfigurement is the least of your worries. At most, I can save your life."
Qian Lei was seething with anger and furiously pounded on the bed board.
But he knew what was important, so he didn't force the issue. He only asked Dai Chunying to save his life and had no other requests.
This was just a minor incident and didn't cause much of a stir.
When Yan Lin heard this from Ling Junye, he merely frowned.
He has never been patient with unimportant people.
But Ling Junye treated Lin Garden as his home, and Yan Lin had always been resentful of it. After trying to drive him away several times without success, Yan Lin simply gave up and said, "Since you like Lin Garden, you will help me guard it from now on. I will apply to go to the border to serve as a guard."
"What? Are you crazy? Why would you go to the middle of nowhere to lay eggs?" Ling Junye couldn't stand it anymore.
He complained loudly.
Yan Lin sneered.
He changed the water for the bamboo and said softly, "If I could lay eggs, you should be pregnant. You can't even handle your own marriage, and you received Zhizhi's fragrant pills but didn't say a word. What are you talking about?"
"..." Ling Junye.
His cheeks were flushed.
He wanted to fart smoothly, but damn it, he couldn't. He felt like vomiting whenever a girl got close. Forget about admiration; he felt dirty just shaking hands.
And those girls smelled awful.
He had been carrying the incense pills for so long that he had become extremely sensitive to smells, and his body would react involuntarily if he smelled anything amiss.
Is it his fault?
"Alright, try your best. Don't let outsiders always mistake Jiaojiao for your daughter. It would be a bit unfair if her first marriage turned into a second one," Yan Lin said.
"Get lost!" Ling Junye said, on the verge of tears.
Not long after, Yan Lin applied to be sent to guard the border.
He was all alone, without any of the Heroes' Company members with him, not even Zou Xiaozhou, who asked to come with him.
Yan Lin patted Zou Xiaozhou on the shoulder: "You can be independent now. Without me holding you back, you can truly stand out. When you can stand on your own, I'll come back to drink with you."
"Brother Yan, no!"
When Yan Lin left, Zou Xiaozhou cried her heart out.
Unable to resist Yan Lin's resolute heart, he embarked on his own journey alone.
Not for his future, not for justice, not for his country, he only wanted to endure his loneliness and bear the endless pain in his heart for one person...
This pain lasted for a full five years.
Five years have passed, and Haicheng has undergone earth-shaking changes.
