Chapter 61 (Revised)
After sending Shen Xiunan away, Lin Han quickly accepted this fact.
He cleaned up the kitchen that He Yunting hadn't remembered to clean, prepared lunch for Gululu as usual, and turned on the news for it. Then he took the materials sent by Shen Xiunan and went back to his room to work.
Maybe his mental strength had recovered a lot, so he was not so tired at work. After re-checking a new batch of mechas, he returned to the living room to see what Xiaotuanzi was doing.
He Yunting still appears frequently in the news. It seems that last night's companionship was a beautiful dream that would be shattered with a single poke. Lin Han was a little dazed and couldn't help but walk to the window.
Because it was daytime, Lin Han lived close to the Imperial Army University, and there were many students passing by, so the place was quite busy with people coming and going.
The place where He Yunting was standing was very ordinary. If he hadn't accidentally looked down, he would have missed it.
Lin Han looked at his hands, and his inner thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He heard a slight sound coming from the living room. He turned his head and found that Gululu had finished eating what he had prepared and was rolling contentedly into the container. Its tail hit the edge, making a crisp sound.
On the news, He Yunting's face was magnified several times, and several people were sitting in a virtual studio discussing something.
Lin Han was worried that Gululu would be angry with He Yunting again. He Yunting came again yesterday. He was thinking about whether he should turn off the news first. Little Tuanzi couldn't always be against He Yunting.
But when he turned his head, he was surprised to find that Gululu did not show any hostility towards He Yunting on TV. He was shaking his fur and staring at the screen with his dark eyes. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Lin Han walked over with some confusion, leaned over and spread out his palms, letting Gululu jump back into his palms.
The little guy was full after eating and drinking, and yawned a little, ready to take a comfortable nap in Lin Han's arms.
Lin Han curled his lips and asked in a low voice: "Don't you hate him the most?"
Gululu blinked and took a long time to react as usual.
When it understood what Lin Han was saying, it suddenly became unnatural.
It carefully folded up its limbs, even curled up its little tail, and completely shrank into a ball, even starting to avoid Lin Han's gaze.
"Why now..." Lin Han didn't finish his words, as if he realized something, and asked tentatively, "Did he say anything to you yesterday?"
Gululu couldn't speak of course, but this time it curled itself up even more roundly and rolled around in Lin Han's palm, as if refusing to answer the question.
After a while, Gululu stretched out his limbs again and jumped towards He Yunting's handsome face on TV. All the hair on his body drooped down, as if... he was apologizing.
Lin Han became even more confused.
He knew that Gulu could understand what they said, but felt a little lost because he couldn't communicate further.
So, He Yunting must have said something to it...
Lin Han raised his hand and gently stroked Gululu's fur, teasing it to sleep, without asking any more questions.
Once I am fully recovered, I will go to the base.
-
The reason why He Yunting hurried back to the base without even saying hello was because the matter he had asked Lu An and Cha to do before finally had some results.
During the time that he and Lin Han were forced to stay in the border area, Lu Anhe was unable to go further due to restrictions on his movements. Only after he returned could he conduct a deeper investigation into his previous suspicions.
Two days ago, Xu Zhiheng finally found He Yunting in private and explained his purpose.
Xu Zhiheng actually doesn't have a very clear political stance. After all, he is well-known in the academic community and has no interest in a group of old men arguing about something all day long.
If we have to talk about his stance, Jiang Lian, who advocates peace, can be considered his good friend. It was they who argued for reason and prevented further research on the burning-blood omega.
"I know that someone has restarted research on this matter," Xu Zhiheng said anxiously, "Maybe the other party has already taken further action."
"I heard that the general was once assassinated..." Xu Zhiheng said, "I don't need to go into the details."
Although He Yunting believed Xu Zhiheng's words, he didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to get involved in this matter: "So what does Professor Xu mean?"
Xu Zhiheng seemed to have a hard time saying the following words: "I will have a routine academic lecture at the Imperial Army University in a few days. But the problem is...something has been wrong since three months ago."
"It seems like someone is always watching me in the dark, but never communicates with me directly. They just deliberately spread the news of your assassination."
He Yunting's expression was cold, and he waited for him to continue.
"Because of my relationship with Mr. Jiang, they couldn't come to me directly, but they had to let me know this fact."
Xu Zhiheng's half-white hair flashed, and he whispered, "I want to see with my own eyes the things I stopped happening again, but you don't give me any clues."
He Yunting had no idea how much energy Xu Zhiheng had spent trying to stop this research from continuing.
He Yunting hesitated for a moment and said, "We can provide you with protection, and we can also cooperate with you in some investigations."
Xu Zhiheng showed a little joy, and He Yunting added another sentence.
"But in exchange, I also have someone I need your attention for," said He Yunting.
Xu Zhiheng was stunned for a moment: "Not to assassinate you..."
"There is one more."
He Yunting briefly described what happened that day: "Even after three shots, his body still didn't suffer too serious injuries."
Xu Zhiheng's face turned pale: "Impossible, three years ago, it was simply not the case-"
But he soon stopped talking: "I understand."
"I will arrange a laboratory specifically for you, and will transport him there secretly so that no one will find out." He Yunting said with certainty.
Xu Zhiheng was silent for a moment, but finally agreed.
"But Admiral..." He paused. Even though he had something to ask of He Yunting, he still kept his back straight. His previous surprise was quickly put away. He regained his usual composure, and his youthful demeanor could be seen. "I beg you to do your best to stop this project."
"I see."
-
He Yunting came back this time also because of Xu Zhiheng.
Xu Zhiheng's academic lecture was held as scheduled. He Yunting originally wanted to arrange someone to follow him, but in the end, for the sake of caution, he chose to let Lu Anhe go to protect and follow.
Originally everything was arranged well, and Lu Anhe kept in touch with He Yunting in secret.
But the accident happened in an instant.
When Lu Anhe was about to leave the stage and saw a strange omega trying to pounce on Xu Zhiheng, it was too late.
When Lu Anhe cut off the communication, he only said "I will definitely ensure his safety", nothing else.
-
Lin Han didn't know what was going on when he arrived at the base.
Since few people knew about this, the base was no different than usual.
The people at the base were familiar with him, and because of his relationship with He Yunting and what he had said before, they understood that Lin Han was here to get something, so no sergeant stopped him. Lin Han was still curious why Lu Anhe was not there, but when he returned to the room he had reserved, he saw He Yunting with a cold face as soon as he opened the door.
He looked different than usual.
In front of him was the stone that he had given to Lin Han as a birthday present, and he seemed to have been staring at it for a long time.
He Yunting had a solemn expression on his face as he sat alone in the room where Lin Han had stayed briefly. His eyes almost lacked some life when he looked at him.
After seeing that it was Lin Han who came, He Yunting unexpectedly did not call him.
Lin Han felt something strange instantly, and without any other thoughts, he held the other person's hand.
It was at that moment that he heard the whole story.
He knew that the current situation was not optimistic, and that He Yunting was confused despite his calm appearance.
At the last moment, he finally heard the voice in He Yunting's heart.
[I can’t even protect my own adjutant…]
How dare I love him? 】
-
"General." Lin Han called him.
He Yunting raised his eyes when he heard the voice, with the corners of his lips straight.
He kept his hand on He Yunting's hand until he heard the last sentence, then he slowly let go.
Lin Han wanted to say a lot.
The moment he raised his hand, he saw He Yunting's military jacket. He had worn that jacket many times and it was now wrinkled. It seemed that He Yunting had been really confused for a long time, but he didn't even have a way to confide in others, so he could only choose to sit here.
For example, it turns out that you love me too.
Why won't you tell me anything?
But when he faced He Yunting's face, he couldn't say anything.
He could read He Yunting's weakness, as well as his hesitation and uneasiness.
There is no news about Lu Anhe now. Apart from him, the only person who knows about this matter is Qi Jiamu.
He Yunting could not show up in person, and although Qi Jiamu went to the scene as soon as possible, he could only stay in the dark.
Lin Handao only knows these things now.
He walked forward a few steps and slowly moved his hand, which was originally on He Yunting, down.
What could be worse than this?
There won’t be any more.
All the conspiracies were slowly unveiled in front of the two of them, and they both endured it passively, one refused to speak, and the other had concerns.
"He Yunting, He Yunting..." Lin Han spoke, seemingly very calmly, with only the slightly trembling corners of his lips revealing his completely opposite emotions at the moment.
Lin Han's face was burning. He seemed to want to cry all the time since he met He Yunting, but he couldn't stop it, and he didn't want to continue living in unnecessary self-suspicion and wavering.
Just think of it as being willful or irresponsible.
He is obviously so sad too, why can't I be with him?
The room that Lin Han had lived in before had good soundproofing, which blocked out the sounds of the soldiers' training outside the door, giving him the illusion that there were only two of them in the world.
Lin Han's eyes and nose felt sore, and his heart was aching.
"He Yunting," Lin Han called his name for the third time. He tried to purse his lips tightly to prevent his emotions from being too obvious, but with a blink of an eye, tears started to fall again. Now that he had said it all, he might as well just let it go. "You obviously treat me differently than you treat others."
There was an emotion in He Yunting's eyes that could almost be described as fragile, his eyes were deep, and he said nothing.
"You clearly had a reaction the first time you saw me."
"You told me that I have beautiful eyes, and that I look cute when I blush and sleep."
"You were almost stabbed at the dance, but you pushed me away the first time, not wanting me to see that scene."
"You said you believed in me, and you gave me the stars just because you hoped I wouldn't be unhappy."
Lin Han cried as he spoke. He must look very ugly now, but he didn't care about anything else. He just reached out and lightly grabbed the ribbon of He Yunting's military uniform.
"Yes, and you also said that you wanted to tie my hands with a ribbon and blindfold me."
The scene in front of Lin Han was completely blurred, tears blurred his eyelashes, and his voice was filled with sobs.
But he still tried to raise his head and look at the person in front of him, remembering the nebula he had taken him to see, his hug, and his gentle yet restrained mark.
He Yunting seemed to be stunned. He never expected that some of his previous subconscious thoughts would actually come out of Lin Han's mouth, word for word.
Lin Han couldn't see the subtle expressions on He Yunting's face. Seeing that He Yunting didn't say anything, he was probably unwilling, but he still mustered up his courage and moved closer to He Yunting. He whispered softly at a very close distance, seemingly questioning, but also as if he was just talking to himself.
"I'm standing right here, dare you to love me?"
-
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment.
After Lin Han finished speaking, he felt a lot more relieved, although he still couldn't control his emotions. His chest heaved slightly. The fingers that were originally grabbing the ribbon moved to his chest, wrinkling the clothes in front of He Yunting, but he was unwilling to let go.
He just grabbed his clothes and didn't touch the other person's hand. After hearing those words just now, he suddenly didn't want to know what He Yunting was thinking. He didn't even feel embarrassed, but just felt relieved.
He Yunting let him hold him without saying a word.
His most trusted lieutenant was now in danger of life or death, and the person he had always wanted was standing before him, asking him why he was so cowardly.
He Yunting seemed to have calmed down completely. His face returned to its usual indifference, but he lowered his brows so that Lin Han could not get a glimpse of anything in his blue eyes.
He seemed to be waiting for Lin Han to calm down, but also seemed not to be.
It was very quiet all around, with only the unsteady breathing of Lin Han being the only sound.
And the next second, He Yunting suddenly moved.
He not so gently pushed Lin Han against the door, held him in his arms, closed his eyes and bit his red and trembling lips.
The author has something to say: #He Yunting is done#
