In a quaint courtyard, Jin Yining followed behind an old man, watching him trim the lush roses.
“Those of us in this line of work aren’t soldiers or police officers. Even if you die, no one might know. You’ll only be mourned in secret, and we might not even be given a title. But what we do often means no return.” Chu Ningyi said calmly, placing the pruned roses in a basket to the side, which he would take back to his wife later.
Jin Yining listened silently, “When I chose you, your grandfather even came over and we had a fight.”
"My grandfather contacted you?" Jin Yining looked up, clearly not expecting this.
After Chu Ningyi finished pruning a plant, Jin Yining hurriedly picked up a basket and followed her.
“This position isn’t afraid of your passion, it’s afraid of your ruthlessness.” Chu Ningyi straightened up and tapped the surface with his hand. “You’ve experienced far more darkness than you’ve seen light. If a person has no feelings left, they can’t stay in this position.”
Jin Yining listened to Chu Ningyi's words. He had known Chu Ningyi since he was a child, this legendary person. Later, by chance, he met him with his grandfather. Afterwards, he secretly followed his grandfather and gradually got to where he is today, becoming Chu Ningyi's second successor after Luo Shen.
"Go ahead and do whatever you want. Trust your instincts. Remember, don't hesitate. The 3,787 people on your shoulders are not a burden, but your support."
As a leader, he is responsible for each of his comrades. If he is not careful, someone will disappear in places that cannot be seen.
Therefore, it's impossible for Jin Yining not to be under pressure.
"I see."
"Go see a doctor. If this continues, you'll die not from the enemy, but from a high fever. Go now." Chu Ningyi took the basket, indicating that he could leave.
Jin Yining nodded, turned and left. As he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Chu Ningyi's wife coming over to call him back for dinner. The two left together, and Jin Yining kept watching their retreating figures.
He knew from a very young age that this legendary figure had a wife he loved most in his life. Only after he took over the position did he realize that Chu Ningyi had taken over the position entirely because his wife was the chosen one, and he had taken the position for her sake.
To love one's beloved for a lifetime is a life everyone longs for, and he is no exception.
However, it's not the right time yet.
Jin Yining thought about it and then turned and left.
Meanwhile, Shang Ning and Zhao Xinxin were still at home discussing what to do for their live stream.
"Are you afraid of gaining weight? How about doing a mukbang?" Zhao Xinxin has been watching mukbang videos a lot lately. She sees that Shang Ning is very thin, but she doesn't know if he can eat a lot.
"I'm not afraid of gaining weight, I just don't have the money to buy ingredients."
Zhao Xinxin: "..."
Zhao Xinxin paced around the study, "You used to dance really well, how about you do a live singing and dancing broadcast?"
Shang Ning looked completely bewildered. "Anyone watching this?"
She'd heard of mukbang (eating broadcasts), but singing and dancing? Nobody watches that, right?
"Were you ever in this industry before? There are plenty of singers and dancers out there. Get out of the way, let me find some of their live streams for you."
Shang Ning automatically gave up her seat, which made her feel utterly disliked.
"So what can you do?"
"Giving lectures? Giving speeches? Conducting experiments?"
Zhao Xinxin looked up at Shang Ning with a look of disgust, "Why don't you just start live-streaming your lessons?"
