"Please sit down."
Under Yan Rulong's instructions, Ning Feng silently sat on the sofa in the living room, habitually observing the facilities and layout of the room.
Not all the lights were turned on; only a small lamp in the living room was on, casting a dim, yellowish light in the room.
This was actually Ning Feng's first time visiting Yan Rulong's home.
Awakened beings have their own world, and ordinary people have their own world. Although they interact, they generally do not interfere with each other.
Awakened individuals, in particular, will deliberately conceal their identities and try their best not to affect the lives of ordinary people.
Although Yan Rulong is in the world of the Awakened, and even sits in the position of "the most powerful person" in the Bincheng branch of the Watchers, his wife is not an Awakened.
She was just an ordinary woman with no special abilities who, by chance, came into contact with the world of awakened beings and met the young Yan Rulong.
Ning Feng didn't know what kind of love story unfolded in between, but he knew the final outcome.
They got married and were very happy as a couple, but they didn't have a child until a few years ago.
When Yan Rulong began living this kind of life, although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone deliberately avoided disturbing him.
Ning Feng's actions at this moment were actually somewhat taboo, but he was genuinely confused and wanted to find an answer.
And since Yan Rulong was willing to invite him in, then it doesn't matter.
Perhaps Yan Rulong didn't mind, or perhaps he trusted Ning Feng.
The room is decorated in a cozy style, showing that the owner has put a lot of thought into tidying up and arranging the space. It has a very homey feel, but doesn't feel cluttered.
Yan Rulong brought over a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Ning Feng. He then slowly sat down opposite Ning Feng, holding the coffee cup.
Without urging him, he quietly sipped his coffee, waiting for Ning Feng to speak.
Staring at the rising steam from the coffee, Ning Feng carefully considered his words before slowly speaking:
"Instructor Yan, regarding..."
But when the words reached his lips, Ning Feng hesitated to say them.
Ning Feng, who is usually eloquent, likes to use language to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and is good at manipulating people's hearts, is at a loss for what to do at this moment.
Yan Rulong was the only person he could ask, and probably the only one who could answer his questions.
But should we really ask that question?
Ning Feng was confused. Had Yan Rulong really already come to the answer?
Do you really want to tear open Yan Rulong's wound, which is almost healed, again and then ask him if it hurts?
Is this too cruel for Yan Rulong?
The room was quiet; Ning Feng could even hear two steady breaths coming from the inner room.
Yan Rulong has his own life; he has a wife and children.
He's already moved on, so why disturb his life?
While Ning Feng remained silent, Yan Rulong put down his coffee cup and spoke up:
"Are you here to ask about that resignation letter?"
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Ning Feng hesitated for only a moment before nodding naturally and staring intently at him as he asked:
"Instructor Yan, I don't understand why you did this?"
Ning Feng made his choice at that moment; he no longer wanted to ask for the answer.
Whether Yan Rulong deliberately avoided it or did it unintentionally is not important.
It's good that we changed the subject like this.
"Those weren't your problems to begin with, everyone knows that, every single one of us..."
With his expression as serious as ever, Yan Rulong glanced into the inner room, and after receiving no response, turned back and spoke in a low voice:
"I have made my decision."
"Just like I said before, I'm the commander-in-chief, and those things are all my responsibility. I think..."
In the dim light, Yan Rulong's expression looked somewhat sinister as he stared intently at Ning Feng:
"I should take on this responsibility."
His gaze was complex and profound, seemingly concealing some indescribable emotions, leaving Ning Feng speechless.
"You should have already received the answer from Dr. Lin; she rejected my resignation."
"Procedurally, this is possible, but... I stick to my decision and will continue to apply for resignation until I receive formal approval."
The deep gaze disappeared, and Yan Rulong stopped looking at Ning Feng, raising his coffee cup to take a sip.
"In return, Dr. Lin approved my request for leave."
Looking back at the inner room, Yan Rulong's face showed an unusual gentleness and tenderness.
"Overwatch doesn't need a commander like me, but my family can't do without me."
"During this time, I will spend more time with them and make up for the responsibilities I haven't been able to fulfill as a husband and father."
Ning Feng remained silent; he didn't know what else he could say.
Should I offer some advice or persuasion to Yan Rulong?
Yan Rulong was determined to leave, and nothing Ning Feng said now would make a difference, not to mention that his reasons were very convincing.
So you just agree with that?
Ning Feng felt that this was not the correct answer; something seemed to be wrong.
Therefore, he could only remain silent.
Having understood Ning Feng's attitude, Yan Rulong sighed and asked:
"Anything else you want to ask?"
Knowing he was destined to get no answer today, Ning Feng didn't persist in pressing for an answer, and silently shook his head.
"Okay, that's all... Instructor Yan, I won't bother you any longer today."
"I hope, I hope there will be another opportunity to work with you in the future. Please take a good rest during this time."
Upon hearing this, Ning Feng slowly stood up, bowed to Yan Rulong, and decisively walked towards the door.
Yan Rulong did not try to stop him, nor did he get up, letting Ning Feng leave with a serious expression.
