“Brother Hongqing will definitely be safe and sound.”
Ah Li held Lin Wenqing's hand tightly because his hand was very cold.
Lin Wenqing gently hugged Ah Li, repeating, "Yes, he'll definitely be alright."
At night, Lin Wenqing did not go inside. He stood outside, with the big yellow dog pawing at his feet.
Old Man Lin looked at him strangely and asked, "Wenqing, what are you doing standing here?"
"I have some trouble sleeping."
"Then when you go back to your room later, don't disturb Ahri."
"good."
Lin Wenqing looked at Ali's house, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but in the end, he went in anyway.
When he came in, he found that Ahri was still awake; she was sitting in the dark.
Lin Wenqing walked over and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Ahri slowly looked up at him. "He's the one who got into trouble, isn't he?"
Hearing the suppressed sobs, Lin Wenqing stopped. "You..."
Ah Li sat in the darkness, her voice filled with endless sorrow as she said, "It was Lin Wenqing who had the accident. Why did you come back in his place? If you hadn't come back, I would have continued to believe that he was still in the military camp, just like before, and that it was normal for him not to come back."
'Lin Wenqing' touched his face. He was indeed not him; he was Hongqing. 'I'm sorry.'
Ahri wiped away her tears, suppressing her immense grief, and said, "There's no need to apologize. He already said that protecting you is his responsibility upon returning this time. It's a death order given to him by the general. He's a soldier; he won't disobey orders."
"But I'm just a woman, all I want is for him to be alright."
Ah Li cried desperately. Hong Qing wanted to go up and comfort her, but he stopped there and didn't take a step forward. His words were weak and powerless. He said, "He will come back. My men haven't found him. He is now just missing his life."
In the darkness, Ahri's cries gradually subsided.
Hongqing walked to the bedside and pulled the blanket up for Ali, who had fallen asleep crying. She was deeply in love with him; her heart belonged only to him, and there was no room for anyone else.
The next day, Ah Li found that Hong Qing was asleep leaning against the bed. Just as she was about to get up, Hong Qing woke up and tried to help her.
Ah Li moved aside and said, "Let's not tell Dad yet, let's keep it a secret for now."
Hongqing noticed that Ahri's gaze wasn't on him, and he said, "Okay."
Not long after, Ahri gave birth to a son.
Old Man Lin was very happy and said, "My Lin family has a worthy successor."
Old Man Lin never intended for Ah Li to have more children, because his Lin family had only one son per generation for generations, and there had never been a case of having two children.
On the other side, after seeing off the midwife, Lin Wenqing went straight into the house to see Ah Li.
Old Man Lin stood outside the house looking inside. He didn't go in; it wouldn't be appropriate. He told Lin Wenqing to take good care of Ali and the child, and he would go and cook some soup for Ali.
However, it's quite strange that his son went out to see the midwife off, and when he came back, his face was terribly pale, and he looked unwell.
There was another person at the door at that moment. Old Man Lin looked over, smiled the next second, and greeted him, "Brother Hongqing, you're back too! Come in and sit down!"
"good."
Hongqing breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he was back alive.
At that time, at the post station, he revealed his princely identification and gave a strict order to find Lin Wenqing.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off; Lin Wenqing was found, but he was in critical condition and his life hung by a thread.
Lin Wenqing, barely holding on, grasped Hongqing's hand as if giving his last words, "Please go back and check on her for me. She's probably about to give birth. Please keep it from her and don't let her know that something happened to me. Please."
Right now, this person doesn't seem to be in any serious condition.
He just escorted the midwife back, and Lin Wenqing was also brought back; they even exchanged clothes.
Hongqing also said to Lin Wenqing, "Your wife recognized me immediately and cried her eyes out. When you get back, comfort her. Also, your father doesn't know I'm not you yet, so don't give yourself away."
Lin Wenqing had barely escaped with his life, and he had come to terms with some things. He hugged Hongqing and said, "Thank you."
Inside the room, Ah Li had a headscarf tied around her head and was lying down. Lin Wenqing walked over and took Ah Li's hand.
Ah Li opened her eyes and looked over. She wanted to cry. This person had returned.
Lin Wenqing lowered his head and touched Ali's forehead. His eyes were also red. He said, "Don't cry. Crying is bad for your eyes after giving birth."
He also noticed a wooden board in the corner.
Ah Li sniffed, raised her hand to hug Lin Wenqing's neck, and kissed his lips.
She knew he would be alright; after all, he was the male lead. If he died, the world would issue a warning.
After Ahri finished kissing the person, she moved back a little and said, "You come up and lie down too. You don't look too good either."
Lin Wenqing shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just tired from traveling. You rest first, I'll go out and help Dad. Brother Hongqing is outside too."
"good."
Ali didn't show any different expression when Lin Wenqing mentioned Hongqing's name.
Lin Wenqing raised his hand and touched Ali's hair. He also looked at the child, who resembled him.
After Ah Li and the others left, she gently tapped the child's face with her finger, "Your father has returned."
Hongqing was outside patting Dahuang's head, and Old Man Lin said, "It still remembers you, it's so affectionate towards you."
"Yes, it's close to me and still remembers that I brought it home."
After Hongqing finished speaking with a smile, he noticed that Lin Wenqing had come out.
Old Man Lin also said to him, "Did you send the midwife back? The midwife told you about the dangers of childbirth for women, and look how scared you were, your face turned pale."
