Chapter 219: 181

Regretfully, Ya Yan just faintly smiled at her, "Could you ask Hongyu to book a flight back to Ming City for tomorrow noon? I miss my brother and don’t want to stay here anymore."

"Alright." Chen Yao nodded, more certain in her heart that Ya Yan must have been... forced by those people; she has to keep trying to contact them.

Looking at Ya Yan’s carefree smile, Chen Yao sneered inside.

It’s the first time she discovered, this stupid Yan Ya, who is always fooled by her, has also learned to hide her feelings, and is doing a good job at it.

Only when Chen Yao’s figure had disappeared and the main gate was locked, did Ya Yan suddenly collapse onto the bed, clutching Mu Lin’s clothing, her body curling slightly.

For the first time, she felt a chill in her heart.

...

On the other hand, as Mu Lin left the hotel, she casually hailed a taxi, and after it had been on the road for a while, she asked the driver to stop by a rubbish bin, tossing Ya Yan’s shredded clothes, bag and all, into it.

Mu Lin thought, today, she had used the kindness she hadn’t used in many years.

However, Mu Lin’s intuition told her that she might still need her help in Ming City. At that time, consider it as repaying her lifesaving grace.

The little bunny was naive but incredibly stubborn, if she had really been insulted by those hooligans today, Mu Lin believed she would have chosen death without hesitation.

The driver didn’t mind Mu Lin throwing things away, but he was particularly interested in Mu Lin’s military background.

Why? Because he used to be a retired solder.

The aura emanating from Mu Lin was a familiar aroma he recognized, a smell exclusive to soldiers, especially female soldiers who have a tougher time than males due to differences in physical strength.

The entire drive to the military area it was the driver talking incessantly while Mu Lin closed her eyes for some rest. Whether she was listening to his conversations, only heaven, earth and Mu Lin would know.

Watching Mu Lin disappear into the military area’s main gate, a sense of nostalgia and emotion crossed the driver’s face.

He hadn’t expected to be this close to a military unit again for a day, even though this wasn’t the unit he used to be in.

How he missed his comrades.

...

Returning to the dormitory, when she heard the door opening, Yue Qiao looked up at Mu Lin, "Mu Lin, where is your coat?" She remembered Mu Lin should have been wearing a coat this morning.

"I gave it away." Mu Lin answered with a faint smile.

"Gave it away?" she raised her eyebrows slightly as if thinking about something, "Seems like you’ve come across something interesting today." She had never heard of Mu Lin meeting anyone other than the Jing family.

"Indeed, I met an intriguing rabbit." Mu Lin smiled, "A stubborn but clinging rabbit." To be honest, Mu Lin didn’t handle such people very well.

"Rabbit." Yue Qiao mused, guessing that she was referring to a person, but she didn’t pursue it further. Yue Qiao wasn’t as curious as Ye Xiwen who was intrigued by everything.

The next day, the training of the new recruits was still in full swing. Looking at the recruits who came in with ill-fitting uniforms, to the disciplined, imposing men they were now, Ling Qi was quite satisfied.

These boys were finally shaping up.

...

Ming City.

It was afternoon by the time she got back home, and as soon as she stepped through the door, someone took her luggage.

"Is my brother back yet?"

Servant: "The Young Master has just arrived and is probably resting in his room now."

Ya Yan nodded, "I see." And then she strode off towards her older brother, Yan Zilei’s room. She had some matters to discuss with him that she couldn’t decide on alone.

Regrettably, Ya Yan admitted that in this household, her parents always listened to her eldest brother’s opinion. What big brother said, went.

She reached the door and knocked, "Big Brother, may I come in?"

"The door’s not locked — come in." A deep voice called from inside, and Ya Yan cheerfully pushed the door open.

However, right after she entered the room, she was met with a sight that nearly caused her to burst a blood vessel in her nose.

"Did you just shower, Big Brother?" He hadn’t even put his clothes back on yet. Ya Yan rubbed her own nose, unabashedly appreciative.

No point wasting a good view.

"Mmhmm." The man turned around. His hawk-like gaze was sharp under his sweeping eyebrows; his thin lips slightly pursed, his distinct facial features, the icy glint in his eyes was like an eagle in the night sky, cold, proud, and showing an overwhelming dominance as he stood alone.

This man was charming. Despite being siblings in the same household, their personalities were totally different.

He put on a shirt, looked at Ya Yan, "Why did you come back so soon?" Didn’t she say that she was going to be away for a week or half a month? It’s only been three days. And, "What happened to your clothes?" They’re not her size at all, and completely different from what she typically wears.

"About this..." As soon as the topic of her clothes came up, Ya Yan couldn’t hide her joy. "My lifesaver gave me these clothes, aren’t they cool!" She could still recall Mu Lin leaping down from the tall wall, effortlessly taking down all those hooligans — it couldn’t have been cooler.

"I’ll tell you, Big Brother, Mu Lin looks even cooler in these clothes." Her eyes were filled with nothing but admiration.

However, she spoke at length, but what Yan Zilei fixated on were the four words that mattered most to him, "Lifesaver! What happened?" The cold glint in his eyes and his icy tone made Ya Yan shudder.

It’s over! She’d accidentally let slip.
