Liang Xianghe, who had just gotten out of the car, did not say anything else.
Instead, he walked slowly towards the base building.
At the same time, when they saw the two people on the field, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were very tactful. They told the others to leave and made way for them.
However, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu were no longer in the mood to pay attention to others.
Their gazes landed on each other. It was as if the stars were emitting a dazzling light.
Lin Yi saw that her eyes were red and glistening with tears.
However, her pride did not let her tears fall.
After some time, Lin Yi raised his head and gestured for Liang Ruoxu to get into the car.
The two of them tacitly got into the car parked at the side.
The moment he closed the door, Lin Yi took a deep breath and took off his mask.
Liang Ruoxu stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was filled with a sense of responsibility.
Excitement!
Surprise!
Incredulity!
The person she had thought was completely dead appeared alive right in front of her!
Even Liang Ruoxu needed a moment to compose herself in the face of such a miraculous event.
“Actually, I never died,” Lin Yi said.
“At that time, I had other tasks, so we staged my death.”
“But the hospital...”
Lin Yi scratched his head, feeling conflicted.
He wanted to make up an excuse, but facing Liang Ruoxu, he couldn’t bring himself to lie.
He imagined the tears she must have shed during this time.
“At that moment, I was indeed close to death, with just a faint breath left. It was so weak that neither the machines nor the doctors detected it.”
Liang Ruoxu’s heart raced as her subconscious slowly began to accept this reality.
“Then, when did you regain consciousness?”
“I woke up when I was sent to the crematorium.” Lin Yi said.
“After Elder Lu found out about this, he beat me at my own game and did not announce that I had come back to life.”
Even though Lin Yi had appeared in front of her again, Liang Ruoxu was still angry. He didn’t tell her about such a big matter.
Liang Ruoxu took out some cosmetics from her bag and touched up her makeup. Then, Lin Yi drove out of the Central Guards Brigade.
Along the way, Liang Ruoxu’s emotions calmed down. Her joy was written all over her face.
She wasn’t someone who couldn’t understand the bigger picture. Given her upbringing, she understood Lin Yi’s situation well.
Their ability to operate above the rules of ordinary people came with privileges that weren’t granted for free.
Naturally, it required sacrifices and silent contributions behind the scenes. Lin Yi had his reasons for this.
Liang Ruoxu booked a private room at a Guandong restaurant.
They both needed a quiet environment to talk.
Although they were there for a meal, neither ate much, only nibbling a bit.
Their conversation centered entirely on the events that had transpired during this time.
From the incident in Panem to the murder of Fosse.
Lin Yi explained everything in detail. He could only tell Liang Ruoxu about these things.
Because she understood the chaos of this world better than herself.
Only then did Liang Ruoxu realize how miserable Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had been in Panem.
She shuddered at the thought of them hiding in the sewers for three days.
Liang Ruoxu grabbed Lin Yi’s hand tightly.
“Don’t ever do anything so dangerous again.”
As he spoke, Liang Ruoxu’s grip tightened. “If that’s the case, I’d rather you quit the Central Guards Brigade.”
“Don’tworry, I know what I’m doing. I’ll definitely be careful in the future.” Liang Ruoxu suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yi with a burning gaze. “I don’t want attention. I want your absolute safety.”
Lin Yi felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He didn’t say what he wanted to say.
At this point, it was obviously inappropriate to say anything else.
He reached out and combed Liang Ruoxu’s hair as he looked at her gently.
“I can guarantee my own safety. I won’t let you worry anymore, let alone be separated from you.”
Liang Ruoxu was moved. What she wanted was a promise like Lin Yi’s.
During this time, she had regretted her actions countless times.
There were many things she didn’t have time to do with him. And this time, she didn’t want to leave any regrets.
Liang Ruoxu leaned towards Lin Yi and took the initiative to kiss him.
