As soon as he finished speaking, the announcement sounded at the airport again. “The plane from the Federation’s Central City to Country H will be checked in half an hour. Passengers who are resting, please be prepared in advance.”
The two of them found two empty seats in the crowd and sat down. Ye Ying put down the box in his hand and looked into the distance through the window. Slowly, his eyes revealed a hint of melancholy.
Perhaps Ye Ying himself did not notice the change in his eyes, but the smallest detail could not escape Shan Yue’s sharp eyes.
Even though she wasn’t looking into Ye Ying’s eyes, she could still vaguely feel the change in his emotions.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with going back this time? You’re not alone. Tell me what you have to say. You don’t have to bottle it up. No matter what you choose to do, someone will always cover for your actions.”
When Shan Yue spoke, she did not look at Ye Ying beside her. Instead, she looked at the distant sky like him. “Do you know why geese migrate in groups? It’s because it’s difficult for a single tree to form a forest. No matter how strong a geese is, they still have to rely on the strength of a team, and you and I are both one of the geese.”
“Shan Yue, I understand what you’re saying. You saved me back then. No matter what, you’re someone I’ll trust unconditionally for the rest of my life.” The corners of Ye Ying’s lips curled up slightly and his eyes became deep and firm. “But there’s really nothing this time. I believe I’ll bring people back in a few days.”
“Since when did you start hiding things from me? You know that I’ve never done anything I’m not confident of. 1 can tell at a glance from your expression if you have something on your mind or if you’re lying.”
Shan Yue leaned back in her chair and draped one leg over the other. “In front of others, you might be the boss of a mercenary group. Everyone respects and fears you. But in front of me, you’re like my younger brother. A younger brother has never lied to his sister.”
“No, I’m not deliberately hiding it from you. Actually, I only found out about this last night at midnight. So far, no one knows except me.”
Ye Ying retracted his gaze and told Shan Yue what happened last night. “Yu Feng sent me a message. Some of the surrounding forces know that I’m not around and have already started to stir. Some even set up camp around my base.”
“So, I guess now because of this, there are two things that are worrying you.” Shan Yue’s expression was calm as her lips parted slightly. “Firstly, you’re definitely not afraid, but you’re afraid that if you go back too late, or if the two sides really fight, your brothers will suffer. Secondly, you’re afraid that if I find out about this, the situation on both sides will distract me and delay me.”
“You’re right. Nothing can escape your eyes.” After a long pause, Ye Ying nodded slowly. “It’s mainly because this was an emergency. I originally thought that I would settle it myself when I got back. I didn’t think of telling you, but you still saw through me before I boarded the plane.”
“Then why didn’t you tell Chang Ling that such a huge thing had happened in the regiment? If you don’t resolve it properly when you go back, there might be a huge change. You should have asked him to go back and face it with you.”
Although Shan Yue still looked calm, she was still very concerned about Ye Ying. “Besides, you’re facing a force gathered by many gangs this time. The scale is definitely not inferior to yours. Chang Ling can still be by your side when he goes back. If there’s anything, you can help each other.”
“Actually, I thought about it last night…”
“Don’t let your thoughts stop at this step. You have to know how many mistakes are caused by empty thoughts and not taking actual actions.” Shan Yue’s clear eyes revealed determination. “There’s still some time before your ticket is checked. If you change your mind, there will be enough time for Chang Ling to rush over.”
“There’s no need. Lie’s a very good boy. There’s more promise in staying with you than going back with me.” Ye Ying answered firmly without any hesitation. “I’ve already decided on this. You have to believe me. If anything happens, I’ll definitely inform you immediately. You have to come and save me then..”
