As it was the first time for Yan Huan to see so many Special Forces soldiers, she was most certainly stunned.
“Welcome, Admiral Lu.”
“Hello.” Lu Jin held on to this old comrade’s hand tightly. It was true that whenever comrades meet, tears welled up in their eyes; something which was really difficult to explain with just a few words.
“I saw everything. You did well, and we are all proud of you. You are a good soldier.” This middle-aged man who was dressed in his military uniform stood with his back straight as he saluted Lu Jin.
Lu Jin did the same. Then, the soldiers who were standing around him started to greet him with words such as hello, senior official and you’ve worked hard, senior official. That kind of feeling was enough to leave one in awe. Although Yan Huan was once a soldier as well, she had never seen such an array. Is this a bigger military exercise? There’s so many people.
“Hello, Uncle Fang.” It was evident that Lu Jin knew this man, but what he didn’t expect was that it was actually him who had come to greet them. The status of this Chief Fang was anything but low. He was a rear admiral and also a general.
Lu Jin used to be a rear admiral as well, though now he had become a lieutenant general.
“So young and yet so promising, you are truly a good young man. Our future finally has a successor.” Rear Admiral Fang gave a pat on Lu Yi’s shoulder before turning his gaze to look at Yan Huan.
“Hello, Uncle Fang.” Yan Huan greeted with a sweet tone.
“I know you, you’re Yan Huan.” Rear Admiral Fang smiled, “Everyday, my daughter would tell me that she is your fan. Yes, good child, you have done well. You did not embarrass the military, women are indeed not inferior to men.”
“Thank you for your praise, Chief.” Yan Huan also stood with her back straight and saluted him. Let’s not forget that she was also a soldier, and what a soldier would always do first would be to make a salute. Although she had left the military and was not wearing her military uniform, she will never forget the fact that she was a soldier.
Rear Admiral Fang maintained his smile, then turned to Lu Jin to whisper, “The daughter-in-law that your son has married is not bad. She is very similar to the members of the Lu family, level-headed and responsible. Oh right,” He turned to Yan Huan once again, “Do leave some autographs for your uncle. The little kid in your uncle’s home really likes you.”
“Alright,” Yan Huan replied with a smile. She stood beside Lu Yi, and as the two were the ideal couple, it was easy on the eyes when one was to look at them.
As they got on the plane, it was clear that there were not many people on it. After all, it was a private plane, so it was impossible for it to fit so many people anyways. Of course, it was impossible for there to be people like the paparazzi. Or else, with Yan Huan’s appearance, she didn’t know how many layers she would have to wrap around herself in order to safely enter the airport.
She could imagine that she was famous to a certain extent now. And this sort of fame was not something which she has experienced before, nor had she reached before.
The Yan Huan from the previous life was famous, but she had done bad things, causing gossip to dampen her fame. This life’s Yan Huan did things which were right on her moral compass, as well other’s conscience. Of course, she did the same for her enemies, allowing them to grow up fully.
In the plane, Yan Huan kept her promise by signing quite a number of autographs for Read Amiral Fang. Of course, everyone who came along received one as well.
When they arrived at Sea City, the moment the private plane stopped, an army had already formed a path. Nonetheless, even with such actions, there was still quite a big crowd surrounding the area not far from here. They were all holding Yan Huan’s photos as they yelled out Yan Huan’s name non-stop.
They were calling Yan Huan a hero. This was the first time Yan Huan had become a hero, and that kind of feeling was perhaps something that she would never forget.
She lowered her head and followed behind Lu Yi, and all this while, Lu Yi was holding on to her hand tightly with no signs of loosening his grip.
The paparazzi and everyone else had been separated, but even so, they still tried their best to squeeze themselves to the front. Even when Yan Huan had got in the car, there were still some people chasing after them from behind.
Lu Jin shook his head. When he saw this scene, his body broke out in cold sweat.
“Now I finally understand that it’s not easy being famous. Although I have seen people who admire me while I was in the military, but I have never seen people with such craze. No matter what they do, it would be impossible for them to chase after my car. It’s as if only when they have bit off a chunk of meat from my body will they be satisfied.”
“It’ll be fine once you get used to it.” Yan Huan squeezed the fingers which were on her thigh. She had already gotten used to it for two lives. The more fans you have will show how much capabilities you have. But of course, as a star, one would have to get used to this kind of life whereby there would be no freedom, so even when she wants to leave home, she would have to do it sneakily sometimes.
This was a kind of grandeur, but at the same time, it was also a sort of pitiful life.
When she heard the sound of doors outside, the cups in Ye Shuyun’s hands fell on the floor with a clang.
Have they returned?
Have they… returned?
“Mom, we’re home.”
Lu Yi walked in, and behind him were Yan Huan and Lu Jin.
When Ye Shuyun saw how Lu Jin looked so skinny, tanned and as if he had gone through many hardships in life, she covered her own mouth, and the tears in her eyes fell one after another. She was close to having lived through her whole life, and it was only these few days that she had cried the most.
It was as if she was about to dry out all her tears.
Lu Jin had never made her cry, but this was the one time she had cried so seriously, helplessly and even painfully.
“I’m home.” Lu Jin gave a wide smile. He had always kept a strict and cold front in front of others, but all his guards would fall in front of his wife, even Lu Yi had experienced this before.
Lu Yi squeezed Yan Huan’s hand. “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.” Yan Huan nodded. They left this scene of reunion to this couple who had lived together for a majority of their lives. They had gone through many hardships together and stood by each other all this time. This time, they were almost separated by death.
For Yan Huan, this scene was something that would never appear in her past life. Yan Huan was very relieved that she made this possible, and that this was also the one thing she felt most proud of having done right.
Once they reached their home, Lu Yi took out the medical kit and called for Yan Huan to sit down. Then, he helped her put on the medicine. At this moment, she was covered in injuries, and it was as if there was not one spot on her body that was perfectly fine.
“Look, Luo Lin will scold me to death.” Yan Huan raised both her hands. Injuries were spread all over them, and they were swollen as well. None of her fingers were without injuries, and her arms, which were already thin and white, had now finally turned into two pig feet.
“It hurts, Lu Yi. Do it lighter, it hurts so much.” Yan Huan retracted her hands in pain.
“So you do know that it hurts?” Lu Yi pulled her hands over to him again and put on the medicine. He would not stop putting medicine on her and helping her care for her injuries just because she said it was painful. Even if she cries, he would just make her faint before continuing to apply the medicine and wrapping them up.
“Of course I know it hurts. I’m not a blockhead?” Yan Huan was in so much pain that she had to kick the sofa. What else was she to kick, Lu Yi?
“Lighter.” But Yan Huan could not hold it in anymore, so she kicked Lu Yi’s leg.
“Do you want to kill me?”
