Xu Cheng saw four skulls moving towards him, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming. However, the pain in his abdomen confirmed that it was real.
From the voice, he could tell that it was Lin Lei's voice. He closed his eyes to not let himself see the exaggerated scene. Right now, he just wanted to know what happened to his eyes.
Maybe only those dead professors would know that Xu Cheng's eyes were equivalent to some kind of potential upgrade!
Before this, his eyes already had the ability to capture the details of a scene. But after this all-out battle, his brain and eyeballs locked onto hundreds of people to a certain extent. In a situation where his brain was overloaded with information and processing, his eyes had unknowingly transformed.
Or rather, it was sublimation.
From the initial stage of capturing details to the next step of being able to see through certain substances. In other words, he seemed to be able to see through everything, including steel and flesh.
"Water, I'm thirsty," Xu Cheng weakly said.
After Li Lei handed him the water on the table, Xu Cheng didn't drink it at all. Instead, he stuck it on his palm and wiped his eyes. After his eyes were moisturized, he felt a lot more comfortable. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Lin Chuxue's family was looking at him with concern.
"Dad, Mom, you guys are here?" Xu Cheng greeted Lin Guiren and his wife.
Lin Guiren sat by the window, patted his shoulder, and said with a gratified smile, "Good job, you didn't lose your dad's face. I didn't expect you to come back and join the military."
"My dad is a soldier, and I want to be like him," Xu Cheng said.
Lin Guiren wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he said goodbye to his wife, and then Mama Lin brought Lin Chuxue and Lin Lei out of the ward.
Xu Cheng was curious, not knowing what Lin Guiren wanted to say to him.
Lin Guiren sighed. "Before your dad died, he wanted me to raise you well and let you live a stable life after you go to school. Xiao Cheng, do you know why I betrothed Chuxue to you? I don't mean anything else. You know how beautiful Chuxue is, and all the men in the world who like her can be high officials or even the British Empire. No matter who is worthy of her, it will be a stressful thing. Handing her over to you is actually very contradictory. On one hand, I want you to be motivated by having such an outstanding and beautiful wife. I hope that you can take good care of her, give her happiness, give her a sense of security, and be her man. On the other hand, I don't want Brother Xu's only child to die. I actually hope that you can live a stable life with Chuxue. I didn't expect you to join the army, and even more so, I didn't expect you to fight to the death today. "
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "Dad, I've also resisted myself before. To be honest, I really want to live an ordinary life like this, but what happened to my dad made me constantly think of my mother, who I've never met before. I just want to know the truth, or maybe I just want to tell her that my dad is dead and can she go see my dad in front of his grave? She has no idea how much my dad misses him. Maybe this is only a part of it. Actually, my biggest motivation comes from Chuxue. "
Lin Guiren was surprised, and he looked at Xu Cheng with a questioning gaze.
Xu Cheng chuckled. "When you betrothed Chuxue to me, I was really happy, really happy. But I rejected it because I wasn't strong enough. My dad told me this before he died. He said, 'To judge a man, just look at the woman he has.' Even now, I still remember that if I was weak and not strong enough, how could I have Chuxue? I know that not only in Britain, but all over Europe, her beauty was once at the top of social media forums, and countless rich and powerful people wanted to marry her. If I wasn't strong enough, then I would follow in my dad's footsteps. So, after I came back to China, I joined the army. I wanted to completely change myself, no matter how hard it was, no matter if it was to find the woman who abandoned us or for Chuxue, if I wanted to continue living my life, I had to become stronger. "
Lin Guiren nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. "Xu Cheng, I won't stop you if you want to find your mother, but have you ever thought about getting involved in the matters of the previous generation? The grudge between your dad and the Ye Family actually ended when your dad passed away. I'm very happy that you can change yourself, but it's very dangerous sometimes, you know? Can you promise that you won't drag Chuxue into this? "
"Um …" Xu Cheng was in a difficult position.
Lin Guiren sighed. "Ever since you joined the army and changed yourself, I knew you couldn't let go of the grudge between your dad and the Ye Family. If you want to get involved, then I won't stop you. But for Chuxue's sake, I'm here this time to divorce you guys and take her back to England."
Xu Cheng looked at his quilt and didn't know what to say.
He and Chuxue had been in a cold war for a few years. Back then, her parents tried to help them get married, but there was no progress. Now, there was nothing wrong with getting a divorce, but for some reason, Xu Cheng felt a bit unhappy.
Maybe when he was struggling and working hard, thinking about the other Lin Chuxue's name and photo on the marriage certificate would warm his heart and fill him with motivation. Although they were worlds apart, whenever Xu Cheng was in a difficult situation, as long as he thought about how everything he did was to make himself worthy of Lin Chuxue, he would be able to ignite endless hope. This was also why the instructor of the 5th Military Region said that he was a soldier who created miracles.
All of this, Xu Cheng didn't tell Lin Chuxue because he didn't want her to look down on him. Also, when he failed the test to enter the Dragon Division, why did he get drunk? The feeling of all his previous efforts going down the drain was really unbearable, and it also made him even more afraid to face Lin Chuxue.
"What did Chuxue say? Is this what she wants? "Xu Cheng looked up at Lin Guiren and asked.
"She said she needs some time to think about it," Lin Guiren said.
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "Maybe she knows that I'm injured and hospitalized, and if we divorce now, it would be a huge blow to me. Dad, if Chuxue wants to leave, then I can sign the divorce anytime. "
Outside, Lin Lei leaned against the wall and said to Lin Chuxue, who was sitting on a chair in the hallway, "No matter who you marry in the future, I'll only recognize the one in this room as my brother-in-law. Maybe you don't know how much he's done for you in the dark, but I do. Leaving aside his background and status, my brother-in-law's qualifications, education, and abilities are all top-notch. Ever since he was young, he gave off the impression of being rebellious, and he was always punished by the school. He was often on the list of bad guys, and a lot of people called him a bastard without parents. Some even called him a yellow-skinned monkey, and the teachers even said that he was mentally ill due to his low self-esteem. But, Sis, you know, because you are too outstanding, he can only clean up after you in the dark. How many guys have their eyes on you? Why is my brother-in-law always getting into fights with people? Sometimes, after school, you would only see blood on the corner of his mouth. It's all because of you. Also, he didn't want you to know about the fact that he was kicked out of college. That third son of the British Empire's 2nd Prince took a liking to you and did something to your water bottle. If my brother-in-law found out, he would cripple that guy! Later on, you couldn't even see that 2nd Prince's son anymore. I'm someone who shares the same room with my brother-in-law, and I often ask him if it's worth it. Although you are my sister, I just don't think it's worth it. "
Lin Chuxue's eyes were already red. "What did he say?"
Lin Lei: "He said, 'I want you to be beautiful forever, just like the first time he saw you when he was fostered at home. You are like a beautiful flower, quietly blooming there, and no one can touch you.'"
