“There’s something I need to tell you. Last time, my grandfather mentioned that one of his soldiers is seriously ill and needs medical treatment, but hospitals all over the country don’t have a good solution. Now that uncle can only lie in bed all day.” Xia Yuwen didn’t mention her relationship with the soldier, nor her feelings for him. “You promised to help if he met your criteria. Now my grandfather has confirmed that the uncle meets your criteria and has contacted the Yi family, but we haven’t received your reply yet. This…”
"Oh, they've been quite busy lately, maybe they missed it. I'll ask them later," Lin Yao replied immediately. He sensed the girl's nervousness and hesitation, guessing she didn't want him to misunderstand her.
With a relieved smile, Lin Yao was very satisfied with Xia Yuwen's performance.
The last time I agreed to this matter was in the reception room of the pharmaceutical factory. General Xia mentioned it then, and I promised to take action when the conditions were right. What followed was intense training and preparations for retaliation against the Jiang family. The entire Yi family was so tense that they couldn't care about anything else, after all, it concerned the survival of the Yi family.
Therefore, Lin Yao understood why the Yi family had missed this information about treating the illness. He figured that either the information hadn't reached Yi Yang and the First Elder Yi Potian, or they had simply forgotten about it.
The Yi family is still dealing with the aftermath of their conflict with the Jiang family. The eldest elder, Yi Potian, and Yi Yang are busy arranging for family members to take up various positions in different military units. I haven't been in contact with the eldest elder for a long time, let alone this kind of external medical treatment matter, which has probably been forgotten by those who have heard the news.
"Thank you!" Xia Yuwen said softly, her ears turning red. She no longer had the carefree attitude she had in Chengdu. She felt very nervous because she had found the older brother of her dreams.
"Do I look a lot like Yoon Joon-hee?" Lin Yao suddenly asked, feeling that he was probably more handsome than the Korean actor who played Eom Joon-hee.
"Ah~~~" Xia Yuwen suddenly stopped, her eyes widening as she covered her mouth in surprise at Lin Yao. She hadn't expected him to ask such a question.
After a slight hesitation, Xia Yuwen lowered her hand, rolled her eyes at Lin Yao, and said, "Tch!"
Lin Yao laughed heartily, thinking the joke was well-made, and Xia Yuwen's eye-rolling expression was so beautiful; he had never had the chance to see it before.
The night grew darker, and without even checking the time, I knew it was past dinnertime. Only the singing enthusiasts, who seemed to have forgotten to eat and sleep, continued to wail in the park, while the number of tourists dwindled.
"It's such a pity that the 35 yuan combined ticket didn't come in handy. I didn't get to see the Circular Mound Altar, the Echo Wall, or the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. It's said that if you pray at the center of the Circular Mound Altar, your wish will come true, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is also very mysterious."
Lin Yao originally wanted to say that the man and woman standing at both ends of the Echo Wall were whispering sweet nothings to each other, and that if they could hear each other, they would surely have a happy marriage. But he held back when he was about to say it, because he didn't want to scare Xia Yuwen.
Xia Yuwen smiled knowingly, glancing sideways at Lin Yao, "You really want to experience the life of an ordinary person like this? So frugal with money?"
“Of course, it’s not easy for ordinary people to earn money, and it’s shameful to waste it! I’m an ordinary person now.” Lin Yao immediately made a plan, then realized that what he said wasn’t quite right, and quickly added, “Of course, none of today’s joint tickets were wasted; they were already great value.”
Xia Yuwen continued to laugh. She didn't mean to blame him; she just found Lin Yao's explanation amusing and was secretly pleased because Lin Yao's last addition showed that he cared a lot about her feelings.
"I'm just regretting that we didn't get to see so many attractions," Lin Yao said, feigning disappointment as he looked at Xia Yuwen. "How about we come back next time?"
"Mmm," Xia Yuwen responded in an almost inaudible voice, lowered her head, and her face turned bright red again.
Lin Yao had exceptional hearing and knew Xia Yuwen's thoughts, which filled him with immense joy.
"I'm going home now, or Grandpa will worry. I'll call you." Xia Yuwen mustered up a lot of courage to finish speaking. It was a little embarrassing for a girl to take the initiative to call someone, but she couldn't care less about that now.
After exchanging phone numbers, Lin Yao put Xia Yuwen in a taxi. As the taxi drove further and further away until it disappeared from sight, he jumped up and down with joy.
I'm going home. I had good luck today.
To save money for his wife, Lin Yao took the bus. He felt he should save money and, since he was experiencing life, he should restrain his behavior.
Just as I was about to get home, my phone, which was basically just for show, rang.
The call connected, and it was from Xiang Honglian, whom I had just mentioned. She invited me to a party that evening, and bluntly said that she would pretend to be her boyfriend who was currently pursuing her, so as not to lose face.
As a colleague he saw every day at work, less than two meters apart, Lin Yao naturally couldn't refuse such a request, so he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao was very confused.
"Is Beijing my lucky place? I've had a string of romantic encounters since I arrived here. Not only have I met Pink Girl again and deepened our relationship, but I'm also getting one fake boyfriend job after another."

============
The party was arranged at "Jupiter Harbor" near Gongzhufen, a large KTV, a six-story building entirely operated by "Jupiter Harbor".
It is said to be a converted old office building of a certain unit, and the annual rent is said to be shockingly cheap. The owner is said to be young (47 years old), capable (owns three KTV chains), and well-connected (all rented from state-owned units, and the rent is shockingly cheap). The only slight flaw is that the owner is married and has an average appearance.
Lin Yao heard all of this from Xiang Honglian, because she was most interested in information about men, especially successful men.
Lin Yao couldn't verify some of the information. As someone who cultivated in the world, he had long avoided using his "golden finger" (a magical ability to enhance one's abilities). Ge Yong's security team hadn't served Lin Yao for a long time either, because he wanted to experience life like an ordinary person. If he knew everything, he would lose the sense of mystery, crisis, and uncertainty, which would be detrimental to his cultivation.
Under this principle, even the restless little grass tries its best to avoid disturbing Lin Yao, in order to cooperate with Lin Yao's cultivation. Generally speaking, the little grass only appears when Lin Yao is off work or when he is not in contact with ordinary people.
Of course, Xiaocao had endured a lot of loneliness for many years, so Lin Yao was even more grateful to her and felt that she was simply a "good wife".
Lin Yao didn't know if the owner owned three chain KTVs, or if the rent was really that exorbitant. Upon arriving at the destination, he was certain that the scale was enormous, with six floors and each floor measuring about 600 square meters, making it a truly large-scale KTV.
However, Xiang Honglian's words were still quite exaggerated. Although Lin Yao did not know whether his boss was married or divorced, his appearance of being fifty-five years old was definitely not "young" as Xiang Honglian described, and he was even older than forty-seven.
