Chapter 125 - She's a Bit of a Tiger

He wants to meet you, but I told him Id have to ask you about it first. Huaijun said. I dont know what kind of mission youre on right now, after all, and I dont wanna meddle in your business too much. You dont have to meet him if you cant.

Mission Lin Yi scratched at his nose a little as he smiled bitterly. I dont know what this mission even is, to be honest with you Ill meet him- hes your saviour, isnt he? Of course Ill meet him.

Ah? You dont have to force it Huaijun was touched- Lin Yi wasnt someone whod meddle with other peoples business, and he was sure that Lin Yi wouldnt be bothered to meet some random stranger if it werent for Huaijuns involvement.

Theres nothing to force...Im really free anyway. Lin Yi said with a smile. Ill also have an easier time in Songshan if I have a criminal police captain backing me up, right?

Alright then. You set the time. Huaijun said without any bullshitting- his friendship with Lin Yi was well past the point of them having to waste their breath on thanks with each other.

Tomorrow then? Tell Wang Zhifeng that you need me for a written statement at the police station tomorrow, and Ill be able to get out nicely. I dont wanna skip class if possible Lin Yi said as he pointed in the doors direction.

Kay. Ill communicate that to him later. Huaijun said with a nod- it wasnt anything much.

Ah, I forgot to give you the medicine I made. Ill give it to you later- your body will lose a lot of tension after you finish the first stage treatment. Ill make the second stage medicine for you later, and youll be back to normal in about three months. Lin Yi said.

Three months? Huaijun asked, completely stunned as he stared at Lin Yi.

Well, it can be two months if it goes well. Lin Yi said, mistaking Huaijuns tone and thinking that three months was too long for him. Eastern medicine soup isnt known for being delicious, but youll have to endure it for two months for your body to recover

Are you joking, Lin Yi? Ill be back to normal in just two months? Huaijun was getting a little excited. Are you serious? The doctor said itll be a great fortune if my condition doesnt worsen, and youre telling me I can recover from this?

Ugh So its not about the bitterness in the medicine? Lin Yi smiled. What, dont trust me?

Of course I do! I trust you, but its just- its so shocking! Huaijun said, utterly trusting of Lin Yis words despite his surprise. Theyd manage to get out of many tough situations back on the battlefields with just Lin Yis accurate judgements alone, even making a comeback against an enemy or two when they were being chased down. Lin Yis words, as a result, held absolute reign in the team, his orders always carried out without any hesitation in the slightest. You Bitterness in the soup? I dont even feel bullets when they hit me, you think Ill be afraid of some bitterness in the soup? Mocking me

Heh Dont be too sure, Ive seen the most fearless of people cower before a syringe or bitter medicine Lin Yi laughed. Come to the classroom with me later, Ill give it to you.

Captain, youre really-! Huaijun had no words for the joy inside him- hed prepared for the worst, living each day as if it were his last, waiting for the painkillers and massaging to lose their effect one day He didnt expect Lin Yi to be able to cure him completely!

Huaijun still found it hard to suppress his stunned joy, even if he did treat Lin Yi as a godly existence in the team. Lin Yi was young, and he should be somewhere around seven or eight years younger than him, close to Yis age- yet the guy was so unbelievably resourceful!! He knew his way around everything, and Huaijun couldnt help but wonder where Lin Yi learned all that knowledge from.

Honestly though, I kinda miss the days in the warzones Lin Yi said, lamenting upon hearing Huaijun call him captain.

Yeah, and Yi- Huaijun cut his sentence off abruptly as he noticed Lin Yis face change at the name

Lets not talk about that Lin Yi sighed. Whats past is past.

But Yis still looking for you, and I Huaijun felt bad for Yi, but it was no wish of his to go against his captains intentions

Then tell her that Eagles dead. Lin Yi said faintly, a hint of sadness in his eyes. Indeed- hed been given a new identity, and a new mission. It was a reincarnation, a new life thatd end again as the mission was completed.

But Huaijun was just about to say something else when Lin Yi interrupted him.

Just tell her that the next time you see her. Lin Yi said. Lets not lead her on, yeah? You know how it is with people like us, theres no telling when well die on a mission one day You dont want her to be waiting for me forever, do you?

Huaijun only lowered his head, helpless- Lin Yi was right: their lives were far more dangerous than the police job he had right now. Lin Yi was an asura, something like a godly entity- but who was to say that even a god of war would live forever?

Then you and Song Huaijun said, suddenly remembering how intimate the two were rumored to be.

Ive nothing to do with her- do you believe me? Lin Yi smiled bitterly, not expecting the news from the hospital to reach even Huaijuns ears. Rumors spread like wildfire, it seemed.

Alright, Ill believe you. Huaijun nodded. Though, if we look at the two of you from an occupational perspective- you guys would make quite an item, honestly. That girl always charges to the front, always throwing herself into the most dangerous of situations whenever possible

Haha, yeah, I could tell- shes a bit of a tiger, isnt she. Lin Yi laughed. Shes cute, too; maybe you could consider her.

Age gaps too much. She treats me like an elder brother, its not very appropriate for me to be thinking of stuff like that about her, right? Huaijun said with a laugh. And its not like you dont know- Im not the one who gets to decide who I marry. My family has their own agenda and stuff, always thinking about the bigger picture Im guessing theyll arrange a partner for me the year after the next.

Well, lets go then. Ill get you the medicine. Lin Yi said, standing up and making his way to the door.

Wang Zhifeng had been waiting at the hallway quietly, walking to Lin Yi with quick steps upon seeing the door open. Well, Captain Yang? Is everything good?

Everythings fine, Lin Yi was just acting in self defense. Hell have to come to the station tomorrow for a written statement, and well be done. Huaijun nodded. Im headed to Lin Yis classroom with him for some materials, you dont have to worry about anything at all, Mr. Wang.

Oh I see, thats good news. Zhifeng said as he relaxed a little.
