“Then I won’t ask anymore. But Yun Xi, I have a favor to ask of you.

Yun Xi looked at the Old Master’s serious expression and instantly became serious.

“Old Master, please tell me.”

“It’s really not easy for my Zhou Lin to be able to meet such a good girl like you. In the future, he’ll be handed over to you.”

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. “Zhou Lin, this child, just doesn’t say it, but his heart is bitter.”

They had been together for almost two years, but Zhou Lin seemed to have never told Yun Xi about his past. Yun Xi had always relied on his pampering and protection, and had actually neglected to understand his past.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi could not help but feel guilty toward Zhou Lin. If the Old Master had not mentioned it, she would not have realized this.

“Old Master, can you tell me more about it?” Yun Xi said expectantly.

“Zhou Lin was sent to the army by me when he was very young. Although he also loves the military life, I’m the only one who knows how hard life in the army is.”

Yun Xi listened carefully, afraid that she would miss a word.

“I’ve been strict with him since he was young. His mother passed away early, and his brother was busy with his business. The family was so busy that we didn’t have time to take care of him. He came to the army alone and had no place to vent his suffering and grievances. He had to take on everything on his own.”

“That’s why he developed such a personality from then on. There are many things that he won’t ask others about. He has shouldered too much on his own.”

Hearing this, Yun Xi could not control her tears. No matter how she wiped them away, it did not help. Other than the guilt she felt for Zhou Lin’s negligence, she also felt heartache for him.

“That’s why, Yun Xi, I hope that you can help Zhou Lin share his burden in the future. Don’t let him be so tired and suffer. There’s no one else in this family who can help him other than you. You can just take it as my selfishness!”

As he spoke, the Old Master also shed tears. He looked at Yun Xi and continued, “Just take it as I’m begging you!”

Yun Xi looked at the Old Master. “Don’t say that. It’s what I should do. I was so busy with my own things in the past that I completely neglected him. In the end, it’s my negligence. I have to thank you for telling me this!”

“If you say so, I’m relieved.”

“Old Master, don’t worry. I promise you that I will take good care of him in the future.”

After saying that, Yun Xi consoled the Old Master and went upstairs. Seeing that the he had fallen asleep, Yun Xi left the old residence with a peace of mind. Before she left, she did not forget to remind the maid to take good care of the Old Master.

As she walked out of the Zhou residence’s gate, the cold wind that blew on her unconsciously made Yun Xi’s more clear-headed. With tears in the corners of her eyes, Yun Xi still unconsciously thought of Zhou Lin.

“This fool, why didn’t you let me know anything? you only know how to fight on your own. You’re a big fool, a big fool.”

On one hand, she was blaming Zhou Lin for not telling her anything, on the other hand, she was also blaming herself for being so focused on other things that she had neglected Zhou Lin.

After walking for a while, Yun Xi returned home. At this time, everyone in the family had already fallen asleep. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chen Li walked out of the room. At this time, the lights in the room were not switched on, so Chen Li could not see her daughter’s tear-stained face clearly.

“Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?” Chen Li asked with concern.

“It’s nothing, mom. It’s just work. There were too many things to deal with, so I came back late.”

“Have you eaten? I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles.” As she spoke, Chenli went to turn on the lights.

“Mom, there’s no need to trouble yourself. You don’t have to turn on the lights either. My colleagues and I have already eaten. I’m too tired. I want to sleep first. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. You should go to bed early too.” Yun Xi did not want her mother to worry, so she went back to her room.

Chen Li did not think too much about it and quickly went back to her room to sleep. After all, she still had to wake up early for work tomorrow.

Back in the room, Yun Xi quickly picked up the phone and called Zhou Lin.

On the other side, Zhou Lin had already fallen asleep. He did not expect Yun Xi to call him in the middle of the night.

The call connected and Zhou Lin’s familiar and gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.

“What’s the matter, Xixi? Why are you calling me so late at night?”

Hearing Zhou Lin’s voice, Yun Xi could not help but shed tears again. However, she still pretended that everything was normal and held back her tears. “It’s nothing. I just miss you, so I called you,”

“Silly girl, go to sleep. I’ll be back in half a month.”

“Then train well. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

“Xixi, I love you!!!”
