The next day.
Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan got up early in the morning.
After Jiang Xuan put forward the three locations last night, they conducted a comprehensive examination of the three places on the Internet and came to a final conclusion.
According to the current environmental protection law, the botanical garden covers a large area, it is impossible for people to live in it, moreover, that kind of flower is only planted in the center of the botanical garden, there is no area for people to live in, so it is directly ruled out.
Feige University is right next to them, there was no need for Lin You to make a special trip to their place to see them, he could always come over and take a look at Lin Zimao whenever he wanted to care for him.
The only thing left was the special sanatorium, which was some distance away from where they lived, moreover, patients in the sanatorium usually generally cannot go out at any time, because they had to follow the doctor’s orders and undergo treatment.
Lin Zimao sat in the car, biting his fingers, didn’t know how to describe his current mood.
Lin Zimao said: “I should ask Wang Yunuo to investigate the doctor’s patient information first.”
Jiang Xuan pinched the back of his neck twice: “Concern leads to chaos, the general certainly won’t use his real name, and the management of this sanatorium is very strict, they never take photographs of patients, they cannot use face recognition, it is difficult to distinguish patients based on information alone.”
Lin Zimao said: “We should be able to find a general direction through blood type genes and so on.”
Jiang Xuan took off the finger he was biting: “Stop biting it, if you bite it again, it will bleed, we can now go over to find the person now.”
Lin Zimao: “How to find?” He was indeed confused by concern, and his mind was not moving very much.
After learning that Lin You was most likely in a sanatorium, he was very upset and deeply realized that Lin You was really no longer young.
He knew that Lin You had been fighting for many years, his body has been consumed for so many years, and although he doesn’t have much pain, his body muscles will age, and he will also grow old like a normal old man.
Lin You looks young in appearance, and his personality seems to be no different from that of contemporary young people, but he may leave him one day.
Just thinking about this possibility made Lin Zimao’s whole body felt terribly uncomfortable, his fingertips felt incredibly cold, and his whole body stiffened up.
Jiang Xuan knew what he was thinking, and tried to comfort him: “Old age, sickness and death1生老病死 (shēng lǎo bìng sǐ): lit. to be born, to grow old, to get sick and to die; fig. the fate of humankind; (Buddhism) to be born, to get old, to become ill and to die; fate of humankind; mortality. are inevitable2在所難免 (zài suǒ nán miǎn): to be unavoidable (idiom); can hardly be avoided; be inevitable., after all, the general is about the same age as my great-grandfather.”
Lin Zimao: “I don’t know why, but when I looked at your great-grandfather, I didn’t seem to have any resistance to the matter of people getting old, and now I’m very resistant to this thing happening to someone I respect.”
Jiang Xuan made a substitution, if Lin Zimao grows old, and is about to leave him, he will also feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Xuan said: “I can understand you, after all, he is your other father.”
Lin Zimao: “Um, he’s my real father.”
Jiang Xuan gently pushed his head to his shoulder, letting Lin Zimao lean against him: “Um, I know.”
Regardless of whether it was more comfortable or not, he was willing to let Lin Zimao lean on his shoulder when he was vulnerable.
Lin Zimao asked Jiang Xuan: “How do we get into the sanatorium?”
Jiang Xuan: “I have a way, when my grandfather was hospitalized, he gave me a visiting pass, which should be able to be used.”
Lin Zimao suddenly became energetic: “As long as we find the location where the flowers are planted, it will be almost clear.”
Jiang Xuan said: “Either stay there for two days, or use the most crude method, asking people one by one.”
When Lin Zimao heard that his words were not sincere at all, he knew something is not right: “Brother, are you teasing me?”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Jiang Xuan’s mouth: “Yes, I’m teasing you, don’t be upset, the general only said to deal with the matter before coming to us.”
It’s hard for Jiang Xuan, a person who doesn’t like to joke, to know how to coax him, Lin Zimao was in a much better mood.
It happened that the communicator assistant pushed a message, Lin Zimao clicked on it.
The Alliance had released a piece of breaking news related to Lin You.
“The Alliance is finally facing up to Lin You.” Lin Zimao said as he opened it.
“How?” Jiang Xuan was already in autopilot mode, he and Lin Zimao leaned against each other to read the content.
【After verification by the Alliance, there is indeed a scene of corruption within the Alliance, at present, the suspects who have traded with the space pirates have been brought under control, the principal offender is still under investigation, and the truth will be revealed3水落石出 (shuǐ luò shí chū): as the water recedes, the rocks appear (idiom); (figurative) truth being revealed; the truth comes to light; stones will appear as the water ebbs/recedes―the whole thing comes to be obvious. in the future. In addition, the Alliance solemnly apologizes to General Lin You, and from now on, it will restore all the honors of General Lin You, starting from 10 o’clock today, General Lin You’s personal official website will be established to announce all events related to General Lin You, all textbooks this year will add General Lin You’s past achievement, and a supervision team for the restoration of General Lin You’s reputation will be established, at the same time, we would like to apologize to all the soldiers whose names have not been cleared, and restore the honor of all soldiers. We hope that the general public will actively supervise!】
Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan looked at each other after reading it and said: “Did the Alliance directly restore Lin You’s identity?”
Jiang Xuan said: “Um, it shouldn’t go back on its words4出爾反爾 (chū ěr fǎn ěr):lit. what comes from you, goes back to you; to break a promise; to go back on one’s word; to blow hot and cold; contradict oneself in word and deed; promise and then deny in succession; From Mencius (《孟子·梁惠王下》): 曾子曰:『戒之戒之!出乎爾者,反乎爾者也。』夫民今而後得反之也。, The philosopher Zeng said, “Beware, beware. What proceeds from you, will return to you again.” Now at length the people have paid back the conduct of their officers to them. Originally means “you get treated in the same way that you treat others”,now “to contradict oneself”..”
Lin Zimao: “They are trying to cover up a more terrifying fact, if we hadn’t exposed their dark side, I’m afraid these people still wouldn’t recognize Lin You, and they want Lin You to become a sacrificial victim.”
However, they also need to ask Lin Zimao what he means, he does not agree!
Jiang Xuan said: “I guess there are also the general’s people playing a role here. Think about it, uncle and the others have been on planet Feige for so many years, it’s impossible that they don’t have their own people.”
Lin Zimao made a decision immediately: “That makes sense, we’re not going to the sanatorium today, I want to take a good look at it.”
Indeed, as Jiang Xuan said, caring leads to chaos, many details have been forgotten by him.
They turned around and went back to Ning City, and went straight home.
Wang Yunuo four person are currently at the base, haven’t returned, they seemed to be treated with delicious food and drinks, and almost forgot about Lin Zimao’s existence.
After Lin Zimao returned home, he held his chin and paced back and forth in the living room, Jiaoyan’s eyes followed him around, while Jiang Xuan was filming videos, he should find it very interesting in the future, he has never seen Lin Zimao thinking about things like this.
Usually, Lin Zimao would lie lazily on the sofa as soon as he got home, he would not stand when he could sit, and he would not sit when he could lie down.
Meeting General Lin You always makes him energetic, Jiang Xuan was amazed5歎為觀止 (tàn wéi guān zhǐ): Same as 嘆為觀止 (tàn wéi guān zhǐ), (idiom) to gasp in amazement; to acclaim as the peak of perfection; acclaim sth as the acme of perfection., but it also proved that Lin Zimao is a person who values affection and righteousness6重情重義 (zhòng qíng zhòng yì): T/N: It means that regardless of one’s personal feelings or the feelings of their loved ones, they always care about their family affection, treat their friends and colleagues first, and one will not do anything to hurt their relatives or friends; a person who values his family and friends more than anything..
He still remember when his mother mentioned marriage to him, other that resisting, he still resists, now that he know how eager she was at that time, everything is excusable.
If he had really refused and fought his mom by running away from home, maybe Lin Zimao wouldn’t be with him today, and he wouldn’t have had the chance to get to know him, but luckily, he didn’t miss it.
No matter what the original intention was, he is now extremely grateful that his mother did not give up and persisted to the end.
He remembers his mother describing Lin Zimao at the time: “That child is very good, has a good appearance, and a good personality, you also don’t have to worry about his parents, as long as you treat him well, he is one year younger than you, so you two get along first, if it’s really inappropriate, your mother will definitely not force you. Son, mother will not harm you, I believe you will like him after getting along with him.”
At that time, he thought, how could his mother know the character of Lin Zimao, who had not been back to planet Feige for more than ten years, now he knows that everything stems from the relationship between the Lin family and the Qi family, and also because of Lin You.
In his mother’s eyes, he is a legend, so how could the children he taught be bad?
Thinking about the time half a year ago when he foolishly thought about running away, he just want to laugh.
Jiang Xuan rested his chin, and smiled unconsciously.
Later, he also thought, anyway, he didn’t fancy him, sooner or later they will be separated, just treat it as if there is an extra guest in the house.
The idea was both naive and foolish.
He doesn’t have any regrets now, it would be best if he could continues like this!
How many surprises does Lin Zimao have yet to reveal?
Lin You had only revealed the tip of the iceberg and was amazing, so how many surprises does Lin Zimao, who grew up next to Lin You, have?
Lin You was a very distant figure to him, but Lin Zimao was his pillow, and he is so looking forward to it.
Suddenly, Lin Zimao lightly jumped over the sofa, jumped to sit next to Jiaoyan, startling Jiaoyan when he bounced up, and then held him in his arms and petted him.
Lin Zimao said: “Senior, I’ve thought of it!”
When he is happy, he will call him Senior Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan asked him: “What do you think of?”
Lin Zimao’s expression collapsed again: “I thought about why Lin You left.”
Jiang Xuan: “What does he want to do?”
Lin Zimao: “He wants to restore his reputation.”
Jiang Xuan: “But he didn’t do anything before.”
Lin Zimao shook his head: “He did it, the Qi family has always been his personal eyes on planet Feige. Last year, he left planet Youlin and started his return plan, all of us followed his plan step by step, including me, he took into account everyone’s thoughts, and I was the person he knew best, he knew what I would do. He told me so much in order to restore his reputation one day.”
Jiang Xuan immediately figured out the reason for this: “Then why did he make it so complicated?”
Lin Zimao: “Because this way people won’t be suspicious, he borrowed my hand to do it, while he let people operate behind the scenes, you see, he achieved his wish.” After finishing speaking, he felt a little lonely, “So, am I just a pawn in his hand?”
Jiang Xuan: “That shouldn’t be the case.”
Lin Zimao: “He must be living in a sanatorium, and his body is dying, a person’s whole life is spent fighting, and it was not just for one breath7一口氣 (yī kǒu qì): one breath; in one breath; without a break; at one go; at a stretch., he wants to restore his reputation before he leaves, isn’t it normal?”
Jiang Xuan felt that Lin Zimao’s idea was reasonable, but he couldn’t tell what was strange: “Your analysis seems to be correct, but I think General Lin You’s character should not be like this, you may have misunderstood him.”
Although he had only met Lin You once yesterday, but Jiang Xuan felt that he was not someone who would squander the people around him for petty gains8蠅頭小利 (yíng tóu xiǎo lì): fly’s head of profit—pittance of profit; petty profit; metaphor for a very small profit..
Lin Zimao’s hold on Jiaoyan tightened, Jiaoyan meowed, trying hard to wriggle out of Lin Zimao’s arms.
As Lin Zimao was getting angry, Lin You sent him a video invitation, which Lin Zimao answered in seconds.
There was a hint of exhaustion on Lin You’s handsome face, but he immediately restrained himself and said with a smile: “Good baby boy, do you miss daddy?”
Lin Zimao was now acting like a rebellious child: “I’m not!”
Lin You said: “Stubborn mouth, let me tell you something, after you start school, I will hold a banquet, now prepare the banquet attire.”
“Ah?” Lin Zimao was confused for a moment, “What kind of banquet?”
Lin You said: “I’ll tell you more after I’m done with things, spend this time playing with Xiao Xuan.”
Then Lin You hung up the video call.
Lin Zimao: “Damn it.” However, he was still obedient and his mood immediately improved, “How about I start designing a new mecha tomorrow.”
Jiang Xuan marveled at Lin You’s influence on his emotions, he was worthy of being a legend.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Zimao went to the school forum to post a post.
【Have you finished designing your mecha?@ChengChen】
Cheng Chen, who is being @, was angrily selecting design drafts, each one of which he wasn’t very satisfied with!
Every mecha design draft in front of him has a designer’s code name underneath it.
He asked a man standing nearby waiting: “Is that all?”
The man said: “The one who won the award last time asked for a higher price, and was also slower to produce the design.”
Cheng Chen pondered for a long time, “Forget it, Lin Zimao didn’t learn mecha design systematically, I can beat him even if I choose one at random, competing with me, he’s still inexperienced.”
Get ready of a face slapping.
