Does Lin Zimao miss Lin You?
He missed him very much, very much.
He had lived with Lin You for eleven years and was rarely separated from him, this time they were separated for more than a year, which was unbelievable.
And he himself doesn’t even know how this one year has passed.
First, he learned that Lin You had left their planet, and then his mother passed away, so he returned to planet Alpha to take care of her affairs.
The elders in the family all said that Lin You might not be able to come back this time, Lin Zimao cried for several days, later he thought about it, how could Lin You disappear without rhyme or reason1無緣無故 (wú yuán wú gù): no cause, no reason (idiom); completely uncalled for; without rhyme or reason; without cause or reason; for no reason at all; From Dream of the Red Chamber chapter 44: “好好兒的，從那裏説起！無緣無故白受了一場氣！”, “Ok, let’s start there! For no reason at all, I got angry for nothing!”, he promised that he would come back, in his heart, he was still the strong father, he didn’t believe that Lin You would disappear, and then he learned that his biological father sent someone to look for him, so he and his friends made a complete plan.
Having heard so many stories about Lin You, as well as his own personal experiences, Lin Zimao didn’t understand why Lin You retreated and lived in seclusion on an unknown small planet, where no one knew about his past, or what he had done for the Alliance.
It just so happened that his biological father was looking for him, so he push the boat with the current, and came to planet Feige.
Find a suitable time to disrupt the Alliance government.
Of course, this is the work of their team, without the support of Wang Yunuo, Miao Miao and several people, how could he possibly use his skills on planet Feige, before Lin Zimao came to planet Feige, they had already been practicing outside for a long time.
They left planet ‘Youlin’ to search for Lin You, after Lin Zimao learned that Lin You was missing, he and Wang Yunuo and others drove away in a small starship, in short, they searched for traces of Lin You on many planets but found nothing, and finally came to planet Feige.
It turns out that the most unlikely place are the most likely place.
They didn’t figure it out at the beginning, but luckily they figured it out later, only half a year late.
Lin Zimao still remembers the meal he and Lin You had the night before they separated, they ate bbq, Lin You grilled his best grilled chicken wings2烤雞翅 (kǎo jī chì): Grilled chicken wings. 
for Lin Zimao, the others were grilled to pieces, or half-cooked3半生不熟 (bàn shēng bù shóu): half-cooked; underdone; underripe; not mastered; not skilled (of a technique); not well-acquainted., Lin Zimao could only bite the bullet and eat them every time.
That night, for some reason, Lin Zimao didn’t eat his Lin Zimao didn’t eat his grilled beef skewers4烤的牛肉串 (kǎo de niú ròu chuàn): Grilled beef skewer. 
for the first time, and he regretted it later.
Because he thought he might never see Lin You again.
And now, listening to this familiar voice, Lin Zimao almost burst into tears.
The invisible door seemed to be opening for half a century, obviously, it’s only takes a second or two, but he felt that it was very slow and very annoying.
A handsome man who looked about thirty years old stroked his shoulder-length black hair, he finally appeared in front of Lin Zimao before his tears were about to fall, he was wearing a gray casual suit today.
He is Lin You, the of the Alliance’s turmoil, a legendary figure who once made people sigh and lament.
He opened his arms to Lin Zimao: “Maomao, come here and let me hug you!”
Lin Zimao scolded: “Who wants you to hug!”
Lin You took the initiative to come forward and put his arms around the stubborn big boy: “Okay, don’t be angry, wasn’t I’m here.”
Lin Zimao snorted twice, tears finally flowed out, but he didn’t cry out, he wipe away his tears on Lin You’s gray casual top, he asked Lin You aggrievedly: “Where have you been all this year?”
Lin You: “Go where, just want to take a trip first, wasn’t this leaving for a while so that you can have a good experience, who thought you guys would make such a big fuss.”
“Isn’t it because you walked away without saying anything5不哼不聲 (bù hēng bù shēng): T/N: The closest phrase I found is 不哼不哈 (bù hēng bù hā), lit. No hum, no ha; means to be silent and not to say what should be said., I thought, thought you…” Don’t want me, this son, anymore!
Lin Zimao was brought up by Lin You, how could he not understand what he meant, so he gently patted him on the back and said: “How could it be, you are my baby.”
Lin Zimao: “When did you become so sappy?”
Lin You: “I always talk like this.”
Lin Zimao: “No, you’ve changed.”
Lin You: “No change, still your father.”
Lin Zimao: “Oh, the father who left his son and ran out to play by himself.”
Lin You laughed softly: “This is not going to be over, is it?”
Lin Zimao said: “I will never get over it for the rest of my life, I’ll remember it for you.”
Lin You said fondly: “Yes, remembering is also fine.”
When the father and son hugged each other, everyone stood beside them, for a moment, they didn’t know whether to be moved or whether to cry or laugh6哭笑不得 (kū xiào bù dé): lit. to not know whether to laugh or to cry (idiom); both funny and extremely embarrassing; between laughter and tears; to feel confounded, mildly dumbfounded, or slightly flabbergasted in a polite sense, usually toward a familiar person in an awkward situation; be unable either to cry or to laugh—find sth both funny and annoying..
In fact, the two of them were just having a normal conversation between father and son.
It wasn’t until Lin Zimao had finished rubbing his tears and snot on the legendary figure Lin You and raised his head that Qi Jinghe stood up.
Lin You said: “Everyone is hungry, right, let’s all sit down first.”
Miao Miao and a few others opened their mouths to call for the General, when it was Jiang Xuan’s turn, Lin You called him over.
“Jiang Xuan, come and sit next to me, thank you for taking care of Maomao all this time, just follow Zimao and call me daddy7爹地 (diē dì): (Cantonese, Malaysia Mandarin, informal, loanword) daddy; father..”
Jiang Xuan is not Lin Zimao, he still can not call out this intimate title, after all, in his cognition, Lin You was a big shot, and now this big shot was sitting next to him.
Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment and said: “Is it okay if I call you General?”
Lin You smiled and said: “It’s fine, Zimao is quite thick-skinned.”
Lin Zimao touched his slightly red face, when he come to his senses, he realized that he had been crying very embarrassingly: “Not thick, aren’t I’m your son? Is it wrong to call daddy?”
Lin You pinched his tender face: “Correct.”
Jiang Xian looked at Lin You’s side profile, his skin was a bit white, after taking a closer look, he found that Lin Zimao and he were indeed very similar, it is not too much to say that they are father and son.
His great-grandfather was probably only a few years older than Lin You, they were of the same generation, but Lin You looked very young, without any signs of fatigue like the elderly, he wonder if it’s because of staying in space for a long time, the person will also not growing old, the appearance is fixed at the age of thirty, his uncle looks older than Lin You.
But nowadays, the world has long stopped judging age by appearance.
Qi Jinghe told them: “Originally, the General wasn’t going to come here, but you guys made such a big mess yesterday, now the Alliance is almost unable to bring it to an end.”
Miao Miao has always been bold, blinking his big peach blossom makeup eyes he painted today: “Is the General going to come out and clean them up himself?”
Lin You looked a little casual, leaned back in his chair and said: “I’ll throw Miao Miao out to test the water first.”
Miao Miao said: “Hey, General, you just said that the adults will solve the problem next, let us children have fun, and I took it seriously.”
Lin Zimao disagreed with the statement that he was a child: “You are a child, I am not.”
Jiang Xuan talked less when there were many people, and since this was Lin You’s home court today, he was still a little reserved.
After all, he’s not too familiar with everyone.
However, a few people spend a long time with Lin You, talking about everything, moreover, Lin You really doesn’t look like a centenarian, he could understand all new words,on the contrary, Qi Jinghe, who was less than half a century old, had a generation gap with these young people.
No wonder these guys are all willing to throw caution to the wind for General Lin You, this is probably the real personal charm.
Qi Jinghe is also sitting with Lin You for the second time in so many years, the first time he was still a young man, his legs were shaking a little when talking to Lin You, at that time, his father had just told the siblings the truth, and the scene was really embarrassing.
Lin You said: “We were supposed to sit together as a family today, but time is too short, let’s get together another time.”
Qi Jinghe: “That’s fine, my sister and the others don’t know you’re here yet.”
Lin You said: “Next time, I will hold a banquet later and invite everyone I can.”
Lin Zimao was stunned: “Banquet? What kind of banquet?”
There was no reason for them to hold a banquet on planet Feige.
Lin You rubbed his head: “Now that I’ve returned to planet Feige, I have to show something, moreover, after this incident, we will no longer be space pirates, and our planet will be changed to planet Youlin.”
Lin Zimao was dumbfounded: “Are you so sure?”
Lin You nodded: “Of course, son, you underestimate your daddy too much.”
Lin Zimao said: “I’m worried about you.”
Lin You smiled affirmatively: “There are no ifs, don’t worry.” There was a reassuring magic in his smile.
With Lin You’s affirmation, Lin Zimao had nothing to fear.
Today’s lunch is not a question of whether it’s enjoyable or not, or whether it’s delicious or not, after meeting Lin You, they would still ate heartily even if it was just dried potatoes without asking.
After lunch, Qi Jinghe took the four little ones to the base camp where Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan had gone last time, while Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan took Lin You back to their residence.
When getting in the car, Jiang Xuan was more nervous than ever before, finally feeling the urgency of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
They sat in an eight-seater flying car, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan sat opposite Lin You, and the adjutant sat in the front row.
Lin Zimao asked him: “Why do you have to go to where I live instead of taking me to where you live?”
Lin You smiled and said: “I’m going to see Jiaoyan.”
Lin Zimao said as a matter of course8理所當然 (lǐ suǒ dāng rán): as it should be by rights (idiom); proper and to be expected as a matter of course; to be only right and proper; to be taken as a matter of course; naturally; needless to say.: “I’ll bring it to you tomorrow, Jiaoyan has lost several pounds now, and is back to its handsome appearance.”
Lin You: “I just want to see how you guys are doing.”
Lin Zimao shrugged: “All right.”
Lin You asked them: “Which one of you cooks at home?”
Lin Zimao said: “Do you think I can do it?”
Lin You: “That would be Xiao Xuan.”
Jiang Xuan said: “I just do it casually, Zimao is not a picky eater.”
Lin You said: “Don’t sell yourself short, he is very picky.”
Lin Zimao: “I’m not picky.”
Lin You: “Am I still don’t know you, next time, we’ll invite Jiang Xuan’s to have dinner alone, and our family will have a good chat.”
Jiang Xuan said: “You set the time, my parents will definitely be there.”
Not long after, they arrived at Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan’s residence.
Lin You played with Jiaoyan for a while.
Then he commented: “It’s quite cozy.”
Lin Zimao asked him: “Where do you live?”
Lin You didn’t tell him, he looked at the time for a while and said it was time for him to go back.
Lin Zimao: “So soon? We just met.”
Lin You comforted him: “No need to worry, we will meet again soon.”
Lin Zimao watched him leave resentfully.
When the car disappeared, Lin Zimao led Jiang Xuan back to the house: “Come on, let’s go back.”
Jiang Xuan is a little unbelievable that Lin Zimao’s sad mood disappears so quickly: “Not sad anymore?”
Lin Zimao: “Let me show you something.”
After they went back to the house, Lin Zimao turned on his display screen, and there was a red dot flashing on it.
Jiang Xuan: “What’s this?”
Lin Zimao smiled slyly: “Tracker, the more he doesn’t tell me, the more I want to know.”
However, the tracker’s light quickly disappeared.
Lin Zimao: “…”
Jiang Xuan said: “Ginger gets spicier as it gets older9薑還是老的辣 (jiāng hái shì lǎo de là): lit. It’s the older ginger that is the spicy one; ginger gets spicier as it gets older (common saying); the older, the wiser; The older the person is, the more seasoned (wiser or more treacherous) they are.?”
Lin Zimao pounced on Jiang Xuan on the sofa and bit him: “Damn it.”
Jiang Xuan: “Why are you biting me?”
Lin Zimao: “I bit you because I like you.”
Jiang Xuan: “That’s ridiculous.” But he wasn’t angry at all, “I have a way to know where the general lives.”
Lin Zimao’s eyes lit up: “You say.”
Jiang Xuan pointed to his lips: “Kiss, don’t bite.”
Lin Zimao went over and kissed him: “Say it quickly.”
Jiang Xuan stopped teasing him and said: “Did you smell it, the general has a special floral fragrance, this kind of flower is only grown in three places on planet Feige.”
Lin Zimao frowned: “Which three?”
Jiang Xuan said: “One is the First Botanical Garden of planet Feige, the second is our school, and the third is a special sanatorium where my grandfather used to live.”
So our Maomao has been spoiled by LY, and now he’s spoiled by JX. 🤭
