Let's see what kind of world he created

At eight o'clock the next day, everyone gathered at the military headquarters.

Different from the last secret mission, this time they had a legitimate reason to protect Yuan Xilin, and they followed a clear path, so they didn't need to cover up, and set off directly from the gate.

The general saw them off in person, provided them with a car and some supplies, and they also made some preparations themselves, which were quite adequate overall.

Ning Chengyou bid farewell to the general first, and after they walked over one by one, it was Yuan Xilin's turn.

After all, he is the person who has been with the general for so many years. Even if he is unwilling to go with so many people in his heart, Yuan Xilin does not show any reluctance on the surface. On the contrary, he is always smiling, and even his eyes are just right It was normal to greet them in the morning, but now I bid farewell to the general face to face, with a hint of reluctance hidden in my reverence, and I have acted like a good junior and a good subordinate.

Ning Chengyou held the hand of Chenchen, who had turned into a child at this time, and was fortunate to be facing his side face, his eyes flicked back and forth between the general and his face, a little suspicious that this person's expression was practiced little by little in front of the mirror, The management couldn't be better. He can fully mobilize every muscle in his face to make an expression that doesn't show any flaws. If he was packed up to act in a play before the virus broke out, within three years, he would definitely win the Best Actor laurels.

But it is a pity that now that the virus has broken out and the whole world is falling, he regretfully missed the opportunity to become a movie star, and instead seems to have embarked on a road of no return.

This is inevitably embarrassing.

Ning Chengyou shook his head.

Holding the child's hand tightly, Ning Chengyou kept paying attention to Chenchen's movements from the corner of his eyes, seeing that the other party no longer reacted as much as the first time when he saw Yuan Xilin, so he put his mind back a little.

While saying goodbye there, Yuan Xilin was just an ordinary person, his hearing was not that good, and the general didn't pay attention to this side, so he bent down and asked the child softly, "Chenchen, are you okay?"

The child nodded: "It's okay."

Ning Chengyou: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time."

The child let out a "hmm", and was picked up again by Ning Chengyou, who said with emotion: "It's more used to this."

Since staying by Ning Chengyou's side, the child has indeed learned a lot of things that he didn't understand before, including some common sense of life and emotional changes. For example, now that he is being hugged again, hearing Ning Chengyou say this, he feels like he understands What the other party was saying, but after thinking about it, he didn't quite understand, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

The corners of Ning Chengyou's lips curled up, and he rubbed his forehead lightly: "It means, I like to hug Chenchen, it's more comfortable for me."

"Where's Chenchen? Do you like being hugged by me?"

The "like" here is different from the "like" asked by the child yesterday. For the first time, he relied on himself to distinguish it, and according to his own understanding, he automatically replaced Ning Chengyou's question with "I feel comfortable in my arms." uncomfortable".

He didn't have a thorough understanding of ordinary people's way of life, he didn't learn to lie and hide, every word he said was from the true feelings in his heart, so he said honestly to Ning Chengyou: "I like it."

Ning Chengyou immediately hugged him even tighter: "Just like it."

Ning Chengyou walks very steadily, his arms are also very strong, his arms are softer and warmer than anything he leans on during his missions in the base, if he is really a child, maybe he will really rely on this arms.

Chenchen, who thought he was already a mature adult, thought silently, now that he has grown up, he doesn’t need to be hugged all the time, a grown-up person should walk by himself and not rely on others, this is what he has learned since he was a child reason.

But...he looks like a child now, so it should be okay to stay in Ning Chengyou's arms like this, right?

The child looked down at his small body, thinking uncertainly.

Noticing his movements, Ning Chengyou asked, "What's wrong?"

If you have any questions, you have to ask—this is what Ning Chengyou has been trying to teach the child all this time. The child listened to it, so he told his questions honestly.

"Of course." Ning Chengyou paused and said to the child, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Chenchen is an adult or a child now, as long as he wants to be hugged, he can come to me. Brother's embrace is always ready for you." You open up."

Children have their own logic: "Adults have to rely on themselves..."

Ning Chengyou: "Yes, that's right, when you grow up, you really have to rely on yourself. But—"

He tapped the tip of the child's nose: "—I didn't say that you can't rely on others at all. What's wrong with adults? Adults will also be tired, sad, and sad. At this time, adults also need comfort, a hug, a little It's not ashamed."

"Besides, I'm a few years older than you. It's normal for you to call me brother and want him to hug you."

"You didn't have this kind of opportunity when you were young, so you have to replenish it when you grow up." Ning Chengyou rubbed the soft hair on the back of the child's head, "No one hugged you before, so now you meet me, I will hug you .”

The child was held in his arms, and his gaze was slightly lower than his. When looking at him, his eyes needed to look up. From Ning Chengyou's perspective, he could see that the person in his arms had a pair of blue eyes, with the end of the eyes slightly raised, clearly It was a slightly childish face, but the expression was inexplicably serious.

"Thank you." The child said to him solemnly.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious, Ning Chengyou froze for a moment, and replied equally solemnly: "You're welcome."

After he finished speaking, he came to his senses and felt that he seemed a little silly like this, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

His sudden smile seemed to have infected the child too. The latter looked at his expression, copied the arc of his mouth in his mind, and tried to lift his own, but couldn't achieve the effect he had. It was smoothed out again in an instant.

The picture flashed by so quickly that Ning Chengyou had no time to capture it. He felt as if he saw the child smiling, but when he looked carefully the next second, he found that the child's expression hadn't changed at all.

Is it an illusion?

Ning Chengyou thought suspiciously.

Before he could ask the child what happened just now, the general finished talking with him and called him over again.

In order to prevent Yuan Xilin from coming into contact with the child, Ning Chengyou put the child down, asked others to accompany him, and walked over by himself: "General Cheng."

General Cheng seemed to be in a good mood, probably because he had a good chat just now, or maybe because he was old and always liked juniors, the way he looked at Ning Chengyou at this moment was exactly the same kindness as he looked at Yuan Xilin.

"Chengyou, when I go out this time, I will hand over Xilin and Cheng Yue to you," General Cheng said to Ning Chengyou, "Please protect them well."

"This is not an order from the chief to his subordinates, but a request from me as an ordinary father and elder to you."

Finally, the general raised his right hand to the end of his eyebrows, and gave a military salute to Ning Chengyou: "Please take care of them while protecting yourself."

Ning Chengyou stood at attention and responded with a military salute: "Okay, I will definitely complete the task."

Saying goodbye, they set off.

Before getting into the car, they assigned it first. Zhang Bei was still in charge of driving. Of course, he couldn’t be the only one.

"Is this okay?" Ning Chengyou asked for other people's opinions.

His team members had no objections, and all agreed. The children were excluded because of their appearance. They only needed to be a cute mascot throughout the whole process, and they didn't care about anything else, so only Yuan Xilin was left.

Everyone's eyes shifted to Yuan Xilin, who paused for a moment, then smiled slightly to meet the general's gaze: "I'm fine."

Ning Chengyou clapped his hands: "Okay, then it's settled, get in the car and go."

Zhang Bei got into the driver's seat, and the rest entered the car one after another. Ning Chengyou was the last to go in. He put the child on it first, and then he went in. He closed the door and saw Yuan Xilin from the corner of his eye. Disappeared without a trace.

Raising his eyebrows, Ning Chengyou sat down in the seat reserved for him by his teammates, and placed the child beside him.

After getting in the car, the moment the door opened and closed, the smile on Yuan Xilin's face disappeared, as if the smiling face drawn with water on the table with a rag was wiped clean in an instant, leaving no trace of it. Neither was left.

Not only was he expressionless, he also didn't speak much. He hadn't made a sound since he agreed to the distribution plan. He sat in the innermost corner by himself, and there was nothing else to do except look out of the window and bow his head from time to time. The movement seems to be thinking about something, and it seems to be just emptying the mind, but in fact there is nothing.

Ning Chengyou guessed that he might be trying to get rid of them and his group, but he had been preparing for such a long time, how could he get rid of them so easily?He is not a fool who can't turn the corners sent by the general before.

The people in the carriage had their own thoughts, and no one made a sound for a while. It was not until Zhang Bei started the car and the sound of the engine came that the silence was broken.

There was a knock on the car window, Ning Chengyou followed the reputation and looked, it was the general who hadn't left yet.

He opened the car window: "What's the matter, General?"

General Cheng pointed to Cheng Yue who was next to him, Ning Chengyou understood, and moved to the other side, letting the father and son say the last few words.

On his left was Cheng Yue, and on his right was a child. With such a move, the child was inevitably squeezed, and Ning Chengyou simply picked him up and put him on his lap.

The child wants to say no: "I can stand."

Ning Chengyou hugged him tightly, and whispered, "But I want to hug you, can I, Chenchen?"

The child was also unskilled in practicing the words of rejecting people. Hearing what he said, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't continue to say the words of rejection: "... yes."

"Chenchen is so kind," Ning Chengyou carried him into his arms, and took out a candy from his pocket, "here, today's reward."

"Thank you."

Children don't need his help to unpack the candy anymore, they can quickly peel off the candy wrapper and eat it, and the breath they exhale is sweet.

Ning Chengyou inhaled intoxicatedly the sweet pheromone: "You're welcome."
