There weren’t many people in the medical area. The highly efficient and fast technology meant many didn’t need to come here, and those who did need to… often couldn’t make it.
In the quiet corridor, Lin Yu leaned against the wall. Taking advantage of this brief lull, he could finally calm his mind and think things through.
They say plans never keep up with changes.
The current situation was comparable to a “gathering of heroes.” He had originally thought this was just a very ordinary trip.
First, Mu Liuli showed up. Fine, her coming was no big deal. But who could have imagined something like a King Beast would appear, and because of that, he’d ended up provoking Xin Yao.
Now, even Qin Wuyue and Xia Yanran had arrived. Who else was coming?
He was almost getting PTSD from it. He wouldn’t be surprised by whoever showed up next.
Maybe… find an excuse to go back? But wouldn’t that be too deliberate?
And he didn’t know what his sister was thinking either.
In a situation like this, his sister should probably go help too.
As he was thinking these random thoughts, the door to the ward suddenly opened.
He turned to look. “Sis…”
Just as he was about to ask whether they were heading back to the resort or what, Lin Mowei looked at him, suddenly raised her hand, and gently touched his cheek with her fingertips… then gave it a hard pinch!
“Ouch! Sis, what are you doing?”
Lin Yu was a bit confused. What was this about now?
Who would have thought that the next second, his sister would hug him tightly, her soft, delicate body enveloping him completely. One hand pressed against the back of his head, shoving him firmly into her embrace. Her sweet scent instantly filled all his senses.
“Mmm… Sis, wh-what’s wrong?” he managed to ask with difficulty. Then, a voice full of lingering fear sounded in his ear.
“You bad little Yu! Who told you to come save me? You scared me to death, you know that!”
Lin Yu’s hands, which had been stiffly at his sides, slowly relaxed. Ah… so it was because of that.
He raised his arms and gently patted his sister’s back, trying to soothe her worried feelings.
“Alright, sis, I’m fine, aren’t I? And what do you mean, ‘who told me to save you’? In that situation, was I supposed to just wait there?”
Lin Mowei had been genuinely terrified. She wasn’t clear that her brother was a Resonator, but even if she had known, she still wouldn’t have been able to avoid worrying.
She had been thinking about going to find Mu Qingqing later to ask about something, and that led her to recall the earlier situation. Only then did she remember how dangerous it had been, and a wave of post-fear emotion surged up.
After coming out and seeing her brother, she could no longer hold back her feelings. It seemed only by feeling her brother’s body temperature, sensing his presence, could she dispel that worry.
“Anyway, you can’t make me worry like this anymore, understand? Promise your sister. Promise me right now.” Lin Mowei loosened her hold a little, lowering her head slightly to look seriously into his eyes.
Lin Yu smiled. “Okay, okay, okay. I promise, sis. I won’t make you worry in the future, alright?”
As he spoke, he patted her arm. “Sis, can you let go of me first? If someone sees, they might misunderstand.”
“What misunderstanding? What’s wrong with a sister hugging her brother? Little Yu, do you dislike your sister now?”
Saying this, she pouted her lips, pretending to look pitiful.
Opportunities for such legitimate intimate contact with her brother were rare. She just wanted to hold on a little longer.
Lin Yu shook his head, revealing a somewhat helpless smile.
His sister was perfect in every way, except sometimes she acted like a child who needed哄哄.
“I don’t dislike you, I don’t dislike you. How could I ever dislike my sister? But we are outside, after all. How about we wait until we get back before hugging again?”
Hearing this, Lin Mowei was wide awake. Her eyes instantly lit up. “You said that, little Yu. You can’t go back on your word.”
Then she very readily let go of Lin Yu. A single full meal versus meals every day? She decisively chose the latter.
Lin Yu, however, was stunned. Wait, sis, can’t you tell I was joking? How did you take it seriously? Why aren’t you following the usual script?
“No, I was…”
He still wanted to say something, but Lin Mowei didn’t give him the chance.
She reached out and tapped his forehead with her finger. “It’s settled then. Your sister has some things to take care of now. Little Yu, you go back to the resort later with the teachers. I’ll be back soon.”
“Huh? Huh??” Lin Yu watched as his sister decisively turned around, leaving him only with a潇洒的背影. For a moment, he had the feeling of digging a pit and then falling into it himself.
Was this right?
…
Lin Mowei didn’t care whether it was right or not. The words were already said. Even if her brother tried to go back on it later, she could use that as a chance to extort something else from him.
Passively waiting was always the stupidest choice. Taking the initiative was the only way to get what you wanted.
This was a life lesson she had grasped after experiencing some rather painful events.
But for now, she wanted to have a good chat with her former subordinate about the matter of ‘front foot and back foot.’
At this time, they were usually holding post-operation review meetings and planning the next operation.
Familiar with the route, she arrived at the conference room door. She currently held no position and had no authority to enter.
However, her status was still there. The guards at the door saw her arrive, respectfully saluted, then showed troubled expressions.
“Section Chief Lin… they’re inside…”
Lin Mowei didn’t make things difficult for them. She waved her hand. “I know. I’m just here to ask Qingqing about something. I won’t go in. I’ll wait for her to come out.”
The guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically, “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a bit. The meeting just started not long ago. Or perhaps you could wait in the office next door?”
“Hmm…” Lin Mowei thought for a moment. “Alright then. Please ask her to come see me when the meeting is over.”
“Understood.”
Roughly an hour and a half later, the office door was pushed open. Passing staff saw Lin Mowei inside. Xin Yao saw her too but just nodded before leaving.
Everyone was very busy. She also had something she needed to go find Lin Yu about. Lin Mowei not being there was a perfect opportunity.
After Mu Qingqing entered, she closed the door and smiled at her former superior. “Section Chief, what brings you here? Did you need something from me?”
When she heard Lin Mowei was looking for her earlier, her heart had skipped a beat, thinking the other woman might be here to hold her accountable.
After all, she had essentially捡来的 this position and hadn’t even informed the former section chief. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t great.
Lin Mowei’s face was expressionless, her gaze calm, just staring straight at her.
It made Mu Qingqing feel a bit uneasy. She sat down, leaving a person’s width of space between them.
“Section Chief, why are you looking at me like that? I admit, I really did forget to talk to you about this matter. But this wasn’t something I could decide either. It was a sudden notification from above. I couldn’t do anything about it…”
Her tone was three parts timid, three parts委屈, and three parts helpless.
“Qingqing.”
“Yes? Go ahead.” Mu Qingqing swallowed.
“I didn’t come to talk about that.”
She blinked. Not about that? Then what was it about?
Other aspects… I don’t think I’ve offended the section chief in any other way, have I?
For some reason, she felt her heartbeat speeding up, like the feeling of being caught red-handed doing something bad.
It was utterly莫名其妙.
Lin Mowei slowly stood up, came to stand in front of her, and looked down at her.
One hand pressed on her shoulder, the other gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead back behind her ear. The动作 was soft and intimate.
But this simple action instantly made Mu Qingqing’s whole body tense up. Her eyes went wide, her cheeks grew hot, and her heart beat even faster.
Th-this… what is the section chief doing! I-I-I, I don’t have that kind of preference!
She looked at the curve of Lin Mowei’s lips, the playful scrutiny in her gaze, and pressed her own lips together tightly.
But… the section chief is so beautiful… if it’s like this… maybe it wouldn’t be so bad…
Everyone in the Extermination Section, regardless of gender, held immense admiration for Lin Mowei.
Who could refuse a strong, beautiful, and酷飒的娇艳御姐?
Mu Qingqing slowly closed her eyes, her hands gripping her knees tightly, her legs unconsciously rubbing together.
Ah… the underwear I’m wearing today isn’t really suitable… I hope I don’t embarrass myself in front of the section chief…
By now, her mind was completely occupied by certain peach-colored fantasies.
At that moment, Lin Mowei’s rosy lips slowly approached her ear. The gentle exhale of warm breath made her earlobes turn bright red.
But the gentle words that sounded next in her ear immediately made her eyes fly open wide. Her whole body felt as if it had plunged into an icy abyss.
“Qingqing, what does ‘first you latch onto Qin Wuyue, then immediately you hook up with Mu Liuli’ mean? Translate that for me. I don’t understand.”
