Chapter 3130: Chapter 3122: Experiencing Movie Scenes

In the hotel, after hanging up the call with Anning, Lin Yi stretched lazily.

Now that he was here, he naturally couldn’t return empty-handed.

He had to buy some gifts for the two children to take back.

Lin Yi ordered a braised pig’s knuckle, sweet and sour pork, and a cold dish, planning to eat first.

The food here was still the same as before, large portions and inexpensive, one serving was equal to three in Zhong Hai.

"Young man, can you eat so much by yourself?" the proprietress asked warmly.

"Not a problem, bring me four more bowls of rice."

The proprietress looked Lin Yi over, "You’re not one of those online reviewers, are you? You can film as you like, but don’t waste food."

"Rest assured, big sister, I’m just a passerby with a big appetite."

"Oh, oh..."

The proprietress said no more, then went to the kitchen to arrange the food.

Since it wasn’t a dining rush, there weren’t many people in the shop, and the food came out quickly. In just over ten minutes, all three dishes were on the table.

The proprietress sat nearby, watching Lin Yi intently, apparently curious about how he would finish all three plates.

Lin Yi didn’t bother with all that; once the food was served, he started eating ravenously.

Energy is conserved; Lin Yi could go days without sleeping, and even not eat for several days, but he wasn’t superhuman; he had to replenish with a huge amount of food afterward.

To Lin Yi, these dishes weren’t much at all.

In less than 20 minutes, Lin Yi polished off the three dishes and four bowls of rice.

The proprietress sat there dumbfounded; it was the first time she’d seen someone who could eat that much.

Wiping his mouth, Lin Yi settled the bill and left in a cab.

He went to central street, bought some local souvenirs, and two little snowman toys to bring back for the kids.

Aside from those, Lin Yi also bought a lot of local delicacies.

He would pass through Jing City on the way back; with plenty of time, he planned to see his kids before driving back.

After buying everything, it was already dark. Lin Yi repacked his things, preparing to go to the regional transfer point, then head back.

Coming out of the hotel, Lin Yi suddenly noticed a white Jetta parked at the entrance.

Tens of thousands of dollars, a very ordinary family car, commonly seen on the streets.

But the unusual thing was, sitting in the car was Anning.

Seeing Anning again, she seemed unchanged, just a bit more gentle and graceful.

One person sat in the car, the other stood outside, their eyes met and they both smiled.

She wore a form-fitting sweater, her long hair tied behind her, the charm of a mature woman evident on her.

Anning didn’t move, but took out her phone and dialed Lin Yi’s number.

"You’re leaving already?"

"How did you know I was staying here?"

"You stayed here last time you came. Unfamiliar place, I thought you might choose here again, so I waited for you." Anning said.

"Now that I’ve seen you, there’s no regret."

"Who said there’s no regret?"

"I did." Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Anning’s face showed a gentle smile, as if even the snow outside could melt.

"I won’t see you off; I still have to go home and put the kids to bed."

"Okay."

Lin Yi nodded lightly, watching Anning.

"Remember what I told you that day?"

"I remember." Anning replied:

"Whenever I encounter difficulties, just tell you, no matter where, no matter how far, you’ll appear in front of me first thing."

"This promise is always valid."

"I remember when I left last time, you kissed me on the cheek. Now that I have kids, kissing again would be inappropriate."

Anning looked at Lin Yi tenderly with her phone, "Make a heart gesture with me before you go."

Lin Yi recalled those idol heart gestures and clumsily imitated one.

It felt somewhat awkward and silly.

"So clumsy, like a pig."

Lin Yi chuckled foolishly, like an idiot.

"I’m off, have a safe trip back."

"Okay, it’s cold and the roads are slippery, drive carefully."

"Okay."

They both hung up at almost the same time.

Anning turned and left, and Lin Yi turned as well.

They walked in opposite directions, neither looking back.

Lin Yi took a cab to the Ice City Region’s transfer point.

The shipments bound for Zhong Hai were already loaded, and with the experience from the first time, it went smoothly this time.

After passing through the dispatcher’s office, many recognized Lin Yi.

Twenty-two hours from Zhong Hai to Ice City, this speed would be hard to beat in the future.

After getting the ticket, Lin Yi drove out of the region.

This time he was even faster, reaching Jing City in about 12 hours.

Parking the car at the region’s transfer point, Lin Yi took a cab to Mi Li’s place.

When he got home, it was the nanny who opened the door; Mi Li wasn’t home.

"Oh, the son-in-law is back."

Seeing Lin Yi, the nanny greeted warmly and found him slippers to come in.

"Aunt Chen, where are Mi Li and the kids?"

"Mi Li went to work, the kids are at their grandparents’ place, and she gave me three days off. If you’d come a bit later, I would have left."

"I see, well then I won’t come in. You carry on, Aunt Chen, I’ll be going."

"Have a drink of water before you go."

"No need, it’s fine."

With a quick farewell, Lin Yi left the things he bought and turned to leave.

The child was now over a year old, and Mi Li’s life was back on track.

Even though Mi Li’s ceiling was set, she still needed to quickly return to work and become the backbone of the Liang family.

Arriving at Mi Li’s workplace, everyone instinctively looked at Lin Yi, most of them women.

But many mistook him for a repairman.

At the administration building, Lin Yi flipped through past chat records.

He remembered Mi Li mentioned about returning to work soon, but had forgotten the specifics.

So he reviewed to avoid revealing he didn’t care about her matters during their conversation.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where Director Liang’s office is?"

At the reception window, Lin Yi asked politely.

Inside the window sat a middle-aged woman, wearing glasses, her demeanor like a retired university professor, stern and unsmiling.

Unlike the admin office lady at the Agricultural Research Institute, two entirely different styles, not comparable.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Lin Yi, "Who are you? Do you have an appointment?"

"I’m her..."

Halfway through speaking, Lin Yi looked at his attire, feeling it inappropriate to say "husband", so he added:

"I’m her friend, here to see her for something."

"Please register first, Director Liang is in room 808."

"Alright."
