"Instructor, let me introduce, this is Qi Weiwei, my really, really good friend."

Lin Hai helped Long Wuhui to his seat and poured him a glass of beer, introducing with a smile.

"A very good friend? That's great. Miss Qi is indeed very beautiful." Long Wuhui smiled kindly, looking at Queen Qi as if appraising his own future daughter-in-law, making Sister Qi's cheeks redden again slightly.

At the same time, she was curious about which military unit Lin Hai came from and why his instructor had ended up disabled.

"And who is this?"

"This is Ouyang Ruoshuang, the cousin of the Miss Ouyang you met last time," Lin Hai replied.

"Cousin?!" The instructor was suddenly stupefied, and his look at Lin Hai clearly conveyed, "Lin Lengzi, you couldn't possibly have succeeded in wooing both cousins, could you?"

This is a dual conquest!

Lin Hai was quite speechless. In his eyes, his old instructor had always been a very straightforward and honest person. Why, after so many years apart, had his comprehension become more and more off?

Lin Hai felt the gazes of the two ladies becoming more complex.

He awkwardly quickly changed the subject, hugging his old instructor's shoulder and saying to Queen Qi and Ruoshuang with a smile, "Back in the day, our instructor in the military was known as the King of Soldiers, unbeaten across all the Military Districts in the north."

Queen Qi and Ruoshuang looked surprised and skeptical at Long Wuhui, whose leg had started to atrophy and was limping, with a body seemingly carved and chiseled by the harsh winds and frosts of time. Despite still appearing robust, he also looked somewhat frail.

No one would associate this appearance with the King of Soldiers at first glance.

The astonished looks from the two ladies made Long Wuhui feel awkward. He touched his disabled leg as if all the glory of his past years were contained within that leg. Unfortunately, those days of glory were no more.

Sensing the instructor's change in mood, Lin Hai quickly took the initiative to speak:

"Instructor was like a brother and a father to me in those days. It's my fault for not mastering his skills properly."

A glint of reminiscence flashed in the instructor's eyes, and he showed a warm smile, patting Lin Hai's shoulder and saying, "Silly boy, you are my pride."

"Now that I'm old, I've smoothed out the competitive spirit I used to have. I just hope to approach things with equanimity."

"Lin Lengzi, make sure you don't follow in my footsteps. All I want for you now is to live a steady life and one day have a big, healthy baby."

Lin Hai was deeply moved in his heart. His instructor's leg had been injured while saving his life all those years ago.

"Sure, by that time, whether you want to be the godfather or the god-grandfather, it's up to you."

Hearing this, Queen Qi and Ruoshuang were once again surprised. This truly showed how much Lin Hai considered his instructor both a brother and a father.

"Well, I'd better work hard selling grilled skewers, so I can earn more money to buy a house and a car for my future godson and to get him a wife," said the instructor with a smile.

"Come on, let's toast this glass."

"Cheers!"

The young and the old raised their glasses and drained them in one go.

With a hearty gesture to wipe the beer from the corners of their mouths, Long Wuhui let out a happy laugh.

"By the way, instructor, weren't you in Zhonghai? How come you suddenly showed up in Huadu?" Lin Hai asked with concern.

Long Wuhui gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said: "Business in Zhonghai is tough, so I came to Huadu. I was afraid of disturbing you while you were busy at work, so I didn't let you know."

"Instructor, I'm not happy to hear that. Are you treating me, Lin Lengzi, as an outsider?"

"What do you mean by 'disturbing my work'? Even if I quit my job, I would come to see you right away."

The instructor downed a whole bottle of "Erguotou" liquor, his eyes slightly moist, and murmured to himself: "Good, good, it is all worth it to hear you say that. Nothing else matters."

Queen Qi felt the emotion between Lin Hai and the old instructor, and she was also slightly moved in her heart.

What does a man's appearance and dress matter? Just having such profound friendship is enough to prove he's a good man.

"Old Limp Man, we've been waiting for our mutton skewers for half an hour," a young couple from the next table urged.

"Coming right up, sorry. I got a bit excited seeing an old brother of mine."

Long Wuhui gave Lin Hai an apologetic smile and said: "Let's have a proper drink later, and don't stop until we're completely drunk. I can easily handle ten bottles of Erguotou in one go now."

After that, he dragged his handicapped leg and limped towards the barbecue grill, his back emanating a sudden sense of solitude.

Queen Qi felt a stir in her heart again, the feeling she got when the old instructor turned around reminded her of her father, who had gone on a mission and never returned.

"I'll go help!"

Queen Qi stood up, ran over with a spring in her step, extended her delicate hand, disregarding the old instructor's grease-stained, faded clothes, and supported him.

The old instructor looked slightly startled.

Queen Qi smiled and said: "Instructor Uncle, I'm Lin Hai's girlfriend. Let me do the grilling, and you just go enjoy your drinks with Lin Hai."

Lin Hai was taken aback for a moment, then a wave of touched emotion flashed in his eyes.

Ruoshuang rolled her eyes and whispered in her brother-in-law's ear: "Hmph, brother-in-law, when did Sister Qi become your girlfriend?"

"Uh, that was probably a slip of the tongue, you know what I mean."

"Well, you dare to indulge but not admit it. Is Sister Qi's work good?"

"Oh come on, we have a purely innocent relationship!"

"Hehe, but I bet when you and Sister Qi do 'that', given her Queen-like personality, it would be 'sky above, earth below', with her on top and you underneath."

Lin Hai rolled his eyes heavily.

"I won't talk to you anymore; I'm going to help Uncle Instructor too."

Ruoshuang also walked over intelligently, and together with Queen Qi, they helped the old instructor back to sit down. The two ladies, as graceful as immortals, started working at the bustling barbecue stand.

Watching the busy silhouettes of the two girls, hearing the occasional cough from the smoke, the old instructor felt a pang of guilt but was also deeply touched and sentimental: "Lin Lengzi, you have two great girlfriends. You must cherish them. If I find out that you dare to fool around, abandoning them after playing with them, I'll definitely break your damned legs."

"Damn, Instructor, when did you switch to their side so skillfully?"

Long Wuhui snorted discontentedly: "What do you mean by switching sides? Don't make me beat you up now. Just because my leg is gone doesn't mean my kung fu has worsened. These years I have stepped into the rank of a Super First-class Expert, you know what that is?"

"Uh, Instructor, you're amazing, you're formidable. But I recall that after you trained me for five months, you were no longer a match for me. After ten months, I could take you down with just one hand."

Long Wuhui was stunned for a moment, his face flushing red, he looked around, relieved that the two nice girls hadn't heard his "embarrassing past," he then leaned in and whispered to Lin Hai: "You little brat, always digging up my past. Well, let's not talk about that; today let's each have ten bottles of Erguotou, hmm."
