Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

When going out today, Feng Qingyu seemed to have the same idea as Chen and brought an extra motorcycle helmet, one for each of them.

They put them on and sat in their respective seats.

"Are you sitting tight? I'm about to leave."

"All right."

Feng Qingyu lowered the windshield and hugged Chen's waist. Logically, she should be the driver today, but since Chen insisted on sitting in the driver's seat, she couldn't refuse, because Chen deliberately kept the destination secret and didn't tell her where to go, so it would be troublesome for her to drive by herself.

Chen started the motorcycle, and the two of them sped away in a cloud of dust.

The locomotive maintained a high speed all the time, occasionally making thrilling drifts to avoid other vehicles and "obstacles" on the road. The driving technique was extremely manic and chaotic.

Although she usually didn't follow Longmen's traffic rules when driving, causing Wei Yanwu to sign many tickets, it was still rare to see something like today's.

"Mr. Chen, drive slower. If it was at night or early in the morning, I wouldn't interrupt you. There are a lot of cars now, and some intersections haven't been cleared yet. Some sections of the road may be congested. It's dangerous for you to drive like this."

Chen listened, but didn't fully understand.

"It's no big deal. I have confidence in my driving skills. Although I'm not as good as Xingxiong and slightly inferior to you, at least I can drive normally."

She had no intention of slowing down the car, nor did she intend to listen to Feng Qingyu's advice.

Fortunately, there were fewer and fewer people on the next section of the road, and Feng Qingyu's heart gradually settled down. Looking at the direction Chen was driving, he was planning to go to the outskirts of Longmen.

The outskirts of Longmen and the border of Ursus are very close, with a river as the boundary. A bridge spans the two sides of the river, starting from the Longmen side. There is a boundary stone carved in Ursus on the other side. Crossing the boundary stone is equivalent to reaching the border of Ursus.

One kilometer further ahead is the Ursus border administration bureau. The border guards are all there, and their attitudes are quite bad.

If anyone mistakenly enters, they will be pointed at with guns by a group of burly, cursing Susas guards, and will be beaten if they fail to cooperate.

Therefore, criminals in Longmen always like to gather here and flee after doing bad things.

Chen's destination was the bridge that spanned the border between the two countries. She parked the motorcycle at the bridge head and pulled Feng Qingyu onto the bridge.

The weather was good today, a cloudy day without strong sunshine, and the wind blowing from the river was cool. There were a few boats moored on the shore, and not many boats were sailing.

Chen leaned against the bridge railing, looking melancholy.

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

Feng Qingyu thought for a while and gave the correct answer.

"You and Big Sister parted ways here, right?"

Chen nodded and looked towards the other side.

Over there in the vast Ursus Empire, countless things happen every day. She didn't know what happened to Tallulah over the years, and from her sad and almost desperate eyes, she could guess that Tallulah was not happy these years.

"You're not too stupid."

Feng Qingyu thought that this was a very rude remark. She had never been that stupid, but Sir Chen made her act like she was always a fool.

"Mr. Chen, let's be serious. Are you here to reminisce about the past, or to enjoy the future?"

She wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but Chen wasn't buying it at all.

"Mr. Feng, your jokes are not funny. I don't get the point."

Chen was not in a good mood, and her tone was indifferent, without any ups and downs. She walked to Feng Qingyu's left side and leaned on his left shoulder.

There is no wound on the left shoulder, and it doesn't hurt even if something is pressing on it.

Chen was unusual today, changing from her usual vigorous and resolute self to clingy and fragile. After all, Chen was just an ordinary woman who armed herself with strength, and any woman needed others' care and love.

If we consider Chen’s early experiences, we can understand how deep her desire for love is.

He lost his mother at a young age, and then lost his closest sister. When he grew up a little, he was thrown into a boarding family by his irresponsible and vain father. In the boarding family, Chen lived a life of dependence.

Finally, she survived the most painful days, was admitted to the Victoria Royal Guards College, lived in the school dormitory, and met the enthusiastic and simple Victorian girl Bagpipe.

From then on, life gradually got back on track.

In a sense, Chen is quite pitiful, but she gives people the impression of being too tough, and everyone ignores her request for care.

Caring cannot be self-sufficient, it must be given by a second person.

Feng Qingyu is determined to be the one who cares for Chen.

"Mr. Chen, if you want to cry, just hug me and cry. There are only the two of us here. If you cry, only I will see it, no one else will. Don't feel embarrassed."

"Humph……"

Chen narrowed his eyes and moved closer.

"The word 'crying' doesn't exist in my dictionary. I haven't shed a single tear since I lost Tallulah. I advise you not to have any bad thoughts. I won't cry."

"Yes, sir."

As far as Feng Qingyu could remember, he had never seen Chen shed tears.

Her willpower is as hard as a rock, she only bleeds but never cries, and everyone thinks Chen is a woman without emotions.

Only those who know her well know that beneath her hard shell she has a very soft heart.

Chen suddenly moved his head away, changed to hugging, and buried his face in Feng Qingyu's neck. This action was more or less a bit coquettish, but the person involved might not have noticed it.

"I feel a little tired..."

"The work of the Guard Bureau is a bit more. Although the senior superintendent seems to be glorious, he has to do a lot of work and must be under a lot of pressure. I understand."

"Not completely. Work is only a part of it. I feel lost now. I don't see a clear path for the future..."

Chen has become like this since he met Tallulah.

What happened that day had a great impact on her. Every time she closed her eyes before going to sleep, she would see the scene of the day of their separation.

Tallulah's resentful eyes are still lingering in my mind, and her crying and shouting are still ringing in my ears.

"My efforts were ultimately incapable of saving her. I'm worried that one day I'll have to fight her myself, and then... I might have to kill her myself."

Chen finally got to the point.

Not only Chen was worried, Feng Qingyu was also worried that Rhodes Island would then face a final battle with Tallulah.

Losing either one would be a great pain for her.

Her desire to save Tallulah is no weaker than that of Sir Chen.

"I have the same idea. It would be great if I could find out what happened to her. Now, there is nothing I can do."

Both of them were very negative, with low emotions surrounding them, and they could only hug each other tightly.

Chen's voice became vague, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

"Promise me that no matter what happens, you will never leave my side."

"I promise you."

They stared at each other for a moment, their lips unconsciously touching each other.

The surface of the river reflected two kissing figures.

Sixty Breaths

The two stayed on the bridge for a long time and left around noon.

Feng Qingyu's lips felt a little numb. In order to appease his boss who was rarely vulnerable, it was understandable to make a little sacrifice.

Chen felt much better now. In the rearview mirror, he could still see a faint smile on her face. It was fleeting, but it was there.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to go somewhere for dinner? Or should we just go home?"

"Go home. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, and I need to go to bed early tonight. It's not suitable for me to go out and play. Besides, Longmen is in a mess because of the Integration Movement. Many shopping malls and restaurants have not resumed business. There is nothing fun to do."

"Okay, then I'll take you home and then go back to Rhodes Island."

"No."

……

Originally, Feng Qingyu should have retired after sending Chen back to the downstairs of the community, but Chen forced him to follow him upstairs.

"Sir Chen, there is still a lot of work waiting for me to do in Rhodes Island. You are forcing me to stay here, isn't that right?"

One step forward is the abyss, the right thing to do is to stop in time.

"I don't care. You've only been with me for two hours and you want to leave? That's a good idea. Be with me before you go be with your lover. There's no room for negotiation on this."

"What is Yingying Yanyan? Who is Yingying Yanyan?"

"Your Dr. Kal'tsit, your red-haired roommate, the barbecued pork cat, the doctor, and many other messy women. I won't list them all. You can like everyone, but you must like me the most."

"Eh... then I look like a harem king."

"The King of Ten Thousand Females is about the same."

Without any explanation, Feng Qingyu was dragged into the house by Chen.

Chen locked the door, brought slippers to Feng Qingyu, and asked her to put them on in the place where shoes were changed in the entrance. Now that things had come to this, she had to stay here for a while.

There are no other arrangements today, and the time limit agreed with Kal'tsit is rather vague. It is just said "evening", and it is considered evening until before dawn the next day.

Of course, she couldn't let Kal'tsit wait that long, so she thought she could go back after sitting for another half an hour or an hour.

I have work to do tomorrow in Rhodes Island, so I need to squeeze in some time for my private life. Although I feel sorry for the woman who loves me, there is nothing I can do about it.

Feng Qingyu had just entered the living room and hadn't even found a seat when Chen picked her up and continued the unfinished project on the bridge.

"Mr. Chen... I'm a little thirsty. Can I have a glass of water first? The sauce I dipped my rice rolls in was too salty, and now my mouth is dry."

Chen poured her a 300cc glass of water.

"Here. I haven't seen you for a few days. I think you've gotten tanned and lost some weight. I heard that meat is very cheap in Sargon, and you can eat all you can eat beef and mutton in any restaurant. What's wrong with you?"

When it comes to Sargon's trip, Feng Qingyu has countless things to complain about. She drank a whole glass of water and began to talk about her experience in the past two days.

As they were talking, she and Chen both fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already evening and the lights were on. In the distant harbor, street lights gradually lit up, the black waters merged with the night, and the light spots of the street lights formed a long light belt that stretched into the distance.

Feng Qingyu reached out and groped for the light switch next to the bed, and turned on a dim night light that would not affect his sleep.

This is a small wall lamp in the classical style of the Eastern Palace. It was given by Xingxiong. Chen likes to turn it on when he goes to bed. He didn’t turn it on today just because he fell asleep.

"Wow, it's past seven..."

It was already this late, she had to go back to Rhode Island immediately.

Chen next to him was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the passage of time, and it seemed that he would sleep until the next morning.

Feng Qingyu quietly took Chen's mobile phone, set the alarm for her at seven o'clock the next morning, put it back in its place, put on the clothes that were thrown on the ground, and tiptoed out of the room.

It is not too late to go to the medical department office to find Kal'tsit at this time. Based on Feng Qingyu's understanding of her, she had just got up in the afternoon and now is her time when she is full of energy.

Kal'tsit had just finished a phase of work and was ready to take a break. Calculating the time, a certain guy should be back soon.

On the desk was a newly printed "Document for the Reinstatement of Rhodes Island Operators". Rhodes Island was a formal pharmaceutical company, and many things needed to be handled through procedures, which also made some steps more complicated.

Resignation and reinstatement, taking leave and using aircraft and venues all require filling out formal documents and obtaining the consent of the person in charge of Rhodes Island.

Feng Qingyu was going to continue working in Rhodes Island. The last procedure was to sign this document, and it would be completed with Kal'tsit's stamp.

"..."

Kal'tsit really wanted to complain, "It's so slow," but then she thought that these two short words contained the girl's resentment and coquettishness. She was already far away from the stage of being a "girl", as it was more than two centuries ago.

The elders of Rhodes Island must maintain their usual dignity, and any words related to cute, girlish, or coquettish cannot appear in her description.

Five minutes after eight, Feng Qingyu hurriedly knocked on Kal'tsit's office door. Kal'tsit said "Come in" and filled her empty cup with coffee.

"I'm late, Dr. Kal'tsit... I need to take a rest first..."

Feng Qingyu was very anxious now. She put the motorcycle in the vehicle loading area and jogged all the way here, almost falling down several times.

Fortunately, she met some kind operators passing by who helped her up, so she didn't end up being too embarrassed.

My waist still hurts as it should. It’s because I haven’t exercised enough, because I have too many tasks and neglected health management.

Just now, Feng Qingyu met Yaye who was coming out of the medical department's information room in the corridor outside. He said that he wanted to do morning exercises together in a few days. Theoretically, Yaye would refuse, but she agreed.

By the way, Yaye also announced some good news for Feng Qingyu.

"Teacher Kal'tsit mentioned to me that she asked me to urge you to restore your physical fitness to normal levels. In addition, Rhodes Island has recently changed the dormitory allocation. You and Surtur have been assigned to a three-person room, and I will be your roommate. I will be waiting for you in the new dormitory at noon tomorrow. You can call me if you need help moving things."

If there is one more self-disciplined person in the dormitory, others will also regulate their behavior invisibly. In addition, with Yaye watching, that guy Sartel would not dare to do anything reckless.
