The next morning.
A military jeep arrived at Lin Fei's villa courtyard.
Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and Qin Zimo, among others, walked out of the villa.
A beautiful female soldier in a military uniform, with an enchanting figure, got out of the jeep.
It was Chen Commander's secretary, Li Ying.
"It's so nice to see the beautiful Secretary Li again!" Lin Fei walked over, smiling brightly.
Li Ying, hearing Lin Fei praise her beauty without missing a beat, felt quite happy inside, but maintained a stern expression, saying, "Lin Fei, cut the sweet talk! The things Commander Chen ordered for you are ready."
After speaking, Li Ying turned to a soldier beside her and said, "Take out the items."
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around, and opened the jeep's rear door, taking out six long boxes.
Li Ying pointed to the long boxes the soldier was holding and said to Lin Fei, "According to the dimensions you provided, Baoli Group's military enterprise made them to the highest standards. Check if you're satisfied?"
Lin Fei stepped forward, took one of the long boxes, opened it, and saw a soft sword inside. The brand-new soft sword had a sharp blade, gleaming coldly — it was clearly a fine sword.
After all, it was made by a military enterprise, so the quality was first-rate.
Inside the box, in addition to a soft sword, there was also a sheath designed to enclose the soft sword.
Lin Fei said to Li Ying, "A masterpiece sword; please thank Commander Chen for me."
"Commander Chen said as long as you like it, that's fine. Also, whenever you come to Shencheng or visit the Capital City, you must call him," Li Ying replied.
Lin Fei asked, "So Commander Chen is from the Capital City?"
"Yes, he's dispatched from the Capital City's military," Li Ying nodded.
Lin Fei agreed, "Secretary, tell Commander Chen I'll be back."
"Mm, Lin Fei, safe travels." Li Ying looked at Lin Fei, eyes showing a bit of reluctance.
Although Lin Fei wasn't part of the Shencheng military, he had become famous there for defeating Prince Wen Bozhong and Cyan Dragon Zhu Qinglong.
That's why Li Ying felt unwilling to see Lin Fei leave.
"Thank you, Li Ying." Lin Fei said, becoming serious.
Then Lin Fei said to Yuan Yuxi, Xiao Xiao, Wang Yixin, Su Xiaoyue, Xiao Ling, and Zheng Yutong, "These soft swords are weapons I made for you all; please accept them!"
Indeed, the cultivation techniques practiced by the six required swords, so Lin Fei had told Commander Chen a month ago that he needed several soft swords, hoping the Commander could help and have them made by the military enterprise.
Commander Chen agreed without hesitation, and after receiving Lin Fei's call last night informing him of his return to Huadu, he sent Secretary Li to deliver the swords the next morning.
Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, and the others took the sword boxes from the soldier and were thrilled to see the well-crafted, sharp soft swords inside.
The reason Lin Fei opted for soft swords over hard ones was because the paper-thin soft swords could easily be worn at the waist, convenient for carrying and concealing, unlike hard swords.
Conversely, carrying a hard sword would draw stares from passersby, especially in modern society, not the ancient times when one could travel with a sword.
"Take care, Lin Fei; I'm heading back." Li Ying stated formally to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded, "Secretary Li, safe journey."
Li Ying and the soldier opened the jeep's door, got in, and the jeep started and left the villa.
Lin Fei and Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, and others returned to the villa for breakfast; afterward, everyone went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.
The only ones left on the living room sofa were Lin Fei and Su Xiaoyue.
Lin Fei felt fine, but Su Xiaoyue seemed a little uneasy and fidgety, as though she had something on her mind.
"Xiaoyue, what's the matter?" Lin Fei had noticed something was off with Su Xiaoyue and asked.
Su Xiaoyue clasped her hands together nervously, her head slightly bowed, her pretty face flushed with a shy expression, and said, "Lin Fei, when you return to Huadu, will you... forget me?"
Saying this, Su Xiaoyue looked at Lin Fei nervously.
Lin Fei said, "Of course not; how could I forget you?"
Su Xiaoyue's tension eased, and she said, "In a few days, I'll be going back to the Capital City for school. If you come to the Capital City, you must visit me at Capital City University."
Lin Fei nodded, "Alright, I promise you."
Su Xiaoyue hesitated, wanting to say more, but she didn't have the courage. "I..."
Ultimately, she couldn't muster the courage to confess her feelings to him.
However, she believed she and Lin Fei would meet again; she wouldn't give up on him, even if thousands of miles separated them.
Lin Fei had guessed what she wanted to say, but her lack of boldness saved him from having to respond.
After all, at this moment, he couldn't provide Su Xiaoyue with a definite answer and didn't want to hurt her.
The journey to Shencheng brought Lin Fei, Su Xiaoyue, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, and others through numerous perilous situations. As they say, adversity reveals true feelings, and he couldn't claim to have zero affection for them after all they'd been through.
Yet Lin Fei always regarded his senior sister as the most important person; how should he handle the feelings from Su Xiaoyue, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi?
At least for now, he didn't have a clear answer.
Some answers can only be resolved by time.
After packing their belongings, everyone boarded the cars of Zheng Yutong, Su Xiaoyue, and Leng Ying, leaving the villa.
At Shencheng International Airport, Director Qin, Su Zhenjiang, and Zheng Guozhu came to see Lin Fei off.
Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling, as a couple, were especially reluctant to part, exchanging tender farewells.
But all gatherings must end.
Finally, Su Xiaoyue and Zheng Yutong could only watch as Lin Fei and Xiao Ling's figures disappeared into the boarding passage.
Ten minutes later, an airplane roared toward the blue sky.
Onboard, Lin Fei gazed down at the skyscrapers and beautiful scenery of Shencheng, feeling sentimental: he originally thought this trip to Shencheng was just an ordinary vacation.
It turned out to be filled with so many unexpected events.
This was truly an extraordinary holiday.
"Ding!~~"
Just then, Lin Fei's WeChat pinged — a message from Li Xuechun.
It was a photo of an airplane soaring skyward, the very airplane Lin Fei was on.
Below the photo was a message: "Lin Fei, no matter where this plane flies, I'll miss you because I like you!"
Last night, Li Xuechun called Lin Fei, who told her he was returning to Huadu today. She said she wanted to see him off, but Lin Fei told her it wasn't necessary.
Unexpectedly, she still came.
"Ding!~~" Another WeChat message sounded.
He opened it; it was from Su Xiaoyue, also a picture of the plane Lin Fei was on, with a message: "This plane took my heart; I want to tell you, I love you..."
"Ding~~"
Yet another WeChat message arrived, making Lin Fei's heart race: Who could be messaging him now?
Afraid to open it, he found it was Guan Yuxuan.
Thankfully, there was no picture, but the message content left Lin Fei stunned: "Lin Fei, Xuechun told me she was a step late and only saw the plane take off, not you. Remember your promise to me; you must visit Hong Kong.
And, I LOVE YOU!"
Lin Fei was speechless — three women confessing their feelings simultaneously made his heart pound furiously; he felt overwhelmed by so much affection.
I need to be alone...
