Chapter 2252: Chapter 2253: Rational Allocation of Time
Both of them fell silent for a moment, understanding Lin Yi’s intentions.
In some respects, the Central Guards Brigade was indeed not a very desirable place.
Today one might be alive and well, but tomorrow one could end up at the crematorium.
“Got it, Lin Bro.”
After finishing with the important matters, the three of them went their separate ways.
But before parting, Lin Yi still cautioned them to keep his whereabouts a secret and pretend he was still in Korea, not yet back.
Leaving the hotel, Lin Yi drove to Henglong Plaza.
New Year’s Day was approaching, and he certainly needed to make a trip to Yanjing.
Leaving today and returning tomorrow to Yang City, the scheduling was just perfect.
After arriving at the mall, Lin Yi bought a belt and a scarf, spending over two hundred thousand in total.
Given the status of both families, these items were insignificant.
And at their level, gift-giving truly represented a gesture of goodwill, as they lacked for nothing.
Conversely, back when he was farming in Happiness Village, the vegetables he brought them were received with incredible delight.

The shopping trip was brief—from entering the mall to leaving, it took less than half an hour.
In this world, as long as one had money, many problems ceased to exist.
After leaving the mall, Lin Yi went to Liang Ruoxu’s place, where he used his key to open the door with familiar ease.
The house was quiet, with unprocessed documents on the coffee table, along with Liang Ruoxu’s discarded underwear.
Walking into the bedroom, faint snores could be heard.
Subconsciously, Lin Yi checked his watch—it was just nine o’clock.
This was not the usual time for Liang Ruoxu to wake up in her biological clock.
She could easily sleep another half-hour, but if she were in her usual form, sleeping until noon wouldn’t be a problem.
Peeking through the door, Lin Yi saw Liang Ruoxu, lying on her side facing the door, soundly asleep.
Her nightgown’s strap had fallen off her shoulder, exposing a large expanse of pale skin.
Her magnificent peaks had shifted shape under pressure.
Lin Yi stood at the doorway, watching with interest for a good while, but Liang Ruoxu showed no sign of waking.
She even smacked her lips in her sleep and rolled over, seemingly deep in a dream.
Lin Yi walked over and gave Liang Ruoxu’s plump behind a kick.
She woke up abruptly, and upon seeing Lin Yi behind her, was almost ready to fight for her life.
“Damn you, I finally have a day off,” she complained with annoyance,
“Couldn’t you let me sleep a bit longer?”
“I said we’d go back to Yanjing today. If you keep sleeping, there’s no need to go back.”
“It’s only nine o’clock,” Liang Ruoxu said, her hair a tousled mess.
“Be sensible, will you? Hurry up and have your breakfast.”
Under Lin Yi’s prodding, Liang Ruoxu reluctantly got out of bed and went to freshen up.
She didn’t dare delay any longer, as she had promised her mother over the phone yesterday that she would not sleep in, would leave early, and would arrive in Yanjing before noon to have lunch together.
Now it seemed impossible to make it back to Yanjing by noon.
“I feel like there’s no need to rush. Just take things as they come.”
“How could I do that? It’s nearly ten o’clock already.”
“Even if you leave now, you’ll still get an earful when you get back. Might as well accept the reality. No matter what, you’re going to be scolded.”
After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Liang Ruoxu looked resigned.
There was no helping it; it seemed her sleep quality had improved lately.
Despite Lin Yi’s advice not to rush, Liang Ruoxu still managed to finish washing up, getting ready, and eating all within an hour, before leaving with Lin Yi.
They arrived in Yanjing around one o’clock in the afternoon.
“Now where to? The company?”
“My mom’s a bit busy; seeing her in the evening will be fine.”
“So where to now? Back to your place for some drills?” Lin Yi asked,
“In that case, it feels like just heading to a hotel would do.”
“You always think about hotels.” Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes and said,
“Also, I have to remind you, don’t think that just because you’ve got my mom’s approval, everything between us is set. If you can’t get past my dad, it’s all for naught.”
“That can’t be. I thought it was my future mother-in-law who calls the shots at home.”
“That’s because my dad hasn’t bothered to contest her on much.” Liang Ruoxu said,
“If my dad gets angry, my mom wouldn’t dare to say anything either.”
“Ugh… With what you’re saying, I’ve been pushing in the wrong direction.”
“It’s not entirely true, my mom makes most of the decisions.”
“But if my future father-in-law gets mad, the mother-in-law would have to back down too, right?”
“That’s true, but my dad seldom gets angry.”
“How many times has he lost his temper in your memory?”
“enenen… I’ve never seen him lose his temper.”
“I’m doomed, then. It’s all meaningless.”
“Stop that, don’t talk about my dad like that.” Liang Ruoxu said,
“Let’s go, we’ll swing by my dad’s place.”
Subsequently, the two hailed a cab to the Yanjing Military Zone.
Upon reaching the entrance, Liang Ruoxu waved cheerfully at the guards who also smiled back. Since they were on duty, they didn’t say anything and just let them through.
Kids like Liang Ruoxu, who grew up in large compounds, probably frequented places like these since childhood.
In their eyes, these solemn and sacred places were just like ordinary parks and plazas, nothing special.
But for Lin Yi, it was his first time visiting the Yanjing Military Zone, yet it felt familiar.
Because it resembled a larger version of the Central Guards Brigade.
After all, in China’s combat hierarchy, the Central Guards Brigade was also under military command.
However, aside from the difference in size, there was a considerable difference in the feel and atmosphere.
More solemn and austere than both Zhonghai Garrison Area and Central Guards Brigade.
Upon entering the compound, they could hear shouting; it was the sound of training soldiers inside.
Liang Ruoxu took out her phone and called Liang Ruocun.
“Dad, where are you?”
“I’ve arrived, wait there for me.”
After hanging up, Liang Ruoxu’s mood became even more cheerful.
But this was understandable; most girls generally have a good relationship with their fathers.
Lin Yi thought about it, deciding he should also have more daughters in the future.
At the same time, Liang Cunxiao was standing at one side of the training field, looking down at the old soldiers training below, nodding his head from time to time, with a smile on his face.
“Old Liang, what are you grinning for?”
A middle-aged man approached, about the same age as Liang Cunxiao but a bit thinner and darker-skinned.
The man’s name was Ma Dongren, a peer of Liang Cunxiao.
“Isn’t it New Year’s Day? My daughter is coming back, she’ll be here soon.”
“Is that necessary? Your daughter is just in Zhonghai. You act as if you haven’t seen her for years.” Ma Dongren teased,
“But I remember, Mi Li is almost 30 now, right? I know a young fellow who’s pretty good, should I introduce him to your Mi Li?”
