Novel Full Chapter 112
Chapter 112 – A Terrible Place
“I don’t have time, Brother Fu.” Yang Yi understood Fu Jun’s “difficulties”, however, he was still unwilling.
“D*mn it, how come you don’t have time? You usually only have few costumers when your shop is open. Anyway, it’s only a few costumers, there wouldn’t be a problem if you close your shop for a day or two and come out to attend a signing meeting!” Fu Jun began to complain.
Yang Yi twisted the milk bottle closed, squeezed a little on the back of his hand, licked it, felt the temperature was about right, and handed it to Xixi, who was looking forward to it. This was his daughter’s “afternoon tea”.
“Brother Fu, I have to take care of my child!” Yang Yi then picked up the phone he had put aside, turned off the loudspeaker mode, and said with a smile, “You have to understand the helplessness of a stay-at-home dad.”
“Why can’t spare a day? What about sister-in-law[1]?” Fu Jun yelled, “By the way, I haven’t met your wife yet. When you come to Yangcheng to play, how about I invite you to a meal? Our families can get to know each other better!”
“Uh.” The title of sister-in-law was somewhat not appropriate. Yang Yi didn’t respond immediately. After a short pause, he said, “She is busier than I am and can’t leave her work.”
“You’re making millions a month, and your wife still needs to go to work? Is it possible that she earns more than you?” Fu Jun was puzzled.
Yang Yi scratched his head. He really didn’t know how much Mo Fei earns from commercial performances now, but if her savings when she was at the peak was included…
“She probably… has more money than me.” Yang Yi said honestly.
Fu Jun was speechless. After holding it for a while, he said, “So that’s the case. No wonder you don’t care about money at all.”
Although Fu Jun didn’t think that Yang Yi would get involved with a rich woman[2], he reckoned that Yang Yi got a rich second-generation wife.
There was nothing he could do about it. Yang Yi wasn’t just a simple author, he was also his partner. The Sahara online bookstore they were running has entered into people’s view through the hot sales of “Soldier Assault” and “Drawing Sword”. Moreover, he also contributed a lot to the two books’ sales!
“But there’s something I want to talk to you about!” Fu Jun became serious and said, “The military region received the books we printed and delivered earlier, telling us that these two works have received a good response in the army. Among them, the Jiangnan Military Region issued an invitation letter, saying that they would like to invite you to go to the army to tell the recruits about the original intention of creation and the spirit behind the two stories.”
“……”
Seeing that the receiver was silent, Fu Jun sighed and said, “I know you don’t like these activities, but there’s nothing you could do about it. That’s the invitation of the army. Even If you don’t want to go, you have to go! Fortunately, it’s just the Jiangnan Military Region. It’s right there… “
In fact, Yang Yi was not as conflicted as Fu Jun thought. When he thought of going to the army to give a speech, he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Was it a longing from the depths of his memory? Or was it some kind of homesickness?
Obviously, Yang Yi, as an assassin in his previous life, had no special feelings for the army, but with the memory of his predecessor, Yang Yi had to occasionally experience the obsession that this body once had.
It was not his intention to leave the military camp. There, it was the “home” that he could not go back to…
Since there was such an obsession, then go for it! Although it was not the military camp where “he” once stayed, Yang Yi thought that it would be better to go there and get rid of this obsession. ．
“Hello, Yang Yi, the army really can’t be offended! Even if you don’t give me face, you have to give them face!” Fu Jun was still trying to persuade him.
Yang Yi smiled and asked directly, “When?”
“What?”
“I’m asking you, when do they want me to go to the military camp?” Yang Yi asked, “I have to arrange for Xixi to be sent to her mother, or there will be no one to take care of her! You can’t take a child to the military, can you?”
Xixi, who was drinking milk next to him, pricked up her ears, turned her head, and looked at her father with big sparkling eyes.
“No problem. I will immediately reply to the people of the Jiangnan Military Region and make an appointment with them at a suitable time.” Fu Jun hung up the phone with delight.
When Xixi saw her father put down his cell phone, she excitedly waddled over quickly. She seemed to have grown taller, swiftly climbing up the chair in front of the bar.
“Where is Papa going to play? Why not take Xixi with you?” Xixi asked, pouting her mouth.
Er, Yang Yi didn’t know why his daughter’s ears were so sharp. She also heard the message that he wanted to go to the military camp alone.
“No, if Papa goes to any fun place, he will definitely take Xixi!”
“Papa is lying. I just heard it all.” The little girl put the milk bottle down and said, “Papa said in the phone that Xixi would be sent to Mama. Hum, Papa is a bad guy, don’t take Xixi to play!”
As she said that, her eyes turned red with grievance. It was as if her father did something really bad…
Yang Yi had no choice but to reach out and hug the little guy and coax her: “That’s not what Papa meant. If he was going to some fun place, how could he not bring Xixi?”
“Then why not bring Xixi?” The little girl felt more and more aggrieved in her father’s arms, sobbing gently, and a few crystal clear tears hung from her long eyelashes.
“Because Papa is going to the army!” Yang Yi explained, “But the army is not a fun place! It’s full of people there. There’s no TV, you can’t watch cartoons, you can’t wear beautiful dress, you can’t take your baby bear…”
Although he just wanted to scare Xixi, Yang Yi was also telling the truth.
Xixi never thought there would be such a terrible place!
No TV, no cartoons, no beautiful dresses, no baby bears? The grievance in the little girl’s eyes disappeared, leaving only surprise and nervousness.
“Then why is Papa going? Xixi doesn’t want Papa to go.” The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She held her father’s finger tightly and shook her head to her father.
She was afraid that her father would not come back if he went there, so her big eyes were full of worry.
Touched and amused, Yang yi reached out his hand and gently traced the bridge of her daughter’s nose. He explained in a gentle voice, “It doesn’t matter. Papa is just going for one day to give a speech to others, and then come back!”
“Don’t lie to Xixi!” Xixi said with a pouted mouth.
“When has Papa ever lie to you?” Yang Yi cried out that he was wrongly accused.
The little girl tilted her head and thought, and it seemed that he really hasn’t. But the little girl was still a little worried. She held out the little finger of her right hand and said, “Papa must make a pinky promise Xixi!”
“OK, Papa pinky promise you that he would be right back after the speech. Never let Xixi worry!” Yang Yi smiled and hooked with her little finger. The big hand and the small hand formed a sharp contrast.
At this time, the little girl was smiling from ear to ear, although her little face still looked like a pear blossom bathed in the rain. (TN: A weeping beauty)
