Chapter 118 – Yang Yi, You Squat Down
There were no more interludes in the barracks, and Yang Yi was sent back that night. Of course, he was inevitably drunk. Fortunately, Yang Yi used his internal skills to force out some alcohol, so he wouldn’t fall flat on the ground.
Xiao Yan drove Yang Yi to the main entrance of Jiangcheng Media University. After getting off the jeep, Yang Yi was stunned for a moment.
“I seemed to have forgotten something?” Yang Yi shook his head and went home to sleep. “Forget it. I must have drunk too much.”
He did forget something. The dagger he threw in the morning was still lying pitifully in the grass, looking at the moonlight!
It wasn’t until a few days later when the gardener in charge of mowing the grass discover the dagger. Rumors of possible robbers in the vicinity of Jiangcheng Media University spread around the campus, causing panic among some students who were still staying in the University.
At that time, Yang Yi remembered that he really forgot to pick up the dagger…
However, this was what happens afterwards. For this visit to the military camp, it was a rare opportunity for his true name to be known. His influence following after that would slowly expand.
After Yang Yi gave a speech in the military region, the news was inevitably revealed to his fans. Although the spread of the news was a bit slow, within a few days, many people in the book review area began to talk about it.
“I heard that the author himself is a soldier?”
“I heard that the Great Yang Yi is very strong. He beat up all the special forces soldiers?”
“Haha, I remember there was a post before in which a book friend, who claimed that he was a special forces soldier, analyzed the novel and said that the details in it were very realistic, and that Yang Yi was definitely a retired special forces soldier! At that time, some people satirized that it was impossible. They said that the thing that a writer can’t lack when writing novel is imagination. How can it be possible that the one who wrote about special forces is a special forces soldier himself? Now, that’s a slap in their face!”
“That’s right, it’s not necessarily a fashion designer who can describe the details of a girl’s hair and makeup. But to be able to write accurate and detailed details of special operations, one must be a special forces soldier! After all, it is quite uncommon for one to have experience as a special forces soldier. Without personal experience, how can he write so well? After hearing about the identity of Yang Yi, I was relieved. You people with very poor fighting ability[1] come here and kneel down to the special forces boss!”
“You guys upstairs[2] are making us itch. What does Yang Yi look like? Is he handsome? How old is he? Is he married or not? Why is there no information about him on the Internet?”
“Asking the same question!”
“Yang Yi’s books are selling so well, but they don’t even have a book signing event. Isn’t that too much?”
“Yes, editor, I know you are reading this. Please inform the author immediately and ask him to come out and have a book signing event. We want to have an offline meeting[3] with him!”
“If there is a book signing event, I absolutely support it! I bought the books as soon as it went on sale, but if there will be a book signing event in Shanghai, I’ll buy another ten copies on the spot to give it away!”
“Upstairs!”
However, these appeals were of little use.
Yang Yi still didn’t want to be a public figure. He mercilessly rejected Fu Jun’s requests for a book signing event again and again, as well as Qiyue’s invitation to attend some offline events.
He really was quite busy. What was more important was that he operated his shop and spent time with his daughter!
…….
The next day after he came back, Yang Yi went to pick up Xixi. The little girl called early in the morning, shouting and asking, “Did Papa got caught in that terrible place and hasn’t returned yet?”
When he arrived at Mo Fei’s house, Yang Yi nodded with some embarrassment to Aunt Zhu, the nanny, who opened the door. The last time he came, he wasn’t so friendly. Because of that, Aunt Zhu felt awkward facing Yang Yi. She found an excuse and went back to her nanny room.
“Papa, I’m so worried about you!” As expected, Xixi, this little girl, was her Papa’s thoughtful little sweetheart. As soon as he came up, she couldn’t wait to throw herself into his father’s arms and called out to him. Her voice was very pleasant to hear.
“What are you worried about? Isn’t Papa all right?” Yang Yi pinched the little girl’s nose with a smile.
Mo Fei was only now beginning to pack up. While folding some of Xixi’s underclothing and put them into the suitcase, she complained: “After being spoiled by you for a few days, she is getting more and more naughty now. She has only been home for two days, and she is clamoring to go back to her father every day!”
“Because Papa will cook delicious food for Xixi!” Xixi pouted and said unconvinced.
Mo Fei pouted, pretended to be wronged, and said, “Since Mama can’t cook delicious food for Xixi to eat, would Xixi not want Mama anymore?”
“No, how can Xixi not want Mama?” The little girl waved her hand hurriedly.
“What should I do?” Mo Fei teased her.
Xixi tilted her little head to think, and then naively said: “Mama can live with Papa and Xixi, so that Papa can also make delicious food for Mama!”
Yang Yi didn’t say a word, but listened with interest.
Mo Fei caught a glimpse of Yang Yi smiling. She rolled her eyes at him in anger and while she was handing him the luggage, she kicked him on the foot.
“Why?” Although it didn’t hurt, Yang Yi was still puzzled.
You two, mother and daughter, quarreled. Why am I, someone watching the show, also affected?
“Nothing!” Mo Fei hummed.
As she was about to go out, Mo Fei stopped Yang Yi. She hesitated and said, “That’s right! After I finish this trip, I will ask Sister Ling for a half a month’s holiday in the second half of the month, and then find a kindergarten for Xixi with you. “
“What’s a kindergarten?” Xixi also asked curiously.
“Kindergarten is a very fun place!” Mo Fei coaxed.
“For the last half a month, I think I’d better stay with you.” Mo Fei hadn’t finished speaking, and quickly added a few words of explanation, “but this is because Xixi always wants to stay with you. I want to accompany her!”
“Yes! Yes!” Xixi cheered happily first and said, “Mama is going to live at Papa’s house!”
“Uh, all right!” Yang Yi nodded and said.
His response was a little lukewarm. It wasn’t as good as Xixi’s! Mo Fei said with some dissatisfaction, “What? You’re not happy with that?”
Yang Yi complained of being wronged, “What do you mean? You can come and stay for as many days as you want!”
At this moment, Mo Fei seemed to see something and suddenly grabbed the duffel bag in Yang Yi’s hand: “Wait a minute, don’t go yet. Come here, I want to take a look at you!”
Yang Yi was somehow pulled by her to the bright light of the living room. Xixi was also put down.
“Yang Yi, you squat down!” Mo Fei ordered.
“Huh?” Yang Yi was confused, but still obediently squatted down.
Xixi was watching curiously.
Yang Yi, who had just squatted down, suddenly smell a delicate fragrance. Mo Fei, dressed in home clothes, walked in front of him. But before he could look at her, his face was held by Mo Fei’s hands and lifted up gently.
From bottom to top, Mo Fei’s exquisite and flawless face was still breathtakingly beautiful. She looked good at any angle!
But Mo Fei frowned. She gently touched the corner of Yang Yi’s mouth, which still had some traces of his wound. She asked in doubt, “What did you do yesterday? How did you get hurt?”
Yang Yi couldn’t hide it, so he had to tell the truth: “When I went to the army, I inevitably had to compete with their master, and I was accidentally punched. But it doesn’t matter, I still won!”
“How could you be so reckless? Why would you want to fight with others?” Mo Fei didn’t care whether he won or lost. She said anxiously, “Your lip cracked. Does it still hurt?”
Yang Yi didn’t know why, but he felt warm in his heart. The small wound couldn’t be compared with the injuries he had suffered in his previous life. But in his previous life no one cared about him and no one cared about him so much like this.
“It’s okay, it’s just a small wound!” Yang Yi comforted, “Actually, I was careless. If I were more serious, he would never touch me!”
“And you’re still keep saying that! Fighting is wrong!” Mo Fei said angrily, “Are you hurt anywhere else? I’ll find something to clean it for you…”
“Uh, okay, it’s my fault. But it’s really not necessary. It’s just a small wound, and I’m not hurt anywhere else…” Yang Yi stood up, held down the anxious Mo Fei and persuaded.
