Chapter 1248: Chapter 60 Hero_3

Paused for a moment.

She continued:

“[If you were an ordinary person without ability, I would really… let you stay.]”

Zhao Yingjun bit her lower lip, each word she uttered was light yet heavy:

“But, you are not.”

“You are an extraordinary person and destined to be; you have the ability to change all this, to save all of this. If someone like you, with such an innate ability to dream, doesn’t stand up at this moment… then who should stand up?”

“We have children, doesn’t Jask have children too? We have a life, won’t Liu Feng have a life in the future? If you have any thought, even a tiny one, of letting others take the risk and bear what you should bear… then you should bear this responsibility yourself.”

“Have you thought about it Lin Xian, people always talk about courage and sacrifice, putting others before themselves, but if it really came to that moment, do you think these people would stand up?”

“I think they would.”

Lin Xian said:

“National hate and family revenge are not the same.”

“Isn’t that right?”

Zhao Yingjun let out a light laugh:

“[Since others can, then we can too.]”

“Lin Xian, from the moment I met you and started a relationship with you, the thing I feared most was becoming your burden and hindrance… So, even after you left MX Company, knowing you were involved in dangerous things, I didn’t disturb you; even knowing you went to Copenhagen and Mi Country, I didn’t contact you.”

“At the same time, long before you knew, I knew about Yan Qiaoqiao and our relationship, but to not add an unnecessary burden on you, I chose not to tell you until you found out yourself, then I spoke the truth.”

“[If my man is a hero who saves the nation and the world, but turns into an ordinary person because of my existence, that’s something I cannot accept or allow.]”

She took a deep breath through her nose.

Gazing at the warm yellow light in the kitchen:

“Lin Xian, for the life we have now, we should be most grateful to those martyrs who bravely sacrificed on the frontline and in wars over the past century.”

“They were also fathers, husbands, children… They also had families and friends, but they sacrificed their lives to protect happiness and peace, a happiness they couldn’t even enjoy themselves, instead even their family and children might have met a tragic fate.”

“But even so, even when facing the gunfire, none of them retreated, they used their flesh and blood to build a Great Wall for us, protecting our current, a few decades, even hundreds of years of future happiness and well-being… In contrast, should we, who have the ability to save the future of humanity, face a future of human extinction in a few centuries and remain indifferent?”

“[The future of humanity is also the future of Huaxia, our future, the future of Yu Xi, our children, and our descendants.]”

…

Lin Xian listened to every word Zhao Yingjun said.

He understood all these principles.

He never thought of backing down, giving up, and enjoying life.

But understanding is one thing.

Before Huang Que disappeared, she touched his face…

Before Yu Xi turned into blue snowflakes, she hugged his neck and called him dad for the first time…

When Zhao Yingjun turned into a white jade statue in Rhine Sky City, waiting for 600 years…

“Lin Xian.”

Zhao Yingjun naturally saw through Lin Xian’s inner struggle, she stood up and solemnly stood before him:

“Lin Xian, I only want to ask you three questions, and I hope you can answer each question seriously and truthfully.”

Lin Xian raised his head, looking at Zhao Yingjun, illuminated by the warm yellow light from the kitchen in the dim living room, he nodded.

“The first question.”

Zhao Yingjun looked down at Lin Xian on the sofa, speaking word by word:

“If Yu Xi and I weren’t here, would you choose to hibernate now and go to the future to save everything?”

Lin Xian nodded:

“I would.”

Zhao Yingjun blinked:

“The second question…”

“If, because you didn’t personally go to the future, all this becomes irreparable, and you face the extinction of humanity powerless, watch in vain as the white light destroys everything, and see Chu Shanhe come out of the hibernation pod not seeing Chu Anqing’s smile… would you regret it?”

Lin Xian pursed his lips.

Eventually.

He nodded:

“I would.”

Zhao Yingjun took a deep breath through her nose:

“The third question.”

“If one day, when little Yu Xi grows up and talks to others about her father, would you like to hear her say ‘My dad is a great hero.’ or… ‘My dad was willing to give up the whole world to watch me grow up.’?”

…

…

A long silence.

Lin Xian stood up from the sofa, moved closer to Zhao Yingjun, placing his hands on either side of her abdomen, feeling little Yu Xi’s restless kicking:

“I hope… ”

His voice was very soft, as he spoke to the baby inside:

“[I hope in Yu Xi’s eyes, her father is a hero.]”

Zhao Yingjun reached out her hands.

Cupping Lin Xian’s face, bringing warmth to his heart:

“Go.”

Her gentle voice swept past Lin Xian’s ear:

“I think you already have the answer.”

“And, Lin Xian, you don’t need to feel guilty towards Huang Que, you don’t need to betray Huang Que’s trust, because… I will fulfill it for you.”

She smiled:

“Didn’t I tell you many times before? Your promise is also my promise, your vow is my vow.”

“What Huang Que said ‘Don’t leave Yu Xi’… I will help you achieve it!”

Lin Xian widened his eyes:

“You’re saying…”

“That’s right.”

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

“I promise you, in this life no matter what, I won’t leave Yu Xi. I will always accompany our daughter, raise her, watch her go to school, watch her grow up, see her graduate, watch her find her own life, see her build her own family…”

“I will spend my life accompanying Yu Xi, adding your share of love, encircling Yu Xi all around. I will not repeat the same mistakes, nor will I let you down, I will do as I say, I will stay with Yu Xi until my last breath, letting Yu Xi lay me to rest herself.”

“So, Lin Xian, rest assured and go, just like at the beginning, when I told you in the blue Bentley sports car on the overpass—”

“Go do what you truly want to do, go do what you’re willing to fight for, go do what you’re willing to devote your whole life to, go do what… if you don’t take this step, you will regret for life.”

She looked up.

The warm light in her eyes cleared away the gloom:

“[I will protect Yu Xi, you protect the world!]”
