Chapter 3079: Experiencing the Movie Plot

In the hotel, after hanging up the phone with Anning, Lin Yi stretched lazily.

Since he had come all the way here, he naturally couldn't leave empty-handed.

He also needed to buy some gifts for the two children.

Lin Yi ordered a plate of braised pork knuckle, a plate of sweet and sour pork, and a cold dish, preparing to have a meal first.

The food here was still as it used to be, large in quantity and cheap, one serving could match three in Zhonghai.

"Kid, can you eat all of this by yourself?" the boss lady said warmly.

"No problem, I'll have four bowls of rice too."

The boss lady sized up Lin Yi, "You're not here to scout the place and shoot videos, are you? You can shoot freely, but it's not good to waste food."

"Big sister, don't worry, I'm just a passerby, I just have a big appetite."

"Oh, oh..."

The boss lady didn't say anything more and went to arrange the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Since it wasn't mealtime, there weren't many people in the restaurant, and the dishes came quickly. In less than ten minutes, the three plates of food were on the table.

The boss lady sat nearby, watching Lin Yi intently, seemingly curious to see how he would finish the three plates of food.

Lin Yi didn't pay much attention and started eating voraciously once the food was served.

Energy is conserved. Lin Yi could go days without sleeping or eating, but that didn't mean he was exceptionally gifted; he needed a large amount of food to replenish his energy afterward.

The food in front of him was nothing to Lin Yi.

In less than 20 minutes, Lin Yi had finished the three plates of food and four bowls of rice.

The boss lady, sitting nearby, was dumbfounded; it was the first time she had seen someone eat so much.

After wiping his mouth and settling the bill, Lin Yi took a taxi and left.

He went to Central Street, bought some local souvenirs and two snowman dolls for the children, and also bought a lot of local delicacies.

On the way back, he would pass through the capital. Since he had plenty of time, he planned to visit the children and then drive back.

After buying the items, it was already dark. Lin Yi repacked everything and prepared to go to the district transfer station and return.

Leaving the hotel, Lin Yi suddenly noticed a white Volkswagen Sagitar parked at the entrance.

It cost a few hundred thousand yuan, a very ordinary family car, commonly seen on the streets.

But what was unusual was that the person sitting in the car was Anning.

Seeing Anning again, he noticed she hadn't changed much, but she had become more gentle and graceful.

One was in the car, the other outside, the two looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.

Wearing a tight-knit sweater, her long hair tied up, the charm of a mature woman was evident on her.

Anning didn't move but took out her phone and called Lin Yi.

"Are you leaving now?"

"How did you know I was staying here?"

"You stayed here last time. In an unfamiliar place, I thought you might choose here again, so I waited for you." Anning said.

"Now that I've seen you, I have no regrets."

"Who doesn't have regrets?"

"I do." Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Anning's face showed a gentle smile, as if it could melt the snow outside.

"I won't see you off; I still need to put the kids to bed."

"Okay."

Lin Yi nodded lightly and looked at Anning.

"Do you remember what I said to you that day?"

"I remember." Anning replied:

"When I encounter difficulties, as long as I tell you, no matter where you are, no matter how far away, you will be the first to appear in front of me."

"This promise will always be valid."

"I remember that when you left last time, you kissed me on the cheek. Now that I have a child, kissing again would be inappropriate."

Anning held her phone and looked at Lin Yi gently, "Show me a heart before you leave."

Lin Yi recalled the heart gesture made by idols and tried to mimic it.

It felt a bit awkward.

"You're so clumsy, like a pig."

Lin Yi laughed, looking a bit silly.

"I'm leaving now, have a safe trip back."

"Okay, it's cold and the roads are slippery, drive slowly."

"Okay."

The two hung up the call almost simultaneously.

Anning turned and left, and Lin Yi also turned around.

The two walked in opposite directions, neither looking back.

Lin Yi took a taxi to the district transfer station in Bingcheng.

The goods bound for Zhonghai were already loaded onto the truck. With the experience from the first time, this time it was much smoother.

When he went to the dispatch office, many people recognized Lin Yi.

Twenty-two hours from Zhonghai to Bingcheng, this speed would be hard to beat in the future.

After getting the ticket, Lin Yi drove out of the district.

This time, Lin Yi's speed was even faster, and he arrived in the capital in about 12 hours.

He parked the car at the district transfer station and took a taxi to Liang Ruoxu's place.

When he got home, he found that the nanny opened the door, and Liang Ruoxu wasn't there.

"Hey, son-in-law is back."

Seeing Lin Yi, the nanny greeted him warmly, found slippers for him, and wanted him to come in.

"Aunt Chen, where are Ruoxu and the child?"

"Ruoxu is at work, and the child is with her grandparents. She gave me three days off. If you had come a bit later, I would have left."

"I see, then I won't come in. You're busy, Aunt Chen, I'll leave now."

"Have a drink before you go."

"No, it's fine."

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi left the things he bought and turned to leave.

The child was now over a year old, and Liang Ruoxu's life had returned to normal.

Although Liang Ruoxu's potential was already set, she still needed to quickly return to her job and become a pillar of the Liang family.

Arriving at Liang Ruoxu's workplace, many people subconsciously looked at Lin Yi, most of them women.

But many of them thought he was a maintenance worker.

After entering the government building, Lin Yi reviewed their past chat records.

He remembered that Liang Ruoxu had told him about this, saying she would return to work soon, but he had forgotten the exact date.

So now he needed to review it to avoid revealing his lack of concern during their conversation.

"Excuse me, where is Director Liang's office?"

At the reception window, Lin Yi asked politely.

Inside the window, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses sat, with the demeanor of a retired university professor, not smiling easily.

Completely different from the receptionist at the agricultural research institute, they couldn't be compared.

The middle-aged woman looked at Lin Yi, "Who are you? Do you have an appointment?"

"I'm her..."

Halfway through his sentence, Lin Yi looked at his attire and felt it was inappropriate to say "husband," so he said:

"I'm her friend, I came to see her about something."

"Please register first, Director Liang is in room 808."

"Okay."
