Lin Shuai Nan returned home with a heavy heart.
Xiu Xiu could tell at a glance that Lin Shuai Nan had something on his mind.
After spending so much time together, Xiu Xiu was far too familiar with Lin Shuai Nan.
Moreover, it was very difficult for Lin Shuai Nan to lie to Xiu Xiu.
"Shuai Nan, are you hiding something from me?"
Xiu Xiu asked directly.
Lin Shuai Nan wasn't prepared to explain, and facing Xiu Xiu's sudden interrogation, he immediately became flustered.
"How could that be! Xiu Xiu, my wife, how could I possibly hide anything from you!"
Xiu Xiu remained silent, staring at Lin Shuai Nan.
This made Lin Shuai Nan feel incredibly guilty. Without waiting for Xiu Xiu to ask, he forced a smile and said, "Heh heh, I actually have something to tell you, but, this matter... heh heh, you must not tell anyone else!"
Xiu Xiu blinked her beautiful eyes!
"Is it that secret? Is it good news or bad news? Is it about you or someone else?"
"This... it's about me, and it's also about others!" Lin Shuai Nan scratched the back of his head.
"Nonsense, Lin Shuai Nan, who did you learn that from? Are you being dishonest? Don't tell me you've found another woman outside?"
Xiu Xiu was about to grab Lin Shuai Nan's ear.
Seeing this, Lin Shuai Nan quickly dodged, "Hey, Xiu Xiu, how could I possibly find another woman outside? I'm telling the truth, and this is not just my business, it's the business of all humanity!"
Xiu Xiu stopped and gave Lin Shuai Nan a look.
"What are you talking about? You're making it sound more and more exaggerated! What did you go out to do just now?"
Seeing Xiu Xiu stop, Lin Shuai Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I, I just went to see Big Brother. This matter, Big Brother told me about it. This time, Big Brother is going to take me to a very dangerous place!"
"What do you mean?" Xiu Xiu's nerves immediately tensed up, and she moved closer to Lin Shuai Nan.
Lin Shuai Nan didn't dodge this time. After much hesitation, he decided to tell Xiu Xiu the truth as Ling Feng had instructed.
"That's how it is. This time, Big Brother plans to take only me. I can't worry about anything else. Xiu Xiu, I know this is very dangerous, and I know you'll definitely worry about me. So, Xiu Xiu, you decide. If you don't let me go, I absolutely won't go!"
After saying this, Lin Shuai Nan was too nervous to look at Xiu Xiu.
But what Lin Shuai Nan never expected was that.
Xiu Xiu's eyes only turned slightly red, and then she raised her hands to cup his cheeks, bringing his face close to hers.
"Shuai Nan, you go! I know this might be very dangerous, but since Ling Feng is taking you, I believe that even if he gets into trouble, he definitely won't let you get into trouble. By following him, you can become even stronger. Don't forget, the entire human race is waiting for you to save them! I will never stop you from doing something like this!"
Towards the end, Xiu Xiu even forced a smile.
However, tears still trickled down from the corners of her eyes.
How could she not know how perilous this matter was?
However, Xiu Xiu had already experienced too much and knew very well how important this matter was to Lin Shuai Nan.
She knew even more clearly how important this matter was to Ling Feng.
And for all humanity, it was a matter of life and death. When Xiu Xiu first heard Lin Shuai Nan explaining these things, she instinctively wanted to stop him.
But when she heard the end, Xiu Xiu understood Lin Shuai Nan's thoughts.
She understood even more that Lin Shuai Nan telling her the truth was the greatest respect he could show her.
"Xiu Xiu, why are you crying? If you don't want me to go, I really won't go. I'll definitely listen to my wife! What is Big Brother compared to that!"
Lin Shuai Nan was startled by Xiu Xiu's reaction.
But he secretly thought that Ling Feng was truly a genius, as he had predicted.
As long as he told the truth, Xiu Xiu would indeed let him go!
"Silly boy, you're going to be a hero, I can't hold you back. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything here!"
Xiu Xiu wiped away her tears, comforted Lin Shuai Nan, and then reached out to touch her belly.
"This..."
Lin Shuai Nan glanced at Xiu Xiu's belly, and a look of conflict appeared on his face.
Lin Shuai Nan knew that he was about to become a father, and he was very much looking forward to and valuing this.
This was the only thing that could hold him back. For the sake of his child, Lin Shuai Nan could do anything.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the child. Shuai Nan, let's rest early. You're leaving tomorrow!"
Xiu Xiu then pulled Lin Shuai Nan to rest.
Lin Shuai Nan held Xiu Xiu, and couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Xiu Xiu, you really don't blame me?"
"Blame you for what, silly boy? You are my hero, and even more so, everyone's hero. Most importantly, you are going to be our baby's hero. I even hope that after the child is born, I can tell them that their father is the greatest person in the world, a hero admired by thousands!"
Xiu Xiu said softly, but every word gave Lin Shuai Nan unparalleled strength!
Lin Shuai Nan's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
He understood Xiu Xiu's feelings. Lin Shuai Nan's heart was very pure and clean, and because of this, Lin Shuai Nan remained like a child.
Sometimes, his thoughts were completely unfathomable.
But from this moment on, Lin Shuai Nan had truly begun to grow up!
He understood what he truly wanted.
A home!
He also understood what it took to have a stable home.
Thus, the night passed without incident, and the two slept in each other's arms.
The next morning, when Lin Shuai Nan opened his eyes, he saw that Xiu Xiu was already awake.
Xiu Xiu's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Shuai Nan, making him feel a little embarrassed!
"It's eight o'clock, Shuai Nan. Get up, you're leaving soon!"
"Okay!"
Lin Shuai Nan didn't say anything superfluous. He got up, washed, and ate.
Then, Xiu Xiu saw him off at the door as if she were sending off her husband going to work!
"Shuai Nan, go early and return early!"
"Yes, I'll try to be back before the baby is born."
Lin Shuai Nan waved goodbye and did not look back.
Xiu Xiu, however, stood at the door, waving for a long time. After Lin Shuai Nan left, she couldn't help but squat down by the door and cry.
The outcome of this journey was uncertain, only hoping for an early return!
At Ling Feng's house, at the dining table, Ling Feng had already explained everything!
This was also something he had promised Lin Si Qi and the others before.
Because of the experience from three years ago, Ling Feng decided to tell the truth this time to avoid worrying everyone.
Naturally, everyone was concerned, but their reactions were calmer than Xiu Xiu's.
They gently urged Ling Feng to return soon, and there were also some coquettish and intimate little gestures.
When Lin Shuai Nan arrived at Ling Feng's doorstep, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning!
"Did you get permission?"
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Shuai Nan.
Lin Shuai Nan scratched the back of his head, "Heh heh, Xiu Xiu is very understanding. However, I promised Xiu Xiu that I would try to return before the baby is born!"
"Oh? That might be a bit difficult and will significantly increase the danger. Are you sure you need to rush?"
Ling Feng's expression turned serious.
Lin Shuai Nan grinned carelessly, "Of course, a man must keep his word!"
