Please Don’t Give Up on Me - Chapter 48

After stepping off the plane, Qi Yue was surprised to find that more than half of the flying blade brigade had arrived on the apron.

They lined up neatly on the lawn on the left side of the plane, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Standing at the forefront of the queue were the Captain of Flying Blade, and…Major General Lin Hexiang, Chief of Staff of the Army’s Fifth Group Special Operations Brigade.

“Your dad is here.” Qi Yue squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

“Well, he should come. We have done a lot this time.” Lin Jing’s voice was slightly teasing.

His eyes met the man in uniform standing at the front of the queue.

The man is still resolute and calm. He is still the general staff of Lin Jing’s memory who will remain unmoved and stand firm no matter what happens.

However, Lin Jing noticed sharply that the gray hair on his temples had increased a lot in vain. And it just grew out within this six months.

Those worries he couldn’t say, the things that kept him insomnia many nights, became things he could no longer hide.

Lin Jing’s heart was slightly shaken, and she couldn’t tell what that sour feeling was for a while.

Zhao Tianxin walked behind Qi Yue and the others. She looked at the neat row of squares on her toes and whispered secretly: “Wow, I can’t believe this square is welcoming us. This is really director-level treatment. Do I have a chance to tell them,’comrades have worked hard’?”

Chen Chong responded very cooperatively: “After a while I say’comrades are good’, then you will pick up’comrades for your hard work.’”

Lin Jing: “Puff…”

Qi Yue sighed slightly: “Two live treasures…” What kind of pot is with what lid.

Zhao Tianxin: “Team Lin… just laughed? Did I hear it right?”

Lin Jing: “You got it wrong.”

Zhao Tianxin: “…”

Qi Yue: “…”

The Flying Blade Group held a grand farewell ceremony for the eleven soldiers and medical staff who died in the mission.

The farewell ceremony was held in the Martyrs Cemetery in the base of the Flying Blade Brigade. For martyrs without their families, their ashes will be buried permanently in the cemetery of martyrs. Martyrs with family members will be escorted back to their hometown by their respective captains after the farewell ceremony.

In the center of the Martyrs Cemetery, there is a huge marble monument with the names of all the martyrs who died in the mission since the formation of the team. Besides the evergreen pines and cypresses in the garden, they were accompanied by the thoughts of the surviving comrades in arms.

The day when the farewell ceremony was held was a cloudy day, and the entire sky was gray and gloomy since the morning.

Thousands of soldiers of the Flying Blade Brigade, all dressed in the most formal military uniforms, appeared uniformly in the Martyrs Cemetery. Because there are too many people, they can only enter the cemetery batch by batch to say goodbye.

However, although there are so many people, no one speaks.

The audience was so quiet that even the rustle of the wind blowing leaves could be heard.

The only thing that was noticeable at the scene were two voices.

One is the neat sound of the soldiers hitting the side of their trousers neatly when they put their hands down when the salute is over.

Second, when the captain personally engraved the name of the martyrs on the monument, the sound of metal and marble collided.

After the twelve soldiers fired their guns to pay tribute to the heroes, Lin Hexiang walked to the monument and then took the microphone passed by the adjutant next to him.

“Some lives are so vivid that it’s hard to imagine that they will end. These people who seldom rest at ordinary times are finally able to rest. Their lives are heavier than Mount Tai, and their departure is real. They are courageous and their Courage deterred the enemy and inspired their compatriots. They guarded the dignity of soldiers. This dignity will not disappear because of national boundaries, and will not be obliterated because of their passing. They possess a series of virtues that bring strength and purpose to the country. As defenders of peace, they have unswervingly kept their promises to the country and people. If one day we forget who we are, if one day we are tired of the cause we pursue, their voice will always be in our ears. As it sounded, their figures are still leading us along this path. And we will keep their will in our hearts, unwavering, and unable to erase it.”

He saluted a standard military salute to the monument, and all the soldiers raised their right hands at the same time to greet the comrades who left before them.

After the soldiers left one after another, Lin Jing stood alone in front of the monument for a long time. He took a cigarette out of his arms, lit it, and then quietly placed it on the steps in front of the monument.

He was usually extremely perceptive, and he didn’t even notice a person standing not far behind him.

After a long time, Qi Yue walked forward slowly when the smoke burned out.

She gently put her hand on Lin Jing’s shoulder: “Go back.”

Lin Jing suddenly said, “I actually don’t like the farewell ceremony.”

Qi Yue suddenly remembered that Lin Jing did not attend Qi Xiang’s farewell ceremony a year and a half ago. He was lying in the hospital at that time, staring at the ceiling in a daze, like a walking dead.

Lin Jing: “I don’t like to hear them say those high-sounding speeches. But today I think one sentence is right.”

Qi Yue looked up at him.

Lin Jing let out a sigh of relief: “People who are alive should bear their will and move forward.”

Qi Yue: “The salvation is passed on from generation to generation, and it is endless.”

Lin Jing turned his head to look at her, smiling: “I am going to be a new member of the Falcon Team Colorless after a while. This pond has been static for too long. It’s time to replenish fresh blood.”

Qi Yue: “You finally figured it out.”

Before, Lin Jing had not recruited new people because of Qi Xiang, so that the Falcon team became the only four-person special operations team in Sharp Blade.

Lin Jing nodded: “Well, let’s go.”

Qi Yue: “Yeah.”

******

The two walked out of the cemetery side by side.

Lin Jing: “Have you had lunch?”

Qi Yue: “I have eaten.”

This question made her a little inexplicable, after all, it was already more than two o’clock in the afternoon. Generally speaking, she eats lunch with the people in the military area hospital. Apart from the operation, she can basically eat on time. When busy, let people bring meals.

Lin Jing: “Oh…but I haven’t eaten it yet.”

Qi Yue understood this time: “Let’s go, let’s accompany Major Lin… Oh no, you should be called Lieutenant Colonel now. Well, it is the duty of the subordinate to accompany the Lieutenant Colonel to dinner.”

This time, because of the successful capture of ‘Y virus research results’ from terrorists, it opened a new chapter for medical progress in China and the world. All important team members who participated in the mission were promoted. Lin Jing was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and Qi Yue was promoted to captain. The members of the Falcon team have even won first-class merit medals.

Lin Jing smiled after listening to her, “I was wrong.”

Qi Yue: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Jing slightly lowered her head towards her, and said in her ear: “It’s not a ‘xiaguan’…It’s the duty of a girlfriend. Of course…”

“If you love the position below, I have no objection. Although I am happy to let you try to be above me occasionally.” The voice that was deliberately suppressed by him has an unexplainable sexy.

Wow this guy is…

After all, Qi Yue’s face was not as thick as someone’s. He was so blushing and speechless that he could only lose the battle in this ‘verbal dispute’.

They walked side by side toward the cafeteria, and the passing soldiers stopped to salute the two, but at the same time, they also showed ambiguous smiles at the two of them. That smile is just like Sima Zhao’s heart, and he almost never wrote ‘When will you two get a good job?’ on his forehead.

Although they didn’t take the initiative to disclose anything, but only a few days after returning from Livia, the matter between the two seemed to spread throughout the Flying Blade Brigade.

“I really underestimated the degree of gossip of these people.” Qi Yue couldn’t help but whispered.

Lin Jing smiled so much, and said nothing.

Qi Yue: “What are you laughing at?” She was so greeted with eyes that made her scalp numb.

Lin Jing shrugged, “I think there is nothing wrong with it.”

Qi Yue: “Aren’t you always low-key?!”

Lin Jing: “Well, this matter can’t be low-key.”

His words were almost equivalent to talking to himself, Qi Yue didn’t hear what he was saying: “What are you talking about?”

Lin Jing smiled and glanced at her: “Nothing.” She didn’t know how attractive she was.

After another journey, Lin Jingzhuang said casually, “After a while, I will submit a transfer report.”

Qi Yue paused at her feet, and stayed in a daze: “You…have you thought about it?”

The bandages on Lin Jing’s eyes had already been removed, and a detailed visual inspection had also been done. His left eye was scratched by previous shrapnel, and his vision dropped by 0.5. For ordinary people, this is just a slight myopia, even if you don’t wear glasses, it doesn’t matter. But as far as special forces are concerned, on the battlefield, such deviations in vision can be fatal.

What’s more, he still plays an important role as the captain of the special forces. One carelessness may cause the entire team to be annihilated.

Lin Jing nodded: “Well, I’ve been sitting in this position for too long. It’s almost time to let Xian.”

Although he told the incident in a relaxed and joking way, Qi Yue knew that his mood at this time was not as relaxed as it seemed on the surface. After all, what he is about to give up is the career he has regarded as his life for the past six or seven years.

Qi Yue sighed, “Have you already been selected for the position of captain?”

Lin Jing: “Well, I plan to let Shan Shijun take over.”

Qi Yue nodded in agreement: “I also think he is very suitable.” Calm and wise mind, the courage to face any situation, and the sniper technique that no one can match… He has a good one. The conditions of the special forces captain.

Qi Yue glanced at Lin Jing: “Then what about you? Which department do you plan to transfer to?”

Lin Jing calmly said, “Command.”

Qi Yue: “Ah…combat commander?”

Lin Jing nodded slightly: “I remember what you said before, how much ability you have to take on how much responsibility. Sitting in that position, every decision will affect the destiny of many people.”

Lin Jing sighed: “This is probably, the so-called, let’s move forward with the will of a comrade-in-arms.”

Qi Yue suddenly took the initiative to hold his hand: “No matter what you decide, I will support you.”

Lin Jing smiled and kneaded Qi Yue’s soft fingers: “Of course, there is another reason for choosing this position.”

Qi Yue: “What’s the reason?”

Lin Jing: “The salary is high.”

Qi Yue: “……………………”

How, simple, and reason. She was speechless.

Lin Jing: “Hey, you don’t have to show such a disgusting expression.”

Qi Yue: “…”

Lin Jing: “I have to plan for our future. I can save enough money for my wife earlier to marry a beautiful wife home!”

Qi Yue was flushed instantly by this unprepared straight ball attack, and his heartbeat missed a beat.

Qi Yue: “You…”

She didn’t know what to say for a while.

What Lin Jing used was not a question, but an affirmative. There is no need for her to answer anything at all, it is arranged directly.

This man seems to have brought the strong and sturdy style on the battlefield all the way to love.

Lin Jing suddenly leaned closer: “Moved? If you are moved, just kiss one.”

As soon as Qi Yue wanted to say something, he saw the two little fighters doing pull-ups in front of him looking eagerly toward this side, with that kind of ambiguous smile on their faces again.

Qi Yue really couldn’t hold her face this time. In broad daylight, what a decent way!

She furiously pushed Lin Jing away: “Fuck you!”
