Mingchao: The Survival Journey of a Comedian

Chapter 75 Please Don't Plant Flowers for Me

The next few months were quite comfortable for this person, who was both a meritorious contributor and had suffered a serious injury, among other advantages—

He can finally give up for a bit.

And he finally got used to the series of effects that came with the doubled perception—he no longer had to almost lose his composure and scream in pain from the slightest touch.

Although he was quite worried at the beginning of his period of giving up: the main attacks had been neutralized, but the small monsters around were still loitering around!

He also had to thank the brothers Nan Chui and Bei Wang for visiting him from time to time and occasionally telling him about the intelligence from the front.

It's like he's done something great again... basically, a whole series of things he wants to hear.

Of course, he declined the invitation again and obediently continued to act as his teacher and guardian.

Honestly, with his small frame, if he were to actually hang out with Geshu, who knows what kind of mess he'd be made of.

Anyway, I won't refuse him in front of him, and given his arrogant personality, he's unlikely to confront me directly.

Just reply randomly, okay?*。 ?(ˊwˋ*)??*。

If he had to pinpoint any other worries... it would be that he could sense Ji Yan avoiding him.

Each visit was made while he was asleep, sneaking in silently to check his injuries, and then leaving quietly after confirming he was alright.

If it weren't for his heightened senses, no one would have imagined that this kid's already awkward personality would become even more awkward.

Sigh...it seems I really need to find some time to talk to that child.

Some things need to be explained to the other party clearly beforehand.

It shouldn't become a thorn in my side.

Furthermore, he still owes the other party an apology.

He also needs to apologize to that person for what he did before.

"Aaaaaah! I don't care, I don't care!"

"I'm being discharged from the hospital today!"

"I've been lying here for months! If I keep lying here, I'll grow mushrooms and show them to you!"

"These test results mean I can take action now... It was so close, wasn't it..."

"It's not like it's you guys..."

"Brother Wunian..." "Mo Wunian..."

It was another day of him stubbornly insisting on being discharged from the hospital. Under the suffocating pressure of his dark, twisted, and python-like constriction, the two people who had been sent to take care of him finally agreed to his request.

He was discharged from the hospital.

"Finally, I can escape the hospital..."

"If I stay here a few more days, I'll start growing mushrooms... And this weather is so cold..."

Is it almost Chinese New Year?

After getting ready, he stepped out the door, only to be instantly hit by a biting chill, causing him to involuntarily gasp. In the end, he said nothing, silently went back inside, put on another layer of clothing, and then stepped back into the wind.

"Yes...you've been bedridden for several months."

"It was almost Chinese New Year... if you had stayed in bed any longer, you would have missed it."

"That's what we considered when we allowed you to be discharged."

"Exactly, exactly, given Wu Nian's personality..."

"I'm still genuinely worried that you might accidentally cause yourself trouble again."

The person accused by both Nan Chui and Bei Wang: Σ(?д?|||)??

"You two are really enough!"

"I want to go back..."

The words he was about to say were instantly cut off. Looking at the street now adorned with lanterns, and then at his meager belongings, he suddenly remembered something very important.

—I don't have a house of my own to live in!

I used to live at Ji Yan's house, but now that things are like this...

The child now avoids him like the plague, so how could he still have the nerve to mooch off other people's homes?

Hotels were all sold out during the Lunar New Year holiday; it was impossible to find one...

Oh no! Is he going to be homeless again?!

Bei Wang also noticed that something was wrong with the other person's mood. Looking at Mo Wunian's somewhat bewildered expression, he suddenly remembered that the other person really did not have a place to stay.

He was well aware of what had happened between Ji Yan and the other party; all he could say was that this master and disciple pair was indeed quite worrisome.

"Hey? Where are we moving these things, Brother Wunian..."

"What happened...?"

"Ouch! Beiwang, why did you suddenly hit me...?"

Bei Wang hurriedly dragged Nan Chui, who hadn't yet grasped the situation, aside, and gave an awkward smile to the person who had finally realized what was happening.

"that……"

"It's nothing, it's my fault."

"I remember that during the Lunar New Year, soldiers were allowed to stay overnight..."

"no!"

He quickly interrupted the other person, looking at the stunned figure, and firmly shook his head:

Who knows if the other person, if left in the military, will abuse their body for other purposes? Their already injured wounds are going to get even worse.

"The accommodations there are not very suitable for someone as seriously injured as you."

"If all else fails, come to me..."

"No need"

"If the teacher is still willing to come to me..."

"I will always have a room reserved for him."

Mo Wunian, who was about to argue with Bei Wang, froze in shock the moment he heard that voice. He blinked in disbelief, then slowly turned his head away.

Below the steps, a figure in blue stood silently watching him, as if traversing countless years for this very moment of reunion.

--------

Ji Yan followed the team, clearing away the remaining debris while simultaneously gathering intelligence.

Although others in the army were trying to persuade him not to blame himself too much, and he hadn't yet told everyone that he was alright, how could he possibly let it go...?

Ever since that person was transferred to the rear, he has been thinking about that person's current situation every moment.

During his breaks between shifts, the first thing he thought of was going to see that person.

But he was truly too cowardly; ever since that person overheard his innermost thoughts, he hadn't dared to speak again.

They didn't even dare to meet the other person while they were awake. Only in the dead of night would they quietly approach and glance at them, confirming that the familiar face was safe and sound before quietly leaving.

He then spent the rest of his time asking the research institute to develop a flower variety for him.

He did not participate in the bell-ringing ceremony after this battle, but although he did not participate, he deeply understood the significance it contained.

If you can't do anything... then it really is meaningless.

"Avoid Flames"

"You haven't been acting right lately..."

"And that child... always sneaking around to see him..."

"Aren't you tired?"

As the Spring Festival draws near, the soldiers returning home late at night finally enjoy their annual leave. Although the recent tragic battle cast a shadow over the New Year, the festive atmosphere of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new gradually dispelled the sorrow in people's hearts, bringing new life and hope to this land.

Ji Yan was naturally sent back home for the New Year as well. After all, he was still just a child, not to mention his guardian was still in the hospital. The responsibility of leaving him behind certainly wouldn't fall on the other person's shoulders.

"Mother...I..."

You can fool them, but you can't fool me.

"I am your mother, the one who watched you grow up."

"If anything really happens... you can definitely share it with me."

"And I can more or less guess why."

Sitting across from her mother, she nervously gripped her hand, hesitant to speak, unsure how to fully share these things with her.

But as it turns out, your mother is your mother, the one who understands you best.

"Ji Yan, you like him, don't you?"

"!!!"

Taken aback by his mother's blunt question, he felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the world was spinning. Even though he knew she was telling the truth, he almost choked.

"Mother...that...I..."

"I know your feelings for him aren't that kind of feelings."

"Can't I tell whether my child likes a lover or a friend?"

"You're almost 11 years old now, which means you're definitely entering puberty... Our family is also quite precocious and open-minded."

I won't stop you.

Seeing his mother's knowing expression, Ji Yan was at a loss for what to do.

Why did my mother accept this precocious and unapproved love so quickly?

Your dad and I were childhood sweethearts.

"I told him I wanted to marry him when I was six years old."

"I don't even consider you a threat..."

"As for why I accepted two men..."

Seeing Ji Yan's expression, so embarrassed that he didn't dare to lift his head after his thoughts had been exposed, Ji's mother felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but sigh silently.

"As your mother, all I want is for you to be happy."

"Gender and age don't matter."

"As long as my family is safe and happy, that's all that matters."

"Mother……"

Ji Yan's mother gazed silently at him, who stood frozen in place. A helpless yet gentle smile played on her lips as she slowly rose to her feet and gently ruffled his hair.

I've heard about what happened between you and him.

In my opinion... you're just too timid.

"No matter what, you must clearly tell the other person what you want to express."

"That child has a very good personality... those words may not have been what the other person meant."

"And if we don't make it clear..."

"Be careful, he might be with someone else next time you see him!"

People like him are very popular.

"!!!"

These words instantly awakened the sense of crisis in someone who was still somewhat oblivious. Although the timid Ji Huohuo had not changed his nature, he had gained his mother's approval and had now transcended his previous state!

"……Thanks"

"We're all family, no need to thank me."

"...I remember that child was very lonely."

Let's bring him over to spend Chinese New Year with us this year.

"The rest depends on whether you can seize the opportunity."

"He's been saying he wants to be discharged from the hospital for a long time... If we don't go soon, someone else might take him away!"

Watching Ji Yan's expression change instantly as he hurriedly walked towards the door, a helpless smile appeared on Ji's mother's lips. She slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on the increasingly festive street outside the window, sighed softly, and shook her head slightly.

"Such a good child...if he is really so lonely..."

"It's such a pity."

--------

Mo Wunian, seeing Ji Yan standing at the bottom of the steps with his gaze never leaving him, almost thought he had mistaken him for someone else. He checked several times before speaking, somewhat shocked.

"Avoid...avoid fire?"

"it's me"

"...Um...did you guarantee it was authentic?"
