John Woo had a good year.
Perhaps because of Lin Fan's return, he was in a particularly good mood, and everything seemed to make him happy. Even the gossips about marriage urging him to get married didn't bother him as much as before.
John Woo is already 38 years old this year, so his family is naturally urging him to get married.
But Wu's parents were relatively open-minded. The way they named him suggested that Kendai was one of those people who kept up with the latest trends and had open minds.
Out of respect for their son, or perhaps trust, the two felt sorry that John Woo had not yet gotten married, but they did not urge him too much.
They have seen too much and are urged to get married, but as a result, their lives are a mess.
There are so many that it is simply too numerous to mention.
In addition, John Woo always appeared to be wealthy and happy, always smiling, so his father and mother thought that it was not bad to be happy like this.
It's fate, what's meant to happen can't be avoided. It's better than forcing it.
Compared to an unknown, imaginary happy life, it is more important to live happily in the present.
As for the urgings from his relatives and neighbors, John Woo always responded with a smile on his face, but then turned around and ignored them.
What does their life have to do with me?
But are you saying that John Woo has no desire for love and doesn't want to get married?
That’s not the case.
Young John Woo had been in love before, and for a while he longed for his own family.
But for various reasons, several relationships did not last.
Later, during a mission, one of his team members died in the line of duty.
Although a special person was assigned to handle the matter, he felt bad and went to attend the funeral of that colleague.
He saw the other person's parents slumped in their chairs, heartbroken. The young widow stood by, silently weeping, the baby in her arms crying loudly, as if she knew her father was gone...
At that moment, he suddenly had the idea of not getting married.
Of course, the special office has good treatment and high pensions, but no matter how good the financial compensation is, it cannot make up for the loss caused by leaving.
His wife and child were destined to endure all the unexpected events and shocks of life in this world with their fragile and tender bodies. The barrier that had protected them from the wind and rain... was gone forever.
If it is unavoidable for parents to lose their children, then is it possible to avoid a wife losing her husband and a child losing their father?
If you didn't have it in the first place, would you not feel the pain of losing it?
In the first two years after joining the Special Affairs Bureau, he didn't understand why many of his colleagues chose to be alone. Some of them even chose to play around and have affairs but did not get married and have children.
He is obviously a person of excellent moral character in all aspects, but he insists on having such a moral flaw.
But everyone seems to be used to it.
It wasn't until he had a similar thought that he finally understood.
As long as he doesn't get married, there will never be a scene where his wife and children stand and cry at his funeral...
Although getting married and having children can be a continuation of life, the person John Woo will marry must be the one he truly loves.
He didn't want to, and couldn't bear to let his lover endure the pain of separation between life and death, nor did he want his children to grow up in an environment without a father.
So... I can only feel sorry for my parents...
Wu Yusen knew that he had fallen into a morbid mindset, but this morbid mindset became more and more solid as the number of casualties among his colleagues increased.
The casualty rate of the special affairs office is really too high.
It is said that among the members of the same batch as Zhu Cunjun, he is now the only one who still has all his limbs intact in the Special Affairs Office.
Occasionally, when he saw the happy scenes of other families of three, his heart would soften. And once a glimmer of hope emerged, the crying faces of those widows would immediately appear in his mind...
Therefore, John Woo had no choice but to be cruel and choose to let his parents down.
Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Wu are open-minded and don't care about this matter as much as other families. They don't worry about it every day and it affects their normal life.
As they say, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Just live your life well and understand it. How can everything go as you wish?"
Seeing that his parents were not too anxious or angry about this matter, John Woo felt relieved and became more determined in his decision.
And, on the other hand, he felt that women as creatures were quite incomprehensible.
He was a good person before the relationship, but once the relationship was established, he immediately became a different person.
Not only did his intelligence and EQ drop suddenly, but he also became clingy and hard to understand. He got angry easily and didn't say it clearly, forcing him to guess.
How could he guess?
She was dumped not long after because he didn't understand her.
John Woo is baffling.
If he doesn't understand, she can tell him. If she doesn't, she can expect others to understand everything. He is not a worm in the stomach.
Later he had two more girlfriends, but they were all similar. Plus he didn't have much time to spend with them, so they eventually broke up.
John Woo was confused and no longer had the patience to serve.
With this time, he could have done a full maintenance on his Prado.
So even if a girl took the initiative to show her interest in him later, John Woo would never develop the relationship further and would only maintain an ordinary relationship.
Women... are so hard to understand.
Anyway, to sum up the various reasons mentioned above, John Woo is now happily single.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the happy bachelor received a call from Xue Ping.
"Wow, congratulations. You are so busy at the beginning of the new year. You are going to make a fortune this year!" John Woo knew that Xue Ping was still in Sichuan Province and never returned to the Special Affairs Office.
"Same deal, same deal, hahaha..." This wasn't the first time Xue Ping had worked overtime during the Lunar New Year holiday, so he chatted with Wu Yusen as usual. "I heard you asked Lin Fan to leave? You finally got what you wanted, right?"
"TOEFL TOEFL, hahahaha..." Wu Yusen couldn't help laughing for a while before speaking, "Did something happen to you over there?"
People like them rarely make a special phone call to their colleagues to wish them a happy new year.
If someone calls, there must be something wrong; if there is no news, everything is fine.
But Xue Ping sounded relaxed, so it probably wasn't an urgent matter, Wu Yusen thought.
"What could possibly happen to me?" Xue Ping put his legs on the table. "It's just an underground palace. The structure is a bit complicated, but it's nothing for me."
"Oh, I get it. It's going to take quite some time." Wu Yusen laughed. "I thought you wanted to ask me for help."
"That's not the case," Xue Pingyang lazily slumped in his chair, "but there's a piece of news I think I should let you know."
"What?" John Woo walked to the corner of the balcony and asked his parents busy in the kitchen.
"Didn't Lin Fan catch something down there before? It was green..." Xue Ping said.
"Is there something wrong with that thing?" Wu Yusen frowned slightly. After returning, he didn't find anything unusual about Lin Fan.
"You can't say there's a problem, right?" Xue Ping scratched his head with one hand. It was so itchy. He hadn't showered in a few days. "That thing itself has no toxic side effects, otherwise I would have informed you a long time ago."
Xue Ping brought the waterproof bag up from below himself, and immediately sent the things to the special affairs office.
While Lin Fan and the others were still flying in the sky, the things had already arrived at the equipment department of the Special Affairs Office.
A series of basic tests showed no problems, but nothing was found to be of any use, so I put it in the showroom and plan to wait until after the New Year to see what happens next.
"So what are you going to say now?" Knowing that there was no danger, John Woo's brow relaxed.
"It was Quan Yingdong. He called me and said that his ancestor had come here and recognized this thing. I thought I should tell you." Xue Ping also received a call from someone suddenly. Thinking that Lin Fan had come into contact with it, he should tell you.
But he didn't have Lin Fan's contact information, so he could only call John Woo.
"Your Excellency?" John Woo narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn't seen this person for a long time, and he suddenly came back at this time.
"Yes, that's the one," Xue Ping replied. "Quan Yingdong said that when His Excellency returned, he passed by the showroom and spotted Yan Jing. He told me since I'm the one in charge."
"What is that?" John Woo had no recollection of this name.
"Have you ever heard of the Elixir of Life?"
Oh, here comes John Woo. Does anyone remember Xue Ping, who was still toiling away in the cave during Chinese New Year?
Yesterday, my ranking dropped to 414 again. Apparently, there have been more recommendations and comments in the past two days, so why has my ranking dropped even more? Guess I'm done with this month's bonus. Well, this month's earnings should be enough to cover my utilities. Haha.
But you still need to vote, just in case I turn the tables, haha.
So, where did you see my book?
I can't even find my book myself, except for the limited free edition where it was prominently displayed. Where did you find it?
Vote, interact, don't hesitate. Come on.
