These were all in the past.
Outside the cemetery, Ye Chen stood obediently at the door, listening silently to Lin Xiao's words.
Everyone in the Northern Territory had their own stories.
But no one from the Northern Territory had suffered more than Brother Xiao.
Half an hour later.
Lin Xiao had returned to normal and walked out from inside.
"Brother Xiao."
"Let's go, let's go get some New Year's goods."
The serum had been sent out, the vaccine was being rolled out nationwide, and now many people had recovered from their illnesses, with most places returning to normal life.
They should also start preparing for the New Year's shopping.
At the very least, he hoped to have a good New Year with his family this year.
"Ye Chen, these days, you should either go home to see your family, or find an opportunity to go back to the Northern Territory. If you need annual leave, it can also be approved," Lin Xiao suddenly said. "Ming Yi is cultivating at home, so you can go back too."
"I'll think about it later, Brother Xiao. You still have a lot of troublesome matters that need my help. It wouldn't be good for me to leave now," Ye Chen quickly replied.
"It's precisely because things are too troublesome that you shouldn't be here."
Lin Xiao looked out the window. Although it was snowing heavily, many people were still rushing on the streets, and electric scooters were also carefully speeding through the snow.
It was all life, it was all work.
Sometimes Lin Xiao envied them, these ordinary people and their ordinary lives, who could work hard for their families.
Because their parents were alive, and they had what life should have, at most, they just lacked some luxury items.
Compared to them, he had lost quite a bit.
"Brother Xiao, are you being too formal? We've gone through life and death together for several years, how can we leave just because things are troublesome? The brothers in the Northern Territory are very idle now, no one is causing us trouble, at most it's just some minor matters," Ye Chen immediately said. "Instead of going back, it's best if I help Brother Xiao share some of the burden."
Lin Xiao didn't speak further, he just leaned silently against the car window, lost in thought.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Alright, if you don't go home, you can also spend the New Year at my place."
The soldiers of the Northern Territory basically spent the New Year together in the border regions every year.
They would also prepare New Year's goods and have New Year's Eve dinner.
However, more often than not, they would just eat a few mouthfuls, and before they could even watch the Spring Festival Gala, they would rush out and return to their posts to deal with those guys.
After speaking, Lin Xiao suddenly shook his head and said, "It's probably not going to work for the New Year. Closer to the New Year, you'll either have to go home or stay in the Northern Territory. It won't be a quiet time during the New Year..."
"Yes, it won't be quiet during the New Year... Those damn bastards like to cause trouble during the New Year," Ye Chen said irritably. "When will we ever have a peaceful New Year?"
"Of course, there will be. When you retire, the New Year will naturally be peaceful."
Lin Xiao grinned, "I hope we can retire properly."
Ye Chen suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Lin Xiao twice. Could it be that Brother Xiao was planning to retire?
Then...
He didn't dare to say anything, nor did he continue to guess, keeping everything hidden in his heart.
Even if Brother Xiao was going to retire, he would still defend the Northern Territory.
