Chapter 1873: Unique Form of Tenderness

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Yi ignored Song Jininin and called the members of Team i.

Two hours later, everyone gathered at the airport and flew to Doora.

However, Song Jinmin did not follow them. He took a plane and left alone.

More than seven hours later, the plane landed at the airport in Doora.

As soon as he got off the plane, a familiar feeling enveloped Lin Yi.

This scene reminded Lin Yi of the time when Ji Qingyan came to Doora.

He could still clearly remember Ji Qingyan wearing a floral dress, sunglasses, and lace-up sandals. She looked as elegant as a celebrity who had come here to shoot an advertisement.

There was also that familiar LV store. Ji Qingyan wandered around it for a while, but in the end, she did not buy anything.

Only the Christmas tree in the middle of the mall was gone. The person accompanying him was no longer the smiling and arrogant woman from before “Brother Lin, why are you still in a daze? Let’s go.” Xiao Bing, who was walking in front of him, turned around and said.

“It’s fine. You guys go ahead first.”

Lin Yi followed them out.

Whether by coincidence or fate, when they arrived in Doora, the group checked into their usual hotel, the Sailboat Hotel, where he had stayed before.

Everything here was very familiar to him.

Ring ring ring!

Everyone had just settled down at the hotel when they received a call from Lu Beichen.

“You should be in Doora by now.”

“You even know about that?”

“So many people left with you. How could I not know?” Lu Beichen chuckled over the phone.

“From your tone, I don’t think you’ll care about this anymore.”

“Of course not.” Lu Beichen said.

“The Central Guards Brigade is that kind of place. You have to take revenge. Moreover, you personally arranged this. I’m relieved. Just treat it as training with Team 1.”

“Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“The Central Guards Brigade is different from other organizations. Just don’t expose your identity.” Lu Beichen said.

“This is the only request I have for you. Do it well.”

“Understood.”

“I won’t say anything else. Make your own arrangements. Be careful and come back early.”

“Okay.”

Not long after he hung up, the others gathered.

“Brother Lin, when are we leaving?” Yu Siying asked.

“Don’t be anxious. We’ve been on the plane for so long. Let’s rest first. I’ll inform you when we set off.” Lin Yi looked at his watch.

“If you have nothing to do, you can look around.”

“It’s already nighttime. Let’s go out and eat something,” Xiao Bing said.

“I won’t eat with you. You guys go ahead.”

With that, Lin Yi silently walked out of the room and didn’t arrange anything else.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong with Lin Yi.

“Alright, don’t bother about him,” Ning Che said. “Let’s go eat first, then I’ll take you guys shopping.”

It was already past seven in the evening. Nightlife in Doora had just begun.

Lin Yi took a taxi and arrived at the port of Doora.

Then, he booked a helicopter and flew towards the sea.

About an hour later, the helicopter landed on an island.

Beside the tarmac stood a small sign with the words “Ji Qingyan” written on it.

The past surged into his mind like a tide.

What had happened on Christmas that day felt as it had happened yesterday. It was unforgettable.

The island was dark, a stark contrast to the bright lights of that day. It was like an abandoned island.

The past was sealed here.

Step by step, Lin Yi walked towards the villa ahead.

There was only a shallow layer of water left in the fountain. Below it was mud and fallen leaves, making it look slightly dilapidated.

Lin Yi reached out and used his fingerprint to open the door, but he didn’t turn on the light.

Moonlight shone in from the outside. Beams of light illuminated the area ahead.

Dust filled the air in the light beam. Every speck seemed to be a light spot engraved with memories, pulling Lin Yi’s thoughts back to that unforgettable night.

Walking up the stairs, Lin Yi walked around every room.

Back then, when she first arrived here, she had visited every single room.

Her scent seemed to permeate every corner of the villa.

Finally, Lin Yi went to the master bedroom.

Moonlight shone through a gap in the curtains. That night, the two of them rested here.

Gently, Lin Yi’s fingers brushed across the soft bed as if she was still beside him.

Whoosh!

Lin Yi took a deep breath and suppressed all his memories. Then, he walked downstairs.

People couldn’t always live in their memories. Some things needed to be faced in person.

He had to face it.

It was quiet as Lin Yi walked downstairs.

He had come here today to take a look. Now that he was done, it was time to go back.

But just as he was about to go back, Lin Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His emotions, which had just calmed down, surged again like a storm, engulfing him like waves!

Lin Yi saw a photo frame on the cabinet beside the sofa. It wasn’t big, about half the size of an AZ, paper. It stood there quietly.

The photo on it was a photo of the two of them!

To be more precise, it was a photo of himself and Ji Qingyan!

Lin Yi remembered very clearly that it was a photo he had taken with her at home. It was very homely.

She sat on the sofa and she was in his arms. Her beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescents, and her smile was sweeter than honey.

However, this photo made Lin Yi unable to move.

When he first came here, he wanted to give her a surprise, so she didn’t prepare anything and followed him here empty-handed.

It was impossible to place the photos.

Ever since then, the two of them had returned to Zhonghai and never came here again.

But now, there was a photo of the two of them.

This meant that Ji Qingyan had most likely been here since then!

Then, she had placed their photo here!

However, they had been separated for a long time.This meant that during the time when everything went wrong, Ji Qingyan had come here and left a photo behind.

As Lin Yi suspected, upon hearing the news of his death, Ji Qingyan had dropped everything.

The day before, accompanied by Qin Yingyue, she had quietly come to Doora.

She discreetly left a photo of the two of them in the villa.

To her, this island felt like a grave, and the photo symbolized their past together.

In that moment, she buried all their memories on this island.

This gesture was Ji Qingyan’s unique form of tenderness.
