The two of them had been busy for quite a while, and the dishes they prepared were plentiful and sumptuous.
There were glistening fish, eggplants, strips of meat, and pancakes, along with vibrant greens, peppers, and tomatoes. All these fresh ingredients combined created a feast for the eyes that was sure to whet anyone's appetite. Especially for Yu Tian, who was nearly drooling at the sight of so many of his favorite foods.
“Goodness! You're an adult, yet you act like a child! Are you that greedy?” Lin teased loudly as she noticed Yu Tian's tongue darting in and out of his mouth.
“Yeah! I think my cooking skills have improved quite a bit! Of course, dear, you’re not too shabby yourself…”
“Hey, hey! You two stop flirting— we’re all hungry!”
The Doctor picked up his chopsticks and led everyone to dig in. Naturally, there was no shortage of alcohol; in addition to the white liquor, there were various specialty drinks. Everyone enjoyed their meal thoroughly when suddenly Yu Tian felt something enter his body, probing his thoughts.
Yu Tian quickly redirected a small amount of energy to seal off that presence.
“Big Brother, it’s me!”
It turned out to be Little Ru.
“How did you get into my head? Didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t go in there?” Yu Tian frowned slightly, which immediately caught everyone’s attention.
“Yu Tian, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing—oh—nothing at all. I just feel like this happiness might be fleeting!” Looking at Dr. S's kind face, Yu Tian noticed the deep lines etched by time.
Dr. S was indeed entering the final stages of life! Yu Tian thought to himself.
“Why are you being so negative? Yu Tian, do you remember how confident and positive you were back in the army? You used to say ‘the whole world is my domain!’ When you chose the name Yu Tian for yourself, wasn’t it to remind yourself to strive toward that dream? So what if happiness is short-lived? You have to fight for your own happiness! At my age, my dreams aren’t confined to that little lab—though it might be quite spacious—but I haven’t given up. I want to achieve my dreams in these last few decades. What about you? Your dreams from back then? You still have plenty of time to work hard…” Dr. S finished speaking and glared at Yu Tian before downing most of his vodka in one gulp.
"Ugh~~ (╯﹏╰)" Yu Tian sighed helplessly, then suddenly smiled, "Yes! I need to fight for my own happiness—Doctor, I also wish for your dreams to come true soon. Just let me know if you need any help!"
As they spoke, the atmosphere became lively again. Yan Ling and one of the Doctor's students seemed to have a good rapport; they started off a bit awkwardly but gradually began to toast and laugh heartily together. The other members of the Anti-Violence Squad and the CRB warriors were chatting as well, seemingly discussing combat techniques, but their laughter suggested they were teasing some female celebrity.
Lin and Yu Tian exchanged glances, smiling at the scene—
Dr. S was sitting next to Yu Tian. He pulled Yu Tian closer and whispered, "Yu Tian, don't you feel that something is off at headquarters?" Ever since Yu Tian returned to Earth with Lin, he had started calling him by his name directly, feeling that this once passionate young man had grown up and could handle it.
"Yes! I've noticed that all the department heads seem quite mysterious, but I can't pinpoint what's strange about it; it just feels off—" Yu Tian's thoughts drifted back to the headquarters building. He still clearly remembered the last warning from the Snow Wolf Warriors.
"Indeed, I feel like something big is about to happen!" Dr. S simply stated before quickly changing the subject. "So, where are you and Lin planning to stay after coming here today?"
"Of course, we're staying here! The environment is so nice, and I'm familiar with it!"
"Then I wish you both a stable life here forever and increasing happiness!" As he spoke, Dr. S raised his glass.
Everyone responded to this gesture with a second round of blessings for the newlyweds.
"Thank you all for coming to what can't really be called a wedding," Yu Tian said as he scanned the faces of his brothers or friends present. "I have a small request—when I'm not around, please take care of Lin!"
"Hey—what nonsense are you talking about on such a joyous day? Really—" Lin seemed a bit upset.
"I'm not saying that! I just mean that there might be times when I have to go out for work, and it wouldn't be convenient for me to bring Lin along, so…" Seeing Lin's displeased expression, Yu Tian quickly explained.
"It's about this—Yu Tian, you have your own dreams that you want to chase alone, but I hope you'll find someone to accompany you. But you're afraid of hurting others, right? When you're not home, you don't need to worry; I'll take good care of her myself. I've always regarded you as my son, and Lin is my daughter-in-law; how could I not help my own? Besides, when you're not home, I can always call someone else to handle things." Dr. S said while gesturing for everyone to eat. He seemed a bit displeased as if he felt Yu Tian didn't trust him.
"Doctor, I didn't mean anything special. I just feel like there's going to be a tough challenge ahead of me that I need to face alone; I don't want to drag Lin into it. It's not that I don't trust you; it's just that it's easier with more people around. You're a busy person too; it's not always appropriate to rely on you!" In truth, while Yu Tian explained this way, he was worried about Dr. S's age and didn't want him to overexert himself.
"Don't worry, everyone! Make sure to eat and drink well today. After we finish, we're having a little dance party on my rooftop, which is all set up! We're just waiting for everyone to finish eating before we have some fun. I know it's hard to find a day to relax these days, so let's take this opportunity to unwind!" Yu Tian stood up and personally filled everyone's glasses to the brim.
"Brother Tian—don't pour so much! Why are you picking on me, a girl? Why don't you pour for Sister Lin instead?" Yan Ling exclaimed as she saw Yu Tian pouring white wine into her already full glass, and she quickly sought help from Lin.
"Alright—I'll drink this wine for you!" With that, Yu Tian raised his glass and gulped it down. After finishing, he put the glass down and noticed everyone had grim expressions. "It's fine—I realize I made a mistake too; consider it self-punishment! Hehe, everyone continue..."
Seeing Yu Tian genuinely smiling, the group quickly relaxed.
"Brother Tian—don't drink too much! If our Good Baby turns into an alcoholic, that wouldn't be good!" Yan Ling shot a strange glance at Lin, causing Lin's face to turn redder than the tomatoes on the plate.
"What are you saying—your grandmother is much quieter than you!"
"Does Brother Tian still remember her? Hehe, Sister Lin can get jealous!"
"I'm not joking with you!" Yu Tian walked away to pour drinks for others.
The group enjoyed their drinks, each taking turns toasting. Yu Tian shared stories about his experiences on various missions or boasted about his achievements, drawing rounds of applause and praise that only fueled his excitement.
Suddenly, he felt a strange energy stirring among the crowd. Although it was faint, Yu Tian sensed it nonetheless.
It seemed someone was hiding their true abilities! What could their purpose be? Yu Tian paused his speech, took a small sip of sobering tea, and pondered.
