The order to leave came suddenly.
Jin Sichen also spent the whole day handing over his work.
Fortunately, his main job at 800 is to take care of Lin Fan's mental state, communicate and learn with local psychologists, and provide some psychological counseling for employees.
But most of the people who actually came to him for consultation were those with minor problems, or those girls who had ulterior motives.
So the handover was not difficult and was completed quickly. However, organizing the books and materials in his office took quite a bit of time.
By the time he had packed his things, it was dark.
He went to Lin Fan's room to look for her and saw that her luggage had already been packed and neatly piled in the corner of the living room.
The dining table, the countertop, and the coffee table were all filled with food, along with a rare beer. Several people were talking animatedly, and Li Chunhua was even dancing.
Apparently, everyone had prepared a farewell dinner. Although the conditions were modest, the atmosphere was exceptionally warm.
"Doctor Jin, come quickly!" Li Chunhua greeted Jin Sichen excitedly when she saw him.
Song Ren had already helped pull out the chair, and Jin Sichen sat down without hesitation. He took the can of beer handed to him by Ji Yu and opened it.
"So lively?" Jin Sichen's face didn't look very good when he saw them in the morning, but now it seems that they have probably completed their self-adjustment.
"Doctor Jin, I really can't bear to leave you!" Li Chunhua screamed with an exaggerated expression.
"You are not reluctant to leave me, you are obviously reluctant to leave Lin Fan." Jin Sichen retorted with a smile.
"Both. I can't bear to leave Lin Fan, and I can't bear to leave you either." Li Chunhua shook her head and nodded.
Although Jin Sichen had his own work and didn't spend as much time with them as Lin Fan did, they lived close to each other, so it was common for them to work out and eat together in the morning and evening.
Except for the Chinese New Year period when Jin Sichen was on a mission, they met almost every day at other times.
Therefore, Li Chunhua was not lying when she said that she was reluctant to part with Jin Sichen.
"If you were a girl and said you couldn't bear to leave me, I could still smile happily. But you, a grown man, said you couldn't bear to leave me, what should I say? I can't bear to leave you either?" Jin Sichen pretended to be distressed.
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed in unison.
"This picture is so beautiful, I dare not look at it." Gao Fei couldn't help laughing.
"So Brother Li, just express your true feelings directly to Sister Lin. Doctor Jin thinks it's too corny." Ji Yu also smiled.
"Oh my, my true feelings..." Li Chunhua covered his chest and acted weird on purpose.
Lin Fan leaned back in his chair and looked at them, and for a moment he really forgot about his sorrow of separation.
That night, they laughed and played, and didn't leave until very late.
In the middle of the night, Ji Yu woke up and found that Song Ren was not in bed.
He looked everywhere and finally saw through the window that Song Ren was sitting on a bench in the flower garden.
Ji Yu watched him sitting there motionless for who knows how long, and finally walked out. "Captain Song."
"Why are you here?" Although Song Ren asked him, his expression remained calm and did not change.
Ji Yu sat next to him and took a look at Lin Fan's dormitory.
The living room was pitch black, and a dim light could be vaguely seen in the air vent on the top of the toilet; that was the bedroom light that was still on.
Ever since Lin Fan started having nightmares, she had gotten into the habit of sleeping with the lights on. Even though she had gotten over the nightmares, she hadn't changed the habit.
"Are you worried about Sister Lin?" Ji Yu asked as he looked at the plants in the flower bed, whose leaves had all fallen off and only branches remained.
In two months, when spring arrives, these flowers and plants will sprout and bloom again, returning to their original colorful appearance.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan wouldn't be around by then. They...would also be gone...
Ji Yu let out a long sigh.
"I can't explain it." Song Ren's voice was very soft. "I was sent here to guard Lin Fan and ensure her safety... Now, she doesn't need my protection anymore. I just want to... guard her one last time..."
In a corner of his heart, Song Ren felt that the chances of Lin Fan returning were slim. He considered tonight his last chance to spend time with him.
Ji Yu glanced at Song Ren.
"Captain Song... do you like Sister Lin?"
After waiting for a long time, Song Ren didn't answer.
Ji Yu didn't ask any more questions.
In the east, the sky gradually brightened. Song Ren stood up and stretched his arms and legs.
"Let's go, Lin Fan is about to wake up."
Ji Yu stomped his frozen feet lightly and followed Song Ren back to the dormitory.
The two of them relaxed for a while, changed their clothes, and washed up. Sure enough, they saw Lin Fan already outside.
"Good morning." Lin Fan greeted them with a smile when he saw Song Ren and Ji Yu coming out.
"Good morning, Sister Lin." Ji Yu glanced at Song Ren, and seeing that he didn't intend to speak, he took the initiative to respond.
"I originally thought I wouldn't get up to exercise today, but then I thought, it's the last day, I should just stick with it until the end." Lin Fan said with a smile, "You never thought I'd be such a hardworking person."
"Yes, yes, you always finish what you start." Jin Sichen also came out of the house, "I also finish what I start. I never finish earlier than you."
"Boss, you got up without calling us!" Li Chunhua's voice rang out from inside the house.
When he and Gao Fei got up, they saw that the upper bunk was empty and heard voices outside the room. He secretly resented the two men for being disloyal and not calling him when they got up.
"Okay, okay, aren't they waiting for us? Hurry up, Brother Li." Gao Fei quickly put on his clothes and comforted Li Chunhua while brushing his teeth.
Soon, everyone gathered in front of the flower garden again.
This morning exercise was particularly long.
They walked out from the dormitory, along the villa area, onto the main road, went to the reserve team's playground, passed the training room, went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, and finally returned to the lounge of the office building.
Everyone acted as if nothing had happened, deliberately avoiding the farewells and talking while eating.
If we were to summarize the days since Lin Fan came to 800, the atmosphere of this breakfast was undoubtedly the most pleasant.
It’s just a pity…
Happy times are always short.
After a leisurely breakfast, the group returned to the dormitory. Lin Fan and Jin Sichen tidied themselves up briefly when they received a notification that the logistics department's vehicle had parked at the intersection.
Lin Fan's clothes, shoes and bags, Jin Sichen's suitcase and books... there were much more things than when they came.
Several people helped carry the luggage to the car.
Lin Fan handed his badge to Song Ren and reminded him, "When you have time, remember to ventilate my room. I left some clothes in the closet. Don't let them get moldy when I come back next time."
800 In the mountains, the air is still relatively humid, and if you don't pay attention, mold will indeed occur.
"I understand." Song Ren looked at her and nodded.
"Don't worry, Lin Fan. I promise that no matter when you come back, this house will be the same as if you had never left." Li Chunhua forced a smile, with a glint in his eyes.
Lin Fan had been feeling quite relieved, but after hearing what Li Chunhua said, she became a little worried again. She then looked at Ji Yu next to her; he was a bit more delicate.
"I will remind Captain Song, don't worry, Sister Lin." Ji Yu smiled softly.
Gao Fei held his mouth shut for a long time, but finally couldn't help but said, "Sister, take care of yourself."
"Yeah, I get it." Lin Fan's smile was a bit forced. Seeing Li Chunhua was about to speak, she quickly stopped her, "Alright, you know I'm most afraid of this. Don't send me off. It makes me sad."
Jin Sichen sighed and pushed Lin Fan into the car. "Don't send her off. She's just going back to the Special Affairs Office, not somewhere else. She won't be wronged."
"We agreed not to see you off. Maybe I'll fly back to see you in a couple of days. You know how fast the 'Star' is..." Lin Fan felt tears were about to come out, and he quickly shrank into the car, not looking at them.
"Okay, that's it. Let's contact each other by phone. We'll leave first." Jin Sichen said quickly and closed the car door.
The four of them stood there, silently watching the car leave their sight, going further and further away...
I hate parting, really.
