After Mother Lin's decisive words rang in our ears, my heart suddenly sank. I didn't expect that Mother Lin still rejected me. I really don't know how I fell short of her.
Lin Wei was also anxious and said quickly: "Mom, why don't you agree? I really like Ye Yan and can't live without him."
"Aunt Lin, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. If there is anything else I haven't done well, I will do my best to correct it." I said seriously.
"To be honest, I didn't find anything wrong with you. The only problem is that your job is too dangerous." Mother Lin shook her head and said, "I'm not cursing you, but I don't want my daughter to face the possibility of The risk of being alone for the rest of your life.”
When Mother Lin said this, I understood why she refused. Obviously the dangerous experiences I just mentioned had frightened Mother Lin.
It's not that she can't understand it. As a mother, she naturally has to consider her daughter's safety.
"Unless you agree to give up this job, I don't think you can bring safety to Lin Wei. Can you do it?" Mother Lin asked.
After listening to Mother Lin's words, I suddenly fell silent. My profession is indeed dangerous. I can't refute this. Even I am not sure whether I will die one day in the future.
"Mom, you can't just give up this job, and if you give up, there will be no source of income." Lin Wei said.
"Then I don't care. Anyway, this business is too dangerous, and you are not allowed to take on those dangerous tasks." Mother Lin said sternly.
"Aunt Lin, with all due respect, I can't promise you this."
I shook my head and said slowly: "I'm not a righteous person, so I won't say such big words as to maintain social order, but my experience in the past year has made me sum up an experience."
"What experience?" Mother Lin frowned.
"Danger will never let you go mercifully just because you don't take the initiative to find it. The danger that should come will come sooner or later. I hope that in the future I will have the strength to protect myself and the people around me, instead of risking my own destiny with My safety rests with others,” I replied.
Mother Lin knew too little and had never experienced life or death crises. She didn't know the dangers of ghost masters and ghost slaves, let alone the threat that future evil spirits would pose.
Of course, this was also because I didn't mention the matter of the wraith, because I didn't want her to panic.
She didn't know about these potential threats, but I knew about them, so it was impossible for me to leave the Empire.
Because leaving the empire means losing resources and opportunities, and losing the possibility of becoming stronger.
If the evil spirits really invade in the future, I hope that I can become a hero who protects my friends, family and people, rather than the one who needs protection.
Destiny is always in your own hands!
Seeing my refusal, Mother Lin looked disappointed, shook her head and said, "If that's the case, then I can't agree to your dating Lin Wei. I have to think about my daughter's safety..."
"Confused!"
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, a powerful voice sounded from the back room. Then we saw the door of a bedroom in the back room open from the inside, and an old man with gray hair but full of energy walked out. .
"Dad, why are you out?" Upon seeing this, Mother Lin stood up immediately and said quickly.
"You are confused. The two of them have experienced countless lives and deaths together, and they have long been inseparable. You are trying to beat a mandarin duck!" the old man said angrily.
"Dad, did you hear everything?" Mother Lin said in shock.
"The patrols came outside just now. It's hard for me not to pay attention to such a big movement. I can hear what you said clearly in the house!" the old man said angrily.
Having said this, the old man paused, looked at me kindly, and said with a smile: "You're a good young man, what's your name?"
"Hello, grandpa. My name is Ye Yan, and I am Lin Wei's boyfriend." I stood up quickly, opened my mouth and called grandpa. Nonsense, isn't Lin Wei's grandpa my grandpa!
Obviously, grandpa is on my side. How can I not hug such a thick thigh now?
"..."
Hearing this, Mother Lin almost fell to the ground. She didn't expect that this young man was so shameless that he started acknowledging his relationship.
Is it possible that my daughter likes such a thick-skinned boy?
Grandpa Lin Wei smiled and said, "You are really good at being able to do things for the country and the people and having the courage to face danger."
"Grandpa, this is what I should do."
I said humbly: "But don't worry, I have no other advantages, except that I am lucky and will not die so easily, and I will definitely protect Lin Wei.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't open your mouth and talk about death." Lin Wei's grandpa said cheerfully, then looked at Lin's mother and scolded: "Can you hope that your son-in-law will be better? Can't he use his strength to protect Lin Wei? Can’t you stop talking about death all the time?”
"Dad, I'm worried too. Ye Yan's job is indeed too dangerous. I'm really worried that Lin Wei will die alone..." Mother Lin said helplessly.
I was so angry after hearing what Mother Lin said. Although she didn't say it directly, the implication was that I was prone to burping at work.
"Okay, stop saying these unlucky words." Grandpa Lin Wei said with a smile: "I think they are getting along well as a young couple, so don't cause trouble."
As soon as Grandpa Lin Wei opened his mouth, Mother Lin stopped talking. I don't know if she acquiesced in my relationship with Lin Wei, but she didn't refuse anymore.
This made Lin Wei and I extremely happy. Lin Wei said happily: "Grandpa, you promised that we would be together, right?"
"It's okay if I don't agree. My granddaughter chose him, so I can only say that this boy is lucky." Grandpa smiled and touched Lin Wei's hair, saying dotingly.
Hearing this, I also looked happy. Mother Lin obviously listened to Grandpa Lin Wei, so as long as I can win Grandpa's favor, then this matter will be settled.
"Dad, do you believe the things Ye Yan said about ghosts and gods?" Mother Lin asked.
"Believe it or not. We older generations have heard this kind of thing a lot. Some of the rumors may not be groundless." Grandpa Lin Wei said.
My grandfather's words made me think for a while. There are many rumors about ghosts and gods passed down from ancient times, such as books like "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "The Romance of the Gods". Could it be that these are not completely imaginary?
After all, the fact that we have cultivators in modern times does not mean that there were no cultivators in ancient times. Similarly, there must have been souls in ancient times, which are commonly known as ghosts.
Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that many books and various legends and rumors about this matter may be true as my grandfather said, and they are not completely groundless.
After chatting with Grandpa Lin Wei for a while, I suddenly found that I was very compatible with this old man who was twice my age. He was such an open-minded old man. He didn’t mind at all that Lin Wei and I fell in love in this grade.
With my grandpa's intervention, Mother Lin finally recognized the relationship between Lin Wei and I. It can be said that everyone ended up happy. Our trip was not in vain!
