The Bravest

At the Concession Racecourse, the horse racing was still going on when Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan arrived.

"Honey, I told you the red horse was the fastest, but you didn't believe me. You lost again, and it's fifty dollars." Sun Yuelan blamed Lin Jie for losing the horse race. Lin Jie clearly said he bought the red horse number three, but Sun Yuelan insisted that the white horse number six looked good. Now she refuses to admit her loss.

"Oh, oh, okay, my eyesight is not good, I'll listen to you next time."

"That's better. You should buy number 15 for this game. Your dark horse is so handsome and smooth, it will definitely win. Go and buy 50 yuan, but don't buy more, just a small bet will be fine." Sun Yuelan had a lot of fun, but the money-loving boy felt a little sad because he lost a game.

"Number 15, number 15, come on!" As soon as the game started, Sun Yuelan on the sidelines began shouting and cheering for the horse on which he had bet fifty yuan, as happy as a child.

"Hubby, please help cheer us up. Come on, shout together."

"Oh, number 15, number 15. Hey, look, we're ahead, come on!" Lin Jie also shouted madly along with Sun Yuelan. He didn't know how long it had been since he had vented like this.

"Ah, ah, we won, haha. Honey, we won, we made money this time. Do you want to place another bet?" Sun Yuelan jumped up happily and lay on Lin Jie's back.

"That's it. This is the last game today. We'll come again next time. Come down and redeem your prize money first." Lin Jie said regretfully, he was also very excited.

"I won't get off, you carry me!" Sun Yuelan started to act like a spoiled child, holding Lin Jie's neck tightly with both hands.

"If you don't want to come down, then don't come down. Loosen your grip a little or you'll strangle me to death."

"Don't loosen it, it will fall down if you loosen it!" Sun Yuelan still loosened it a little, just a little bit.

"Is this okay? You won't fall down. Loosen it a little more!" Lin Jie hugged Sun Yuelan's legs with both hands and lifted them up a little.

"That's good enough. Go and cash in your winnings. It should be over 300 yuan. We've made money."

The two of them argued for a while, and finally when they reached the prize redemption counter, Sun Yuelan was willing to come down.

"It's over so early, where are we going now?" Sun Yuelan was a little unsatisfied.

"Let's go to the Huangpu River to watch the sunset. Don't you want to go?"

"Go, hurry up, hurry up"

……

On the Bund, by the Huangpu River, on a sightseeing bench, two people sat close together. Lin Jie put his arm around Sun Yuelan's shoulders, and Sun Yuelan leaned in Lin Jie's arms, just quietly looking at the sun in the distance that was already half gone, the sky was a fiery red, until the sun disappeared in the sky, leaving behind a fiery cloud.

"It's so beautiful..." Sun Yuelan murmured, "It's a pity that it will be gone soon."

"It will come out again tomorrow."

"Really? Will we have a tomorrow then?"

"There will be."

"Husband, I'm scared of what you are doing now. Can you please stop doing it?" Sun Yuelan suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Jie seriously, her eyes full of worry.

……

"You know!" Lin Jie waited for a long time before answering.

"Okay, I understand. Can you please stop doing it?" Sun Yuelan asked again.

"No, this is my country. We have to do something. Don't worry, it will be over soon. We will have a tomorrow." Lin Jie calmly rejected Sun Yuelan's request, but hugged her tighter.

"Well, then you guys just be careful, I think our family is fine."

"Yuelan, thank you."

"Who told you to be my husband? If something happens to you, you'll lose your home. I lost my home when I was fifteen. Although my brother was very good to me, it was not a real home after all. Now I have my own home, and I won't destroy it. Do you believe me, husband?"

"I believe it." Lin Jie said with certainty. He had doubted, been on guard, and even counter-surveilled before, but slowly he came to believe it. At least Lin Jie believed that Sun Yuelan had him in her heart. Lin Jie could also feel Sun Yuelan's dependence on him, which was stronger than Ye Wulian and Haitang. Maybe it was because Lin Jie gave her a home. Or maybe she was not relying on Lin Jie, but on a home.

"Hubby, you're so nice. It would be better if you were alone, you know? I thought about asking them to leave or disappear, but I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't do it. Don't you think I'm a terrible person?"

"You won't." Lin Jie said confidently.

"How do you know I can't? It's no big deal if I kill them for stealing men from me. It's not like I haven't killed anyone before. I'm an excellent agent, a Japanese agent. It's not too difficult for me to get the kind of thing that Wu Sibao eats." Sun Yuelan left Lin Jie's arms, sat up straight and stared into Lin Jie's eyes, her eyes full of murderous intent.

"Stop pretending. You are a kind person. You have to pretend to be fierce. You are not cute at all." Lin Jie stretched out his hand and wanted to scratch Sun Yuelan's nose, but she dodged.

"Ah, don't move. I'm telling you, I'm a ruthless spy. If you treat me badly one day, I'll take care of you too."

"You are like a quarrelsome child now, and you are so cruel and ruthless." Lin Jie pulled Sun Yuelan back into his arms and stroked her soft hair.

"Tsk, you speak as if you know me very well." Sun Yuelan said stubbornly, but her body did not resist. She even took the initiative to get into Lin Jie's arms, holding Lin Jie's waist with both hands, looking up at Lin Jie and asking, "If Ye Wulian wants to kill me, will you help her or me?"

"Why do you think so? No way." Lin Jie felt a little guilty. Ye Wulian had really had such an idea. Lin Jie also knew that Sun Yuelan was not lying. These two women were not ordinary people.

"Tsk, after she knew I was going to marry you, she wanted to kill me the first time she saw me. Do you think I can't tell, husband? Is she from the Military Control Commission or the Red Party?" Sun Yuelan asked curiously.

"What's the difference? We are all Chinese, including you." Lin Jie's ambiguous answer made Sun Yuelan not satisfied at all.

"Humph, forget it. Tell her to be careful and don't let anything happen that will implicate us. Honey, I've wanted to ask you a question for a long time. She didn't even consummate the marriage with you, so why did you let her drag you into this?"

"Ahem, why are you asking this? Today we are just the two of us, don't talk about other people's good or bad things."

"Forget it! You must be a loser, selling yourself out before you even get to eat the meat. If I hadn't shown up, she might not even let you go to bed with her now. You're such a big fool." Sun Yuelan said as she reached her little hand into Lin Jie's clothes and twisted his waist hard.

"Ah, ah, be gentle."

"You idiot, you're helping her even though she's been sold out. You haven't answered whether you're helping her or me. I'm so pissed."

"Hehe, how can I be stupid? I have three wives, all of them are young and beautiful." Lin Jie said proudly, and bent down to give Sun Yuelan a big kiss on the face.

"Oh, it's killing me. It's broad daylight and there are people over there." Sun Yuelan wiped the saliva from her face with her hand in disgust, and twisted Lin Jie's waist again, but this time she didn't dare to use force.

"In the morning, isn't it also broad daylight? Some people are even more excessive, and they are almost tiring me to death." Lin Jie whispered into Sun Yuelan's ear. The hot air he exhaled sprayed on Sun Yuelan's ears, and when she remembered that she had taken the initiative to start the fight in the morning, Sun Yuelan shyly buried her face in Lin Jie's chest, forgetting to ask Lin Jie to answer the question of who he was helping, perhaps she knew that Lin Jie didn't have an answer.

Lin Jie smiled triumphantly.
