Grand Military Court.
Jing Residence.
"The Young Master is back." Seeing Jing Chen approaching in the distance, Song Qi came to meet him.
"Mm." Jing Chen replied with a slight nod, "Where is grandpa?"
Song Qi laughed, "The old man is inside playing chess with Master Mei, they get so engrossed that they can go for three hundred rounds." It had been a while since Master Mei last came, ever since he entrusted the old master’s health to Mu Lin, he rarely visited. But now that he’s finally here, the old master definitely won’t let him leave so soon. Regrettably, Mu Lin isn’t here today,
Song Qi held a considerable liking for Mu Lin.
"Master Mei came?" After uttering those few words, Jing Chen made his way inside.
Song Qi nodded, "He arrived a while ago, mainly to check in on the old master." Specifically to check the old master’s progress in regaining his health.
At that time, the lady Master Mei was all smiles, as if Mu Lin was her own granddaughter, she radiated pride.
Walking into the room, the two old masters were engaged in a fierce game of chess, enjoying every moment. Jing Chen thought, now that grandpa isn’t able to go onto the battlefield, he’s shifted his battlefield to the chessboard instead.
"Grandpa."
Hearing that voice, the old master turned around to look at Jing Chen, "Xiaochen is back." Jing Chen nodded and sat down next to them.
A round of chess ended, and both old men turned around.
"Has your injury gotten a little better?" The old master looked at Jing Chen with a touch of concern.
"It’s all fine now." Jing Chen knew the old master was referring not to his physical wound, but his emotional wound.
"So fast!" This surprised the old master. He was very understanding of his own grandson. Outsiders always thought that this child had a cold heart, but only their family knew that this kid had deep feelings.
Even though he wasn’t in the military camp anymore, he didn’t lose touch. He would easily hear about the big and small things happening there. He heard this child had gone missing a few days ago. Could he really have recovered so quickly?
"What happened in the meantime? Tell me." Some incident must have happened; otherwise, he wouldn’t have recovered this fast.
Although Jing Chen’s face still showed no expression, but the old master was insightful and could make out something from his eyes.
As expected.
The next moment, the old master saw a fleeting smile on his grandchild’s face.
"That afternoon, Linlin stayed with me the whole time." Actually, Mu Lin was mostly sleeping, and he... seemed to be bothering Qiaozi; he thought, best to let bygones be bygones.
"Linlin." When he heard Jing Chen’s address, the old master and Master Mei glanced at each other. They could understand quite clearly what was going on, "Finally, this child has learned." The old master’s face was covered in a blooming smile.
Jing Chen knitted his eyebrows.
"Don’t look at your grandpa like that." The old master shot a glare at him, "I’m telling you, if you let that Mu girl slip away, I won’t forgive you." Jing Chen had shown partial understanding before, but his current look suggested full understanding.
Jing Chen nodded, "Grandpa, don’t worry, she’s mine."
The old master nodded with satisfaction. This is the grandson of the Jing family. Whether on the battlefield or in love, he should always be this confident and domineering.
However, the old master did notice something. Mu Lin treated his grandchild differently. This girl differed from his grandchild. She appeared warm on the outside, but her heart was incredibly cold. When the boy from the Zhang family was hanging by a thread, she remained unperturbed, even discussing business as usual. Maybe it shows confidence; however, it still revealed that to Mu Lin, human life perhaps means nothing.

Or perhaps, unless you have caught her eye, to her, everything else can be ignored.
For this reason, Jing Chen’s situation was unbeknownst to everybody, even his own grandson had no idea where he was. However, Mu Lin knew and even managed to spend time by his side. It implies that Jing Chen holds unusual significance in her eyes.
The old master felt very satisfied with this.
...
"How is Mu girl getting along in the army?" Master Mei asked Jing Chen.
So far, he hasn’t seen her for at least a month, and he kind of misses her. He heard she returned to the hospital briefly and was disappointed that he hadn’t had a chance to see her.
