Looking at Hu Fei's grief-stricken expression.
Lin Li was briefly a little confused.
What the hell, why is there cuckoldry here too?
He had only been gone for two months, and his home had been stolen?
Wait, who was the sister-in-law again?
Beautiful Lady?
Oh, then it was fine.
Shi Dongchen, you were truly starving. You could even stomach that? You were going to succeed at anything you did in the future.
Lin Li searched through his memories. The last time he had left, in order to complete the mission—"Make Beautiful Lady sleep soundly"—he had laid Beautiful Lady flat in a room Shi Dongchen had cleared out for him in the shelter. After arranging her into a sleeping position, he had used clothes as kindling and set her on fire.
Once the "sleep soundly" requirement had been fulfilled, he had covered Beautiful Lady with a blanket and extinguished the sparks on her body to prevent a shelter fire, then left.
His heart as cold and hard as iron, he never looked back.
He had even told Shi Dongchen that they could do whatever they wanted with that room. He no longer needed it.
Considering that there was something slightly wrong with Hu Fei's brain, this so-called "taking over the sister-in-law" was probably some kind of misunderstanding.
Dodging Hu Fei's attempt to hug his thigh and cry again, Lin Li stored the mech back into the system and asked, "Hu Fei, how long have I been gone?"
Hu Fei said, "Big brother, my name isn't Hu Fei. It's Hu Xiao Jing."
"They're all the same." Lin Li waved a hand. "So how long have I been gone?"
"Decades, Big Brother TAT!!" Hu Fei choked up again. "I've already eaten all the chocolate bars you gave me..."
Lin Li: "(;゜○゜)?"
"No, wait.
