Marriage is long and desires are strong

Jiang Wei held his hand, and the two stood in front of the glacial cave, walking inside. Their voices echoed in the cool air: "You also feel insignificant?"

Qin Xiaoye chuckled softly, his steady laughter piercing through the thick ice: "Yes, of course."

"Humans can never conquer nature; they can only coexist peacefully with it and find ways to slip out from the cracks when nature stretches out its merciless hand to survive."

"So when I feel inflated, I go to the sea, to the sky, to these desolate places, to experience the cruelty of nature. That calms me down. I should just remember that I'm a human being."

"I've seen too many people who have become extremely arrogant, from S-level Sentinels to top-level nobles, and they all collapsed overnight."

"Some jumped from the building, some went inside, and some died violently in the street."

Jiang Wei whispered, "When I first met you, I looked up some information about Sentinels."

Indeed, many S-class Sentinels die tragically, become extremely wealthy, but ultimately meet unfortunate ends.

Qin Xiaoye: "Our father talked to me about it."

He was talking about Lu Hui, our father, and it sounded quite natural to him.

Qin Xiaoye: "He is an S-class Sentinel, but there are very few Sentinels like him who retire gracefully at the peak of their careers. Most Sentinels keep pushing forward, giving it their all, and never retreating."

Jiang Wei: "Hmm... so most S-class Sentinels don't have a good ending."

Qin Xiaoye nodded: "Yes."

They walked into the glacial cave. The cave was cold everywhere, but the place where their hands were clasped was extremely warm. Their furry gloves were open, and their hands were clasped together.

Qin Xiaoye: "Your father is an exception. Do you know why?"

Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Because my mother's hand held him."

Qin Xiaoye paused, then smiled: "Yes. Life and death are certainly exciting and exhilarating, and charging forward can continuously expand territory and seize land, but some people, who may seem to stand tall, can't withstand even one failure. Just one mistake, and it's all over."

Jiang Wei asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Clearly, with accumulated experience, it can withstand many failures.

Qin Xiaoye: "Because they see themselves as gods and believe they can win every time, they gamble more and more."

Jiang Wei understood; she was risking her entire fortune every time.

Qin Xiaoye: "Your father said it was because of your mother, your brother, and you that he was able to stop. That was his good fortune."

"This world operates on a balance; where there are sentinels, there will be guides. It's just a pity..."

Jiang Wei: "What's a pity?"

Qin Xiaoye: "Most Sentinels don't understand. They think that force and coercion can bring comfort. In reality, true comfort only happens when both parties are willing and love each other. True comfort comes from a deep bond of souls. Only in this way can Sentinels be kept in the real world, weeding, farming, queuing quietly, and learning not to cut in line."

The glacier's vortex is right before your eyes, swirling in blue, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

Jiang Wei laughed: "Most directors are quite incompetent; could they really handle something this big?"

Apart from Lu Ji, it seems that directors tend to choose to help others but don't pay attention to the benefits.

It makes people think you're useless.

Qin Xiaoye turned his head and looked deeply at Jiang Wei, his eyes gradually drawing her in: "Director Xiang is not weak at all."

"To do what one knows to be impossible, to love the world despite knowing its cruelty—how could that be weak? On the contrary, Director is incredibly strong."

"Great wisdom appears as foolishness, and great skill appears as clumsiness."

Deep within the glacier, the surface is bathed in sunlight, radiating a dazzling light.

The two people stood still.

Qin Xiaoye: "Actually, your brother Lu Ji is very capable."

Jiang Wei looked up at Qin Xiaoye, and it was the first time she had heard Qin Xiaoye speak well of Lu Ji.

Qin Xiaoye held Jiang Wei's hand: "Shall we go back?"

Jiang Wei nodded: "Mm."

Qin Xiaoye: "Lu Ji may not be as physically strong as the Sentinels, but after taking over the Lu family, the best decision he made was to control the livelihood sector through investment. This allowed him to easily find time to visit you while simultaneously managing the Lu family's transformation. The Lu family's transformation was very successful; it was low-key, yet its assets did not shrink."

Jiang Wei exhaled, turning into white mist: "So you two are both mortal enemies and people who admire each other. Then I'm relieved."

Qin Xiaoye laughed: "Don't worry, there won't be a fight."

The two chatted as they walked out of the cave, their feet crunching on the thick snow. As darkness fell, the sky soon filled with stars, clear and bright.

Qin Xiaoye: "You...did you look up any information about Sentinels before?"

Jiang Wei thought for a moment, and the video of how to comfort the sentry flashed before her eyes, uh...

She nodded: "Mm."

Qin Xiaoye smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Wei swallowed and nodded.

Qin Xiaoye: "So you didn't reject me either?"

Jiang Wei: "Uh, speaking of S-class Sentinels... they're excellent in every way, well..."

Qin Xiaoye immediately realized what she was talking about and smiled sweetly, "I think you like this."

Jiang Wei awkwardly turned her head slightly: "I didn't say I didn't like it."

Qin Xiaoye: "Then let's go back..."

Jiang Wei: "You can't eat something you like all the time."

Qin Xiaoye laughed: "Alright then."

"Actually, I wanted to ask you if you were afraid to marry a Sentinel, not if you were afraid to be with me..."

Jiang Wei blushed and said, "Oh."

"I wasn't really scared, Qin Xiaoye. Do you know, no man is more handsome than you? I love your scent too..."

Qin Xiaoye chuckled softly, "Then I'm overthinking it."

The two entered the cabin in the glacier, where warmth immediately enveloped them.

The heat rose and swayed.

Qin Xiaoye: "Where would you like to go next?"

Jiang Wei blinked: "Anyway, it's all in bed no matter where we go."

Qin Xiaoye: "Yeah, I still need to go out for a walk and relax when I have time."

Jiang Wei: "Then let's go to the beach."

Qin Xiaoye: "Yeah, they'll pick us up by plane tomorrow and take us straight to the beach in Hawaii?"

Qin Xiaoye helped Jiang Wei take off her thick clothes, layer by layer.

Jiang Wei stood obediently as he took off his clothes layer by layer, removing several layers in total.

The snow started falling softly again outside. Outside the glacier, the hot springs were steaming, creating a romantic and beautiful scene.

……

Qin Xiaoye and Jiang Wei's honeymoon will last a month. Xiang Dong will deliver documents to Qin Xiaoye for signature once a week and report on the progress of his work.

Qin Xiaoye only works one day a week, which gives Xiang Dong a headache. The Qin boss who used to love work has disappeared and been replaced by a lazy Qin boss who tells him, "There's so much work, just put it off if you can't finish it."

This time, Xiang Dong delivered the documents on the beach in Hawaii.

Qin Xiaoye carefully protected Jiang Wei, holding an umbrella over her: "Would you like me to apply another layer of sunscreen?"

Jiang Wei rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoye: "You really like wiping?"

Qin Xiaoye chuckled softly, "I do like it."

Xiang Dong sighed, yet also felt it was quite wonderful.

Qin Xiaoye lay lazily on the recliner, holding documents and signing them. Xiang Dong reported in a low voice that Qin Xiaoye only selected some key projects to follow up on and canceled the unreasonable ones: "Just keep the important projects to do, so there will be less work."

Xiang Dong recalled his conversation with Dr. Wen.

Wen Zhixu saw Qin Xiaoye's medical examination report, which showed a risk level of 26, and remained silent for a long time.

Xiang Dong initially thought Wen Zhixu was afraid of losing his job and that Qin Xiaoye wouldn't need him anymore, and even made a sarcastic remark.

Wen Zhixu said quietly at the time, "Your work will be much easier from now on."

Xiang Dong: "Why?"

Impossible. How could Qin Xiaoye's work efficiency be so high?

Wen Zhixu tapped the danger level with his finger: "What will happen if the sentry's danger level is too low?"

Xiang Dong is also a sentinel, but his danger level has never dropped that low before, and medication can't control it to that level.

Wen Zhixu: "I'll become lazy."

Xiang Dong: "Huh?"

Wen Zhixu: "If the danger level is too high, it will put the sentry in a state of tension and make him vulnerable to losing control at any time. But if the danger level is too low, the sentry's motivation will decrease."

Xiang Dong slapped his thigh: "No wonder President Qin isn't working overtime anymore."

"So is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Wen Zhixu smiled and asked, "Can you distinguish between good and bad?"

Xiang Dong: "?"

Wearing a white lab coat, Wen Zhixu explained with a cool and patient tone: "Good and bad are dialectical. What is bad for efficiency may be good for the individual. It may be bad in the short term but good in the long term. It depends on what each person wants. What is nectar to one may be poison to another."

Xiang Dong looked at Wen Zhixu thoughtfully: "Why do you look like a proper doctor now?"

Wen Zhixu patiently replied, "I am a legitimate doctor."

Xiang Dong said, "Get lost."

Xiang Dong stood next to Qin Xiaoye, who was lounging in his swim trunks, and whispered, "Okay, Mr. Qin." He took the documents and boarded the plane; he still had to continue his arduous work.

Qin Xiaoye and Jiang Wei's honeymoon included trips to glaciers, islands, Hawaii, forests, and waterfalls.

Qin Xiaoye and Jiang Wei spent a full month on their honeymoon before they were satisfied.

Qin Xiaoye then leisurely boarded a private jet with Jiang Wei and returned to Beijing.

Qin Xiaoye looked completely satisfied; finally, he was satisfied.
