Chapter 78: Telepathy

Xia Mi hurried upstairs, thinking about Shen Zhihui's business. After thinking for a while, she could only wish him good luck.

Due to her status as a military dependent, Xia Mi couldn't intervene too much, for fear of dragging down Huo Jingchen.

She still had to wait until it was completely safe before doing this.

Xia Mi was thinking, completely losing sleep, staring blankly at the moldy ceiling. -Wind Chasing Island.

Huo Jingchen closed the office door only after he finished his work and prepared to go to the dock to pick up Xia Mi.

Comrades from the communications company came to deliver a letter.

"Captain Huo, here is a letter for you. It's from Suzhou. It should be sent from your sister-in-law's family, right?"

"Suzhou?" Huo Jingchen's eyes fell on the envelope. The moment he saw that the sender was Sang Qi, he said, "I know."

Huo Jingchen put the letter in his pocket, took a step forward, and was determined to pick someone up.

When he arrived on his bike, the boat Xia Mi was on had just docked.

Xia Mi can be seen at a glance on the noisy dock. She is wearing a red and white checkered jacket, which is very eye-catching. Her pants are altered black straight-leg style trousers.

She is used to tying her hair into a fluffy side ponytail. When the sea breeze blows, her hair flutters in the wind, and her porcelain-white skin looks even whiter against the red background.

"Sister-in-law, please support me."

After riding on several boats, Xia Mi was still afraid of the wooden board on the boat. It was very narrow, only about 20 to 30 centimeters, and looked as thick as a brick, but it still couldn't withstand the terrifying bottomless sea below.

Just as Xia Mi was about to reach out her hand, Huo Jingchen appeared and held her hand, "Don't worry, I'll fish you out even if you fall."

Only one person on this island can speak in such an annoying tone.

Xia Mi handed her hand to him with confidence.

The moment her toes touched the ground, her heart finally settled down, and she pulled her hand away, "Thank you, Captain Huo."

The soldier on duty nearby saw this scene, looked at each other, and had a subtle expression, his eyes expecting Huo Jingchen to coax him.

"You've become so unfamiliar after just three days away, Xia Mi. How can I let you go far away in the future if you're like this?"

Xia Mi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Isn't it good? I'll go out alone, and the three of us will come back to make the house lively."

"You dare?"

Huo Jingchen reached out and clasped her wrist, his expression serious and his eyes cold.

"You actually believed it. Are you unconfident in me or in yourself?" Xia Mi curved her beautiful eyes and teased Huo Jingchen in public.

Huo Jingchen turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were secretly eating melons. His eyes scared them so much that they quickly turned their heads away.

Xia Mi was still waiting for Huo Jingchen's answer, when a letter was handed to her the next second, "What is this?"

She took the letter, looked at the sender, and read aloud, "This name looks familiar. Isn't it the one you mentioned to me last time? Why are you writing to me again?"

"Who knows what's wrong with him? Look, he has ruined my eyes once."

Since Sang Qi contacted her on his own initiative, it was most likely about the Xia family. He still wanted to make an advisory decision for Xia Mi.

Xia Mi waited until she got home to take out the letter. She sat on a small stool in the yard to bask in the sun and opened the letter. The handwriting on the letter was firm and the strokes were powerful.

The letter first greeted Huo Jinchen, then went straight to the point, mentioning the matter of the niece, hoping that Huo Jingchen could send back a recent photo of Xia Mi, followed by a thank you.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Huo Jingchen entered the room, he saw someone frowning and looking at the letter in confusion.

"Have you delivered all the stuff?" Xia Mi put away the letter. She brought some cloth and buttons for Zhao Shengmei and just asked Huo Jingchen to deliver them to someone.

Huo Jingchen nodded and said, "What's written in the letter?"

"I asked you to send me a photo of me, why did he suddenly change his attitude?"

"What else could it be? Because some people didn't do their job well and let the truth slip."

Huo Jingchen smiled, his dark eyes curved, and then asked Xia Mi what she meant, "You make the decision on this matter, what do you want to do?"

"Just pretend you didn't receive the letter."

If it was really as Huo Jingchen said, then Xia Mi felt that it was better not to recognize this uncle. It was hard to tell what he valued? Blood relationship? Then why did he recognize Xia Yaoyao as his niece in the first place?

Or is it about feelings? But if it's about feelings, why write to me now?

No matter which one it is, Xia Mi doesn't want to take the initiative to express her opinion. It's not like she is the one who is rushing to acknowledge him as her uncle.

"Okay, it happens that our family is in need of a lighter, so we'll use this tonight." Huo Jingchen walked closer, took the letter from Xia Mi's hand, and a beautiful arc rose at the corner of his mouth.

Xia Mi didn't refute and let him go.

"Don't cook tonight. My sister-in-law just said she made steamed buns and noodles with gravy and asked us to come over to eat in the evening." Huo Jingchen walked into the main room before telling the news.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Okay, there's something I forgot to give you, so you won't go empty-handed later."

"What?"

Xia Mi followed him into the house and took out a math workbook for all grades of elementary school from her bag.

"What do you think of this? Is it useful to Qian Yue?"

Huo Jingchen looked at the familiar cover, and his memory went back to a year ago, when Lin Qianyue and a few other kids were running around, directly entering the army, and even going to the dormitory area.

It was a sunny day and most people took out their clothes and quilts to dry in the sun. A few children thought the clothes looked impressive and tried to put them on secretly but were later discovered.

The clothes were too big for the children, who were small, so after being discovered, they ran around, fell and rolled around.

Among them, Huo Jingchen’s clothes were on Lin Qianyue.

Afterwards, he went to the city for a meeting and specially bought a lot of exercise books for Lin Qianyue.

"Why don't you speak? Isn't that good?"

Xia Mi was thinking about the scarcity of resources on the island, especially this kind of homework.

Huo Jingchen came back to his senses and shook his head to deny, "No, I think you chose a good gift." -In the evening, Lin Qianyue heard that Xia Mi brought him a gift, and he was so excited that he kept circling around her.

It was not until they saw Xia Mi take out the exercise book with their own eyes that their little face froze. Even Jiang Shengmei's expression showed a moment of surprise, but they quickly returned to normal.

Captain Jiang was the one who liked gifts the most, and he urged Lin Qianyue to accept it.

"Xiao Xia, your gift is really timely. Jing Chen also gave me an identical book two years ago, but I don't know where it went some time ago. Now, there is a new one."

Lin Qianyue's face was drooping. He had just thrown away the exercise book with great difficulty, so how could it come back again? Seeing her nephew's expression, Jiang Shengmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to comfort him by suppressing her smile.

"Qian Yue, Teacher Xia is doing this for your own good. Besides, doing it again can help consolidate your memory, which is a good thing."

"Yes, you don't know how expensive this thing is. One copy costs one dollar and twenty cents. Why don't you take it quickly?"

Jiang Ling urged Lin Qianyue.

Lin Qianyue could only bite the bullet and take the exercise book, and said against his will, "Thank you, Teacher Xia. Teacher Xia, you are so kind to me."

"You two really are from the same family. You can even give a small gift like this." Jiang Shengmei couldn't help laughing.
