Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 986: You're a jerk
There was no spring warmth, no flowers blooming, no wild bees swarming. Shen Yanming's honey-collecting plan was shelved.
Chief Alliance Officer Li in the Imperial Capital was also very worried.
Originally, they thought that Li Sikai's condition was not serious and they could wait. But Qinghua Country was late in spring, and everyone was panicking, so they placed their hopes on Li Sikai.
The faith value kept rising. Although Li Sikai didn't faint, he was almost there. He lay in bed all day, gasping for breath, feeling very uncomfortable. But he didn't agree to urge Shen Yanming, because he knew him well. If Haishi had any gains, Shen Yanming would not delay.
Chief Alliance Officer Li had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and just wait.
Here, Shen Yanming finally came up with a solution. He went to Space Mountain to find a bunch of magical small fruits that looked very similar to blueberries, but the effects were completely different. He picked them and dried them, intending to send them to Imperial Capital.
When General Alliance Officer Li received the call from Shen Yanming, he almost cried with joy. He immediately sent someone to pick it up, but he didn't expect that it was just a small bag of dried fruit. It was about two or three pounds, and it looked good, but he didn't know how effective it was.
"Xiao Kai, do you think this blueberry is useful?" Chief Alliance Officer Li looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
"Why don't you try it and you'll know?" Li Sikai said with a smile.
"How can I eat this!" said Chief Alliance Officer Li, and he picked up a small blue fruit and stuffed it into Li Sikai's mouth.
Li Sikai chewed and swallowed, and soon he felt his mind clear and his limbs strong. This feeling was even better than drinking energy rain.
Li Sikai was horrified in his heart, but his expression remained calm.
"How is it? Is it effective?" asked Chief Alliance Officer Li anxiously.
Li Sikai nodded weakly: "Yes, the fruit tastes good." He subconsciously concealed the magical effect of the fruit.
"That's fine, you can keep it and eat it slowly."
After Li Zongmengguan finished speaking, Li Sikai put the fruit into the space and placed it in a corner where only he could touch it.
I don't know how Shen Yanming got this kind of heaven-defying divine object. Since his brother treats him with sincerity, he will keep the secret for him.
"You look much better now. Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Li Sikai felt his limbs gradually becoming stronger and nodded: "Then go ahead. I haven't been out for a while, and I feel bored at home."
"You are just overthinking. You are still worried that they will know that you are not well. In the current situation, even if you are not well, they can only pray that you are safe and sound."
"I know." I just don't want to face those looks of sympathy, worry, or gloating.
"If you have the chance, you should go out more and don't stay at home all day. By the way, when can the space be upgraded? I'm afraid that we won't be able to grow crops in Qinghua Country this year." He didn't want to ask, but in the entire alliance, Xiao Kai was probably the only one who had any output.
"Probably, at least one year." Li Sikai estimated.
"Oh, that's OK. We still have the food stored in the past two years. If we take it out, it can be used to deal with emergencies in various places. I don't know if Mao's guess is right. When will this Little Ice Age end?"
"When it's time to pass, it will pass. We just have to wait patiently."
"I'm just afraid that people will starve to death before it passes."
"Don't worry, I'm here, that won't happen."
"Alas, I am sorry for you. I have said so many times that I regret you recognizing the main space, but in the end, you still have to rely on it. I am ashamed!"
"Everything is destined. I don't blame you."
The uncle and nephew talked in low voices as they walked slowly on the deserted streets of the capital.
Residents from the buildings on both sides saw them and came down to greet them. General Alliance Officer Li and Li Sikai smiled kindly and were very down-to-earth.
It was already June, but it was still as cold as the coldest days of winter. Everyone was wearing thick cotton clothes and was reluctant to take them off.
----------
In Haishi, An'an and Nuan'nuan took the promotion exam again and became the youngest third-grade student. In fact, they could have been promoted to the fourth grade, but for a little baby who was just six years old, being in a higher grade would be stressful.
After Qi Xili talked to Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, the three of them unanimously decided to hold back a little bit. Let the little baby stay in the lower grades for a while, and wait until September, and then move up to the fourth grade with the next batch.
Zhu Ranran was so anxious about the speed of his younger brother and sister's admission that he broke out in a cold sweat. But there was nothing he could do. The two little ones were so busy that he really couldn't keep up. It was only after Zhu Shiliang and Fu Shuling's counseling that the young man adjusted his mentality.
After Bi Qiaoan found out, he exclaimed, "Those wisdom fruits were not eaten in vain!"
Shen Yanming laughed and thought that the magical plants on the mountain were certainly no joke.
Qi Xili, on the other hand, was so fond of her that he had to pester Chen Yanming to ask An An Nuan Nuan to recognize him as his godfather. Chen Yanming was so worried that he didn't even dare to pick up the child from school.
Until one day, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you crazy about having children?"
"That's right, my little Linzi has been in the capital for a whole year. I couldn't eat or sleep without seeing him, and I felt depressed." Qi Xili covered his chest and pretended to be sad.
Shen Yanming took two steps back and thought to himself, he is really good at pretending!
Look at that tall and straight figure and deep eyes. Is that a sign of excessive worry? Of course not!
But Qi Xili finally caught Chen Yanming and saw that his attitude had softened, so how could he just let him go?
He hugged Old Shen's arm and showed his shamelessness to the fullest: "No, I, Old Qi, have never had a daughter in my life, and I must recognize one today. Tell me, how can I get half of Nuannuan? If you don't agree, you can just let Nuannuan be my daughter-in-law. Anyway, my Qi Lin is good, and he is more than enough for your Nuannuan."
Chen Yanming: "...Puh, you idiot, what are you dreaming about? How old is your Qi Lin? How old is my Nuan Nuan? That's not how matchmaking works!
"Well, the daughter of the old Li family is pretty good, she is about the same age as your Qi Lin, if you want to adopt her as your daughter or daughter-in-law, please go ahead!"
"No, no, I just like Nuannuan. If you don't mind, I can recognize Nuannuan as my granddaughter!"
Shen Yanming was in a state of irritability. He pointed at Qi Xili's nose and asked, "Are you not going to take advantage of me?"
Qi Xili laughed and said, "Think about it. It's really not a loss to be related to me."
Of course Shen Yanming knew this, but was it necessary to put himself under such constraints?
After returning home and discussing with Bi Qiaoan for a long time, and seeking the opinions of An An Nuannuan, he finally agreed to Qi Xili's idea of becoming godparents.
The couple thought that the world was becoming increasingly strange, and it would be a good thing to have more people to protect them. They didn't lack any food.
An An Nuan Nuan didn't care. Anyway, she was very familiar with Qi Xili before, and now, he just changed from uncle to godfather, there was no difference.
