Chapter 202

…

On the small balcony of Mu Jiao's dormitory, the dim light cast a faint reflection of Huo Qi's figure on the white gauze curtain swaying gently in the breeze.

The dormitory is connected to the balcony by a movable transparent glass door, but at this moment the door is half open and not closed.

Looking at the half-open door, Huo Qi frowned slightly, then carefully lifted the gauze curtain and walked in.

The dormitory was not big. Almost the moment Huo Qi entered, he saw a little person sleeping soundly on the bed like a koala.

…

The tall man half-crouched beside the bed, carefully reaching out to push aside the loose hair that covered the girl's sleeping face. The soft touch of the black hair in his palm made Huo Qi reluctant to leave, so he gently stroked the girl's hair with his hand...

Just quietly looking at the sleeping face of the child, feeling her breath lingering around him, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if the most precious soul he had lost had finally returned to his body, and from then on his life was finally complete...

Huo Qi slowly moved his head closer to Mu Jiao's little head, allowing their breaths to gradually intertwine, as if they were one and difficult to separate.

The hunter held the reins in one hand, deceiving himself that he didn't covet the harmless, docile white deer before him, believing he still had the vast forest to conquer. But with his other hand, holding the knife, he was reluctant to cut the reins. After a moment of hesitation and struggle, he finally tightened the reins. He wanted to take the knife and his white deer and conquer the forest...

Huo Qi half-knelt beside the bed, his forehead pressed against Mu Jiao's smooth forehead, his eyes closed, for a long, long time...

It wasn't until the night was almost over that the man slowly stood up and silently disappeared from the room...

…

"Ring... Master, get up, get up! Get up!!!"

At exactly 4:30 in the morning, Mu Jiao sat up, turned off the alarm clock on the bedside table, and then stared blankly for three seconds before diving back into bed...

"Ring... Master, get up, get up! Get up! La la la!!!..." The alarm clock is of course not something that can be set off with just one click. In just three minutes, the annoying sound rang again, and the sound became somewhat irritable and sharp from the gentleness of the first time.

…

This happened several times until the sound of the alarm clock became extremely sharp and piercing, and Mu Jiao finally woke up.

I glanced at the time. It was already 4:20. We were supposed to gather at 4:40. Before that, we had to wash up, eat, and then rush from the dormitory to the training area...

There were only twenty minutes left. So after a burst of crackling…

“Pah—”

The door was slammed shut. Mu Jiao, with a hat tilted on her head and a military training jacket in her hand, set off at a speed only possible for an 800-meter sprint. Of course, she couldn't have breakfast since she got up at this time. Her destination was to go straight to the training area.

Since the military training began, Mu Jiao found it more and more difficult to get up every day, and she was almost turning into a severe procrastinator.

It wasn't that she didn't want to get up, but every time the alarm went off, her hands and brain wouldn't obey her commands. One wanted to turn off the alarm, the other clamored for sleep, and her eyes couldn't help but close... In short, every organ and every cell in her body was disconnected from her soul at this moment. What...could she do?

Ugh, what are you doing?

Mu Jiao rushed to the training ground, but was still a few minutes late. Of course, the good thing was that she met several other latecomers like her on the way.

And the bad thing is...the moment these latecomers rushed into the training area, they were met with countless pairs of "death stares"? !!!
