Chapter 431 Let's Wash Together

Before Qu Tong could say anything, they had already spontaneously decided to keep it a secret for her.

She smiled, realizing she hadn't given the potion to the wrong person.

Even if they didn't say anything, they couldn't keep it a secret for long.

Those who improved her physical fitness level were all people around her; anyone with a discerning eye would know that.

However, there was still an old man named Yuan blocking the way.

It's estimated that Fei Wenxing and the others simply believed that they had received the medicine from Old Man Yuan.

Apart from Xu An, the others were extremely excited, as if they had found a treasure.

Then the whole dinner party changed. The five of them were busy and full of energy, while Qu Tong was left with nothing to do.

"Sister Tong, we'll take care of it. You just need to give instructions."

"Sister Tong, your hands are so beautiful and white, don't get them dirty, let me do it."

"Little Qu Tong, would you like an apple? Do you want it peeled? Or should I cut it into pieces for you?"

...

The hot pot was ready, and Qu Tong prepared a less spicy sauce before sitting down at the clear broth pot.

Fei Wenxing was the first to notice, and exclaimed, "Sister Tong, what are you doing sitting over there? Didn't you always eat hot pot with us before?"

In the past, Song Ke and Xu An preferred milder flavors, while Cheng Yaofei and Wen Xing both preferred strong flavors and spicy food.

"No, from now on I'm going to start taking care of my health," Qu Tong said righteously.

Fei Wenxing was stunned: "Sister Tong, you're only 20 years old, why are you talking about health preservation?"

"Oh dear, Qu Tong, eat whatever you want. What's it to you?" Song Ke cooked some vegetables for Qu Tong. "Here, Qu Tong, try this unique clear broth tripe."

Fei Wenxing suddenly remembered a post he had seen online before, which seemed to say that health preservation was another way of saying weight loss.

After looking her up and down, Qu Tong subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach, which just happened to accentuate the slight bulge under her skirt.

Tong Jie does seem to have gained some weight, so Fei Wenxing stopped worrying about it and sat back down.

After eating and drinking their fill, Fei Wenxing and the others went to the training room to digest.

This time, Qu Tong refused to have a sparring partner and sat outside the court. After sitting for a while, she started to feel sleepy.

Seeing that Song Ke seemed a bit lost in thought, he went over to her and started chatting: "Is something on your mind?"

Song Ke glanced at Qu Tong, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Song Nuan hasn't been back for a long time."

"Don't you and your sister have a bad relationship?"

But it doesn't quite look like it.

Song Ke shook her head and smiled bitterly, "So our relationship wasn't like this before. Father and Mother were too busy and didn't have much time to take care of us. My sister and I were each other's closest people..."

Qu Tong listened attentively.

Song Nuan had gotten lost before. That day happened to be Song Ke's birthday, and everyone was busy celebrating with Song Ke. No one noticed that Song Nuan was lost at first. In the end, Lan Weiying brought her back.

As they grew older, they became more aware of their parents' favoritism, and the two gradually drifted apart, even arguing over some issues.

"Actually, what was important that day wasn't my birthday, but the project my father was about to get involved in."

“She was jealous of how much attention I received from my parents, but every effort they put into me deserves an equal return.”

Song Ke spoke in a calm tone, raising her head and her gaze falling precisely on Xu An, who was fighting two opponents in the arena.

Qu Tong looked over and saw that Miss Song, who was always clear-headed, seemed to need no comforting from her.

After playing for a while, the group sat on the rooftop, overlooking the magnificent scenery for miles around, and talked about their future and ideals.

Fei Wenxing wanted to join the First Legion for a simple reason: everyone there was so capable, he couldn't let them down.

Cheng Yao also wanted to go, but he was torn because his family's pharmaceutical factory needed him to take over.

Xu An performed well in the Fifth Army Corps and is expected to be promoted to First-Class Warrant Officer next year.

He Zhou wanted to follow Xu An and become his deputy, hoping to have the opportunity to learn how to pilot fighter jets and warships.

Song Ke smiled and said she didn't know yet and would have to listen to her family's arrangements.

...

Gradually, everyone went home, leaving only Qu Tong on the rooftop.

Looking at the setting sun on the horizon, and recalling Song Ke's words before she left, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, adding a touch of melancholy.

Footsteps sounded behind her, but Qu Tong did not turn around.

"It's cold, don't let your feet get cold." Si Yuting lifted her down from the railing and helped her put on her shoes with a helpless yet affectionate expression.

Qu Tong looked down at Si Yuting's large hands holding her slender ankles, pressing down on her toes with his feet. "It's not too cold yet. Has Your Highness's matter been resolved?"

"Yes, it'll be soon."

Si Yuting helped Qu Tong put on her shoes and then picked her up with one hand.

Qu Tong reached out and wrapped her arms around Si Yuting's neck. Suddenly, she remembered the gift the Empress had given her, and now that she thought about it, it didn't seem so shameful anymore.

So, after returning to her room, Qu Tong dug out the diamond-encrusted photo frame from a nearly forgotten corner of the space button.

Si Yuting was somewhat surprised when he saw it. "You have this?"

"My mother gave it to me and told me to hang it in my room," Qu Tong clarified.

She didn't print it herself.

Si Yuting's eyes flickered. "Okay."

"No!" Qu Tong protested.

Looking at the photo of herself being held in Si Yuting's arms with one hand, barely taller than Si Yuting's head, she sighed again, "So tiny."

"Hmm, very cute," Si Yuting commented.

"No, I prefer to be taller."

"I like anything as long as it's you."

Qu Tong had gradually gotten used to Si Yuting teasing her from time to time with a comment like, "If you like it, then you can have it."

Si Yuting actually carefully put the photo frame away and then got down to business.

"The results from Jiang Zhou's side are in, and they match the statistics from the gene bank."

"In addition, among those who only took your mental strength stabilizing drug, only a few people saw an increase in their fertility value, which may be due to the small dosage taken."

Energy fruits can be eaten every day, but a person usually only takes one or two doses of mental energy stabilizing drugs.

"Then it's probably true." That's because of her superpower.

The fruits and vegetables in her shop have been selling out instantly these past few days. Xiang Bin and Ke Jun also told her that many people have been trying to find her to cooperate through various channels.

However, Qu Tong still chose to develop conservatively. She didn't know when the knife hanging over her head would fall, so she had no intention of doing anything else.

When Si Yuting was talking, he liked to hold Qu Tong on his lap, his fingers tracing her soft hair from head to waist.

"Do you have anything else to do here? I'm planning to take you back to Abel in a couple of days."

Si Yuting suddenly changed the subject, and Qu Tong was a little caught off guard. She turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you going back?"

Si Yuting gently tapped her stomach. "It's time for a checkup."

oh!

She almost forgot.

However, Qu Tong was still puzzled. How could a military base like Abel Star conduct pregnancy tests?

Looking into her boss Yu Ting's reassuring eyes, Qu Tong swallowed her doubts again.

What could she do if she was worried? She didn't have a better solution.

Qu Tong yawned, and Si Yuting wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes. His magnetic voice was exceptionally gentle, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'll take a shower and come right away."

"Let's go together," Qu Tong replied casually.

Si Yuting's eyes darkened. "Are you sure?"

"I ate hotpot today, and I smelled like that too." Qu Tong raised her arm to sniff, and then walked towards the bathroom first.

Si Yuting stood there for a while, then followed.
