An Moxue and Wu Sicheng sat on the plane. Wu Sicheng smiled contentedly, "I thought we would part ways in Maple Leaf Town, but things took an unexpected turn, and I was able to accompany you to Kyoto."

An Moxue glanced at him, moved closer to him, and whispered, "I never expected you to be like this, Comrade Wu. Just to get on the plane with me, you went to such lengths. You even went to see your girlfriend whom you hadn't seen for years. Isn't she sitting right in front of you? Do you have other girlfriends?"

Wu Sicheng unconsciously tightened his lips and stopped talking. Everyone in Kyoto has a few idle chatter. Does she have some prejudice or misunderstanding against him?

Isn't this normal procedure?

Other girlfriends?

She really has a knack for it!

I don't want to talk to her!

Seeing that he didn't reply, she asked softly, "Why do you seem to know this driver so well? What's your relationship?" When he ignored her, she reached out and pinched his waist hard, but couldn't feel anything, only a patch of firm skin. Undeterred, she pressed on, "Tell me! Tell the truth, or you'll face severe torture!"

Wu Sicheng glanced at her discreetly and said, "Your childhood friend's younger brother, the little follower who's always been chasing after us. Keep your voice down, we need to keep your privacy, don't we?"

An Moxue rolled her eyes rather inelegantly and said, "I knew it! So easy to talk to, no need to apply to higher-ups, turns out you're just a subordinate! Isn't this an abuse of power?"

"What are you thinking about?" He was about to reach out and flick her forehead, but then, remembering her current attire, he abruptly withdrew his hand and sat up straight.

She replied rather perfunctorily, "Oh!"

She seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Will you stay after you get off the plane?"

"I'll go back to see my elders, then return to the army; I won't stay."

"Be extra careful when you're alone. Don't always take risky or unconventional approaches when doing tasks; prioritize safety. Will you be leaving soon?"

"Probably. But I'd like to visit the cemetery; I haven't been back for years, and I'd like to take a look."

"Of course."

"In the blink of an eye, time flies. Some of my friends have already started families and have children. Looking back on the time before I went to the countryside, it feels like a dream, like it's not real."

"That's right, she was just a little girl in her teens back then, and now she's a prominent figure who can stand on her own. How can you compare!"

An Moxue smiled and teased, "Yes, the little brother from back then has become an uncle."

Wu Sicheng glanced ahead, then moved closer to her and whispered, "Come on, call me 'little brother' or 'little uncle,' it's fine either way?"

An Moxue rolled her eyes at him. "I dare to yell, do you dare to answer?" As she spoke, she glanced at him and then at the pilot in front of her, the meaning of which was self-evident: Aren't you afraid that I'll yell loudly and he'll hear me?

Wu Sicheng begged for mercy, "Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots, I'm scared of you. Okay?"

An Moxue raised an eyebrow, looking smug.

"By the way, can I ask you something? If the college entrance exam is liberalized, should I take it for fun, or even if I don't take it, are there any special admission slots?"

"You're really well-informed!"

An Moxue said smugly, "Of course, don't you even know what kind of work we do?"

Wu Sicheng asked, puzzled, "Is it necessary? Didn't you already go to Puda University?"

"No? Given the same promotion opportunity, if you're a leader, will you be promoted to someone with a degree or someone without? Besides, my Puda University diploma can't be made public in China, at least not while I'm in office, and it might not even be made public for many years after I die!"

"That's true, it's a very practical question, but will your superiors agree to let you transfer to a domestic company?" That's another question.

"If I can manage both well, it shouldn't be a big problem," An Moxue thought for a moment and voiced her guess.

Moreover, she has a plan; she won't just come back to study. She also has her own business plans in China, waiting for policies to be relaxed and for the situation in China to change. She has already chosen the person in charge in China.

I believe the country will not refuse the investment I bring back.

"Is there a major you'd like to study?"

"Yes, archaeology or artifact restoration."

Wu Sicheng looked at her as if he could see through everything and asked, "You don't really want to get a university degree, you just want to learn about antiques, right? But you could also say that you're studying this major and the university degree is just a side thing!"

An Moxue glared at him and said, "Do you know what it means to see through something but not say it?"

He thought of what he had seen at her house in Osiri, especially the jewelry, all of which were priceless. "You really like it?"

"Um."

"When you come back and go to study, I'll find you a teacher, the kind of master you have to kneel and bow to. Study hard, okay?"

An Moxue asked in surprise, "Really?"

Looking into her bright eyes, Wu Sicheng said, "When have I ever lied to you? Besides, we don't even worship anyone who isn't a big shot in the industry. A good reputation is important, and solid skills are essential."

"Someone with such great abilities, would he really listen to you and just take me in as you say?" An Moxue asked skeptically.

Wu Sicheng smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."

"Alright! Who knows when that will happen! No rush."

"By the way, have you checked on my Gale and Lightning these past few years?"

“I checked last year, and it’s doing great! Don’t worry, the wolf pack has grown by dozens more wolves.”

"They didn't have any babies?"

"No, but it'll be soon. Maybe I just haven't met the right wolf yet. I won't settle!"

An Moxue rested her chin on her hand and said, "Well, that's good. I'm always worried about them, afraid they'll come down the mountain because they miss me and get shot." She looked nostalgic.

Wu Sicheng comforted him, "Go see them when you have time to come back! They're very smart! Don't you know how smart you are of the wolves you raised?"

"There aren't many people or things that I care about or that care about me, and I hope they are all doing well."

"Yes, kind people always get good results, and so do animals."

"We've gone quite far. Look, there's snow outside. The further north we go, the heavier the snow gets."

"Hmm." With parting drawing near, his mood suddenly soured, and he didn't know when they would meet again.

She looked out the window, her face beaming. "What should I do? I'm a little reluctant to part with you. You must look as healthy as you used to next time we meet, so I won't feel guilty."

He looked at her, and some of the gloom in his heart dissipated. 'Little liar, all you do is sweet-talk and deceive people. You have no sincerity at all; you don't even look me in the eye.'

"Yes, I will." Regardless of what he was thinking, he still honestly assured her.

"Look, doesn't that cloud look like a turtle taking a nap with its shell facing upwards?"

See, there's no sincerity at all; the previous sentence and the next sentence are completely contradictory.

However, he was very happy.

Because he knew that she would only let down her guard and say whatever came to mind in front of people she was close to.

An Moxue turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Were you even listening to me?"

He smiled and replied softly, "I'm listening. Go on."
