"President!" Before Xia Xiang could even be surprised at how Cao Cao was there, such a big man fainted on the spot.

Xia Xiang quickly stepped forward to help him expel the poisonous blood and gave him an antidote pill, while Wan Bing and Chen Bai had long since disappeared.

"Uh, it's so far, and he's such a big guy, am I supposed to carry him back?" Xia Xiang was very helpless when she saw that Cao Cao's complexion had recovered, but he was still not awake.

"It's so cold at night."

——

Early the next morning

"Awake?" Xia Xiang asked, her eyes closed as she meditated. Hearing the rustling sounds coming from inside the tent, she replied, "There's hot water; you can wash up."

Cao Cao was momentarily taken aback when he saw himself wrapped in a sleeping bag and placed inside the tent.

"Xiangxiang, may I call you that?" Cao Cao straightened his clothes slightly and lifted the curtain to say.

"Of course," Xia Xiang opened her eyes and poked the burning charcoal fire with a twig.

"What are these?" Cao Cao asked, looking at the charcoal stove, kettle, and barbecue grill with a puzzled expression.

“We were lucky yesterday; we met some campers, and I gave them money to sell us their stuff,” Xia Xiang explained.

"Only one tent!?" Cao Cao was somewhat taken aback.

“Yes, you saved me, so of course I let you sleep with me.” Xia Xiang glanced at him sideways and then laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m warming myself by the fire outside, I’m not inside, so you’re still Xiao Qiao’s.”

Cao Cao looked somewhat embarrassed and asked, "How did you know?"

"I could tell," Xia Xiang said. "If you really like her, you'd better confess sooner rather than later."

Cao Cao: "I don't want to put pressure on Xiao Qiao or cause her any trouble. I just think she's cute."

"Mmm," Xia Xiang said calmly, taking a sip of hot tea.

"I really don't want to put pressure on Xiao Qiao, nor do I want to cause her any trouble..." Cao Cao began again.

Xia Xiang: "???" What is he doing!

"President, you were out for a walk late last night too?" Xia Xiang handed him a cup of hot tea, interrupting his rambling thoughts.

Cao Cao took a sip and said, "Yes, yes." He couldn't very well say that he had followed her out.

"Oh~" Xia Xiang replied, "What a coincidence, me too, I didn't expect to run into the Yellow Turban bandits."

"Thank you so much, Chairman, for saving my life yesterday. I will never forget your kindness."

Seeing Xia Xiang's unreadable expression, Cao Cao politely replied, "Not at all, we are all subjects of the Han Dynasty, it is only right for us to help each other."

"Yes," Xia Xiang replied.

"Actually, when I was taking a walk, I saw that Xiangxiang's kung fu was even more formidable than it was when we were training at the training ground that day. I wonder where Xiangxiang learned her kung fu?" Cao Cao asked directly when Xia Xiang didn't respond.

"It's all just for show, it has no real sect or school," Xia Xiang said, pouring herself another cup.

"Xiangxiang's abilities are outstanding, and she should not be buried like this. Why not join me and Brother Xia Nian to help restore our great Han Dynasty?" Cao Cao said bluntly when he saw that Xia Xiang was unmoved by his words.

Xia Xiang: She's so tired. She's really not used to his face and how he talks. She prefers Jili's cute and innocent look.

"I'm naturally unrestrained and love freedom," Xia Xiang said.

"President, if I may remind you, it's getting late. If we don't set off soon, we'll be late for class."

Cao Cao never expected Xia Xiang to be so straightforward!

Well, it's better to deal with Xia Nian first. After all, although that guy didn't show any obvious willingness to join, he didn't directly refuse either, right?

He absolutely must recruit these two siblings to his cause!
