Time flew by, and Mu Qingyun returned to her daily life as it was before Su Qiluo left.

The only difference is that she can sometimes order Xiao Bao around and have some fun.

After a month of training, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mu Qingyun wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel, looking at the data on the screen with immense satisfaction.

Despite her dual powers somewhat hindering her progress after so much training, she has been diligent enough to make significant progress in both fire and plant-based abilities.

After tidying up, she prepared to leave the training ground.

As soon as she reached the entrance, the security guard stopped her and handed her a mooncake, saying, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Thank you." She reached out and took it, looking at the mooncake; it was purple sweet potato flavored.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and according to the rules of the military academy's trials, we need to assemble at the second checkpoint tonight.

The whole thing will be watched live again.

Mu Qingyun went to the store first, bought a large box of mooncakes, put them at home, tidied up a bit, opened a bottle of wine, and sat on the balcony.

She didn't wake up until noon the next day, and after waiting all day, Su Qiluo still hadn't returned.

As evening fell and the moon reached its fullest, she looked at the full moon, but anger began to rise within her.

Although she didn't really expect Su Qiluo to come back, since he said when he left that he might not be able to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But she was still angry because he really didn't come back!

"Knock knock knock—"

The moment the door was knocked, Mu Qingyun didn't have time to think and immediately ran towards the door, even forgetting that Su Qiluo was the owner of the dormitory and that he didn't need to knock to get in.

The moment the door opened and she saw the doctor carrying a box of mooncakes, a feeling of disappointment welled up inside her.

It's not Su Qiluo.

"There's no need to be so disappointed." The doctor looked at Mu Qingyun, whose face was full of disappointment, making it impossible for him to ignore her.

"No, please come in." Mu Qingyun stepped aside to let him in. "Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you." The professor placed a box of mooncakes and roast duck on the table. "I ordered some food, it'll be delivered in a bit."

Upon hearing this, she turned to look at the professor, "Just to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me?"

"I didn't mean to tell you anything else. You'll be in military school in the future, and you were a great card partner yesterday."

The professor unpacked the roast duck and mooncakes he had brought and placed them on the table. As he tidied them up, he said, "From now on, if anyone asks me to go out and play cards, I'll take you with me. We'll split the profits 50/50."

"make a deal."

Upon hearing this, she went over and lent a helping hand to the doctor.

Just as the roast duck was finished, the dishes the professor ordered arrived at the door.

The two ate their meal, chatting occasionally.

"By the way, how did you find Su Qiluo?" she asked, sipping her wine.

“It’s a coincidence.” The doctor lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze. “Qi Luo won’t be back tomorrow, so I’ll take you to the entrance to the second level.”

"Will Su Qiluo go?" she suddenly asked. The four of them were considered quite popular in the trial, and they were also the first to come out. When the second trial started, their live stream would definitely be watched by many.

"If I can come back, I'll go; if I can't, I won't go." The professor poured himself a cup of herbal tea, took a sip, and sighed contentedly.

"Give me some too."

Looking at the goji berries and other things in the doctor's cup, she suddenly became curious about what it would taste like when all these things were mixed together, as she had never drunk this before.

"What are you doing drinking this, a young person like you? Go drink your chilled beverage." The doctor glanced at her and put the health cup back a bit.

Goodness, I can say anything else, but I can't let him get away with this health tea. Heaven knows how hard it was for him to concoct a box of goji berries!

"Give me some to try, there's so much of that."

She chatted with the PhD student for a while and felt very comfortable around him.

Such a highly respected, technologically brilliant, and senior citizen with such a high status in the military academy should, in theory, have a reserved and aloof personality.

But the doctor was completely different. He could not only joke with them, but also talk about all kinds of topics, without any arrogance of being in a high position.

Most importantly, he's really talkative and can play poker and mahjong all night with young people.

No wonder he could get two such powerful people like Su Qiluo and Yi Beixuan to follow him willingly; he really does have some "abilities".

In just two short days, she was completely won over.

"Just a little, no more." The doctor looked at her, and finally gave in, pouring her a glass.

Full of anticipation, Mu Qingyun took a sip, trying her best to control her facial expressions, and swallowed the tea with difficulty.

It tastes awful.

"How is it?" The doctor took another sip, raised an eyebrow at her, and looked at her expectantly, hoping for a positive answer from her.

"Not bad." She glanced down at the golden tea in her cup and gave a perfunctory reply.

The two chatted about other things for a while, but the professor couldn't stay awake any longer, so he said goodbye and went back to his dormitory.

In the huge villa, she was all alone again.

Fortunately, this Mid-Autumn Festival went quite well.

She put down the cup, went back to her room, and lay down on the soft bed. This was her last day to rest in such an environment, and she had to make the most of it.

...

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mu Qingyun still did not wait for Su Qiluo.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

Suddenly, a crackling sound reached her ears.

She turned her head and saw that it was her communicator, which she had left on the table, that had rung.

"Can you hear me?" Su Qiluo's voice came from the other end. He seemed to be trying his luck by calling out to the communicator.

"Yes, I'm here."

Picking up the button-shaped communicator, she tentatively asked, "Do you have a signal there?"

"Hello, hello?"

Her words did not reach Su Qiluo's ears through the communicator, and Su Qiluo continued to call out tentatively.

I can't hear it.

She sighed. From the first day Su Qiluo and the others left, she learned from the doctor that the place they were going to was a desert village with no signal and frequent storms.

Therefore, she never received any news from Su Qiluo.

“Su Qiluo, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Mu Qingyun said, looking down at the communicator, “you are the first person I have ever liked in a long time.”

I told you before that I would give you an answer today. Although you've only been pursuing me for a few days, I think we can give it a try.

After she finished speaking, she listened to the communicator, but there was no sound from the other end.

Okay, I can't hear you.

"Knock knock—" The knocking sound came from the door. She thought for a moment and put the communicator on her wrist. At the same time, she took some things out of the storage bag and put them into another smaller one.

After putting the storage bag away, she got up and walked towards the door.

Time to move on to the second level.
