Su Wan tiptoed out of bed and walked to the living room. With the faint moonlight coming in from the window, she saw that Lu Shiyan's door was closed.
He should not be asleep yet, as she seemed to hear a slight noise inside just now.
When doing ideological work, we must strike while the iron is hot.
Su Wan encouraged herself, walked to Lu Shiyan's door, raised her hand, and then put it down.
Just knock on the door?
What's the excuse?
You can't just say with a clear conscience, "I know where the arms are. If you don't take me with you, you'll just come back empty-handed."
That's too revealing.
A light bulb went off in my head.
Got it!
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard: "Why don't you come in?"
The door opened.
Lu Shiyan was wearing a simple black T-shirt and trousers, and his short hair was still wet with moisture, obviously he had just washed.
"What's the matter?" His voice was steady, without any emotion.
"I……"
He placed one hand casually on the door handle, the other hand casually in his trouser pocket, leaning upright against the door frame, his eyes fixed calmly on her.
The water droplets rolled down the ends of his jet-black hair, crossed his well-defined profile, and disappeared into the slightly open neckline of his T-shirt.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned her eyes away from his neck.
Beauty can mislead people, beauty can mislead people!
Boss, I need your body...ah, I need you to take me to get arms!
Su Wan was tongue-tied, "I...I can't sleep."
Lu Shiyan raised his eyebrows, seemingly not surprised by the answer, and did not respond. He just looked at her and waited for her to continue.
The moonlight outlined his clear jawline, and the night added an indescribable sense of oppression to him.
Su Wan gritted her teeth and continued: "I'm thinking about tomorrow's mission."
"Yeah." Lu Shiyan responded, still without any expression.
I can’t continue chatting today!
Su Wan was a little mad. Was this guy a blockhead? Why didn't he take the initiative to ask her what she wanted to say?
She gritted her teeth and decided to get straight to the point: "I think I should go with you."
Lu Shiyan looked at her, his eyes didn't change: "Reason."
"I...I seem to have some impression of that abandoned factory." She spoke carefully, trying not to sound too deliberate.
Lu Shiyan raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested.
"impression?"
Lu Shiyan was wearing a simple T-shirt and trousers, his hair was slightly wet, obviously he had just washed.
He leaned against the door frame, his eyes inquiring, "What's up?"
Su Wan forced out a worried and somewhat anxious expression, and lowered her voice: "Lu Shiyan, I...I remembered something, it's very important!"
Lu Shiyan raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
"That abandoned factory in the South District," Su Wan leaned closer and lowered her voice, as if she was talking about some top-secret information, "My dad...my dad mentioned it to me before!"
Lu Shiyan's expression didn't change, he just looked at her quietly.
Su Wan felt a little guilty when he looked at her, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to make up a story: "My father accidentally said that the factory seemed to be a temporary military supply transfer point in the past. It might... might contain a batch of munitions that were not transported away in time!"
As she spoke, she nervously observed Lu Shiyan's reaction.
In order to increase credibility, she deliberately emphasized the word "arms" and her eyes widened, trying to show that "the matter is serious and of great importance."
Lu Shiyan remained silent, his eyes wandering over her face, as if evaluating the truthfulness of her words.
Please, believe it!
This is the most reasonable excuse she can think of!
After a few seconds, Lu Shiyan slowly spoke, his voice lacking emotion: "Did your father tell you?"
"Yes! It's absolutely true!" Su Wan nodded vigorously, almost breaking her neck. "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I just thought about it while lying on the bed. The mission location happens to be an abandoned factory in the South District. This... This is such a coincidence! I think I must tell you!"
She had this "I worry so much about the team" look on her face.
Lu Shiyan looked at her, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly, but he quickly returned to his calm.
"Munitions?" he repeated, his voice rising slightly.
"Yeah!" Su Wan nodded vigorously again.
"So?" Lu Shiyan interrupted her, his eyes lingering on her flat belly for a moment.
Su Wan: “…”
She immediately stopped her movements and put on a pitiful yet determined expression again: "I know I'm pregnant, but I can promise that I won't run around. I'll just follow you and won't hold you back! Okay?"
She even added a bit of a coquettish nasal tone to her voice, and she almost got goosebumps.
Lu Shiyan didn't say anything, just looked at her with a complicated and indecipherable look in his eyes.
"You think I would put you in danger just to be a mobile warehouse?"
Su Wan: “…”
Why does this sound so awkward? But...
Wasn't it because of her mobile warehouse that he didn't kill her in the first place?
What does it mean now...
He sighed, "You must follow me closely the whole time. Go back to sleep and get some rest. I'll call you tomorrow morning."
The man said another sentence, his tone calm and even.
"If you can't get up, stay."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft "bang" and the door closed in front of her, blocking out his figure.
Su Wan: “…”
Agreed! He agreed!
As the sky brightened, Su Wan opened her eyes in a daze. After a few seconds of confusion, she suddenly woke up. She grabbed the watch on the bedside table - it was five o'clock in the morning. She tossed and turned in bed for a quarter of an hour, then lay down again, closed her eyes and dozed off. At six o'clock, she waited for the knock on the bedroom door on time.
She jumped up like an arrow and saw Xiao Han standing outside the door.
"Tsk, look at how energetic she is." Xiao Han curled his lips. When Xiao Han knocked on the door, he could have said something teasing, "Pregnant woman, the sun is shining on your butt. If you don't get up, Junhuo will grow legs and run away!"
"Master Lu said he would give you 10 minutes."
"Ten minutes?" Su Wan's eyes widened.
"Nine minutes and fifty seconds left."
Su Wan slammed the door shut, quickly changed her clothes, wiped her face, and washed up hastily. Eight minutes later, she rushed to the living room in a hurry.
Lu Shiyan and A'mo were already waiting there.
"Here I am." Lu Shiyan glanced at her calmly, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
The sun had just risen, and there were not many people on the streets of the base, so they arrived at the south gate without any obstruction. The soldiers guarding the gate lazily checked their mission list and waved them through.
Su Wan sat in the back seat, eating. She felt that her appetite had grown recently.
"The abandoned factory in the South District is very close, and it only takes three hours to drive there." Xiao Han sat in the driver's seat, "Master Lu, how did you come up with the idea of letting the pregnant woman come with you?"
Lu Shiyan glanced at Su Wan who was sitting in the back and said calmly: "I naturally have my considerations."
"Hey, you two are so secretive!" Xiao Han smiled mischievously, "Could it be that last night——"
Lu Shiyan's eyes turned cold and Xiao Han immediately shut up.
The scenery outside the window became desolate, and finally, the outline of a huge, rusty factory building appeared on the horizon.
