Extra Thirty
Tang Yue blinked, then sat cross-legged on the bed, her expression very serious. "Commander, tell me, what exactly happened in China?"
Chang Yin was sulking at the moment, and was a little confused by Tang Yue's sudden question. "What?"
Tang Yue gave her a look that said, "You don't need to lie to me, Battalion Commander. Just tell me directly. I'll definitely do what I can to help. You don't need to look at me like that. I know that in your heart nothing is more important than China."
Often hidden...
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Chang Yin was a little confused. "Nothing happened."
Tang Yue, acting like a little adult, said, "Battalion Commander, we've been working together for so many years, don't I know your temper? If there's nothing wrong, would you be acting like this?"
Chang Yin felt he couldn't explain himself no matter how many mouths he had. Then, somewhat helplessly, he said, "China is really doing well now, nothing's wrong. You don't need to overthink it."
Tang Yue patted her small chest, "Oh dear, Battalion Commander, you scared me to death. I thought something irreversible had happened."
Chang Yin looked at the little girl's lively eyes with a smile in his eyes. Tang Yue was even more frightened when she saw his expression. "Commander, can you please stop looking at me like that? It's giving me goosebumps."
Chang Yin was speechless again. He realized that ever since he saw the little girl again, he had been feeling a tightness in his chest, but he couldn't say anything. The girl was too young; if he revealed his thoughts now, would she think he was a beast? Sigh! If he didn't know he could live so long, he would think he was a pervert.
Tang Yue felt that the battalion commander seemed even more aloof than before. But, tsk tsk, with the battalion commander's good looks, even if he's a bit aloof, he's still charming.
Chang Yin sat on the bed. "You really want me to go back that badly?" He realized that it was too difficult for this girl to guess his thoughts.
Tang Yue's eyes widened. "No, Battalion Commander, don't wrong me. But don't you all have time when you're on missions? What? Isn't this mission urgent?"
Often hidden...
Seeing the battalion commander's expression, Tang Yue felt that she might have said something wrong. "Battalion commander, it's actually normal for you to stay here for a few more days. After all, you've traveled for so long and it must be really tiring."
Chang Yin looked at her with a smile on his lips. "Then can I come with you?"
Tang Yue opened her mouth slightly, "I don't have any objections, but will the military agree?"
Chang Yin didn't say whether he agreed or not. The next day, he directly arranged for the experts to board the ship. Tang Yue set up an invisibility array on the ship, so even if they arrived at a Chinese port, no one would detect them.
However, Chang Yin still gave a seemingly composed officer some instructions: once they reached Chinese territory, they could move several stones from certain locations on the ship. The man didn't understand what he meant, but he carried it out as a mission.
Next, Tang Yue, Chang Yin, and Gu Yanxi traveled all over the United States. During this time, they sent countless experts back. Tang Yue even took possession of all the planes that Russia sent to the United States.
The day after the US redeployed its military defenses, a US military base was inexplicably attacked. All the latest military equipment produced in the past year was looted. The US claimed internationally that China was responsible, citing the prevalence of such looting sprees among Chinese. However, China stated that everything must be based on evidence, and that one should not fabricate rumors or make false accusations without proof.
Five years later
Tang Yue is sixteen years old and has already finished high school. The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has been reinstated in China, but Tang Yue has no intention of taking it. The reason is simple: even at sixteen, Tang Yue is still under 130 cm tall.
She was certain she wasn't a dwarf, but no matter how much she exercised or what she ate, she just couldn't grow taller. Now she was a true dwarf.
Tang Yue couldn't accept this reality. She spent every winter and summer vacation in the Qinling Mountains. According to the advancement rules of the cultivation world, she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. There was no point in staying here any longer.
Chang Yin had followed Tang Yue every year for the past few years, and his cultivation speed had not fallen behind at all. Tang Yue had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while he had reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Today was the day Tang Yue finished her final exams. As soon as she got home, Lin Cuicui looked at her with a smile and asked, "How did it go? Did my daughter do well on her exams?"
Tang Yue was speechless. "Mom, your daughter is so smart, how could she be stumped by a small test? Dad and my brothers aren't back yet?"
Lin Cuicui gestured towards the backyard, "They're all in the backyard. Chang Yin is there too."
"Oh, I'll go find them." Before she could leave, everyone returned together.
Tang Yue asked everyone to sit down, as she had something to say.
"What? You want to go to the cultivation world? No, I don't agree!" Lin Cuicui reacted the most, jumping up from her chair as if her daughter was about to run away.
Tang Shengkai and his brothers were also surprised by Tang Yue's decision. Looking at Xixi, who was even taller than her, Tang Yue felt helpless.
"Mom, I know you're reluctant to part with me. But, can you look at my height? In my dreams, cultivators are always accompanied by tribulations of lightning when they advance to the next realm."
But now that I've reached the Nascent Soul stage, I haven't experienced a single tribulation. This is very abnormal. I think my height might be related to this.
Mom and Dad, I don't want to be a shorty.
Chang Yin was suppressing a laugh. He had heard Tang Yue's complaints more than once and had long been prepared to go with her to find the cultivation world. He was not as surprised as her family.
Despite Lin Cuicui's repeated objections, Tang Yue persisted in her own ideas.
China is developing rapidly, and the Tang family has gained a foothold in the Beijing social circle. Lin Cuicui is capable of protecting herself, and Tang Yue has also refined many spiritual treasures for them. Therefore, Tang Yue is not worried at all.
Over the years, the Tang family had seen through Chang Yin's intentions, but they had never spoken of it openly. The Chang family also frequently came to visit.
When Chang Yin offered to accompany Tang Yue, neither family member was surprised, except for Tang Yue herself.
Tang Yue gave him a look that said, "Are you still asleep?" Even though Chang Yin's position was already very high, she still liked to call him Battalion Commander.
"Battalion Commander, where are you going? I don't even know how to look for you yet. What if I lose you?"
Chang Yin smiled and patted her head. "It's okay, I won't lose you."
Tang Yue had forgotten when Chang Yin started liking to rub her head, but after so many years, she had gotten used to it.
"Are you really sure? I'm not sure when I'll be back."
Chang Yin looked back at Tang Yue earnestly, "Yes, I'll follow you for all eternity!"
In that instant, Tang Yue seemed to understand something.
My darlings, that's all for now for the side stories. I'll continue later once I've figured out how to write a section about their life in the cultivation world. Thank you so much for your continued support! See you later!
May all my darlings, in the days to come, face whatever challenges they encounter with unwavering faith and courage. May your lives be filled with sunshine and laughter, and may you draw strength from setbacks to grow stronger. May all your wishes come true, may your paths be smooth, and may the rest of your lives be filled with peace and joy.
