"Are you very free?" Song Qi leaned back in his chair, looking at Yao Fei beside him.
Yao Fei, driving the car, asked, "What exactly do you want?"
“As someone who can’t do anything right now, I don’t think my second brother would be interested in my ideas.” Song Qi leaned against the window, swinging his legs. “If nothing unexpected happens, I will join the army in March.”
Yao Fei frowned, looked at the red light ahead, and slammed on the brakes: "Dad agreed?"
"Yes, I will go in by myself and will not rely on the family's power."
Yao Fei stared at Song Qi and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"As long as you still bear the surname Yao, others will think you are relying on the family's power."
“Oh, but I will change their minds.” Song Qi knocked on the windowsill.
Yao Fei sneered: "Last year you said you just wanted to be a carefree young lady and didn't want to get involved in these things."
“People always change, that’s normal.” Song Qi crossed her legs. “To be a carefree young lady, social stability and family prosperity are prerequisites. If those prerequisites are gone, how can I be a carefree young lady?”
The car slowly stopped in front of the Xia family's house. Song Qi got out of the car and helped Xia Ge, who was wrapped up like a ball, carry her things.
Xia Ge greeted Yao Fei, then walked over to Song Qi and lowered her voice: "Why is Yao Fei here too?"
"Just bored."
Yao Fei's face darkened when he heard the two talking.
Song Qi accompanied Xia Ge to the back seat.
"Don't worry, he'll leave after dropping us off there." Song Qi watched as Xia Ge slowly squeezed into the back seat.
As Xia Ge sat down, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Going out in winter is so painful."
She glanced around the car and sighed, "It's colder inside your car than outside, like you've turned on the air conditioning."
"Second brother, turn on the air conditioner," Song Qi called out casually.
Yao Fei frowned, glanced at Xia Ge in the rearview mirror, but still turned on the heater.
Xia Ge leaned back in her chair, squinted, and yawned, looking like a lazy cat, making Song Qi itchy to pet her.
"I wish I hadn't gone skiing. I'd rather have stayed home in this weather."
"If you don't come out and stretch your legs, you'll probably gain 20 pounds over the winter."
Xia Ge glanced at Song Qi and snorted, "I made you a box of desserts, it's in your bag. If we're going to get fat, we'll all get fat together."
"That one box is far too little. We should get at least a few boxes."
"I scared my whole family half to death just by walking into the kitchen, and I scared them even more after I finished making it." Xia Ge sighed softly. "They thought I was being abused somewhere and that I would be making pastries in the kitchen."
Looking at Xia Ge's expression, Song Qi couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Xia Ge gave Song Qi another look: "Then my dad said he wanted to meet you."
"ah?"
"Because I've never cooked anything for him, he wants to meet the person who tricked me into cooking."
Song Qi: ...
Suddenly, I remembered the fear of being chased and beaten by Luo Shouxin in the previous world.
What could be more terrifying than a father-in-law?
there is none left.
Xia Ge could tell what Song Qi was thinking just by looking at her expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "Then I said it was you."
"Then what?"
“Then my dad said,” Xia Ge cleared her throat, “Oh, that really powerful vampire, how did you end up hanging out with her?”
Song Qi: ...
It sounds like the road ahead is going to be very difficult.
Xia Ge wanted to laugh when she saw Song Qi's frustrated expression: "But my mom likes you quite a bit."
"Yeah?"
"Yes." Xia Ge nodded. "I said a lot of good things about you to her."
Song Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, I might have a chance to join the army in March."
"Why? Why the rush?" Xia Ge's brows furrowed quickly. "Does that mean we won't be able to see each other often?"
"Didn't you complain that I was annoying? Once I go there, I won't bother you anymore."
Xia Ge's eyes were a little red: "It's one thing to find you annoying, but it's another thing not to see you. Besides... the situation at home and abroad is unstable right now. Who knows when a war will break out? It's too dangerous."
Song Qi quietly took Xia Ge's hand: "You won't die."
Xia Ge squeezed Song Qi's hand hard: "Then I want to go too."
Yao Fei felt something was off as he listened to the two girls whispering sweet nothings behind him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it; his imagination was limited.
"Do you think just anyone can walk into the military camp? Vampires can be let in easily because of their physical strength, but a human, especially a pampered young lady, wouldn't be allowed in by the vampires inside," Yao Fei said indifferently.
“I can fight too, and there are plenty of girls in the military camp!” Xia Ge rubbed her arms. “I have muscles too, okay? I don’t need any connections, I can get in by passing the test.”
Xia Ge stared longingly at Song Qi.
"We'll see," Song Qi said, looking away.
"Yao Xi can't control you anyway, so if you want to go, just give it a try," Yao Fei said casually, feeling that the way these two interacted was becoming even stranger.
Song Qi kicked the driver's seat hard: "Don't say anything."
Yao Fei: ? ? ?
Yao Fei dropped Song Qi and Xia Ge off at the hotel entrance and left immediately, his mind still a bit muddled.
Xia Ge was still a little unhappy, dragging her suitcase and walking quickly. Song Qi quickly caught up with her: "Are you angry?"
"No." Xia Ge pressed the button. "Am I just a pretty face in your eyes?"
Song Qi pursed her lips: "I'm just too afraid of losing you, so I don't want you to be exposed to danger."
The two entered the elevator, and Xia Ge took Song Qi's hand: "I know you want to protect me, but you can't always be by my side to protect me. I want to train myself and face things together with you."
Song Qi was silent for a few seconds: "Okay, no backdoors allowed. If you can meet the standards for joining the army, I won't interfere with you."
Xia Ge's eyes lit up. "After we get there, I can help you gather the humans together."
"Okay." Song Qi nodded, looked into Xia Ge's bright eyes, and kissed the corner of her eye.
System NZ: "Tsk tsk, you really didn't even hesitate for a second before agreeing."
"You don't understand."
System NZ: ...
"What do you want to do after you go back?" Song Qi asked.
Xia Ge glanced at Song Qi: "I used to want to be a florist or open a coffee shop and be a couch potato, but I'm not so sure now."
"I can still be a salted fish."
The two people went into the room.
"I don't want to." Xia Ge actually had the answer in her heart, but she didn't want to tell Song Qi. She figured he probably wouldn't hear her if she said it now.
The two rested in the room for a while, had lunch, and then went to the ski resort.
Not many people come to ski, after all, this place is reserved for the nobility.
“Miss Yao,” Wu Die said, looking at Yao Xi with a smile in his eyes, “What a coincidence.”
"It's alright." Song Qi nodded to Wu Die, then tried to let him go and leave.
"Miss Yao, are you free tonight? Would you like to have dinner with me? I've been wanting to invite you to dinner ever since the last banquet."
"Excuse me, I came with a friend, and I have to stay with her." Song Qi said, somewhat annoyed.
Wu Die glanced at Xia Ge standing next to Song Qi. Since she was human, he didn't intend to look at her directly.
"It's just a human being."
