Chapter 335
…
It was already late at night when we returned to the camp. The team leaders gave a brief explanation and sent their members back to rest.
"Jiaojiao, wait a minute, let me take you home." Mu Jiao turned around and was walking back when she heard A Ping's voice behind her.
Ah Ping? Mu Jiao saw the person running towards her and immediately shook her head, refusing:
"No need. You've been busy all day and you must be tired. Go back and rest. I can go back by myself."
This is the north side of the camp, where the fifth group of the Imperial Military University is stationed. The south is where their four subsequent groups are stationed. The eighteenth group of the Imperial United University where Mu Jiao is located is stationed at the southernmost end, about five or six minutes from here.
It was already very late, and Mu Jiao didn't want A Ping to waste his rest time going back and forth.
"I can only feel at ease after seeing you enter the tent." Ah Ping insisted on walking beside Mu Jiao.
"...Okay then." Seeing Ah Ping's determined expression, with a hint of pleading in his face, Mu Jiao reluctantly nodded in agreement. Ah Ping was good in every way, except for his worrying habit, which she probably couldn't change. Mu Jiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Bowen was explaining things to Lan Qi, but he didn't expect to see the boy not far away harassing his master's pet again. The two of them talked about something, but the boy actually walked side by side with the pet and headed towards their camp.
It was the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone... Bowen let his imagination run wild, as if he had completely ignored the classmates who were heading south with him.
He thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately stopped talking to Lan Qi. He just said a few words and quickly caught up with the two of them.
"Jiaojiao, have a good rest. I'll go back first." Aping sent Zhimu Jiao to the door of her tent, then said goodbye to Mu Jiao and went back.
"Yeah. Thank you, Aping, for sending me back. You should go back and rest early too." Mu Jiao nodded, thanked Aping, and urged him to go back and rest.
Bowen, who had been secretly observing the situation not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Aping did not enter Mu Jiao's tent and turned back. He went back to rest with peace of mind.
As Ping walked, he nonchalantly glanced at Bowen's back as he turned back to the tent. This man's concern for his master wasn't just the care of a classmate or a team leader for his teammates; he was overly attentive. What was the reason?
A Ping felt a little confused and walked back to his residence without stopping.
As soon as Mu Jiao returned to the tent, she felt exhausted. She took off her plush suit with ice chips on it and quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.
The warm water flow greatly relieved Mu Jiao's fatigue. After cleaning up everything, Mu Jiao ate something simple, brushed her teeth, and couldn't wait to lie down on the bed.
It was already past two in the morning. Mu Jiao thought that she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow after running around all day, but the opposite was true.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. With the sound-isolating device, the room was terrifyingly silent. The fragrance of Huo Qi lingered on the pillow, reminding Mu Jiao of last night... Her heartbeat quickened slightly. The more Mu Jiao tried to calm down, the more she missed Huo Qi...
She tossed and turned like this until four or five in the morning when she finally fell into a drowsy sleep. She was woken up once by the alarm clock, and after turning it off, she went back to sleep for a while. It was not until after nine o'clock that the doorbell rang, and Mu Jiao reluctantly opened her eyes and got up to open the door.
