(This is the second update; there will be another one later.)
The next morning, I got out of bed early and went outside. I happened to see Sister Jing and Zhang Zhihao having breakfast.
"Xiaonan, you're awake! Come on, it's time for breakfast. We have peanuts today," Sister Jing said with a smile.
I ran my fingers through my messy hair, went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, and sat down at the table to start eating porridge. It had been a long time since I'd had peanuts, so I picked one up and put it in my mouth. The crunchy texture made me nostalgic.
"Not bad, delicious."
During the meal, Zhang Zhihao asked, "Sister Jing, Brother Lu, are you really leaving today?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, we really have to leave, and you can't tell Su Mu about our departure. I hope you can help us with this."
Zhang Zhihao nodded, "Yes, that's not a problem. We can just sneak out by going east, so there's no need to worry."
"That's good." Sister Jing said, "Xiao Hao, no matter what happens next, I hope you can come back safely, okay?"
Zhang Zhihao laughed and said, "Sister Jing, can you have some faith in me? Do I look like such a fragile person?"
Sister Jing smiled and said, "I know you don't look like it, but I'm worried about you."
Zhang Zhihao wanted to say something, but I raised my hand to stop him and said, "Alright, stop arguing with Sister Jing. Sister Jing and I are worried about you. Why do you say so much? Just know that we are your support."
Zhang Zhihao smiled and said, "Yes, I know."
The three of us ate in silence for the rest of the meal. Jingjie seemed to find it a bit strange, so she asked, "By the way, Xiaohao, how far have things progressed between you and your girlfriend?"
Zhang Zhihao picked up a peanut with his chopsticks, but it suddenly bounced off and hit his face before finally falling into the bowl.
I glanced at Zhang Zhihao and noticed that the guy's face was flushed.
Jing and I exchanged a glance; the kid's expression said it all.
I said with a smile, "Looks like they scored?"
"Pfft!" Upon hearing my words, Sister Jing couldn't control herself and spat out the porridge in her mouth.
Zhang Zhihao instantly understood what I meant, and his ears turned red instantly!
"Hahaha, it seems I was right."
Zhang Zhihao was completely relieved at this moment. He shoveled the rest of the porridge into his mouth, put down the bowl, and said, "I'm finished eating. I'm leaving now!"
"Oh my, you're shy now. What's there to be shy about, you're a grown man!" I teased.
Zhang Zhihao didn't say a word and fled in panic.
Jing and I were laughing so hard we were doubled over in the room.
After all, Zhang Zhihao is only in his early twenties and probably has never been in a relationship before, so it's understandable that he would feel shy about such things in front of others.
However, after laughing, I felt a little lost.
How wonderful it would be if every day could be this warm and cozy.
Without much thought, Jing and I prepared to leave in the afternoon, so we started packing our things.
Besides that, there's something else I need Zhang Zhihao's help with.
Du Xu asked me to bring ten people to Jiajiang City. Three stayed at the school, and seven came to Jiangbei.
Since Jiangbei is fraught with danger, I need to have Zhang Zhihao bring these seven people out, preferably directly to Chen Yefei's place, which would be much safer.
Or you can leave with us today.
With that in mind, I said goodbye to Sister Jing and went straight out to catch up with Zhang Zhihao.
...
At 8:00 a.m., Sun Zichen finished his morning training and returned to his room.
He used to live with Wang Hao, but when he came back the night before last, he found that Wang Hao hadn't returned. He asked Zhang Zhihao, but Zhang Zhihao wouldn't tell him where Wang Hao had gone, so he was also helpless.
So for the past two days, he has been living alone in this slightly larger house. When he is alone, it always feels very empty, and he is even not used to sleeping at night.
So he's been having trouble sleeping for the past two days and is very upset.
"Ugh, I wonder where that bastard Wang Hao went, leaving me here all alone. Is that really appropriate? Honestly!"
He complained a few times, poured himself a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa to watch.
His patrol was in the afternoon today, so he was free all morning.
As he watched, he got a little bored and thought, "Should I find someone to play cards with?"
Knock knock knock.
Just as he was struggling with this decision, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"The door's unlocked, come in."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a familiar figure walked in.
Sun Zichen was a little surprised when he saw the person who came in. "Xiaoyu, what brings you here?"
The person who arrived was Zhang Zhihao's girlfriend, Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu smiled slightly, revealing two adorable dimples on her face.
"Someone asked me to deliver a letter to you, saying it contained some confidential information, so I haven't seen it. Here, take it." Mu Xiaoyu took out an envelope glued shut from her pocket and handed it to Sun Zichen.
Sun Zichen accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"It's alright, my main job is delivering letters and messages anyway. I've delivered the letter, goodbye then."
"Okay, goodbye."
Mu Xiaoyu left Sun Zichen's room.
Sun Zichen sat on the sofa, opened the envelope, and pulled out a piece of paper with only one sentence written on it—an order.
"I am Su Mu, Lao Sun. After receiving this letter, go and call Lu Jing to meet me in the basement outside the back door. We have important matters to discuss."
Sun Zichen didn't doubt the contents of the letter, nodded, and went out to find Lu Jing with the letter in his pocket.
Lu Jing lives in Zhang Zhihao's place, which is upstairs from him.
