Only by remembering can one analyze. Only by analyzing can one use the wisdom that one possesses to the limit. Although it is difficult for Xia Wan to find flaws and loopholes in the plans made by the bigwigs with her strength, she must try it, otherwise how can she know that she can't do it?
Although the time from eight o'clock in the morning to midnight is not short, even if there are many people making a plan in a day, there will be some things that are not considered clearly. There are still seven days before the first batch of three batches of troops are dispatched, including three days for gathering, four days for reorganization, and then going to various places. What Xia Wan has to do is to find the loopholes in the plan during this period of time and fix them.
The more you use your brain, the more flexible it becomes. Xia Wan understood this simple truth, so she cheered herself up secretly. However, she didn't notice that her mother's hand was waving in front of her eyes for several times. Seeing her mother's distressed look, she smiled slightly. But this smile made her eyes wrinkle.
"Wan'er, look at you, you are exhausted. Go wash up and have a rest. Go to the palace later tomorrow."
Xia Wan never refused her mother. She nodded slightly and walked back to her room with light steps, but she did not go to bed immediately. Instead, she wrote down the things she thought were important. This writing lasted for a long time. Xiao Rong, who was walking by the window, saw her and did not disturb her. She just left in a hurry and let her continue with her work.
Xiao Rong went to bed earlier than Xia Wan after returning to her room. Tomorrow morning, she had to get up to count the food and fodder sent to Jianglong Pass. But there were always some people who hadn't returned to their rooms at this time, such as... Ah Zhu!
Outside the peach forest, on the edge of the cliff, there was a small pavilion. Ah Zhu sat on the steps, with her back to the eleven people who were having a heated discussion in the pavilion. She hugged her knees, put her very unhappy cold face on them, and soon fell asleep. She was too sleepy to be energetic, only her little mouth was still pouting, as if she was always expressing accusations and dissatisfaction.
Ever since she heard Brother Tianming say that she saw Xia Xiao's face in the peach forest this morning, Ah Zhu rushed in and wandered around for an hour before finding this small pavilion. She didn't expect to wait until now. During this period, she also saw Xia Xiao, but he didn't see her because he was squeezed among the seniors.
Ah Zhu had hoped countless times that Xia Xiao would look into her eyes, but until he was carried away, her little wish had not come true. Ah Zhu wanted to go back so badly and get the approval of Senior Di Muli, so she had been waiting here, not wanting to waste time, even if she could go back a minute earlier. But she didn't expect that she would wait until now, and it wasn't over yet!
Even though Ah Zhu was asleep, her eyes were wet. She felt so wronged. If she had known, she would have eaten lunch and dinner before coming. She only had breakfast once a day. Now she was almost starving, but they hadn't finished talking. Why are they talking so much? Haven't they talked before? It's so annoying!
Normally at this time, she should be satisfied with the fried duck leg rice at noon and the big wontons at night in the cafeteria, and then fall asleep in the thought of Xia Xiao. But now she can't even get on the bed, and can only sit on the cold steps. It's so annoying. How can there be such a miserable person? I just want to get a word of approval, but it has never been realized. Senior Dimu Li has been standing there before, and didn't say much. The rest of the time he was in a daze. Why can't he take two minutes to listen to what I have to say?
In a daze, Ah Zhu was still complaining in her dreams. But soon, she rode on her little narwhal, left Tongtian Peak in an instant, rushed into the clouds, and headed northeast. She would ride the whale to find Xia Xiao and return to him. She couldn't wait to tell Xia Xiao that she really missed him.
If Ah Zhu hadn't been afraid of being discovered by the newly appointed patrol guards in the air, she would have left long ago. But without Xia Xiao by her side, Ah Zhu didn't have the courage to do so. But this was too much. She had waited for more than ten hours, and what was she still talking about? It was so annoying!
Ah Zhu seemed to hear them talking, and they were all talking about some plan. It seemed that the academy had to pay a lot, several times more than other forces. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. What can you say? Suddenly, these voices disappeared. Ah Zhu didn't like to hear them, so she just disappeared. But she suddenly thought that if everyone left, wouldn't she have waited in vain? Therefore, she suddenly opened her eyes and stood up. Fortunately, Senior Di Muli was still there.
After a long period of thinking, even Dimuli's face showed some fatigue. He stood straight, but Ah Zhu bowed and begged:
"Senior, I finally got you. I want to ask for your permission. I want to go to Daxia Zhenxun. Can I leave now?"
Ah Zhu was only a small-time man, but if he left now, he could reach Daxia Zhenxun tomorrow morning. She thought Di Muli would agree to her request without hesitation and console her by saying that he had kept her waiting for a long time, but this tactless middle-aged man just pinched his sore nose, yawned, and said:
"Want to leave? Impossible."
Under the pavilion with lanterns hanging, only Dimuli was left. His face was full of reluctance, which made Ah Zhu burst into tears. His eyes, which were not yet dry, soon turned red, and his crying voice made Dimuli flustered. He had never seen a student dare to cry in front of him like this, and even wrapped his legs around him. How bold!
"If you didn't want me to leave, just say so earlier. It's already so late, ah wuwu..."
Dimuli was just raising his foot, but was pressed down by Azhu, which was very troublesome. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he was tired, and Azhu couldn't hear what he said at all, so he finally gave up and said:
"How about this, I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning, how about that? Anyway, it's not realistic for you to leave now, it's too late, it's better to leave during the day. You go back and rest first, I have too much to do today, I can't even sleep all night, you should be considerate of me."
Ah Zhu was still soft-hearted and quickly agreed, but before agreeing, he asked:
"Senior, will you let me go?"
"If it were anyone else, there would be no room for negotiation. Your situation is special, and Xia Xiao really needs you, so I will let you go. But don't worry, get some sleep first."
"real?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
Ah Zhu's crying stopped abruptly, and she only choked a few times. She no longer shamelessly clung to Di Muli, and after saying good night, he waved her back to her room.
Amidst Doudou's two excited cries, Ah Zhu crawled into bed. She was so sleepy that she didn't want to wash up at all. It was okay not to wash her face, but she would die if she didn't sleep.
"Doudou, I will be able to see Xia Xiao tomorrow, are you happy?"
Doudou responded with a very small cry and let Azhu hold it in his arms. Then it struggled out of the extremely uncomfortable embrace and curled up on the edge of her bed.
Ah Zhu did not force it, with a smile on her face. Xia Xiao worked so hard, she must take care of him when he needed her. But for some reason, Ah Zhu vaguely felt that Senior Di Muli would not let her go so easily. She was not special enough to use her privileges openly. After all, this was a special period.
