Hua Mulan stared wide-eyed at Mo Li, who was enjoying himself with his eyes closed, and immediately pushed him away, saying, "Mo Li, you, you frivolous fellow!"
Mo Li licked his lips, smacked his lips, and continued to sleep. Seeing Mo Li's completely oblivious sleeping face, Hua Mulan stomped her feet in anger, wishing she could push him off the bed.
After a moment, Mulan calmed down and sat on the edge of the bed. That unintentional kiss had actually made her heart flutter. Turning her head, she saw that her face was flushed with shyness, making her look incredibly cute.
"You got off easy this time, but if there's a next time... I'll..."
Mulan, who's showing off her fists, is absolutely adorable...
——
After the rain, the sun shone in, and Mo Li slowly opened his eyes to hear Hua Mulan's voice: "After dark, send troops to search for those barbarians. Remember, do not tell anyone about this!"
"Yes, General!"
After the soldiers withdrew, Mo Li blinked and looked at Hua Mulan, who was sitting at the table looking at the letter with a worried expression. She said with some heartache, "If you can't figure out the outcome, just let it develop naturally."
Hua Mulan was stunned. Looking at Mo Li, who was smiling at her, she recalled their absurd behavior last night and was immediately furious and embarrassed. "It's none of your business!"
Mo Li looked surprised. "Why are you suddenly so angry with me? I didn't say anything..."
Subconsciously licking her still-dry lips, the faint scent of her daughter lingering on them, Mo Li froze on the spot: "This, this beautiful dream from last night, could it be real?"
Seeing Mulan's downcast and troubled expression, Mo Li couldn't help but smile. He slowly got out of bed and came to Mulan's side. "If you're tired, take a good rest. We still have an operation tonight, don't we?"
Hua Mulan turned her head away, ignoring Mo Li. Mo Li scratched his head, unsure of what to do, so he simply sat down next to Hua Mulan and stared at her without moving. After a while, Hua Mulan finally couldn't help but shout, "What exactly do you want?"
Mo Li said awkwardly, "I... I just wanted to make sure you didn't overwork yourself. If you continued like this, I might even take it upon myself to help you solve some problems. Anyway, I'm not your soldier, and you can't control me. Besides..."
Mo Li said softly with a faint sadness on her face, "Besides, you wouldn't care whether I live or die..."
Upon hearing this, Mulan lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Who said...who said I didn't care about your life or death? If that were really the case, you would have died in the wilderness long ago!"
Mo Li tilted her head and looked at Mulan's shy expression, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Little Mulan, you're so cute when you're shy!"
Mulan slammed her hand on the table in anger, "Who are you calling 'Little Mulan'! Don't you know only pigs squeal like that?! Oh! So you're saying I'm stupid?"
Mo Li looked at the pouting, sulking Hua Mulan and paused for a moment, completely embodying the image of the former Hua Baixian. He couldn't help but smile gently, "Silly girl, in my eyes you're still that silly little girl..."
Hua Mulan stared blankly at Mo Li. "You...you knew everything?"
Mo Li looked at her with a smile. "What do you know, General Hua?"
Hua Mulan bit her lip, her face turning cold. "Get out!"
"Huh?" Mo Li looked completely bewildered.
Without a word, Mulan pushed Mo Li out of the tent, throwing out his clothes and medicine as well. The soldiers outside watched in astonishment as Mulan drove Mo Li out.
"You're not allowed in my tent anymore, do you hear me!" Mulan pointed angrily at Mo Li and said.
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his own tent without paying any attention to Mo Li, who was still confused about the situation.
"What... what's going on all of a sudden?" Mo Li scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Some people are not people you can just climb up to." A nonchalant voice suddenly sounded from behind Mo Li.
Turning around, Mo Li frowned slightly as she looked at Cheng Jin, who exuded an air of righteousness. "You don't seem to like me very much?"
Cheng Jin sneered, took a few steps to Mo Li's side, and said in a cold voice, "What a joke, why would I like a pretty boy like you? Do you think you can win General Hua's favor with your male prostitute-like face? You're really overestimating yourself!"
Mo Li frowned slightly, looked at Cheng Jin, and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to see me this way..."
Cheng Jin squinted and deliberately bumped into Mo Li. "Don't think that just because this face is a blessing from heaven, it might bring you unexpected disaster!"
After saying that, Cheng Jin went directly into Mulan's tent. Hearing the two talking happily outside the door, Mo Li couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart, not knowing how to vent it.
Perhaps I shouldn't have come back...
Mo Li took a deep look at the tent, shook his head, and prepared to temporarily move to stay with Elder Li.

"You think this is a place to raise a pampered prince? You're the only one in the entire camp who dares to be so presumptuous!" Li Jing was so angry that he glared at Mo Li, who was lying leisurely on the bed.
Mo Li said pitifully, "I'm injured like this, Mr. Li, don't you feel any pity for me at all?"
"Hmph, why should I feel sorry for you? You're not some beautiful young lady!" Li Jing said, pursing his lips.
Mo Li smiled wickedly, "So, Elder Li, you feel sorry for General Hua, don't you?"
“Nonsense, General Hua is…” Before he could finish speaking, Li Jing’s expression changed, and he looked at Mo Li with surprise. “How did you know that, kid?”
Mo Li smiled slightly, looking at the blooming peach blossoms in the distance outside the window without saying anything.
Li Jing squinted at Mo Li and said, "What are you pretending to be so profound for? Hurry up and tell me!"
"I knew it the moment I saw her," Mo Li said without any attempt to hide it. "I liked her at first sight..."
