What does it feel like to wake up in a completely new place?
Qingyin tells you that she almost thought she had traveled through time again.
"You're awake!" The little boy in black clothes and with a dark face was also smiling as he leaned over the headboard and stared at him. His infectious smile made people feel even closer to him.
Qingyin: "...?"
The little boy seemed to realize he hadn't introduced himself yet. "Hello, my name is Number Nine. You're really good-looking. What's your code name? Hahaha, I forgot I can't speak. Don't worry, there are other people in our camp who can't speak either. They'll teach you sign language."
Qingyin nodded blankly.
Number Nine smiled and cheerfully opened the wooden box on the other table.
"Come and eat, little brother. This is your first time here. The leader prepared this for you. Eat quickly, we still have to go to training later."
Qingyin realized that the emperor must have sent him to the White Tiger Camp.
Without the eunuchs and maids to serve her, Qingyin hurriedly changed her clothes.
On the simple table sat a huge food box. Qingyin could tell from the pile of colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes inside—a dish that didn't seem like something a secret guard would serve him—that the emperor had prepared a special meal for him.
Qingyin paused, then laid out all the food.
Due to the limited space of the table, many of the dishes from the box ended up filling the entire table.
Looking at the food that was clearly too much to finish, Qingyin glanced at Number Nine, who was swallowing hard, and gestured with her finger: "Let's eat together?"
Although Qingyin doesn't know how to use sign language to express eating, Number Nine still understands the simple eating gestures.
He glanced reluctantly at the dazzling array of food, remembering the leader's instructions. He forced himself to suppress his urge to eat, turned his head away, and said reluctantly, "Little brother, you eat. You're too thin. Eat more."
Qingyin had no choice but to start using it. However, when eating, she made sure not to dirty the food and only filled the bowl with the amount of porridge she could finish, since there would be someone else who would use it if she couldn't finish it.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Qingyin finished eating and stopped using her chopsticks. Number Nine then noticed that there was a lot of food left over.
Without Qingyin's further persuasion, the dark-skinned, thin little boy started eating the leftovers without much effort.
He didn't feel undignified at all. The little boy had a great appetite. Compared to Qingyin, who ate in small bites, Number Nine ate quickly and voraciously, finishing the leftovers in no time.
Qingyin was dumbfounded; it was the first time he had ever seen someone with such a good appetite in this world.
After finishing eating, Number Nine quickly pulled Qingyin and ran to the training area.
On the way, Qingyin, whose body was not used to much exercise and was pampered, was panting heavily as she ran.
After thinking for a moment, the little boy picked up Qingyin and ran to the training ground.
"Little brother, you're still young," she said, comforting the pretty little brother who was being held while she hugged the boy.
Qingyin, who was hastily picked up, felt a breath of cold air in his mouth. Oh well, he's still young, so I'll just hold him.
Qingyin nestled comfortably in the arms of the boy who was older than her. Because they were so close, her breath tickled the boy's neck.
Number Nine was jolted by the uncomfortable feeling and almost tripped and fell to the ground, but fortunately, his usual training helped him regain his balance.
However, a special feeling arose in his heart. Perhaps this is what it feels like to have family. Number Nine felt a warmth rise in his heart when he thought about how he had no family members in his memory. From now on, he would have a younger brother. Hehe.
Keeping a close eye on the time, Yue, the dark guard in charge of training the children this time, is a beautiful, aloof, and expressionless older sister.
She looked at the group of well-trained children standing ramrod straight in front of her and said expressionlessly, "One more person is needed?"
The handsome, rugged-looking boy leading the front row revealed a hint of schadenfreude: "Report, Moon Guard, Number Nine hasn't arrived yet!"
Yue looked at Number Ten, who had snitched, her fingers twitching slightly as if she wanted to punch him. "Number Ten, for violating unity, ten pounds, ten laps."
As soon as Moonguard finished speaking, people around him cast sympathetic glances at Number Ten.
"No way, Moonguard, isn't this the question you asked us?" Number Ten asked incredulously.
His response was the cold voice of the Moon Guard: "Twenty laps."
"Damn it!" Number Ten cursed under his breath, afraid that the female demon in front of him would hear him. He glared back at the pitying gazes around him. Ha, he, Number Ten, was a man of integrity. He would definitely get a code name in the future and wouldn't need anyone's pity.
"Hmph, since Number Nine is going to suffer along with him anyway, he won't complain. He'll laugh at him when he goes for a run," Number Ten thought to himself.
Hearing the familiar name, Yue remembered that the leader had said there was one more child to train, and asked Number Nine to come over again.
Yue didn't understand why a bodyguard needed another bodyguard to accompany him, but she didn't have the extra curiosity to ask the leader.
When Number Nine carried Qingyin over, he found Number Ten, who was usually honest and looked down on him, running around in circles covered in sandbags, panting heavily.
Meanwhile, the forty children, who were roughly the same age, were already practicing horse stance under the training of the Moon Guards.
Seeing this, Number Nine couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Report, Moonguard, Number Nine, return to the team."
The indifferent Moon Guard turned his head to look at the familiar Number Nine and the much smaller child in his arms, and couldn't help but frown.
Are these kids who were suddenly crammed into the class? They're so young?
Noticing the Moon Guard's gaze, Number Nine realized that Qingyin, whom he had been holding in his arms, was being basked in the scorching sun. He instinctively couldn't bear to let Qingyin out.
