Xiangdong stood in the crowd, looking at Li Xue on the stage, feeling both happy and unhappy. He was happy that Li Xue's ability was recognized by the base, but he was unhappy because her beauty was discovered by so many people.
He wanted to walk up to Li Xue and congratulate her, but when he thought about how Li Xue refused to see him yesterday, he felt very unsure, afraid that if he appeared in front of her without her consent, she would be even more unhappy.
Xiangdong shook his head, really not understanding his own thoughts. He was not used to the fear that she would be angry and that she would ignore him. He was already in his thirties, why was he still like a young boy who was just beginning to fall in love.
After returning from the square, Xiangdong casually got something to eat, and then walked towards the housing rental center. He had to find a house to settle down quickly. It was not a good idea to live in a hotel all the time. The room rate was expensive and the environment was not good. Besides, he wanted to set up a mercenary team in the future, so of course he had to get along well with those superpowers.
When he came to the house rental office, he ignored the surprised expressions of the staff, told them his rental requirements, paid a few crystal cores as management fees, and got a key to a one-bedroom and one-living room suite in Area B.
After solving the housing problem, Xiangdong prepared to go back to the hotel to pack his luggage.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the hotel, he saw Monkey leaning against the door of the hotel with a nonchalant look on his face.
When the monkey saw Xiangdong coming back, he quickly came to his side and said, "Boss, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. The sun is so bright that it's scorching. I wanted to go to your room to rest, but the hotel owner wouldn't allow it."
Xiangdong looked at the chattering monkey in confusion, "Why are you here? According to the military's punishment practices, you should still be in solitary confinement."
"Boss, can you not be so serious? I can't stand you." The monkey rolled his eyes impatiently. They were no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship. He no longer had to control his emotions and could finally complain about the boss at will.
"Don't change the subject. What's going on?" Xiangdong's tone was a little bad. It was definitely abnormal for the monkey to appear here at this time.
"Nothing, I escaped and was caught, and then I had a fight with the guys who caught me, and then I showed up here." The monkey said nonchalantly.
"You mean you are expelled from the army now?" Xiangdong stared at the monkey and scolded him loudly: "Nonsense!"
The monkey scratched his ears with his hands, shrugged nonchalantly: "Yeah, I also think I was fooling around, but it's too late to regret it now."
Xiangdong punched the monkey in anger: "What can I say about you! You have suffered so much over the years to achieve what you have today, why do you just do whatever you want? All the disciplines you learned are useless. "Is it in your belly?"
The monkey laughed and said nonchalantly, "Boss, are you allowed to give up everything for Sister Li Xue, but I am not allowed to join the army to follow you?" Then he smiled wickedly and said, "Boss, to be honest, I learned this from you! It's all your fault that you led me astray. I have nothing now. You have to be responsible for me! From now on, I will be yours." The monkey rubbed against Xiangdong while speaking, looking like a young wife who wanted Xiangdong to be responsible.
Xiangdong was speechless at first because of the monkey's words, but the monkey was so unruly that he was angry and amused. He had no choice but to push him away and said, "Wait here." After that, Xiangdong walked towards the hotel. Monkey got expelled from the army because of what he did just to follow him. He didn't know what to say. From now on, he could only be nicer to Monkey to make himself feel less guilty. He
returned to the room where he was staying temporarily, packed his few luggage, and went downstairs to check out.
When Monkey saw him coming out with his luggage, he yelled, "Boss, come on, I just said I want to follow you, and you're going to be homeless? Or are you going to take me around the world? That's possible!" Monkey said, with a dreamy expression on his face.
Xiangdong glared at him: "Can't you be normal? If you keep acting weird, I'll kick you out of the base."
Monkey patted his chest with a frightened expression: "Boss, can't you be a little gentler to me? Sister Li Xue won't like you being so fierce."
Xiangdong stopped and looked at Monkey dangerously, as if he was considering where to start so that he could kick him out of the base.
The monkey quickly put away his smile and stepped back several steps. When he reached a distance he thought was safe, he asked seriously, "Boss, where are we going?"
Xiangdong gave him a displeased look and said, "Area B, I rented a house there."
"Haha, I knew my boss wouldn't be so useless as to sleep on the street! Boss, please support me!" The monkey jumped up and down again.
Xiangdong couldn't help it in the end, and quickly stretched out his foot and kicked the monkey on the butt.
The monkey screamed and looked at Xiangdong with an accusing look on his face: Boss, you really came!
Liu Ming and Gao Yun returned to their residence with different expressions.
Gao Yun wiped the sweat off her head with a towel, and said to Liu Ming who was sitting on a chair as if thinking about something: "What do you think? I didn't lie to you. That woman is really Li Xue."
Liu Ming did not answer, and sat on the chair in silence.
Yesterday Gao Yun told him that she seemed to have seen Li Xue, but he did not believe it at all. How could such a cowardly person like Li Xue survive in this cruel apocalypse? But Gao Yun said clearly that she was definitely not dazzled. Although Li Xue had changed a lot, she was still about 70% similar to the original. If he saw her, he would definitely recognize her. What's more, she was accompanied by Haohao, so it was even more impossible for him to make a mistake.
This reminded him of the day before, when he was watching the excitement in Area B and found a child who looked 70% like Haohao in the team of superpowers who returned from City W. Could it be that the child was really Haohao, and the woman holding the child was really Li Xue?
When he thought of this possibility, he couldn't sit still. He knew that the base would never treat those who returned from City W badly. With all kinds of rewards and rising status, Li Xue's future life could be said to be very comfortable. And as her ex-husband, Haohao's father, he was living such a miserable life now, which made him feel a little unbalanced.
As a result, he heard this morning that the base was going to hold a commendation meeting for the superpowers who returned from City W, and he couldn't sit still anymore. Then he pulled Gao Yun and ran to the square, wanting to confirm whether the woman was Li Xue.
In the square, he really saw Li Xue. He never thought that his ex-wife Li Xue would become young and beautiful, and become such a powerful ice-type psychic, and even formed her own mercenary team! The move she made in the square just now shocked everyone.
