"Mom, you go ahead, I won't run around." Xiaoxue was as sensible as ever.
Qu Tong patted her head, closed the door slightly, and went out.
After Qu Tong left, Xiao Xue went to the bookshelf and scanned the neatly arranged books.
This wasn't her first time in her father's office; she had read almost all the books, except for a few on the top shelf.
Xiaoxue moved a stool over, looked around, and picked up the thickest book on the far right.
When the book was taken out, it wasn't as wide as I had imagined.
Xiaoxue looked at the spot where she had just put the book with a puzzled expression and found a glass jar inside.
Why did Dad hide the jar behind the book?
Xiaoxue took the jar down; inside was just an ordinary spatial ring and a few rolls of paper—nothing unusual.
Curious, I opened the jar and took out a piece of paper, which I then unfolded.
"There are words."
“All that I think of are stars and rivers.”
"Stars, rivers, all are you."
Just then, a noise came from the doorway.
Si Yuting happened to walk in and heard this, his gaze falling on the glass jar on the table.
Xiaoxue held up the note in her hand and asked him, "Dad, who wrote this to you?"
Xiaoxue pouted, her eyebrows furrowed in the middle, her expression carrying a hint of accusation as if she had caught her husband cheating.
Si Yuting walked over, took the note from Xiaoxue's hand, and looked at the cute handwriting on the note, a tender feeling unconsciously emanating from his brows.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoxue's alarm bells went off!
Could this be a love token given to him by his father's first love?!
"This is a love letter your mother wrote to me."
Xiaoxue swallowed the words "scumbag" that she was about to utter.
However, Xiaoxue quickly noticed something amiss, "Wait! This isn't Mom's handwriting!"
Si Yuting carefully rolled up the note, tied it with a thin string, and then reached inside to put the rolled-up paper back into the glass jar.
The level of care they showed was as if they were handling a very precious treasure.
Then she took out another roll of paper, unfolded it, and said to Xiaoxue, "Your mother knows two kinds of calligraphy, and you are learning this kind."
Thinking back to how Ah Li's move had dispelled his doubts, Si Yuting couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
When it snowed, I went over to take a look and saw the elegant, flowing handwriting, just like the one my mother taught me.
Now I believe it.
Si Yuting placed the paper roll in place, closed the lid, and put it back on the top layer.
"Don't tell your mother," Si Yuting earnestly instructed.
"Why?" Xiaoxue asked, puzzled.
Si Yuting's eyes flickered. "Let your mother find out for herself."
"Oh~" Xiaoxue suddenly realized, "I understand!"
Only when Mom discovers for herself how much Dad loves him and still keeps the love letters he wrote when he was pursuing him will she be moved to tears.
Si Yuting didn't know what Xiaoxue had understood, but he chose not to continue the topic.
Qu Tong wrote a letter, and Si Yuting took Xiao Xue with him to Jiang Zhou's treatment room.
After several days of observation and testing, it was confirmed that Xiaoxue's awakened ability is a type of domain ability, although it is still very weak at present, but it is not a problem to deal with some low-level insectoids.
Qu Tong felt a little regretful that neither Si Yuting nor her wood-type ability was inherited.
Deep down, she still hoped that someone would inherit her wood-type superpower.
I wonder if Xiao Yi or Xiao Jin will ever awaken wood-type abilities in the future.
The fact that they awakened their superpowers at the age of 4 was too shocking, so the two decided not to reveal it to the public for the time being and to wait until they were older.
It just so happens that no one saw Xiaoxue secretly go to catch the Zerg last time.
Jiang Zhou became the only one who knew this secret, and he was itching to tell it, but had nowhere to confide in, so he could only read more books and try to improve himself.
Two years later, Xiaoxue suddenly disappeared!
Video calls are unreachable, and messages sent out seem to disappear without a trace.
They disappeared without any explanation or news.
For a time, everyone at Yuelan Bay was extremely anxious.
When the news reached the palace, Si Chen immediately issued the highest order, dispatching the royal guards to help with the search.
Inside the study at Yue Lan Bay, Si Yuting stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the light from the projected screen illuminating his overly cold and aloof face.
The air in the room felt particularly oppressive.
"Okay, as soon as possible!"
After gathering his men, Si Yuting hung up the personal terminal and walked towards Qu Tong, whose face was gloomy: "Ali, it's okay. Xiaoxue has been smart since she was a child. Even if she encounters trouble, she will protect herself first."
"I know." Qu Tong nodded, but her eyes remained cold.
After Xiaoxue was able to walk, she followed her and Si Yuting on adventures everywhere, and they were also training her intentionally or unintentionally.
She had no doubt about Xiaoxue's ability to adapt to danger; what she feared was that some people would be reckless and try to harm her.
If Xiaoxue suffers even the slightest loss, she will make sure they are torn to pieces.
Si Yuting comforted Qu Tong a couple more times, then took her with him to the military headquarters to handle the matter personally.
On the way, Qu Tong planned to send a message to Liang Ge and Lin Yumo, asking them to keep an eye out for her.
That's when the news from Cyprus came in.
Qu Tong stared at the screen for a few seconds, then turned to Si Yuting and said, "No need to look anymore, Xiaoxue has been taken away by Saipu."
Si Yuting was also stunned for a moment, then remembered that Xiaoxue's disappearance did indeed coincide with the time of the transaction between the two races not long ago, but he did not participate in that transaction. He did not expect that Saipu had secretly come to the capital star.
Qu Tong showed Si Yuting the news about Saipu and said, "Then let's go back."
Now that we know where Xiaoxue is, there's no point in going to the military headquarters.
"Okay." Si Yuting nodded and turned the car around in a suitable spot.
Although Cyprus's message was provocative, the two men were temporarily relieved.
As long as they aren't kidnapped by some inhumane laboratory to conduct illegal research, that's fine.
Compared to the simple-minded Zerg, the insidious humans are far more terrifying.
Seeing Saipu's smug comment, Qu Tong still replied: "You'd better make sure Xiaoxue returns safely, otherwise, next time she comes to collect the potion, it won't be as simple as getting a beating from His Highness."
"Who's afraid of him?" Saipu said, though his words were not what they truly meant.
But soon Qu Tong received a voice message through the Cypress chat window; when she opened it, it was Xiao Xue's voice:
"Mom and Dad, don't worry about me. The environment here is quite unique. I've decided to train here for a while before coming back. You two can enjoy your time together. With this flower butterfly... mmm mmm..."
Qu Tong: "..."
Si Yuting: "..."
Cyprus clearly cut off what followed.
Xiaoxue's cheerful tone suggested that nothing was wrong, and she seemed to be enjoying herself.
Since nothing was wrong, Qu Tong didn't worry too much. She and Si Yuting had never interfered much with their daughter's personal opinions.
Xiaoxue has a special constitution and is immune to insect venom. Despite her young age, she is also warlike. Cypu kidnapped her, and it is unknown whose disaster this was.
Before long, Xiaoxue's personal computer was also working, and she would occasionally let them know she was safe and sound, and sometimes even send them some photos. (End of this chapter)
