Chapter 384 I'm too tired, I need to rest.
"The point is, you're wasting it! Even if you sell the potion to them, they'll be incredibly grateful to you. This is a top-grade potion that money can't buy. Giving it away makes it seem worthless, you know?"
"Okay, I understand," Qu Tong replied, following Old Yuan's words.
"Good to know. Don't be so generous in the future, it's heartbreaking." Seeing Qu Tong's good attitude, Old Yuan nodded in satisfaction on the other end of the communication.
"By the way, you promised to give me half the money, and you can't go back on your word."
Qu Tong: "..."
When Si Yuting returned home that evening, Qu Tong was already asleep.
Si Yuting raised his wrist and checked the time on his personal terminal.
8:45
So early?
Judging from his daily interactions with Ali, Ali is the type of person who habitually stays up late. As long as she has nothing to do the next day, it's common for her to go to bed at 11 or 12 o'clock.
According to Ali's twisted logic, she sleeps late and wakes up late every day, which is very regular and balanced. As long as she gets eight hours of sleep every day, she will not die suddenly.
If Ali were an ordinary person, he would have tried to dissuade her, but Ali was in good health and Jiang Zhou regularly checked her over, so he just let her be.
However, this does fit my daily routine better.
I turned around, went back to my room, took a quick shower, and then came back.
The starry sky stone emitted a cool light that shone on the girl's jade-like face. Her thick, curled eyelashes brushed against her lower eyelids, casting dappled shadows and giving her a sense of tranquility.
His gaze shifted to the side, where the spot that had been reserved for him was now half occupied by a large white goose, which was being held in its young wife's arms with both hands and feet.
Si Yuting used a little force to pull the big white goose out of Ali's arms and throw it on the ground.
He glanced indifferently at the white goose on the ground, then got into bed and pulled his sweet and soft wife into his arms.
The young wife was not awakened, only letting out two soft moans from her throat. She automatically found a suitable position, her delicate, boneless hands slipping under her pajamas along her waist, and her fair, slender legs draped over his.
Si Yuting's body felt a surge of heat from Qu Tong's shout and movement.
But in the end, he just sighed and did nothing.
I slept well all night.
The next day, Si Yuting came out of the training room and walked into the living room, his gaze pausing slightly.
Inside the living room, Butler Chi was adjusting the daily program for the housekeeping robot.
"Uncle Chi," Si Yuting called out to Butler Chi, "What activities did Madam have yesterday?"
Butler Chi stopped what he was doing and replied respectfully, "Madam went to school this morning and returned home around 5:30 in the afternoon. She tended to the vegetable garden for a while and then stayed upstairs after dinner."
Si Yuting tapped the back of his hand lightly with his index finger and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then he asked Qianqian to prepare breakfast, and he brought it up to Ali.
When I went upstairs, I found that Qu Tong was already awake and sitting on the bed, seemingly lost in thought.
Hearing footsteps, they turned around.
"Your Highness, when did you return?"
"Around 8:40," Si Yuting said casually, then called Qu Tong to get up and have breakfast.
Qu Tong said "Oh," and added, "Let me wash up first."
Qu Tong put on her slippers, quickly washed up in the bathroom, and came out.
There were shrimp for breakfast today, and Si Yuting had already peeled them and placed them on a white porcelain plate for her.
"Thank you, honey." Qu Tong sat down opposite Si Yuting and gave him a sweet smile.
Si Yuting glanced at her and then started eating his own portion.
After finishing their meal, Si Yuting pulled Qu Tong onto his lap, running his fingers through her hair. "Based on the time I got back, you slept almost two hours more than usual today."
He leaned closer and whispered, "Don't overwork yourself, take a rest."
Si Yuting knew that Qu Tong was helping Fei Wenxing and the others train. Ever since Qu Tong's mental power was exposed, he had been openly helping them improve their combat abilities, and occasionally he would accept sparring requests from Xuan Ping and the others.
In addition, Qu Tong, who didn't need to take the classes that required mental power for the mecha soldier system before, is now being included in them, and Han Song has even specially increased the difficulty for her.
Qu Tong had passed the exam for a higher grade, so she didn't need to attend these classes.
Ali's practical skills are so strong that there's very little that the school can teach her.
"Okay, I understand." Qu Tong obediently replied to Si Yuting's sudden concern.
I've been busy with sleep aids lately, and it's definitely taken a lot of mental effort.
"How's the Fifth Legion going?" With Si Yuting around, Qu Tong was too lazy to check the StarNet.
"It went very smoothly," Si Yuting briefly and concisely recounted the situation.
Those who caused trouble that day were given demerits and had their corresponding Glory Points deducted, and were sent back to the capital planet.
The news of Gong Yun's mental recovery has been confirmed, and the National Assembly has had no choice but to approve Gong Yun's recruitment application. An announcement will be released tomorrow.
With Qu Tong's actions, no one dared to question Gong Yun's ability to serve as the commander of the Fifth Army Corps.
As an important representative of the cooperation with the military, Lan Jianghong was said to have a face so dark it could drip ink after leaving the last meeting.

The conscription announcement caused another huge uproar.
Qu Tong also learned that many of the soldiers who had previously applied for discharge regretted it deeply when they learned that Gong Yun not only did not beg them to return, but also planned to recruit new soldiers and retrain them. They shamelessly applied for demobilization.
However, Gong Yun only approved the applications of a small number of ordinary soldiers with outstanding achievements, and rejected the applications of most soldiers and all officers.
This is probably a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
Qu Tong was overjoyed when she heard the news.
Serves you right!
Do you still consider this the same Lan family as before?
Ultimately, he stripped himself of the last bit of real power he held in the military.
This is so wonderful!
Following the devastating blow to the business world, the military has also been completely wiped out.
Every step was expected, yet every step brought unexpected surprises.
The conscription was in full swing when Xu An suddenly found Qu Tong and told her that he was going to enlist.
"Commander Gong said he would not serve as the commander of the Fifth Army Corps for long. He would promote and train anyone who was suitable to be the commander. In addition, there are more than a dozen positions at the level of second lieutenant or above in the Fifth Army Corps. This is a rare opportunity."
Xu An's eyes were firm as he shared the latest news he had received with Qu Tong.
After listening, Qu Tong stroked her chin and said, "That might be a bit difficult."
"?" Xu An was somewhat confused.
Qu Tong continued his analysis: "It seems that without an SS-rank, it's difficult to become the leader of a group and gain the respect of the people."
Qu Tong gave Xu An a serious look. "Even if you really have the ability, by the time you finally climb up, someone else might have already beaten you to it. After all, there are plenty of people with more ability and experience than you, and it's not impossible for someone to be parachuted in."
Xu An was stunned, feeling both amused and exasperated.
He also said that he had read all the conscription requirements and that he met them all. In addition, he had the advantage of being a military academy student and having Glory Points, so how could it be difficult?
"Sister, you're overthinking it. It's already good enough to be one of those dozen or so military positions."
He doesn't have that much ambition yet.
Qu Tong suddenly realized she had misunderstood and gave an awkward smile: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."
Xu An smiled and said, "I'll try my best."
