"You sleep. There's food in the space. I'm not going anywhere."
She leaned forward and kissed the man's empty eyes. Sure enough, he stared at her intently for a while, then closed his eyes and tilted back, the movement all in one smooth motion.
Does this person need one eye to stand guard and the other to keep watch while they sleep?
Ruan Xianxian was both annoyed and amused.
I was just about to wash up and have something to eat when I turned on the radio to hear any news about the island nation.
Communication was difficult for them on the ship, and they were eager to know how the Dwarf Army had explained the thousands of casualties they suffered at the island fortress to the people.
Was the sinking of the Danganronpa notified to the outside world?
If so, how did the country of dwarfs manage to deceive the public?
Just as Miyano stepped into the bathroom, the phone on the bedside table rang, but she didn't react at all.
Ruan Xianxian walked back and answered the phone. A woman's voice with standard Mandarin came from the other end.
They asked if they were disturbing anyone, as a comrade surnamed Yang had come several times and waited for a long time. They asked if they could meet him.
Ruan Xianxian smiled. "Look, this is the Ministry of the Interior's method. They let you see their sincerity without you even realizing it, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth."
Knowing that a mayor made multiple trips over two days, patiently waiting downstairs, who wouldn't be confused?
If she had received this kind of treatment in her past life, she would probably dig out her true feelings and present them to the other person.
If it were Feng Guang, he would probably send his men to stay in the hotel and keep a close watch, only personally going to their door if there was any trouble.
The former does indeed make people feel more cheerful.
"Okay, I'll pack up and come downstairs."
As soon as the words "go downstairs" left her lips, Miyano's raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled, her eyelids lifted slightly, and a trace of weariness remained in her eyes.
But Ruan Xianxian could tell that this time the person was truly awake.
His soft, bewildered, and watery eyes fell on her, and Ruan Xianxian loved him to death. She pounced on him and gave him a kiss.
"Wake up, wash up and come downstairs for dinner. This is the first time I've come to Haishi without any worries. After we finish eating, let's go for a walk outside."
Miyano blinked several times to fully wake up, then wrapped his arms around her, his voice slightly hoarse, "Sleepy!"
"Why don't you keep sleeping, and I'll go downstairs to check?" Ruan Xianxian found it amusing; the fact that the call was made upstairs meant there must be an emergency on their end.
Otherwise, given the cunning of these people, they could let her sleep forever and come eight times a day, making her feel even more guilty when she finds out.
Ruan Xianxian thought that the methods used by those in power were all things she had already used before.
Wait, she scratched her head. When had she ever been in a position of power?
Hearing that she wanted to go downstairs by herself, Miyano's eyes cleared instantly. She strode into the bathroom to take a quick shower, then turned around to get dressed, all in just six minutes.
Ruan Xianxian, who was still dawdling and choosing a dress, was dumbfounded.
Seeing her slightly open mouth and her stunned expression, Miyano paused in her haphazardly drying her short hair with a towel.
He raised an eyebrow and looked over. "I'm used to the military schedule. Do you want me to serve you, little fairy, while you wash up and change?"
Ruan Xianxian raised her chin high and extended a hand, "Here!"
The girl looked down at him with an arrogant expression. Gong Ye stopped all his movements and looked at him with a calm and deep gaze. After a moment, he picked her up and carried her horizontally. Ruan Xianxian smiled and patted him.
"It's all ruined! It's all ruined!"
By the time the two had finished getting ready and appeared in the reception room on the top floor for important guests, an hour had already passed.
The door was wide open, and the sound of little leather shoes clicking on the ground filled the air.
The first thing that catches the eye is a bright, pale yellow figure with her hair braided back with a headband that is currently popular among socialites in Haicheng.
Her full forehead was exposed, her skin was delicate and fair, her bone structure was perfect, and her lips were naturally red. This made the group of big shots in the hall, who were chatting and laughing, fall silent.
A kind of undisguised amazement shone through his eyes.
Everyone loves beautiful things, and even if the people present are from different generations, it doesn't prevent people from appreciating beautiful things.
Just as the reception room fell into an eerie silence, footsteps sounded again, and a powerful calf encased in a military boot entered this beautiful scene.
The moment Miyano appeared, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. With a cold glance, the admiring or lewd looks on the table instantly disappeared.
Ruan Xianxian glanced to her side. This person always dressed her up beautifully, but didn't like people looking at her. What a contradiction!
It has to be said that with Miyano back by her side, her life has become much more refined.
During the time I was back in Beijing, my eyes were dry the moment I opened them!
Grandma was afraid she would get cold, so she changed her several cotton-padded jackets back and forth. Her braids were often braided crookedly, and she was almost wiping her nose with her sleeve. Her appearance was comparable to that of a snotty-nosed child in the countryside.
Leader Yang was the first to come to his senses, laughing heartily as he stood up and stretched out a hand from afar, walking over enthusiastically and quickly.
"Comrade Ruan, look at my eyes! I almost didn't recognize you after adjusting them. Come in and sit down."
"Come, let me introduce you. The comrade next to me is surnamed Li, and the young man next to him is surnamed Sun. Both of them are from Jinan."
He smiled and pointed to the people around him, "I know you've been traveling for many days and have had a hard time. If it weren't for the fact that you two are guests who have come from afar, I really wouldn't have had the heart to disturb your rest."
Listen to that, listen to that, it's like subtly sowing discord.
The man surnamed Li's eyes flashed, and he reached out a hand to lightly touch Ruan Xianxian's fingertips, smiling as he continued the conversation.
"Look at me, I was so focused on the heroes' triumphant return and on receiving them with the highest honors that I forgot that my comrades also needed time to rest."
Old Yang knew everything, yet he didn't even offer a word of warning. It was my fault; I'll punish myself with three drinks later.
The two set traps for each other and exchanged witty remarks. Ruan Xianxian was happy to watch the show and warmly shook hands and greeted a group of leaders.
The Zhongshan suit was impeccably tailored, with patches covering the easily worn edges, which made Ruan Xianxian click her tongue in slight astonishment.
One of them was a middle-aged man who even had to wrap the temples of his glasses with tape. He was very old-fashioned and simple in every way. Ruan Xianxian's gaze lingered on him the longest.
Tsk! If she hadn't said anything, who would have guessed that there were several leaders from various gangs standing in there?
Duan Anjin and the others, who had arrived earlier, sat in their original spots and watched the spectacle unfold.
Once ashore, the bigwigs left immediately, leaving behind a few others who were also seriously injured and needed to recover. They'd seen all sorts of powerful officials before, and they weren't interested in this kind of invitation with ulterior motives.
So apart from Ruan Xianxian and Gong Ye, the rest of the attendees were young people from Bureau 749 who loved to have fun and join in the excitement.
Leader Yang wanted to invite the two of them to take a seat, but neither Ruan Xianxian nor Gong Ye agreed. They were being given face, and they couldn't let themselves get carried away.
Yang Fen glanced around with his shrewd little eyes, subtly taking control of the entire room. Ruan Xianxian, who was at the head of the table, did not sit down, and so did he. The group sat around the round table opposite each other.
Yang Fen pointed to each dish on the table and introduced them one by one.
"Sizzling eel, sea cucumber with shrimp roe, hairy crab in soy sauce, and crab roe tofu..."
The chef started preparing last night. Since you've come all this way, please be sure to try our restaurant's authentic Shanghainese cuisine and offer any feedback.
As the host, he was the first to pick up his chopsticks, followed by the two people from Jinan, and then Ruan Xianxian.
Yang Fen wanted to say something polite.
The young man surnamed Sun from Jinan was already impatient and interrupted rudely, speaking in a straightforward manner without any provocation.
"Comrade Ruan, after experiencing the Type 051 destroyer firsthand, what are the most noticeable differences between it and American warships?"
