An Moxue was speechless. They were just chatting casually, how did they end up talking about marriage, and how did they end up talking about her agreeing? She didn't know, and she herself didn't even realize that she was not opposed to marrying him.
An Moxue rolled her eyes so hard they almost popped out the window, and said irritably, "How come I didn't know? Don't try to trick me with your words."
Wu Sicheng, unusually good-tempered, said, "No, it's just that we got carried away with our conversation!" He would never admit that he had played a little trick.
Endless waiting can make people irritable. He considered himself an ordinary man, not a saint, and couldn't be without desires.
Knowing that she wouldn't object to marrying him, he was content and had the motivation to keep waiting. After all, they were both people who had dedicated themselves to the country, and personal gains and losses were always secondary when it came to the country. This was also his belief.
An Moxue regretted eating this meal, feeling like she was being clung to by Wu Sicheng. "Eat quickly, finish all the fish, then go back to sleep!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll rest when we get back, get well soon, and work hard to get promoted."
An Moxue cursed inwardly: "Scheming man."
Men are all dogs.
I don't want to talk to him anymore. Let him say whatever he wants! Let him think whatever he wants.
Anyway, I'm busy, I don't have time!
Wu Sicheng knew that An Moxue was getting impatient with him, but she wasn't really angry, so he stopped talking and focused on eating.
A few minutes later, the food was all gone. He smiled and said, "Mo Xue, I'm done eating. Is there anything you'd like to eat tomorrow?"
An Moxue shook her head and asked, "Is this case no longer your concern?"
"That's all, everything has been handed over." What he didn't say was that, in order to find her, he had arranged everything else, not even caring about military merits, only focused on finding her.
Now that he has found her, he just wants to spend a few days with her wholeheartedly, since they don't know when they will see each other again.
However, he will probably be very busy after returning to the team, since a nationwide crackdown is inevitable.
Upon hearing his explanation, An Moxue understood what was going on.
I wasn't angry, I wasn't heartbroken, I wasn't touched. It was just a bit complicated, and even the way I looked at him felt a little strange.
He noticed her unusual behavior and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
An Moxue replied dismissively, "No, I just want to go to sleep early."
"Okay, I'll go out now. You should get some rest." As she walked to the door, she turned back and asked, "Oh, by the way, what kind of medicinal herbs do you want? I'll go to the pharmacy first and take a look. Once you're awake, we can go straight to the mountains."
"No need. In some places, you only know which herbs you want when you see them at the pharmacy. I'll go by myself tomorrow."
"Okay." Wu Sicheng left the room and returned to his own room.
He had just sat down when Wang Wei and Li Deren came over. He suspected they were watching him, otherwise why would they come so soon after he sat down?
"Speak! What is it!" In front of his subordinates, he once again adopted a cold and distant demeanor, causing the two men who had originally wanted to gossip about their commander to put aside their thoughts and not dare to speak carelessly.
The two men exchanged glances, and in the end, Li Deren asked the question. Otherwise, he was afraid that Wang Wei, who spoke without thinking, might offend their regimental commander and cause them to suffer again.
"Commander, what do we do next?" Wu Sicheng was so happy to have found An Moxue that he forgot about these two people. After the handover of work these days, it was they who helped him find An Moxue.
"In that case, I will stay here for a few more days, but for personal reasons. You can go back to your units first. After you get back, rest as soon as possible, as there may be new missions soon."
When the mission was mentioned, both of their eyes lit up. "Captain?"
"Don't worry, you'll have plenty of opportunities to earn merit. The real deal is to hone your skills. So, go back to your units tomorrow and get ready. It'll be starting soon after I get back."
Li Deren said, "Commander, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Okay, you don't need to report to me tomorrow morning, just go. I need to catch up on my sleep." Wu Sicheng glanced at the two of them.
Li Deren understood, grabbed Wang Wei and stood up, saying, "Commander, you should rest early, we're going back." After saying that, he grabbed Wang Wei and left the room.
Wang Wei glanced at Wu Sicheng, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Li Deren.
Back in their house, Wang Wei asked, puzzled, "What are you doing! We haven't even asked about the hummingbird yet! Why did you come out?"
Li Deren said with exasperation, "You still want to ask? What do you want to ask? Didn't you see that the regimental commander thought we were in the way and sent us back to the unit? Aren't you afraid that if you ask something inappropriate, the regimental commander will punish you? Why aren't you leaving? We just need to know that Hummingbird is safe and sound. There's nothing more to it." He didn't want to say it, but he was really afraid that he would hold him back.
"And another thing! When we get back, don't gossip about the commander and Hummingbird. Especially since Hummingbird's department is special, it's not something we can gossip about. Look at this incident, you can tell Hummingbird's identity isn't simple. Didn't you see how many people the Lion Corps mobilized to search for him? You need to be more careful! It's only because you're under the commander that you don't have to deal with so many complicated things. If you were under someone with a more cunning mind, you wouldn't be in a good place." Li Deren felt that he was worrying about this a lot, even more than Wang Wei's parents.
Wang Wei was unconvinced, but remembering how kind the regimental commander usually treated her, she swallowed her anger and said nothing more, only, "I'll listen to you." But no matter how she listened, it sounded somewhat sullen.

The next morning, the guesthouse was bustling with people, and the rooms weren't soundproof, so she couldn't sleep until she woke up naturally and was awakened by the noise from the corridor.
After getting up, I took a walk around and washed up. I still hadn't seen Wu Sicheng. Just as I was about to go out to buy some breakfast, I saw her coming back with a bag of things.
Wu Sicheng asked, "Why are you awake?"
An Moxue said, "It's not quiet. Why are you up so early?"
Wu Sicheng smiled slightly: "I'm used to it, so I've never slept in late. When I was a child, I wanted to sleep in, but my elders wouldn't allow it. Now, even if I want to sleep, I can't. My biological clock is fixed, more accurate than a watch."
He held up what he was holding and said, "I bought you breakfast. It's hot so it won't taste bad if it gets too hot."
"Okay, have you eaten?" The two walked back.
“I ate it. If I had known you were awake, I would have brought it back and eaten it with you. It’s a local breakfast, very special. Do you like it? If not, I’ll make it for you tomorrow morning.”
"Let's try it first. This is the first time I've eaten here since we arrived!" An Moxue said. The two of them had already entered the room. Wu Sicheng opened the bag, took out the lunchbox and steamed buns inside, and said, "It is said that these steamed buns are made with cured pork and preserved mustard greens, and are called preserved mustard greens and cured pork buns. Try them. This porridge is also vegetable porridge, and it is savory, which is different from what we have in the north."
An Moxue took a bite of the steamed bun, her eyes lit up, "Hmm, I really like it!"
I scooped up another spoonful of porridge; it was a bit salty, but it was alright.
Wu Sicheng took in her expression and said, "If you don't like porridge, then don't eat it. Have some steamed buns with malted milk powder! Wait for me to make you a cup." With that, he left the room.
