It would be a lie to say that Wu Sicheng wasn't disappointed when An Moxue rejected his confession. After experiencing death once again, his understanding of certain things had changed. He had finally mustered up the courage to confess, only to be rejected. But since the person was An Moxue, he felt that it was only natural. She was someone who clearly distinguished between love and hate and didn't want to trouble or implicate others.
He wanted to give her a more legitimate reason to help, but she refused, so he would have to do it secretly from now on.
Being rejected after confessing her feelings is certainly heartbreaking, but it seems she feels more sorry for and admires her. However, these feelings seem insignificant in the face of the difficulties she faces. What could be more important than eliminating the dangers around her? After all, when it comes to survival, everything else seems trivial.
Wu Sicheng smiled and said, "Okay! It seems I haven't tried hard enough to make you like me. I will try harder."
But An Moxue felt that his smile was a little forced. She looked at him, opened her mouth several times as if to say something, but in the end she only said one sentence: "Why bother!"
She wasn't the type to make things difficult for herself or others. She was just thinking that they were both busy, and while they were lucky to meet in Puda this time, who knew when they would meet again? He was different from her; she could go undercover for a long time, but she figured he couldn't. He had already been here long enough. Once the mission was over, they would go their separate ways and it would be difficult to see each other again. His family would arrange suitable blind dates for him, and she should have a wife who could provide stability for him.
Ultimately, it's just that I didn't like it enough, I didn't love it enough.
She is not someone who is only sentimental; being too rational, she is destined to be passive in relationships and not very passionate, because reason will prevail over everything.
She will only choose the way that is most advantageous and easiest for herself.
"If I think it's good, then it's good." His eyes held both determination and tenderness.
She smiled, like a carefree, silly girl, not taking anything to heart. "Whatever makes you happy. By the way, I got some news about Kong Daoxue here today. I'm thinking of going to the house he visited tonight, the house of a professor from Puda University, to see if I can find any useful clues."
"Okay, I'll go with you tonight."
An Moxue thought that he couldn't use force right now and wanted to refuse, but considering the importance of nuclear physics to the motherland and his richer investigative experience than hers, she agreed and replied, "Okay."
The scene fell silent for a moment, and An Moxue felt somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, Wu Sicheng's frustration at being rejected vanished instantly. Why make things difficult for her? She should just do her best.
He stood up and said, "There's milk in the fridge. I'll go make a pot of milk tea. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
She stared blankly at his retreating figure for a while before finally reacting and blurting out, "Can you make fruit-flavored ones?"
Without turning his head, he asked, "What flavor do you want to drink? I need to see what other fruits we have."
"Strawberry apples, the kind with the flesh, there are some in the fridge." Those were the ones she put out today, she picked the worst-growing ones in the space, they look similar to the ones sold outside now, but the taste is incomparable.
"It's cooked. And another small cake, the yogurt flavor one from the fridge." That was also something she bought today.
Wu Sicheng smiled. See, that's the good thing about magnanimous girls. The awkwardness was resolved, and they are good friends again.
But as he looked at the milk boiling in the pot, his heart sank even further. He thought that her situation was probably much more serious than he knew, to the point that even someone as decisive as her had backed down. Perhaps she didn't want to trouble him or bring him danger!
As night fell, An Moxue and Wu Sicheng changed their clothes and left An Moxue's house.
Upon arriving at the location, An Moxue pointed to the house in front of her and said, "The little beggar found out that Kong Daoxue left this teacher's house in a hurry that day, but he couldn't find out when he went in."
Wu Sicheng said, "It's okay, let's go in and take a look first."
An Moxue thought to herself, "If it doesn't work, I'll just take one pill. It's not a big deal. I'm just afraid that this teacher knows very little about it."
The two searched the house inside and out and found that the teacher was alone at home that night. He was not asleep and was in his study.
The two of them checked separately, and finally met up outside the study.
An Moxue found nothing, and Wu Sicheng had no clues either.
The two met outside the study and shook their heads at each other.
An Moxue gestured towards the room, then pointed to herself, and Wu Sicheng nodded.
Then he saw An Moxue take out two pills, hand him one, and put the other in her own mouth. After watching her eat it, he swallowed it too.
Then An Moxue took out a piece of incense, lit it, and sent it under the door into the study. Then she saw An Moxue looking at her watch to keep track of time.
This series of actions was so fast and skillful that he had never seen it before. He looked at her with a puzzled expression. How was he going to ask her questions after she had been drugged?
An Moxue raised an eyebrow and gestured in sign language—"You just watch and see." He nodded.
When the time came, An Moxue pushed open the door and swaggered inside. At that moment, the teacher had already fainted on the table.
The two quickly checked the study. After they finished, they looked at each other and shook their heads, still finding nothing.
An Moxue walked to the teacher's side, helped him up, took out a snuff bottle and smelled it under his nose. Not far away, Wu Sicheng smelled a very foul odor.
An Moxue noticed his unusual behavior and put another pill into his mouth.
A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze blank and unfocused.
An Moxue looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"
Medvedev.
Are you familiar with Confucianism and Taoism?
"know."
What's your relationship with him?
We were classmates in college.
What did he want when he came to see you a few days ago?
"He wants to stay with me for a few days and I'll try to help him contact a smuggling gang so he can return to Lan Kingdom."
"Then why did he return to the Lan Kingdom?"
"I guess his research has made progress, and he's being treated unfairly here."
"What does he study?"
"Nuclear physics, specifically related to aerospace."
"How long did he stay here with you?"
"More than an hour."
Why did you leave later?
"I think he found out I was on the phone."
Who did you call?
"The director of the research institute."
"Did he leave secretly?"
"Yes, I only found out after he left."
Have you looked for it?
"I looked, but I couldn't find it."
Did he bring anything with him when he came?
"No."
"Did they show you anything?"
"No."
Do you know who he'll contact after he leaves?
"have no idea."
Do you have any news about him now?
"No."
An Moxue glanced at Wu Sicheng, silently asking, "Is there anything else you need to add?"
He shook his head.
An Moxue then looked at Medvedev and said to him, "Okay, now go back to sleep!" He then lay down on the desk.
An Moxue cleaned away the lingering incense at the door and left the teacher's house with Wu Sicheng.
