As Li Xiyue watched Mu Cangnan's lips slowly approach hers, she did not reject him.
The man's lips pressed a burning, passionate mark onto hers. A sweet, blissful sensation surged through their hearts.
This was their first real long kiss, as if they wanted to embed each other into their own bodies.
Mu Cangnan controlled himself completely with reason, and released Li Xiyue just when all his emotions were about to get out of control.
They weren't married yet, and he couldn't do "that" to the girl he loved.
One reason is his sense of responsibility; he knows that love requires patience. Another reason is his concern about his own affairs; he fears that if he can't clear his name, he might implicate Li Xiyue in the future.
He gently wiped the water stains from the corner of Li Xiyue's lips with his fingers and told the girl to get some rest.
After watching Mu Cangnan leave, Li Xiyue locked the door and went to sleep.
Honey Baby ran back into the space and said to Li Xiyue in a depressed mood, "Today was no fun at all. I stared there for a long time but couldn't figure it out. I really don't know who that person's superior is. Apart from those notes and the locations where they contacted each other, there is no other information."
Li Xiyue said, "Go to the place where they made the transaction and see if there are any new notes."
Mi Bao obediently ran away, and soon he ran back through the spatial passage to report to Li Xiyue, "No. There are no little notes."
Li Xiyue said, "I've been thinking about a question. How could that person know so accurately the tasks they assigned, whether those people completed them, and how well they did?"
Mi Bao said, "Oh right, how did he know? The key is that he's going to give them money! He'll give them a deposit first, and then pay the full amount after the task is completed."
Li Xiyue's eyes narrowed slightly. She said, "Unless this person knows the outcome of each operation! And now this person also knows that these people have been arrested!"
Mi Bao said, "The only way to know that these people have been arrested is if he is a member of the military!"
He's definitely Song Haoqiang! It's a pity all our reasoning can't be used as evidence, so frustrating!
Li Xiyue said, "Don't be angry. Even if all our reasoning can't be used as evidence, Song Haoqiang's grandfather is definitely the biggest piece of evidence!"
I'm going to see Grandpa Mu tomorrow to see if the Social Security account he helped me with has been successfully processed!
"Once I get this number, I can start an import/export business, and then I'll have a way to bring Song Haoqiang's grandfather back!"
The most important thing is that she can't just knock Song Haoqiang's grandfather unconscious and bring him back through the spatial passage.
Otherwise, if Song Haoqiang's grandfather wakes up and says something astonishing, she won't be able to explain how he was brought back!
Therefore, we must find the most reasonable way to bring Song Haoqiang's grandfather back!
She turned over and quickly fell asleep. She was so tired that she couldn't even chat with Mi Bao for a couple more minutes.
The next day, Li Xiyue woke up to the sound of soldiers drilling.
Through the door, she could hear the soldiers running and shouting slogans from afar!
A crescent-shaped smile curved her lips. Her voice gave her an immense sense of security; hearing it made her feel at ease!
She got out of bed, washed up, and went to find Mu Cangnan's mother, Li Xiulan.
When Li Xiulan heard Li Xiyue knocking on the door, she opened it and said to Li Xiyue with a frustrated look, "It's just in time that you're here. Can you help me take a look? How can I fold this quilt into a tofu block? I've been trying for ages, but I still can't get it right."
You're telling me that they've done everything perfectly, and after I cover them with the blanket, I can't restore it to its original state. Wouldn't that make them laugh at me?
Li Xiyue said, "Auntie, it's okay. As long as we stack the pieces properly, it'll be fine. We can't do those tofu-block shapes; that's a professional technique."
As she spoke, she helped Li Xiulan fold the quilt.
Although they weren't folded into neat squares, they were stacked very tidy.
Just as the two were chatting, Mu Cangnan pushed open the door and walked in. He called his mother and Li Xiyue to go to the cafeteria for breakfast together.
Li Xiyue and Li Xiulan followed behind Mu Cangnan as the family of three went to the cafeteria for a meal.
The cafeteria breakfast was nothing special: soy milk, tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, and flatbread.
Because they were visiting relatives, they received extra care, and each of them was given a tea egg.
Li Xiyue didn't eat; she peeled the tea eggs and put them in Mu Cangnan's bowl.
Mu Cangnan gave Li Xiyue a reproachful look, then tried to take the egg back. Eggs are nutritious, and he couldn't bear to eat them himself; of course, he wanted to give them to Li Xiyue.
While telling Li Xiyue to eat the eggs, Li Xiulan put her own eggs into her son's bowl. She also told her son that if he considered her his mother, he should eat the eggs.
In her eyes, it didn't matter what she ate, but her son had to eat well.
Having no other choice, Mu Cangnan had to eat Li Xiulan's egg.
Although Li Xiulan is not their biological mother, she is really good to them.
He and his brother always ate the best food in the house from childhood. The nutritional supplements, eggs, and meat were always reserved for the two of them, while Mu Jiuhong and her sister never got to eat anything.
After finishing the meal, Mu Cangnan told Li Xiulan to go back to her room to rest, and he took Li Xiyue to school.
Li Xiyue got into Mu Cangnan's car and left the military camp.
Mu Cangnan kept reminding Li Xiyue to be careful and to come to the military camp anytime if anything happened, and to try not to leave the school.
Li Xiyue nodded obediently in her little chick, Domiban.
Not leaving the school? Yes, she promised not to let anyone think she had left the school.
It was another day of classes, and Du Guixiang came to Li Xiyue at noon to report on her work.
Du Guixiang has completed all the tasks arranged by Li Xiyue. Now everything is ready except for the final step.
Li Xiyue instructed Du Guixiang to tell the printing factory to print New Year's cards and calendars as soon as possible. She said she would ship the goods to the port immediately once she obtained the export license.
Du Guixiang is now full of energy; as soon as she ships a product, she wants to take it abroad with her!
Haha! She can go abroad and see how advanced other countries are!
However, she heard Li Xiyue say that no matter how advanced foreign countries are now, they will catch up in a few decades!
Finally, school was over. Li Xiyue immediately left the classroom and ran to the corner of the school corridor. She entered the space passage that Mi Bao had set up for her and drove her sports car to admire her grandfather.
At the other end of the corridor, Du Jingshan glanced at the end of the corridor in the distance, stopped walking, and looked into a deep, dark light before turning around and heading towards the stairs.
Li Xiyue's sports car sped out of the space passage. She glanced at the time; it was only just dawn here. Going to Grandpa Mu's house so early was a bit premature.
Honey said, "How about we go get some breakfast? Let's try their breakfast. And can you give me a child's skin so I can go with you?"
It stared longingly at Li Xiyue, wishing it could become a child and walk hand in hand with her on the street...
