Seeing that Shen Xi didn't seem inclined to talk about it, Yun Qi didn't ask any further. She nodded to indicate that she understood, adjusted herself into a comfortable position, and leaned against Shen Xi's shoulder for a short rest.
Shen Xi remained silent. Yun Qi, however, mentally called out to Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi? Why is there an escort? Is someone trying to harm Shen Xi?!"
Xiao Qi: "Wait a minute, let me check... I found it. It's from the publication of the last research results. The authorship on it has been targeted by the United States. They believe that this research result was led by Shen Xi, which may be detrimental to Shen Xi!"
Yunqi: "How shameless... You don't want others to figure it out just because you haven't figured it out yourself?! And if someone else does figure it out, you want to destroy the person who did it?!"
Xiaoqi: "The plot is completely different now. I don't know how it will develop next... But we must protect Chen Xi and reduce his corruption level."
Yunqi: "I understand. It seems I still need to continue practicing the 'Heaven and Earth Technique'..."
Thankfully, the journey was safe...
The car drove directly into the compound of the Beijing Military Region. There were two soldiers on guard at the gate. They checked the pass, glanced at the two young men in the back seat, and then let them pass.
The car stopped in a courtyard, and two soldiers carried the two men's luggage into the house, saluted them, and left.
This was a two-story, detached courtyard with a fence. Chen Xi had commissioned someone to renovate it in advance, so it was ready for immediate move-in. He showed Yun Qi around the courtyard while explaining the situation.
There are guards at the gate of the Beijing Military Region compound, and ordinary people can't get in. The several-hour drive wasn't too tiring, and they didn't have much luggage. They tidied up quickly and then sat down to cook... He told Yunqi to go back to her room to rest for a while, and he would call her when she was ready.
Yunqi was taking a nap in the sunlight on the recliner by the window, but she was actually cultivating the "Heaven and Earth Technique"... until Chen Xi came to call her, and she stopped cultivating.
Three dishes and a soup are enough for two people.
Chen Xi kept piling food onto Yun Qi's plate, his enthusiasm bordering on excessive... Finally, they finished eating and cleaned up...
Chen Xi pulled Yun Qi, who was watching TV in the living room, into his arms, his face beaming with unconcealed joy: "Qi Qi, here, take a look at this!"
"Household registration booklet?" Yunqi opened it and saw that the head of household was Chen Xi, and He Yunqi was also listed as the head of household's wife. She was pleasantly surprised. "You helped me transfer my household registration?!"
"Yes, from now on we're family."
Yunqi hugged Chen Xi: "Chen Xi, thank you!"
"Call me Ah Xi, or you can call me husband."
Yunqi blushed: "Axi...husband..."
Chen Xi held Yun Qi tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "Qi Qi, we're already married. I want to be with you, is that okay?"
Yunqi blushed. Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she understood what she needed to know. Yunqi nodded shyly, "Mm."
Chen Xi kissed Yun Qi's lips, then picked her up and carried her to the bedroom...
"Ding... [Soul Extraction] Successful..."
Yunqi floated in the air, watching Shen Xi gently kiss He Yunqi, and He Yunqi instinctively responded to Shen Xi...
Suddenly, Chen Xi looked up in Yun Qi's direction. Yun Qi was startled when she met his eyes and quickly closed them!
Shen Xi looked up at the sky, feeling someone watching him, but there was nothing in the direction of that gaze. Was it just his imagination? In an instant, the gaze disappeared again... It must have been his imagination.
He Yunqi, lying on the bed, blushed and said, "Axi..."
Chen Xi kissed He Yunqi again...
The red curtains are warm, the room is filled with enchanting beauty...
Yunqi closed her eyes, not daring to look anymore... until the next day when she returned to her body... her whole body ached, and that area was too embarrassing to talk about...
Seeing that Yunqi was awake, Chen Xi kissed her forehead: "I'm sorry, Qiqi. I knew it was your first time, but I still couldn't control myself... Last night... while you were asleep, I cleaned you up and applied medicine... Are you still feeling unwell?"
Yunqi blushed and burrowed into the covers: "You...you stop talking."
Chen Xi pulled back the blanket to reveal Yun Qi's small face, and kissed her again: "Sweetie, don't get bored. I'll go cook, you can rest a bit more."
"Um."
Yunqi only relaxed after Shen Xi left and the door closed.
Xiaoqi: "Qiqi, Shen Xi's 'darkening value' is only 8 left, but his affection level is 99!!!"
Yunqi: "Last night... Xiaoqi, were you there?"
Xiaoqi: "To protect the host's privacy, when the host is doing something indescribable, we will be blocked and locked in a dark room until it is over."
Yunqi: "I used [Soul Extraction] yesterday." So, it wasn't me doing something indescribable...
Xiaoqi: "It's the same, it has no effect. After entering the mission world, we assume that the original owner is the host, and you will still be blocked and put into the black room."
That's quite humane...
Yunqi practiced the "Heaven and Earth Technique" for a while longer, and felt her physical discomfort had eased considerably. She then got up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs...
After having dinner with Yunqi, Chen Xi took her to visit the surrounding neighbors.
With Chen Xi by her side, Yunqi's social anxiety wasn't so severe anymore. As long as there weren't too many people, she could manage... but she was still not good at expressing herself...
Chen Xi presented wedding candies, explaining that he and He Yunqi had only recently married and moved here. He added that his wife was rather shy and asked the neighbors to be kind to her…
The neighbors all warmly congratulated the couple on their marriage! They said that helping each other is the proper thing to do among neighbors...
Shen Xi then showed Yun Qi around the compound. There were supermarkets and shops in the compound, and Yun Qi followed Shen Xi to explore them all... In Shen Xi's words, it was essential to know the locations of the supermarkets and shops, but if Qi Qi didn't want to go out, that was fine too. She could call him and have him bring her anything she needed.
Shen Xi actually preferred that Yun Qi stay at home and not go out... If she wanted to go out, Shen Xi was willing to go with her...
