Chapter 192 Scene 17 (Inverted V) Eavesdropping without even finding a safe place...
"Captain Meng? Captain Meng, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a mission. At most, you'll die, right?"
"What do you mean by 'just dead'? He Yuezhe, is death the same as life to you?! Can you just die without caring about anything?! What about your family and friends? Don't you know that your death will make them very sad?!!"
"...Will my death make them sad?" He Yuezhe smiled. "Captain Meng, don't be ridiculous. We see people die all the time, so isn't death a very easy and normal thing for us? Why would we be sad because of one person's death?"
"He Yuezhe!!!" Meng Qingshan grabbed He Yuezhe's hand.
"Captain Meng, do I resemble Guan Ying in some way?" He Yuezhe looked at her, following the force of her hand. "That's why you're so caring and concerned about me, and why you're angry and upset because of me."
"..." Meng Qingshan frowned and said nothing.
"But I'm not Guan Ying. I'm He Yuezhe. There's no relationship between you and me, Captain Meng. You don't need to go to this extent. I don't want to be Guan Ying in your world."
“…”
"Besides, if it wasn't me, there would be someone else. Instead of letting them die in vain, why not let me give it a try? At least, I'm better than them..."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Hey, Captain Meng, why are you hugging me all of a sudden?"
“…”
“…”
"He Yuezhe, don't cry."
“…”
Hey, she’s only treating you this well because you and Meng Guanying look a bit alike, she doesn’t really care about you!
But, but, what if she truly cares about me even a little bit?
He Yuezhe quietly buried his head in Meng Qingshan's body.
"Don't say that again, okay?" Meng Qingshan patted He Yuezhe's back, "It will hurt me."
What does your pain have to do with me?
“…”
“…”
"……Um."
"You are my team member, I am your captain, and I have an obligation to care for you and take care of you, so don't resist, okay?"
"……Um."
"My child, I don't know what you've been through in the past, but you're with me now, so we have to face the difficulties together."
“…”
"Okay, okay, stop crying and don't be so stubborn. We will face everything together from now on."
“…”
"No one will die, no one will be injured, and no one will be sad."
“…”
"Just think of this as a secret little agreement between the two of us, okay?"
"……Um."
"Be good," Meng Qingshan gently stroked He Yuezhe's head with a gentle smile on his face, "Wipe your tears. There's nothing to do today. You can walk around the base, and then when it's time, go back to the inn."
"good."
The afternoon sun was very warm, shining through the leaves onto Meng Qingshan's face. These spots were like holes, and inside these holes was so much love.
"Captain Meng, do you come to the base every day?" He Yuezhe wiped the tears from her face with the handkerchief Meng Qingshan had given her earlier. "I want to see you every day."
"Of course, I come here every day." Meng Qingshan was slightly taller than He Yuezhe. She bent down and smiled, "Why are you acting like a little kid?"
“…” He Yuezhe glared at her.
"Okay, stop glaring at me and let's go. Since you've decided to take on the mission, how about I accompany you to practice?"
"I don't want to fight."
"It's not a fight, it's training, training."
"What's the difference?"
"There's a huge difference. When it comes to training, just stop when you need it most, and you won't get hurt too badly."
“How serious is too serious?”
“…”
"Why don't you answer my question?"
"Oh, it's like this. I was just thinking about it and suddenly realized that there are some things I need to take care of. So I won't accompany you to train. Why don't you go shopping by yourself?"
"Why? No."
"It's really something important. I'm not making excuses."
"Tomorrow then."
"You'll be starting your mission tomorrow."
"oh."
"What does 'oh' mean?"
"It means I know."
"Not unhappy?"
"No."
"Well, I'll probably be very busy soon. You need to cheer yourself up. Good luck. Also, please return my handkerchief to me after the mission is over."
"Why not now?"
"Because this is a kind of hope," Meng Qingshan walked towards the setting sun, "I hope you can be smooth and safe, and complete the mission well."
"Thank you." He Yuezhe held Meng Qingshan's handkerchief in his hand and looked at Meng Qingshan's back.
"..." Meng Qingshan didn't look back and waved his hand, "You're welcome!"
"You're welcome"? Although she knew it was a polite expression, He Yuezhe still hoped that Meng Qingshan would accept her "thank you". After all, even she herself could not be sure whether she could return safely.

There was still some time before the end of work, so He Yuezhe walked back to where they had eaten, wanting to find Tang Xiqin and Chen Shu.
But when she got there, it was empty, with only a few servants cleaning.
After finding out where they were going, He Yuezhe left the place where they had eaten and walked towards the training place.
The stronghold is not big, but the distance between places is still quite far.
When she walked to the training ground, the sun had already set. A semicircular sun hung in the distance, illuminating the moon on the other side.
"Hey, are you thirsty? It's a good time to take a break. I'll go get some water."
"Thirst, I'm almost dying of thirst! Miss Tang, you were too strong today. I'm no match for you at all. I'm tired after just a short fight!"
"Then just say you're tired. I'm not some big devil..."
"Miss Tang said she's been out for too long and her hands are rusty. I can't just rest by myself. Shouldn't I let Brother Yuan and Xiao Shu come practice with Miss Tang?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"Sister Tang, please let us go. Brother Yuan and I are working on something new. The organization has been asking for it for a long time. If we delay any longer, we'll be scolded."
"You two are still afraid of being scolded?" Tang Xiqin sneered, "Ha, who scolded them so much that they dared not say a word, and who was it——"
"Sister Tang! Okay, okay! Let's not talk about this anymore!"
"Ms. Tang, once this thing goes on the market, I'll give you 80% of the sales revenue. How about that? Miss Tang is smart and has helped everyone manage their finances in the past. Now, I wonder if Miss Tang is willing to continue?"
"...The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. Yuan Yang, what are you planning this time?"
"don't want……"
"Tsk, of course I know, do I need you to remind me?!"
Before I could catch the second half of Yuan Yang's words, I heard Tang Xiqin say impatiently, "Yuan Yang, please reply to them for me and tell them if they are too bold to order our executive department around."
"It's not them, it's me."
"Then reply this paragraph to yourself! Ask yourself, are you brave enough to doubt me?!"
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to remind you that they..."
"Now that you know..."
"It's ineffective. I'm..."
"Miss Tang, we want to..."
"I know you don't..."
"Sister Tang, you're crossing the line..."
"What do you and I have..."
"I advise you to listen best..."
"Bang!"
“…”
“…”
"Hello?"
"Hello? What are you still doing here? Why are you eavesdropping somewhere safe? Are you waiting for someone to find you?!"
With his wrist grabbed, He Yuezhe was dragged by Tang Xiqin to run in a certain direction.
"I'm not here to eavesdrop." He Yuezhe poked her hand.
“…”
"Hey, did you guys have a fight?" Not getting a reply, He Yuezhe continued, "If you have a fight, you should resolve it immediately, not try to avoid it."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Tang Xiqin, where are you taking me...ah..."
“…”
“Come back!!”
“Don’t come near me!!”
"Tang Xiqin, what are you crazy about?!"
"I'm not crazy, I just, I just don't understand why I'm not dying!"
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? Look, you still have us, your family, and a bright future ahead of you... Tang Xiqin, why do you want to die?"
"Captain Meng gave you that mission, right?"
There are many tiny scars on Tang Xiqin's face, which have become natural lakes due to tears flowing on them.
"Why did you agree to her, why?!" She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.
"What's wrong with you?"
"He Yuezhe, run, run! Escape from here! Otherwise you will die, otherwise you will die!!"
“…”
"Why, why... I'm really tired, I'm really tired..."
Tang Xiqin gradually slipped to the ground.
“…”
“…”
“…”
"He Yuezhe, can you hug me for a moment, just for a moment...?"
"No."
"Why……?"
"Because I'm too dirty."
“…”
"Well, I don't care, as long as you can hug me..."
"All right."
He Yuezhe squatted down, hugged Tang Xiqin, knocked the weapon out of her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Your plan has failed again, what a pity."
"You're smart, and I admire you, but unfortunately, you're our target, and we can never be friends without grudges."
Tang Xiqin hugged He Yuezhe back, but her hands only rested lightly on her.
"You always bet that I will treat you coldly. Why?"
"Part of the mission, no reason why."
"oh."
"You clearly know our purpose, but you still want to stay with us. I want to ask you, why is that?"
"A part of me that has no reason."
"What kind of answer is that?"
"I'm telling the truth."
“…”
“…”
"I saved you this time, but next time, I may not be able to do that."
"Why do you think they didn't chase after us?"
“…It’s you.”
"Yes, it's me!" He Yuezhe hugged her tightly, "Tang Xiqin, I wanted to talk to you alone, and I succeeded!"
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is, as a reward for my success, if I'm in danger, just once, can you save me?"
"award?"
"Well, do you think they would keep you alive, a traitor who intends to surrender to their target?"
“…”
"Ms. Tang, Miss Tang, I saved your life today. Please don't repay kindness with hatred."
"I understand! Can you let me go first..."
"If you want to fall, you can."
"He Yuezhe, you lunatic!!!"
