"..." Ji Yueyao was silent for a moment, then said, "But someone like you would definitely be under close surveillance once you enter the Xiyu base. If I live with you... uh, it would affect my actions."
Ji Yueyao felt a little strange when she heard the words "living together". She coughed lightly and awkwardly suppressed the "crooked" thoughts in her mind.
"No, my house naturally has a hidden door, so it's very convenient for you to come and go," Mu Yanxuan said dismissively.
Is this what I meant...? Ji Yueyao looked speechlessly at Mu Yanxuan, who remained calm. Her gaze wasn't obvious, but Mu Yanxuan still caught it. He chuckled and teasingly patted Ji Yueyao's hair, as if soothing a cat. "What are you thinking...? We're just living in the same house, so of course we each have our own room. If you want to share a room with me, that's fine too."
Ji Yueyao's face turned bright red instantly. She hadn't meant to think that way on purpose... Just as she was about to say something to explain, Ji Yueyao felt the car stop, and then she heard the driver get out of the car and say, "Sir, we've arrived."
Mu Yanxuan nodded expressionlessly, then pulled Ji Yueyao to get out of the car. As soon as Ji Yueyao got out, she felt that the surrounding scenery was very familiar.
"Isn't this the westernmost part of the Xiyu base?" Ji Yueyao looked at Mu Yanxuan speechlessly, her eyes slightly narrowed. "You just dragged me to your place and then asked me where I was going to stay?"
"Hmm..." Mu Yan lowered his head, his ears drooping like a big dog's. "Why don't you live with me? Now that you're here, don't leave again."
"..." Ji Yueyao was once again charmed by the cuteness.
"That's an eyesore!" Ji Yueyao rubbed her eyes, snorted twice, and still took a step forward. "Which one is your house?"
“These two,” Mu Yanxuan pointed to the two villas in front of him, “your partner and my subordinates will live in one place, and I will live in the other.”
Ji Yueyao was stunned. Before she could react, Mu Yanxuan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards one of the villas.
"My lord." A guard standing at the villa entrance bowed respectfully to Mu Yanxuan. Mu Yanxuan nodded slightly and continued walking forward, while the guard quickly led the way.
"We'll all live on the first floor," Mu Yan said calmly to Mu Shouwei, while still holding Ji Yueyao. "We'll live separately."
The guard paused for a moment, wondering if he really needed to explain this... He turned around and quickly stepped forward, opening a door and saying, "Sir, you'll stay here, and you'll stay next door." The guard then opened another door next to it and continued speaking to Ji Yueyao.
Just a wall away? Ji Yueyao sighed, too lazy to be coy anymore. The long car ride had already exhausted her. Now that she had found a place to stay, Ji Yueyao went straight in and threw her small backpack on the bed.
"Then I'll take a nap first," Ji Yueyao said to Mu Yanxuan at the door. "Help me settle Kaqi and the others in."
"Don't worry." Mu Yanxuan nodded, then gently closed the door for Ji Yueyao. "Get some rest, Ji Yueyao."
Ji Yueyao looked at the closed door, let out a soft sigh, hugged a pillow on the bed, looked around, and then closed her eyes.
It's a very soft and comfortable bed.
"grown ups."
Mu Yan sat at her desk in her room, but her gaze was fixed on the wall next to her. Behind that wall, she was resting.
"Is everything settled?" Mu Yanxuan handed over the documents in his hand. Although he was currently away, there were some official duties that he had to personally review before they could be carried out, so even at the Xiyu base, he was not as relaxed as he seemed.
The guard took the document, understanding that it was to be handed over to the military headquarters, so he quickly put the document away before continuing, "Everyone has been settled."
After he finished speaking, the guard showed no intention of leaving. He looked at Mu Yanxuan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Mu Yanxuan tapped the table lightly with his hand, and looked up at the guard with some impatience, saying indifferently, "Do you have anything else to say?" He still had plans for tonight.
“Sir,” the guard hurriedly said, “Xia Yaoxuan, the leader of the Black race, arrived at the Xiyu base five or six days ago, and he is currently in the villa next to yours.”
Xia Yaoxuan? Upon hearing this, Mu Yanxuan coldly lowered his eyes. "They arrived quickly."
Inside a villa about a kilometer away, Xia Yaoxuan glanced at Chu Sheng before turning his gaze to the window. Looking at the dark sky outside, he picked up the hot water on the table and took a sip. "Why did Mu Yanxuan suddenly come to the Xiyu base?"
"We haven't received any intelligence on this matter," Chu Sheng shook his head and stated truthfully.
"Of all times..." Xia Yaoxuan murmured, the cup in his hand shattered with a crack, and the steaming hot water poured onto his hand, quickly scalding his fair hand red, with faint steam rising from it.
"Boss!" Chu Sheng was startled and quickly turned around to get some cool water for Xia Yaoxuan, but was stopped by Xia Yaoxuan as soon as he turned around. He casually shook his hand to remove the water droplets and said with a faint smile, "Still no news about Ji Yueyao?"
"No." Chu Sheng quickly lowered his head, not daring to look Xia Yaoxuan in the eye. The feeling Xia Yaoxuan gave off was becoming more and more terrifying.
“At normal speed, she should have arrived four or five days ago…” Xia Yaoxuan gritted his teeth, no longer caring about Mu Yanxuan’s matter, “Let’s wait another day tomorrow. If she still hasn’t arrived, we’ll go find her.”
Chu Sheng nodded. He didn't ask where to look in such a big world, because he knew it wouldn't be of much use even if he did.
Ji Yueyao woke up after resting in her room for a few hours. Looking at the still dark night outside, she stretched and sat up to get ready. Because she hadn't taken off her clothes before going to sleep, she still felt a little cold now.
She got up, poured herself a glass of hot water, and slowly drank it down, feeling much more awake. She glanced at her watch; it was only 4:30 AM. At this hour, the streets around the Xiyu base were practically deserted, making it the perfect time for her to go out and look for Wei Kang.
Ji Yueyao took out a low-brimmed baseball cap from her backpack, opened the door and went out. Then she saw Mu Yanxuan standing by the dining table in the living room, fiddling with something.
"Mu Yanxuan, what are you doing?" Ji Yueyao walked over curiously. Mu Yanxuan's back stiffened, and then he quickly turned around, trying to use his tall body to block the things on the table.
"Still not asleep so late?" A suspicious pink flush rose on Mu Yanxuan's face. He raised his hand and coughed lightly, trying his best to make his voice sound natural.
Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes. "I've already woken up and am getting ready to go out... But you, what are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Mu Yanxuan ultimately failed to block Ji Yueyao's view, because Ji Yueyao had already walked to the dining table, and he couldn't very well carry the table away, could he? (To be continued.)
