"The second seat of the Nanxiao Base?" Wei Kang was stunned. Only then did he realize that something was different when he saw Ji Yueyao again. That's right, she had a new aura of strategic planning and authority.
Could she have changed so much in just the few months he was in a coma?
Wei Kang lowered his eyes, staring blankly at his toes. He had almost not woken up after his injury. If it weren't for his superhuman physique, it would be unknown whether he would still be awake now.
But it was also while he was unconscious... that Ji Yueyao had grown to a level he could not have imagined?
He should have been able to reach that position... but because of this injury... everything he had was ruined!
"Hey... Wei Kang, did you talk to me?" He was originally talking non-stop about how Ji Yueyao became the second seat of the Nanxiao base, but when he looked up, he saw that Wei Kang's eyes were blank and he was obviously lost in thought. His enthusiasm dropped by more than half.
"I remember the second seat in the Southern Xiao Base was originally... Wei Qin?" Wei Kang snapped back to reality, recalling the knowledge he had gained before he fell unconscious. "Is Wei Qin the first seat now?"
Zhu Mu paused for a moment, then shook his head and frowned, saying, "Why would you ask that? Wei Tan is dead, and the Nanxiao base is now managed by three coexisting leaders... Haven't you learned anything about the outside world since you woke up?"
Upon hearing Zhu Mu's words, Wei Kang felt a sudden unease. He shook his head, too embarrassed to utter a single word. Indeed, since waking up, he had been struggling with feelings of dejection and resentment. He knew very little about the situation at the base outside, let alone the situation at the Xiyu base.
“You can’t do this,” Zhu Mu said with an air of maturity. He glanced at the rising sun, stood up, and stretched. He hadn’t slept all night and would need to catch up on sleep later. “Now that you’re awake, you should quickly find out what’s going on in your surroundings, otherwise you won’t even know how you died… No wonder you asked me why I came to protect you; it seems you don’t know anything.”
Wei Kang didn't speak. He kept his head down, his mind a complete mess, and he didn't even have the courage to face the bamboo and wood.
"I really don't know." After a moment of silence, he finally spoke. "All I know is that Xu Lingnan is now the captain of the tenth team in the search department, and he has already fallen out with Ji Yueyao and the others, so he is making things difficult for Yao Lin and the others everywhere."
"Hmm... Do you know about the incident where Xu Lingnan almost killed the captain?" Zhu Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's the reason why Xu Lingnan turned against the captain and the others."
Wei Kang was stunned. Xu Lingnan almost killed Ji Yueyao?
"have no idea."
“Alright.” Just as I thought… Zhu Mu nodded, and then told Wei Kang in detail about Ji Yueyao’s departure from the Xiyu base and his return. Actually, there were some things he didn’t know very well, but after listening to Kaqi’s account, he knew more or less about them. Now he just pretended to speak in an orderly manner.
Of course, the extent of the exaggeration is truly embarrassing.
Wei Kang felt somewhat dazed as he listened, seemingly never having imagined that Ji Yueyao had gone through so much while he was unconscious.
A narrow escape from death, dealing with the sparrow-like exotic birds, bravely venturing into a swarm of scorpions, and a few days' trip to the Forbidden Forest... If Ji Yueyao heard Zhu Mu exaggerate her experiences like this, she would strangle him. Just look at Wei Kang's constipated expression as he listens; he clearly looks like he's listening to a fantasy story.
"You mean Ji Yueyao is now with... Mu Yanxuan from the military region?" When Wei Kang heard this, his originally clear eyes suddenly became cloudy. He lowered his head and hid his expression in the shadows. Only his clenched fists betrayed his inner struggle.
“That’s right.” Because of the backlighting, Zhu Mu hadn’t noticed Wei Kang’s change yet. He chuckled and said somewhat mischievously, “Commander Mu has helped our captain a lot. Now our captain and Commander Mu should be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Mu didn't hear Wei Kang respond. He looked up but couldn't see Wei Kang's expression. "Wei Kang, are you listening?"
"Ha, they're still such a close relationship." Wei Kang suddenly sneered, his tone sharp. "Go back and tell Ji Yueyao that I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore, and you can get out of here too."
"Huh?" Zhu Mu was stunned. What the heck? How could Wei Kang's face change so suddenly? "Wait, I already said I..."
"I told you to get out!" Wei Kang shouted at Zhu Mu as soon as he looked up. Then, without saying another word, he turned around and ran back to his room, slamming the door shut. Zhu Mu was left standing there dumbfounded in the cold wind.
What's going on all of a sudden? Zhu Mu raised his hand and scratched his head, feeling dizzy standing in the sun. He should go back and tell the captain what happened.
And another thing... if they come again, he has to ask the captain if they can switch to termites instead, because he really can't handle this tyrant.
...
Ji Yueyao felt that she had a very relaxing sleep, but when she woke up, she found that it was already getting dark. Had she slept for a whole day?
"Ji Yueyao, you're awake?" Mu Yanxuan looked at Ji Yueyao as she walked out of the room, his eyes slightly deep.
Ji Yueyao was wearing a very thin sweater and trousers. Her short hair was slightly messy, which added to her cuteness. Her skin wasn't very fair, but it wasn't dark either; it looked just right. She wasn't particularly stunning; at most, she was pretty and delicate. However, her deep, dark eyes, like black pearls, always managed to draw people in.
She raised her hand to yawn, wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes, and through her hazy vision, she saw Mu Yanxuan standing blankly in front of her.
"I'm hungry." Ji Yueyao's throat was very dry and uncomfortable, and her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of coquetry.
"It's all done. I reckon you should be awake by now." He had originally planned to wake Ji Yueyao up... It was a pity he didn't see her sleeping face, but seeing her acting cute now still made Mu Yanxuan's breath catch in his throat.
Mu Yanxuan reached out and brushed the stray hairs that were sticking up on Ji Yueyao's forehead, then draped his coat over Ji Yueyao's shoulders and sighed softly, "It's not very warm yet. What if you catch a cold dressed like this? You know you have a weak constitution."
Although his voice was gentle, Ji Yueyao could still hear the sternness and worry in his tone. She stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and hugged Mu Yanxuan's neck. Ji Yueyao said softly, "I know... I want to eat, I'm starving."
Helpless, Mu Yanxuan quickly draped Ji Yueyao's coat back over her shoulders, freed one arm to encircle the little girl's waist, and easily lifted her up to walk towards the dining table. "Aren't you going to wash your face?"
"I'm not washing, I'm hungry." Ji Yueyao looked at the steaming noodles on the table and felt only hunger. As for her germaphobia... forget it, it had basically been worn away since she came to this world. (To be continued.)
