How cheesy! Ji Yueyao felt extremely embarrassed as soon as she blurted it out! Her face started burning. This jerk!
"This is it." Mu Yanxuan was immediately delighted. He whispered affectionately in Ji Yueyao's ear, "I like this name."
Seeing his delighted expression, Ji Yueyao forgot all her worries. She turned her face away slightly and said in a coquettish tone, "Hmph, as long as you like it... When are you leaving?"
“Now.” Mu Yanxuan paused for a moment, then said somewhat somberly, “Country B has already begun its attack. I have no time to waste… I will return as soon as possible.”
His voice was hoarse and filled with deep reluctance. As Ji Yueyao watched his face gradually recede into the distance, the disappointment in her eyes poured out without any attempt to hide it. "You must come back soon."
Seeing her reluctant expression, Mu Yanxuan felt a surge of joy and fulfillment. He lowered his voice and whispered something, then saw Ji Yueyao's cheeks flush bright red.
He stood up and patted Ji Yueyao's head one last time. Looking at her flushed cheeks, Mu Yanxuan's eyes were misty for a moment. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked towards the door. He didn't dare to look back, afraid that if he did, he wouldn't have the courage to take another step forward.
How could a leader of a country be so sentimental?
Ji Yueyao, I will always think of you... You have to be like that too. He raised his hand and touched his chest, where a photo of his beloved was sewn... That's right, he had sewn Ji Yueyao's photo onto the chest of his military uniform, so that she would always be by his side.
He glanced down at Xia Yaoxuan lying on the sofa, their eyes met for a moment, and then they looked away at the same time.
Mu Yanxuan lowered his eyes slightly and beckoned to the snow fox beside him, whispering something to it.
Ji Yueyao watched Mu Yanxuan walk away without looking back, and her heart suddenly went blank. She got off the ground barefoot to chase after him, but when she opened the door, she only saw him getting into the car and leaving.
His last words still echoed clearly in her ears, and her face began to heat up again.
"Yaoyao, wait for me to come back."
Xia Yaoxuan had actually opened his eyes long ago. He stared blankly at Mu Yanxuan's departing figure for a moment, then turned around and saw Ji Yueyao standing barefoot in thin clothes at the door. He frowned, got up, quickly walked over, pulled Ji Yueyao into the room, and said, "If you're not wearing shoes, just lie obediently on the bed. Your face is already so pale, how do you intend to further abuse your body?"
"I'm sorry..." Ji Yueyao was a little lost in thought. She nodded absentmindedly and said, "I'll be more careful next time."
Xia Yaoxuan sighed, "You really don't listen to me at all anymore. Where did the obedient you go?"
Ji Yueyao didn't speak; she was still lost in thought with her head down.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from Mu Yanxuan?" Xia Yaoxuan's eyes darkened slightly when he saw that Ji Yueyao didn't even look up. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to swallow his displeasure. "Yueyue, are you even listening to me?"
Raising her eyes and nodding, Ji Yueyao pulled the blanket around herself. "Actually, I think Mu Yanxuan is very good to me..."
“He was very good to you, but when he changed his attitude one day, Yueyue…” Xia Yaoxuan watched as Ji Yueyao looked away from him, feeling a surge of resentment. He remained silent for a moment, then bent down and put one shoe on her foot. Ji Yueyao awkwardly tried to pull her foot back, but her ankle was tightly held in Xia Yaoxuan’s hand.
"Yueyue, what are you hiding from... Didn't I always put your shoes on like this before?" Xia Yaoxuan looked up at Ji Yueyao and said softly. Ji Yueyao was stunned for a moment, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. In the past, if she didn't have her keys when she came home from school at noon, she would sometimes take a nap at his house. At that time, Xia Yaoxuan would call her a lazy cat and then put her shoes on while she was still half asleep.
"I remember," Ji Yueyao chuckled. "Xia Yaoxuan, I'm still a little sleepy. Can I sleep a little longer?"
"Go to sleep." Seeing Ji Yueyao's pale face, Xia Yaoxuan swallowed his words, though he still had something to say. He watched Ji Yueyao lie down and covered her with the blanket. "Ji Yueyao, although I don't know why you look so weak, you shouldn't leave the Xiyu base for the time being... Everything I've done is for your own good."
"I know." Ji Yueyao nodded, then closed her eyes wearily. For some reason, she felt completely drained, as if her energy had become negative.
A few minutes later, she had already fallen asleep.
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Xia Yaoxuan raised his hand and gently touched them, a faint sadness in his eyes. Her body was that of an ordinary person, but her power was even greater than that of an ordinary superhuman... She must be very tired to have lasted this long.
"Ji Yueyao, why go through all this trouble?" Xia Yaoxuan asked, bending down to look at Ji Yueyao's sleeping face up close. Like a lover, he closed his eyes and kissed her forehead. "Why don't you just rely on me for everything, like before?"
Ji Yueyao couldn't hear him, so naturally she didn't reply. Xia Yaoxuan sat for an unknown amount of time until it got dark again before he lowered his eyes, stood up, and turned to leave.
"My lord." Chu Sheng, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, bowed slightly when he saw Xia Yaoxuan come out. "My lord, news has come from the base."
"Give it to me." Xia Yaoxuan raised his hand, and Chu Sheng quickly handed the information in his hand to Xia Yaoxuan.
“Countries A, B, and D have launched simultaneous attacks on country C.” Chu Sheng followed closely behind Xia Yaoxuan and said, “The demand for oil from various countries has increased dramatically… Sir, you must go back and deal with these matters. The amount being sold is too large, and the people in the base can no longer make decisions. The entire base is now somewhat shaken.”
Xia Yaoxuan, who hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end, finished reading the letter in his hand, glanced back at Ji Yueyao's room, and then looked away... He had originally thought that Mu Yanxuan had left him to keep Ji Yueyao company, but now that Country C was suffering, he did feel quite good.
If only Mu Yanxuan could... die on the battlefield.
"Chu Sheng, depart immediately." Xia Yaoxuan crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball, then a pale blue light flashed, and the paper in his hand was instantly burned to ashes.
Ji Yueyao is safe staying at the Xiyu base now, and he will naturally support the military in resisting foreign enemies. At least he will definitely help the westernmost part of the base... after all, Ji Yueyao is in the west.
When Ji Yueyao woke up, she felt thirsty and thought she must have slept for too long.
I got up and looked around, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. Had my night vision decreased again?
She sat up, groped her way to the table, picked up the kettle, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it. Perhaps she shouldn't have slept so much; maybe moving around would help her recover? (To be continued.)
