Sun Shangxiang woke up early the next morning, just in time for Xia Xiang to have breakfast.
“I already guessed who you are, but I know you won’t admit it, so I won’t ask,” Sun Shangxiang said, looking at the toast in her hand that was covered with two kinds of sauce.
Of all the people she knew, only Ye Siwu had this quirk: she would soak lemon slices in her cola, but she would take them out before drinking it; she would spread two kinds of sauce on her toast, but one sauce required three spoonfuls while the other only required two spoonfuls.
Moreover, many of her little gestures are exactly the same as Ye Siwu's!
Ever since she drank the poisoned milk, she hasn't been given milk again. Instead, fresh orange juice, which Ye Siwu hates the most, is prominently displayed on her own table.
Yehenara Xiong Ba: Huh??? She hates it the most, and you give it to me to drink???
Xia Xiang: It's nutritious!
"Mm," Xia Xiang nodded.
"The first question I want to ask is, why are you here?" Sun Shangxiang asked. "You must explain from the beginning; you can't lie."
Xia Xiang: ...There are many aspects to this question. Since I'm going to tell her, I can't just brush her off with "I'm willing."
"Should we start from when I was born?" Xia Xiang began to joke. "But I was just a baby then, so I might not remember."
Sun Shangxiang's glare was like a knife piercing Xia Xiang's heart—
Xia Xiang immediately regained her composure.
"When I returned to Donghan Academy, I found it was in ruins. Then I came to Jiangdong and saw they were being harassed by the higher education institutions there, so I simply rented this farm to offer them a little help." Xia Xiang told her the truth she could at the moment.
“Revealing my identity would be detrimental to my actions, so they don’t know it’s me, but Liu Bei does.”
"Is this a disguise? Who was that little girl who visited your grave? Why does she look so much like you?" Sun Shangxiang asked, her eyes reddening. "Do you know how worried you were!"
But Xia Xiang was like a stone, completely unaffected by her emotions, and simply said, "These are the second, third, and fourth questions."
"What's next?" Sun Shangxiang asked confidently.
"Rescue Cao Cao from the bamboo forest," Xia Xiang said. "Luckily, it's a holiday today, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to go to school."
"Is it that simple?" Sun Shangxiang asked with some skepticism.
"It's too easy, aren't you happy?" Xia Xiang asked. "Then I'll try again..."
Before Xia Xiang could finish speaking, Sun Shangxiang teleported away and went to the bamboo forest in the backyard.
"Hmm, not bad, this kid's fighting ability has improved a little." Xia Xiang nodded in satisfaction.
He then sincerely praised himself, saying, "As expected of me."
——
After dealing with everyone, Xiu, who had just arrived, missed Sun Shangxiang again, and his face darkened even more.
Xiu looked at Xia Xiang and asked, "What question did she ask you?"
"She asked me why I was here." Xia Xiang clapped her hands, laughing so hard she almost fell over.
"Haha, so cute. If she had asked me who I was, the truth would have been revealed, but she didn't."
"Isn't it because you set her up?" Xiu complained.
"Do you really want her to know?" Xia Xiang asked.
"I really want to, but I'm also very afraid," Xiu said with a wistful expression. "I'm afraid she won't choose me firmly, I'm afraid she'll be torn between two choices, I'm afraid she'll hate me."
Xia Xiang handed Xiu a porcelain bottle containing "medicine," saying, "I told you not to flick with your bare hands, do you not want to lose your fingers?"
"This is a work injury," Xiu said, removing the bandages from two fingers.
Xia Xiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "This medicine is priceless."
Xiu pretended not to hear and sprinkled medicine powder on his still bleeding wound.
--bamboo forest--
Cao Cao, with his dark circles deeply etched, leaned against a stone pillar, closing his eyes to rest.
At first, he didn't understand why he had to bring such a thick roll of paper. No matter how big the bamboo forest was, it couldn't possibly be as big as the thirteen prefectures of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
As a result, from last night until now, half of it has been ruined. We can't get out at all, let alone draw a topographical map.
That eccentric girl is not to be underestimated, but why would she help them?
Cao Cao was deep in thought when he heard a noise not far away, which instantly snapped him out of his reverie.
"No, I, Cao Mengde, am not one to give up so easily!" Cao Cao was filled with fighting spirit again. He spread out the previously discarded blueprints on the open ground, and after thinking for a long time, he finally found the pattern and the way out—
Sun Shangxiang sensed something was wrong as soon as she entered.
The temperature and humidity inside the bamboo forest were strangely different from those outside. In order to find Cao Cao as soon as possible, he simply unleashed his full inner strength, but—he still couldn't find him.
She could only start searching on foot, but she walked for a very long time without finding it, and then she got lost.
Cao Cao had already returned to the villa and even had lunch with Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang commented, "His painting skills are just average."
Cao Cao felt as if he had been shot in the heart. Although his drawing skills weren't the most outstanding, he could still draw a topographical map, right? How could they say his drawing skills were just average?!
