"Little lazy cat, wake up!"
A slight tapping sensation came from her forehead, and Mu Qingyun suddenly opened her eyes. She braced herself against the support behind her and tried to stand up.
But halfway through the race, his head hit something hard.
"Bang--"
"Hiss—" Mu Qingyun raised her hand to cover her forehead and looked up at Su Qiluo in front of her. "Why are you standing in front of me?"
"I'm waking you up." Su Qiluo sighed helplessly. "I'm really fed up. I told you to wait a while, and you were still sleeping at the doctor's house."
Um?
Mu Qingyun turned her head and looked around. She was in the room she shared with Su Qiluo.
"You carried me back?" She rubbed her temples. She was really tired today and didn't really want to fall asleep, but as she lay there, she lost consciousness.
"Otherwise what?" Su Qiluo reached out and hugged her waist, lifting her up forcefully. He touched her forehead, which had been bumped earlier. "Does it hurt?"
"It's alright." She shook her head.
"Since there's nothing else, come downstairs with me to open the presents." With that, he lifted her up in a princess carry.
Forced to rely on Su Qiluo for support, Mu Qingyun looked down at the ground less than a meter away from her and slowly said, "Well, I can walk by myself. It's just the distance from inside the house to the living room."
Su Qiluo didn't speak, nor did he seem to intend to put her down.
Seeing that resistance was futile, she wisely pursed her lips, tightened her arms around Su Qiluo, and comfortably leaned against his chest.
Once they reached the living room, Su Qiluo placed her on the sofa.
On the table in front of her was a gift bag that looked like it contained clothes.
"My gift?" She turned her head to look at Su Qiluo.
"Hmm." He nodded. "Open it and see if you like it."
Mu Qingyun took the gift bag and opened it.
Inside was a dazzling evening gown, its surface shimmering with a sparkling light.
She took the clothes out and held them in her hand.
This is a fishtail dress, purple in color, with blue accents at the long fishtail hem. Although it's adorned with shimmering sequins, it doesn't look as heavy as a typical evening gown; instead, it resembles delicate scales.
This dress reminded Mu Qingyun of someone.
She turned to look at Su Qiluo beside her and raised an eyebrow.
"Do you like it?" Su Qiluo asked, feigning composure, but a sudden unease crept into his heart. He wondered if Mu Qingyun would blame him for his behavior.
Mu Qingyun stroked her fishtail skirt, staring at it for a long time. Just as Su Qiluo's heart was pounding, she suddenly tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled.
"I love it, it's so beautiful." She said, carefully tucking the fishtail skirt away. "I'll wear this to the next party, it will definitely stun everyone."
Upon hearing this, Su Qilu stared at her for a long time, making sure he couldn't see any negative emotions in her eyes, before he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll put it away for you." He reached out and took the gift bag from her hand, then turned and walked upstairs.
As she watched him leave, Mu Qingyun's lips curled into a smile.
She was in a pretty good mood. Su Qiluo must have been nervous just now, as if he was afraid that she would be angry because he hurt Kazel.
She chuckled softly and shook her head helplessly.
Su Qiluo still doesn't understand that she will always stand by him. Even if he kills someone in front of her, she will only hand him the knife.
"Knock knock knock—"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
She got up, walked towards the door, and peered at the machine. Standing outside was the strategist in a trench coat.
She looked up unexpectedly and opened the door.
"Strategist, what brings you here?"
Seeing Su Zhou come in, she asked in confusion.
"I bought some hot pot ingredients to connect with Qi Luo," Su Zhou said, taking the ingredients out of his storage bag.
"Oh, right, I also brought some seeds, some cabbage and some bok choy, you can use them to help them grow."
seed?
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun's eyes flashed with surprise. Currently, most plant seeds are either with Mu Jingfeng or at the military academy. Ordinary people can only buy plants, not seeds, and they don't have the ability to grow them.
"Yes, I have some connections at home." Su Zhou smiled. "Your Majesty, how was the first day of freshman training?"
"Not good at all." She snorted irritably, "I shouldn't have listened to you back then. This military academy isn't training freshmen."
"What's wrong?" Su Zhou didn't expect her to have this attitude. He guessed that she might have encountered something, and his voice became gentle.
Having found someone to confide in, Mu Qing immediately poured out all her feelings from the day.
"You have no idea how ruthless this general who trains the new recruits is. He made me run dozens of laps around that training ground?"
"Do you know what dozens of laps means? When we went to the military camp for special training, the most intense training we did couldn't even compare to half of what we're doing here!"
Hearing her complaints, Su Zhou smiled and said, "Isn't it just a difference in physical strength? After all, people there don't have superpowers or mental strength."
"No, but I'm exhausted from running all day. I consider myself to be in pretty good physical condition."
Su Zhou didn't agree with her. He waited until she calmed down a bit before speaking, "Is there something else? Your Majesty shouldn't be so angry about training alone."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyun nodded. As expected of her strategist who had followed her for so long, he really understood her.
"Do you know Bai Pufeng?" she asked, looking at Su Zhou.
With Bai Pufeng's talent, he should be destined for great things in the future, and the strategist should know that as well.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name, Su Zhou gave a soft "hmph," and said, "I know him. He became a general at a young age and married a princess, but he was among the first to die when the disaster struck."
"He married Mu Xueyao?" She stared wide-eyed in surprise. It seemed that this lunatic had really achieved great success in his past life and even won the heart of a beauty.
"Yes," Su Zhou replied affirmatively, "Did he offend you?"
"He's targeting me at every turn to avenge Mu Xueyao." Mu Qingyun felt incredibly irritated just thinking about Bai Pufeng's face. "He even attacked me in public this afternoon."
"Really?" Su Zhou was clearly surprised. "He's already fallen for Mu Xueyao? I didn't expect this young man to be so secretive."
Mu Qingyun: ? ? ?
I'm trying to talk to you about this and you're talking about that?
"Strategist, you're getting more and more annoying." She stared at Su Zhou with a forced smile and gave him a death stare. "I'm complaining about him to you. Even if you don't join in, you shouldn't bring up other things."
“I was wrong, Your Majesty.” Su Zhou tactfully admitted his mistake. “But I really don’t know Your Majesty. All I know about him are his achievements that are displayed on the pillar of glory.”
