She took a packet of abalone seasoning sauce from her spatial storage and handed it to him.
"Here, make it."
Mei Yuebai looked up at her, tenderness in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you, for you."
Evening.
After a satisfying session, the two drifted off to sleep.
"Buzz."
The small buzzing sound was particularly noticeable in the silent night.
The silver-haired youth opened his eyes, his black pupils chilling slightly. He carefully pulled his arm out from under Xu Qian's head and got out of bed naked.
He took out a palm-sized black and white device from his backpack. It displayed: "A'Bai, the army has reached G City. Report your precise location as soon as possible."
"No need to find me for now."
The reply came back quickly.
"A'Bai, he misses you."
The youth tilted his head up, moonlight illuminating the perfect line of his jaw, an exceptionally delicate contour.
The warmth of his embrace vanished. The girl slept restlessly, and before long, she opened her tired eyes.
Her vision blurred, seeing his lean, muscular back. What was he doing awake so late at night?
"A'Bai..."
"I'm here."
In the past.
A group of six sat neatly in the living room eating breakfast.
Xu Qian coughed, and five pairs of eyes swept over her.
Mei Yuebai frowned and asked, "Is the porridge too hot?"
"No. I'm going to Feiteng Base today. You can organize yourselves to take on missions today. You can consider accepting 3-star missions. I'll give you another car."
Everyone froze, exchanging glances.
Why were they suddenly going to Feiteng Base?
Xu Qian explained, "It's a mission from Boss Mo. Besides, it's worth twenty thousand points."
Gu Qing's mouth fell open. Twenty thousand... twenty thousand.
Cheng Liangze's hand trembled, and his sandwich fell.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Li Lili choked directly.
Cheng Liangqing didn't pay much attention to the points and instead asked, "What's the mission?"
{A twenty-thousand-point mission must be difficult. If there's danger, it won't be worth it.}
Xu Qian smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple for me, just moving some things. Don't worry."
Mei Yuebai's dark eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Cheng Liangqing.
"I'll go with you."
"En."
He was taken aback. Why was she agreeing so readily today?
Xu Qian glanced at him. "Even if I didn't agree, you'd pester me until I did, so why not be direct?"
Gu Qing sprayed milk from his mouth.
{They're together almost every night... and they don't even spare the mornings.}
Xu Qian's face instantly turned red.
It was all Mei Yuebai's fault. They really needed to find a house with better soundproofing, even though they already had one.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Gu Qing opened the door. A tall soldier stood outside, with slightly dark skin and a stern expression.
Yes, he looked like one of Boss Mo's soldiers.
"Hello, is Miss Xu here?"
"She is, please come in."
The man stood ramrod straight. He was very tall, estimated to be two meters, and seemed capable of breaking through the ceiling when he walked in.
His sharp gaze swept across the room and identified Xu Qian.
"Miss Xu, the car is parked downstairs. Please come down as soon as you finish breakfast."
Xu Qian raised her hand to check her watch. It was 6:30 AM.
She began to speed up her porridge-eating pace. However, the porridge contained too much chicken and pig's blood, requiring slow chewing. Moreover, Mei Yuebai always forced her to eat two bowls before letting her go.
The man stood motionless behind Xu Qian.
Everyone felt the pressure increasing and, after saying their goodbyes, quickly left.
Xu Qian finally finished one bowl, and Mei Yuebai brought another.
"A'Bai, I'm full."
