Chapter 637: Only Temporary Compromise is Possible
"Boss,"

Zhuo Juntao, who was in the command room, saw Jiang Ci rushing in carrying Bai Mianmian and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, "Sister-in-law, you need to get to the medical department immediately! Why did you bring her to the command room!"

"?" Bai Mianmian, who hadn't yet figured out how to keep Jiang Ci from getting angry, looked at Zhuo Juntao with a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

What does he mean by that?
Jiang Ci, who was distracted by something, paused in her steps, her cold eyes suddenly turning to Zhuo Juntao, "Who's in trouble?"

Zhuo Juntao was taken aback by Jiang Ci's question. Under the dangerous, cold gaze of the other party, he slowly turned his concerned eyes to Bai Mianmian.

"Me?" Bai Mianmian, who was puzzled by his words, suddenly realized something and raised her hand to point to herself in surprise when her eyes met his.

Did something happen to her?

Does she need to go to the medical department?
Only then did Zhuo Juntao clearly see that Bai Mianmian's face was rosy and her expression was only one of surprise and doubt, without any negative effects from her injury.

He immediately realized that the rumors in the group chat about Bai Mianmian being injured were not exaggerated, but fabricated!

Zhuo Juntao: "..."

Zhuo Juntao was clearly not the only one who realized that this was a misunderstanding.

The worried gazes that Ling Xinglan and the others had been casting at Bai Mianmian in the command room suddenly froze, then turned to embarrassment.

It seems they worried for nothing...

For a moment, the command room fell into an awkward silence.

"I'm not injured, you don't need to go to the medical department." Seeing Zhuo Juntao's embarrassed expression and not knowing what to say, Bai Mianmian smiled slightly and said.

Jiang Ci then realized what had happened, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhuo Juntao was indescribable.

However, he was relieved and abandoned his original plan to take Bai Mianmian to the medical department.

His strong reaction to Zhuo Juntao's words stemmed from the post-war medical examination report.

According to the data analysis in the report, barring any major unforeseen circumstances, no incident of a pollutant riot is likely to occur among the personnel of the Second Army Corps in the coming months.

Therefore, when he heard that Bai Mianmian was going to the medical department, he assumed that someone in the legion had an accident while he was away, causing a riot of pollutants that required Bai Mianmian to deal with.

What alarmed him even more was that, despite such a significant change, he, as the person in charge, had not received a single word of news.

Although he disconnected from the combat communication channel, his terminal was not disconnected, so there was no issue of him being unreachable.

Therefore, he absolutely could not accept such a delay in intelligence gathering and potential dereliction of duty.

"Sister-in-law...it's good that you're alright." In the slightly awkward atmosphere, Zhuo Juntao nodded with an embarrassed smile and said, "It's good that you're alright...Well, I'm going to get busy now. Sister-in-law, boss, please make yourselves at home."

After saying that, he turned around and fled back to his support position, immediately getting to work.

Ling Xinglan and the others, who had been secretly glancing over here, immediately turned back when they saw Zhuo Juntao's embarrassed look, as if he wanted to disappear into the ground, and got busy with their own tasks.

As for whether he's genuinely busy or just pretending to be busy?
Only they themselves know the answer.

Seeing that the person had left and the gazes that had been coming from all directions had disappeared, Bai Mianmian looked up at Jiang Ci, who was still holding her.

Just then, Jiang Ci's gaze also turned to her.

The moment their eyes met, Bai Mianmian, who was about to say something, suddenly smiled brightly, her eyebrows curving into a smile that dazzled someone like sunlight suddenly piercing through the clouds.

Jiang Ci closed his eyes, feeling somewhat deflated.

Angry? He couldn't continue, because he knew very well that he couldn't do anything about her.

Seeing his helpless expression, Bai Mianmian's eyes lit up, and she suddenly leaned forward.

Jiang Ci noticed Bai Mianmian moving and assumed she wanted to get out of his arms, so he opened his eyes and tried to comply with her wishes.

But to his surprise, the moment he opened his eyes, Bai Mianmian kissed him on the lips.

"!" Jiang Ci had barely opened his eyes a crack when he was immediately startled by the sudden soft touch on his lips and opened them wide, revealing a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Bai Mianmian noticed the change in his expression, and her smile deepened.

"Phew~" Suddenly, the sound of gasping for breath echoed throughout the command room.

It turned out that among Zhuo Juntao and the others who had been busy for a while, someone couldn't help but secretly look at Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci again. Unexpectedly, they saw the two kissing, and they were so excited that they couldn't control their breathing.

Hearing the excited gasp that filled the air, the others immediately realized what was happening and turned to look in the direction the person was looking.

Then, they became so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.

For those who react quickly, the terminal's photo and video recording functions are already fully activated.

"Don't be angry anymore, okay?" Bai Mianmian knew that the situation didn't allow for a deeper kiss, so she pressed her forehead against Jiang Ci's, looked into his eyes, and said in a coquettish tone.

Zhuo Juntao and the others immediately became so excited that they shouted silently. What was originally a furtive act of peeping turned into an open and honest look because they were too excited.

Their terminal photos and videos were incredibly stable, with no blurry images caused by shaky hands due to their excitement.

Jiang Ci did not answer Bai Mianmian's question immediately. He turned his eyes slightly and swept his cold gaze over Zhuo Juntao and the others.

"!!!" Zhuo Juntao and the others, who were swept over by his gaze, were startled and quickly shut down their terminals. Then they turned back to their busy work.

Seeing that they were no longer paying attention to them, Jiang Ci put Bai Mianmian down, looked down into her eyes, and said, "If I'm still angry, will you plan to take me with you?"

"..." Bai Mianmian's smile faltered slightly.

He didn't give up so easily after all.

Seeing that Bai Mianmian remained silent, Jiang Ci knew that she still did not want to take him into the wormhole.

With a helpless sigh, Jiang Ci changed the subject, saying, "We'll talk about this later. Mianmian, don't leave my vicinity before the wormhole closes, okay?"

Bai Mianmian did not want to agree to his request, not because the request restricted her freedom, but because she still wanted to find an opportunity to enter the wormhole.

But Jiang Ci clearly didn't want to turn around and not be able to find her, or even not see her for a long time, or even not see her at all in the future.

Thinking of the worst possible outcome, Jiang Ci felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, causing him to clench in pain, and even his breathing became labored.

Jiang Ci tightened his arms around Bai Mianmian's waist, staring intently into her eyes, determined not to give up until she agreed.

After a quiet standoff, Bai Mianmian finally gave in, nodding and whispering, "Okay."

Jiang Ci looked really uncomfortable at that moment, and she didn't want to see him upset or unhappy, so she had no choice but to compromise for the time being.

Jiang Ci knew that she would keep her promise. Hearing this, his heart, which had been tense because of her silence, relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Mm."

When Bai Mianmian saw him smile, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up as well.
