Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

The next morning,

The air in the mountains and forests is always fresher than in the noisy city, and a natural scent wafts over you.

It seems to have rained in the latter half of last night; not only is the air humid, but the ground is also damp.

Crystal-clear raindrops clung to the leaves, each drop seemingly bearing a heavy weight as it slowly pressed down.

Finally, with a drip, the drop of water fell to the ground, splashing ripples, symbolizing the start of the day.

Dormitory area.

Bai Kang slowly opened his eyes, feeling a splitting headache, just like the one he had yesterday from drinking.

"Ugh, this is awful." Bai Kang sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his head. "I haven't had such a bad night's sleep in ages."

Suddenly, he sensed something and let out a soft exclamation.

"This is a shabby room, and the roof leaks?" Bai Kang muttered to himself, looking up at the ceiling, but he couldn't figure it out even after a long while.

I lifted the blanket to check, and sure enough, I found something unusual.

"Seriously, such a high-end military base, and the roof still leaks. I'll have to remind them before I leave."

Bai Kang had no idea that it wasn't a leaky roof, but rather...

With that, Bai Kang put on his slippers, intending to wash up first.

However, just as he finished putting on his shoes and stood up...

thump!

A sudden thud as someone knelt on the floor echoed in the small room.

Bai Kang was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the floor, muttering, "Why do I feel so weak?"

It was only then that he realized he felt weak all over, his whole body ached, and his kidneys were in excruciating pain.

"Damn, I feel so weak, like I've been completely drained." Bai Kang, supporting his lower back, finally managed to stand up and walked step by step to the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror next to the sink.

In the mirror, there was still that face, not stunning, but extremely pleasing to the eye, with dark eyes, a high nose bridge, and a perfect jawline.

However, his dark eyes showed obvious fatigue and a somewhat listless expression.

Bai Kang was completely devastated.

"Could there be some kind of mountain demon in Kunlun Mountain that drains men's yang energy?"

However, no matter how much Bai Kang thought about it, he could never have imagined that someone had actually "ambushed" him last night and drained him dry.

After pondering for a while without success, Bai Kang could only quickly wash up, pack his luggage, and head to the meeting point agreed upon yesterday.

Soon, he arrived at the tarmac and saw those familiar faces from afar.

Mai Xiaowen, Zoya, Luna, Gale, Hagi Bee...

"Little Kangzi, you're putting on quite a show, making us all wait for you," Zoya said with a grin.

Of course, she didn't mean to blame anyone; she was just teasing.

"Sigh, you have no idea, not only does the dormitory ceiling leak, but there also seems to be some unclean thing sucking away our yang energy," Bai Kang said helplessly.

Actually, he got up quite early, but he was thinking about why he felt so weak, which made him late.

"Come on, whether the ceiling leaks or not is another matter, and there's something dirty sucking your yang energy, right? I think you were just knocked out last night." Zoya rolled her eyes, feeling that Bai Kang's excuse was too lame.

Bai Kang was still shocked and ashamed by Zoya's thunderous remarks.

Instead of picking up on the topic of getting confused, Bai Kang looked around.

He noticed that everyone seemed to have rested well yesterday, and they were all full of energy, unlike him who was listless.

Finally, when his gaze fell on Mai Xiaowen, he paused for a moment.

Mai Xiaowen is still the same Mai Xiaowen, beautiful and charming, but compared to yesterday, there seems to be something more ambiguous about her.

Bai Kang pondered for a moment before coming up with that word.

Charm.

Yes, Mai Xiaowen today has a more charming and alluring presence compared to yesterday. In layman's terms, she has shed some of her girlish naiveté and gained a more mature, womanly air.

"What? You noticed too?"

At this moment, Zoya suddenly leaned closer and whispered excitedly, "Don't you think Wheat is even more charming today?"

"Let me tell you, when I saw Xiaomai this morning, I was immediately awestruck. How could she have changed so much overnight? Unfortunately, no matter how much I pressed her, Xiaomai wouldn't tell me the reason."

Zoya scratched her golden hair, looking quite troubled.

Actually, there was something else she didn't say: when she saw Mai Xiaowen this morning, she noticed that although Mai Xiaowen looked better than before, she seemed a little tired and was sweating, as if she had been doing a long-distance run.

At this moment, Mai Xiaowen seemed to notice Bai Kang's gaze and looked over in their direction.

Bai Kang was startled, but quickly relaxed, because the gaze was somewhat different from what he had expected.

He thought Mai Xiaowen would still stare at him with that cold, eerie gaze, like a ghost seeking death, but this time her gaze was very peaceful.

There was no chilling feeling; on the contrary, Bai Kang understood a meaning from that gaze:

You're great, I'm very satisfied.

Bai Kang felt completely baffled; that look was too strange.

"What's going on? Could it be that Xiaomai has let go of her grudges?"

"I didn't do anything, did I? Why is Wheat suddenly being so...friendly?"

Women's hearts are unpredictable. At this moment, Bai Kang really wished he had a favorability system so he could check how much Mai Xiaowen liked him.

Of course, this idea is far-fetched. This is a world that talks about "science," so what kind of system is this?

Only Xiao Kangzi trembled with fear, not daring to anger Mai Xiaowen.

I thought about it a lot, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

"come over."

At this moment, Mai Xiaowen said calmly.

She didn't say her name, but everyone knew she was calling for Bai Kang.

Bai Kang twitched his lips, thinking to himself that although his eyes no longer emitted a ghostly light, his attitude was still as domineering as yesterday.

"With so many people here, you think I can just walk past? Don't I have any dignity?"

He really wanted to say that, but he didn't dare. He couldn't figure out Mai Xiaowen's attitude anymore.

If a man isn't careful, he could become a widow.

So he ignored Haji Bee's suppressed laughter and obediently walked over to Mai Xiaowen's side.

Seeing how obedient Bai Kang was, Mai Xiaowen smiled faintly.

These days... there's more and more hope in them.

However, she only called Bai Kang aside and did nothing else.

She had already done a lot of punishment for Bai Kang last night, and now she was feeling tired, so she didn't intend to continue causing trouble.

She crossed her arms over her chest and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while

The transport helicopter landed amidst a hum, and everyone boarded it in an orderly fashion.

Bai Kang sat in the middle, Mai Xiaowen and Zoya were on the sides, Luna and Jifeng sat together, leaving Hagi Bee alone sitting by herself.

After half an hour,

Everyone arrived at Sleeping Moon City.

Looking down at the bustling city through the glass, Bai Kang silently thought:

"I'm back."
