Yun Yun nodded.
The two started fighting again...
"call…"
The next day, Xia Mu woke up from his deep sleep, feeling refreshed.
He didn't practice with Yun Yun all night, but instead reserved two hours for deep sleep to ensure he had the energy.
When I opened my eyes, I felt heavy on my body, and dark red hair filled my field of vision.
Erii was sleeping soundly on his side, her long, straight legs draped over his lap. Sunlight cast beautiful shadows on her smooth face, making her look like an angel, yet also like a child.
He's just not like a wife...
Xia Mu raised his hand and gently stroked her soft, long hair, enjoying the wonderful feeling of her clinging to him, and began a new day.
"Key" has been staying in the guest room for more than ten days. Every day, besides nursing and sleeping, he just looks at the scenery and cries. He's probably the easiest baby to take care of.
Most importantly, he becomes exceptionally well-behaved whenever Erii appears, obediently so.
"Hello Xia Mu, today is the first day of school at Kassel College. On behalf of all the teachers and students, I would like to welcome you to this big family."
Because of my participation in the Executive Department's special operations, I will handle all your enrollment procedures for you, so there's no need to worry.
The course selection form has been sent to you. Please complete your course selection as soon as possible. Finally, I wish you a smooth journey and look forward to seeing you at the college soon. — Norma, College Secretary
A message was sent to my phone.
Xia Mu glanced at it a few times, then picked up Erii's phone, unlocked it with fingerprint recognition, and sure enough, there was the exact same information.
"It seems Lu Mingfei is starting school today. I guess he won't be as upset about the dragon race this time..."
He put down his phone and went outside to pick up the breakfast he had ordered.
But then the phone started buzzing and vibrating.
"Hello."
He answered the phone.
"Xia Mu, the mission has made progress. Now you and Xia Liyi need to bring the 'key' and meet us as soon as possible," Ye Sheng's calm voice came through.
Xia Mu hummed in agreement: "Where should we meet?"
"Go up the river and wait for our news near the Three Gorges Dam," Ye Sheng said.
"it is good."
Xia Mu put down his phone, thought about the truth behind the so-called investigation mission, and went over the contingency plan in his mind again.
"No major problem. The only thing to worry about is how many members of this exploration team, which was wiped out except for the 'key,' can I save?" he muttered to himself.
He then contacted Chen Ning, saying he wanted to travel to the Three Gorges for a few days, and that the two of them would go abroad to study afterward.
Chen Ning was shocked for a moment, but she suppressed the urge to lash out and quickly devised a plan. She would take advantage of the Three Gorges trip to temporarily wrap up the filming of the dating reality show, and then release an album every year during the school year, and complete endorsement filming and announcements during the holidays.
Against the Gods
Unfortunately, in the current agency relationship, Xia Mu is in a dominant position…
"Let's go, we're going to the Three Gorges!"
So, when Lu Mingfei met Fingel, an eighth-year student, at Kassel College, Xia Mu and Erii landed at the Three Gorges Airport with the "key".
The past few days have been spent eating, drinking, traveling, and filming a program.
Until Ye Sheng contacted them again.
"Come, come, let me see how our baby has been these days."
As evening fell, Natsuki and Erii boarded the "Moniah" tugboat amidst calm seas... a large vessel that looked like a tugboat but was actually a warship.
Professor Mans Rundstedt, who is also the captain of the ship, greeted them along with Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya.
However, Professor Mans, who was smoking a cigar, was clearly more concerned about the "key". He couldn't help but smile when he saw the baby sleeping soundly in Xia Mu's arms.
"Well done, young man."
He reached out and patted Xia Mu on the shoulder, then reached out to take the "key" from him.
"Wow—"
As soon as the baby left Xia Mu's arms, it started wailing and crying, and its two little hands were tightly gripping Xia Mu's collar.
Professor Mans awkwardly withdrew his hand: "'Key', why does it like you so much?"
"How should I know?" Xia Mu shrugged and hugged the "key" again.
Professor Mans's gaze was now fixed entirely on his face. He took off his cigar, blew a smoke ring to the side, and then turned back.
He smiled and said, "When Principal Angers asked you to join my mission team, I initially refused. Even if I had agreed later, I would have only intended for you to stay on the shore and observe. Even if you are outstanding students selected by the branch, you are not suitable for this kind of mission before graduation, let alone you who are still freshmen."
"Oh, then we'll just follow along and learn from them, that's all." Xia Mu smiled.
"But Nono told me something..."
Professor Mans noticed Xia Mu frowning and explained, "Students are required to report any unusual events to the academy during the holidays. This is a summer assignment, not something she did on purpose."
"Oh." Xia Mu nodded.
Professor Mans looked at him with curiosity in his light blue eyes: "Nono said that you encountered strange things in Suzhou. She couldn't tell if it was an illusion or reality, but she was certain that your ability seemed to be extremely effective against those monsters with ignited golden eyes?"
Xia Mu smiled and said, "So-so, just average, not bad, not too good, not too bad either."
Professor Mans: "..."
Chapter 109 Will You Leave?
"Then you can stay on the ship and take care of 'Key'. This mission will still depend on Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji. Hopefully, you won't need to do anything."
Professor Mans returned to his captain's cockpit.
"Don't worry about it. Professor Mans isn't looking down on you; he just doesn't want new students like you to take risks. Come with me; rooms for the two of you have already been prepared. Oh, and..."
Shudeya led the two into the aft cabin, smiling as she asked, "It seems you're staying together. Is it one room or two rooms on the ship?"
Xia Mu asked calmly, "So, will you and Senior Ye Sheng share a room or two rooms?"
Aki Shuto's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. She reached out and gently stroked her hair to hide her emotions: "Of course, it's two different places... I have nothing to do with him. Unlike you guys, your love affair is known throughout the whole country."
Do you watch dating reality shows too?
Xia Mu smiled and said, "Actually, what we say in public is true. I'm not lying to you. We really are in contact with each other."
"Even though we live together..."
Shutoku Aki turned around and glanced at Erii, who was following closely behind him and looking around suspiciously. He looked at him with some suspicion: "You don't have other ideas, do you? Erii is liked by many people. Be careful not to arouse public anger."
“No,” Natsuki reached out and touched Erii’s head, speaking softly, “she’s too young…”
"Young? Aren't you all nineteen this year?" Shude Aki asked, puzzled.
Xia Mu shook his head: "Her mental age is too young. How perverted would anyone be to lay a hand on a clueless child!"
Shude Aki was stunned, then looked at them seriously for a few moments, her face gradually filling with a smile: "You're protecting her because she's a little child?"
“Yes,” Xia Mu nodded, pointing to the baby in her arms, “I’m taking care of two children now.”
Aki looked at him seriously for a few moments: "Aren't you worried that she might fall for someone else in the future?"
"I heard that you and Senior Ye Sheng were partners for five whole years after graduation. During countless deep dives, you were each other's only support. In that dark and gloomy environment, under such terrible pressure, you only had each other..."
Xia Mu paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Are you worried that Senior Ye Sheng might like someone else?"
Shudeya blushed again and quickly shook her head in denial: "We're just partners."
“I know, I know, you’re just partners,” Xia Mu nodded repeatedly, then added in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
Shudeya turned around awkwardly: "Come on, your room is just ahead."
She was no longer curious about the relationship between Natsuki and Erii, because Natsuki had already given her the answer.
In the future, just like her and Ye Sheng, Xia Mu and Erii will always stay together, relying on each other. With such long-term trust and companionship, trust will become a tacit understanding.
"Your rooms have a door in the middle that allows passage. The side with the lockable door is Xia Liyi's," said Shudeya, pointing to the two rooms.
It was obvious that she had put thought into arranging the rooms.
"Is this the same room you and Senior Ye Sheng share?" Xia Mu asked casually.
"No, no, that's not true!"
This time, Shudeyaki got a little anxious: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Just asking, don't get excited."
Xia Mu knew she didn't want to be separated from Ye Sheng on the mission, so she absolutely didn't want Professor Mans and the others to notice anything amiss.
She and Ye Sheng were reserved yet tacitly in sync. Often, a single glance or gesture could bring them joy for a long time, without the need for words.
"Be happy..."
Xia Mu watched her retreating figure disappear hurriedly around the corner and murmured something under his breath.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya appeared vividly before his eyes, and he knew that they had loved each other for many years but were about to die. In the end, even their confession was so hasty. Such an unpredictable fate and regret made him feel sorry.
"Mumu, what's wrong?"
Erii nervously tugged at his hand.
Natsuki instinctively tightened his grip on her hand and asked softly, "Eri, what do you think our ending will be?"
"Deceiving Emperor Kangxi"
Erii's long eyelashes trembled: "I...I don't know..."
“I wonder if we will end up like them,” Xia Mu said, a hint of worry in his eyes. “Many things, even if we do our best, often don’t yield good results. Even though I know this is true, even though I know I should cherish the present, I still worry about it.”
Erii's beautiful eyes grew increasingly bewildered: "Mumu... I don't understand..."
For the first time, she wanted to know his meaning so much; for the first time, she sensed his unease; for the first time, she wanted to become as capable as him.
She wants to learn more.
"It's nothing, I was just worried. I'll still do what I need to do."
