“Really? So, what would you like to eat today? I'll treat.”
Xu Mo smiled and said.
Yang Jingxuan rolled her eyes in a charming way, her enticing red lips curling slightly upward. “Didn’t you catch onto the other meaning?”
“I did,” Xu Mo nodded slightly, not hiding anything.
Having known Yang Jingxuan for so long,
the two of them were almost as close as people who knew each other inside and out.
The difference was just a matter of time.
It was just a matter of sooner or later.
Yang Jingxuan rarely revealed such a girlish demeanor. “Then, what are your thoughts?”
Their eyes met, one looking at the other.
Neither spoke for a while.
A chuckle.
It wasn’t clear who had laughed first.
Yang Jingxuan’s cheeks turned a blushing pink, very alluring. She raised her little pink fist and lightly punched Xu Mo’s chest. “You jerk! What’s so funny?”
“I suddenly remembered something funny. By the way, what would you like to eat today?” Xu Mo changed the subject.
Yang Jingxuan didn’t seem to care much about the food.
As long as she was with Xu Mo,
no matter what they did, she would feel incredibly happy.
“Anything’s fine. You decide.”
“Well, I know a good place for crab roe noodles. The crabs are at their best this season.”
Under Xu Mo’s suggestion,
the two quickly reached a consensus.
They got into Yang Jingxuan’s limited anniversary edition white 918.
The two made their way to the destination.
The life people aspire to isn’t about big storms and waves.
Peaceful and ordinary is the true essence.
Although it may seem like every day is just the same,
if one day something unexpected happens and disrupts your life,
you might find yourself longing for those seemingly ordinary days.
Over the years, Xu Mo had risen from a small-time employee to unexpectedly getting involved in the founding of a world-class company and its subsequent escape operation.
Then he had gained certain strength,
contributing more to society.
His life had been nothing short of spectacular, having seen everything from great storms to big waves.
Trying to go back to being in that earlier state was almost impossible.
But still,
life goes on, and as long as you adjust your mindset,
no problem is too big to handle.
A classic restaurant specializing in crab roe noodles.
At peak mealtimes, the place was packed to the brim.
It was clear that this place was incredibly popular, and having stayed in business for so long,
there must be a reason behind its success.
They ordered two servings of crab roe noodles, along with some additional dishes.
Today, Xu Mo was going to treat himself.
The noodles were coated with a rich crab roe flavor, and with one bite, the burst of crab roe in the mouth was indescribable in its freshness and satisfaction.
When it came to enjoying good food,
Xu Mo wasn’t too particular. He wasn’t one to overly fuss about things under normal circumstances.
After all, eating is about enjoying yourself, so why not eat with gusto?
It’s worth mentioning that Xu Mo’s eating style wasn’t the kind of ravenous, ravenous beast you’d expect from someone who’s starving.
He ate methodically, just a bit faster than the average person.
Compared to Yang Jingxuan next to him,
who delicately slurped her noodles with elegant poise.
They finished their sumptuous lunch.
Yang Jingxuan proactively bought Xu Mo a cup of the newly launched jasmine milk tea.
The two wandered around the mall aimlessly.
“After finishing teaching, do you have any plans? Or, how many years do you plan to teach?”
Yang Jingxuan walked by Xu Mo’s side, the two standing very close, her hands holding the milk tea, her fingers gripping the cup slightly tighter due to nervousness.
Xu Mo thought for a moment. “I plan to teach for three to five years, more or less.”
Training two to three batches of excellent police officers would make Xu Mo feel he had done everything he could.
After all, this kind of thing is like rolling snowballs.
Veterans lead the newcomers; in three to five years, the newcomers become veterans, who then begin training the next generation.
It’s a cycle that repeats itself.
All Xu Mo needed to do was
get the ball rolling.
Everything else would follow its natural course.
Xu Mo believed that, no matter what, things would develop in a positive direction.
So there was no need to overthink it.
Thump thump.
Yang Jingxuan’s heartbeat raced, so fast that it felt like she could hear her own heartbeats.
With courage, she asked another question.
“After that? Where will you go once you’re done teaching?”
This time, Xu Mo pondered seriously before answering, “The world is so big; I’d like to explore it. There are still so many countries I haven’t been to. At that time, I’ll probably wander the world.”
“Then... do you want someone to keep you company?”
Yang Jingxuan blinked, her expression just as serious as she looked at Xu Mo.
Who knew how nervous she was right now, how afraid.
Nervous about what Xu Mo would say next, afraid too, afraid that Xu Mo would say something to reject her.
“Well...” Xu Mo deliberately drew out the tone, looking at the extremely nervous Yang Jingxuan...
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
