Chapter 245: Chapter 25 Let me tell you a secret in advance

Gu Xiaoxi looked up, taking in the entirety of the command center at a glance. The geographical location here was excellent, and the villa was built within the mountain, very concealed and safe!

The natural environment here was also superb, free from any disturbances, especially suitable for romantic affairs.

"Woof woof woof!" Xiao Xiao barked twice around Gu Xiaoxi, then, drawn by the smell of meat, darted into the house with a rustle.

"Ah!" Immediately after, a woman’s scream came from inside the house.

Gu Xiaoxi furrowed her brows. Could there be someone else here?

Quan Shaoqing quickly explained, "The house is too big for me to clean by myself, so I hired Aunt Lin to help with the housekeeping and cooking. She’s cooking meat soup for Xiao Xiao, and he probably scared her."

Without a second thought, Gu Xiaoxi hurried into the villa, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Lin standing nervously at the kitchen door, while Xiao Xiao was perched on the ground with his paws on the stove, his eyes shining as he stared at the meat in the pot.

"Xiao Xiao, stop making trouble! Come back here!" Gu Xiaoxi immediately scolded Xiao Xiao, then turned apologetically to Aunt Lin, "Don’t be afraid, he’s very docile, he generally doesn’t bite."

Aunt Lin patted her still-flustered heart, squeezing out a smile. Looking kindly at Gu Xiaoxi she said, "You must be the Miss Xiao Xi that Shaoqing mentioned! This dog is indeed a bit naughty, came up and licked my face, scared me to death. I thought it was going to bite me!"

Gu Xiaoxi was embarrassed. Xiao Xiao’s way of expressing affection was always so direct.

Just then, Quan Shaoqing entered. Aunt Lin quickly went up to him, respectfully taking the clothes from his hand with a smile, "Shaoqing, you’re back. The food is ready just in time. I’ll serve it now."

"Let me help!" Quan Shaoqing rolled up his sleeves and followed Aunt Lin to the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoxi, holding onto Xiao Xiao, looked at the busy Aunt Lin. She seemed to be in her forties, gentle and kind, and it appeared her relationship with Young Master Quan was very good.

During dinner, Aunt Lin was very enthusiastic towards Gu Xiaoxi, constantly offering her food, "Xiao Xi, tell me what you want to eat. Just give me a call, and I can have it prepared and delivered to you."

Looking at the bowl full of dishes, a variety of types, all complete with color, aroma, and flavor, Gu Xiaoxi smiled at Aunt Lin, "That shouldn’t be necessary! I think it’s better to come here to eat."

"That’s fine too, just tell me what you like. I’ll prepare it in advance, ensuring that every time you return, you’ll get to enjoy delicious meals," Aunt Lin said with a beaming smile. Although her features showed her age, she was sprightly, and her bright eyes couldn’t hide the depth of her experiences.

Gu Xiaoxi understood that Aunt Lin might also be a person with a story. To be by Young Master Quan’s side, one had to be no ordinary character. Moreover, this was a military camp, not the outside world.

She picked up her chopsticks and then began eating heartily.

The food tasted great, and she enjoyed it immensely.

Xiao Xiao, who had been gobbling down his bowl, had already swiftly polished off a basin of beef and now lay contentedly under the table, licking the corner of his mouth.

In Quan Shaoqing’s eyes, there was a gentle warmth as he elegantly ate his meal, occasionally helping to shell crab meat for Gu Xiaoxi.

After dinner, moonlight spilled into the mortal world.

In the small garden, there was a stone table, and a vine-woven swing chair hung beside it. Gu Xiaoxi sat on it, swinging her legs, gazing at the stars overhead.

"Where are the roses you gave me?" Gu Xiaoxi turned her head, looking at Quan Shaoqing, who was preparing tea.

The night lay like a giant net behind him, and amidst the brilliant starlight, his demonically charming features were bewitchingly attractive at all times.

Gu Xiaoxi felt a warmth in her eyes and quickly turned away, her heartbeat skipping a beat.

She might not understand love, but she knew how to appreciate a person.

And the only person she could appreciate was him. That unique aura of his, beyond the comparison of fine jade or orchids, made it irresistible to fall for him.

"I put them in your room! You’ll see them as soon as you go back."

Gu Xiaoxi was curious. What method could he have possibly used to preserve roses, complete with their blossoms and fragrance, for a month and a half?

"Come have some tea first, then I’ll take you to see," Quan Shaoqing said with a smile.

Gu Xiaoxi took the water cup from Quan Shaoqing and, while sipping tea, looked towards Aunt Lin who was busy in the villa.

After thinking for a while, she asked Quan Shaoqing, "Do you plan to live here?"

"I am seeking your opinion! If you like it here, we can live here from now on."

Gu Xiaoxi watched Quan Shaoqing elegantly drinking tea and felt a pang of sweetness in her heart. Was he respecting her opinion?

"Let’s live here then!" Gu Xiaoxi thought the environment was nice and quiet, without disturbances. They would have a private courtyard to watch the stars up close together.

Quan Shaoqing picked up his phone and dialed Lin Mi’s number. He instructed, "Move all the materials from the study over here. I will live here from now on, and you should come over too!"

Gu Xiaoxi swayed in the rocking chair, enjoying the evening breeze and the renowned tea. After over a year of being a soldier, life had never been as tranquil as it was at that moment.

Quan Shaoqing put down his phone and then said to Gu Xiaoxi, "I’ll let you in on a secret in advance." Of course, given he was mentioning it, it meant that it wouldn’t be a secret for much longer.

"What?" Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, puzzled. "About what exactly?"

"In six months, the World Military Alliance is going to hold a major military and military dog competition. It will gather famous dogs from all over the world for a large-scale military exercise involving the military, military dogs, and soldiers. It will also be broadcasted live to a global audience," Quan Shaoqing said with a profound gaze.

This was a competition to bring glory to the country and honor to the nation. Therefore, the higher-ups placed great importance on it.

Gu Xiaoxi abruptly rose from the rocking chair, her eyes flashing with an intense fervor, instantly feeling her blood boil.

Her voice quivered with excitement, "Are you saying that Xiao Xiao and I also have a chance to participate?"

"Of course! Because the higher-ups value this competition highly, starting from next month, the national eight major military departments and more than forty military dog squads, along with sixty thousand service military dogs, will commence elimination rounds starting with battalion and Military Department levels. Only those who come out on top can participate in the World Competition. So, winning first place won’t be easy. After all, both you and Xiao Xiao are novices, and you have not even completed the basic training courses."

Gu Xiaoxi became somewhat unsettled.

"Xiao Xiao’s responsiveness, physical endurance, and overall quality definitely aren’t inferior to that of a Champion Dog. That means we need to focus on our level of rapport. Xiao Xiao is highly intelligent; it understands what I say, so training progress is very rapid. Now, the issue is me. As long as I have a very professional dog trainer who is willing to teach me everything he knows, once I learn it, Xiao Xiao will naturally have no problems." The thought of the World Military Competition ignited a fire in Gu Xiaoxi’s bones.

She loved challenges, especially competitions that promised supreme glory.

Quan Shaoqing smiled, knowing she would react with such excitement.

"I am also quite optimistic about Xiao Xiao. If you decide to compete in the World Competition, you have half a month to train with a master I’ll find for you. As for the results, well, that’s yet to be determined."

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxi clapped her hands joyfully. She wasn’t just planning to participate, she aimed to win a place. She wanted to take Xiao Xiao onto the world stage and return in glory.

Quan Shaoqing looked at the confident Gu Xiaoxi and felt extremely peaceful. Her enthusiasm was great, and with six months until the World Competition and three domestic elimination rounds in between, there was ample time for her and Xiao Xiao to build their rapport.

"I just remembered. Isn’t there a special forces selection in two months? What do I do if I want to compete?" Gu Xiaoxi suddenly turned around and glared at Quan Shaoqing. She couldn’t let a competition deter her from the chance to become a top soldier.

"Don’t worry about that. Because the higher-ups place great emphasis on this competition, this year’s special forces selection has been postponed until ten days after the competition’s conclusion." The moonlight was ice-cold like water, and the evening breeze felt a bit chilly.

Quan Shaoqing set down his teacup and checked the time. It was ten o’clock at night, about time.

They should head back to sleep.

Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, feeling even more at ease.

"Let’s go! It’s time for us to rest," Quan Shaoqing stood in front of the swing chair, reaching out his hand to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze fell upon the broad palm extended before her. His fingers were like jade, distinct in their joints. She had never noticed how attractive his hands were.

She reached out her hand, and as he weaved his fingers through hers, he clasped her small palm tightly within his, the warmth from his hand spreading into her palm and warming her heart through her bloodstream.

Shoulder to shoulder, they walked towards the villa’s entrance. The moonlight illuminated their silhouettes, and the starlit path blooming with wildflowers resembled a scene from the Immortal Realm.
