Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Aunt surely misses Uncle

After the third-grade students finished their exams, there was a summary meeting for all teachers and students before the official vacation began.

As she entered, Qu Tong saw Qu Wanwan, who didn’t seem to be in a good state.

Even talking to her little sister seemed distracted, and the thick makeup couldn’t conceal her swollen, red eyes.

The gloom and resentment in her eyes were impossible to hide, and it was likely that Qu Wanwan could no longer perform her initial pretense and artifice.

Background and power sometimes really do bring confidence. In the past, even if Qu Wanwan wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, she was still arrogant and clear-headed.

Now she had lost that, she couldn’t accept it, and she was desperately trying to return to her former circumstances.

But she had pinned her hopes on someone else, a person who was inherently unreliable, which was quite laughable.

Suddenly, Qu Wanwan turned her head and locked eyes with Qu Tong.

Qu Tong smiled faintly nonchalantly, as if she didn’t care about anything at all, and proceeded to the Pharmaceutical Department’s area.

Qu Tong’s smile was serene and indifferent, carrying no trace of emotion, as if she were entirely unconcerned about everything. Yet Qu Wanwan felt deeply humiliated and mocked. Her hands clenched so tightly that her whole body trembled slightly.

Only when she felt a slight pain in her abdomen did she suddenly come back to her senses, hastily taking out a capsule from the Space Button and swallowing it with water.

She tried to breathe deeply to calm herself down. She couldn’t get too emotional, she had to stay well, to give birth to this child smoothly.

The end-of-term summary was as boring as ever. Qu Tong and Xu An were both singled out for praise, but neither of them reacted much.

Qu Tong was just being her usual self, while Xu An understood deeply that his own abilities were not that strong, and he owed much to his sister’s Energy Liquid.

On the second day of vacation, when the Crown Princess Consort invited Qu Tong to the palace, Qu Tong took the opportunity to share her thoughts with the Empress Dowager as well.

Gong Lingyu listened and did not seem too opposed, but she was concerned about Qu Tong’s health and suggested she ask Si Yuting for his opinion.

This put Qu Tong in a difficult position.

She didn’t feel that Gu Xiu and the others were monitoring her, it was just that without the school as a cover, it wasn’t so convenient to switch identities.

How could she tactfully convey this to Si Yuting?

"Auntie, the water is overflowing," Niannian’s soft, tender voice sounded in her ears, and Qu Tong came back to her senses, apologizing as she put the teapot down.

After eating lunch at Jade Snow Garden, Niannian was learning tea ceremony with the Crown Princess Consort, and Qu Tong followed to watch.

Niannian was not so much learning as playing, and she enthusiastically invited Qu Tong to join her.

Niannian tilted her head to look at Qu Tong, the white pom-pom on her head tilting to one side as well, looking extremely cute.

After several glances, Niannian suddenly slapped her head as if having an epiphany, "I know! Auntie must be missing Uncle."

Qu Tong was startled and then laughed, reaching out to touch the little pom-pom on Niannian’s head, "Yes, Niannian is really smart."

"Hee hee, Grandmother also praises me like that."

The Empress and Qu Tong exchanged a smile.

As usual, Qu Tong took the opportunity while playing with Niannian to check her health.

She wondered if it was because she had left some of her Special Ability in Niannian the last time, but the effect of RA7745 was much faster than before.

With the dual protection of her Special Ability, she wasn’t worried about any side effects.

When Qu Tong returned to Yuelan Bay that evening, still hesitating over her decision, she received a communication from Si Yuting before she could make up her mind.

"If you don’t want Xuan Ping and the others to follow, just arrange for them to stay at Yuelan Bay, I’ll speak to them, and they’ll listen to you from now on," Si Yuting got straight to the point.

"Ah?" Qu Tong was momentarily taken aback.

And then she heard Si Yuting continue,

"Mother has already told me."

He paused, as if hesitating about something.

"If you want to come to Abel Star, come."

Qu Tong now understood; she didn’t even have to speak, as the considerate Empress Dowager had said everything for her.

Si Yuting’s agreement came so readily that she was somewhat surprised.

She thought that it was probably because her performance in the final exam had reassured him with the strength she had shown.

Although S-rank strength wasn’t top-tier and wouldn’t last a move in front of Si Yuting—getting scorched by a single lightning strike—it was still considered excellent.

"Okay," Qu Tong replied cheerily, having forgotten the words Si Yuting had said afterward.

And Si Yuting only thought Qu Tong was responding to the latter part of his sentence.

So when the application was sent over a week ago, he still hadn’t heard from Qu Tong.

After inquiring, he found out that Qu Tong had already left Capital Star.

Si Yuting looked at the small tomatoes at the edge of the table and felt an inexplicable sense of blockage in his heart...

He stood up and walked to the window, observing the scene at the training ground.

A small figure followed a group of tall figures in training.

Crawling through trenches, climbing over obstacles, running to dodge gunfire, every move was much harder than for the professionally trained elites of the Skywolf Legion, but she was barely making the grade.

Sai Pu, not minding the mud on his body or his messy hair, rushed back to the base.

Approaching Si Yuting with arrogance, he declared, "I’ve done it; it’s time for you to keep your promise."

Si Yuting looked at Sai Pu and couldn’t help frowning, his cool gaze turning to Cheng Feng who followed Sai Pu in, and only after seeing Cheng Feng nod did he open his optical computer.

His well-defined fingers tapped lightly a few times: "I’ve given you the optical computer number."

Sai Pu opened his optical computer, sent a friend request with ecstatic joy, and waited expectantly for the other side to accept.

But as soon as the message was sent, he was instantly rejected.

Sai Pu’s facial expression split apart in an instant.

Seeing this, Si Yuting slowly curved his lips.

Sai Pu glared at Si Yuting and left in a huff, the door slamming with a "clang."

Incoming Jiang Zhou, who was flipping through a report, looked up at the doorway and shook his head with a smile: "If only he had put a remark, he wouldn’t have been instantly rejected."

Jiang Zhou looked back at his commanding officer and shook his head again, still finding the officer sly.

He could have just shared it directly, and if the lady saw that it was the officer who referred her, she’d likely accept even without a comment. Instead, the officer chose to let Sai Pu search and apply on his own, all without making a sound.

Still too young~

Jiang Zhou refocused on the test results in his hands, his expression turning solemn:

"Sai Pu’s growth rate is too fast, not only physically but also in terms of stamina and learning ability. Even Cheng Feng couldn’t get these results after two months in the First Army Corps back in the day, and Sai Pu is still a kid."

"There’s another thing, Sai Pu seems to be interested in the vine plant in our hall; every time he looks at it, his eyes seem to emit a green light."

This puzzled him.

Si Yuting’s eyes were deep, and his fingers tapped on the desk rhythmically.

After a while, he opened his optical computer and called Wu Yue in.

Si Yuting handed Wu Yue the recent files and an object resembling a USB drive and ordered solemnly: "Have the undercover agent check this data in other countries."

"Yes, boss."

Wu Yue took the files, dozens of pages detailing Sai Pu’s medical checks from the beginning to the end, including his recent training scores.

After copying the information inside the USB drive to his own optical computer, he gave it back to Si Yuting.
