CHAPTER 376: CHAPTER 128: PARTICIPATING IN ADMISSIONS

"Why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a while after your meal? You’ve worked hard these past few days," Ke Lian gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Du Xixi’s eyes, whispering with concern in her ear.

He sat beside Du Xixi, meticulously massaging her hands. Although Du Xixi didn’t find making a dish of rose goose breast tiring for her hands, Ke Lian was happy to serve Du Xixi, and Du Xixi was naturally happy to accept.

"What hard work? I was just sitting on stage like a vase, you’re the one who is more exhausted than me." Upon hearing Ke Lian’s concern, Du Xixi merely shook her head with a smile, then looked at Ke Lian, her eyes filled with warmth, "You should come and rest with me too."

"Alright." Ke Lian ruffled Du Xixi’s hair, gently holding her two jade-like soft hands in his own. Although he didn’t dare to use much strength, he held them firmly, as if no one could take Du Xixi’s hands away from his.

Ke Xing and the others: ...

At this moment, should they disappear? Or disappear?

Though caught off guard by this sudden display of affection, fortunately, Ke Xing and the others were used to the couple’s public displays of intimacy. After feeling a bit choked up, the two adults decisively got up, taking the two kids for a walk.

Not often was it the case—if it wasn’t for Ke Lian and Du Xixi suddenly starting to show affection, and if it wasn’t for Miao Miao having finished the most important admission exam today, it would probably have been Ke Xing alone taking the kids for a walk.

In the spacious villa, soon only Ke Lian and Du Xixi, the two humans, were left... along with one non-human crouching in a corner—2569.

Although the spectators for the public display had left, the couple enjoying their own world of affection continued on happily. Only after even 2569, the robot, found it unbearable, did the couple finally "finish their meal," heading upstairs for a warm nap.

With its program in chaos, 2569 stood up bewildered, and after circling the area a few times, it let out a "beep," realizing that its master’s and madam’s public display of affection had surprisingly harmed a non-human with astonishing lethality.

2569: How do words even begin to describe this misery!

***

After the Alliance Military Competition, Du Xixi and Ke Lian’s life gradually returned to normal. Du Xixi was to continue helping Zhang Ye and the others practice cooking at Blue Star University, while Ke Lian returned to the Military Department to fulfill his duties as an Imperial Marshal of the Empire.

However, Ke Lian returned to the Military Department alone, while Du Xixi was able to take Miao Miao along, the sisters holding each other’s hands as they headed to Blue Star University.

Sitting in the hovercar, Du Xixi habitually covered her lap with a light purple blanket and casually tucked a soft, comically cute pillow into Miao Miao’s arms, who obediently hugged it, gently patting it a few times.

The pillows around Du Xixi were almost all made by 2569, always in an adorably ugly style. Du Xixi and the others gradually got used to them, and sometimes even found them quite cute.

Fortunately, aside from their appearances not being quite to the public’s taste, these pillows had a nice texture to them, otherwise, Du Xixi wouldn’t have placed one deliberately in the hovercar.

"The admission results haven’t come out yet, right?" Du Xixi rubbed her forehead, accidentally bumping it on the bed corner this morning while breastfeeding. Although Ke Lian had carefully applied heat for a long time, it must have been too severe, as it was still faintly painful now.

"Not yet, they said they’re considering everything comprehensively, maybe they’ll release it with this year’s freshman admission list." Miao Miao answered softly but glanced at Du Xixi’s slightly furrowed brows, hesitated for a moment, and finally encouraged, "Miss, perhaps you shouldn’t go to the Food Department? They will understand you."

Du Xixi naturally couldn’t heed this advice, she patted Miao Miao’s shoulder, speaking gently, "I’ve already missed nearly a month because of the Alliance Military Competition. If I don’t return as soon as the competition is over, even if they say nothing on the surface, they might harbor some resentment in their hearts."

Du Xixi had seen too many people—straightforward, tactful, humble, arrogant... But invariably, while Du Xixi could see their character for a moment, she couldn’t see their true nature forever.

People’s hearts are like compartments, who knows what thoughts those seemingly sincere hearts are hiding beneath their friendliness?

Du Xixi admitted, Zhang Ye and the others were indeed very kind natured, even if Du Xixi had to miss out on the Food Department because of the Alliance Military Competition, they never uttered a word of dissatisfaction.
