30. Show Love main task 7: Stay close to Lou Yuan for 24 hours

I'm so sorry about this, but the chapter in this novel is really messed up on the website. So chapter 29 ended with a few more sentences which I've already added, please check out. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Shi Lingxi slowly opened his eyes. After three or four seconds, he was completely awake. He sat up and scanned his eyes around once. He looked at the window, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Lou Yuan visited his room last night.

Shi Lingxi was happily determined, then got up and went to wash in the bathroom.

He washed and came out, Lou Yuan also came out of the room, Shi Lingxi took a step closer, and asked a little surprised, "Did you rest well yesterday?" Although it is not obvious, Lou Yuan's overall condition is a little worse than usual.

Shi Lingxi continued to wonder the reasons why Lou Yuan might not have a good rest. At this moment, Lou Yuan took a step closer, so that they were almost stuck together.

"Huh?" Shi Lingxi raised his eyebrows slightly puzzled.

As he continued to wonder, Lou Yuan bowed his head and kissed his forehead first, then raised his chin and kissed his lips.

"Morning." Lou Yuan smiled and continued to rub Shi Lingxi's hair, feeling quite good to touch.

Shi Lingxi's lips opened slightly, and he couldn't react to Lou Yuan's sudden active response. Similarly, he was also stunned by Lou Yuan's smile, then he continued to be led downstairs in a daze.

Lou Yuan today is indeed a bit strange. Is this also one of the sequelae of not rested well?

Shi Lingxi glanced back at Lou Yuan who was busy in the kitchen. He shook his head and then went into the training room to exercise. Halfway through the training, the daily tasks and the main tasks are refreshed together, and there is another "kissing" item in the daily tasks.

Shi Lingxi glanced at it but didn't intend to pay more attention to it. It was enough to test Lou Yuan once on the street yesterday. He kissed like this once a day, let alone Lou Yuan, even he himself couldn't bear it.

"Show Love main task 7: Stay close to Lou Yuan for 24 hours, the longest distance must not be greater than 5 meters, otherwise the timer will restart. Task duration: 10 days. Task rating: E ​​(easy). The task cannot be completed within the time limit. The host will be punished by E8 level punishment."

Shi Lingxi habitually stared at the simple tasks one for a while, then moved his gaze away to study the details of other missions, 5 meters, 24 hours, close to the Lou Yuan... Shi Lingxi shook his head internally, he was a little worried that Lou Yuan thought he was annoying.

But the more fortunate thing is that the task period was extended to 10 days, and overall he was not so anxious.

He finished his morning exercises, and Lou Yuan's breakfast was cooked. It was quite hearty. It seemed like he was going to make up for everything they didn't eat yesterday.

Shi Lingxi was also considerate, he accompanied Lou Yuan to sweep out all the food.

"It's delicious," Shi Lingxi determined to praise Lou Yuan's cooking skills. There is nothing to exaggerate. Lou Yuan's cooking skills are indeed improving day by day.

Lou Yuan nodded, after thinking for a while, he proposed, "I'll come over to eat with you at noon."

"Okay," Shi Lingxi nodded again and again. Now he really wants to stick with Lou Yuan for 24 hours. It's a pity that they still have jobs, the reality cannot tolerate them being together.

Shi Lingxi thought about it in his heart. In the past few days, he tried his best to advance or postpone the work of the laboratory, and set aside one day to become Lou Yuan's tail, and he would not leave even a step far.

Looking at the 10-day period, once something accident happens, he will not be able to complete this task, so he can complete it as early as possible at a time that not too close to the deadline.

When he arrived at the military headquarters, Shi Lingxi still watched Lou Yuan leave. He sighed slightly regretful. The timer he stayed with Lou Yuan returned to zero.

Lou Yuan stopped at the top of the building's stairs. He looked back at Shi Lingxi's reluctant appearance. He felt helpless, but it was sweeter than can't be described in words. This was the first time he encountered such a mischievous person, he had no idea how to deal with him.

Shi Lingxi's reluctance temporarily ended at the entrance of the laboratory. After entering, he couldn't allow himself to be distracted and thinking too much. It was not until noon when he saw Lou Yuan who came to eat lunch with him that he remembered his mission again.

After eating, they went to the Superfunction Association building together. Shi Lingxi spent a little while in Lou Yuan's office, but he still couldn't do it. He couldn't move all the work to Lou Yuan's office for processing.

"Did the two ordinary people introduced by Vice President Wang come here yet?" Shi Lingxi sat in his office and asked Su Ling, "Bring them in when they arrived."

"I'll let them inside in a moment." Su Ling got up from her position and nodded to Shi Lingxi. She left the office for a while and brought in two well-dressed men in suits.

After they came in, Shi Lingxi's mouth evoked a very faint and very cold smile, the two people were completely shocked that they couldn't react. Shi Lingxi raised his hand, Meng Qingxin and Su Ling, who were collating information in the office went out together. 

"Xue Jiang, Hou Yang, long time no see."

Shi Lingxi still sat in the position, leaning back slightly, staring at them with cold eyes, Xue Jiang and Hou Yang instantly covered their forehead with cold sweat, which is scarier than seeing ghosts in the daytime to them.

"Lin...Linxi..." Xue Jiang was calmer than Hou Yang, but his eyes were still full of astonishment that couldn't be put away. If they saw him again in another place, they wouldn't be so surprised.

But originally they wanted to meet Lou Yuan's trusted aide, the real power figures of the Association, they never expected that such a person would be someone they were trying to silence, Lin Xi who had no relatives and no friends in the team toward the north.

"My name is Shi Lingxi," Shi Lingxi tapped gently on the table with his fingertips, and the coldness in his eyes became even more intense.

Hou Yang knelt down with a soft leg, his body was trembling slightly. He was afraid that those hopes he had would be over here. Shi Lingxi was backed by Lou Yuan, he just needs to open his mouth and wanted two ordinary people from Wang Mu, Wang Mu would also not opposed him.

Maybe it doesn't need to be like this at all. Shi Lingxi only needs to kick them out of the association and use a little trick to prevent them from mixing in the Beicheng base. Once they leave the Beicheng base, there are more chances to kill them.

"You, what do you want?" Xue Jiang stared at Shi Lingxi with a stiff expression. His reason gradually returned, and he also noticed something. Shi Lingxi looked like he was not going to kill them.

When Shi Lingxi heard the words, he seemed to think about it for a moment, and he said coldly, "I want you to do some things for me."

Although they are ordinary people, they are regarded as the spy that Wang Mu put in the association, or they are the spy that targets him. Otherwise, he will not be chosen to arrange work for them.

He could refuse, or directly assign them to unemployed posts, but he didn't plan to do so. Wang Mu wanted to put people near his side, there were many methods, it was not because they had no one else.

On the contrary, he also wanted to plant someone on Wang Mu's side too, but at the present, he couldn't do it yet.

The arrival of Xue Jiang and Hou Yang opened up another way for him. This is much more valuable than directly killed them for revenge. For long-term consideration, Shi Lingxi chooses their surplus value.

"What, what do you say?" Xue Jiang continued to ask, but the cold sweat on his forehead was increased even more. They spent some time with Shi Lingxi, they had some understanding of his style of doing things, one of them is never suffered a loss. 

If he can spare them, it means that Shi Lingxi will definitely recover enough values from them.

Therefore that day, they chose to silence him directly instead of letting Shi Lingxi reach Beicheng, so they pulled some tricks. They were afraid of Shi Lingxi, they were afraid of him even when they were companions once.

After that, they continued to chat in the office for nearly half an hour. Shi Lingxi got up and personally helped them open the door and let them leave. At the same time, their positions were confirmed.

One goes to the superfunction registration office, and the other goes to the window for receiving the B-level missions. These two positions can be regarded as positions with real power. As for whether they can become a supervisor or director, it depends on their own efforts and the support Wang Mu gave them.

When they met and chatted, Wang Mu was also meeting with Tan Yuanshan in the only teahouse inside the base. Although he had collected Shi Lingxi's first-hand information, he was not in Beicheng for three years. Some information could not be updated, he can only start from Shi Lingxi's cousin here.

"What?" Tan Yuanshan's expression was shocked. Shi Lingxi became the chief secretary of the association. It has been made public within the association and in the superfunction teams but has not yet been passed to the research center. To be more precise, no one told him and Shi Jing's family.

If Wang Mu didn't say, Tan Yuanshan had to officially open the Superfunction Association before he might know this from the notices everywhere.

"Don't you know?" Wang Mu stared at Tan Yuanshan, with some doubts in his heart. Shi Lingxi became the chief secretary of the association and kept the secret from his family and relatives. Looking at Tan Yuanshan's expression, his surprise was not fake.

After hearing the words, Tan Yuanshan settled down for a while before speaking again, "Big Brother Wang doesn't know, Shi Lingxi...My cousin and my uncle and aunt have a bad relationship. He didn't live with us, he lives with Lou Yuan."

Wang Mu narrowed his eyes when he heard this. The only person he was afraid of in Beicheng was Lou Yuan, so he never reached out to the military and Lou Yuan's residence situation. Similarly, Lou Yuan would not easily come to investigate his life privacy.

So if Tan Yuanshan didn't say this, he really couldn't know that the relationship between Shi Lingxi and Lou Yuan was so close.

"What is their relationship?" Wang Mu confirmed with Tan Yuanshan again.

"Lou Yuan's grandfather and my grandfather are comrades-in-arms, my cousin also counts as raised up by them. Lou Yuan probably looked after him because of this relationship." Tan Yuanshan said this, still based on the impression of his previous life. Lou Yuan and Shi Lingxi had a lot of intersections, but they were only friends who had a good relationship. 

After Lou Yuan died, Shi Lingxi arose as the core of the research center, and his status in the Beicheng base is becoming more and more important in the later period.

Tan Yuanshan heard a lot of Shi Lingxi and Wang Mu's gossip at the superfunction registration office. It seems that Wang Mu pursued Shi Lingxi for a period of time, Shi Lingxi and Lou Yuan's gossip hadn't been heard before, so he subconsciously felt that the relationship between Shi Lingxi and Lou Yuan would not change much.

Wang Mu's eyes flashed, he was noncommittal about this. He had seen Lou Yuan and Shi Lingxi's interaction. Lou Yuan's trust in Shi Lingxi was extraordinary. This relationship is still not enough for Lou Yuan to do this.

Wang Mu came to Tan Yuanshan on this trip, and he didn't gain much, Tan Yuanshan and Shi Lingxi can be described as a bad relationship. His evaluation of Shi Lingxi is not in full compliance with reality, it can only be used as a reference.

Translator's Note: Not of Importance, just read if you're free.

Sorry for the late update, I was reading a manhwa, Remarried Empress. Yeah, it's my first time reading it and it's quite popular so I decided to read it, the art is great. But this is the most frustrating manhwa I ever read, I really need to swear someone every chapter. My mental power is almost exhausted. I want to share with you guys here, so it is about a perfect empress with a stupid ass husband, the emperor brought a white lotus pretentious bitch to be his concubine. And you can imagine most of the next scenario. Fortunately, there's a prince from another country who loves the empress, so when the emperor divorced the empress, the prince asked her hand for marriage. The manhwa still had not reached that section yet so I spent like, almost two days reading the novel. You might think it will be satisfying to face slap the emperor, but the female lead is a bit passive, she was so cold to everyone but her heart is not cold at all, there's not a peaceful day inside the novel, it's too realistic that I want to bang my head on my pillow. I'm too impatient to know the ending because the novel translation is still not complete so I MTL it and I read almost 70% of the novel, I checked inside the spoiler forum then I got a mind-blowing scene, SPOILER ALERT, READ IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, the emperor regret, yeah I know he will, and ask the empress to come back then she comes back, she comes back. OMG! I know there're more reasons for it, but she asked him to swear not to cheat again and she agreed to forgive him, and they remarried. I really want to ask the author, you build up the issues higher than mount Everest and at the end it back to zero points, where is the face slapping the scum scene I want, I dropped it, I can't waste my time reading this anymore. If anyone had read it and found that I was wrong, please tell me, or maybe leave the author's address, I will go and get even with her.
