Song Xiaomi had not warmed up to Li Yuan. Try as he might, Song Xiaomi would not respond to his calls.

“Xixi.” Li Yuan gazed at his fair lady who was lying on the sofa and called her. Receiving no response, he approached to find her asleep.

He carefully turned her over and drew a thin sheet over her. Observing the girl in deep slumber, he could not hide the adoration in his eyes. Li Yuan would never get sick of watching her in silence.

“Boss!” Kun Lun stepped into the living room, shouting out loud since he did not see Shen Xi and thought there was no one else in the room.

Li Yuan shot him an angry and warning glare.

With his hair standing on end, Kun Lun finally spotted Shen Xi asleep on the sofa. He tiptoed over and handed some documents to Li Yuan.

Ever since Ms. Shen began treatment on Boss, the latter’s health was improving day by day. Kun Lun hoped that Boss’s road to recovery would continue until he was in the pink and able to stand up.

Li Yuan took the documents and sent Kun Lun on his way, looking through them while keeping her company.

Shen Xi opened her eyes to the man who was serious at work. She stared at him in a trance without making a peep, unable to get enough of him.

Li Yuan had long noticed that his fair lady was awake. Her smoldering gaze made his heart skip a beat as he cleared his throat and looked back at her. “Are you awake?”

Nodding, Shen Xi lay on her side and listlessly propped her chin against her hand. “Brother, I can’t be home during military training. I’m also not allowed to leave the base, so I can’t see you.”

Her school’s military training was taking place at the capital’s military base. She would be eating and sleeping at the base and undergo the same strict training as recruited soldiers.

“Okay.” Li Yuan answered in a low voice while pretending to read his documents. He would be lying to say he was not upset. He had a sinking feeling at the pit of his stomach just thinking he would not see her daily smile and greeting.

Having a clear view of the man clutching onto his papers, Shen Xi continued. “I won’t be able to see you for a month. Will you miss me?”

Li Yuan felt a lump in his throat. He hummed a single syllable in response despite the urge to say yes aloud. How could he not miss her? He would toss and turn for hours on end at every second of her absence.

Shen Xi proceeded with the teasing. “How much will you miss me?”

Keeping to himself, Li Yuan let out a cough. However, his ear was stained with a suspicious rosiness.

Shen Xi jolted up and drew large circles with her hands before uttering, “I’ll miss you a lot. I’ll miss you this much.”

Li Yuan’s heart was melting because of the girl’s adorable gesture. It took his all to pull back his overpowering feelings. Any more of the sultry frolics and he could not promise he could hold the beast in. He acknowledged her comment before changing the subject at hand. “What time are you leaving tomorrow?”

The girl was going to report to school tomorrow and straight to the military base. Students coming from abroad would usually have to go early, but there was no rush since Shen Xi was a local.
