The next moment, images of the two appeared on the projector and screen.
When the image became clear, both of them were stunned for a moment.
After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Yu Xiao's eyes immediately reddened when she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night.
"Tangtang, I miss you..."
His voice was full of grievance: "I didn't want to break the rules, but Xu Lanze plays video games all the time, and he said that this kind of behavior would at most result in a minor demerit, not a big mistake. So, I couldn't help but want to see you..."
As soon as Yu Xiao's voice came out, Yu Tang's heart softened.
He said, "Yes, I know."
“I won’t blame you. Because…” Yu Tang scratched her hair and replied, “I missed you too.”
"And I'm starting to regret not letting you contact me secretly."
Yu Xiao was completely stunned when she heard this.
Staring at the somewhat uneasy and shy man on the screen, she felt a sudden itch and numbness in her heart.
Then I couldn't help but hug the game console and roll around on the bed, excited like a child.
"I knew it! Tangtang, you missed me too!"
When Xu Lanzhe returned from the restroom, this was the scene he witnessed.
Startled, he took half a step back before carefully climbing back to his bed.
He felt he had to get used to Yu Xiao's rapid mood swings. Otherwise, he'd be scared to death.
Afterwards, Yu Tang asked Yu Xiao a lot about what had happened these past few days and chatted with him for a long time without feeling sleepy.
However, Yu Xiao gradually steered the conversation off-topic.
They're becoming increasingly unserious.
With the blanket over her head, Yu Xiao whispered to Yu Tang, "Tangtang, besides me, there's someone else who really misses you. Do you know who it is?"
Yu Tang asked curiously, "Hmm? Who is it?"
Then he saw Yu Xiao move the game console a little further away, the camera captured Yu Xiao's face, and then looked down: "Guess?"
Yu Tang: "¿¿¿"
Chapter 37
Died for the seventh time for the villain (37)
That's outrageous.
Yu Tang was in a real bind.
He held up a finger to Yu Xiao in a shushing gesture: "Are you crazy! You're staying at the hotel right now, what if Xu Lanzhe hears you?"
Despite being scolded like this, Yu Tang's face turned bright red.
Yu Xiao on the other side of the screen saw it all clearly.
Yu Xiao put the game console on the pillow, knelt down in front of Yu Tang, placed her hands on her cheeks, and looked very obedient.
But he didn't give up teasing Yu Tang at all.
He continued, "It's okay, he can't hear you."
"And whether Xu Lanze can hear you or not, he can't stop thinking about you."
“And, and it’s not just him.” Yu Xiao tapped her lips and arm with her fingertips and said, “They all miss you so much, they want to kiss you, hug you, and stay by your side forever.”
The love of a young person is ardent and intense.
Once Yu Xiao realized her own feelings, she couldn't help but be sarcastic and constantly express her love to the person she liked.
Yu Tang felt embarrassed by what he said.
Later, I tried to change the subject and promised to give Yu Xiao some fish soup when he came back, which finally coaxed him into agreeing to turn off the video and go to sleep.
A month later, the military academy finally gave students a break.
The day before, Yu Tang had already gathered all the evidence that Zhou Nanfeng had funded the slave market.
They then led a group to arrest Zhou Nanfeng, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
A live-streamed meeting was then held, with the Queen and the Minister of Legislative Affairs in attendance, to announce Zhou Nanfeng's crimes to all citizens of the Auro Empire.
Using this incident as a starting point, they kept a close watch on all members of Prince Zhou's direct lineage.
After punishing Zhou Nanfeng, we should then target these people and make sure to uncover the illegal activities behind Prince Zhou's back.
And identify the culprit who poisoned the Queen from among these people.
While waiting for Yu Xiao in the car, Yu Tang made his last phone call and arranged what he needed to do later.
Just after I turned off the communication, I heard a strange noise near the car door.
Before he could react, the back door was opened from behind, and Yu Xiao climbed in, expertly closing the door and raising the front and rear partitions. The instant the partitions closed, he kissed him.
Yu Tang was still in a daze, but when he saw that it was Yu Xiao, he didn't refuse anymore.
Instead, he let the boy grab his wrist, trapping him between the car door and his chest, and kissed him passionately.
Feeling that she couldn't breathe, she grabbed Yu Xiao's eyes and pushed her away.
He then pressed down on the other person's fingers that were roaming his collar and told Yu Xiao, "Don't rush, you can deal with it when we get home."
The word "dispose of" is used very subtly.
Coupled with the man's slightly disordered breathing and reddened eyes, Yu Xiao quickly closed her eyes, her Adam's apple bobbing several times before she managed to suppress her desire.
Sticking close to Yu Tang like a rascal, Yu Xiao said in a hoarse voice, "Then I want to eat lots and lots of Tang, okay?"
Hearing this made Yu Tang's back ache, but considering that it had been a month since they last met, the request didn't seem too unreasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
After agreeing, he didn't send the driver back to the villa, but instead gave him another address: No. 302, South Island Street, Losa City.
Yu Xiao paused for a moment when she heard this.
He asked Yu Tang, "Tangtang, why are we going to that slave market?"
Ever since he got Xu Lanze's game console and connected it to the outside world, he knew that Yu Tang had been working hard to send Zhou Nanfeng to the Imperial Prison.
They also knew that Zhou Nanfeng was indeed involved in funding the slave market and participating in the human trafficking.
But he still didn't understand why Yu Tang was taking him to the slave market at this time.
Yu Tang met his gaze, thought for a moment, and asked Yu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, what is your purpose in applying to a military academy?"
"Of course I want to fight alongside you!" Yu laughed. "And only by becoming as excellent as you can everyone acknowledge our relationship. That way, they won't dare to take you away from me."
Yu Tang laughed, tapped the boy's forehead, and asked, "Besides your purpose related to me, do you have any other purpose?"
Yu Xiao frowned, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "No..."
"Then let me rephrase my question," Yu Tang asked him, "What do you think someone sitting in the position of general should do?"
Yu Xiao's brows furrowed even more.
After a long pause, he said, "Because you are a general, I also want to become a general. To me, it is just a title and a position. The power I have because of this position is the capital that allows me to stand by your side. That is my view."
Seeing his serious expression, Yu Tang couldn't help but reach out and ruffle the boy's hair.
"Xiaoxiao, the general has a lot of power and wealth. But as the saying goes, one should do one's job well in a position."
"If you enjoy more benefits and power than others, you must do things that are appropriate for your position."
“I understand.” Yu Xiao interrupted him and continued, “I can fight alongside you and protect the empire together.”
“Yes, you understand very well.” Yu Tang considered for a moment and continued, “But besides that, there are many other things you can do.”
"Now that Zhou Nanfeng has been arrested, his position as a general is certainly in jeopardy."
And Her Majesty the Queen will surely take this opportunity to strip him of his real power and elect a new general. So I think…”
He smiled and said to Yu, "Could you take over his position, wield the real power of a general, and do a good job in diplomacy?"
And together with me, we will do our utmost to help the common people of this empire, so that they may no longer suffer from class oppression and can live better, more peacefully.
Yu Xiao was stunned, seemingly unable to understand why Yu Tang would say such a thing.
While we were still thinking, the slave market had already arrived.
After getting off the bus, Yu Tang didn't rush to ask Yu Xiao for an answer.
Instead, she took his hand and led him to the slave market, which was now under police control.
Because prior arrangements had been made, Yu Tang and Yu Xiao were not stopped.
They entered the slave market without any problems.
Although the place has been cleaned and tidied up, the previous blood and filth are gone.
However, scratches can still be seen on the wall, as well as various chilling torture instruments and iron cages that have been collected and organized on the side of the wall.
As if recalling past experiences, Yu Xiao's smile disappeared, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Yu Tang's hand.
During those dark years, he was also locked in an iron cage and tortured with whips and knives.
Perhaps due to stress, Yu Xiao's breathing became somewhat rapid.
Yu Tang noticed his change, so she squeezed Yu Xiao's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Xiao, don't be afraid."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao snapped out of her daze and realized that she had made a fool of herself, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed and said defiantly, "Afraid? How could I be afraid of these things?"
Chapter 38
Died for the seventh time for the villain (38)
Yu Tang found his act of bravado both amusing and heartbreaking.
But he didn't expose her. Instead, he quietly moved closer to Yu Xiao to make her feel safe.
Yu Xiao's slightly stiff body relaxed, and she followed Yu Tang into the dimly lit room.
