Armor Guardians

"Stop it, we're not children anymore,"

Seeing that even her parents couldn't give her advice, Xia Qianmeng had no choice but to try to refuse on her own, because she knew how dangerous what she was going to do was, and she didn't want to involve Xia Qianxue in it as well.

Moreover, now that she's become like this... Xia Qianmeng knows that she will probably have a hard time having a stable place to live in the future. Most of the time she will probably be wandering around outside or sleeping in the various bases of the Black Group. That kind of life will only be very hard.

She had been trained by Ye Ying before, so it didn't matter much, but Xia Qianxue was training with the Gold Group. Xia Qianmeng didn't know how well Xia Qianxue was training, so she didn't want to gamble on these things.

"No, I just want to be with you."

Xia Qianmeng: "...I've never seen you like this before."

"I was just being immature before."

“In my opinion, you are becoming more and more immature now. Your parents have finally come back, and you should treat them like your own little darling. Didn’t you miss them a lot before?”

"I don't care, I just want to follow you now."

Xia Qianxue was very determined. No matter what Xia Qianmeng said, she was going to stick to it. Moreover, she had a feeling that as long as she kept sticking to it, she might actually succeed.

"Xiaomeng, since Xiaoxue wants to be with you so much, you should take her with you. Besides, the two of you can take care of each other, which will make your mother and me feel more at ease."

Xu Fangying nodded, agreeing with Xia Wei's words.

Although they wished for both daughters to stay and for the family to live happily together, they also understood that Xia Qianmeng couldn't hesitate, stop, or back down, otherwise their peaceful life would be ruined.

In retrospect, it was the result of their impulsive actions and poor planning back then. However, they are now working hard in their own way, and they believe that they will soon have the life they want.

Thus, after being persuaded by all three parties, Xia Qianmeng gradually softened and finally compromised.

"Alright, since you want to come along, then come along. If you want to leave, you can come back here to be with them anytime. You can also come back to visit when you have time."

"how about you?"

It wasn't Xia Qianxue who asked the question, but Xia Wei. He was somewhat saddened to hear that Xia Qianmeng had only asked Xia Qianxue to come back while she herself wasn't.

"I have no idea."

As she uttered those three words, Xia Qianmeng's eyes involuntarily became misty again. Saving someone is one thing, forgiving someone is another, and returning the relationship to what it was long ago is yet another.

Xia Qianmeng didn't know where she was in her mindset. She just didn't want them to die, and that was all. Therefore, she couldn't give Xia Wei a clear answer at this moment.

"When you have time... come back and visit more often. You've all grown up now, and it's our turn to wait for you."

"……Um."

Xia Qianmeng didn't like hearing sentimental words right now. After giving a brief response, she turned and quickly left the corridor, seemingly to attend to her own business.

Seeing this, Xia Qianxue quickly took the opportunity to hug her mother again and made a promise.

"I will keep an eye on her."

After saying that, Xia Qianxue immediately turned around and chased after him, afraid of being left behind.

When the sound of their footsteps faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, Xia Wei put his arm around Xu Fangying's shoulder and pulled her close to him, saying, "Alright, alright, Xiaomeng and Xiaoxue have grown up now, let's help them in our own way."

"Yes, I still remember some of the core data of the artificial armor. It won't be difficult to replicate those experiments here." "In that case, let's begin."

……

"Sis, wait for me."

After chasing for a long time, Xia Qianxue finally caught up with Xia Qianmeng, who was walking quickly ahead, and grabbed Xia Qianmeng's arm affectionately, not wanting to let go.

At that moment, Xia Qianmeng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xia Qianxue.

At this moment, Xia Qianxue did not see the Xia Qianmeng with the familiar gentle eyes, but a dark Xia Qianmeng with dark and deep eyes. This version of Xia Qianmeng even made her unable to help but feel afraid again.

"sister?"

Despite her fear, Xia Qianxue resisted the urge to let go. At the same time, she secretly resolved that no matter what Xia Qianmeng became, she would patiently awaken the familiar Xia Qianmeng.

Unable to scare Xia Qianxue, Dark Xia Qianmeng found it somewhat boring, so she took the initiative to break free from Xia Qianxue's small hand: "Alright, the cowardly ghost you know has gone back. Now this body is under my control."

Familiarity? Cowardice? Hiding away?

"Yes. Don't keep calling her 'sister,' you don't know that she actually wants to change back. She doesn't really like being called that like this."

As she spoke, Xia Qianmeng reached out and lifted Xia Qianxue's long hair, then held it in her hand and examined it closely.

"who are you?"

"I am also Xia Qianmeng, just a different personality. This personality of mine will not be bullied by anyone, including you."

As she spoke, Xia Qianmeng reached out and pinched Xia Qianxue's cheek with a mischievous smile. These actions left Xia Qianxue stunned. Was it all the same person?
Just a moment ago, she seemed so familiar... She still preferred Xia Qianmeng as she was then.

Seeing through Xia Qianxue's thoughts, Dark Xia Qianmeng decisively found the cowardly ghost hiding in the consciousness space and then returned control of the body to her.

"I'm not very good at dealing with these emotional things, so you'd better handle it yourself. Call me if there's any danger."

Xia Qianmeng: "..."

Xia Qianmeng's face and the color of her eyes kept changing. If it were someone else, they might think she had a mental illness. But Xia Qianxue already knew what had happened to Xia Qianmeng. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to help, so she couldn't do anything but watch.

It took Xia Qianmeng quite a while to return to normal...

At the same time, Xia Qianmeng's phone rang; it was Gao Fei calling.

Xia Qianmeng glanced at Xia Qianxue, then chose Xia Qianxue and answered the phone on the spot: "What is it?"

"Are you available now? Some members of Congress want to speak with you."

"Huh? Why are they looking for me? Didn't we already have a falling out?"

"Regarding the cooperation, to deal with the mutant beasts?"

"No, it's about dealing with Wan Qiliu. Our previous efforts have not been in vain. Although many people have chosen to stand on Wan Qiliu's side, there are also some who are unwilling to go against their conscience."
