The biting cold wind whistled past the bare tree trunks, and large flakes of snow swirled down from the sky, covering the layer of snow that had already accumulated.

Looking around, the vast surroundings are endless, with only low tombstones lying silently in the same place.
But in such deathly silence, a suppressed low cough was suddenly heard.

Following the sound, I saw a tombstone that was wiped exceptionally clean in the snow.
Three bouquets of fresh chrysanthemums were neatly placed in front of the tombstone.

Ruan Zhujun, who was standing in front of the flowers, turned her eyes away, unbuttoned her fur coat, and covered the shoulders of the person next to her with it:
"Pingwu, you should put on more clothes before going out."

Her fur coat was bright red, and against this strong color, the face of the person under her looked even paler.
Xia Pingwu couldn't help but cough a few more times. Because of the violent movement, a few drops of physiological tears hung at the corners of her eyes, outlining her fragility that was about to fall.

Seeing this, Ruan Zhuyun could only sigh and quickly tied the fur coat tightly in her hands:
"If Ming Chunshan knew that I secretly brought you out, he would definitely kill me."

"It's okay." Xia Pingwu took a deep breath and finally stopped coughing. She turned her head to look at the tombstone without words and shook her head gently. "Today is the anniversary of Master's wife's death. Chunshan won't be angry."

Ruan Zhujun didn't quite believe it and sneered, "Looking at her, someone who didn't know would think you were your master's biological daughter."

"Haruyama had to take over as the captain of the Ability Bureau's combat team at such a young age. It's normal that he doesn't have time to personally pay tribute to his mother."
Due to her poor health, Xia Pingwu's tone of voice was a little slow. Her voice was calm, and although it was clearly words of explanation, there was no urgency in her voice, which made people feel more at ease.

Ruan Zhuyun was helpless. Knowing that the man beside him had been married to Ming Chunshan for seven years, he would naturally explain everything for his wife. So he did not make any distinction and just changed the subject:
"She is indeed busy recently, but don't worry, she will come to see you soon."

Xia Pingwu didn't say anything, but just tucked the fur on her body with her hand and turned to look at Ruan Zhuyun to ask.

Ruan Zhujun looked at those clear eyes, and her desire to keep the secret disappeared immediately.

Xia Pingwu has been like this since they first met. No matter what happens, she always looks calm.
Even when it came to Ming Chunshan, she only said a few more words and rarely showed any emotional fluctuations.
After the great battle seven years ago, Xia Pingwu spoke even less.

Thinking of what happened seven years ago, Ruan Zhujun was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what he wanted to say:
"Although I work in the cleanup team, I also heard that the combat team recently discovered traces of a new alien beast's activities."
No longer intending to keep the secret, Ruan Zhuyun spoke very quickly:
"I heard that it has the same traces as the strange beast that killed your master's wife."

At this moment, even Xia Pingwu's eyes couldn't help but pause.

……

In the last century, the Blue Planet was suddenly attacked by a huge radiation. Countless creatures suddenly mutated and turned into strange beasts that only knew how to kill. Everywhere there was a tragic scene of cannibalism and corpses everywhere.

In response to this situation, governments around the world responded quickly and formed a joint superpower bureau in an attempt to save Blue Planet.

Unfortunately, no matter how advanced the modern weapons are, they cannot cause any fatal damage to the monsters.
Just when everyone thought that Blue Planet was finally going to perish——
At this moment, hope suddenly arises.

It turned out that although the "strange beasts" were created under the interference of radiation, some people not only retained their sanity, but also awakened the ability to kill the strange beasts.

And her teacher's wife, Ming Chunshan's mother, was the most outstanding one among this group of people.
Naturally, he became the first captain of the combat team under the Ability Bureau.

The rebellion of the alien beasts was temporarily quelled, and when everyone thought everything was calm, suddenly the alien beasts began to mutate further and killed the unsuspecting psychic without leaving a single piece of armor.
Even Xia Pingwu's master's wife unfortunately died.

The man is gone, but he left behind countless questions——

"We have never been able to figure out why the strange beast suddenly mutated again. This discovery may be able to solve this mystery."
Ruan Zhuyun arranged Xia Pingwu's fur coat, put her hands in her pockets, and continued,
"The Supernatural Bureau takes this matter very seriously, and you are the only one who survived the final war. If Ming Chunshan wants to resolve this matter, he will definitely ask for your opinion."

Before the final battle, the Bureau of Superpowers prepared in advance and tried to cultivate more young superpower masters.
She and Ming Chunshan were the most outstanding graduates of that period, and the two brightest swords representing the future of the Bureau of Supernatural Powers.
Unfortunately, before they could stand on their own, their master's wife passed away, and Xia Pingwu himself has been bedridden ever since, unable to wield any weapon again.

In that battle, only Ming Chunshan, who was responsible for covering the retreat of the people, managed to escape unscathed.
As the daughter of the deceased captain and the only surviving genius, she was entrusted with the task of becoming the successor captain of the combat team.

Now, if this matter were to be reinvestigated, Xia Pingwu, who had accompanied the master's wife as an intern, would definitely be the first person to be questioned.

Ruan Zhuyun's tone was somewhat excited as she spoke: "Ping Wu, haven't you always wanted to return to the Ability Bureau? Even if you can't participate in the battle, being a combat advisor wouldn't be bad either."

Xia Pingwu didn't say anything, just looked at her silently, then turned around silently and walked towards the exit of the cemetery.

Ruan Zhuyun followed behind her, not affected by her silence at all, and even skillfully found an excuse for her:
"I really don't understand why Ming Chunshan is so strict with you. Even if you are not in good health, you don't have to stay at home every day..."

Her voice suddenly stopped.

Although they were still some distance away from the main gate of the cemetery, they could already see the bright red car parked there.
The warm red color was exactly the same as the fur coat Xia Pingwu was wearing at the moment, and it belonged to Ruan Zhuyun. At this moment, next to the red car, there was a dazzlingly black car parked -
Looks familiar too.
This is Ming Chunshan's car that we have been talking about all the time.

Ruan Zhujun subconsciously said, "Why is that guy chasing us again?"

At the same time, a shadow suddenly moved on the side of the black car. Ming Chunshan, who was leaning against the car door, seemed to have discovered them and was walking towards them quickly.

The man was tall and slender, with slightly raised eyes. His peach blossom eyes looked even more charming and affectionate in the snow. As he walked, his graceful muscle lines could be vaguely seen under the cloth.

But these are not the point.
Ruan Zhuyun saw clearly that the moment the visitor saw Xia Pingwu, a smile immediately appeared on his usually dull face.
Ming Chunshan almost rushed over and called out in a louder voice:
"Sister!"

Xia Pingwu is older than Ming Chunshan, and both of them were raised by the previous captain, so this name has continued to this day.
Come to think of it, now that Ming Chunshan is here, do they have to turn around and pay their respects again in front of the tombstone?

Ruan Zhujun was just thinking about it, when she saw from the corner of her eye that Ming Chunshan, who was coming towards her, suddenly stopped.
She looked up with some confusion, and saw that the smile in Ming Chunshan's eyes faded a little, and he was looking at Xia Pingwu's red fur coat.

Her scattered thoughts immediately returned, and Ruan Zhuyun put her arm around Xia Pingwu's shoulders:
"This coat is mine. Why are you jealous of me?"

"I'm not jealous." Ming Chunshan continued to walk forward, his voice hard.
She walked forward, quickly untied the buttons of her bright red coat, and then without even looking at it, threw it directly into Ruan Zhuyun's face.

The next moment, she pulled out another snow-white coat from her bosom like a magic trick, and wrapped Xia Pingwu tightly around her head. Then she took another step forward and inserted herself between the two of them before she spoke:
"Sister, I saw you didn't bring your coat at home, so I brought it here for you to wear."

Different from the indifferent voice he had just given to Ruan Zhuyun, Ming Chunshan's voice at this time was so gentle that it was sickening. Ruan Zhuyun, who had heard it many times before, couldn't help but take a step back.
Ruan Zhuyun waved her hands helplessly, and simply left the two of them, and walked quickly towards her car: "Come on, since the person has been sent, you can go home slowly, I'll go ahead."

The bright red car drove away as if to avoid suspicion. Ming Chunshan then lowered his head, held Xia Pingwu in his arms, and continued:
"It's so cold, it's not necessary to worship my mother."

Xia Pingwu, who had been silent the whole time, shook his head and said firmly:
"In order to forget the impact of that incident, the Supernatural Bureau not only buried all the people in this cemetery, but also prohibited people from engraving their names. If I don't come, no one will come again."
She raised her head, and her beautiful eyes, which were emotionless, flickered a little:
"Chunshan, aren't you going to worship her this year?"

Ming Chunshan paused, his hand holding the snow-white fur stiffened involuntarily, and he pretended to be relaxed and said:
"You must have given me flowers."

Xia Pingwu didn't answer, which was considered as his consent.

Ming Chunshan smiled slightly, opened the car door, and skillfully put Xia Pingwu in the passenger seat. Then he walked around to the driver's seat and answered casually:
"You know, she has never had me as her daughter in her eyes. She might be very happy if she can't see me at her grave."

Xia Pingwu was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Ming Chunshan, who was already sitting in the driver's seat, turn sideways and carefully help her fasten the seat belt, making sure not to press on her curly long hair.

Because of the action, Ming Chunshan was very close to her. As they smelled each other's breath, Ming Chunshan suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly into Xia Pingwu's clear eyes:
"Besides, I've taken such good care of her favorite disciple, which can be considered as my filial piety."
