Chapter 552 Taking a bath together?
After refusing, Ning Anrou finally returned to normal speaking.

Bai Mianmian relaxed, and then the two started talking about what happened that day.

Jiang Ci: "..."

He originally thought that Bai Mianmian would focus her attention on him after he returned.

However, the truth is that she sat on the living room sofa and happily told Ning Anrou about her experiences that day.

But what could he do?

He could only sit nearby, handling tasks on the terminal screen while listening to Bai Mianmian speak.

As for Ning Anrou, because Bai Mianmian's video call was set to a mode that only she could see, he couldn't see her or hear her.

Ning Anrou knew that Bai Mianmian had found the watermelon, and she was very tempted to go to the forest with her.

But thinking of the warehouse that was still waiting to be filled, she could only regretfully suppress the idea.

Jiang Ci, who had been quietly listening to Bai Mianmian's story, suddenly turned his gaze to her when she mentioned the incident in the cafeteria.

"Hey, Mianmian, it's getting late, shouldn't you go take a shower?"

Bai Mianmian was about to speak when Jiang Ci's words interrupted her, and her gaze involuntarily shifted from the terminal screen to him.

Ning Anrou, who was on the terminal screen, was taken aback when she heard Jiang Ci's slightly stiff words. She then glanced at the time.

It's still early. She just finished dinner not long ago. How can it not be early?

Suddenly, Ning Anrou seemed to have a sudden thought, and a meaningful smile instantly appeared on her face.

Then a strange laugh came from her mouth, "Hehehe..."

This smug laugh, carrying the message that I knew some secret, immediately reached Bai Mianmian's ears through the earpiece.

Bai Mianmian: "...??" What's wrong with her?
Before Bai Mianmian could speak to Jiang Ci, she was startled by the laughter and turned to look back at Ning Anrou.

"Uh..." Ning Anrou, who was laughing happily, suddenly met Bai Mianmian's gaze, and her strange laughter was immediately choked and stopped.

A feeling of guilt, as if her thoughts had been read, suddenly welled up in Ning Anrou's heart.

Her eyes darted around for a moment, then she straightened her expression and said, "Ahem, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll stop chatting now. Mianmian, you go ahead and do your work too, don't keep Aci waiting too long, hehehehe..."

At the end of her sentence, Ning Anrou winked at Bai Mianmian with a meaningful smile and then hung up the video call.

Bai Mianmian: "..."

At first, Bai Mianmian really didn't understand what was wrong with Ning Anrou.
However, her last words combined with the smile on her face made it quite clear what she was thinking.

But... isn't she overthinking it?

still is……

Bai Mianmian looked at Jiang Ci again and asked, "Shall we take a bath together?"

Jiang Ci's breath hitched for a moment, and the eyes reflecting her figure instantly became so deep that they seemed to swallow her whole.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Bai Mianmian immediately understood that he really had such thoughts.

A smile suddenly bloomed on Bai Mianmian's face. She didn't have any shyness, so she stood up and said to Jiang Ci with a smile, "Let's go then."

"Thump thump~!" The sudden pounding of her heart caused Jiang Ci's face to flush instantly.

Faced with such an invitation, he could not refuse, nor did he want to refuse!
Jiang Ci got up, picked up Bai Mianmian, and walked upstairs.

The next day. "Commander, what are we doing here?"

Gu Yue, who didn't have to work for the Seventh Army Corps, couldn't understand why his commander was standing at the gate of the Second Army Corps' base so early in the morning.
More than an hour has passed since this stop, yet it seems others intend to continue standing there.

The two Second Army Corps members standing guard at the gate today also didn't understand what these two were doing standing there.
However, considering that they might have tasks that the other party was unaware of, they could only pretend they hadn't seen it.

Upon hearing Gu Yue's question, although they did not move, their gazes involuntarily turned towards Shi Sijin.

"Waiting for someone." Shi Sijin crossed her arms and glanced sideways at the end of the road leading out of the Second Legion's camp.

He heard yesterday that Bai Mianmian would be going out again today, so he wanted to go out with her to play in the forest.

Anyway, there was nothing to do at the base, and Lin Shiqing and the others were restricted from eating more of the purified melon seeds, so staying there would be boring.

If he goes out with Bai Mianmian and finds something delicious, like a watermelon, he can get a fresh bite as soon as possible.

"Commander, who are we waiting for?"

Seeing that Shi Sijin had no intention of speaking, and unable to figure out who they were waiting for, Gu Yue frowned and asked with some distress.

Who on earth could make their commander wait and wait?
The two Second Army soldiers on guard duty then perked up their ears even more.

"white……"

Shi Sijin had just opened his mouth when he suddenly noticed that the two guards standing next to him were eavesdropping. His eyes flickered, and what he said immediately became, "Sister-in-law."

"I'm waiting for my sister-in-law to go out into the forest together. With my strength, wherever she wants to go in the forest, I can definitely bring her back safely." Shi Sijin said this with great confidence.

However, upon hearing this, the two men on guard immediately withdrew their attention, exchanged a glance, and both saw in each other's eyes a lack of concern for Shi Sijin's words.

With his sister-in-law's strength comparable to his own brother's, why would she need his protection?

"??" Shi Sijin was puzzled because she did not receive any approval from the Second Legion members.

Based on his observations, the Second Legion members genuinely supported Bai Mianmian; there was no reason why his words wouldn't be accepted by them!
"Commander, are you sure your wife will be going out today?"

While Shi Sijin was filled with doubt, Gu Yue looked at the road that led directly here and there was no one in sight, and hesitantly asked.

"..." Shi Sijin frowned slightly, because he couldn't give a definite answer now either.

He was initially confident that Bai Mianmian would appear, but after waiting for so long and she still hadn't shown up, he was now starting to have some doubts.

He would definitely come out now, but in the end he didn't. That would be such a loss of face!

Only then did Shi Sijin finally remember to contact Bai Mianmian to ask.

However, after activating the terminal screen, he found that there was no terminal number for Bai Mianmian, and he could not contact her.

After a moment of silence, Shi Sijin contacted Jiang Ci directly.

If you can't find Bai Mianmian, you can't go wrong asking her partner.

He'll definitely add Bai Mianmian as a friend on his mobile device next time he sees her!
Jiang Ci, who was at home preparing to go upstairs to wake Bai Mianmian, saw Shi Sijin's video call request and answered it without much thought.

"Could you ask my sister-in-law when she's going to the forest today?" As soon as the video call connected, Shi Sijin got straight to the point without even saying hello.

“She’s not going out today,” Jiang Ci replied directly.

"Why?" Shi Sijin frowned.

He was all ready to go with her, so why isn't she going?

Didn't I say yesterday that I would go to the forest again today?
Why didn't they go after just one night?!
