"Why do we have to separate?" Guan Mi asked.
Hearing Bai Lin's sudden words, her heart jumped into her throat.
Could it be that I haven't been as diligent lately, and I've been acting cute too often, which has upset him and made him want to get rid of me?
“What I mean is, why don’t you take a vacation and go out for a walk?” Bai Lin said, staring at the TV. “Like those people on TV, see the scenery, do some shopping or something.”
"No, Mr. Bai is the best scenery for me!" Guan Mi shook her head vigorously.
She wasn't materialistic and had little interest in luxury goods like designer bags.
Perhaps influenced by her aunt from a young age, she prefers things on the mystical side.
The existence of the white dragon perfectly matched her fantasy, so naturally she was reluctant to leave this mysterious treasure.
She doesn't feel like she's going to work every day; instead, she feels like she's enjoying life.
Hearing her words, Bai Lin was both amused and exasperated.
He could see Guan Mi's attachment to him.
This attachment may stem from her intense curiosity about creatures like white dragons.
He also really enjoyed having such a playful and cute girl by his side.
He was so lonely in this world.
However, his words today actually had several intentions related to opening up Mi.
He has now fully recovered his strength and has a comprehensive understanding of this world.
Taking advantage of the shift change in the security team, he planned to leave to visit some old friends.
This will be a good opportunity to verify whether those tight surveillance systems can actually detect him.
Although he has always been confident, his master once told him to have reverence for anything he did not understand. That is why he has been lying low for some time and has also been cultivating a tacit understanding with the government.
However, he didn't want to cause Guan Mi any trouble during this process.
He stared at the girl.
Guan Mi tilted his head: "I'm telling the truth!"
"Alright," Bai Lin said.
He had been too tactful; the girl clearly hadn't understood him.
She has been staying overnight in the Dragon Palace quite often these past few days.
"I'll go out for a stroll after she falls asleep tonight. I was just thinking of scouting out the area first," Bai Lin thought to himself.
……
Night was falling.
A transport aircraft arrived at the military airfield at the foot of Yatou Mountain.
A line of soldiers walked out from there.
The first one was a man in a colonel's uniform, with a dignified and imposing presence.
He led his team out, and when he saw Lei Yao and the others walking towards him, he saluted, then smiled and patted Lei Yao on the shoulder: "Old Lei, you've worked hard these past few days!"
“It’s all for the country.” Lei Yao’s expression was meticulous.
"Director Liu, right? It's a pleasure to meet you!" The man extended his hand to Liu Chongyu.
"It's my pleasure to meet you," Liu Chongyu said with a smile. "I've heard of Staff Officer Yuan before, but seeing is believing. Staff Officer Yuan is clearly an outstanding person!"
"Director Liu, please don't flatter me," Yuan Run said with a smile. "I'm not a staff officer now. Just call me by my name, or Captain Yuan."
He warmly shook hands with Liu Chongyu.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Chongyu invited him to the conference room.
Yuan Run turned to Lei Yao: "Let's go, Lao Lei!"
Lei Yao nodded and silently followed behind him.
Yuan Run is his successor.
The two were about the same age, but the other was much more dazzling than him.
Before he was selected for the special forces, the other party was his company commander. Six months later, he was transferred to the regimental headquarters.
By the time Lei Yao joined the special forces, Yuan Run was already a staff officer in the division headquarters.
If it weren't for Bai Long's appearance, he would have been appointed to a position in the Central Military Commission this year.
All of this is thanks to Yuan Run's excellence and a little help from her family.
Lei Yao heard this from the superior who had promoted him.
According to the commander, he should seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with this promising officer.
Lei Yao, however, did not want to do that.
He felt that he and Yuan Run were from completely different worlds.
The two have very different personalities.
Lei Yao is low-key and modest, but Yuan Run is much more flamboyant.
He is proud and competitive.
When he was under Yuan Run's command, Yuan Run showed off his medals from the All-Army Martial Arts Competition and jokingly said that everyone could use him as practice, and those who could defeat him would help him get promoted.
Lei Yao foolishly believed it and used his brute force to pin the young company commander to the ground.
Then he was often pulled out by Yuan Run for one-on-one training.
He only stopped after realizing something was wrong and narrowly losing to his opponent three times in a row.
This gave him a strong understanding of Yuan Run's pride and competitiveness.
Therefore, when Director Zhao first heard that Yuan Run was coming here and asked for his opinion, he frankly expressed his concerns.
……
"Mr. Bai is kind-hearted, but as a mythical creature capable of flying through the clouds, he has his pride..."
He said, "Possessing those incredible abilities, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a superior being, surpassing us humans..."
"Therefore, when facing it, we need to put away our pride and have a sense of awe!" Lei Yao said in a deep voice.
“That’s right, I was punished by Mr. Bai!” Zhang Yu added.
He was wearing a white shirt and a hat, with a faint air of reserve on his face.
"I was once frozen in place, and another time I was banished from the Dragon Palace... but I can't blame Mr. Bai for that, he's very reasonable..."
After the two finished speaking, Liu Chongyu chimed in, "Captain Lei and Dr. Zhang are both right. Also, we must remember not to look directly into its eyes!"
"Yes, I accidentally saw it..." Zhang Yu said, recounting his terrifying experience back then.
“I understand!” Yuan Run nodded solemnly.
He has a high opinion of himself, but he is not brainless.
He saw an opportunity here and wanted to come and give it a try.
According to his family's arrangements, he should have been more cautious.
However, after hearing various rumors about this place, especially after learning that Director Zhao was the nominal person in charge of this base and frequently paid attention to this place, he used all his resources to come here.
It's only six months anyway, he can give it a try.
He comes from a prominent family, but he is still somewhat inferior to Director Zhao.
If we can establish a connection with them through this, it would be an extremely profitable venture.
However, after he was chosen and learned the inside story of the place, he realized how right his decision had been.
That's a dragon from mythology!
With such a legendary creature existing, it's no wonder there's a panacea!
He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to anger the white dragon.
On the contrary, he had to find ways to get closer to him.
If you can get a white dragon as a friend, your future path will definitely be smoother!
"What are Mr. Bai's hobbies?" he asked.
Hobby?
Liu Chongyu and Lei Yao both turned their gazes toward Zhang Yu.
Dr. Zhang frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Bai isn't particularly interested in food, and he does enjoy a few games but isn't addicted to them..."
“Oh, right,” he remembered, “it shows a strong preference for Miss Guan.”
"Its assistant, Guan Mi?" Yuan Run asked.
He had already done his research before coming and knew the name.
“Yes,” Liu Chongyu said, “Xiao Guan was originally going to come and welcome Staff Officer Yuan, but it coincides with Mr. Bai’s mealtime, so she will be a little later…”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chapter 54 Gonglong?
Their gazes all shifted towards the gate.
The door opened a crack, and a head with a long ponytail poked its head in.
"Director Liu, Captain Lei, Dr. Zhang, you're all here!" Guan Mi waved and smiled apologetically, "Sorry I'm late."
“No, that’s perfect, we just arrived too.” Liu Chongyu stood up and introduced, “This is Captain Yuan Run, who is replacing Captain Lei. He used to be…”
As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Yuan Run was staring blankly at Guan Mi.
As if sensing his gaze, Yuan Run snapped out of his daze and extended his hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, Assistant Guan!"
Guan Mi raised her fair and delicate right hand quickly, and gave a military salute with a grin: "Greetings, Captain Yuan!"
Yuan Run withdrew his outstretched hand, which had missed its mark, and then bowed.
His gaze, however, couldn't help but drift towards Guan Mi.
The girl was wearing jeans, which made the two legs look long and straight.
Her neck was long and slender, revealing delicate collarbones. Her cheeks were rosy and delicate, like a finely sculpted work of art, and her eyes were bright and expressive.
He never imagined that he would develop feelings for a woman because of her appearance.
However, he had never seen this special quality in any other woman.
Compared to her, her own mother, who was obsessed with beauty salons, seemed like a country bumpkin.
“Captain Yuan just asked Mr. Bai about his preferences. Xiao Guan is the most qualified to answer that. Why don’t you tell us?” Liu Chongyu said.
“Mr. Bai,” Guan Mi said without hesitation, “he likes the sunrise, loves rainy days, isn’t picky about food, and occasionally has his own ideas. Just a few days ago he said he wanted to try steamed locust flowers…”
"By the way, Mr. Bai has recently taken a liking to Longjing tea. He finished all the tea he brought over a few days ago, and today he even asked me to send over a tea tree so he can cultivate it himself."
"He doesn't like being watched when he's playing games. I once caught him secretly playing alone..."
"By the way, he's very interested in science and technology. He had some books specially brought over so I could read them to him..."
Listening to Guan Mi's series of words, Lei Yao and Liu Chongyu couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhang Yu.
This guy always hangs around Bailong, showing off his closeness to Bailong, how come he doesn't know anything?
Zhang Yu was also somewhat embarrassed.
He suddenly realized how naive his earlier idea of replacing Guan Mi had been.
There are many things that Haku is clearly avoiding about him.
“It wants to plant tea trees, which is my current area of expertise. I’ll study it tonight!” Zhang Yu caught the important information in Guan Mi’s words.
He now needs to seize every opportunity to improve his relationship with Bai Long.
He wants to become the White Dragon's most trusted advisor under Guan Mi!
