As a villain, he relies on coquettishness to rise to power

Chapter 289: Protecting the country will also protect you (21)

Yumu took a shower after returning home, then lay back on the bed and slept lazily. It was already after six o'clock in the evening when I woke up.

Yumu was hungry, but there was nothing to eat at home, so she ordered a takeout. While waiting for the takeout to be delivered, she thought of Xi Chen, and without any hesitation, she quickly called Xi Chen.

The call was answered almost within a second of ringing.

Yu Mu was quite surprised. He didn't expect Xi Chen to answer the phone so quickly.

She lazily leaned on the sofa, adjusting the TV with the remote control, and said, "I just woke up."

The girl's voice sounded very lazy, and there was a hint of sleepiness in her tone, so she didn't seem to be lying.

Xi Chen didn't know what he was doing, so he just said a faint "hmm".

Yumu didn't notice anything, so he asked Xi Chen naturally and skillfully: "What are you doing?"

"We just finished training," Xi Chen said.

"Have you eaten?" Yumu asked.

Very strange.

Yu Mu is not a talkative person, and when Xi Chen faced Yu Mu, he was not a talkative person either.

When he was in Myanmar, Xi Chen would chat with Yumu in a casual and joking manner most of the time, and Yumu would just reply to him lightly.

Now, Xi Chen's intentional alienation made Yu Mu get closer without realizing it.

It's not that I used to ignore you when I was passionate, but now I'm distant, and I suddenly wake up and stick to you again.

For Yumu, she didn't notice any intentional alienation from Xi Chen from beginning to end. She called Xi Chen and took the initiative to ask what Xi Chen was doing. It was all just a thought.

Whether it was when I was in Myanmar or now.

In Yumu's heart, she doesn't have as many scruples as Xi Chen about the two of them being together. Maybe for Xi Chen, two people must seriously say "I like you" before they can be together. But for Yumu, the time she spent with Xi Chen was not only the short four days, but also the long three planes.

There is no need for other unnecessary words. For Yumu, in her heart, Xi Chen has long been a part of her.

When I think about it, I will call.

Xi Chen paused for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Yes, I ate. What about you?"

"I just ordered takeout." Yumu replied.

Xi Chen frowned when he heard this and said, "It's not good to eat too much takeout."

Yumu said calmly: "But I don't know how to cook..."

Xi Chen was just about to continue talking, but the next second he heard the girl's calm voice asking from the phone: "When will you return to Kyoto?"

The girl's voice was calm and no emotion could be heard, but it made Xi Chen feel nervous.

The man's Adam's apple rolled and his voice was hoarse: "What's wrong?"

Yumu replied: "I'll cook for you when you come back."

She answered very calmly, without any cover-up.

Xi Chen's fingertips holding the phone seemed to be stiff. He lowered his long eyelashes. The man's handsome face looked distinct under the hazy moon veil, and the bridge of his nose and eyebrows were straight and sharp.

"...Okay, then you wait for me."

Under the moonlight, the summer wind blowing outside was extremely quiet, carrying the heat and throbbing of summer.

The man's voice was hoarse and sounded particularly gentle.

At that moment, the gentle breeze seemed to be blowing the clouds in the night, gently swaying, parting the clouds and mist to see the sky, the moonlight was blurred and gentle.

…

…

After resting at home for a day, Yumu went to the hospital to report.

As Yumu thought, he was assigned to the surgery room.

In the beginning, I did some odd jobs, sorting out medical records and so on. After a few days of surgery, Yumu also went to the operating room with the attending doctor to observe and learn.

Yumu learns very quickly. In the eyes of others, Yumu has transformed from an inconspicuous person into a shining pearl in an instant.

Gradually, other senior doctors in the department began to pay attention to Yumu.

Half a month later, the department conducted the assessment as usual, and Yumu won first place with excellent results. At the same time, he also participated in various assessments and examinations outside, and soon became a legend in the People's Hospital.

Tan Jing, who entered the surgical room at the same time as Yumu, felt extremely anxious when she saw Yumu's extraordinary progress during this period.

She didn't understand that Yumu's grades were mediocre in the previous exams at school, with nothing outstanding at all. Why has it suddenly become so powerful now? There are many questions that she can't answer, but she can answer them!

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Except for working hours on weekdays, Yumu almost has time to chat with Xi Chen who is far away in Myanmar.

Sometimes Yumu performs surgery with the doctor and doesn't finish get off work until very late. I was so busy that I forgot to reply to the message. Xi Chen would also send Yumu good night at eleven o'clock on time. Or sometimes when Xi Chen goes out on a mission, Yumu will also say good night to Xi Chen.

These seem to have become a habit.

But something is strange recently. It was five days ago since Yu Mu and Xi Chen last chatted. Xi Chen has not contacted Yu Mu for five days.

No matter whether I sent a message or called, no one responded.

Yu Mu sat on the chair in the office, frowning and asked Huang Tao: [How is Xi Chen doing now? 】

Huang Tao was also a little helpless: [Your Highness, the distance is too far, so I can't keep track of Xi Chen's whereabouts. 】

Hearing this, Yumu pursed his lips.

She opened WeChat, found Cheng Xie, and sent a WeChat message with Cheng Xie.

[Miki: Do you know where Xi Chen has been these days? 】

During this period, Cheng Xie probably received Xi Chen's instructions and helped Yu Mu a lot in many things, although Yu Mu didn't really need it. But overall, it still saved Yumu a lot of trouble.

There was no reply from Cheng Xie, so Yumu didn't wait any longer. He put his phone aside and continued to work.

After returning home from get off work in the evening, Cheng Xie called Yumu.

"Hi, Miss Yu." Cheng Xie's voice over there sounded a little deep, "Sorry, I was busy just now and didn't see the WeChat message you sent me."

Yu Mu pursed his lips and sat on the sofa, his eyebrows cold: "It's okay. Do you know Xi Chen's whereabouts?"

Cheng Xie seemed to pause for a moment, "Why did Miss Yu suddenly want to ask about this?"

"He has lost contact with me for five days." Yumu said calmly: "According to his identity, I have to link his loss of contact with danger. So I want to know where he is now."

Cheng Xie opened his mouth and seemed to hesitate, but Yu Mu noticed it.

Yumu's face was expressionless: "Xi Chen is on a mission, and there are great risks, so he won't let you tell me, right?"
