The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 197

After an unknown period of time, Xia Yu finally completed the remaining twenty rounds. Wang Hui estimated that it was time for the leaders to return after dinner. It was not good for them to see Xia Yu jogging alone, so he let her go temporarily.

"Xia Yu, there's a call for you." Xia Yu walked back under the scorching sun as the correspondent stopped her.

A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yu's face.

Who else would call him here other than Xia Wanyuan?!!

Xia Yu quickly walked into the communication room and picked up the phone excitedly.

"Sister," Xia Yu's voice sounded over the phone. Days of training have its effects. Xia Yu had let go of her naivety, and her voice was slightly stable.

“Mm, how are you? Are you all right?" Xia Wanyuan's soft voice spread out, making Xia Yu's heart ache.

“I'm pretty good. I just finished my training.” Xia Yu's voice sounded young and happy on the phone.

“Mm, don't work too hard. If your body can't stand it, ask the leader for leave. Your body is the most important. If your side has more mosquitoes, then.”.

Xia Wanyuan had led the troops in his previous life and knew that life in the military camp was not easy. It was boring and exhausting. Although the current era was developing very advanced and the military camp was not as backward as before, training was still very difficult.

Xia Wanyuan patiently instructed Xia Yu about some matters. Xia Yu, who did not feel guilty no matter how Wang Hui bullied her, shed tears upon hearing Xia Wanyuan's soft voice.

Xia Yu pursed her lips and lowered her beautiful brows, stubbornly refusing to let her tears fall.

"Do you understand?" Xia Wanyuan asked as Xia Yu did not reply after speaking for a long time.

“Understanding, Brother. I'll call you next time. I'll eat first.” Xia Yu's voice was stinging.

Xia Wanyuan was stunned, but she did not say much. 

“Alright, go.”

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan looked at the time on her phone.

13:08,

This should be a time of rest. Why is he still training and not eating?

"What's the problem?"

It should have been school hours today, and Xiao Bao missed Xia Wanyuan, so he was brought back. Now that his mother was safe and sound, Xiao Bao stopped making a fuss and was sent to kindergarten by Jun Shiling.

After sending Xiao Bao away, Jun Shiling went upstairs and saw Xia Wanyuan seem to be thinking.

"Do you know in which military district Xia Yu is training in?"

"I knew. I don't think you can go and visit him. It's too far. It will take five hours to get there even by plane.” Jun Shiling crouched down in front of Xia Wanyuan and examined his injuries.

“No, I think Xia Yu is having trouble there. I'm afraid he's bullied.”

After leading the army for so many years, Xia Wanyuan knew very well that no matter where she was, there was always a combination of holiness and ugliness.

In the military district, there were many people who contributed to the country and had noble character and integrity. There are also people who are not looking for their position. Xia Yu had a stubborn personality and was still young. He is the type of person who is often said by many veterans to be a "thorn". Xia Wanyuan was very worried that she would get into conflict with others.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to visit her." Jun Shiling lifted Xia Wanyuan from his wheelchair and placed her on the bed. 

"Do you want to lie down for a while?"

“Mm.” 

It was time for Xia Wanyuan to take a nap.

"Then sleep. I'll go to the study room next to.” 

Jun Shiling tidied up Xia Wanyuan's blanket and was about to turn to leave when Xia Wanyuan gripped her sleeve tightly. Jun Shiling turned around in confusion.

“Company me.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes.

He felt that something was wrong with Jun Shiling these two days.

In the past, when he had not agreed to Jun Shiling's request, Jun Shiling would always say affectionate words and play tricks on him, making him blush from time to time.

Now that he had agreed with Jun Shiling, Jun Shiling had become very polite. Especially since this morning, Jun Shiling was very serious when he hugged her.

Xia Wanyuan also wondered if Jun Shiling did not like her anymore, but when she met Jun Shiling's gaze, which seemed to want to burn her alive, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was thinking too much.

“Good, sleep first. I'll come back and accompany you after I'm done.” Jun Shiling helplessly put Xia Wanyuan's hand back into the blanket.

“Come and take a nap with me.” Xia Wanyuan patted the spot beside her. Ever since he had been locked up in the cave for five or six days, he had always felt that he had been so afraid of the recent cold. Jun Shiling's body felt warm and comfortable. Better to hug her than a pillow.

Jun Shiling stopped, a struggle flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth. 

“Sleep yourself first.”

“Do you not like me anymore?” Xia Wanyuan frowned.

How could I not like it? I like her too much.

In the past, he had only dared to tease her because he knew nothing would happen, because she was not his.

Now, Xia Wanyuan was in his arms obediently and dependent every day. He even treated himself as a pillow and continued to dig into his arms. He had no idea how hard he was to endure every day.

Now, he even suspects that he doesn't like it.

Jun Shiling gently tapped Xia Wanyuan's forehead. 

"What's that empty word you say?"

"Then come here." Xia Wanyuan lifted the corner of the blanket.

"..."

Powerlessness flashed in Jun Shiling's eyes. 

“I'll go and take the computer. Go to sleep and I will accompany you.”

"okay." Xia Wanyuan nodded.

Jun Shiling brought the notebook into the room and placed it on the side. Then, he took off his shoes and socks and lay down beside Xia Wanyuan. He hugged her and patted her comfortably. 

"Sleep."

Xia Wanyuan usually wanted to wrap her hands around Jun Shiling's waist, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling confusedly, her eyes filled with slight grievances. Can't I just hug you?

Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan's eyes with a helpless smile. 

“You're still hurt. Don't get too close to me.”

However, Xia Wanyuan was already used to sleeping and hugging the pillow. He had been accompanied by Jun Shiling for the past few days and was already used to it. Hearing Jun Shiling say this, his eyes looked even sadder.

How could Jun Shiling bear to see Xia Wanyuan's expression? His heart immediately softened. He took the initiative to step forward and hug Xia Wanyuan even tighter. Xia Wanyuan wrapped her hands around Jun Shiling's waist at just the right time.

Slowly, Xia Wanyuan not only fell asleep, but her face also became more red. The two were close to each other, and Xia Wanyuan finally felt a change in Jun Shiling.

“Now do you know why I dare not let you hug me?” Jun Shiling held him in discomfort, and his voice was a little hoarse. 

"I have no resistance against you."

Xia Wanyuan removed Jun Shiling's waist and distanced herself from it. 

"I'll sleep alone."

“Mm.” Jun Shiling did not stop him. Xia Wanyuan fell asleep with a flushed face.

Jun Shiling reached out and grabbed Xia Wanyuan's hand. 

"Sleep. I'll stay here with you.”

Feeling the warmth from Jun Shiling's hand, Xia Wanyuan's face heated up, but her heart calmed down. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling sat down and took the computer beside her.

A relaxed light flickered on the screen. In the scene transmitted through the video, the troops prepared and aimed at the mountain pass hidden in Liedun.

Jun Shiling pressed the action button and everyone immediately received the message. Land crews surround the mountain directly. The battlefield was chaotic, and the transmission signal was temporarily cut off. Jun Shiling turned off his computer.

Lying down again, Xia Wanyuan was already sound asleep. Jun Shiling carefully planted a kiss on his forehead and watched him quietly.

***

The news of Xia Wanyuan being in Linxi City was blocked by Jun Shiling, but the news that Xia Wanyuan had not gone to the production team for filming quickly spread.

Even if the best doctor treated Xia Wanyuan's legs every day, it would not heal in a day or two. Therefore, Xia Wanyuan asked Li Heng for permission.

Li Heng could only film the scene of Yan Ci first. The production team is filming at the base of the film studio. There were many people who came and went, and Yan Ci fans often came to visit. Only Yan Ci was filming alone.

Slowly, everyone learned that the female lead "Moon As Frost" was not filming on the production team.

Everyone was already very dissatisfied with the acting of Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci, especially the many female fans of Yan Ci.

They clearly remembered that Xia Wanyuan had been clinging to Yan Ci for horrendous reasons. Now, everyone was furious to see their idol work so hard for filming, but Xia Wanyuan was nowhere to be seen.
