Volume 1, Chapter 52: A Tiny Home

Yu Jin stood up, met Yu Zhu's gaze, and straightened his back.
"Please go ahead, Cousin."
"First, we have raised Xiao Jing with excellent living habits—his routine is well-regulated, and his diet is carefully prepared. I hope you won't take shortcuts or be perfunctory just to save trouble; the child is still growing."
The prosperous and dazzling capital city of Capital D is lined with towering skyscrapers. Various office buildings are interspersed among them. Amidst the many tall and magnificent office buildings stands one with a peculiar design, whose exterior is by no means inferior to any of its neighbors.
By the time Liang Tiantian brought Liang Mancang and his brother over, Ling Xu had already been lecturing for more than two hours.
It was not until the morning of the third day that this door was officially opened. Less than an hour after it opened, formal visiting cards were already being delivered.
Subsequently, Lin Youde's astronauts performed the first spacewalk in human history, verifying the reliability of the spacesuits.
A familiar cry pulled his consciousness back from unconsciousness. Sean opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Old Bond's eyes, filled with deep concern.
As if that weren't enough, after walking a few steps, she probably felt tired and got on a public bus, frightening everyone on board.
With a gloomy face, he sat inside the makeshift tent, listening to the reports of his ministers. He never expected that, when they were already nearing the capital and merely a hundred miles away, such a sudden and unexpected change would occur. How could this not fill his mind with irritation?
The Five Southern Quarters of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility lie to the north of the Western Six Palaces, quite a distance from the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Even taking a shortcut, the journey took half an hour.
Drawing from thirty years of experience living in future generations, the military wanted to gain something from this, and he himself required the backing of the military. The nature of this relationship boiled down to three possibilities: a closer bond made them friends, a distant one made them partners, and the most direct form was mutual utilization.
Previously, those individual snow pits had only buried them up to their necks; then the snowfield fell silent, and the distant, rolling snowy mountains, like gods silent for a millennium, coldly looked down upon the humble lives beneath their feet.
All along, Yunshen had believed that the Beast-Language Ring was a one-of-a-kind existence, but unexpectedly, Hu Ruolan also possessed one.
After washing the dishes, Geng Xueqin hurriedly left the villa, fearing that if she stayed any longer, her lips would either swell up tomorrow or she would be devoured entirely. Therefore, possessing good self-awareness, she made a hasty exit.
Thinking of this, Hua Yileng also turned his back to her and let out a deep sigh. Perhaps this was their destiny; perhaps they could never truly be united in this lifetime. But it did not matter—as long as she remained by his side, that was enough.
Under such circumstances, he had even less face to return to the Mainland Elite Camp. When the castle collapsed earlier amidst the chaos, Liu Tongtian did not know whether he had managed to escape on his own or was trapped inside the castle.
This was also the advantage of the National Defense Army's powerful equipment; no matter how the enemy fought, he had means to suppress them. Yesterday, Huang Tingzhen had not considered things comprehensively, assuming that a single bombardment by the howitzer regiment could accomplish the whole feat in one stroke.
Why was that? Because, so the rumor went, Commander Wu never brought guard units with him wherever he went; if he did bring them, it meant a battle was imminent, and the guard units invariably spearheaded the assault. It had been so when Nanchang was liberated, and now, upon arriving at Wanping, he still had the Guard Division lead the vanguard.
Sure enough, staying by Mei'er's side naturally made their days much easier. Mei'er held no grudges against them on account of Dowager Empress Lan, and instead took care of them in every possible way.
The moment Tang Wan caught sight of Zuo Xiao, her pretty face inexplicably flushed. She hurriedly withdrew her hand from Shen Hanyue's grip and at the same time quickly let go of the hand she had been holding of Shen Hanyue's.
As for Xingyue, she took her mother's surname. That was a matter between the couple, and Wang Fuxin would not interfere.
