Chapter 18
Jiang Li walked out of the backstage just at this moment, looked up and saw Xia Mu lying motionless on the desk, frowned immediately, and turned her head to order the servant: "Ai Li, go and see what's wrong with that little girl, is she not feeling well?"
The maid responded quickly and walked onto the stage.
Beside the desk, His Royal Highness Eggroll was still trying to capture the unusual aroma of the cat.
Xia Mu, who was sleeping soundly, was gently shaken awake by the maid.
"Little girl, why don't you eat dinner? Is there something wrong?"
Xia Mu didn't expect that he fell asleep. When he came back to his senses, he rubbed his eyes and replied, "No, no, I didn't sleep well last night, but I was a little sleepy."
The maid smiled kindly at her, pointed to the bento on the desk, and reminded: "This is the bento that His Highness lined up to get for you. The rehearsal doesn't end until nine o'clock. Why don't you eat something while it's hot?"
Xia Mu turned her head in surprise when she heard the words, only to find that His Highness was sitting side by side, looking up at her curiously with her little bun face up.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Your Highness, I just fell asleep." Xia Mu quickly brought the lunch box in front of him, opened the lid, and saw the dishes, his eyes twitched slightly, and he hurriedly praised against his will: "Oh, it turned out to be sauce Rice with bamboo shoots... This is my favorite! Your Highness really has a heart."
This is the only bento left on the dining car, but I didn't expect the bad cat to like it very much.
His Royal Highness Egg Roll raised the corner of his mouth proudly, approached Xia Mu, and boasted earnestly: "I know cats very well. In fact, I have liked cats since I was a child."
"Oh...is that so?" Xia Mu was very puzzled by the sudden flattery of this black-bellied cub. He was still "childish", what childhood was a six-year-old cub?Before breaking the shell?
She couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Highness is a child now, that is to say, you like me very much now?"
"You can say that." His Highness looked sideways at the maid standing by the desk, and ordered loudly, "Aunt Ellie, tell her what my favorite animal is."
The maid was stunned when she heard the words, her mind was spinning, she remembered the pets His Highness had been collecting recently, she immediately nodded and replied, "It's the pink bird-eating spider, Your Highness."
Xia Mu: "..."
His Highness hurriedly asked: "No, I mean before, before this."
The maid blinked, remembering the pets His Highness collected two months ago, and immediately changed her words: "It's a salamander, Your Highness."
Xia Mu: "..."
You never liked cats at all, you bastard pup!
His Royal Highness Egg Roll was desperate, and then cheered up again. A pair of purple pupils looked at Xia Mu intently through the long eyelashes, and explained sincerely: "This person is not Aunt Avery, I mistook the person, Avery must know I like cats."
"Pfft..." Xia Mu suppressed a smile, and nodded vigorously with the corners of his mouth twitching: "I believe you, Your Highness, and I have also liked Dihera Feilong since I was a child."
His Royal Highness Egg Roll's gaze kept on her. Such extraordinary enthusiasm made Xia Mu more and more puzzled.
Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks, His Highness's nose twitched slightly, as if she smelled the long-awaited scent again.
His Highness suddenly looked at Xia Mu with a face full of surprise, and stretched out his little hand to her——
There was a crisp sound of "cha".
Your Highness is out of scale...
This little fat man, with a haughty face, flinched at her!
Xia Mu was dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, when a cub shows its deterrent power to other alphas, it is out of a provocative mood, but this little fat man was still enthusiastic about her like never before, why did he get out of his scales at the slightest disagreement?
Suddenly, Xia Mu thought of the little guy showing the dragon scales to Tong Na, and his heart skipped a beat.
Is it...
Children's expressions are very direct.
If she guessed right...
Feeling tired for the past two days...
Is it because...
Xia Mu's face turned pale.
Wouldn't it be so coincidental!
She had specifically checked before that the enlightenment period of Omega is generally 12-15 years old and lasts for seven days.
The glands will gradually dilate, and the smell of adenine will gradually become stronger. The whole process will be accompanied by symptoms such as low-grade fever, chest tightness, vomiting, and lethargy.
According to the records on the Internet, this stage is quite painful. During the enlightenment period of Omega, there is a statutory rest period of 21 days, but...
She didn't feel the "pain that is worse than death" that those omega online said!
Just a little sleepy!
Xia Mu couldn't believe it. This was his reaction during the enlightenment period, but the cub Dihera in front of him was still stretching out his chubby arms, waiting for her to "worship in amazement".
She has reason to believe that this proud black-bellied cub will never flatter her for no reason.
The guy must like her smell.
Xia Mu was dizzy for a while, and her heart was pounding.
After careful recollection, she should have been enlightened for more than 36 hours. If she continues to stay here, the glandular breath may erupt at any time!
She stood up suddenly, and there was a harsh friction sound between the chair and the floor——
"I'm sorry! Your Highness, I, I... I have a bit of a stomachache, it's time to take medicine!" Xia Mu hurriedly pushed away the maid who blocked the way, "I'm sorry! I have to go to the backstage to get medicine!"
"Tummy trouble?" Seeing Xia Mu leaving in a hurry, the maid stepped down quickly and returned to the queen.
Xia Mu wanted to withdraw money to buy a chewable depressant tablet, which was a temporary depressant, and one tablet could only be used for one day, and it only cost 15 yuan.
But as soon as she rushed into the dressing room, she saw a familiar person lying silently in front of the dressing mirror. It was Qin Jiaxiu.
The sound of pushing the door startled her, Qin Jiaxiu suddenly raised her head, meeting Xia Mu's gaze.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Jiaxiu's eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and her voice was still crying.
Xia Mu didn't answer, rushed to the cabinet in a hurry, found the change bag in the schoolbag, got up and ran out the door.
Qin Jiaxiu watched her rushing out of the room expressionlessly, with doubts in her eyes, then she stood up and followed Xia Mu out the door quietly.
Followed all the way to a large pharmacy outside the school.
Not long after entering, Xia Mu rushed out the door, turned around and ran to the school.
Qin Jiaxiu stood in the corner and frowned, wanting to know what Xia Mu bought, but also worried that the people in the pharmacy would not reveal the customer's privacy.
She thought about it carefully, then acted flustered, then rushed into the pharmacy, and said anxiously to the salesperson, "Get me another one, hurry up, it's the one my friend just bought."
The salesperson looked outside the door suspiciously, and asked her, "That little girl bought it just now?"
"Yes! Yes! Hurry up, we need it urgently!"
The salesperson didn't have time to think about it, this kind of suppressant pills is really fatal in a hurry, she quickly tore another bag of single tablets from the shelf, and handed it to Qin Jiaxiu.
Qin Jiaxiu looked at the name of the drug on the packaging bag, and was immediately puzzled.
After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly opened her eyes wide!
-
Knowing that Xia Mu had a stomachache, the queen thought about it carefully and decided to take the opportunity to send Xia Mu home and visit Su Yumo and his wife by the way.
Worried that Duan Zitong would slip up when he went back, Jiang Li asked the maid to stay with the child at school, continue rehearsing, and meet at the school gate after work.
Xia Mu's symptoms gradually disappeared after taking the medicine, but the maid suddenly came to inform that the queen would personally send her home to rest.
Xia Mu had to ask for leave temporarily, and followed the queen out of school.
Along the way, the Queen asked about her parents.
Xia Mu didn't dare to talk too much, she just said that everything was normal, and didn't mention that her parents were going to sell the house.
It was past eight o'clock when I got home, and Xia Rui'an was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching a football game.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and saw the person standing beside his daughter, and he stood up immediately in shock.
"I hope I didn't bother you. The child has a stomachache, so I sent her back on the way." Jiang Li stood at the door gracefully, looking around the room, and asked calmly, "Yumo hasn't come back yet?"
The queen's sudden arrival made the whole family panic. Xia Rui'an respectfully welcomed her into the house, and then rushed upstairs to inform his wife to go downstairs to greet her.
Su Yumo was originally sorting out her work schedule. After receiving the news of the five thunderbolts, she fully demonstrated the resilience of the leader of the royal secret service guard team——
She put on a mask, combed her hair, found out the most expensive dress and changed into it, all in one go.
After 5 minutes, walk downstairs quickly.
In the living room, the couple stood side by side in front of the queen, with their heads held high and their chests straight, their fingers of their right hands pressed close to their hearts, performing a standard military salute.
Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she smiled to tell the two of them not to be too polite, she stepped forward to hold Su Yumo's hand, and chatted with her.
Xia Rui'an searched around in the refrigerator, but couldn't find a bottle of red wine that was readily available, and it was hard to go out to buy it, so she took the wine glass, opened two cans of peach-flavored soda and poured it.
Su Yumo was worried that the queen would find out the predicament at home, so he didn't dare to lead her upstairs. Seeing that the drink her husband poured was cheap soda, she deliberately explained: "Ruian is allergic to alcohol, and there is no red wine in the house."
Jiang Li took a sip of the soda, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm used to drinking soda. After Tongtong can walk, I won't dare to drink at home."
Su Yumo was relieved by her casualness, and said casually, "Your Highness still drinks alcohol?"
"Frankly speaking, I haven't found any food that Tongtong dare not eat." Jiang Li pouted, looking depressed: "The dessert freezers at home are all equipped with combination locks, and they were still locked by that little bastard last week." It was disassembled, and five boxes of puddings and three boxes of cakes were missing overnight."
Su Yumo couldn't help laughing out loud, and the atmosphere eased somewhat.
The two chatted for a long time. Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Jiang Li pretended to suddenly think of something, and said seriously: "By the way, I heard from the C&B of the Secret Service HR department that before you leave, there are still three tasks that have not been settled, but Because of the cancellation of the position, there is no way to pay you directly, I just came today—"
She dug out the checkbook from her bag, deliberately making a businesslike expression.
She looked for an opportunity to come this trip, and she planned to send a sum of money to the couple in the name of work to solve their debt crisis.
After getting along for so many years, she knew the character of her personal guard—Su Yumo would never accept charity, so she could only find such a reason to pay.
However, even though the queen's reason was very official, Su Yumo, who was sitting across from her, still had a gloomy face.
The atmosphere in the room froze into ice in an instant.
"Please don't do this, Your Highness." Su Yumo stared straight at Jiang Li, and said unquestionably, "We are doing well."
Jiang Li's hands froze, and she looked up at Su Yumo - the leader of the secret service who was so proud that no one could trample on his self-esteem.
The queen didn't want to give up this opportunity to help her benefactor, so she immediately opened her mouth to defend: "I don't understand what you're talking about, I just... just, you know, I like... business, we... We can't delay your salary."
"Don't do this, Your Highness." Su Yumo categorically refused again, and looked up at Jiang Li, with the arrogance of the past still vaguely in his eyes.
The conversation broke up badly.
Jiang Li's check was not delivered, so she had to get up and leave, and Xia Mu's family went out to send it off respectfully.
After getting in the car, Jiang Li suddenly pressed the window, waved and shouted to Xia Mu: "Your script is still in my car!"
Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, her script was obviously in her schoolbag, and it was already in the study.
After a little hesitation, she walked quickly to the car window and waited for the queen's order.
Jiang Li quickly took out a stack of banknotes from her wallet, and hurriedly stuffed them into Xia Mu's arms: "I didn't bring you a gift today, take these and go buy some delicious food with your sister."
Xia Mu turned her back to her parents in the distance, looking at the embarrassed face of the beautiful woman in the car, as if begging her to accept it.
Xia Mu lowered her head—that stack of banknotes was all in the face value of one thousand...
How many years is this enough dried fish and bamboo shoots in sauce for her and her sister?
"This...I..." Xia Mu wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered about the inhibitor.
If she lied to her parents that it was a cram school, she would have to go out three times a week, and it would be easy to be exposed.
Now, an opportunity that does not lie before her——
Xia Mu took a deep breath and took out one from a stack of banknotes: "Thank you, this one is enough for us to eat."
Jiang Li didn't want to give up, but she saw Su Yumo approaching suspiciously from the corner of her eye. She had no choice but to quickly put away the banknotes and bid farewell to Xia Mu.
Xia Mu hurriedly stuffed the money into her collar, turned around, and looked at her mother——
"Where's the script?" Su Yumo looked at her daughter suspiciously.
Xia Mu shrugged: "The queen made a mistake, it was the script of His Royal Highness."
