Xu Lǜ blinked her emerald eyes, innocently raising the comic in her hand.
Xu Qian saw the title on the book: The CEO Falls in Love with Me.
Xu Qian pressed her temples, immediately snatching away the romance comics and replacing them with some proper zombie comics.
Xu Qian peeled another corn kernel, broke off half, and offered the other half to Xu Lǜ.
"Want some?"
Xu Qian didn't know if zombies ate this stuff. If he wanted to eat it, fine, otherwise, she'd have to go out and eat zombies herself.
Xu Lǜ was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it.
He sniffed the corn under his nose, then took a bite.
"Crunch, crunch."
He swallowed it down.
In less than a minute, the entire corn, down to the cob, disappeared.
Xu Qian was speechless. As long as he didn't die, it was fine. It didn't matter.
After finishing the corn, Xu Lǜ reached out to grab the corn fried with meat from the plate, intending to eat it with his hands.
"Hey, hey, Xu Lǜ, don't use your hands!"
Xu Qian stuffed chopsticks into his hand and held it, showing him how to pick up food.
Xu Lǜ's bright green eyes were fixed on Xu Qian's profile, his mind nowhere near learning to use chopsticks.
How could his mother be so beautiful, so beautiful?
Truly beautiful.
Even more beautiful than the characters in the comics.
Xu Qian tried to teach him for a long time, but he just couldn't get it.
Annoyed, she directly gave him a spoon and told him to eat with it.
However, as soon as Xu Qian let go of his hand, he himself picked up the chopsticks and precisely picked up kernels of corn, putting them into his mouth.
Xu Qian: "..."
If you can, you're amazing.
After dinner, they got into the car. Xu Qian instructed him not to wander off before going into the space to shower.
Xu Lǜ paced irritably in the cabin.
When Xu Qian came out, he immediately clung to her like a good dog.
Xu Qian flattened the booth seat, placing a pillow and quilt on it.
"Go to sleep. I'm going to sleep in the back."
Xu Lǜ obediently sat down, his green eyes fixed on Xu Qian's retreating back.
After Xu Qian went into the inner room, he touched the pillow and quilt, lay down, and closed his eyes.
A moment later, the lights dimmed.
A pair of glowing green eyes were exceptionally bright in the darkness.
Xu Qian rolled around in the inner room and fell asleep.
She hadn't slept well last night and had been driving all day today, feeling dead tired.
While Xu Qian was sleeping soundly, Xiang Jin Tian was frantically searching.
He had almost turned J City upside down but still hadn't found any trace of Xu Qian.
For the first time, Xiang Jin Tian regretted not installing a GPS on her.
Everyone in the army had one, which allowed the army to locate them promptly.
At the time, he hadn't thought she'd stay in the army for long, so he hadn't installed it.
Now, he regretted it immensely.
Xiong Yong An ran over, covered in dust, and panted, "Boss, still no sign."
Xiang Jin Tian pressed his temples.
"Has the base inspection been completed?"
Xiong Yong An quickly nodded, "The inspection is complete. No problems."
Xiang Jin Tian had a terrible headache. The data was with Xu Qian, and now she was missing. Even if the troops returned to A City, it would be useless.
Moreover, if she, a young girl, were to be accidentally captured by people from a small base while traveling alone...
Xiang Jin Tian's lips tightened. After a moment of thought, he ordered, "First, arrange for the troops to inspect other bases in the direction of A City. I'll go find her myself."
Military duties could not be delayed. If the person in charge blamed him for leaving without authorization, so be it.
The most important thing now was to find Xu Qian. Whether it was a personal or official matter, she was very important.
