Chapter Twenty-Five Return to Anping
The next morning, under the send-off of Old Master Tang, Tang Yu Ru and Tang Wei Guo, Mo Shao Kun and Qin Xin, who looked tired, left Kyoto with Mo Hong Jun.
This time they returned to Anping and did not take a civil airliner, coincidentally there was a military transport plane going that way, so they hitched a ride.
At first, Mo Shaokun was still a bit excited. Every man has a soldier's dream in his heart, and he is no exception. However, he knew that he had no hope of becoming a soldier in this life, and it was rare to have the opportunity to take a military plane once.
After the excitement passed, he was left with only anxiety. The comfort of this military transport plane is far inferior to that of a civilian airliner, and even though he thought his physical condition was not bad, he could hardly bear it, let alone Qin Xuan, who had already turned pale, and if it weren't for the fact that her uncle was by her side, she would have probably lost control long ago.
Fortunately, this torturous journey did not last too long. About two hours later, the plane slowly landed at a military airport in Anping City.
"Shaokun, Uncle has to rush back to Ganzhou soon, so I won't see you off in person." Mo Hongjun said as they got off the plane.
"Uh-huh, you go ahead with your business, we'll just head back ourselves."
"If something happens, call your uncle. After a while, when I have time, I and your aunt will come to see you." Mo Hongjun helped him tidy up his clothes and gently patted his chest with affection in her eyes.
"En, I see." Mo Shaokun nodded and said.
Turning his head to look at Qin Xuan, Mo Hongjun said: "Go back and greet your father for me, I haven't seen him in years either."
"Do you know my father?" Qin Xuan asked with some surprise.
"Hmm, back then when I was leading troops in the southwest, your father was the mayor of the city where our unit was stationed. We were quite familiar with each other, and I'm sure your father must have missed me too."
For some reason, when Qin Xuan saw the strange smile on Mo Hongjun's face, her heart skipped a beat. However, she didn't dare ask anything more and could only nod and say: "I'll pass it on to my father."
After chatting for a while, Mo Hongjun arranged for someone to send them back to the city.
In the car, Mo Shaokun asked: "Sister, are you going straight home?"
"Of course, I didn't sleep well last night anyway. I was thinking of catching up on some rest on the plane, but instead my bones are almost falling apart." Qin gave him a white-eyed glare and said irritably.
"Serves you right, who told you to go out and play so late last night?" Mo Shaokun said with a pout.
Qin Chen's eyes widened and he said, "You little brat, if it weren't for your sister, I wouldn't have to work so hard, would I? Hmph! If you had just stayed one more day, none of this would have happened. Maybe we wouldn't even be on this broken plane."
"Is this also my fault? This time I'm busy and can't see you and your gang, what's the difference next time we meet?"
"Shut up, you little brat! Do you know what relationships between people are about? They need to be nurtured. If you don't put others in your heart, nobody will put you in theirs!"
Mo Shaokun didn't say anything else. Although his face showed a hint of disdain, he actually agreed with Qin Xuan's words in his heart.
Isn't that how the circle is formed? Qin Xiang's news of returning to Kyoto must have been known by her sisters, and before she was busy taking care of her father and had no time to find them, it's not her fault. But if she has finished everything and is ready to leave but still doesn't go see those sisters, then that would be unrighteous of her.
Those who can get along with Qin Xuan are also the descendants of the wealthy families. What these princesses and daughters care about is nothing but their reputation. If Qin Xuan leaves without even saying goodbye to them, it would be considered as not giving them face in their eyes. Perhaps they won't say anything, but deep down, they will feel somewhat resentful.
She stretched and leaned back in her chair, saying weakly: "I'll take a nap first, wake me up when we arrive." After that, she closed her eyes.
She had waited for half a day without seeing Mo Shaokun respond, she slightly furrowed her brow and opened her eyes to find Mo Shaokun's gaze fixed intently on her.
"What's with that look? Am I really so good-looking?" Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and stared at Mo Shaokun.
Mo Shaokun came back to his senses and a faintly bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, it's really beautiful."
Qin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, she really didn't expect Mo Shaokun to say something like that so suddenly, this kid's mouth wasn't usually so sweet.
But the next moment she got up with a playful smile on her face and leaned close to Mo Shaokun, asking: "Really?"
Mo Shaokun's face was slightly flushed, at this moment Qin Xing was only a fist away from him, he could even clearly feel the faint scent coming out of Qin Xing's mouth.
Earlier, when Qin Chen stretched her waist, he was really stunned. He had long known that Qin Chen was beautiful, but at that moment, her wavy hair fell casually, and her absolutely beautiful face wore a slightly lazy expression, which was exactly the same as every time Milan stretched after overtime!
The two people looked completely different, but the feeling they gave him at that moment was almost the same.
"Hmm, very beautiful, you are the second most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Mo Shaokun's expression slightly darkened as he said.
"Is that the second beauty? Then who is the most beautiful one you've seen? Hmph, I'd like to see who can surpass me." Qin Xuan said somewhat discontentedly. She wouldn't think of herself as the number one beauty in the world, but as a woman, she couldn't help feeling competitive in this aspect.
Mo Shaokun previously said she was beautiful, which made her very happy. However, when Mo Shaokun said she was the second most beautiful, she felt a bit displeased. Does being the second most beautiful mean she's not beautiful? She is still very beautiful, still superior to many people, but that's just how human psychology works.
Mo Shaokun shook his head and said nothing. At this moment, his mind was filled with the image of Milan. Now Milan should be thirteen years old? Where would she be?
Although he knew Milin's later residence, the community was not built at all. Until now, Mo Shaokun felt a little guilty that he knew too little about Milin. He only knew that Milin graduated from a high school in Kyoto, her parents were ordinary working-class people, and as for other things, he didn't know anything.
If he had cared more about and understood Miling earlier, perhaps there would be a way to find her now.
But all of this is only if, in this life, he still has the chance to reunite with Milan. He doesn't know, this hope is very slim, but as long as there's a glimmer of hope, he won't give up!
"It's so boring." Seeing Mo Shaokun turn his head to look out the window and ignore him, Qin Xuan suddenly felt a bit bored, muttered a sentence under his breath, and then leaned back in his chair to meditate.
After a long while, the driver in front turned his head and said: "Sir, we've already arrived at the city area. Where are we going now?"
Mo Shaokun then withdrew his gaze, looked at Qin Xing beside him, and saw that she was breathing evenly, apparently already asleep. Mo Shaokun couldn't bear to wake her up, but he didn't know where Qin Xing's home was.
"Go to Wenchui Road in Nanxing District."
It seems like she can only sleep at her own home now, anyway they are siblings so there's no need to worry about any misunderstandings.
