Operation Red Book

Unexpectedly, Ivy did not resist. Instead, she hugged Joshua tightly and sobbed heavily in his arms.

What was even more unexpected was that the green curtain at the back was suddenly lifted up, and six figures of varying heights, weights and body shapes walked out one after another.

They looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Over there, Ivy and "Joshua" were inseparable. They were immersed in each other's comfort, and no one smelled the sudden awkwardness in the air.

Here, a young woman walked out slowly. She glanced at the people behind her and opened her mouth several times but no sound came out.

At the silent urging of her companions, she took a few deep breaths, and finally...

"Ms. Ivy?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Ah! It's me, Miss Ivy! It's Mingcan!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Ivy pushed "Joshua" away, completely unaware of the pair of eyes that quietly turned red and then quickly turned back to flaxen.

"what!"

The floating soul was pulled back to its original body, and the moment Joshua came to his senses, he felt a sharp pain from his back.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Ivy covered her cheeks with her hands, the fear in her eyes was several times more intense than the screams she exclaimed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

On the other side, Mingcan pointed his finger at Ivy and Joshua and screamed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The fat white chef also screamed. His voice was like a donkey whipped by a whip, an octave higher than the two ladies'.

"Ah-ah-"

The young errand boy followed the chef's call and shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice sounded a little perfunctory.

"La la la!"

"Hahaha!"

Two little girls who looked extremely similar were laughing and playing amid the screams in the room, as if what pierced the eardrums was not the sharp sound of an object, but the morning glory petals scattered all over the sky.

"Don't make trouble!"

A deep scolding came, carrying with it the majesty of a mother and the intimidation of an elder.

The two little girls stopped when they heard the sound, and immediately put their hands behind their backs and pursed their lips.

The power of scolding goes far beyond this. The other two girls also stopped screaming. Sure enough, scolding from parents is the best medicine for the physique of Chinese babies.

"Oh my! I thought you were going to take off your clothes right away, and couldn't wait to enter the box to start making love..."

Mingcan rubbed his red cheeks with the back of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is she talking about?"

Joshua turned his face towards Ivy out of habit, but was ruthlessly pushed away on the cheek by a hot, wet hand.

“Nothing… … ”

Ivy didn't dare to raise her eyes and could only try her best to suppress the pounding of her heart.

"I thought, I thought there was no one in Muyunzhai!"

She defended herself, the panic in her eyes still nowhere to hide.

"Even if there's no one here, you can't do that!" The chef rolled his eyes rudely, "How dirty! That's not nice to girls, don't do that next time!"

"no no!"

Ivy frowned, clearly wanting to explain the grief brought back by the scene, so why did the conversation suddenly change direction?

"What is he talking about?" Joshua stretched out his pretty face again as if he was familiar with her.

"Sheesh!"

Ivy was startled and she raised her hand again, this time with anger, there were short slaps and the sound of her head hitting the wall.

"I thought you were all captured by that group of thieves. Muyunzhai was deserted, Mr. Zhu was nowhere to be found, and your safety was still uncertain. That's why I suddenly broke down."

She pointed her chin in Joshua's direction and pretended to straighten her collar.

"He just used his shoulder to comfort me. It's not the kind of relationship you think. It's impossible for us to become..."

"Woooooooooooo..."

Before he could finish his words, Miss Mingcan in front of him suddenly pouted her lips, lowered her head and burst into tears.

She took out a light yellow handkerchief, covered her face with it and cried, like a yellow peony dripping with dew in the early morning.

"Hey!"

Seeing this familiar tearful face, Ivy felt indescribably complicated.

She hurried forward and put her arm around Mingcan's shoulders.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Ivy gently wiped away Mingcan's tears with the back of her fingers and looked for help from all directions.

Unexpectedly, the situation of the other people stranded in Muyunzhai was not much better.

The two children cried loudly, the chef cried like a donkey, and the errand boy cried his eyes out.

Even the mother, who was pretending to be strong, turned her head away, faced the crowd and silently wiped her moist eyes.

"This is...this is..."

Ivy suddenly felt something was wrong. The uncontrollable sadness came like a tide, sweeping away the last pebble in her heart.

She swallowed a large ball of saliva with a gulp and asked in an almost hoarse voice: "What happened in the past two months?"

"Tell me quickly..."
