Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Not only did Xiao Momo and Xia Xiao not see each other often, but Xia Xiao even went to the military academy quietly.

When Hero Xiao made the suggestion, Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu both felt a little embarrassed. How could one person be missing at such an important moment? So Su Qingchen simply decided not to go, otherwise little Momo would seem like he was ostracized by the whole family.

Little Momo seemed to have gradually accepted this reality. He went to school when he was supposed to and did programming in his spare time. Mozhu would ask the company's engineers to give him guidance from time to time, and the engineers were all amazed at Little Momo's achievements.

Time passed like this, and according to the news from Master Xiao, he wouldn't even come back for the New Year.

Su Qingchen was very dissatisfied with him.

"Are you planning to leave our family?" Su Qingchen asked on the phone.

"No, I applied for an internship at the military camp. Internship opportunities are only available during holidays."

"You've only been there for half a year. What's so good about the internship?"

"They received a new batch of weapons this year, and I want to try them out..."

"Is there any weapon that your brother Mo Zhu doesn't have?"

"Yes, I do, but I have no place to use it. I can't bomb the latest A77 stealth fighter anywhere..."

Su Qingchen glanced at Mo Zhu, and Mo Zhu nodded.

"How do you know they'll give it to you if you go there?"

"That's what I applied for. I passed all the assessments."

“…” Su Qingchen didn’t say much.

"I won't tell you much about this, but do you know when the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is?"

"know."

"Just knowing isn't enough."

"I have prepared the gift and I will send it to him."

"That's pretty much it."

In the days that followed, Xiao Daxia spent all his time in the military academy and the army. Except for occasional phone calls, he never returned home.

Mo Zhu often travels on business, and occasionally goes to see him when passing by.

"Another year has passed, and you still have no plans to go home?"

"You know all my arrangements. I didn't mean to not reply..."

"If you don't make any arrangements, you'll be free, right? Who told you to make so many arrangements? Your brother Xiaochen gets angry when he talks about it, but I don't care. I still have two little Os at home."

“Some opportunities are rare, and if you miss them, they’re gone.”

"Then you can just ignore the ones at home. Little Momo has grown taller than before."

"...Did he receive the gift I sent to Momo-chan?"

"I gave it to him. I don't know if he opened it or not."

"Oh……"

"It's normal for you to have your own plans. Even though we are family, we shouldn't restrict you with our own ideas. But there is one thing I might need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Little Momo's background is a little special. We promised his family that we would restore his memory when he turns 18."

"His family? Boss Ye Ming?"

"Oh? The reading was not in vain..."

"In the past few years, you never brought Little Momo with you when dealing with outsiders, except for Boss Ye Ming."

"You're getting some shape." Although Mo Zhu had some opinions about Master Xiao, he was still pleased with his growth.

"Ye Ming is his uncle, his real name is Ye Qiu." Mo Zhu said.

"Can his memory recovery be controlled manually?"

"Because his amnesia was man-made. He had lost family members twice before. After escaping death the second time, his mental state was very bad. He even tried to commit suicide. In order to make it easier for him to receive treatment, Ye Ming injected him with an amnesia drug."

“Why 18?”

"Because I'm 18 and grown up, I can start taking care of the household chores."

"Little Momo...how big can he be at 18?" Hero Xiao couldn't imagine what little Momo would look like when he grew up.

"He only has memories of the past few years, so he doesn't look very old now. Besides, we haven't made him experience anything that requires him to grow up. But it will definitely be different after he regains his memory."

Hero Xiao remained silent.

"So if he regains his memory, what will he be responsible for in his family?"

"Ye Ming and I have been working hard over the years, and we also hope to give him a life without difficulties, but we have not done so yet." Mo Zhu sighed.

"It's not like he has to bear anything. Before, when he was still young, we, the so-called adults, decided some things for him that we thought were good for him, but everything after that has to be left to him."

"He's going to seek revenge?"

"Although the choice is his, you know him. What do you think he would choose if he regained his memory?"

Hero Xiao felt a little headache and didn't want to face this problem.

"So, this birthday is very important to him. In our family, starting from your identity registration, everyone should be together at important moments. Brother Xiaochen and I hope that you, an important family member, can be present as well."

"I see."

"Well, tell me when the time is set and I'll pick you up then."

"Did you start making arms because of what happened with little Momo?"

"You can say that." Mo Zhu did not hide it.

"why?"

"No reason, it just happened naturally. We just happened to adopt you two, and then I happened to meet his uncle and learn about his family's situation. I just happened to need to do something, so I made arms."

"understood."

Mo Zhu originally thought that he would have to use a lot of effort and moral blackmail to persuade Xiao Daxia to come back, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

This time, Xia Xiao's reaction even exceeded Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu's expectations. They were all prepared that Xia Xiao might come back at a late hour, but they didn't expect that Xia Xiao would come back the next day and get home earlier than Mo Zhu.

"You're willing to come back!" Su Qingchen went up and slapped Hero Xiao on the arm, then pinched it again, "Oh? You've practiced well, you've learned a lot."

"Then can I still be lazy..."

"If you dare to be lazy, this is not the way to fight." Su Qingchen took the backpack from Xia Xiao.

"He's gotten a lot darker, but he's also become more handsome."

"hey-hey."

"Please clean up first. The room has been tidied for you. Just pack your luggage."

"Well, this is for you. It's a specialty from there with a strong fruity aroma. Try it and see if you like it." Hero Xiao took out a large bag of coffee beans from his bag.

"This gift is 100 points! Thank you!" Su Qingchen took it happily.

"Hey, I'll go clean up then."

"Okay, then... wait... later... I'm going to pick up little Momo from school. Do you want to go with me?" Su Qingchen asked tentatively.

"What time do we leave? I'll go with you." Hero Xiao said without hesitation.

This resolute attitude shocked Su Qingchen for a moment, but he still said calmly, "We'll set off in forty minutes."

"Got it, I'll finish it quickly."
