Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

Ten days later.

Peace Office.

Hongying lay on the table, idly counting the dumplings that had been wrapped long ago. "I wonder when Shiyuan and the others will arrive. The dumpling wrappers are almost dried out."

Wen Qimo smiled slightly, took a cover and covered the dumplings, "That way they won't get dirty."

"It's New Year's Eve, they'll definitely get here. Don't worry, they might be on their way." Zhao Kongcheng fiddled with a bottle of drink, telling Hongying not to rush, but his eyes kept glancing towards the door.

Under the expectant gazes of the three.

"Ding-dong—Welcome—"

Hongying and Zhao Kongcheng rushed out immediately.

At the door, a woman pushed the door open and entered. "Oh dear, Hongying, Teacher Zhao, why did you run so fast?"

Hongying was stunned for a moment, then quickly helped the other woman up, "Aunt Wang, you're here, come in and sit down."

"I'm bothering you again." Aunt Lin Qiye nodded with a smile, looking expectantly into the office.

Hongying knew what she was expecting, so she pursed her lips and led her aunt inside.

"It's only ten o'clock. The others will probably be here a while. It's a pity that Qiye went back to Urumqi again. I wonder when he'll get a holiday."

"Let's go watch TV for a while first, and then we can cook the dumplings when they arrive."

Hearing Hongying say that Lin Qiye couldn't come back, Aunt's eyes dimmed. She looked at Zhao Kongcheng beside her and said, "Teacher Zhao, I can understand that Ajin couldn't come back because he just joined the army a few months ago, but Qiye has been in the army for more than a year. Can't he even take a holiday for the New Year?"

Zhao Kongcheng froze, then gave an awkward laugh. "Um... well... when you join the army, you have to report your leave... and Qiye's place is on the border, so conditions are tough and it's possible that your leave won't be approved. So... hehehehehe."

Hongying covered her face.

Wen Qimo couldn't bear to look at Zhao Kongcheng's clumsy explanation, so he quickly led his aunt into the firm. If they continued chatting at the entrance, they would be exposed.

Although it may have been exposed long ago.

Auntie's face showed regret, but a knowing look flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly, "These two kids, Qiye and Ajin, are really something. Why did they both suddenly decide to join the army? They left in such a hurry, as if they were afraid I would stop them."

She shook her head and walked into the office. "My biggest wish in this life is for them to be happy together, but if they really have such lofty ideals, I will support them..."

Hearing her aunt's words, Hongying almost thought her aunt had discovered something. She couldn't help but look up and carefully examine her aunt's expression before smiling and saying...

“Aunt Wang, I will let you know as soon as I hear that Qiye is coming back. I know you miss him during the New Year, but he is busy with work. If you feel lonely, come to the office. It’s lively here.”

"Oh, that's true. Let's not even talk about Qiye. You've really gone to a lot of trouble these past few days. You even invited me over for New Year's Eve dinner today. I'm really grateful to you..."

"We're friends with Nanaya..."

Zhao Kongcheng stood alone at the entrance of the firm and couldn't help but light a cigarette.

Most of Cangnan has disappeared. Such a big thing cannot be kept secret from the locals of Cangnan.

Seven Nights is alright, they said a year ago that he joined the army, but his younger brother...

Well, nobody can really say for sure what the specifics are.

Moreover, on the day Cangnan disappeared, Lin Qiye appeared in front of his aunt. Even though they later made up an excuse that Lin Qiye was a temporary logistics personnel who was on a mission and returned the next day.

But everyone understands that this reason is far too far-fetched.

Fortunately, Lin Qiye did not leave through the portal in front of his aunt, but instead placed the portal outside the agency. Otherwise, they would have been blushing and unable to say such a ridiculous thing.

As for her aunt, she appeared to accept the reason on the surface, but whether she truly believed it or not, no one knows.

……

The clock hand points to eleven o'clock.

Just as Zhao Kongcheng was leaning against the gate, smoking a cigarette, wondering how to go in and face his aunt.

Three figures walked down from the Peace Bridge.

"Old Zhao? Why are you standing at the door smoking? Are you being lazy and not making dumplings?" A cheerful voice rang out.

A smile immediately appeared on Zhao Kongcheng's face as he looked up.

Jiang Shiyuan waved to Zhao Kongcheng with a smile.

"Is this how you see me? You guys are too slow. The dumplings were already wrapped and waiting for you." Zhao Kongcheng stubbed out his cigarette and said with a laugh.

“We set off last night. There are no direct flights from Beijing to Cangnan, so we had to transfer, which delayed us a bit,” Chen Muye explained, as he strode forward and gave Zhao Kongcheng a bear hug.

Zhao Kongcheng released Chen Muye, looked at Jiang Shiyuan, then at Wu Xiangnan, and pointed to the office. "Go in quickly. Hongying has called your names countless times today. I'm going to make dumplings."

Chen Muye nodded, pushed open the door and entered the office. "It's rare that I'm not a chef here today, so I'm going to have a good experience."

Wen Qimo, who was watching TV with his aunt and Hongying, shook his head upon hearing this. "No, Captain, we're all waiting for your cooking tonight. Hongying and I are only good at making dumplings, not a big meal."

Wu Xiangnan said, "Captain, it seems everyone misses your cooking. You'll have to show off your skills again tonight."

Chen Muyi pointed at Wen Qimo, "So you were waiting for me here? No wonder you were so looking forward to my return."

Everyone laughed, and the small office was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers outside.

Jiang Shiyuan politely greeted her aunt and then sat down next to Hongying, where the two whispered to each other.

While waiting for the dumplings to be served, Auntie stared at Jiang Shiyuan, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Girl, why do you look so familiar?" Auntie racked her brains, but couldn't remember where she was.

Jiang Shiyuan smiled at her aunt, "Auntie, we met at the firm not long ago."

"No, no, I meant even earlier." Auntie said helplessly; she wasn't senile yet.

Jiang Shiyuan was slightly taken aback. Even earlier? That was...

"Lin Qiye and I are classmates."

Auntie suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now!"

"When I went to the school to give the children eggs, I asked the students to get along well with Qiye. At that time, a little girl seriously promised to be friends with Qiye. Could it be you?" Aunt asked uncertainly.

Jiang Shiyuan nodded. She hadn't expected her aunt to remember their brief encounter at the school gate; her memory was truly remarkable.

Perhaps it was because her aunt cared so much about Lin Qiye that even though she only received a verbal promise from her, her aunt remembered her.

Auntie sat down next to Jiang Shiyuan with a pleasant surprise. "I knew you looked familiar. Qi Ye is a cold and opinionated kid. I didn't expect you to actually become friends with him."

"It's alright, he's just not good with words at first." Jiang Shiyuan scratched her head, not used to her aunt's sudden enthusiasm, so she could only make small talk by telling her aunt about Lin Qiye's daily life.

Auntie was overjoyed to know even a little bit about Lin Qiye, and she kept nodding in agreement with whatever Jiang Shiyuan said.

Hearing her aunt's supportive tone, Jiang Shiyuan felt embarrassed and could only rack her brains to keep talking.

She didn't realize that the daily life she described with Lin Qiye was clearly not something that could be achieved in just a few days of interaction.

By the time Jiang Shiyuan realized she had spoken too late, it was already too late. She secretly glanced at her aunt's face, and the loving smile on her aunt's face never faded, as if she hadn't noticed anything unusual.

As the saying goes, one may have a feeling in their heart, but pretend not to understand it; perhaps this is the state my aunt is in.

When Auntie saw that Jiang Shiyuan was not going to continue, she smiled and patted Jiang Shiyuan's hand.

"It seems you two get along very well. I'm relieved that Qiye has made friends at school..."
