Chapter 629: The First Flight

Book Chapter 629: The First Time You Flew (Update 2)

5:00 AM. Lin

The gentleness around him was like an alluring abyss tempting one to fall.

Xiao Yu forced himself awake, bowed his head, and kissed the sleeping Mu Qingwu before rising quietly.

He first changed Baby’s diaper, powdered her, then went to warm the milk.

After feeding, it was already 5:30 AM when Xiao Yu stepped into the Kitchen.

By six, breakfast was ready.

A soft body pressed against Xiao Yu’s back as a pair of jade-like arms wrapped around his waist.

“Good morning.”

Xiao Yu turned with a smile and kissed his sister’s forehead.

Mu Qingwu said nothing, clinging tightly to her younger brother.

For no apparent reason, guilt welled up inside Xiao Yu.

Mu Qingwu appeared cool and distant, yet at times domineering and aloof.

But after all, she was only a woman.

She just felt uneasy being so close to Xiao Yu because she was his elder sister.

Turning around, Xiao Yu pulled Mu Qingwu into his arms. “I’m sorry!”

“What are you saying!”

With her face pressed to his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, Mu Qingwu said, “Women can be so greedy—loving a man who stays by their side every day while dreaming of him being a valiant hero. But in this world, there’s no perfect deal. If you hadn’t fought to defend our country for me, maybe… we wouldn’t be this happy together!”

Xiao Yu smiled.

Always calling me foolish—but she’s the real silly one.

Mu Qingwu’s words oddly triggered a classic line from a past life in his mind: “I’ll use my inner power to force out whatever you’ve left inside me. Don’t worry about me.”

He had forgotten which movie it came from.

But a line so cheeky would stick with Xiao Yu for two lifetimes.

Messes like these are exactly what foolish women love to do!

“Almost there.”

Xiao Yu held his sister’s slender waist. “A few more busy years, and I’ll be there every day for you and the baby.”

That’s right—in a few years, once I reach a certain position, going on assignments will be out of the question.

Even if you wanted to, no one would dare let you!

So Xiao Yu cherished these ‘final few years’ deeply.

He happily solved cases and enjoyed life like a carefree young man.

“By then, you’ll move to the Capital City, right?” Mu Qingwu asked with a gentle smile.

“Yeah,” Xiao Yu nodded helplessly.

“Will little brother be pretty handsome by then?”

Mu Qingwu lifted her face, her eyes curved like crescent moons.

“Not really handsome, huh?”

Xiao Yu grinned, “Maybe just an average good-looking guy.”

“Haha!”

Mu Qingwu laughed like a blooming flower and pinched Xiao Yu’s cheek. “Am I still allowed to pinch you like this?”

“Why not?”

Xiao Yu flashed a grin. “Better wait until we’re old so you can still do it.”

How wonderful… Mu Qingwu nestled into Xiao Yu’s embrace.

It was pure earthly tenderness.

We whispered sweet nothings.

We grew old together.

It was all worth it.

……

Criminal Investigation Team.

After a night’s rest at home, with his mind cleared, Xiao Yu felt reenergized.

It was the best remedy for tangled thoughts.

The same goes for solving cases.

Neglecting a case to rest at home? That procedure just doesn’t add up, does it?

No, the procedure is exactly right.

Because this case involved a key figure who needed recovery from injuries, an interrogation could be held today.

Xiao Yu took Guo Qiang and Wang Cheng and headed straight for the Hospital.

Along the way, Guo Qiang drove, Wang Cheng sat in the front passenger seat, and Xiao Yu took the back.

He glanced at his protégé’s face, beaming with smug satisfaction.

Xiao Yu thought Wang Cheng looked just like a kindergartener proudly awarded a little red star.

He was both proud and arrogant, yet he held back his excitement.

But truly, it was something to be proud of.

In today’s world, some fall in love, some cheat, and some remain lonely all year long.

Just having a partner is already quite something…

“Are you living with Yan Yu Jie now?” Xiao Yu asked with a laugh.

“Huh?”

Wang Cheng turned around, grinning broadly, and nodded. “Yeah.”

“Young man, don’t overdo the drinking.”

Guo Qiang made a cheeky remark, “Take care of your health.”

“Hehe.”

Wang Cheng scratched his head and continued grinning foolishly, “Even the master is still young.”

Damn it, what do you take me for… Xiao Yu’s expression instantly froze.

That unlucky protégé!

“Master, can I ask something…” Wang Cheng began again.

“Don’t ask. I don’t know.”

In an instant, Xiao Yu’s gentle smile vanished, replaced by an expression of weary familiarity.

He grumbled inside, ‘Are you some kind of endless why machine?’

“Cut it out.”

Wang Cheng pleaded with a smile, “I just wanted to ask, does Master’s wife also stir up trouble on the regular?”

As if any woman wouldn’t like a bit of mischief.

Xiao Yu and Guo Qiang exchanged glances and shook their heads with a smile.

Ah, youth!

“If you treat a woman well, she usually won’t stir up trouble.”

After all, as the master, he couldn’t let his protégé roam clueless all day. So Xiao Yu imparted some wisdom, “As the saying goes, when beauty fades in the palace, victory brings smiles to all.”

“But what if…”

Before he knew it, Wang Cheng’s face turned red, “Maybe I didn’t take care of her very well?”

Oh man… both Xiao Yu and Guo Qiang burst into laughter.

Could it be that little brother has some unspeakable secret?

“What do you mean?” Xiao Yu feigned ignorance.

Driving aside as usual.

After all, it wasn’t exactly appropriate for a master and disciple to discuss such matters.

“You know what I mean,” Wang Cheng said, his eyes pleading.

Me Dong De? I’m still Dong Xiao Wan… Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Are you being mocked for your lightning-fast performance in nature’s call?”

Wang Cheng: (￣□￣)

What did the master say?

“Sigh.”

Xiao Yu sighed, “So… are you saying your performance is short-lived?”

Wang Cheng’s breath caught as he felt publicly humiliated, mocked, and subtly insulted, overwhelmed by immense shame.

His face flushed red, blood rushing to his skin as he wished he could vanish into the ground.

In his awkward state, his toes curled tightly, his whole body tensed, and he swayed as if the world had turned dull and colorless…

“We… we… it was only our first time.”

Wang Cheng’s face turned as red as a boiled crayfish.

“Damn!”

Xiao Yu covered his mouth to stifle his laughter.

Guo Qiang, driving, nearly steered the car into the curb, laughing uncontrollably.

What the hell are you blabbering about on your first time?

It’s just like playing a game.

Give you a Wan’er: the first time, you managed to fly, huh?

This protégé is so cheeky—why on earth are you wearing Pinru’s clothes?

Xiao Yu muttered in his heart, too lazy to bother with his hapless disciple.

At that moment, a police car had already parked in the Hospital’s lot.

Let the investigation begin!
