Yuan Hexiao, who was originally 1.87 meters tall, now squatted beside Su Yanke. He tilted his head and leaned on her leg, looking up at her with a wronged look in his eyes. Su Yanke's heart was instantly filled with a sense of guilt.
Su Yanke reflected on herself in her heart. Had she really gone too far?
She completely failed to notice the smug curve of Yuan Hexiao's mouth and the sly look in his eyes.
Agent Liu, standing nearby, shook his head and sighed. It was all over. This little ancestor was probably doomed to be in Yuan the Fox's palm for the rest of her life.
Su Yanke was originally puzzled as to why Yuan Hexiao would ask about this. It wasn't until she took out her phone and went online that she found out the reason!
As soon as Su Yanke got online, her phone started ringing non - stop as if it had been infected with a virus. Her account was filled with private messages, and many people had @ her on the message board.
@Su Yanke, is this true? Little cutie, are you really together with Yuan Shiling!?
Yuan Hexiao's identity in this world was very special. First of all, his background was mysterious, and no one had ever been able to dig it out. Secondly, his status was also very special. The national leaders were extremely respectful when they met him. Every time there was a thorny issue in the country, Yuan Hexiao's figure could always be seen.
After that, the problem would be quickly solved. As this happened more often, people gradually subconsciously felt Yuan Hexiao's uniqueness and a strong sense of security.
Now their guardian had a girlfriend, and this girlfriend was Su Yanke, whom everyone was familiar with. Su Yanke herself was extremely popular. Almost as soon as Yuan Hexiao made their relationship public, the internet crashed three times.
It was only with the country's reinforced network that it finally stabilized.
"It's true. We're together!"
Su Yanke sent this message right under Yuan Hexiao's nose. The next second, Yuan Hexiao leaned forward, wrapped his arms around Su Yanke, and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"A Yan."
"A Yan, I'm so happy!"
"A Yan..."
Su Yanke: …
Su Yanke originally felt a bit disgusted by Yuan Hexiao's "cheesiness", but when she saw a hint of insecurity in his eyes, her heart ached.
It seemed that her shyness had given Yuan Hexiao a lot of insecurity. When she first met Yuan Hexiao, he was so proud and confident. But because of her, he was so cautious when it came to this relationship.
"Idiot, we're a couple. You don't have to be so cautious, okay?"
Su Yanke's voice was extremely gentle. Yuan Hexiao stared blankly at her, then suddenly pulled Su Yanke into his arms.
Just as the situation was about to develop in an inappropriate direction, Agent Liu coughed loudly to remind them that he was still there. They should restrain themselves!
Yuan Hexiao, afraid that Su Yanke would be too embarrassed, managed to control his emotions and let go of her.
Su Yanke's face was already bright red. She kept her head down the whole time and didn't dare to look around.
Just as the atmosphere started to get awkward, a phone call came in.
Agent Liu breathed a sigh of relief. This phone call came just in time!
"Okay, okay. Let us discuss it first and we'll give you a reply later, okay? Alright, that's it. Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Agent Liu looked at Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao, hesitating to speak.
Su Yanke asked, "What's up?"
Agent Liu said, "It was a national - level leader who called. The country is now investing in environmental construction. There's a program, but because of its low ratings, almost no one watches it. They want to invite you to be a long - term guest on this program."
Agent Liu paused for a moment and then said, "You've been through a lot recently. I originally planned to let you take a break for a while and make further plans after you've adjusted your state. But the reason I didn't reject immediately is that you once said you wanted to participate in a variety show that would take you around the world. The previous variety show was too entertaining, and there wasn't enough time to really get to know the local areas. But this state - supported program just meets your requirements. Now I'd like to hear your thoughts."
After hearing this, Su Yanke was initially very happy. But when she noticed Yuan Hexiao's look at her, she suddenly felt a bit torn.
"A Xiao, I want to go..."
Yuan Hexiao didn't say a word, but his grip on Su Yanke's hand tightened.
Yuan Hexiao was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he also knew that Su Yanke had her own mission. The recent disappearance incident was enough to show the danger of that bronze coin. If they let it go, and those people behind it managed to collect them all, no one knew what would happen.
Moreover, there was something Yuan Hexiao had never dared to tell Su Yanke. For some time, no, ever since the day she reappeared after her disappearance, his mind had been a bit unclear. This had happened more and more frequently recently. He was afraid that one day he would lose control, especially afraid that he would lose control in front of Su Yanke and do something he couldn't bear.
Seeing Yuan Hexiao's silence, Su Yanke's heart ached. Just as the balance in her heart tilted towards Yuan Hexiao, thinking that there would surely be other opportunities in the future and that she should be selfish just this once and accompany Yuan Hexiao during this time to help him regain his confidence and pride, Yuan Hexiao's words disrupted all her plans.
Yuan Hexiao said, "Go. I'll always be here. Don't worry about me. I'll be your strongest backup."
Yuan Hexiao's voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "I don't want to hold you back. I don't want to be a burden on your way forward..."
Su Yanke quickly interrupted him, "You're not. You've never been a burden to me. You're very important. You're my irreplaceable, He He!"
Yuan Hexiao, who had never shed a tear in all these years, had lost count of how many times he had cried since he met Su Yanke.
With red eyes, Yuan Hexiao looked at Su Yanke and choked with sobs.
He could only hold Su Yanke tightly in his arms. This embrace contained too many emotions.
After Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao reached an agreement, Agent Liu replied to the person. Finally, they set the time to go to the largest Yingtan Desert in the motherland the afternoon after tomorrow.
During this period, after Agent Liu left Su Yanke's house, Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao were inseparable all day long. These days were the freest and happiest days for the two of them.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Su Yanke's head. She lifted her chin and looked at Yuan Hexiao. "He He."
Yuan Hexiao stopped cutting the vegetables in his hand, turned around, and looked at Su Yanke in the same way. "I'm here. What's up?"
"I want to raise a cat in the future. You can raise a dog. Then we'll live like this for the rest of our lives. How about it?"
"Okay. For the rest of our lives. I won't break my promise!"
Happy time always flew by quickly. When it was time to set off, Yuan Hexiao had packed Su Yanke's luggage early in the morning. After personally seeing Su Yanke onto the plane, he still stared at the place where Su Yanke was. He didn't leave the airport with a lonely and dejected back until the plane Su Yanke was on completely disappeared into the sky.
It was time for him to deal with some pests. They had been getting too bold recently.
In the following days, the capital city was extremely "well - behaved". Everyone could feel an unusual atmosphere spreading in the city. There were always some people who were inexplicably demoted or simply disappeared.
Everyone was in a state of panic. Especially when they noticed a common point, that is, these people had all offended Su Yanke to some extent.
Previously, some people had reported this situation to the higher - ups, suspecting that someone was standing up for Su Yanke. But in the end, there was no response at all. Instead, the person who reported it disappeared.
As time went by, no one dared to provoke this anymore. Everyone tried their best not to go out until they saw news about Su Yanke on the internet again.
State - supported Program: "@Su Yanke, welcome to our big family. Cheer for the country's construction!"
"Ah! The little cutie is so amazing! I just checked this program. Everyone who participates in it is a person with special skills. The little cutie was invited, which means her excellence can no longer be hidden!"
"Humph, isn't she just a walking traffic star? Excellent? I think it's just for show!"
"Hey, there are always people who are jealous of our little cutie. I can smell the sourness through the screen."
"Great! Because of that Ruo Kenuo incident, that variety show was taken off the air halfway through. I was depressed for a long time. I didn't expect to be able to see Su Yanke's new variety show! So happy!!"
"And there's good news. I found that this variety show is different from the previous ones. It's a live broadcast throughout! That means we can wait to watch the little cutie tomorrow!!"
Su Yanke didn't know any of this. Since she couldn't go online on the plane, she could only look at the illustration map of the destination.
The destination this time was the Yingtan Desert. Why was there a "tan" (pool) in the name of a desert? It was because of a legend from a long time ago.
It was said that there used to be a divine pool of water bestowed by a mountain god in the Yingtan Desert a long time ago. It was extremely rare to have water in a desert, not to mention a large pool of water that never moved or dried up.
But for some unknown reason, people could no longer find that pool of water. It was as if it had been taken back by the gods. It disappeared very suddenly. By the time people realized it, it was already gone, leaving no trace behind.
"Why is there an 'ying' (eagle) in the name?"
Su Yanke had been looking at the illustration map, but obviously Agent Liu's explanation was more interesting. So she stopped looking at the map and directly asked Agent Liu.
Agent Liu obviously hadn't felt his own value for a long time. Since he became Su Yanke's agent, he had hardly been of any use. When there were negative comments on the internet, her die - hard fans would take care of them before he could even do anything.
She wasn't allowed to be accompanied by an agent when participating in variety shows. He could tolerate all these things. But he couldn't even be a personal assistant to Su Yanke because Yuan Hexiao had already arranged everything properly.
