Chapter 230: Chapter 230 - 230 Mission Accomplished

230 Mission Accomplished

“Oh my!”

Xiaoyi slapped his head. His memory completely failed him. He had almost forgotten about such an important matter!

Hearing the commotion, Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang looked at each other. Neither of them understood what was wrong with him, so they turned to look at Xiaoyi.

Xiaoyi ran to the bed and took the bundle. After opening it, he found a letter from the pile of toys and handed it to Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo looked confused. She took it and gave Xiaoyi a look. “For me?”

Xiaoyi nodded and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her take it. The mission was complete!

After receiving a nod from Xiaoyi, Xiaoguo opened the unsigned envelope in confusion. As soon as she opened it and saw the handwriting, she knew who had written it.

Other than that person, no one else could make her feel like this. His good-looking handwriting had sent her heart beating like a wild horse.

As expected, the beginning was the same. “My dear wife, how are you…”

Feeling shy, Xiaoguo tried to get away from the two little heads that were approaching her.

She got up and went to a corner, keeping a distance from the two kids. Then, she looked at the letter again.

Xiaoyi blinked and looked at Zhuang Zhuang in confusion. “What did those words mean?”

Zhuang Zhuang looked disgusted when he heard that. “Did you not study again?”

Xiaoyi avoided Zhuang Zhuang’s gaze and retorted weakly, “…No.”

“Sigh…” Zhuang Zhuang acted all mature and held his forehead. Seeing Xiaoyi like this, he couldn’t bear to reprimand him. He could only explain to him, “The first two words refer to my wife. The remaining three words mean, hope you are reading the letter. All the words put together, it’s just a greeting.”

His voice was childlike, but every word he uttered was concise and to the point. This made Xiaoyi, his fanboy, respect him even more.

“Oh…” So that was the meaning. Xiaoyi looked enlightened.

Zhuang Zhuang tried to hold it in, but he couldn’t. “Xiaoyi, you can’t go on like this. You have to study hard. You have to study during your free time. My mother said…”

“Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zhuang, I understand. I promise that I will study hard when I get back!”

Seeing that he was going to start again, Xiaoyi quickly admitted his mistake. If he did not stop Zhuang Zhuang from nagging, it would probably be dawn by the time he finished. He could not afford to let that happen.

“Yes, yes. You’re a promising child.”

Zhuang Zhuang felt a sense of accomplishment for giving advice to a child who had gone astray, and leading him towards the right path.

Xiaoyi smiled. Zhuang Zhuang was good in every way, except for one thing. He was so young, but he loved to nag…

However, he still liked Zhuang Zhuang the most!

Xiaoguo nestled in a corner and read the letter. She didn’t know why Jiang Danhe was being so mushy. It would be better if he could speak normally. He even had to write in such a genteel manner. She felt so uncomfortable reading them—how could Zhuang Zhuang possibly read those words? To think that he could endure writing the letter.

“The letter will probably be delivered on Zhuang Zhuang’s birthday. Help me congratulate him on his special day. Although I cannot be by his side, I miss you guys day and night…”

It was a letter that consisted of two pieces of paper. Thirty percent of the content was spent on talking about Zhuang Zhuang. The rest of the letter was telling Xiaoguo how he had been, how he was feeling, and how much he missed her. The more Xiaoguo continued reading, the more embarrassed she felt. Although the words were conveyed through the letter, she felt that Jiang Danhe was whispering them into her ears. The fervent emotions in his words were about to erupt from the letter and fly to her side.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

From the minute she started reading, Xiaoguo’s toes had been digging into the soles of her shoes.

To be honest, Jiang Danhe seemed to have become a smooth-talker. Previously, she would feel shy and touched when reading his letters, but this time, it was a bit too much for her. Before she read the letter, she had never thought that love could sound so fancy. The more she read, the more she felt that it was completely unlike Jiang Danhe’s style of writing.

Just by reading the letter, no one would have imagined the writer to look like Jiang Danhe. They might imagine the writer to be a poor scholar who lived aimlessly every day.

When she saw the next sentence, all her emotions exploded.

“When I hold your sleeve and your hands, my life will be yours. We will live and die together…”

“Urgh…”

Xiaoguo was unable to control her physiological reaction—she truly felt nauseous.

“Zhuang Zhuang, what do you think the letter says?”

Xiaoyi was constantly observing the situation over at Xiaoguo’s side. From the beginning, he felt that Xiaoguo’s expression seemed strange. What was in the letter that could make someone reveal such an indescribable expression? He was in a dilemma. How was he going to describe this expression to General Jiang? It wasn’t a happy face, but it wasn’t a look of dislike either.

“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s something we can read.”

Zhuang Zhuang shook his head. Although he didn’t know what was written, from his mother’s expression, it was probably inappropriate for children.

“Why do you say that?”

Xiaoyi didn’t understand what Zhuang Zhuang meant. Why couldn’t he tell anything from her face?

Zhuang Zhuang did not speak. He looked up and gestured for him to look at Xiaoguo. Xiaoyi looked seriously at the person in the corner.

As the contents of the letter were more or less hidden, Xiaoguo felt inexplicably guilty. From time to time, she would look up and steal glances at the two children. In addition, she was feeling mentally and physically stressed by those words, so she looked a little sneaky during the whole process.

“That’s right!”

Xiaoyi had the same feeling as Zhuang Zhuang. Although he didn’t know the content, it was definitely inappropriate for children. This was undeniable.

“Are we still going to read it?”

Xiaoyi was curious. At first, he wanted to ask Zhuang Zhuang to take a peek with him. But now that they had guessed the contents, were they still going to take a look?

“Silly… Of course not!”

Zhuang Zhuang pulled Xiaoyi back to the bed. Since they already knew that it was inappropriate for children, they shouldn’t be reading it. Children should not meddle with the affairs of adults.

“Yes, I’m not going to!”

Xiaoyi sat obediently beside Zhuang Zhuang. Since they were not going to read the contents, he had to observe Xiaoguo’s expression carefully. When he returned to the palace, he had to report to General Jiang word for word. He had to keep his promise!

The two little kids looked at Xiaoguo without blinking. Xiaoguo finally endured her discomfort and finished reading the letter. Although the words were very vivid, but…

Painfully, she put the letter away and put it back in the envelope. At this moment, she only had one thought. The letter was well written, but he should not write something like this again.

Xiaoyi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her put away the letter. Fortunately, she had finished reading it. If her expressions had been any more complicated, he would have problems remembering them. He still had to memorize these few expressions for a while. If he forgot them in two days, he would be finished.

“Oh! Right!” Wen Xiaoyi was lying on the bed in his undershirt. He suddenly sat up. He had forgotten something else!

“What’s up?”

Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiaoyi, who had run out of bed and was rummaging through his bag. He got up curiously.

Clang, clang, clang…

With his hands behind his back, Xiaoyi ran to Zhuang Zhuang’s side and took out two small boxes from behind him.

“What’s this?”

“This is your father’s birthday gift to you.” Xiaoyi handed him the one on his left hand and showed him the one on his right. “This is my gift to you!”

Zhuang Zhuang took the boxes from him happily. “Thank you, Xiaoyi!”

“Open them and take a look!”

Zhuang Zhuang nodded and eagerly opened Xiaoyi’s gift first. Although he wanted to open his father’s first, it was not appropriate. After all, Xiaoyi was right in front of him, so he should unwrap his gift first.

“Wow!” Zhuang Zhuang opened the exquisite box, revealing a long tube with a strange design. “What is this?”

“This is a kaleidoscope.” Xiaoyi happily watched Zhuang Zhuang unwrap his gift to him. The kaleidoscope was also something he liked very much. “I’ll teach you how to play!”

Xiaoyi picked it up and placed it on one of Zhuang Zhuang’s eyes. “Close your other eye.”
