Since the matter of choosing a tutor, Hawke has seldom let her participate in the management of children. Hawke would get into trouble with her whenever she wanted contact.
Later Zheng Xiyao gave up.
After all, I won't stay in this world for long, so it's better not to get involved too deeply.
This is the best outcome for everyone.
Time flies in circles, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Just when Zheng Xiyao was distracted, the system's voice suddenly sounded: [Host, our time is up. 】System reminder.
【So fast? 】
【It has been ten years. ] The system kept operating the device on hand, and after a while it continued to say [The points you have accumulated in this world have met the conditions for leaving, and we can leave at any time. 】
Zheng Xiyao was silent.
【Host? 】
After a long while, she leaned back on the chair and replied calmly: [Okay. Let's get ready and leave. 】
Zheng Xiyao was going to think of a reason before leaving this world, a reason that everyone could accept.
At this time, Hawke came over in a hurry and stopped her, "Yao Yao, there is an enemy attack on the base planet."
"What?"
"Arthur and Hunter were trapped. We suffered heavy losses this time. This time I will personally go to the front line to take command." Hawke murmured in her ear.
"How could this happen?" Zheng Xiyao was puzzled. Ten years of peaceful life were broken like this. She was a little worried, "How are Freya and Lan Yin doing?"
"This is what I want to tell you, Freya and Lan Yin leave it to you." Hawke held her shoulders and stared at her, his eyebrows filled with sadness.
Zheng Xiyao was shocked. It seemed that the situation was more serious than she imagined.
Hawke set out overnight and left before he could say goodbye to the children. After he left, Zheng Xiyao took Fei Yang and Niannian to visit Freya.
"Do you remember what you are going to do later?" Zheng Xiyao solemnly took the hands of the two children and asked.
"I know. When I see my godmother at her house later, I'll give her the snack we made." Fei Yang nodded and answered seriously.
Zheng Xiyao looked at the girl aside: "What about you, Nian Nian?"
"Mom, I know how to coax my godmother, don't worry." Nian Nian looked proud, her eyes rolling around, obviously thinking of something.
They came to Freya's residence, which was a quiet villa.
The person who came to greet them was Freya's agent.
A trace of worry flashed in Zheng Xiyao's eyes. Usually, whenever they came, Freya would greet them personally.
"How is she?" Zheng Xiyao asked.
"It's not good. I haven't eaten for two days. I just vomited." The agent replied.
Zheng Xiyao quickened his pace. After seeing her for just a few days, Freya was no longer the high-spirited, noble and elegant goddess. Her hair was not washed, her clothes were dirty, and her whole person was unkempt.
"Godmother, this is a snack made by Niannian and I for you to eat."
Freya's absent-minded eyes gradually focused on Fei Yang. When she saw the food box handed over by the young man, she reluctantly took it with a smile: "Thank you, Yangyang." If she hadn't seen her standing here properly, Zheng Xiyao would have heard Freya's weak voice almost thought she was going to take the first step.
I thought that Freya would receive them more or less like a hostess, but she just put the food box aside and continued to be in a daze.
Zheng Xiyao: "..."
Zheng Xiyao: "Niannian went and picked up a few cups, and Yangyang boiled some water." She arranged for her two children to do their work.
Seeing that all the children were gone, Zheng Xiyao approached Freya who was acting like a puppet, grabbed her neck and said coldly: "What's the matter, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and you still play with me to hurt the spring and autumn."
Zheng Xiyao forced Freya to look up. When she saw the mist in Freya's eyes, she couldn't help but trembled in her heart, and finally sighed: "What's the use of being like this? Why are you planning to do this to yourself if Arthur doesn't come back?" When he comes back, will he collect his body for you?"
"Woo!"
Zheng Xiyao didn't know which of her words stimulated her, but a woman in her thirties hugged her and cried.
She originally let the woman hold her and cry, but when she saw her soaked clothes, she pushed the sobbing woman away with disgust.
"Okay, your husband is not dead yet." She handed Freya some tissues and continued: "Besides, this time Hawke went in person, I think they will be fine."
"Hawk went too?":
"right."
"How could it be? It's exactly what that person said." Freya muttered to herself absentmindedly, holding the tissue in her hand.
"Who? What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing." Freya's eyes dodge, making Zheng Xiyao even more suspicious. But Freya had just calmed down, and it was hard for her to continue asking.
"Go take a shower and clean yourself up first." Zheng Xiyao ordered directly.
"but I……"
"Go now." Zheng Xiyao looked at the woman calmly, with an unquestionable look in her eyes.
Seeing this, Freya went to take a bath obediently.
Zheng Xiyao called her agent and discussed ordering lunch.
After struggling for a while, she first sat on the sofa and looked at the intimate and harmonious wedding photos of Freya and Arthur on the wall. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. They had been married for a year, and they had been going around for so many years before they got together. Now they are separated at the sweetest time, no wonder Freya couldn't accept it and almost collapsed.
"This is because he lost in a game and was punished with lemons. You see the way he winked. It's funny even now." The woman behind her said in a brisk tone, as if she was in the scene at that time.
"So that's it, I thought he disliked you?" Zheng Xiyao pointed to the photo, where the woman held the man's face and kissed her, while the man's eyes flashed with complicated emotions.
"Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of the situation?"
"Oh, aren't you?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became more relaxed in an instant.
"So, now let's talk about how you, a big star in the federal entertainment industry, became depressed because of an uncertain news?"
"Okay, don't make fun of me." Freya sat aside, picked up an apple and gnawed it. "If Hawke was on the battlefield and his life was reported to be in danger, I don't believe you would sit here safely. .”
Zheng Xiyao smiled softly and looked directly at Freya, "Of course I will."
"Oh, then I really don't deserve it for Hawke, marrying such a heartless woman like you."
"Because I simply don't believe that he will have such a problem." Zheng Xiyao murmured. After all, he is also a male protagonist. How could he die on the battlefield so easily? The world still needs him.
"Okay, stop showing off your affection in front of me." She threw away the apple core and picked up the leftover bread on the table.
"Wait for dinner, I asked Aya to order lunch." Zheng Xiyao snatched the face from Freya's hand, smelled it, frowned and said, "It's cold, so I won't eat."
Freya spread out on the sofa, staring at Zheng Xiyao who was cleaning up with a soft expression, and said slowly: "Yaoyao, you really look like my mother."
"Come on, I don't have a troublesome daughter like you. It's better to have Nian Nian in our family. Look how good she is."
"Yes, your family Nian Nian is the best. I like her too." She smiled and replied sadly, "So, you won't leave them, right?"
Zheng Xiyao froze and looked up at Freya with slight surprise in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiyao put down the things in her hands.
Freya said nothing more.
"Just now you said someone said something to you. Who is he?" Zheng Xiyao sensed something keenly and asked cautiously.
Freya looked at Zheng Xiyao with a hint of worry. After hesitating for a few minutes, she said, "Actually, I received a phone call before the military department notified Arthur of the accident."
"What?"
"There is a man. He said that Arthur's life is in danger now. If I want to save him, I must promise him something."
"Is this related to me?" Zheng Xiyao guessed.
"Yes." Freya admired Zheng Xiyao's agility.
"What is he going to do?" Zheng Xiyao's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.
"He asked me to take you to the 'base star'."
Zheng Xiyao was silent. She didn't expect that this person's request was just this.
"I originally thought it was a prank, so I hung up on him. Later, when I received a notification from the military department, I found out that what the man said was true. I called back, but there was only a busy signal. I asked someone to check, but it turned out that someone from the Ministry of Communications The result of the investigation was that no one had used this number."
Freya hugged herself with trembling hands, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes. Zheng Xiyao patted the woman's shoulder to comfort her.
"The food is here." Manager Aya interrupted the two of them with lunch.
"Oh! It's time to eat, I've been hungry for a long time." Niannian was the first to bear the brunt, jumping out and shouting. Fei Yang, who was not in a hurry, was followed behind him.
"Speaking of dinner, you guys showed up. What have you been doing for so long?" Zheng Xiyao asked.
"Niannian and I don't dare to interrupt you while you are talking about business with your godmother. Mom, look at how considerate we are, are we sensible?" Fei Yang asked Zheng Xiyao for praise like a brat.
"Hahaha."
"Look, your godmother is laughing out loud." Zheng Xiyao pointed her index finger at Fei Yang's forehead.
"Brother Yang, look, mom said you made your godmother angry." Nian Nian gloated from the sidelines.
"Come on, why are you laughing so angry? I'm just happy." Freya pushed Zheng Xiyao who interrupted, pulled the two children over, and praised them.
Zheng Xiyao didn't even want to look, but she was relieved when she saw that Freya was no longer afraid.
"Ding dong, Lan Yin is here to visit." The voice of the housekeeping robot interrupted the noisy lunch.
Zheng Xiyao and Freya looked at each other.
At this time, Lan Yin had already entered the door.
"Friya, I also received that call." Before anyone could see it, Zheng Xiyao had already heard the woman's panicked voice.
Until Lan Yin saw that Zheng Xiyao was also present and stood there blankly.
Zheng Xiyao looked at Lan Yin thoughtfully and asked curiously: "Did you also receive a threatening call from a mysterious man?"
When Lan Yin heard this, she first looked at Freya. When Freya nodded, she spoke:
"right."
"It seems like this person has a grudge against me."
