Chapter 16

To their disappointment, except that one question he asked before, he didn't say anything else. He just sat there, calm and relax, as if watching an entertainment show of sort.

The briefing meeting ended after receiving consent from the national team members, albeit reluctantly. The military team will bring them to the military headquarters tomorrow and they were asked to pack up their necessary items.

After the meeting adjourned, people started leaving the room, each went to do their things. Ye Xiu stood up when he saw Ye Xue started to leave as well. He trailed behind her, following her went out of the building.

It's already close to 6 p.m. and the sun has started to set. Some street lamps already started to turn on as they sensed the decreasing light at the surrounding.

When they reached the gate, she stopped walking. He stopped too.

Ye Xue turned back and looked at him, her eyes were shining brightly from the light of the lamps.

"Were you surprised?" she asked while grinning, the dimples on her cheek were showing up.

Ye Xiu couldn't help it and he pinched her cheek playfully. "More like in awe of your make up. You do look really pretty despite your 'gender'". He answered helplessly.

His eyes looked her up and down before lingering in the middle. Noticing the lack of two usual female bumps on it, he raised one of his eyebrows. "You still look pretty even with a flat chest," he commented.

Ye Xue's eyes flashed dangerously as she glared at Ye Xiu. She walked closer to him until there was only an inch apart.

"Bro, I don't recommend incest." Ye Xue hissed.

Ye Xiu smiled with amusement. "I don't think I can stomach that as well. Glad that you and I have the same perspective."

Ye Xue pouted. She was going to say something else when she noticed a pair of eyes looking at them far away from the building. She chocked her head and glanced at Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu just sent her a confused look.

" It seems like someone was watching our interaction," she said, shrugging carelessly.

Ye Xiu blinked. Well, won't that become a misunderstanding?

But on the other hand, like Ye Xue, Ye Xiu could care less about those unimportant things. So what if they misunderstood? That's their fault to judge the book by the cover.

Not a minute passes, they heard a horn sound. They turned to the source, and there they saw the military car stopping in front of the gate. Inside were seated those military team members.

"They are waiting for you, Xue." Ye Xiu commented. Ye Xue wearing her 'manly' mask back as she nodded. She turned back to look at Ye Xiu, eye to eye, still only an inch apart.

"Ah Xiu." Her face leaned closer to Ye Xiu's ear.

"Keep an eye on Rui," she whispered.

In a second, she leaned backward and walked away to the car. She watched in amusement at her coworkers' gaping jaws. Getting inside, she chuckled. "Take your jaws away from the floor. You don't mind being dirty, but I mind stepping on your saliva," she said teasingly.

"Y-you-!"

She put on her earset and turned the volume up. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the music playing on the background. Outside noise disappearing with the start of the music.

Liu Rui, who was behind the wheels, coming back to his senses. He started the car and soon drove away. Although he is still as bewilder as the others.

Ye Xiu watched the car went farther and farther. He raked his hair with a helpless expression as his mind replayed Ye Xue's word.

I'm a double spy now?

***

Inside the building, both Fang Rui and Xiao Shiqin was watching the whole interaction with a gaping jaw. It felt as if a thunderstruck them, blanking their mind.

As their position was a little bit far from Ye Xiu and Ye Xue, it made so much more misunderstanding than it already did to the military team.

Ye Xiu and Ye Xue's height didn't differ that much. From a third-person view, they seemed to be very intimate. And with Ye Xue appeared as a man called Xue Ye...

Let's just say there'll be a lot of drama in the near future.
