My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 638 - 215 Winter Vacation_2

Chen Yin left last night, and it’s only been about ten hours since. Clearly, Miao Miao’s absent-minded expression just now was one of missing someone. Du Xixi, having been through similar experiences herself, could easily tell who Miao Miao was missing. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Du Xixi: Sigh, a young girl in love~

Ke Xing and his grandkids were in the hovercar behind, so only Du Xixi and Miao Miao were present here. Miao Miao blushed a little, but she wasn’t too shy to speak in front of Du Xixi. She averted her gaze with a shy smile and admitted, "Yeah, I do miss him quite a bit. It’s only been a few hours... It’s so strange."

"Silly girl." A girl awakened to love always has so many thoughts, missing him one minute and then feeling it’s strange the next. Du Xixi, used to this, patted her shoulder with a tone filled with understanding and consolation, "You’re truly in love with him. Love is strange like that."

When Du Xixi first started liking Ke Lian, she felt the same way. She wanted to be with Ke Lian, wanted him by her side, missed him when he was at work, and thought of him when he was on the battlefield. Sometimes, when Ke Lian stayed up late working in the study, Du Xixi would sneak a peek or just curl up on the sofa in the study until he finished.

Ah, those little thoughts during the honeymoon phase, Du Xixi gets it!

Once they arrived at the Ke Family, Du Xixi and the others got out of the car, but Miao Miao went straight to the Imperial Palace in the hovercar. Conveniently, it was Jia Yi who transformed into the hovercar, so they could escort Miao Miao back in the evening.

Outside the Ke Family’s gate, Du Xixi and Ke Xing each held a child’s hand. Ke Xing noticed Du Xixi’s gaze following the hovercar and smiled warmly, then teased, "Aren’t you worried Your Majesty won’t let go and ’detain’ Miao Miao at the Imperial Palace? If things progress too far, don’t regret it later."

Ke Xing did feel that Du Xixi was perhaps too trusting of Chen Yin, letting Miao Miao go to Chen Yin’s "den" without a word of caution—that place was the Imperial Palace, filled with Chen Yin’s influence. If he intended anything towards Miao Miao, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

Would Jia Yi dare to defy Chen Yin’s orders?

Du Xixi chuckled lightly, feeling a cold breeze pass by. She gathered everyone back inside the house and walked alongside, saying, "I trust my brother’s character. He’s a rational person, not a..."

Du Xixi thought of those reports on Blue Star about scoundrels deceiving women and sneered with disdain. Chen Yin wasn’t some animal acting on base instincts; he truly respected the one he loved. Even if Miao Miao gave her consent, Chen Yin would definitely wait for marriage.

Ke Xing knew Du Xixi wouldn’t speak too plainly in his presence. Even as family, some things need discretion. Yet, Ke Xing understood quite well in his heart.

Chen Yin was indeed a gentleman. Ke Xing, having watched him grow, felt confident in this regard. Miao Miao should be safe at the Imperial Palace; Chen Yin wouldn’t overstep any boundaries.

To block the cold wind, the door was left slightly ajar. Once inside, Du Xixi and the rest settled on the sofa. Recently, there were continuous victories from the front lines, which meant Ke Lian finally had some downtime. It was a perfect moment for the family to catch up with him over a video call.

"Ke Lian! Can you see us? We really miss you!"

On the other end, though Ke Lian looked a bit travel-worn, his spirits were high. Mo Feng occasionally peeked over his shoulders to catch Du Xixi and the others’ attention.

"I can see you all, and I miss you too."

Outside, the wind howled incessantly, the "wooshing" an assault on the ears. Yet, despite the distance, their words of care came through clearly, making the wind noise seem insignificant.

The weather will warm up, and everyone will reunite.

Time quickly passed, and it was suddenly the last day of the semester. Du Xixi, dressed warmly, accompanied the Food Department’s teachers and students to the auditorium—Blue Star University’s closing ceremony would take place here, with every teacher and student having a seat. Du Xixi didn’t have to watch the live stream remotely due to health reasons anymore.

Seats for each department were arranged by the location of their respective school buildings. For example, the Food Department was originally positioned between the Military Department and Ancient History Department, with the Architecture Department behind and the Art Department in front. However, now that the Military Department was closed, it was replaced by Political Economy students and teachers.
