My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2071: Out of Time

But at that time, seeing her still sleeping deeply and thinking there was still time, I let her sleep a little longer.

So now it’s nine o’clock; I can’t delay any longer, Madam Aisha called her to get up.

But after calling a few times, there was no response.

"Did the child not sleep well last night, that she sleeps so deeply?" Madam Aisha was a bit surprised, walked to the bedside, and patted Yiyi’s shoulder, "Yiyi, get up quickly, if you don’t, you’ll be late."

But Yiyi showed no reaction, her eyes still tightly shut, sleeping soundly.

Madam Aisha felt something was wrong, hurriedly tried harder to wake her, but no matter how she tried, Yiyi still had no response, did not wake up.

Even if Madam Aisha were slow-witted, she understood something was certainly wrong, but how could it be so coincidental at such a crucial moment?

Her heart was burning with anxiety, she ran out to find the attending physician, hoping he could think of a way to wake Yiyi up, or else, if she missed the exam, this child would surely go crazy.

Madam Aisha had always witnessed this child’s hard work, knowing how important this exam was to Yiyi, and if she lost this opportunity inexplicably, it would be completely unacceptable.

...

Military conference room, it’s rare to have free time today.

Because knowledge is power, the source of human progress, this is the consensus of the times, so even in the midst of civil war, the Queen Faction and the Councilman Faction reached an agreement; today is a truce, no military action is allowed by either side, to provide a calm testing environment for the future elites of the Aus Empire.

Ling Kong was also granted a rare leave, able to relax for a change.

Recently, he has been busy deploying the frontline and battling the Queen Faction, so busy that he barely touches the ground, which is really tiring, yet there are still some troublesome people always meddling, seeking power, attacking each other, depleting internal strength rather than focusing outward.

He also understands that wherever there is power, struggles are inevitable, everyone wants to seize this opportunity to climb higher, displaying all sorts of ugly postures.

However, watching coldly, he finds himself somewhat weary. Contrary to outsiders’ beliefs about his enthusiasm for power, he often sees it more as a responsibility, a way to repay the Helian couple for their kindness in adopting him.

Yet most people would not believe this.

He somewhat misses the tranquil and leisurely days, but not too much; upon careful thought, it’s basically useless because being in the Helian Family means constantly being in a politically tense environment.

Only those days spent with a certain person made him feel relaxed, able to forget the oppression of the big family.

A certain person, huh...

His fingers gently tapped on the tabletop, his thoughts somewhat scattered.

That day, at the school, he sent someone to attack her, to test her reaction, and then recorded the entire fight on video.

To say the least, her fighting style felt very familiar to him, even some moves, before she executed them, he could predict what she was going to do.

He didn’t believe this was a coincidence; from the start, he felt a sense of familiarity with her.

Being with her wasn’t a love at first sight; it was just a subtle feeling of familiarity that made him irresistibly drawn to her, as if being with her was naturally right, no need to experience emotional turmoil to instinctively decide to become a couple.

Isn’t that strange?

It’s like something destined by fate.

The feelings of closeness and affection seemed so natural, naturally like a long-married couple who had been through everything, perhaps not without reason, now he wants to find the reason behind it.
