She felt a pinch in her heart as she reached for her card and tried to hand it over.

That was when she heard Mu Xichen say, “Here.”

The waiter took his card. “Please wait a moment.”

Li Beinian was shocked. “Didn’t we agree that this was my treat?”

“Next time.” Mu Xichen took a sip of the tea and got up. “Let’s go.”

Li Beinian hurriedly followed suit. “Hold up, I’m not treating you to something this expensive the next time.”

Mu Xichen casually glanced at her. “That’s fine, we can eat something else.”

Li Beinian felt as if there was some subtext to his words.

But Mu Xichen acted as if it was all normal.

Was she thinking too much again?

After settling the bill, Mu Xichen and Li Beinian left and saw the military-green Hummer in the distance.

Gu Mingye rolled down the car windows. “Aye, what a coincidence. Get on.”

Li Beinian shot him a look of disdain.

Coincidence?

As if she’d believe him!

Mu Xichen opened the car door but stood still. He turned towards Li Beinian.

Li Beinian was taken aback. “W-What?”

“Get in.” His tone was calm as usual.

“No need, I’ll just take a ca—”

“Get in.” Mu Xichen repeated.

Li Beinian kept quiet.

She just had to be obedient after having a meal on him!

Once she was in the car, Li Beinian sat on the far side and looked out the window.

The weather wasn’t terribly good that day. The clouds were dark and heavy and oddly oppressing.

In the car, Gu Mingye was listening to the radio, and expectedly the military new.

Li Beinian was lost in thoughts while listening to the background radio noise. But something suddenly came to mind.

Mu Xichen seemed to have been involved in some sensational news in her previous life!

Mu Xichen was sent on a special mission, but Li Beinian had no idea what it was specifically.

It was on that mission that Mu Xichen got seriously injured due to a blast. His right leg was almost paralyzed.

The mission was successful, and subsequently, they announced the retreat of their army.

But for some reason, the person who should’ve been hailed a hero had been executed, shocking everyone.

She turned around to look at Mu Xichen. The man sitting on that very seat had his eyes closed, his features strong and deep, but appeared all too gentle in the warm light spilling through the window.

He seemed like a sculpture that God had gifted the human race—so quietly beautiful, so perfect and exquisite.

This man had had to come to such an end...

What a pity.

Li Beinian wanted to remind him of it, but she couldn’t find the words.

She hesitated for a few moments and eventually decided to keep it in.

The journey was pretty short. Li Beinian alighted and walked towards the Li household.

Li Beinian had finally left the house!

Li Xueqing found the keys to her room and tiptoed in.

But after ruffling through her items, all she saw was a pile of mock test papers and revision materials.

Mu Xueqing went through it casually and found that Li Beinian had completed most of the questions.

Besides that, there were also draft papers around, scribbled with different solutions.

Li Xueqing flipped through everything she could find but found nothing.

“How is it possible!”

Li Xueqing couldn’t take it lying down. She grabbed the neatly-arranged duvet cover and pulled it aside.

Finally, under the pillow, she found a white-covered booklet.

The script for “Nine Spies”.
