Chapter 126: How Did She Know I Was Sleeping In? (2/2)

“Ugh…” Nana swallowed a leg of the dough figurine along with some side dishes. After thinking for a moment, she turned to the dog Demi-Human beside her and said, “Hey, can you give me a bite of your Mantou?”

The dog Demi-Human happened to be the Husky Demi-Human Shen Cheng had instructed earlier in the morning. It wasn’t clear whether she heard Nana’s request, but just as Nana finished speaking, the Husky stuffed the remaining half of her Mantou into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out slightly, as if she was afraid Nana might snatch it.

Nana: “…”

After eating, Shen Cheng greeted Qian Yi and returned to the main building of the Bio-Scientific Institute to continue practicing his shooting. The day passed as usual—training under Liu Su, having dinner, and sleeping. Almost in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning when Shen Cheng opened his eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, Shen Cheng tightly closed his eyes, then opened them again. After repeating this twice, he fully woke up, feeling a slight heaviness on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

He lifted the blanket and couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he saw the scene beneath it.

Unlike the cat girl at home, who always curled up while sleeping in his bed, Xinxin was sprawled across his chest, sleeping soundly. Shen Cheng didn’t have the heart to wake her.

“Well, since it’s like this, I’ll just lie down for a bit longer,” Shen Cheng thought, finding a random excuse for himself and happily preparing to go back to sleep.

But in the next moment, the phone on his pillow rang sharply. Just as the back of his head touched the pillow, the sound jolted him awake. Xinxin also groggily opened her eyes and sat up, “Shen Cheng, what… happened?”

“It’s nothing,” Shen Cheng smiled as he rubbed Xinxin’s head. Then, he picked up the phone and saw that it was Yu Lan calling. He answered and said, “Yu Lan, why are you calling me so early?”

“Nothing, just calling to wake you up,” Yu Lan chuckled with a hint of mischief.

Shen Cheng: “…”

Hanging up the phone with a dark expression, Shen Cheng sat on the bed, staring blankly at his phone for a moment. Suddenly, he had a strange feeling.

Hmm? How did she know I was sleeping in?

…

After Xinxin finished washing up and walked out of the resting room, she headed straight to the canteen. When the two of them arrived, they saw Liu Su and others had already finished breakfast and were seated.

Shen Cheng got his breakfast and sat down. Liu Su immediately spoke up, “What happened today? Why did you wake up so late?”

“Haha… maybe I was a bit tired from yesterday,” Shen Cheng replied, somewhat guilty, as he avoided eye contact.

“Oh…” Liu Su glanced at Shen Cheng, then at Xinxin beside him, smiled faintly, and said nothing more, continuing her breakfast.

“Speaking of which…” Shen Cheng looked around the somewhat empty canteen and asked curiously, “Is it because I woke up late? Why does the canteen feel so empty today?”

“Almost all the Specialized Agents have been assigned missions, and the Information Liaison Officers have taken their breakfast back to the liaison room. We are currently in a 24-hour alert state,” Lingxue explained to Shen Cheng.

“What mission requires so many Specialized Agents to be deployed?” Shen Cheng asked in surprise.

After all, Specialized Agents usually operated individually or in small groups. Such a large-scale operation was usually carried out by the basic units of the Bio-Scientific Institute.

“Do you remember the Biological Weapon we encountered near the Shen Family’s forest?” Liu Su crossed her arms and sighed, “That incident reached the higher-ups, and they quickly issued an order for the Bio-Scientific Institute to cooperate with the military across all regions of Solmara, conducting a carpet search for all foreign organizations within Solmara. Rumor has it that the upper echelons are preparing for an open confrontation with Eryndel due to their research on Biological Weapons within Solmara.”

“Heh…” Shen Cheng chuckled lightly and took a sip of soy milk.

If it really came down to a confrontation, Eryndel would have no excuse. After all, the members of the Eryndel organization were still being held at the Bio-Scientific Institute. Once they were exposed, could Eryndel deny it?

Eryndel had truly brought this upon themselves. What a disaster of their own making!
