Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1119: Not Allowed to Use Nicknames

Their original target was not Meng Xinian and his group, but the Sentinel Post; they wanted to take down the entire Sentinel Post.

Who would have thought that they would run into Gong Xinhe? Knowing that a squad of elite Supervisor Guards was already rushing toward them, Yiwa changed her mind immediately, deciding to earn their trust first and then kill them off.

To her surprise, she was seen through by Meng Xinian straight away.

Meng Xinian sent someone to escort Yiwa to the Sentinel Post, asking them to send her down the mountain first while he continued to search for the others with his team.

He had already asked all he needed to know from Yiwa. The problem was those people were very cautious and cunning, having agreed not to contact each other for three days as a precaution.

Therefore, Yiwa truly did not know where they had moved to during these three days and had to wait for their signal when the time came.

Now, Meng Xinian and his group were waiting for the signal.

Jin Xiaomiao was supposed to be sent to the Sentinel Post too, but she insisted on following them, saying she was worried about her brother.

Disallowing her was useless; she followed them secretly, which was even more dangerous.

Meng Xinian then tasked Gong Xinhe with keeping an eye on her.

”Officer Meng, please eat,” said Jin Xiaomiao with a flushed face, pointing at his mouth, ”your lips are all chapped...”

In these mountains, many sources of water were undrinkable due to the abundance of poisonous insects, likely teeming with their eggs.

So they could only collect rainwater to drink when it rained.

Meng Xinian’s face was taut as he took the few stalks of grass from Jin Xiaomiao’s hand.

Jin Xiaomiao beamed with delight, a sweet and joyful smile spreading across her face.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xinian called out ”Gangzi” and tossed the few stalks to Dai Gang. ”Split these among you and eat,” he said.

”Thank you, Miss Xiaomiao!” Dai Gang caught them promptly, biting one himself and distributing the rest to his fellow brothers, bowing politely to Jin Xiaomiao in the air.

Jin Xiaomiao blushed, hung her head, and said softly, ”Officer Meng, I, I’ll go find you some more...”

”Gong Dai!” Meng Xinian stood up abruptly.

”Here!” Gong Xinhe emerged from nearby.

”Follow her, don’t let her wander around!”

”Yes!” Gong Xinhe saluted very seriously and immediately jogged over to Jin Xiaomiao’s side.

As Meng Xinian strode away, Jin Xiaomiao’s eyes began to redden slightly.

Seeing this, Gong Xinhe said in a low voice, ”Ah, Miss Xiaomiao, don’t bother our Officer anymore; he’s been in a bad mood lately!”

”Why is that?”

”How would I know why? Anyway, he’s just in a bad mood.”

”Right, Elder Brother Gong, I told you guys to call me by my nickname, why don’t you all call me that? Hearing you call me Miss Xiaomiao feels strange.”

”The Officer won’t allow it,” Gong Xinhe scratched the back of his head.

”Why not?”

Gong Xinhe’s face was a picture of misery.

How could he know why?

He really didn’t know!

In any case, after Jin Xiaomiao asked them to call her Kitten, he had called her that once and the Officer heard him. Those glares were sharp enough to slice him into duck slivers.

Moreover, the Officer had warned him that if he dared to do that again, he would be transferred to this Sentinel Post to stay for three years.

Goodness.

Who would dare to call her that anymore?

”Don’t go asking him why. Our only wish now is to catch those people quickly and go back home.”

Jin Xiaomiao murmured, ”But I don’t want you all to go back...”

”What?” Gong Xinhe hadn’t heard her clearly.

”No, nothing,” Jin Xiaomiao quickly shook her head.

Just then, a bird’s call suddenly resonated not far ahead.

Meng Xinian’s expression tightened as he raised his hand.

”Move out!”

The people had finally appeared!
