In the car.
"How was today?" Jing Mo Chen asked.
"Very fun and exciting!"
"I"m glad you had fun," Jing Mo Chen replied as he took Mo Xi"s hand and interlocked their fingers.
"I think I can strengthen their skills and improve their weaknesses." Mo Xi said seriously as she looked at Jing Mo Chen.
Mo Xi knew that this war against Poker would mean the whole military would be involved again like in the past. She doesn"t want any of the innocent people to be hurt in this war, but injuries were inevitable, so the only thing she could do was to help them reduce the chances of their injuries.
"I know. They are at their bottlenecks and I can"t help them anymore. That was why I got you here as well. However, I have one condition."
"What is it?"
"Your safety is number one."
"Ok, I promise you. However, the condition for this condition is that unless necessary, I would not put myself in danger."
Jing Mo Chen knew that he can"t argue against Mo Xi about this because he was just like Mo Xi.
"Ok…"
On the way home, Mo Xi fell asleep and Jing Mo Chen carried her up to the bedroom when they reached home. The moment Jing Mo Chen wanted to put Mo Xi down on the bed, Mo Xi woke up.
"I haven"t bathe yet…" Mo Xi spoke with a sleepy tone.
"But you are tired…"
"But I am dirty…"
"If not, I help you bathe?"
Mo Xi"s eyes sprang open when she heard that.
"No! No! No! I am awake already!" Mo Xi said hurriedly as she dashed to the washroom with her face beet red.
Jing Mo Chen laughed while he looked at Mo Xi escaping.
Next day
"Let"s go warm up!" Mo Xi said when she saw the three men.
"Ok. Let"s go running," Zhan Bo Cheng replied.
"Brother Cheng, wait!" Mo Xi stopped Zhan Bo Cheng.
"What?"
"Let"s all wear these when we run," Mo Xi said as she handed out some ankle weights and weighted vest to each of them.
Ji Zheng Yang took the things from Mo Xi and put them on immediately.
On the other hand, Zhan Bo Cheng and Qin Feng looked at Mo Xi questioningly.
Mo Xi didn"t know how to explain without exposing her intentions, so she kept quiet for a moment before saying, "Just for fun! HAHAHAHA!" and she started running after she put on the weights.
"Just put on." Ji Zheng Yang said to Qin Feng and Zhan Bo Cheng and started to follow Mo Xi.
Hearing that, Qin Feng and Zhan Bo Cheng just put on the weights and joined the run.
15 minutes later.
"Little Xu… Please slow down…" Zhan Bo Cheng was panting while he ran.
"Little rascal… How could you run so fast with those weights?!" Qin Feng stopped and bent down as he breathed deeply.
Despite their rants, they still finished their run. On the other hand, Ji Zheng Yang ran quietly.
Mo Xi was worried that she was being too harsh on them and it might not cause them health problems, so she secretly grabbed their hands one by one to feel their pulse.
After feeling their pulse, Mo Xi sighed in relief as they were all fine.
"Let"s move on to fighting now!" Mo Xi said after they finished resting.
In the fighting arena.
"Brother Cheng, let"s start with you."
Zhan Bo Cheng was still a bit scarred from the fighting experience with Mo Xi yesterday, so he was slightly hesitant about it.
"… Ok…"
"Let"s wear this when we fight," Mo Xi said as she handed wrist weights to the three men.
"You want to wear all these weights while fighting?!" Zhan Bo Cheng asked in shock as he looked at the ankle weights, wrist weights, and weighted vests.
"Mm."
Zhan Bo Cheng and Qin Feng wanted to protest but Ji Zheng Yang stopped them once again and told them to put it on as well.
Zhan Bo Cheng"s weakness lies with his skills, so Mo Xi pointed out his mistakes as they fought and told him how to improve.
Qin Feng"s weakness lies with his speed and power, which was one of the reasons why Mo Xi made all of them wore weights so that it won"t be so obvious.
"I"m dead beat today…"
"Me too…"
Zhan Bo Cheng and Qin Feng said after they finished fighting.
"Brother Yang, let"s start," Mo Xi said to Ji Zheng Yang before they both got into positions.
During the fight, Mo Xi deliberately used different kinds of moves to let Ji Zheng Yang mimic them.
After fighting, they moved on to shoot.
Qin Feng was already very skilled in shooting, hence Mo Xi challenged him to shoot at moving targets. On the other hand, Ji Zheng Yang and Zhan Bo Cheng weren"t as good as Qin Feng, hence Mo Xi corrected their aims secretly.
At the end of the day, Zhan Bo Cheng and Qin Feng were all dead beat.
Jing Mo Chen started to stay in the military, so Mo Xi went to his room to find him.
"Are you tired?" Mo Xi asked as she ma.s.saged Jing Mo Chen"s shoulders.
"I was, but I am charged up now that I see you." Jing Mo Chen said as he grabbed onto Mo Xi"s hands and pulled her to sit on his laps.
Mo Xi kissed Jing Mo Chen"s eyes as she said, "Although I would love to stay here with you for longer, I have to go home soon. You have to rest early for the training tomorrow…"
"Mm…" Jing Mo Chen said as he kissed Mo Xi"s forehead.
"See you soon…" Mo Xi said as she left the room reluctantly.
Mo Xi doesn"t know when the next time they meet would be, because Jing Mo Chen would only be getting busier and busier over time. In a few days, Jing Mo Chen would be uncontactable because they would be doing enclosed training and they would not be able to meet any time soon. Hence, she was really reluctant to leave the room.
