âYou... go kill yourself! When did I ever had a boyfriend! You are the first one! Alright, if you donât want to go in, just say that, why are you saying so many useless things!â Wu YingYing was now a little angry with me.
âAh, I was just joking!â I quickly reached my hand out and pushed open the door, entering Wu YingYingâs room.
âAh?â I looked at the room in front of me and felt inexplicable. Could I be seeing wrong? Wu YingYingâs room before me stunned me! If I didnât know this was a bedroom, I would have thought it was a toy doll store!
A large dolphin was hung with the chandelier, and the pink bed was filled with dolls, fluffy rabbits, and even a cute caterpillar!
This was just the tip of the iceberg. These fluffy toys were everywhere â on the bookshelf, on the window sill, and even on the desk! As long as you want it, you could find almost any kind here!
I had never thought that a girl with such guts and personality would ever like these sort of plush toys! Isnât this what little girls like?
Looking at my astonished appearance, Wu YingYingâs face turned red with embarrassment, âThis... this is why I donât want you to move things around heedlessly!â
âI wonât move... definitely wonât move... hehe, I never expected you had the hobby of collecting dolls!â I shook my head and said with a smile.
âThat... do you feel that I am childish...â Wu YingYing asked with her red face.
âOf course not! Something like this doesnât make one childish, itâs good to have a childâs innocence at all times. Not to mention, when we have children in the future, we wonât have to buy toys again! You can also play together with the children!â Wu YingYing said with a smile.
âWhat are you talking about?â Listening to me telling her to play with her children, Wu YingYing felt bashful.
âHehe, thereâs actually nothing, this sort of thing, every girl likes these. I was just surprised because of your personality! Zhao YanYan and the others also like these!â I explained.
âRight! You wonât be bothered by these, right?â Wu YingYing asked as she still didnât feel relieved.
âNaturally, you can bring all these back to B City with you. When putting together with YanYan and the other girlsâ stuff, you can even hold a toy expo!â I laughed.
âReally?â Wu YingYing asked happily.
âWhen have I ever fooled you!â I nodded, pointing towards the Heavenly Dolphin, âThese Fishman look good!â
âWhat Fishman, thatâs a dolphin!â Wu YingYing said, âIf the Fishman heard you treating him like a dolphin, see if he wonât turn you into a person who fades away!â
[Author Note: The above is purely a joke...{Some monthly ticket stuff.}]
Wu YingYing opened the drawer and took a map from it. Handing it over to me, she said, âThis is the one, and it is indeed very similar to the one you have!â
I received the map and looked. The map that Wu YingYing gave me was much more professionally drawn than mine! This was a formal military map. Although it was just a tracing, it was traced according to the first edition, and the proportions were much more precise compared to mine.
From the shape of the mountain range, there wasnât much difference from mine. But the location of the treasure trove on the map was indicated by a triangle.
âThis means that the treasure on the map should have disappeared?â I sighed as I looked at the map, with a feeling of depression.
âThatâs how it appears to be! This was something from more than a decade ago. Even if there was a treasure, it should have been discovered by someone!â Wu YingYing nodded, âIf you are not at ease, you can ask my father about it!â
âAsk your father? Didnât you say it was confidential? Your dad got angry at you because of this map, and you want me to ask him?â I asked strangely.
âAh, how can you be so stupid? Itâs as you said, this is a treasure map! And you also said, itâs a treasure that might have already been taken away, this is a matter from 10 years ago! This map can be nothing but ordinary! A secret map without a treasure is no secret map!â Wu YingYing said.
Right! I smacked my forehead and said, âThatâs true! It was a secret at that time, but itâs not necessary that it will still be a secret! I didnât even think of that! I will ask him lest it weighs on my heart forever! Whether there was a treasure or not, so long as I can confirm it, I will be able to feel at ease!â
âI had also thought about this matter for a lot of time yesterday! Therefore, thereâs no need for you to be embarrassed!â Wu YingYing said.
I realized that every time Wu YingYing analyzed a matter, she would be very systematic and clear about it. Her calm and brilliant display when doing something gave off a feeling of a mature and experienced woman. She was just like a different person, with the disposition of a fairy! Could it be possible that I picked up a treasure?
At noon, Uncle Wu asked his subordinates to arrange the meal. The meal was all made by the military canteen. Its style was ordinary, but the nutritional mix was very good. The meal was also very delicious. Because of my arrival, Uncle Wu specially arranged a few special dishes for me.
âI canât afford to have a mountain of delicacies and can only ask you to have a simple meal!â Uncle Wu said with a smile.
I know that many army cadres are incorruptible, so I didnât mind his words. What does a mountain of delicacies matter, only meals cooked at home are worth eating!
âUncle Wu, thereâs no need to be so humble, I think this is already very good!â I said, âIn fact, I believe that all these dishes will be more than enough to eat to our fill!â
âGood! Home cooked dishes and rice are obviously the most delicious. And together with this Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber, it will be enough to fill our stomachs!â Uncle Wu nodded in agreement.
Since there was no alcohol during the meal, everyone ate to their fill. After letting the servicemen clean the table, the three of us sat on the sofa to rest.
âUncle Wu, I want to ask you something!â I took the sheepskin roll from my coat, âDo you about the place marked above this map?â
âWhatâs the matter... Oh, what kind of map is this? Why do I feel as if I have seen it? Itâs just like a map from the past?â Uncle Wu took the sheepskin roll over from me and joked, âIs this some kind of a treasure map? Arenât you afraid that I will take it under my possession?â
âHaha, look at what you are talking about? If you lack money, YingYing and I will give you all you want as filial piety! What need would you have to go treasure hunting?â I said with a smile.
Uncle Wu opened the sheepskin roll and looked at it. The more he looked, the more dignified his appearance became as he frowned and didnât say anything for a while.
Looking at his appearance, my heart was getting more and more anxious. Could it be that the treasure buried there hadnât yet been taken out?
âLittle Liu, where did you find this map?â Uncle Wu asked very seriously.
âI inherited this map. What happened, is there any issue Uncle Wu?â Liu Zhenhai gave it to me, so it could be said that I inherited it, right? Therefore, I wasnât lying to him.
âDeath Valley... True, that place is really a valley of death!â Uncle Wu muttered what he was thinking, âLittle Liu, this isnât any map to a treasure. You must never go to that place!â
âNot a treasure map? Is there anything wrong about the location marked above the map?â I asked strangely.
