"Secretary Gan Yu should still be working overtime right now. Take this to her and ask her to handle it immediately."

"Yes, Lord Ningguang."

Bai Shi took the official document with a serious expression and walked quickly towards Gan Yu's office.

Just as he reached the door, Bai Shi suddenly sniffed, his face showing surprise.

What is this smell?!

It smells so good!

Suddenly I feel like I'm hungry...

Bai Shi unconsciously swallowed and knocked on the door.

Gan Yu's voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Bai Shi pushed open the door and went in, handing over the official documents in his hand.

"Secretary Gan Yu, this document is quite urgent. Lady Ningguang hopes you can handle it immediately."

"I understand."

Gan Yu nodded, took the document, and began to read it carefully.

Bai Shi stood still, his gaze involuntarily drawn to a covered food box on the table in front of him, which was constantly emitting a warm and fragrant aroma.

That's the smell I just caught!

What exactly is inside?

How can it be so alluring?

Bai Shi stared at it blankly until Gan Yu spoke, startling her awake.

"Bai Shi, I've taken care of it. Please keep it safe."

"okay!"

Gan Yu looked at the food box in front of her, her expression suddenly turning somewhat panicked:

"Oh no, I forgot the time. Did I overdose?"

She quickly opened the food box.

A plume of white steam rose up.

The entire office was filled with an enticing aroma.

Bai Shi swallowed hard.

This is... noodles?

Gan Yu picked up her chopsticks, took a handful of noodles, and put them in her mouth.

"Mmm...it's so delicious..."

Gan Yu looked satisfied. Just as she was about to take her second bite, she noticed that Bai Shi was still standing at the table, staring at her expectantly.

"Hundred Knowledges?"

"Miss Gan Yu, do you know what this is?"

"It's a specialty food that a friend gave me. Just add boiling water and soak it for a while, and you can enjoy steaming hot noodles."

"That's it..."

Gan Yu smiled.

“My friend gave me a lot of things. You must be hungry after working overtime until now. How about I give you two boxes?”

"Thank you!"

A moment later, Bai Shi returned to Ning Guang's office with two boxes of instant noodles and official documents.

"Lady Ningguang! I've brought you something delicious!"

"Oh? What is this?"

"This is……"

A few minutes later, Ningguang finished the last mouthful of soup in the food box, let out a soft breath, and had a satisfied blush on her face.

There are such delicious noodles in the world!

She felt not only completely refreshed and full of energy, but also in a great mood.

Ningguang lowered her head, looking at the small piece of paper stuck on the food box with an amused expression.

"Master Xia...?"

Chapter 184 Don't Leave Me

Late at night, in the world of dreams.

Xia Zhi frowned slightly as he looked at the blue dream bubble in front of him.

Shen He had another nightmare tonight.

This was the third time he had seen her having a nightmare.

It was always cyan, representing fear.

Xia Zhi stood there for a while, pondered, and then decided to go in and take a look.

He wanted to help her get rid of her nightmares.

First, we need to figure out what she is afraid of.

Xia Zhi reached out her hand and touched the bubbles.

The scenery before him blurred for a moment, and then he found himself in an unfamiliar courtyard with a lush, large tree.

Not far away was a little girl, leaning against the gate of the courtyard, staring blankly into the distance, as if waiting for someone.

Xia Zhi activated the stealth mode of the [Hidden Hat] and walked towards the little girl.

Standing in front of her, he looked her over. Her expression was somewhat sad and confused, and he could vaguely see a trace of Shen He's current appearance in her youthful face.

This little girl must be Shen He when he was a child.

At this time, she was just an ordinary little girl with normal black hair, and she didn't have the otherworldly and aloof fairy-like aura that she would develop later in life.

Xia Zhi stood with her for a while, then turned and walked across the courtyard to Shen He's house.

The house was deserted and empty, but some sacrificial implements were visible in the main hall, and a spirit tablet stood on the table.

Xia Zhi glanced at the memorial tablet, searched the room carefully, and finally found a short note written by an unknown person in a somewhat messy study.

He opened his notebook and read it carefully.

"The doctor said you are very ill. Don't worry, even if it costs me all my money, I will definitely save you."

"Seeing you grow more and more haggard, beyond the reach of medicine, my heart feels like it's bleeding. If I could, I would truly wish to suffer in your place..."

"You said you have no regrets in this life, and your only wish is for me to take good care of Ahe. But if you have no regrets, why are you crying?"

Ah He.

It should refer to Shen He.

Given this title, the owner of this notebook must be an elder of Shen He.

“During this time, I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m living in a daze every day. I’ve searched through ancient books, trying to find a way to save you, but I’ve found nothing.”

"I found it! It turns out Mingjun had been hiding the book that could save you! I got the book back, and I did exactly what it said..."

The notes end here.

Xia Zhi thoughtfully put down her notebook, went back outside, and stood next to Xiao Shenhe, waiting with her.

It seemed like we had been waiting for a long time, yet it also seemed like we had only been waiting for a short while.

A man with a weathered face walked towards them from a distance.

Xiao Shenhe's face lit up with joy, and she rushed towards him.

"Dad, you're back!"

“Ah He…”

The man stroked his daughter's head, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, but it ultimately turned into a wildly joyful smile.

"Dad is taking you somewhere."

"Where to go?"

"Dad has prepared a big surprise for you outside."

Is it a gift?

"yes……"

Xiao Shenhe looked up happily, then followed his father out the door without any suspicion.
