Chapter 540: Heart‑to‑Heart, A Walk, Future Plans

"Is that so? Then what do you want to eat today? It's on me."

Xu Mo smiled and said.

Yang Jingxuan rolled a pretty white eye, her enticing red lips slightly upturned, "Didn't you pick up any other meaning?"

"Got it," Xu Mo nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

Having known Yang Jingxuan for so long.

The two were almost as familiar as if they knew each other's roots.

The only thing lacking was a matter of time.

A matter of sooner or later.

Yang Jingxuan, rarely showing a daughter‑like demeanor, asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

The two stared at each other, you look at you, I look at me.

Both fell silent in succession.

Pfft—

I don't know if it was a laugh that came out first.

Yang Jingxuan's pink face was very alluring; she raised a small pink fist and lightly punched Xu Mo's chest, "You bastard! What's so funny?"

"I just remembered something happy. By the way, what do you want to eat today?" Xu Mo changed the subject.

Yang Jingxuan was quite indifferent regarding food.

As long as she could be with Xu Mo.

No matter what they did, she would feel immensely happy.

"Anything's fine, you decide."

"Hmm, I know a good place for crab‑roe noodles; the crabs are at their plumpest this season."

At Xu Mo's suggestion.

The two quickly reached a consensus.

They got into the limited‑edition anniversary white 918 that Yang Jingxuan drove.

The two set off toward their destination.

The life people yearn for isn't about great storms.

It's the plain and simple that is real.

Such a life may seem like it's lived the same way every day.

But if one day it isn't lived that way, and something sudden and abnormal happens in life.

You might then miss the previously seemingly plain life immensely.

These years, Xu Mo went from a junior staff member to inexplicably experiencing the escape activities founded by a world‑top company.

Later, he also gained a certain strength.

To bring more benefit to society.

The brilliance of life—what great turmoil hasn't one seen?

Now returning to the former state is almost impossible.

But, you know.

Life is still the same life, as long as the mindset is properly adjusted.

All problems cease to be called problems.

An old shop that specializes in crab‑roe noodles.

At meal time, crowds as far as the eye can see.

It's evident the shop is unusually popular, and after being open so long it remains bustling.

There must be some reason behind it.

We ordered two servings of crab‑roe noodles and added some combo meals.

Today Xu Mo is going to indulge properly.

The noodles were drenched with crab‑roe flavor; a bite released a burst of crab roe in the mouth.

That fresh, exhilarating sensation is indescribable.

Encountering something delicious.

Xu Mo isn't that particular; he generally isn't fussy.

When it comes to eating, just do whatever makes you happy.

Eating in big mouthfuls is obviously tastier.

It's worth mentioning that

Xu Mo doesn't eat like a starving beast devouring food.

Instead, he eats methodically, just a bit faster than ordinary people.

Compared with Yang Jingxuan beside him.

When she lifts the noodles, she appears exceptionally elegant and poised.

After enjoying this sumptuous lunch.

Yang Jingxuan voluntarily bought Xu Mo a cup of the newly released sauce‑flavored latte.

The two wandered aimlessly around the mall.

"After teaching, what are your thoughts? Or how many years do you plan to teach?"

Yang Jingxuan walked beside Xu Mo, the two close together, each holding a milk tea; perhaps from nervousness, her small hand gripping the tea applied a slight pressure.

Xu Mo thought for a moment, "I'm thinking about three to five years, that should be about right."

Having trained two to three batches of outstanding police officers, Xu Mo himself already has a clear conscience.

After all, this thing is like a rolling snowball.

The old guide the new; after three or five years, the new become the old, and the old start guiding newcomers again.

The cycle repeats.

What Xu Mo needs to do is simple.

Open the head properly.

The rest, let events unfold as they will.

Xu Mo believes that whatever happens will develop toward a good direction.

So there's no need to think too much.

Thump thump.

Yang Jingxuan's heartbeat raced, as if she could even hear her own heartbeat.

Summoning courage, she asked another question.

"What about after that? After you stop teaching, where do you plan to go?"

This time Xu Mo thought seriously for a while, then replied, "The world is so big; I want to see it. There are many countries I haven't been to; then I'll wander the world."

"Then… do you want someone to accompany you?"

Yang Jingxuan blinked, her expression also serious as she looked at Xu Mo.

Heaven knows how nervous and scared she is right now.

The nervousness is about Xu Mo's upcoming words; the fear is that Xu Mo might say something rejecting her.

"Well… " Xu Mo deliberately elongated his tone, looking at the extremely nervous Yang Jingxuan…
