My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 495 - 167 Teasing_3

The only person she acted so nonsensically for.

After hanging out with Ke Lian in the room for a while, when Du Xixi came out, Miao Miao had been reading downstairs for some time. But it was still early, and once Ke Lian finished freshening up and came downstairs, the three of them had breakfast together before parting ways in two different directions.

"Miss, how about I accompany you home after you chat with Sister Lin?" Miao Miao said, helping to tuck a pillow behind Du Xixi’s back and covering her with a thick blanket, under Du Xixi’s helpless gaze.

Comfortably leaning back in the hovercar, Du Xixi tapped Miao Miao’s head gently, without using much force so as not to leave a red mark on Miao Miao’s forehead: "What nonsense are you talking? If you accompany me back and forth, wouldn’t it be a waste of time? I have the Mechanical Soldiers with me; I’ll be fine."

"At least let me watch you get into the car." Miao Miao shook her head, but seeing Du Xixi was adamant, she said, "Didn’t you already agree with your classmates to study? Besides, your Miss is strong and nothing will happen to me."

Du Xixi knew Miao Miao loved reading, and the classmates Miao Miao agreed to study with were surely those she had a good relationship with, and Du Xixi didn’t want Miao Miao to "break the promise."

The hovercar moved quickly and was almost at the destination. Du Xixi smiled and patted Miao Miao, who was somewhat reluctant yet couldn’t voice any objections, and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll message you when I get home. If the library is inconvenient, you can video call me when you return to your dormitory, so you can see for yourself that I’m safe."

"Yes, you must message me!" Miao Miao thought for a while, seeing the hovercar had already stopped, she could only nod and compromise, "I’ll set my Light Computer to vibrate mode in the library, so Miss, don’t worry about disturbing me."

"Good girl." In a way, Du Xixi always treated Miao Miao as coaxing a child, and indeed, the once naive Miao Miao about how to behave in the world had grown up into an erudite and intelligent young woman, just like a child growing up.

Now the hovercar had stopped steadily, and the two sisters carefully got out of the car. Miao Miao first accompanied Du Xixi to the school office and only tiptoed away after seeing her enter Lin You’s office.

"Xixi!" When Du Xixi entered, Lin You was on a phone call, so neither of them spoke, just waved at each other as a greeting. Then Du Xixi naturally sat down and skillfully took a nearby blanket to cover herself.

Du Xixi and Lin You were like sisters; Du Xixi feeling at home here was nothing surprising. Besides... Du Xixi glanced at the blanket covering herself and couldn’t help but smile.

If she remembered correctly, this blanket was the one she left here at the beginning of the semester because she always liked to cover herself with a blanket when visiting, so she never took it back.

Lin You exchanged a few brief words on the phone and then hung up, directly sitting in front of Du Xixi: "Why are you back today? The Food Department doesn’t have classes until tomorrow?"

The entire Blue Star University had a break for the past few days, including the Food Department. So those coming to school now, aside from the faculty living on campus, were either studious students like Miao Miao or busy people like Lin You who couldn’t stop for a break.

Lin You knew Du Xixi loved green tea and was about to pour her a cup, but Du Xixi shook her hand, gently saying, "Just a cup of plain water is fine. I’m here today to share some good news."

"Good news?" Lin You’s hand paused as she was about to take the teapot, then she turned to the water dispenser to pour Du Xixi a glass of water, "To me, the best news would be having a capable assistant who can take care of some of the overwhelming administrative tasks for me." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

On campus, aside from professors who might have teaching assistants, no one else had helpers. Even though the position of the head of the school office was indeed high, the amount of work was genuinely overwhelming.

Lin You was experienced, standing strong in this position for decades, efficiently handling affairs, but there were always moments when she was overwhelmed because she was only one person.

She was busy recently, though she had delegated some school affairs, there were still heaps left in her hands that required her direct attention.

To put it candidly, the affairs a school office head needed to handle were like a simplified version of the governmental procedures Your Majesty had to manage.

Du Xixi smiled, took a sip of the warm water, wetted her throat, and decided not to keep the suspense, directly saying, "My good news is... I’m pregnant."

Lin You was sipping her strong tea to stay alert, and upon hearing this, she almost spat it out in excitement, but fortunately, she held back, swallowed it after a while, then stood up abruptly and leaned close to Du Xixi asking, "Say that again? You’re pregnant?"

Du Xixi nonchalantly raised her eyebrows, placing her hand on her belly: "I found out during yesterday’s check-up, it’s been more than a month now."
