My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 724 - 244: Insect Clan Banquet (Part 2)

"So, there are different professor terms for different departments?" Du Xixi rubbed her fingers. She remembered that her initial professor terms were almost pitifully few; she had glanced at them quickly and finished reading all the terms.

However, the professor terms for political economy were dozens of times thicker than those for the Food Department. Du Xixi went over and sat down beside her, glanced slightly at the content she was looking at, and found it densely packed, line by line, completely different from the professor terms she had read before—the professor terms for the Food Department seemed more like they were written for fun.

Miao Miao lightly smiled and casually placed her index finger on the paper, making a faint rustling sound: "Maybe it’s because our political economy covers a lot of content? It involves the political and business worlds. If a professor doesn’t explain things clearly during lectures, or says something wrong, it could easily mislead students, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

The uniqueness of political economy lies in this; it is an overly comprehensive subject, so there are especially many requirements for professors teaching political economy.

Miao Miao was studying political economy, so when she received the professor terms, she wasn’t too surprised. She had already speculated on the content in her mind, and about seventy to eighty percent of her speculations matched the real professor terms.

Du Xixi glanced at Miao Miao. When they first met, Miao Miao was still a naive and cautious "Cat Girl," but in just a few years, Miao Miao had become a bookish apprentice professor, her knowledge already far beyond many people’s reach.

"From now on, you and I will be colleagues." Du Xixi closed her eyes with emotion, just as 2569 brought over a plate of fruit. Having not yet eaten breakfast, she speared a small piece of watermelon with a fork and put it in her mouth.

This watermelon was originally discovered on CD-0329 Star. Later, after Du Xixi identified its eating method and planting technique, the Cultural Relics Bureau allocated a piece of land exclusively for watermelon cultivation. The watermelons that the Ke Family ate came from this land.

The watermelon was juicy, and with a bite, the juice burst out, leaving a slightly sandy texture. Recently, Du Xixi particularly enjoyed eating watermelon, with a feeling of never getting tired of it.

"Madam, what would you like for breakfast today?" 2569 approached Du Xixi and, noticing a bit of watermelon juice at the corner of her mouth, handed her a clean napkin to wipe with. "The Marshal said you wanted pan-fried dumplings last night, so I made a lot of them. Would you like to have some?"

"Then I’ll have the pan-fried dumplings, and give me a bowl of porridge too." Du Xixi wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of her mouth with the napkin and gave 2569 a gentle smile, "I want something sweet today, so please add some sugar to the porridge."

"Okay."

agreed, and after pouring Miao Miao a cup of her favorite light tea, went to the kitchen to prepare Du Xixi’s breakfast. Just as Du Xixi sat at the dining table, ready to enjoy her porridge and dumplings, Ke Lian returned from the Military Department.

Ke Lian greeted Miao Miao, then removed his heavy military coat as he walked over to Du Xixi and patted her head as she looked up at him. "Having breakfast? Are the pan-fried dumplings good?"

"Very good." Du Xixi licked a bit of meat juice from the corner of her lips, noticed Ke Lian’s slightly cold demeanor and slightly furrowed brows, and concernedly held his hand, "What’s wrong? What did the Military Department want with you?"

Ke Lian initially felt a bit heavy-hearted, but seeing Du Xixi’s concern, he couldn’t help but laugh, and the worry on his face lifted somewhat with that smile: "It’s about the war on the front line. The Military Department wants me to leave for the front line the morning after tomorrow. I feel reluctant to leave you."

Du Xixi didn’t expect that her concern for Ke Lian would result in such sweet words, and her already thin skin flushed red. But seeing Ke Lian’s slightly teasing eyes, she playfully said, "Then just go. You may not want to leave me, but I don’t mind you leaving. No matter how long you go, I won’t miss you."

Ke Lian chuckled, lightly rubbed Du Xixi’s nose, and instead of leaving, sat down beside her, propping his chin with his hand, watching her eat breakfast.

Being watched while eating can make one self-conscious, but if the person watching is Ke Lian, Du Xixi didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, she ate more earnestly, occasionally letting out an enjoyable "mmm," which left Ke Lian quite amused for quite some time.
