A sense of urgency surged in Xie Linlin's heart.

Finding Su Miaorou is just around the corner; it should be within the next few days.

If the other party can be found, the crisis can be resolved!

According to the information Bubble has gathered these past few days, Su Miaorou is an absolute weapon of mass destruction. As long as they can get her out of trouble, no matter how mysterious the Geminis are, they will definitely not be a match for her.

You still want to kill Xia Che?

They probably wouldn't even have the thought of opposing the other party.

In Bubble's words...

This woman is too mysterious and has a powerful background. If they rashly go to her, they might be treated as enemies and dealt with on the spot.

Therefore, Su Miaorou needs someone she can trust to accompany her.

Although Bubble hasn't yet found out the specifics of the relationship between Xia Che and Su Miaorou, the closeness between the two is quite obvious.

Of the six options that Bubble selected overnight using AI, the most likely one, with the highest probability, is...

Su Miaorou is Xia Che's mother!

They are mother and son!

Both Bubble and Xie Linlin felt that this result was very likely.

A woman of mysterious origin, who has left her own legend in Jiang City for a long time, even if we follow the timeline, the probability that she is Xia Che's biological mother is still very high.

Moreover, only this kind of relationship can protect Xia Che and even help him contend with the mysterious twins.

after all……

Which mother doesn't protect her child?

Xie Linlin wholeheartedly agrees with this.

"Okay, I understand, but... remember to let me know a day in advance, in case something comes up."

Xia Che smiled and agreed.

That's not bad either.

At least I'll have someone to accompany me when I go to Lotus Peak.

Otherwise, Xia Che would get quite bored going alone every time.

not to mention……

Xia Che looked at Xie Linlin in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Xia Che, who had a crush on his pretty junior, always felt that she was no ordinary person.

"I heard that the head of the Xie family suddenly fell ill, a rare condition that is incurable worldwide... But recently, for some reason, he seems to have improved somewhat. This medical miracle is as outrageous as Jiang Yu's recovery of her legs. Could this be the reason why Xie Linlin suddenly confessed to me?"

Xia Che silently thought to himself.

Even though the two had known each other for a long time, Xia Che still felt uneasy about the other's sudden confession at the beginning.

Because it was so sudden.

Before the confession, the two had no other interaction except for the one time they met at the school's opening ceremony in their first year of high school.

We had no contact, no common topics, and had only met once...

Can you really cultivate liking for someone?

Xia Che had never liked anyone before, so he didn't know if it was possible to cultivate liking someone like that.

But Xie Linlin was visibly happy when she was with him.

This attitude made Xia Che start to doubt himself again, thinking that he was just overthinking things.

"Okay, I know. Well then... good luck on your exam, senior."

Xie Linlin took something out from behind her back, stuffed it into Xia Che's hand, winked at him, and before Xia Che could speak, Xie Linlin ran away with a light laugh.

After the other person left, Xia Che looked down and saw that the thing Xie Linlin had given him had a soft, squishy feel in his hand and a slightly cool texture.

It is a red lucky charm.

Xia Che looked somewhat familiar with this lucky charm.

It is a product of a fairly famous temple in Jiang City. It is said that many people will go to ask for a talisman before major exams, hoping to pass the exams and get good grades.

Although this thing can only bring peace of mind and good luck at best.

The actual utility, emm...

Needless to say.

But with so many people going and such a large population base, there are bound to be a few who perform exceptionally well. When the good news was announced, it was like a tornado, instantly sweeping across the entire university community in Jiang City.

Many students who are about to take important exams prefer to believe in something rather than not, since it's something to pray for good luck. Whether it works or not, psychological comfort is an important factor in maintaining a good mindset.

Xia Che had seen posts on the forum about people who obtained lucky charms and actually passed their exams, so he was familiar with the charm.

Below the lucky charm hangs a red tassel with an antique jade plaque attached, bearing the words: "Wishing Senior Xia Che success in the imperial examination."

"It's just a placement test... it's hardly a top achievement, is it?"

Xia Che smiled slightly.

But my heart was filled with a deep sense of emotion.

This lucky charm isn't the kind of cheap stuff you get just by going there; he could tell that Xie Linlin had put a lot of thought into it.

Ordinary lucky charms, let alone jade pendants, are just talismans. The one Xie Linlin gave herself had to be ordered in advance.

"It smells quite nice..."

Xia Che squeezed it and felt that there was something inside the lucky charm. It was soft to the touch. When he brought it closer to smell it, a pleasant fragrance wafted out.

It smells like a sachet.

It has a rich aroma, but it is not pungent.

Xia Che only took two sniffs before feeling his brain, which had been a little groggy from just waking up, instantly clear up.

"Wow! That works so well, did they put two mothballs inside?"

Xia Che's eyes lit up immediately, and he held the lucky charm in his hand, praising it repeatedly.

nice one……

Since it was Xie Linlin's kind gesture, Xia Che didn't think much of it, put it in his pocket, and turned to go back to the classroom.

but……

Xia Che suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Looking back, I could just see the beautiful figure that was about to disappear from my sight.

From Xia Che's angle, he could see the other person's profile perfectly.

Her exquisite jawline is like a masterpiece of nature, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth is like the most alluring and beautiful scenery.

Such a vibrant junior...

"Is her true personality actually that bad?"

Xia Che's smile gradually faded, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He investigated Xie Linlin's situation in the second year of high school.

This woman was completely different from how she acted in front of him.

"Bad personality", "sharp tongue", "always breathing out fumes".

With these three tricks, she became the most unapproachable thorny rose in the entire second year of high school.

A girl with such high looks should, in theory, receive high praise.

After all, adolescence is the age when people pursue beauty.

As long as you're good-looking, you'll receive plenty of attention and adoration.

Xie Linlin was the only exception.

Coming from a wealthy family and possessing both good looks, she always acted arrogantly at school, and anyone who dared to confess their feelings to her was ridiculed and left speechless.
