Boys' Dormitory

Because everyone has taken leave recently, the men who don't have to go to work are staying in their dormitories and not going out. Some are playing games, some are sleeping, and they just don't go out.

Ya Zi returned to the dormitory before dawn and saw Ye Dongfeng and Yin Ni still working hard in front of the computer.

"Damn, you guys are really something! You were playing games when I went out last night, and now that I'm back, you're still playing. Aren't you pushing your limits?"

Looking at the two who were still fighting despite their dark circles under their eyes, Ya Zi said speechlessly, "Aren't you two sleepy at all?"

Hidden, frantically pressing the keyboard, said, "Oh, it's you back. How are you? Actually, once you fall in love with this game and get addicted, you won't feel sleepy anymore. You'll only be thinking about winning!"

“That’s right,” Ye Dongfeng said, “Our luck tonight is so-so, half wins and half losses. Oh no, hide! Quick, come protect me! This bastard just keeps chasing me! Damn it! I’m about to die!”

Ya Zi looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly, saying, "Tsk tsk~ You guys keep playing, I'm going to sleep now. We still didn't catch that slug last night, another wasted day, sigh~"

"Seriously? You guys didn't catch it tonight either?"

Hearing Ya Zi's words, Yin Ni said somewhat uneasily, "This thing is too powerful. I'm quite afraid it will continue to come out and hurt people."

Ya Zi looked at them with a disgusted expression and said, "It's all because you guys are lazy. Otherwise, with so many of us, we could definitely catch them if we went out together."

Hidden in the shadows, silenced by Ya Zi's words, because he genuinely wanted to slack off. However, Ye Dongfeng spoke up, putting on a pitiful yet understanding expression, saying, "Oh dear, we're still injured, aren't we? Besides, if we take leave, you can have a proper date with our Comrade Jiu Ling, right? Hehe~"

Although Ye Dongfeng usually only played games, he was still quite perceptive. He had long noticed Ya Zi's change in attitude towards Yue Jiuling, but he just didn't say it out loud.

Upon hearing Ye Dongfeng's words, Ya Zi raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Tsk~ Never mind you guys, I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

Ya Zi said he was going to the bathroom to take a shower. After showering, he went to the kitchen to find something to eat before going back to his room to sleep.

City C

Mr. Jiang got up early in the morning. While packing his luggage, Huang Qing told him, "When you get there, just stay in the hotel. Don't wander around or go out unless necessary. Come back as soon as you sign the contract. By the way, have you put away the talisman that Niannian gave you?"

Mr. Jiang knew that Huang Qing was concerned about him, so he said with a smile, "Oh, I know, I know. Why are you acting like a nagging old woman? You're still so young."

"You're always so cheeky. You're not getting any younger, and your kids are all grown up!"

Huang Qing glared helplessly at Mr. Jiang, then continued packing his luggage.

At the dining table, because she stayed up late watching dramas last night, Yue Jiu Nian, unusually, did not stay in bed and wait for someone to wake her up for breakfast. Instead, she came out early to wait for food.

"Good morning, sis."

Liu Zhan wasn't kicked out last night, but stayed overnight at the Jiang family's house. His parents were quite busy lately, so they didn't object to him staying overnight at the Jiang family's house. As a result, Liu Zhan became even more emboldened and brazenly pestered Yue Jiu Nian.

Yue Jiu Nian got a headache just looking at this silly child, but she didn't say anything. Let him stay here if he wants. It seems that nothing should happen to the Jiang family, so she wasn't too worried.

After having breakfast, Mr. Jiang took Jiang Yi out, and the Jiang family saw him off at the gate.

Just as Mr. Jiang was about to leave by car, he suddenly remembered something. He rolled down the car window and said to the people outside, "Oh, right, I just remembered, aren't Niannian and Xiaozhan's grades going to come out in the next few days? You two remember to check your grades."

After saying this, Mr. Jiang left without looking back, leaving Liu Zhan with an expectant and uneasy look, and Yue Jiu Nian with a miserable look.

"Ugh, the results... when will the results come out?"

Yue Jiu asked Liu Zhan beside her, and Liu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Usually it's one or two weeks after the exam, but it's about time now."

"Oh, okay, I understand."
