Chapter 409:

Not long after Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi returned to work at the management office, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi also came back. Their reason for returning to work was that they had not found anything at the school, so they simply applied to come back. Currently, only Yinni and Bai Xinyu's group in their department have not returned.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic. Speaking of which, this job is incredibly boring. If I hadn't applied to come back several times, I probably wouldn't be back now."

In the office, Mu Xiaoyi was painting her nails while talking to Yue Jiuling. She said, "But this time the inside information is so unreliable. We've been there for almost a month, and only your group encountered the demons. We haven't found anything."

Yue Jiuling was also very puzzled, because when they were going to go undercover, it was Director Yu who gave them the clues, but she didn't expect that out of the three schools, only her school had an accident, and it was just a minor one.

Yue Jiuling thought about it again and again but still couldn't figure it out, so she said, "Oh well, I can't figure it out either, so let's just leave it for now. In a couple of days, Yinni and the others should be back."

“Actually, if nothing else had happened, I think they could have applied to come back right now.”

Ye Dongfeng chimed in, "School is so boring, I can't stand it!"

Ya Zi thought of his and Yue Jiuling's previous exams, and Ye Cha chimed in, "Tsk, you guys aren't as miserable as us, okay? We had to do exam papers too~ That was truly terrifying."

Hearing Ya Zi's words, Mu Xiaoyi and Ye Dongfeng both remembered the test papers they had seen in the group chat before. Ye Dongfeng chuckled and said, "Yes, you guys are really quite pitiful. Those scores were simply appalling, hahaha~"

Mu Xiaoyi laughed and said, "That's right, I'm impressed by you guys too, hahaha~"

"Tsk, how can you make fun of us like that?" Yue Jiuling was annoyed by their laughter. She pretended to be angry and said, "You should know that Long Shao and I are illiterate. It's already pretty good that we managed to guess this score. How can you treat us like this? Sigh, I'm so sad."

"Oh, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that. By the way, didn't I say I'd wait for you to come back and then go out for a big meal? Come on, let's go out for dinner tonight, okay?"

Bai Xinyu leaned against Yue Jiuling, trying to comfort her with food.

Upon hearing her words, Ya Zi immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, okay, where are we going to eat? Do we need to make a reservation now?"

"No need, let's ask Xiaobaicai to save us a table," Ye Dongfeng chimed in. "Anyway, Xiaobaicai didn't come to work today, he took the day off. Why don't we go see him together and get a free meal while we're at it?"

Xiao Baicai didn't come to work today because he took the day off, citing feeling unwell and having caught a cold as the reason.

It's already December, the cold winter month, so many people are likely to catch a cold at this time.

"Tsk, Xiaobaicai's constitution is indeed a bit weak. After all, vegetables are more susceptible to cold. Let's go check on him after get off work tonight."

Ye Dongfeng said, sitting in a chair.

Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi both agreed to eat at Xiaobaicai's restaurant. Yue Jiuling added, "How about we bring him some medicine for a cold? We don't know if the child can take these kinds of medicines."

"Maybe it's possible?"

Mu Xiaoyi said, "You animals can also take some of the cold medicine that we humans take, but I don't know if plant-based medicines are okay."

Ya Zi was playing on his phone when he heard the two girls talking, so he said, "It should be fine. If you're worried, don't bring too much, just bring a little."

"Okay, then I'll take some with me."

Hearing the two girls whispering about preparing to bring cold medicine for Xiaobaicai, Ye Dongfeng and Ya Zi shook their heads and smiled, then went back to playing games with Yinmi, who was still at school.

And so they slacked off in the office for another day, and finally went to Xiaobaicai's restaurant with cold medicine after get off work.

Xiao Baicai was already waiting for everyone at the restaurant. Before getting off work, Mu Xiaoyi and Yue Jiuling had already told Xiao Baicai that they would come to see him. Therefore, Xiao Baicai was waiting downstairs for everyone to arrive together.

"Tsk, Little Cabbage, you do look a bit pale. Did you take any medicine? We brought you some cold medicine."

Yue Jiuling handed the medicine they had bought to Xiaobaicai, and then asked with concern, "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine, just feeling a little unwell. Thank you for your concern."

Little Cabbage, bundled up in thick clothes like a big rice dumpling, sniffled as he took the medicine from Yue Jiuling, then smiled and put it aside, saying, "I'm not too sure about taking this medicine. My health isn't very good right now. This winter is too cold, and I can't find a place to huddle up like before, so it's normal for me to catch a cold."

"Why can't you stay indoors like you usually do? You could just wear more clothes, wouldn't that be fine?"

Mu Xiaoyi was puzzled when she heard what Xiaobaicai said, because she felt that as long as Xiaobaicai wore more clothes, she wouldn't get cold.

"No, I used to bury myself in the ground during the winter, but I can't do that this year. Besides, my cultivation level is still not very good. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm getting colder and colder."
