Hearing this, Lu Zhe looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with surprise as he gazed at the girl. "Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Could it be...?

Suddenly, a flood of thoughts rushed into his mind, leaving him no time to think further; joy instantly filled his mind.

"I don't mean anything else. Our most important thing right now is the college entrance exam. We'll talk about things later. Do you understand what I mean?"

After Lu Zhe finished speaking that day, the magnetic field between the two of them was no longer as strange as before. Qi Jiu, who had just returned to university, received an invitation to the school's academic discussion.

"Pharmacy? Academic discussion?"

Lü Fang nodded.

"Yes, the profession of pharmacist is highly respected not only in China but all over the world. You've worked hard these past few days. You had an academic competition a while ago, and now you're representing the country in a pharmaceutical academic discussion. But for you, this should be considered a good thing. It's just a bit tiring."

Upon hearing this, the young girl waved her hand dismissively. "As the ancients said, 'Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are capable.' Am I not destined for greatness? Besides, this is an opportunity that others might not even have."

As she looked at the match information on her phone, the smile on her face gradually faded.

It turns out it's in country X. I haven't been back since I left country X, and I don't know if the environment has changed.

She could represent China in pharmaceutical research, but she still had some reservations about that place. If she ran into those kinds of people, things might be worse and more troublesome than she imagined.

He Qingfeng and the others looked at the invitations in their hands, their excitement impossible to hide. Academic discussions within China naturally couldn't match the insights of pharmacists worldwide.

This can also be a learning experience.

"Having participated in this academic discussion, can I be considered a pharmacist who has just stepped into the field?" Zhu Luoxing smiled happily.

Pharmaceutical academic discussions are not just as simple as attending a lecture as they used to be; they are also an opportunity to examine the world.

On that day, pharmacists from all over the world will share their experiences and discuss with each other. Just thinking about it makes me feel that this will be very rewarding.

By then, their expertise in pharmacology will surely reach new heights!

"Qiqi, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Jiang Xin looked at Qi Jiu, who seemed lost in thought, and the smile on her face slowly froze. Her voice also drew the attention of the people around her.

The girl smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about my old friends in Country X. I wonder if they're still around? I wonder if I'll be able to run into them this time."

If possible, she hopes to avoid running into them at all, otherwise one troublesome thing after another will happen.

Then it will be like in the US, where everyone is too busy to be in two places at once.

The preparation time passed quickly, and He Qingfeng and the others boarded the plane to Country X. Only the girl remained, staring at the unmarked helicopter in front of her, her dark eyes deep and unfathomable.

This time, she specifically requested from the school that students from different schools arrive in Country X together.

This also reflects her concerns, as her identity is quite sensitive in Country X.

Although He Qingfeng and the others didn't ask anything at first, they couldn't help but ask when they saw Qi Jiu, who landed around the same time as them.

But the girl's answer was something they never expected.

"Since you have the means to fly in a private jet, you shouldn't take up public resources. It's fine to have your own plane all by yourself."

He Qingfeng and the others: "..." What to do? I suddenly feel like hitting someone!

Before them was a huge manor. Besides the usual patrolling soldiers at the manor gate, the other people they saw were probably students who had come to participate in the academic discussion.

Both white and black skin are included.

The rooms were all prepared. To look out for each other, the rooms from different countries were grouped together. Next door to Qi Jiu's room were Jiang Xin and He Qingfeng's rooms.

After a long and tiring journey, it should have been time to rest, but Qi Jiu left the room without making a sound or telling anyone, as if she was deliberately hiding herself.

The street was familiar, and the surroundings were somewhat familiar. She should have felt a sense of nostalgia, but instead, her brows furrowed more and more.

With his hands in his pockets, he observed the country of X, which had undergone considerable changes.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she nimbly concealed herself in the shadows, and a group of people approached her shortly afterward.

Their faces were completely covered by black robes, and their physiques could only be observed from their appearance. At the same time, their unique language could be heard.

It's a niche language.

Time passed slowly, and after those people left, the girl gradually revealed herself.

She narrowed her eyes as she watched the passersby avoid her.

What a coincidence! I ran into these people on my very first day in country X. They were just as corrupt as ever.

It's still unknown whether these people feel more fear or more murderous intent now that they know she's back.

She was also very curious about this question.

After observing the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, I finally settled down in a coffee shop.

At first, her appearance didn't attract much attention, but as the waiter approached and saw her striking appearance, the news slowly spread in secret, and the person who took her order changed from the waiter to the coffee shop manager.

"Miss, what would you like to order?"

"An iced Americano will do, and one of your signature mini cakes too."

The girl's voice was cool and aloof as she looked at the restaurant manager who was taking her order, a strange smile playing on her lips. Her scrutiny was undisguised, but the manager showed no displeasure.

After the coffee and cakes were served, the manager, who was in charge of serving the food, did not leave. Instead, he sat down opposite her as if nothing had happened, deliberately suppressing his excitement.

Why are you back?

If possible, he should have shouted those words.

Looking at the ice-cold coffee in front of her, the girl chuckled softly. "I came to participate in a school event and thought I'd drop by to see you."

"An event? You came back here again just for an event? Have you forgotten how you left because you thought it was too much trouble? What if they see you here? Won't you leave again because you think it's too much trouble?"

This answer seemed to amuse the store manager, but based on his understanding of Qi Jiu, the reason seemed quite reasonable.

"I saw them just now, they're still as annoying as ever."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the person opposite him froze, then looked up abruptly. "You saw them? What did you see? They? You've been discovered?"
