When An Moxue left school in the afternoon, the streets were already under complete lockdown.
Groups of people gathered together, talking about the serial murders of the previous night.
This did not dampen An Moxue's enthusiasm for going out.
She arrived at the tavern early, but there was someone else who arrived even earlier than her.
An Moxue entered the house and was looking for someone when she heard someone call her: "Jido, over here."
An Moxue walked over to the girl who had called her, sat down, and asked, "Sophia, you're here so early?"
“Giddy, you arrived quite early too.”
Sophia picked up her glass and said to An Moxue, "A glass of vodka, please."
An Moxue shook her head, snapped her fingers, called over a waiter, and said, "A glass of Bordeaux red wine."
“Giddy, this won’t do! How can you call it wine? You have to drink spirits.” Sofia disagreed.
“Sophia, I’ve never drunk strong liquor, in fact, I rarely even drink low-alcohol beverages. Once everyone’s here, you’ll have to look after me, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to find my way home,” An Moxue said in a low voice to Sophia.
"Alright! I can tell you're a Mongolian lamb, oh, a sucker." Sofia looked like she saw right through her.
An Moxue looked like she couldn't do anything to you and had to rely on you for protection, which amused Sophia.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." She paused for a moment, then added, "Jido, my dad's birthday party is in a few days. I'll send you an invitation, so please come!"
An Moxue was somewhat surprised. She thought it would take some effort to get the invitation, but Sophia brought it up on her own initiative.
An Moxue hesitated before speaking, "Sophia, we only met during the entrance interview. Would it be too presumptuous for me to go to Uncle's birthday party like this? It wouldn't be good if Uncle was unhappy."
"It's alright. My father welcomes all my friends, especially a beautiful girl like you."
"Alright then! You need to tell me about your uncle's preferences so I can prepare a gift that he'll like, so as not to disappoint your invitation."
"Sure!..."
Just as the two were finishing their discussion about the party, three more girls arrived.
"Sophia, Giddo, great! You two are here so early."
"Katyusha, Saiya, Masha, come and do it."
So the five girls sat together, each ordered a drink, and started chatting.
"It's the first day of school today. I thought it would all be school-related stuff, but I didn't expect it to be all about the Blood Skull serial murder case. Oh my god, I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight," Katyusha said, taking a sip of her drink, sounding a bit exaggerated.
Martha, standing next to her, ruthlessly exposed her, saying, "Come on! We didn't see any fear in you, but rather a little excitement. If you're scared, why don't you stay home and not come out!"
On the other side, Saiya rolled her eyes and then ruthlessly exposed her: "Katyusha, you're more proactive than anyone else when something happens. I didn't see you being afraid. Is your fear different from others, so unique?"
An Moxue didn't respond to their question, but instead asked, "What, is there any new development in the case?"
"I heard that twelve people died last night, all of them Japanese. All their valuables were gone. The strange thing is that the other people who were with these twelve people are all fine, without even a scratch. Now everyone is more inclined to seek revenge."
"Yeah, so we can keep having fun without worry."
"Where is the murderer?!"
"Who knows? I think it will be difficult for the government to find the murderer."
"Hey, let's not talk about this now that we're out. I'm telling you, I've found a handsome guy in the next class, and I'm going to go after him. You wouldn't believe it, his deep blue eyes, like the ocean, his slightly wavy brown hair, and every move he makes exudes masculine charm—he's totally my type."
"Alright, Katyusha, stop being so infatuated. I bet you'll lose interest in him and set your sights on something else before you even catch up with him."
"Yes."
"right."
The other three echoed each other, and An Moxue was surprised. Was liking someone so casual?
......
The streets remained under curfew, and An Moxue went to school as usual. That evening, Wu Sicheng came to find An Moxue.
"What are your thoughts on the series of cases a few days ago?" Wu Sicheng looked at An Moxue, not missing a single expression on her face.
"No, what's wrong? You found the murderer? I haven't heard about it!" An Moxue's eyes were filled with clear confusion.
Wu Sicheng suppressed his doubts and said, "I came here today to ask you how the translation of that document is going?"
"Oh! Wait a moment." After saying that, An Moxue got up and went to the study to get the documents and handed them to Wu Sicheng.
In fact, An Moxue made a copy of both the original and the translated documents in her online space, just in case.
"Be careful lately. If you have any missions, be extra careful. The government won't lift martial law until they find the murderer, so be extra cautious when you go out." Wu Sicheng said, opening the document and reading it. He felt that An Moxue's translation was very accurate, far beyond his own level.
After reading the document, he asked, "By the way, how come you know so many languages, and are so proficient in them all?"
“I learned it from my dad, so why can’t I?” An Moxue looked at Wu Sicheng and replied in a less than friendly tone.
In fact, An Muyang does know several languages and has taught them to An Moxue. An Moxue even knows Manchu, which was taught to her by her mother. Her parents taught An Moxue everything they knew.
An Moxue did very well in her studies, but she never showed it. She was just like the other children in the compound.
It just so happens that the languages An Moxue learned in both lifetimes were the same, except for Mongolian, which An Moxue had never learned before and started learning after arriving here.
Wu Sicheng thought about the information he had gathered about An Muyang in China, paused for a moment, and then realized he had asked a stupid question. He said, "Don't be angry. I'm just a little shocked that you know so much at such a young age."
"It's okay, who told me to be so smart? I learn everything so quickly. There's nothing I can do about it. It's a gift from my parents, something others can only envy, and they can't take away even if they wanted to." An Moxue said shamelessly.
Wu Sicheng didn't know what to say. How could a girl be so shameless?
Aren't you ashamed?
If An Moxue knew what she was thinking, she would definitely tell him that this confidence stemmed from her strength, not from shamelessness.
"By the way, the head of the Nikolai family is having a birthday banquet in a few days and will be inviting many relatives and friends. You can try to find a way to get to know some nobles in Osiris, which will be good for expanding your network here."
"Yes, I know, I've already received the invitation."
This time, Wu Sicheng was genuinely surprised.
