"Old man?"
Han Yan looked at her somewhat absent-minded appearance and suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong? Is your boyfriend ignoring you? Did you have a fight? Or did you make him angry?"
He seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Hearing the girl laugh, he leaned back in his chair, exuding a lazy aura.
What is all this nonsense? We're all adults, there's no need to have our minds filled with nothing but romance.
"The term 'little boyfriend' doesn't seem quite right. I'm 18 this year, and Qi Silin is already 24, six years older than me. Is the term 'little boyfriend' appropriate?"
He should be my boyfriend, no matter what.
The two didn't continue arguing about whether he was a younger or older boyfriend.
The conversation turned to the Qi family, and although Han Yan didn't want to say too much, there were some things that needed to be said.
He carefully observed the girl's expression, afraid of angering her at any moment.
"Qiqi, you can choose to terminate the Qi family's mission at any time. If you like China, then continue to live in China. You are free, so you don't need to worry about these things."
The girl lowered her eyes, her emotions unreadable.
Yes, she is a free woman, unlike the assassins in the organization.
Is it really that simple to go back to being an ordinary person from such a status?
"I...I'm not sure yet."
She is still unsure whether to unravel the mystery of her origins, as many questions are troubling her.
She didn't know if, after the mystery of her origins was solved, her original family would treat her as well as the Shen family, and let her experience the feeling of home.
Will they show her care and concern like they did with Shen Ting and Liu Li?
She couldn't be sure about any of these things. If her original family couldn't do these things, then what did it matter whether her background was revealed or not?
That's how we got through 2018 anyway.
Han Yan seemed to have anticipated her state of mind, so he didn't urge her but instead smiled.
"It's okay, you can take your time. No one is rushing you here. I'll say it again: whatever you want to do, your master will approve."
When Qi Jiu left Han Yan's office, the sun had already risen halfway up the mountain.
The region where their international assassin organization is located is somewhat different from that in China. Some areas here are primeval jungles, giving it a very pristine feel.
Therefore, it is extremely dangerous. In the jungle, everything from wild beasts to ants and plants can take a person's life unexpectedly.
However, the building where they lived was not simple at all; it was even somewhat luxurious.
It is quite different from the primeval forest not far away.
Qi Jiu stood on high ground, looking up at the red sunset on the horizon, and looking down at the people training in the training ground, the jungle, and the training area.
They were perfectly synchronized, and possessed a ruthlessness that ordinary people wouldn't have.
This is the place she's lived in since childhood. Although she lives a life of constant danger, it's not so bad.
So, is it really necessary to open that letter about his background?
"Sir?"
Suddenly, a slightly probing voice came from the side.
Qi Jiu turned around, and in the instant her face was revealed, she also saw the person opposite her clearly.
I recognized him at a glance.
The person opposite was wearing a military green training uniform. Perhaps because he often trained in the sun, his skin was slightly dark, a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
Compared to his buzz cut, his slightly longer, choppy hair was soaked with sweat, and his resolute face looked at her with disbelief.
"How are you doing?" The girl smiled; the person in front of her seemed very familiar.
One is an instructor, and the other is an assassin trainee.
They were like long-lost friends; the moment the girl spoke, you could see the barely concealed excitement on her face.
"Sir! Sir! You're back!"
Yuan Qi's voice grew louder and louder, and he was visibly becoming more and more excited.
It seemed like it had been half a year since they last met. Although it had only been a few months, it felt like a long time.
Seeing Qi Jiu now seems quite unbelievable.
"Sir, I miss you so much."
Who would have thought that a rough, old man is now looking at a little girl who is much smaller than himself with teary eyes?
The longing and yearning in his eyes were as if he had found a powerful ally.
This scene looks incredibly eerie.
Seeing Yuan Qi's outstretched arms, Qi Jiu subconsciously moved to the side.
Yuan Qi: "..."
No, it's only been half a year. Where is the love?
The two sat side by side on the hilltop, gazing at the beautiful scenery of M Continent. A cool breeze swept by, making them feel refreshed.
"Sir, are you leaving this time?"
Yuan Qi, despite his large size, was now cautiously curled up beside the girl, looking at her expectantly, waiting for her answer.
"You've completed your apprenticeship, so you don't need to call me 'sir' anymore."
Such a title would be fine for anyone else, but it always felt awkward for the person in front of him, since she had stopped training him a long time ago.
"No, a teacher for a day is a father for life. How about I call you... Dad?"
Qi Jiu: "..." There's no need for that.
"I'll be staying for a while, and I'll be participating in this recruitment drive."
The two chatted leisurely, seemingly lamenting the passage of time.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the girl felt a vibration in her pocket and instinctively took out her phone. Sure enough, she saw the red dot on the profile picture of the person she missed on the screen.
"I'm sorry, baby, I was too busy this morning. I also went abroad and had some things to take care of. Don't worry about me."
Qi Jiu was stunned when she saw the line of text on the screen.
Did they go abroad too?
The smile on her lips slowly faded, and before she could think of anything, the person next to her spoke.
"Sir? What's making you so happy? You never smile when I watch you train before."
Although he has been a master for so long, the number of times he has seen Qi Jiu smile is very few.
Seeing Yuan Qi's somewhat puzzled expression, Qi Jiu smiled. "If you ever meet someone you like in the future, you'll definitely be the one laughing the loudest."
This feeling is a satisfaction that others cannot experience.
Back in the familiar manor, Qi Jiu headed straight for the main building.
Pushing open the door, looking at the familiar room and smelling that familiar scent, a touch of nostalgia appeared on my face.
Although she was always away on missions and living away from home, this place still held a certain magic that drew her in.
Even after so much time has passed, this place is still spotless, which shows that someone always cleans it.
"Buzz!"
Qi Jiu stared at the video call invitation on the screen for a moment, then clicked to answer.
In an instant, Qi Silin's exquisitely handsome face appeared on the screen.
