Shen Cimo smiled and shook his head, "No need, we're all family."
He had taken off his suit, and his messy hair wasn't as meticulously styled as before; now, he exuded a sense of languor.
Compared to usual, they seem easier to get along with.
He held a cup of coffee, the aroma of which mingled with the fragrance of the surrounding flowers.
"MoMo, aren't you curious about what I did this time?"
Having spent so much time together, I've developed about 80% trust in Momo. This time, my departure was too rushed, but this guy didn't ask a single question and immediately offered his help.
This is far too much of an overconfidence in her.
Shen Cimo looked up at the girl, then lowered his eyes and drank a cup of coffee.
"No need to ask. You must have your own reasons for suddenly going abroad. I have no right to interfere with your international influence. If you want to talk about it, then talk about it. If you don't want to talk about it, then I won't press you."
This is basic courtesy.
He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, his smile deepening. They were all involved in international affairs; he could understand if they had to conceal their identities.
Qi Jiu nodded but did not reply.
If Shen Cimo's words are true, it's just that her current identity is somewhat different from her previous one, N. Unless there's absolutely no other choice, it's better for her to keep it a secret.
Let's talk about the future later. What if we accidentally blurt it out at some crucial moment?
The air suddenly became quiet, and neither of them spoke much. As if they had already agreed beforehand, they appreciated the surrounding environment.
After a long while, they left together.
As the sun rose high, Qi Jiu looked at the familiar surroundings before her, a faint smile playing on her lips.
According to the schedule, there were no early classes that day, but she still arrived at school early.
In the principal's office, Wei Huan looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression. He couldn't hit her or scold her, but he felt helpless.
I wanted to say something several times, but I swallowed it all back.
"My little darling, you've finally decided to come back?"
None of my family members understand. We finally found a promising student, and before we've even done anything since school started, he's already taken a month off.
Qi Jiu smiled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, "I'm here to report back from leave."
Actually, this kind of work is usually the job of a counselor, but in her memory, Wei Huan became her counselor at some point.
She had contacted the counselor before, but the application process was too complicated, so it was faster to contact the principal directly.
Wei Huan was quite happy to do these things, and he continued to do so afterward.
Wei Huan snorted coldly, but he held back his expression, even though it wasn't very pleasant.
Then, he looked at Qi Jiu, who was still drunk across from him and hadn't left yet, and raised an eyebrow.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
I suddenly have a bad feeling. What's going on?
Qi Jiu chuckled and leaned forward.
"I'll ask for leave for someone else. Leng Ruo from our dorm has some family matters to attend to and won't be able to come anytime soon."
"Leng Ruo?"
Wei Huan was taken aback, and looked at Qi Jiu with a complicated expression.
"You should have handed this over to Leng Ruo's counselor. Why are you asking me?"
Are they really treating him like a counselor? He's clearly the principal! The principal! He has so much to do every day!
This job clearly isn't his! Can he even go to work?!
Unexpectedly, the girl opposite him leaned back naturally and said, "I'm already here, do you think I would make another trip?"
Wei Huan: "..."
How long will it take?
"Six months."
"?"
What? His hearing shouldn't be impaired, how much?
He seemed to freeze, his eyes widening as he stared at Qi Jiu. "How long?"
"Six months."
Actually, that's an understatement. These past six months have only been a period of closed training. There will be more training afterward, or Leng Ruo might want to take on some missions, but we won't tell the old man about that.
Otherwise, they'll jump up and down again.
"Then she might as well just drop out of school and not come for half a semester! What's the point of going to school at all?"
Sure enough, Wei Huan was dumbfounded.
For some reason, Wei Huan now feels that nothing good is going to happen when he looks at Qi Jiu, this little ancestor.
Qi Jiu smiled and said, "She won't take a break from school, she'll just ask for leave. Leng Ruo will take the exam at the end of the semester. As for the participation grade, she's a good student, so she doesn't need it."
Leng Ruo: "..."
Sometimes, you still want just a little bit more.
Wei Huan: "..."
"You don't need to worry about that, since it's not your department that you failed."
Wei Huan: "..." There's actually some truth to that.
After leaving the principal's office, the girl returned to her dormitory with practiced ease. As soon as she took out her key to open the door, the two people inside froze.
Qi Jiu looked at him as if he were an alien at first, and then it took her two seconds to realize what was happening.
"Qiqi?! You're back!"
Gong Rui surrounded them and looked Qi Jiu up and down from head to toe.
"Why did you suddenly take leave, and for so long? Did something happen? Tell me what's wrong. Although our Chen family isn't as powerful as the Shen family, we still have some resources."
Chen Yueqiu held the books, a hint of worry on her face.
The girl shook her head. "It's nothing serious, don't worry."
He then returned to his seat. He hadn't been back for a month, and surprisingly, the table was still quite clean.
Seeing Qi Jiu's stunned expression, Gong Rui smiled.
"Stop looking, Yueqiu wipes the tables for you every week." Gong Rui's expression changed slightly at this. "Qiqi's back, when is Ruoruo coming back?"
Leng Ruo left the day after Qi Jiu took leave, and the two of them have been living in the dormitory ever since. Fortunately, Qi Jiu has returned.
Qi Jiu continued packing without stopping. "I won't be coming back for a while. It seems something's happened at the Leng family's place."
How serious is it?
The girl was taken aback. "It's hard to judge, but it's a big deal."
The eldest daughter of the Leng family has become an assassin; that can't be a small matter.
After tidying up her dorm room, the girl walked to the laboratory even though it wasn't time for class yet.
Hearing the scattered chatter inside, he nodded.
It seems they are all here.
With a "click," the laboratory door was pushed open. He Qingfeng, who was conducting an experiment, did not look up, but the three people next to her looked at her and blinked.
"Sister Qi!"
"Junior schoolgirl!"
Hearing the voices around him, He Qingfeng, who was conducting an experiment, paused in his work and subconsciously looked up at the laboratory door.
The girl at the door had changed into a white lab coat at some point and was now smiling at them.
"Sister Qi, you're finally back! I've been so bored while you were gone. Without you roasting people, I felt like something was missing from my life."
