After returning from his business trip, the first thing Ling Shen did was go to the school.
He didn't come with the intention of serving the emperor; it's just that Lu Jiayan had been in charge of the work here before, and now that it's nearing its end, Ling Shen is here to clean up the mess.
He arrived early in the morning, and after resolving the matter, he talked with the principal for a long time.
After all, he is a rare genius student in this school. Many people are proud to be admitted to this university, but Ling Shen's existence is the pride of this school.
So the principal talked to Ling Shen a bit more.
The principal had a cocktail party to attend that evening, which is why he let Ling Shen go.
After the principal left, Ling Shen sent Lu Jiayan away to handle some matters, and then, thinking of the secret base he hadn't visited in a long time, he came over.
This place belongs to him; the principal knows it, everyone in the school knows it, and even though he's no longer at school, no one else dares to approach it.
But when Ling Shen got out of the elevator and walked up the small stairs, he began to realize that something was wrong.
Someone has been here.
Ling Shen frowned slightly, a look of wariness flashing in his eyes like that of an animal discovering its territory has been invaded.
Although the footprints on the ground were not very obvious, Ling Shen still noticed them.
He raised his eyes, his deep, dark eyes locking onto the door to his secret base.
He had carefully selected this place, and after he had it set up, he spoke with the principal to prevent other students from coming here.
But now, in the time he's been away, someone has come to this place.
That's practically suicide.
Ling Shen's eyes turned fierce in an instant.
He stepped forward, opened the door, and went inside.
Then, he stopped in his tracks.
Someone did come to his secret base, and that person is now sleeping on his sofa.
Holding his book, he lay down on his expensive custom-made sofa without even taking off his shoes.
But Ling Shen's originally fierce eyes softened the moment he saw the person lying on the sofa.
He stood at the door, looking at the person lying on the sofa. After a long while, his originally cold expression suddenly cracked.
He chuckled softly, casually closing the door behind him, and said, "Oh, so it was just a little tabby cat that wandered in."
Ling Shen walked over, stood by the sofa, and glanced at Qian Sui. The little girl was probably really exhausted; she had fallen asleep halfway through reading her book.
No one knows what she was dreaming about, but Chitose still had a sweet smile on her lips.
Ling Shen recalled how Qian Sui had been eating silently the last time they met, and guessed that she was probably dreaming about food.
But Ling Shen could never have imagined that Qian Sui had a smile on her face even when she was sleeping because she was waiting to wake up so she could move all her things out of the house.
Qian Sui was fast asleep, so Ling Shen didn't disturb her. He sat down at the desk in front of the bookshelf and picked up a book to read.
Not long after, Lu Jiayan called Ling Shen.
Lu Jiayan guessed that Ling Shen would go to the secret base alone after finishing his conversation with the principal. Only then did Lu Jiayan remember that he had given the key to Qian Sui earlier.
He didn't know if Qian Sui had visited during this time.
Ling Shen's obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia meant he could detect anyone who had entered that space.
So it's better to say something first, just to be safe.
"I gave the key to your secret base to Chitose before, I don't know if she has been there recently."
Ling Shen answered the phone, his eyes slightly raised, and saw the person sleeping on his sofa, still not taking off their shoes.
His brow twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Lu Jiayan added, "Even if the young girl went there and touched something, you should still be gentle. I saw her alone before, and she looked so pitiful. She could only go to the abandoned building to feed the kittens, and those kittens were all wild cats, all dirty."
Ling Shen looked at Qian Sui and thought to himself: She herself is like a dirty little cat.
Ling Shen recalled how Lu Jiayan had threatened him with Qian Sui to get a raise.
Now that the Emperor is right in front of him, he no longer needs to fear any threats.
Ling Shen asked, "What's the name of the person you mentioned who's always wanted to get close to Qian Sui?"
Lu Jiayan said, "Zhang Shaochuan." He seemed to be going upstairs, and after a few steps he continued, "He's the one who always wanted to challenge you, but you ignored him."
Ling Shen said "Oh," and then added, "Then we don't need to worry about it."
Because some people are not high enough in rank to even be considered enemies.
From the very beginning, Ling Shen never took Zhang Shaochuan seriously.
Ling Shen listened to the phone call while looking at Qian Sui.
Chisui wore a black dress today with a Chinese knot button design at the neckline and a delicate crane embroidered on the chest.
The skirt is pretty, but it's a bit short, ending above the knee.
As Chisui slept, she suddenly rolled over, and the book covering her stomach fell to the ground.
After she turned over, her legs moved restlessly, and her skirt rode up even higher.
Ling Shen's eyes darkened.
He didn't care what Lu Jiayan was saying on the other end of the phone, and put down his phone and stood up.
He walked to Qian Sui's side and his gaze fell on Qian Sui's thigh.
The contrast between the black dress and her fair skin was striking.
Ling Shen's eyes also became even more profound.
The phone on the table emitted Lu Jiayan's voice.
"Young Master Ling? Boss Ling? Are you listening?"
Ling Shen's gaze remained fixed on Qian Sui, his tone somewhat impatient: "I'm listening."
Lu Jiayan sensed the impatience in Ling Shen's tone and stopped talking, leaving only the words: "Take care of your business first, and call me anytime if you need anything."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
As the phone call ended, the space fell completely silent.
Ling Shen looked at Qian Sui, and suddenly, he squatted down.
He unbuttoned his suit jacket and draped it over Qian Sui's legs.
After he closed the book, he picked up the book that had fallen to the ground and then focused his gaze back on Chisui's face.
Chisui was still sleeping soundly. Because she was lying on her side, her cheeks were pressed down, making her look even more adorable.
Ling Shen suddenly reached out and touched the beauty mark under Qian Sui's left eye with his fingertip.
At first, he didn't dare to touch it, just hovering in the air, as if he was very nervous, and his outstretched hand trembled slightly.
After a long while, he dared to place his finger on the corner of Qian Sui's eye.
This beauty mark under the eye is truly unique.
Chisui has an innocent look, with a round face and peach blossom eyes, making her appear youthful and naive.
Yet, because of this beauty mark under her eye, her appearance, while pure, also exudes a cold and aloof beauty.
"Long live the Emperor."
Ling Shen murmured Qian Sui's name.
"Your name is Qiansui."
He read it a few more times, and then suddenly chuckled softly.
Chisui had been asleep for a while; she was just a heavy sleeper, but I don't think she was addicted to sleep.
So when Ling Shen reached out and touched her, and silently repeated her name several times, Qian Sui began to slowly wake up.
She mumbled a confused "Hmm?" in a soft, sweet voice.
"I am here."
She rubbed her eyes and woke up.
